God-Slaying Blade

After an incense stick has burned.

Qin Jue slowly walked over.

Hong Tiehu and the others were all filled with excitement and high spirits.

"Young Master!"

Upon seeing Qin Jue arrive, everyone held their knives in one hand, made a fist with their left hand and placed it against their chest, and bowed respectfully.

Qin Jue smiled faintly and said, "I suppose you have already felt the changes in your bodies. In the coming period, you should cultivate even harder and strive to break through as soon as possible."

"Young Master, this change is nothing short of a complete transformation! Moreover, I have a faint feeling that I'm about to break through to a higher realm!" Hong Tiehu said excitedly.

"Master, are you about to advance to the Grandmaster realm?"

"Very good!"

The Hong family members were overjoyed.

Reaching the Grandmaster realm means standing at the pinnacle of martial prowess in Fengzhou!

Qin Jue smiled and said, "Now that your qi and blood are strong and your meridians are wide and resilient, you do indeed meet the conditions for breaking through to the next realm."

Hong Tiehu's eyes reddened slightly as he said, "I have to thank you all for this, young master! If it weren't for your help in refining our bodies and giving us such a great opportunity to transform our physical forms, I'm afraid that even after several years of recuperation, I would only be able to barely recover to my peak condition back then. How could I dare to hope to break through to the next realm?"

He was truly grateful to Qin Jue.

It wasn't just because his strength had increased, but because after breaking through to a higher realm, he truly had a chance to take revenge!

Qin Jue smiled faintly and said, "I will give you the opportunity, but you have to earn it yourself. As long as you are loyal and willing to work hard, the Qin family will not mistreat anyone."

"We are willing to die for our young master!" Hong Tiehu and the others said solemnly.

Qin Jue nodded and said, "Go back to your own places and continue your cultivation!"

"yes!"

Hong Tiehu and the others retreated.

Huang Gang rubbed his hands excitedly and stepped forward with a grin, saying, "Big brother, did you give them those big knives? I want one too."

Qin Jue shook his head and said, "This Tiger Soul Slaying Blade is the exclusive battle sword of my Qin family's guards. The sword techniques they practice are also not passed on to outsiders."

Huang Gang chuckled and said, "That's easy. If you recruit me, I'll become a guard at the Qin residence."

Qin Jue chuckled, "Are you out of your mind? You'd rather be a young master Huang than a guard in my Qin residence. Even if you really wanted to come, I'm afraid you'd ruin Xiao Qing and Xiao He's lives."

Xiaoqing and Xiaohe turned pale and hurriedly said, "Young Master, you can't provoke him. We are Miss's maids; even if we are to be harmed, it can only be by you, Young Master..."

In the end, both of them blushed and lowered their heads, their voices growing softer and softer.

They look like they're hoping to be harmed by Qin Jue.

Qin Jue's lips twitched; he was just joking with Huang Gang.

Huang Gang laughed heartily, "Brother, you can rest assured about that. Those two are flat-chested and not my type at all. Brother, just take me in! I've already decided to follow you for life. Adding the title of Qin Mansion guard wouldn't matter to me!"

Qin Jue smiled faintly, "You can't be a guard. But if you can refine a Xuan-grade pill, I can take you into the Qin family as a guest elder. At that time, I might as well give you a Tiger Soul Slaying Blade."

Huang Gang's face fell. "Brother, aren't you making things difficult for me? If I could refine a Xuan-grade pill, would they still call me a good-for-nothing behind my back?"

Qin Jue said calmly, "Just refine more vegetables. Anyway, your grandfather has plenty of materials, so he can afford to waste them. The benefits of these few days of seclusion and body tempering are not just about increased strength, but a complete transformation of your physical body. Once you go back and refine a few batches of pills, you will find the difference between yourself and before."

Upon hearing this, Huang Gang took a deep breath and solemnly said, "Alright, since you've said so, I'll start refining pills diligently tomorrow and strive to refine a Xuan-grade pill as soon as possible!"

Qin Jue frowned and asked, "Do you have something to do today?"

Huang Gang grinned: "Today I'm going to the Drunken Flower Pavilion to see if I'm still a weakling. Big brother, wanna come along? It's on me!"

"You can get out of here!" Qin Jue's face darkened.

Huang Gang grinned wickedly, "Brother, respectable women have their advantages, and courtesans have their allure. The experience is completely different. Are you sure you don't want to try it out?"

hum.

Qin Jue suddenly gripped the God-Slaying Blade in his right hand.

Huang Gang's eyes widened in fright, and he quickly turned and ran, crying out, "Brother, I know I was wrong, please don't kill me!"

"Hehe, serves them right, they even tried to corrupt our young master!" Xiaoqing and Xiaohe covered their mouths and chuckled.

Qin Jue turned around and looked at the two of them.

The two immediately fell silent and knelt down in a panic.

"Young...Young Master, it was my fault for being so rude!"

Qin Jue smiled faintly, "In the Qin family, loyalty is all that matters; there aren't that many rules. I just want to ask you all, do you want to cultivate martial arts?"

"Ah? Martial arts? Young master, can we also practice martial arts?" Xiaoqing asked excitedly.

Cultivating martial arts requires not only aptitude but also substantial resource support.

People of lowly status like Xiaoqing would normally have no right to practice martial arts.

Qin Jue said, "As Xi'er's personal maids, you will all remain in my Qin household from now on. If you possess some martial arts skills, you will be more efficient in handling matters. However, cultivating martial arts requires the ability to endure hardship. Are you willing to endure that hardship?"

"Xiaoqing agrees!"

"Xiaohe is willing too!"

The two women were thrilled. Cultivating martial arts could not only strengthen them, but might also change their destiny!

How could they not seize such an opportunity?

Qin Jue smiled and said, "Alright. I'll make arrangements in a few days. You may leave now."

"Yes." The two women left in delight.

That night, Qin Jue went to Han tide's courtyard.

After a series of meows and wails, Han tide nestled contentedly in Qin Jue's arms.

"Xi'er, tomorrow go and ask those girls we bought before, see if any of them are willing to practice martial arts. If so, bring them back," Qin Jue said with a smile.

Han tide asked in surprise, "Young Master, I don't quite understand. Women are not as advantageous as men in martial arts, so why do you want to train them in martial arts?"

Qin Jue smiled faintly, "In the path of martial arts, men only have a slight advantage in the early stages of cultivation, but in the later stages, there isn't much difference. I don't intend to train them to any particular level; I just hope that all members of my Qin family can have some combat strength. Of course, if there are any particularly outstanding ones, I will focus on cultivating them. Once they are cultivated, they can become the foundation of the Qin family."

For a family to prosper, it is far from enough for only one person to be powerful.

What Qin Jue wants is a powerful Qin family, a powerful Qin family that no one can shake!

If everyone in the Qin family back then had a cultivation level above Grandmaster, how could the Qin family have been so easily wiped out that night?

The tragedy of that night ultimately showed that the Qin family was not powerful enough back then!

"Alright, I'll go ask tomorrow. I'm sure no one would miss such an opportunity." Han tide smiled, her face slightly flushed, and said, "Young Master, I've rested well..."
