Chapter 204: Jin Yichen Must Call Me Uncle Master
Early the next morning, Qin Ziling went to Xisheng Mountain first.
Qin Ziling had just arrived at the cliff of Xisheng Mountain when he saw Xiao Qing and Xia Yan standing gracefully at the foot of the cliff.
Xiao Qing was dressed in white, with long flying hair, deep eyes, fair bones and icy skin, and she looked cold and elegant, like a fairy walking out of the Moon Palace.
Xia Yan has a different style. She wears a light yellow gauze skirt that outlines her voluptuous figure, crescent-shaped eyebrows, and an oval face, giving people an indescribable feeling of gentleness and charm.
However, when Xiao Qing saw Qin Ziling, her eyes suddenly turned into crescents and shallow dimples appeared on her cheeks. That cold and elegant look disappeared in an instant, and she turned into a beautiful fairy with indescribable gentleness.
"Brother!" Xiao Qing lightly tapped the ground with her toes, then easily flew over the mountain stream in front of her and landed in front of Qin Ziling.
"Have you succeeded in bone refining?" Qin Ziling showed a look of surprise.
"Do you want to fight?" Xiao Qing said with a smug look on his face.
"Okay!" Qin Ziling stepped back several meters.
"Look at my Green Dragon Claw!" Xiao Qing shouted softly upon seeing this, and stretched out all five fingers to grab Qin Ziling through the air.
Suddenly, powerful force gushed out from the palm of the claw, and an imaginary green dragon claw as big as a cattail leaf fan appeared in the air.
The phantom of the green dragon claw has green scales on it, flashing cold light under the morning sun, making it look real.
Seeing this, Qin Ziling's face showed a slightly solemn look. He raised his palm knife and slashed at the Green Dragon Claw phantom through the air.
"Bang!" A sound was heard.
Qin Ziling's body shook slightly, but soon stabilized. His brows wrinkled slightly at first, but soon relaxed and revealed a hint of joy.
Xiao Qing took a step back before steadying herself. As she stepped back, her brows slightly furrowed, and she seemed a little uncomfortable.
Just this simple move has shown that even though Xiao Qing has entered the Bone Refining Realm, in terms of strength, she is still inferior to Qin Ziling who is in the Energy Transformation Realm.
"Good! Not only has your strength increased several times now, but your bone strength is also extremely hard and sharp. It is almost as strong as Long Xiaotian's. Even I have to put in some effort to dissolve it." Qin Ziling said happily.
"Brother, you actually used several kinds of strength at the same time, which is really difficult to resolve." Xiao Qing's dark brows quickly relaxed, and then she looked at Qin Ziling with surprise and admiration.
"That's because you have condensed your strength based on the iron skin of your limbs and main torso, and now you are in the bone refining stage. If I only had one kind of strength, even if my foundation is more solid than yours, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to withstand your strength!" Qin Ziling said.
"But if big brother does this, his cultivation progress will definitely be greatly slowed down, and I am determined to make progress. Once I become a great martial artist in the late stage of bone refining, with my foundation, big brother will probably be completely suppressed by me in terms of strength before he breaks through to become a great martial artist!" Xiao Qing said.
"Hehe, isn't that perfect? With such a powerful girl, who dares to bully me in the future? Whoever dares to bully me, I will let you beat him up!" Qin Ziling said with a smile.
"Puchi!" Xiao Qing couldn't help laughing when she heard that. She rolled her beautiful eyes at Qin Ziling and said angrily, "Who is as good as you in being a big brother?"
"Do you think other men don't want it? They just aren't as lucky as me to find such a great girl!" Qin Ziling said with a smile.
"Brother is becoming more and more frivolous." Xiao Qing rolled her eyes at Qin Ziling again and said.
"Really? Xia Yan, please judge for yourself. Am I wrong?" Qin Ziling asked Xia Yan who was standing beside him in an "unconvinced" manner.
Xia Yan smiled and did not answer Qin Ziling's question. Instead, she asked, "Master Qin, you just said that Miss is not much inferior to Long Xiaotian. Does that mean that Miss's current strength is almost the same as that of a great martial artist in the late stage of bone refining?"
"She dispersed her strength twice, and condensed it twice, and the strength she condensed was based on the iron skin of her limbs and main body. I'm afraid Xiao Qing is the only one in the whole Great Qi Kingdom who has this method of laying the foundation. Moreover, the secret medicine she used to refine her bones was the blood and flesh of Chi. So once she succeeds in refining her bones, her strength will naturally not be measured by that of an ordinary great martial artist in the early stage of refining bones.
Long Xiaotian is just an ordinary great martial artist in the late stage of bone refining, and he is already old. His strength should be considered the most ordinary among the great martial artists in the late stage of bone refining. With Xiao Qing's current strength, it is unlikely for him to defeat him by leaping two small realms, but it is definitely no problem to compete with him. "Qin Ziling thought for a while and replied.
"That is to say, if you meet a great martial artist in the middle stage of bone refining, you may be able to completely defeat him or even kill him." Xia Yan asked in surprise and excitement.
"That's true in theory, but there's no guarantee that others have a particularly solid foundation or have hidden means, so we still have to be cautious and careful, and never be arrogant. If Long Xiaotian wasn't so confident and arrogant, thinking that he could kill me easily, I would not be able to kill him in return." Qin Ziling said seriously.
"Don't worry, brother. I understand." Xiao Qing said.
