Gao Wu Da Qin: You don't want your secret to be known, do you?

Chapter 27 To accomplish great things, one must be fearless; to seek small gains, one must cherish one's life.

After hearing the old man's words, Qin Feng could only sigh that what was in the school textbooks was indeed just the tip of the iceberg.

True martial arts reside in government offices and among the various schools of thought.

This also confirms the famous saying of a fellow Daoist named Yu Jizi from my previous life: true martial arts are not in the Jianghu, nor in the evil path, but in the tower of the prestigious sects, at the pinnacle of orthodox power!

If you really want to achieve something great, you need a reliable organization and a prestigious sect. The idea that a small sect can produce extraordinary feats only happens in TV dramas. We are now in the Warring States period, the last era of the Hundred Schools of Thought. Even someone like me, who is considered a top-tier individual, needs a prestigious sect to stand out.

This clearly demonstrates how timely it was for me to write a letter of self-recommendation to Guiguzi.

Qin Feng nodded, "What the old gentleman said has enlightened me. However, I don't understand, is this realm related to the number of times one has practiced Bajiquan?"

The old man chuckled and said, "Of course! The Qin Dynasty allows ordinary martial arts techniques to spread widely in order to select experts. For example, you can master Bajiquan to the seventh level. With your talent, I wouldn't dare say you'll reach the fifth level of a minor national master, but you're guaranteed to reach the fourth level of a martial arts master!"

What is the social status of a fourth-realm martial artist?

"That's a regional metropolis with a population of tens of millions, and a legitimate secondary-level citizen!"

"If this happened in our Dragon City, he'd be a legendary figure whose every move would shake the entire city!"

"Young man, focus on your cultivation, avoid arrogance and impetuosity, and your future will be limitless!"

Qin Feng nodded, "I see! Thank you for your explanation, senior."

The old man said, "Learning martial arts shouldn't be rushed, especially in the early stages. There's a saying: 'Before eighteen, everything is a dark horse!' A person's blood and energy levels only reach their peak during their coming-of-age ceremony at eighteen. After eighteen, one has basically passed the limits of the human body, and blood and energy will only decline, not rise again! Therefore, breaking through to the Martial Apprentice realm at eighteen is the most suitable!"

"You're already twenty-seven years old this year. Logically speaking, breaking through to the Martial Apprentice realm is a bit late! Your Qi and blood have declined considerably. Your most urgent task now is to obtain a Qi and blood activation and circulation technique to awaken your Qi and blood throughout your body and convert it into power. Only when you perfectly convert your Qi and blood to the limit of power speed can you be considered to have reached the Martial Apprentice realm!"

"Regarding cultivation techniques, I suggest that if you have the money, you should choose a technique of at least the Xuan grade, even if you have to take out a loan, rather than choosing a low-grade trash technique!"

Qin Feng asked, "Senior, does this cultivation technique also have different levels?"

"Of course!" the old man said. "These cultivation techniques, elixirs, weapons, and armor all have strict imperial rankings: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow, each further divided into upper, middle, and lower levels! The determination of each grade is discussed and decided by the elders of the Imperial Martial Arts Alliance, and each has its own rationale. It's better to spend more money to buy a better one than to buy a worse one, otherwise you'll find in the end that the money you saved back then is now a source of bitter tears!"

Qin Feng nodded, "Understood! Thank you for your explanation, senior. I'll go to the third floor to buy the cultivation technique now!"

"Alright!" the old man said, "If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I'll answer them to the best of my ability!"

Qin Feng left the trial room, inwardly sighing. He realized that one could only reach the peak of Blood Qi at the age of eighteen, after which Blood Qi would decline. 🎄💀 ❻➈𝓼Ĥυ𝔵.ᑕ𝕠𝓂 🐤🐯

This feature doesn't seem to suit me.

Qin Feng remembered clearly that there was a sentence in the [Celestial Breathing Technique]: "It can be used once for each realm!"

In other words, one can increase their blood energy once at each realm. Currently, it is 1020, but it will increase even more when one reaches the Martial Apprentice realm.

I am different from ordinary people. Others reach their peak of Qi and Blood at the age of eighteen, but my peak of Qi and Blood becomes stronger as time goes on!

As for the cultivation method to activate qi and blood, Qin Feng is not in a hurry. After he enters the Ghost Valley Sect, the cultivation methods in the Ghost Valley Sect will definitely be 108,000 times stronger than those on the market!

Spending money on cultivation techniques is completely unnecessary. ♖👤 ❻9𝔰нǗx.𝐂Ⓞм ♔😾

If you really want to spend money, it's more effective to buy some high-level armor, high-level hidden weapons, and high-level pills!

After all, Qin Feng is really rich now. He feels like he's burning himself with eight million credits in his pocket. It would be a waste not to spend them and transform them into combat power.

"Why!"

Looking down from the third floor, an old man bumped right into Qin Feng.

At that moment, Qin Feng's head exploded with a buzzing sound.

The diary began to flip through the pages frantically, revealing hundreds of words of the old man's secret in one go!

[Hint: The old man is the head butler of the powerful Ouyang family! He also has a significant connection to the number nine fighter you met at the underground boxing ring before.]

[Contestant number nine is actually Ouyang Fu, the only son of Ouyang Chenglong of the Ouyang family. Ouyang Chenglong bribed the seventh son to help Ouyang Fu, but unfortunately, the seventh son killed Ouyang Chenglong's son because of a past grudge.]

