"Commander Lu, please."

"I never expected that Zhengqi Street would be such a place, with hidden talents like Young Master Han. If people knew that a small general store had two martial artists who had entered the pass, the martial arts schools and wealthy families in the city would be ashamed."

"Commander Lu flatters me. Martial arts cultivation is fraught with countless dangers. Although talent and family background are important, luck is just as crucial. It's all just luck."

……

After a brief exchange of pleasantries and flattery, we finally got to the point.

Han Ping'an invited Lu Bing to sit down and have some tea, but the latter waved his hand and put down the tea box.

"Miss is still recovering from her injuries and cannot come in person. I hope Young Master Han will understand."

"After learning about this, the head of the family was very grateful and specially ordered me to come and present a small gift to Young Master Han."

"As per Young Master Han's request, I believe Young Master Han will not be disappointed."

Lu Bing raised his hand towards the box, gesturing for Han Ping'an to take a look first.

Although it was a bit inappropriate to look at the gift in front of the guest, since the other party had given such a signal, Han Ping'an opened the gift box with great anticipation.

The first thing you see is a booklet placed on top.

Martial arts?

A hint of surprise flashed in Han Ping'an's eyes. To be honest, he was not lacking in ordinary martial arts skills.

However, since the Lu family is making a move according to my requirements, it shouldn't be too bad, right?

He took out the booklet, opened it, and was taken aback.

Nine Yin Jade Bone Claw??

Why not call it Nine Yin White Bone Claw? Is it because the name doesn't sound good?

Han Pingan patiently continued reading.

After several dozen breaths, his expression turned solemn, and his eyes showed surprise.

This martial art is very powerful.

How powerful is it? It's at least four or five times more powerful than the Blood Jade Bone-Eroding Claw.

Moreover, having mastered the Blood Jade Bone-Corroding Claw, he has a slight advantage in practicing this martial art.

Drawing upon the moon's essence, it circulates nine times to refine the profound yin, returning the yin to its origin and transforming the qi into a blade.

This is the general outline.

Its claw techniques are incredibly profound, combining feints and real attacks, grasping and locking, combining strength and softness, and displaying countless variations.

Even a cursory glance was enough to shock him.

The Blood Jade Bone-Corroding Claw is already considered a superior claw technique, but compared to this technique, it is utterly insignificant.

If you truly master it, this claw technique alone will allow you to stand out from the crowd.

However, the difficulty is also astonishing.

  

Leaving aside the tedious and headache-inducing claw techniques, just drawing on the moonlight to refine the profound yin is a major challenge.

talent!

constitution!

Even though his physical condition has changed, he still doesn't have much confidence in this area.

Drawing moonlight into the body...

It seems that I have practiced martial arts under the bright moon at night before, but I have never felt anything unusual or special.

"How is it? In terms of level and power, this martial art is not bad even in the whole county."

Han Pingan said with a wry smile, "It's just too difficult."

It's unlikely that anyone in the Lu family will be able to master it.

Lu Bing chuckled: "Where there's a will, there's a way. I think Young Master Han still has a chance."

Thank you.

Han Ping'an glanced at Lu Bing, knowing that although the martial art the other party had given him was suitable, he probably didn't think Lu Bing could master it.

But of course we have to keep it.

How do you know it won't work if you don't try?

Then he looked at the contents of the box.

A jade bottle and a wooden box.

After taking both items out, two pills the size of longan were found inside the jade bottle.

Opening the wooden box revealed an old ginseng root.

The fragrance of ginseng permeates the air, refreshing and invigorating.

What is most striking is that its surface seems to be shrouded in a thin layer of white mist, which is quite strange.

Lu Bing looked proud and said indifferently, "This is a three-stage Refining Essence into Qi Pill, which can help one advance from the Essence Gate to the Qi Gate. It is hard to find even on the black market and is controlled by powerful families. One pill is worth nearly a thousand taels of silver."

"This ginseng is the White Mist Treasure Ginseng, a hundred years old, with extremely abundant essence and energy, which can prolong life."

hiss!

Han Ping'an clicked his tongue in amazement.

Good heavens, no wonder they're from the Lu family.

This move was truly unexpected.

The Nine Yin Jade Bone Claw is too difficult to master, so let's put it aside for now.

These two pills and one ginseng alone are worth several thousand taels of silver.