"Yes." Qin Ziling nodded and said, "Since you have successfully refined your bones, it is time to return to the Xiao family."
"It's time to go back to the Xiao family." Xiao Qing looked back at the cave on the cliff, a hint of reluctance flashed in his eyes.
"Before you return to the Xiao family, there is something we need to plan carefully." Qin Ziling said.
Then, Qin Ziling recounted what happened last night and how the Pang family, Youhu Hall, and Senluo Gang colluded and conspired to plot against the Xiao family.
"Fortunately, my brother discovered them in time, otherwise if they really succeeded, the Xiao family would be in danger." Xiao Qing said after hearing this.
"Even if I didn't break in in time, there are now two Huajin martial artists in Shuiyue Villa, plus Shao E, there are three. With their strength now, it is impossible for them to break into Shuiyue Villa, and they will be left in Shuiyue Villa instead.
But if so, the noise would be too loud, not only would the strength of Shuiyue Villa be exposed early, but many subsequent plans would not be able to proceed. Now they are still greedy and want to rob Shuiyue Villa. I just happened to run into them, which makes it convenient for us to take advantage of the situation to overthrow Pang Qiwei and uproot the power of the Pang and Lin families without attracting the attention and suspicion of the outside world. "Qin Ziling said.
"Brother, are you planning to take this opportunity to expose the fact that the Pang family is colluding with gangs, harming the people, and colluding with the Netherworld Cult?" Xiao Qing said thoughtfully.
"That's right, that way we can bring down Ponchovich with good reason." Qin Ziling nodded.
"That might be difficult. Pang Zhiyuan, Pang Qiwei's uncle, is the governor of Xiyun Prefecture, in charge of the army of the prefecture, and has tremendous power. It is said that in the recent political struggle in the prefecture, even the governor was suppressed by him.
As long as Pang Qiwei denies it, with Pang Zhiyuan's power, he can completely suppress it, or even turn the tables and say that our Xiao family framed them." Xiao Qing shook his head.
"No matter how powerful Pang Zhiyuan is, he is still far from being able to cover the sky with one hand in Xiyun Province, otherwise Pang Qiwei would not have to go to so much trouble to plot against your Xiao and Lu families. And don't forget that there is a force in the government of the Great Qi State that is the most transcendent, independent and special." Qin Ziling said.
"Si Tian Jian!" Xiao Qing blurted out, and then quickly shook his head again and said, "The people in Si Tian Jian are from the Qi Refining Sect, and they are only responsible to the emperor. We can't control them! Moreover, the Pang family is the only one in Fangqiao City, and they are backed by the Pang family in the state capital. As the new Guan Gou of Guan Gou Mansion, Jin Yichen will never help us deal with Pang Qiwei unless he is crazy.
Because of this kind of thing, if Pang Qiwei is not brought down, I am afraid that Jin Yichen will have a hard time in Fangqiao City. After all, although Guan Goufu has a high status, the prefect is still the most powerful in Fangqiao County. And even if he is brought down, after the storm has passed, the Pang family in the state capital will definitely find an opportunity to retaliate. "
"What if Jin Yichen is one of ours?" Qin Ziling said lightly with an unfathomable smile on his face.
"Jin Yichen is our man? How is this possible?" Xiao Qing asked in surprise.
"Don't forget that we have a life-and-death friendship with the leader of the Golden Sword Sect, Feng Ziluo, and Jin Yichen just happens to be a disciple of the Golden Sword Sect. A few days ago, I went to Golden Sword Mountain and deepened my brotherly relationship with Leader Feng. Then I got the position of guest elder of the Golden Sword Sect. And in terms of seniority, Jin Yichen has to call me uncle-master." Qin Ziling said with a smile.
"This..." Even though Xiao Qing is now a great martial artist, he was stunned with shock when he heard this. He looked at Qin Ziling for a long time and didn't know what to say.
After a long while, Xiao Qing said with admiration, "Big brother is really amazing! After this trip, he actually became a guest elder of the Golden Sword Sect and became Guan Gou's uncle."
"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it!" Qin Ziling hurriedly bowed his hands exaggeratedly and said modestly.
Seeing this, Xiao Qing smiled, then rolled her eyes at Qin Ziling and said seriously, "With the cooperation of Guan Goufu, we can make this evidence into solid evidence."
"It's not enough to make a concrete proof. Someone has to take over the land left by Pang Qiwei. We can't let others take advantage of it. Although Fangqiao County is a poor and remote place, it has its advantages.
Firstly, no one else will pay attention to this place, which makes it convenient for us to develop our strength secretly; secondly, this kind of place is not the focus of competition among various forces. As long as it is managed well and is easy to obtain, it will be completely in our hands.
As for whether it is poor or not, it actually depends on how people manage it. No matter how good the family assets are, if they don't know how to manage them well, they will be squandered. However, if the family assets are not so good, as long as they work hard, they can also develop.
This Fangqiao County is where we were born, so we must control it in our hands and develop it well. In this way, no matter how chaotic the world is in the future, we will have a place to retreat and settle down. "Qin Ziling said.
"It seems that big brother wants me to take over Fangliao County?" Xiao Qing looked at Qin Ziling with an indescribably subtle expression.
Last year, when they were hunting Xuanhan Iron Chicken in a valley outside the Duanwuyang Mountains in Gaitong County, Qin Ziling once said that he would help her become the county magistrate. At that time, Xiao Qing just took it as a joke.
But now, this joke is becoming reality.
