Volume 2: The Demonic World Chapter 569: Raising an Elephant
Lin Qianxing opened his mouth and breathed, clearly feeling the special energy in the air around him.
It can be easily absorbed into the body as energy for its own activities and promote its own evolution.
Apart from this, it no longer has any other functions.
Even so, the existence of spiritual energy is extremely terrifying.
Normal evolution can take millions of years or even longer.
But with the blessing of spiritual energy, changes will occur in decades or even hundreds of years.
And it is not limited to living things, even dead things can be affected.
The only problem is that, relatively speaking, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is still relatively thin.
A portion of air may contain less than one thousandth of the compound.
This means that its impact will not be too great in the short term.
However, as time goes by, countless rare treasures are destined to appear in this world.
All the pores and acupoints on Lin Qianxing's body were opened under his control, and he quickly inhaled and exhaled air to absorb a large amount of spiritual energy.
In this way, even if the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is thin, he can still practice quickly.
Lin Qianxing estimated that with the help of these spiritual energies, he would be able to reach the limit of his current internal martial arts in five years at most.
This efficiency can be said to be very high.
Although the internal breathing martial arts was created by Lin Qianxing himself.
But in order to reduce the consumption of purple energy, he tried to stick to reality as much as possible.
Therefore, practicing is like building a high-rise building, it becomes more difficult as time goes by.
After all, it was very counterintuitive to hide such a terrifying power in such a mortal body, so he had to make some compromises in some places.
After adding spiritual energy, Lin Qianxing still retained a trace of purple energy.
But he didn't use it.
If he encounters a situation like You Genming again, he may have to rely on purple energy to fulfill the other party's request.
So at least have to keep some backup.
Time passes.
With the emergence of spiritual energy, apart from Lin Qianxing who felt the change, no one else in the world actually felt much.
The detonators of the Yu State were soon put into mass production and used to arm the army.
This changed the situation of the war for a time.
However, the strengthening of internal martial arts has given more possibilities to some gifted individuals.
Decapitation tactics became common.
You can win on the front battlefield, but as long as the enemy sneaks into your camp and kills the army leader who gives orders, everything will be meaningless.
They can also sneak in and burn your food supplies and assassinate the upper echelons of a country's ruling class.
Sometimes, a powerful warrior can decide the outcome of a war.
Under such circumstances, the war between Wen and Yu inexplicably came to a standstill.
Because after the war broke out, those who died were no longer just the worthless civilians who served as soldiers, but also the ruling classes of both sides.
Even if you're not on the front lines, it doesn't mean you're safe.
Lin Qianxing really didn't expect things to turn out this way.
He no longer stayed in Yuguo.
Lin Qianxing traveled all the way south from Yu Kingdom, crossing the ocean. After almost half a year, he finally arrived in a new country called Chan Kingdom.
The country is located on a continent where it is spring all year round and is surrounded by the sea with no enemies.
The people of the entire country live in an environment that is very suitable for living.
There are no external enemies and no shortage of resources internally.
They seemed very peaceful.
There have been wars in history, but they usually ended quickly.
Since the people are not facing a survival crisis, fighting seems pointless.
Therefore, martial arts is not the norm here, and the customs of the people are extremely simple and honest.
After seeing this situation, Lin Qianxing felt that if people from Wen Kingdom or Yu Kingdom came here one day, the indigenous people would definitely be threatened or even ruled by their force.
Therefore, Lin Qianxing prepared to spread the internal breathing martial arts here.
Even if you don't practice martial arts for combat, it can help you stay healthy and make your life more convenient.
The capital of Chan Kingdom, Danyu City.
Lin Qianxing teaches his disciples in the martial arts school he opened.
At this time, a man in gorgeous clothes riding an elephant came to the outside of the martial arts hall under the escort of soldiers.
"Mr. Lin Kong, I am the Queen's messenger, and she wants to summon you." The man said.
Lin Qianxing said he understood, and then followed the man and sat on the elephant and went to the palace together.
The elephant is the national animal of the Chan Kingdom, and only the royal family and ministers can ride it.
If ordinary people wanted to ride the national animal, they had to be summoned by the royal family and then follow the envoy to ride the elephant into the palace.
Being able to ride an elephant is considered an honor to the family here.
Soon, Lin Qianxing followed the envoy into the palace.
Then he was not taken directly to the audience, but was first taken to bathe and change his clothes, and then put on a clean palace dress before being allowed to meet the queen.
Led by the maid, Lin Qianxing came to the hall where the queen was.
After Lin Qianxing entered, he immediately saw the queen of Chan Kingdom sitting right at the top of the hall.
She was wearing luxurious golden clothes and a snake head crown on her head, which represented wisdom. From her appearance, she seemed to be in her forties.
The Chan Kingdom is quite special. They believe that men are the symbol of strength and women are the symbol of wisdom.
