Chapter 309 Sutra Library
Soon, Qin Ziling and Qin Zirong arrived at the wide square in front of the meeting hall.
"Zi Ling, I heard that you are practicing the Cold Iron Palm, so I guess you should be good at using a knife. If you want to use a knife, just use it. I don't mind." The two stood opposite each other, and Qin Zirong still said with a smile.
"Thank you, elder. It's just a sparring match. You can use a palm knife." Qin Ziling bowed slightly.
"Okay then, you make the first move." Qin Zirong said.
Qin Ziling bowed slightly, then raised his palm knife and rushed towards Qin Zirong.
Soon the two men started fighting in the square.
Qin Ziling only used the cold iron force, and also restrained a large part of his qi and blood and the cold iron force. He was defeated after "persisting" for a few rounds. His performance was considered average.
In this way, Qin Ziling saved the face of Qin Zaixin, the head of the family. Otherwise, if his performance was too bad, Qin Zaixin would naturally lose face.
However, because he was not good enough, Qin Ziling was eventually classified as a key student.
Children of key students live in the "Weiwu Courtyard".
The number of houses in "Weiwuyuan" is much smaller than that in "Yingwuyuan", only about thirty.
Each one covers an area of nearly ten acres, with pavilions, towers, rockery, flowing water, and a martial arts training ground. It is obviously much more upscale than Qin Xingbao's residence.
However, Qin Ziling didn't care about these.
What he really cared about was the badge that allowed him to enter and exit the Qin Mansion's Sutra Library.
Therefore, after getting the tag of a key disciple, Qin Ziling immediately asked his servants to take him to the Sutra Library.
The Sutra Repository is a magnificent and simple five-story building.
The exercises for the internal organ refining realm are placed on the top floor of the Sutra Repository.
Qin Ziling arrived at the Sutra Repository and went straight to the top floor.
At the entrance to the top floor, sat an old man in blue clothes with a childlike face, white hair and an elegant temperament.
"Hey, which branch or family are you from? I don't think I've seen you before!" The elegant old man was a little surprised to see Qin Ziling climb up to the top floor at such a young age.
Qin Ziling was secretly surprised when he looked at the old man in green.
He thought that the elders he met in the conference room today were almost the strongest members of the Qin family. Now he realized that he had underestimated the Qin family with a long heritage.
The old man sitting in the Sutra Repository in front of him was actually also a mid-level master, but he was very old and his energy and blood were badly weakened, so he was arranged to "retire" here.
"Hello, elder Hui. I just came from Xiyunzhou." Qin Ziling replied, and then gave a brief account of his origins.
"So you are from Uncle Jianming's branch. Your great-grandfather and I are very close blood relatives. But he didn't have much talent for martial arts. When he left home, I was just a child. There was no news from him afterwards. I didn't expect that his branch would produce such an outstanding descendant like you. Not bad, not bad." The elegant old man stroked his beard and said, his eyes looking at Qin Ziling were obviously much more friendly.
"It turns out to be my great-uncle!" Upon hearing this, Qin Ziling hurriedly greeted the elegant old man again.
"Are you ready to start refining your internal organs?" asked the elegant old man.
"Not yet, but I want to know about it in advance." Qin Ziling replied truthfully.
"It's good to know in advance. Bring your sign here." The elegant old man nodded.
The core and key disciples can enter the top floor with badges. Other disciples or family guards need to have the late bone refining level of cultivation to enter here, and they also need to exchange merits for it. It does not mean that one can enter and read the techniques of the organ refining realm once they have reached a certain level of cultivation.
" Yes." Qin Ziling held up the sign with both hands.
The elegant old man took the sign, looked through it, and asked, "What kind of skills are you learning?"
"Cold Iron Palm." Qin Ziling replied.
"The Cold Iron Palm is in Book Pavilion No. 9. You can go and read it yourself. You can copy the skills, but you cannot take them away." The elegant old man said as he handed Qin Ziling's sign back.
"Great uncle, may I ask if our Qin family has the internal organ-refining technique of Dielang Jin?" Qin Ziling took back the sign and asked respectfully.
