Chapter 195 Leaving
"We do have Huayuan Pills, but the mid-grade and above ones have all been used up. Gengjin is the element of killing and is the sharpest. Like the fire element, it is the most difficult to condense among the five elements. The success rate of condensing with low-grade Huayuan Pills is very low. Unfortunately, Fang Ruibo and the other three were all arrogant when they were young, and were reluctant to condense their true energy, so it became even more difficult to condense it later.
Originally, this was nothing. At that time, I was at the peak of my career and was expected to reach the Fa Yuan realm. I didn't have to worry about not being able to get a mid-grade or even high-grade Hua Yuan Dan in the future. But who could have expected that 21 years ago, Zi Luo and I would both be seriously injured, and two Zhen Yuan realm elders would be killed. The situation of the Golden Sword Sect suddenly became difficult, and the matter of Hua Yuan Dan was naturally delayed.
Now, except for Pan Bo who has just passed the age of 40, Fang Ruibo and the other two are all over the age of 60. Unless they can find a top-grade Yuan Dan, they will never be able to condense their true essence and become a great Qi Refiner in this life. Speaking of which, Jin Yichen went to work at the Sitianjian in order to seek a Yuan Dan. Unfortunately, the Jinjian Sect has been defeated now, and he has not found any good position. He was squeezed out to the poor and small county of Fangqiao County.
Fortunately, at the beginning of last year, his luck turned. The Guan Gou of Fangqiao County was killed. He teamed up with the local government to solve the case and made meritorious contributions, and was promoted to Guan Gou. Although the Guan Gou of Fangqiao County has never been taken seriously, at least there is some hope. "Jian Bailou said.
"Is there an age limit for refining true essence?" Qin Ziling asked.
"The meridians and dantian are inside the human body, so they are naturally subject to the age limit of the body. After the age of sixty, there is generally no hope for true essence, and after the age of a hundred, there is no hope for legal essence." Jian Bailou replied.
"What are the requirements to enter the Fa Yuan realm? Teacher, do you have hope?" Qin Ziling asked with a serious look.
In Xiyunzhou, a master at the Fayuan realm is the guarantee for a sect to remain standing.
Whether Elder Fang and others can become great Qi Refiners at the True Yuan realm will have limited impact and help on Qin Ziling now.
But once Jian Bailou becomes a great master of Qi Refining, the influence and help will be enormous.
“If it were twenty-one years ago, I would still have hope, but now it’s impossible.” Jian Bailou shook his head.
"Why? Teacher, aren't you yet a hundred years old? And you also said that once the mother-child magic seal is lifted, your injuries can be healed even without the help of the Chi meat. And with the Chi meat, can you extend your life?" Qin Ziling asked.
"Although my master is not yet a hundred years old, he is already ninety-five. In five years, it is just a foolish dream to hunt down a fifth-grade exotic beast, seize its blood essence, and find a golden evil vein. Not to mention that the success rate of forging magic essence is very low. It is rare for one out of ten people to succeed. With my master's talent, twenty-one years ago, I was still very confident that I could have the blood essence of a fifth-grade exotic beast and the golden evil vein. But now, it's too late!" Jian Bailou said.
"A fifth-grade exotic beast? A golden evil vein?" Qin Ziling frowned slightly.
"In fact, our Jinjian Mountain originally had a Golden Evil Ground Vein, but unfortunately, the Jinjian Sect experienced a disaster more than a hundred years ago, and the Golden Evil Ground Vein was destroyed. Twenty-one years ago, we were lucky enough to find a small Golden Evil Ground Vein in a remote mountain . But somehow the news leaked out and was known by the people of the Biyun Sect, who insisted that the mountain was theirs.
The Golden Evil Ground Vein involved Master's forging of the Dharma Yuan, so Master naturally refused. Later, after mediation by the Master of Xuanwu Valley, the Judge of the Judge's Office of Xiyun Prefecture and other masters, Master and Taoist Qingsong had a duel to resolve the dispute. After all, Master was not a master of the Dharma Yuan realm, and in the end, his true essence was too much, and he was defeated by Taoist Qingsong.