Therefore, physical work that requires physical effort is usually done by men, while mental work that requires the use of the brain is often done by women.
Because of this, it was very common to have female officials among the ruling class.
The queen is not the one with the most power. She only represents a part of the power. She represents wisdom, so she is called the Chief of Wisdom. She has equal power with the Chief of Strength, who is a male co-king and holds most of the military and law enforcement powers.
He wears a snake head crown on his head, which represents power. Interestingly, he and the queen are not husband and wife, but rather they prefer a relationship of cooperation and checks and balances.
By the way, the totem of Chan Kingdom is a two-headed snake that symbolizes both wisdom and courage.
"I, the humble commoner Lin Kong, greet Her Majesty the Queen." Lin Qianxing bowed and saluted.
"Stand up." Yolanda smiled and said, "Please take a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lin Qianxing said.
After Lin Qianxing sat down, Yolanda asked, "I heard that the internal breath martial arts is very magical and can make a thin woman extremely powerful. I wonder if it is true or not."
"Your Majesty, there are quite a few female disciples in my martial arts school. The best of them are as strong as strong adult men." Lin Qianxing said.
Yolanda nodded thoughtfully and said, "Mr. Lin Kong, I heard that when you founded the martial arts school in Danyu City, you once lifted a thousand-pound boulder. Is that true?"
"That's just a little trick to attract everyone's attention. I'm sorry to make you laugh, Your Majesty." Lin Qianxing said.
"That's no small trick. Even His Majesty Tohuti doesn't have such power." Yolanda said.
Tohti refers to another king.
Lin Qianxing did not respond. At this moment, it would be inappropriate to brag or be modest.
Yolanda paused and said, "Sir Lin Kong, where is the limit of your power?"
"Never tried it." Lin Qianxing said.
He certainly hadn't tried.
Two and a half years have passed since he raised the upper limit of his internal energy martial arts, and his strength has been increasing during this time.
However, although he has never tried it, he still has the strength of a thousand pounds with one arm.
Otherwise he would not be able to lift the thousand-pound stone, and came to the city to open a martial arts school.
"Outside my palace, there is a golden elephant that weighs almost two thousand pounds. Would you like to try it, Lord Lin Kong?" Yolanda said expectantly.
"Since it is the Queen's request, I will give it a try. If I cannot lift it, please do not blame me," said Lin Qianxing.
"Human power has its limits. How could I blame you?" Yolanda said with a smile.
After hearing this, Lin Qianxing finally understood why Yolanda asked him to lift the golden elephant.
There is a rumor going around in Chan Country that power has limits, but wisdom has no limits.
And his appearance seemed to break this routine.
The Queen probably felt that her position was challenged, so she came here specifically to make things difficult for him.
If the news of his failure to lift the golden elephant spread, and she then found a way to lift it, wouldn't that prove that wisdom is more important than strength?
Lin Qianxing's lips curled up. This is indeed a simple and unpretentious way of thinking about political struggle.
Immediately, Lin Qianxing walked out of the hall.
In the center of the hall stood a giant elephant with one of its front paws raised.
The entire body of it is golden, of course it cannot be made entirely of gold, but even if it is just gold-plated, it is still very precious.
All we can say is that Chan Country does have superior geographical conditions.
At this time, everyone in the hall was looking at Lin Qianxing, curious about the limit of his strength.
Lin Qianxing circled the golden elephant, then reached out and hugged one of its legs.
Squeak, squeak, squeak~!
Hot air was gushing out of his mouth and nose, his veins were knotted and the outline of his strong muscles was visible under his clothes.
Click, click, click~!
The floor beneath Lin Qianxing's feet cracked slightly, and the golden elephant also moved slightly.
Queen Yolanda's expression became nervous as she watched this scene.
"Get up~!"
Lin Qianxing suddenly exerted force and lifted the golden elephant high above his head.
He turned around, looked at everyone in the hall, and then walked into the hall.
Boom~Boom~Boom~!
Every step Lin Qianxing took made a heavy treading sound on the floor of the hall.
After arriving at the center of the hall, he said to Yolanda, "I have fulfilled my mission and brought the golden elephant to meet Her Majesty the Queen."
The servants and officials in the hall who saw this scene were all stunned.
Yolanda's face was filled with disbelief.
"Hurry, put it down!" said Yolanda.
Lin Qianxing nodded and gently placed the golden elephant in the center of the hall.
If the previous move represented an outbreak.
The distance he walked into the hall represented endurance.
And this release at this time represents control.
The whole process seemed so effortless, which showed that lifting the golden elephant was far from the limit for Lin Qianxing.
"The internal breathing martial arts is truly amazing. Come, give the warriors some wine." Yolanda said.
Immediately, a beautiful maid came forward and served Lin Qianxing a glass of wine in a golden goblet.
Lin Qianxing raised his glass to signal, then drank it all in one gulp and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."