"Dielang Jin?" The elegant old man looked up at Qin Ziling with some surprise, then nodded and said, "Yes."
Qin Ziling was overjoyed , and asked quickly, "Excuse me, great uncle, can I read both of my techniques?"
The elegant old man's eyes suddenly became sharp when he heard this, and a powerful aura instantly pressed towards Qin Ziling, and he said in a deep voice: "Each person can only read one kind of martial arts. If you want to read the second kind of martial arts, you must exchange it with merit points. But I warn you, don't have any other thoughts, otherwise I will punish you according to the family law."
"Gold gives birth to water. After I use the cold iron power to refine my lungs, the next step must be to refine my kidneys. If I can know the water-based internal organ refining techniques and learn some tricks from them, I will definitely be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort. There is no need to think about anything else." Qin Ziling replied calmly.
Seeing Qin Ziling's calm expression, not frightened by his sharp gaze and momentum, and his explanation was reasonable, the elegant old man couldn't help but relax, touched his chin and said: "Well, it's a good idea, no wonder you have such a high level of cultivation at such a young age. However, this method has been tried by others, but few have succeeded, because the strength you cultivate has already determined the attributes, and you can't produce strength of other attributes out of thin air.
Therefore, it is easiest to become a junior master of martial arts, because one can choose the organs that are most suitable for one's own skills. But after refining the first organ, the next step will be very difficult, and the longer it is delayed and the older one gets, the more difficult it will be.
Of course, Great Uncle is not denying your approach in this regard. Breakthroughs in martial arts often do require sudden inspiration, but they also require focus, determination to forge ahead, and not being distracted by other things.
Since this method has been proven to be of little use by predecessors, you don’t need to waste time on it. Instead, you should focus on refining your bones, refine them to perfection as quickly as possible, and then start refining your organs as soon as possible.”
Qin Ziling's expression became a little subtle after hearing this. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Junior still wants to give it a try."
The elegant old man's face darkened slightly when he saw that Qin Ziling didn't listen to his kind reminder.
"My great uncle also said that in martial arts, one must be focused and forge ahead, and not be swayed by other things. As for my martial arts, I want to learn from many others, integrate them, and believe that one can learn from others. If my great uncle's words shake my mind, I will inevitably have doubts about myself in the future and will no longer be able to remain steadfast. So please don't be offended, great uncle." Qin Ziling continued to speak slowly, as if he did not notice the change in the elegant old man's expression.
The elegant old man's slightly gloomy expression gradually changed, and the way he looked at Qin Ziling also began to change.
"You are a really perverse person, kid. I don't care how many techniques you want to read, but the family rules cannot be broken. If you want to read the second technique, you have to exchange it for merit points." The elegant old man cursed with a smile and said.
"Excuse me, great uncle, how many merit points are needed to read the second technique?" Qin Ziling asked immediately after seeing that the elegant old man was convinced by his words.
"One hundred points! Hehe, if you want to accumulate one hundred points of merit, it will take a long time. Boy, don't give up halfway!" The elegant old man said the last sentence and deliberately emphasized his tone. Obviously, although he accepted Qin Ziling's words, he still had some opinions about his rejection of his proposal.
"Does it mean one hundred points of merit for every additional skill? And are there any skills at the Qi Refining and Law Yuan realm? Do they also mean one hundred points of merit?" Qin Ziling asked boldly when he saw that the elegant old man was very open-minded.
He is now only relying on the Three-in-One, and even though he is still a long way from being a grandmaster, he is already able to kill Qingxu, an intermediate Qi-refining master who has begun to comprehend the Five Elements of Thunder Magic. If he can release the Golden Corpse and the Yinhun Demon, he should be able to defeat the grandmaster.
So even though he didn't know how difficult it would be to earn 100 merit points, Qin Ziling was not worried at all.
"Yes, as long as you have enough merit points, you can exchange it for anything you want!" The elegant old man's beard began to tremble when he heard it.
"Ahem, great uncle, I have one last question for you." Qin Ziling saw that the elegant old man's beard began to tremble, and after hesitating for a moment, he still opened his mouth to ask.