Later on the way back, we were attacked by the Netherworld Cult. Master was too exhausted in the battle with Qingsong, so he was no match for the Netherworld Cult's Hate Heaven Hall Master, and was severely injured by him. Two uncles and elders were killed on the spot, and I was seriously injured. If not for this, the Golden Sword Cult would not have fallen into such a state, and Master would not have missed the best opportunity to forge the Dharma Yuan. "Feng Ziluo took over and said.
“I see.” Qin Ziling finally understood the details of the cause of the second serious loss of the Golden Sword Sect twenty-one years ago. His face darkened and he said, “First, the teacher fought with Qingsong and wasted too much energy. Then, the Netherworld Sect’s Xiyunzhou Palace Master led his masters to attack and kill. It was as if both parties had already agreed on this. It seems that this matter is not simple!”
"There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. The Biyun Sect certainly does not want to see the Golden Sword Sect rise again. Not only the Biyun Sect, but also the Xuanwu Valley, the Judge's Mansion and other forces do not want to see the Golden Sword Sect rise. It's just that we really didn't think at the time that they would secretly communicate with the Demon Sect in order to suppress the Golden Sword Sect.
Later, even though we knew that this matter was not simple, our master and I were seriously injured, our two uncles were killed, and the strength of the Golden Sword Sect was greatly damaged. Could we still investigate and pursue the matter? We could only regard it as just a coincidence!" Feng Ziluo said.
"That's true!" Qin Ziling nodded with a serious face, and said: "Since you are not as strong as others, you should hide your head first. It would be best if you pretend that your injuries have not healed even if your teacher and senior brother are fully recovered later."
"Is it necessary? Once Master's injuries are healed, even if..." Feng Ziluo frowned slightly.
"As long as the teacher cannot become a master, the Golden Sword Sect will ultimately be in a defensive position. In this case, what's the point of standing out? It will only look a little more glamorous on the surface. It's better to remain dormant and show weakness to the enemy." Qin Ziling said.
"Zi Ling is right. Zi Luo, your problem is that you are too aggressive. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been targeted by the Netherworld Sect, causing you to be seriously injured and your cultivation to stagnate for many years. In fact, isn't it the same for me? You are too aggressive! Every failure makes you wiser. It's time to be more restrained. As for the master, I don't want to be that master anymore. I just hope to help you while I'm still alive..." Jian Bailou said.
"There is always a way out. Teacher, you are not even a hundred years old yet, so how can you give up the idea of making progress? Even if you are a hundred years old, nothing is absolute. It was naturally difficult for you to kill the fifth-grade beast alone before, but as long as you give me a few years, you and I will definitely have a chance to kill it together.
As for the Golden Evil Ground Vein, next, Senior Brother, send more people to Qinghe County to search, and I will try to take over Fangliao County as soon as possible. Although Fangliao County is a place with poor mountains and bad water, it is still vast, and there is also the Wuyang Mountains passing through. As long as Fangliao County is completely under control, there is still a good hope of finding the Golden Evil Ground Vein by digging three feet into the ground. The key is that the sword in the teacher's heart cannot lose its sharpness!" Qin Ziling interrupted.
"Haha! Good! Good! Your master is nearly a hundred years old, and I practice swordsmanship, but I still don't see things as clearly as you do! Just for what you said, your master will fight against the heavens again no matter what!"
Jian Bailou's expression gradually became solemn when he heard that, and his aura became more and more powerful, as if a sharp sword was slowly being drawn out. Then suddenly, he laughed out loud, his hair and beard fluttering, looking indescribably unruly and free and easy!
…
Three days later, Qin Ziling left Jinjian Mountain on a yellow horse.
Before leaving, Jian Bailou and Feng Ziluo had recovered from their injuries, while the "youngest" elder Pan Bo received a Yuanhua Pill and was in seclusion to sprint to the Zhenyuan realm.
Originally, Feng Ziluo wanted to give Qin Ziling a captive golden-crowned crane as a mount, but Qin Ziling refused.