[Ouyang Chenglong was furious. Just then, you killed the seventh son, helping Ouyang Chenglong avenge the murder of his son. Ouyang Chenglong was extremely grateful to you, so he arranged for his old steward to come to Longcheng to repay his benefactor.]

The old steward was very shrewd. He knew all the martial artists would have to come to the martial arts school, so he waited there for the masters of Bajiquan to arrive.

Today, the old steward confirmed through internal intelligence at the martial arts school that you can unleash a seven-hit combo in Bajiquan, so he suspects you have a master behind you. Your master is the benefactor who killed the seventh brother to avenge Ouyang Chenglong's son.

[The old butler intends to give you this gift as a token of gratitude! But!! Please note! This gift is no ordinary gift; it contains immense wealth, but it will also bring you countless enemies!]

Receiving this gift will bring you both immense trouble and immense opportunity. The other party has already subtly placed the gift inside the hood of your windbreaker. If you don't want it, return it immediately and deny having a master; otherwise, it will be confirmed!

Upon hearing the old man's description of pretending to bump into him and slipping him a gift, Qin Feng smiled inwardly. Wow, such a good thing exists?

I just killed the seventh brother, and not only did no one cause me any trouble, but people even came to my door to give me gifts?

As for the countless enemies brought about by this gift's immense wealth, Qin Feng disregarded them!

Throughout history, what great opportunity hasn't been fraught with danger?

Have you not seen Xie Xun's Dragon-Slaying Saber? It was relentlessly pursued by martial arts practitioners for decades!

But if you give up this incredible fortune that's been handed to you just because you're afraid of being hunted down or getting into trouble, wouldn't you become a useless person who hesitates to risk his life for a small gain?

A true hero must dare to look directly at the dripping blood and face the bleak reality!

Moreover, what Qin Feng lacks right now is precisely this kind of great opportunity!

Now that I'm a disciple of the School of Diplomacy, and a member of a major sect, as a disciple of the School of Diplomacy, you can choose not to live, but you cannot choose not to live!

The disciples of the School of Diplomacy all seek to become famous throughout the world!

Su Qin was adorned with the seals of prime minister of six states!

Zhang Yi went to Qin twice!

Sun Bin and Pang Juan were locked in a love-hate relationship!

Every Guigu master is a renowned figure! You wouldn't dare call yourself a disciple of Guigu unless you create a big scandal?

I, Qin Feng, haven't even entered the field yet, and I've already made a big splash. In the future, when Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie mention me, I'll praise me for being promising. After all, a good-for-nothing coward can't make a big splash!

Finally, Qin Feng had one last trick up his sleeve: Xie Xun, having obtained the immense opportunity of the Dragon-Slaying Saber, was being hunted down and dared not return to the Central Plains because he had no powerful backer!

Have you not seen how the Heaven-Reliant Sword, which is as famous as the Dragon-Slaying Saber, has been hanging in the Zhenwu Hall of Wudang Mountain for so many years, and no one has ever dared to steal it!

Why is Zhang Sanfeng invincible?

Even if I get the opportunity, I won't end up like Xie Xun!

After all, he has the support of Zongheng, Wei Zhuang of Liusha, the Sword Saint Gai Nie, and the contemporary Ghost Master!

With so many big shots backing me, I'm relatively safe. I can just play it safe and seize the opportunity without a problem!

Therefore, Qin Feng is determined to seize this opportunity!

Qin Feng is not someone who is afraid of trouble!

The jumbled thoughts were cleared up in the blink of an eye, and the old man was still lying on the ground.

Qin Feng quickly helped the old man up, repeatedly saying, "I'm so sorry, sir, are you alright?"

Qin Feng observed the old man carefully, without leaving a trace.

The old man was dressed in a very tasteful manner, wearing an exquisite black silk antique-style dress, with a string of exquisite antique bone and jade ornaments hanging from his waist. His eyebrows were sharp and his old eyes were bright. You could tell at a glance that he was a respectable person from a big city.

The old man patted his clothes as he said, "Young man, watch where you're going. Don't always look down. Didn't your master teach you that?"

Qin Feng knew that the other party was testing whether he had a master and whether he had given the wrong gift.

Qin Feng hurriedly feigned nonchalance and said, "I'm sorry, my master has said it many times, but I didn't take it to heart! I'm really sorry."

The old man muttered, "Your master is wise! You should listen to him more. Only by listening to your master can a young person pave a wider path for themselves!"

Qin Feng nodded, "Yes, senior is right, I have learned my lesson! I will definitely listen to my master. Senior, shall I see you off? Or would you like to go to the hospital for a check-up?"

"No need to see me off!" the old man said. "I'm not as weak as you think. It was just a fall. Go on your way!"

The old man walked away and disappeared from Qin Feng's sight.

Qin Feng took out a "gift" from the hood of his down jacket: a letter in a red envelope with gold lettering and dragon and phoenix designs, with only a large "壹" (one) on top!

What do you mean?

Are there two, three, and four after one?

Qin Feng didn't quite understand what this thing was for, so he simply put it in his pocket for now and would open it up to see what it was for when he got to Xianyang and found Gai Nie!

The most urgent thing now is to go upstairs and buy some pills and armor to prepare for my upcoming trip to Xianyang!
