Chapter 247 Two Years Later
Feeling the changes in his soul, Qin Ziling's face showed a look of surprise as he felt that he was one step closer to the late stage .
But Qin Ziling quickly put away his surprise and smiled.
"My body is still the body of a mortal, and the five elements of true power I have cultivated are also acquired power. Even if I can interpret and give birth to the two forces of yin and yang, life and death, I am just copying, not truly interpreting the innate yin and yang. I am still a long way from that step. And if I really reach that step, I am afraid I have already become an immortal.
However, the changes in the Five Elements True Power cultivation this time, like the changes in the Five Elements Power cultivation, have allowed me to further glimpse a glimpse of the mystery of the origin of the universe, which will surely be of great benefit to my future cultivation. Now there is no need to delve into it further, let's just look at the power of Qi Refining. "
Thinking in his mind, Qin Ziling pointed at a stone not far away.
A beam of golden sword energy shot out from his fingers.
The golden sword energy was two meters long, extremely condensed, and extremely sharp, as if it could break through and penetrate everything.
"Boom!" The golden sword energy penetrated into the stone twenty meters away, and then twisted it violently inside. The stone suddenly exploded and broke into pieces.
"This!" Qin Ziling looked at the scene in front of him with an expression of disbelief.
Previously, the number of golden snake phantoms in his dantian had reached one hundred and fifty, and the sword energy he shot out was definitely not as powerful as this.
But now there are only one hundred and eight golden snake phantoms in his dantian, and the power of the sword energy is several times greater than before.
Qin Ziling then used the other four types of true power in succession, and the situation was the same.
Previously, the number of black snake phantoms of Qin Ziling's water-based true energy reached as many as two hundred and seventy, and its power was in no way inferior to that of a great Qi-refining master in the early stage of true essence.
But Qin Ziling used it again just now, and now the power of the 108 black snake phantoms is much greater than that of the 270.
“It turns out that after a balance is formed, any burst of true energy can borrow the power of the other four true energy, which is equivalent to five forces condensing into one.
Although my current realm has just reached the late stage of true power, in fact, when I exert any type of true power, the power that bursts out has reached the power of about five hundred and forty phantoms.
If I can improve my five-element cultivation further, I will probably be able to easily defeat a great Qi-refining master in the middle stage of True Essence, and I may even be able to defeat a great Qi-refining master in the late stage of True Essence. I just don’t know what the limit of the number of phantoms that my five-element cultivation can condense is after this change.”
Qin Ziling looked at the messy scene around the pavilion, his heart full of anticipation.
…
Time flies.
Summer goes and autumn comes, autumn goes and winter comes.
In a blink of an eye, it is winter again and the year is coming to an end.
At this time, it had been exactly two years since Qin Ziling returned to Fangqiao County from the competition.
In the past two years, Fangliao County has undergone tremendous changes in the eyes of outsiders.
But they don’t know that the biggest change in Fangliao County is the power behind it.
Of course, compared to the entire Xiyun Province, Fangliao County is just a small place with poor mountains and bad water. No matter how much it changes, the attention it attracts is still very limited.
During these two years, what people really paid attention to was what happened in several large counties such as Zhoucheng and Qinghe County.
The first major event happened in the provincial capital. The governor Pang Zhiyuan broke through and became a martial arts master a year ago, which caused a sensation in the entire Xiyun Province and also changed the power structure of Xiyun Province, making the power of the governor's office increasingly weak.
The second major event was about the Pang family in Guanzhou City. Pang Qiyun, the youngest son of the governor, was only 31 years old, but he defeated the joint attack of three great martial artists in the late bone refining stage by himself. He was hailed as the number one rising star in the martial arts world of Xiyunzhou and the youngest quasi-grandmaster in Xiyunzhou.
This incident further boosted the prestige of the Pang family, making the Pang family's power in Xiyun Province at its peak and almost unstoppable.
The third thing is the change in strength of the Hou family and the Cui family in Qinghe County.
Since Hou Yuehong and his allies were killed one after another, not only has the Hou family's strength been greatly reduced, but there have also been major power struggles and serious internal friction within the family, causing its strength to plummet.
The Cui family, which once ranked last among the four major families in Qinghe County, has begun to prosper in the past two years. Not only has its external ally Xiao Qing emerged as a rising star and taken control of the increasingly prosperous Fangliao County, but also the family head, Cui Shanhe, who is only 37 years old, broke through again a few days ago and became a great martial artist in the late stage of bone refining.
Although Cui Shanhe could not compare with Pang Qiyun of the state capital in terms of age or reputation, he became a great bone refining martial artist at the age of 37. Moreover, the Cui family has always been famous in Xiyunzhou for its solid foundation and powerful strength. Therefore, Cui Shanhe is also favored by some people, who think he is one of the young generation in Xiyunzhou who is expected to become a martial arts master.
…
On this day, in the hall of the County Magistrate's Mansion.
Xiao Qing and an imposing man sat on either side of a square table.
Behind Xiao Qing stood a man with a shallow scar on his face and two small mustaches on his upper lip.
Behind the imposing man stood an old man in black.
"No wonder the outside world has rumored that Lord Xiao is an extraordinary warrior and a superb marksman. Even my cousin was assassinated by Lord Xiao with one shot. Seeing him today, it is indeed true that his reputation is well-deserved. His blood and energy are as condensed as mercury and silver, and as majestic as a mountain. What's more precious is his elegant temperament and beautiful appearance." The imposing man picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, then put it down gently and said indifferently.
This man was none other than Pang Zhiyuan's youngest son, Pang Qiyun, who was known as the youngest quasi-grandmaster of martial arts in Xiyun Prefecture.
"Thank you for your compliment, Commander." Xiao Qing replied calmly.
"Well, since I'm here today, I'll just tell you something directly." Pang Qiyun said.
"Please speak, Commander." Xiao Qing said calmly.
"You should know that although Pang Qiwei is not an outstanding figure in my Pang family, he is still a member of my Pang family and has some ability in governing the country. If you kill him, you should know that this matter cannot be let go." Pang Qiyun said lightly, with an invisible murderous majesty emanating from his body.
"What do you mean, sir? Pang Qiwei is the county magistrate, but he harbors bandits and colludes with people from the Netherworld Cult. The evidence is conclusive. I kill him to enforce the law for the court and to uphold justice." Xiao Qing's face turned cold.
"We are all smart people. You don't have to preach to me about these big principles. I will give you two choices now. First, marry into the Pang family. I can give you the status of a co-wife. This should not be considered an insult to your status, and this matter will be over. Second, this time the Biyun Sect will join forces with the government to send troops to attack the lair of the old demon Hatetian. You will fight with me." Pang Qiyun said lightly, but his aura became more majestic and domineering.