Not to mention that all major forces in Xiyun Province knew that the Golden Crowned Crane was an exotic bird raised by the Golden Sword Sect. Once he rode a Golden Crowned Crane, it would be hard not to guess his relationship with the Golden Sword Sect. On the other hand, flying in the sky on a Golden Crowned Crane was too high-profile and did not suit Qin Ziling's low-key personality.
A lesson for you!
Jian Bailou was once a powerful man whose strength was close to that of a master, but in the end he was schemed against by others and suffered from a serious illness for more than twenty years.
Although he is very strong now, and is not much inferior to Jian Bailou who is now seriously injured, that refers to his overall strength.
If he were really targeted by a master-level figure, his fate would most likely be even more tragic than Jian Bailou's!
Therefore, Qin Ziling secretly decided that unless he really had the strength to compete with the Grandmaster, or Jian Bailou became a Grandmaster of Qi Refining, he would continue to hide, stay behind the scenes to plot against people, and make a fortune in silence.
Of course, as he is a quasi-grandmaster after all, Qin Ziling will definitely not live in such a cowardly way as before.
He will show his face when it is necessary, but he will never be as ostentatious as Feng Ziluo was in the past!
Riding on the yellow horse and galloping on the official road, Qin Ziling thought of the gains from this trip, and he was so proud of himself that he galloped forward!
In Fangqiao City, there is the Xiao family represented by Xiao Qing, there is the Shuiyue Villa force represented by Zuo Le, and the Qin family of Anhe Village is actually also a force. Now in Qinghe County, there is an additional force with a strength close to that of an entire sect headed by a sect master.
These are now the forces that Qin Ziling secretly controls!
Except that the power controlled in secret suddenly increased dramatically.
This time, Qin Ziling killed three underworld messengers and made a lot of money.
An Tian devoured three spiritual demons in succession, and his strength was already comparable to that of a great martial artist in the late bone refining stage or a great Qi refining master in the late true essence stage.
Among the corpse-raising rings, the changes in the three silver corpses were what surprised and unexpected Qin Ziling the most.
The effect of the essence and blood of the three Hades messengers in the late True Yuan stage on the three-headed silver corpse was stronger than Long Xiaotian's essence and blood, or even the blood of the Chi.
The blood essence of three underworld messengers with miraculous effects, plus twelve Yin Sha beads.
Originally, Qin Ziling thought that the three-headed silver corpse would need to stay in the intermediate silver corpse realm for a relatively long time.
As a result, the cultivation of the three silver corpses has been soaring in the past few days.
The four of them became high-level silver corpses in one fell swoop, and Ape Da and Ape Er were not far behind.
Once Ape Da and Ape Er also become high-level silver corpses, together with Si Shou and An Tian, Qin Ziling will actually be equivalent to having four great martial artists in the late bone refining stage or four great Qi refining masters in the late true essence stage as personal bodyguards.
…
The sun is shining brightly.
On the official road from Fangliao County to Qinghe County, a team of horse-drawn carriages were on the road, raising a cloud of dust.
"What horrible weather! It's not even May yet and it's already so hot! There's a small forest ahead. Why don't you take a rest there, Uncle San?" A young man riding a clouded leopard horse, dressed in white, with a sword hanging around his waist, who looked like a rich young man, drove his horse forward and caught up with a middle-aged man in brocade clothes who was riding a black horse and walking in front of the convoy, and said.
The middle-aged man in brocade clothes was none other than the third son of the Lu family, Lu Jiancang, the father of Lu Taiqiang.
"In another half an hour we will reach the border of Qinghe County. Qinghe County is relatively stable. Why don't we hurry on and then take a rest?" Without waiting for Lu Jiancang to answer, Lu Taiqiang, who was riding a black horse side by side with Lu Jiancang, said with a frown slightly.
Lu Taiqiang was wearing a tight blue suit, with a ghost-head sword stuck in his back. He had a tough aura and a dusty face. He looked less like a playboy and more steady than before.