Especially the first two pills, although it was just Lu Bing's opinion, he had never heard of them in all his time at the general store. Even if there was some exaggeration, it shouldn't be too exaggerated.

It's available but priceless.

"I am ashamed."

Han Ping'an withdrew his gaze, looked at Lu Bing, and sighed, "Even without my intervention, the Lu family's strength would have been more than enough to overcome this challenge. It's nothing to mention. I am truly unworthy of such a generous gift."

Lu Bing's lips twitched.

Oh shit.

How can someone so young pretend to be so good?

Why don't you come back?

Lu Bing inwardly scoffed, but said insincerely, "Young Master Han, please don't underestimate yourself. The situation was dire at the time, and even I wasn't entirely confident. Please accept this small gift."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony."

"Please thank Miss Fourth for me. I'm also grateful for Commander Lu's personal trip."

Han Ping'an straightened his expression and bowed respectfully.

"Of course."

"Now that the gift has been delivered, I won't stay any longer. Young Master Han, you are welcome to visit the Lu family when you have time."

"Oh, by the way, the situation is complicated lately, so Young Master Han should prepare in advance."

Before leaving, Lu Bing left behind a profound statement.

Han Ping'an frowned. "You're just saying 'prepare early'? Could you please be more specific?"

"I'm afraid the move won't be small."

"Forget it, Uncle Ping An is out there, and he has a much wider range of ways to gather information than I do."

He knew very well that even if he showed any intention of seeking refuge with the Lu family, or even visited the Lu family as a guest, he might not be able to obtain much useful information.

Powerful families aren't stupid; they won't act until they see a clear benefit.

Closing the shop door and turning back to look at the things on the table, Han Ping'an couldn't help but sigh again, "They're really generous."

At this time.

Li Mengshan walked up from behind and his pupils contracted when he saw the things on the table.

"The Refining Essence into Qi Pill, and this ginseng... the White Mist Treasure Ginseng, wow, it must be at least a hundred years old."

"The Lu family is incredibly generous."

Li Mengshan's eyes turned red.

Seeing Li Mengshan's reaction, Han Pingan carefully inquired and realized that his guess was indeed correct.

These three-stage Refining Essence and Transforming Qi Pills are extremely rare, with only a handful appearing even on the black market over a very long period. They are tightly controlled by powerful clans.

If you're lucky, one can even be hyped up to a price far exceeding a thousand taels.

For some people who have been accumulating energy for many years but have never been able to take that final step, this elixir can directly help them achieve their goals.

Even as the deputy leader of the Black Tiger Hall, he hadn't found it easy to obtain one.

Needless to say, the 100-year-old White Mist Ginseng is exceptional.

If he obtains this ginseng, he will be confident that he can break through the Qi barrier within a month, without needing anything else.

It can be seen.

In Han Ping'an's eyes, this precious ginseng had a lifespan number that was densely packed, and it could definitely increase by a lot.

"Thank you for clearing up my doubts, Uncle Li."

"I'm going to cultivate now."

Han Ping'an was extremely satisfied, picked up the things, and ran into the backyard.

Li Mengshan was left standing in the front hall with a bitter expression.

Jill was envious.

Why do I never encounter such good things?

……

It's almost midnight.

Han Ping'an stepped out of the room, leaped up, and landed steadily on the roof.

There is a moon tonight.

Although it was just a small crescent moon.

According to the description of the Nine Yin Jade Bone Claw, starting at midnight, one should face the bright moon and attempt to draw the moon's essence into the body.

If one cannot draw the moon's essence into the body, one cannot cultivate this method.

Of course, it's not that absolute; some extremely special treasures can still provide assistance.

For example, certain rare materials and medicinal herbs can absorb the essence of the moon and refine the moon's yin energy contained within them.

However, such treasures are dozens of times rarer and more precious than elixirs and white mist ginseng.

Moreover, this method is insufficient for cultivating this technique, lacking continuity and unable to solve the problem in one fell swoop.

The key is to absorb the moon's essence into the body.

"Let's give it a try."

Han Ping'an took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes, facing the crescent moon.

Then, he stirred his essence, his dark flames surged in the Nether Sea, and his Yin energy exploded. He then slowly entered the state according to the breathing technique of the Nine Yin Jade Bone Claw.
