Chapter 352 Departure
Time passes quietly.
In a blink of an eye, it is March again, the season when flowers bloom.
This year, Qin Ziling was twenty-seven years old.
In the days after last year, except for the New Year, Qin Ziling and his party returned to Xiyunzhou to spend the New Year with their families. The rest of the time was basically spent either in seclusion in the floating prison for practice, or in the cave world.
The overall progress of Zheng Xinghan and others' training in the underground cave world was relatively smooth, but some unexpected events were inevitable.
Lu Taiqiang, who has always been narcissistic and behaved like a rich young man, lost his left arm in a life-and-death experience and became a one-armed man.
Xia Donglin, a disciple who later stood out among the many disciples of Wuji Sect, had one foot injured so severely that he became a lame man like Yuntai.
Qu Chenlong, the second owner of Shuiyue Villa, became a one-eyed dragon.
In addition to these three people, there are five other people who are more or less missing some inconspicuous "parts".
Fortunately, thanks to Qin Ziling's secret protection, no deaths occurred.
If it were any other people, entering and exiting the underground world so frequently, and deliberately challenging high difficulty levels, putting themselves in life-and-death dangers, most of them would have been killed or injured in half a year.
Xiao Qing's strength is also improving rapidly, and now she has partially refined her fourth organ, the spleen.
As long as the fourth organ is refined, she can officially start refining the last and most difficult organ, the heart.
…
Because he had no shortage of the upgraded version of the "Liuhe Bone-Dissolving Pill", Qin Ziling's progress was also very smooth.
This was all thanks to Xie Yunjin and the other six people, who not only sent him magic crystals for purchasing auxiliary medicines, but also provided bait for hunting demon generals.
In the days that followed, Qin Ziling used bait and teamed up with Xiao Qing to hunt down eighteen small demon generals and five medium demon generals. Together with the small demon generals discovered by Zheng Xinghan and others, the total number of small demon generals hunted by Qin Ziling reached twenty-six.
With enough demon general blood crystals, Qin Ziling naturally would not be stingy and gave most of them to the four golden corpses.
Qin Ziling even gave three of the Demon Blood Crystals of the Demon General to Sishou, Yuan Da and Yuan Er, leaving only three for himself for the time being.
After spending such a huge amount of money, the cultivation of Sishu, Yuanda and Yuaner improved very quickly. Qin Ziling even felt that Sishu was showing signs of breaking through to become a high-level golden corpse, but it seemed that something was missing.
Ying Bao, a golden corpse with relatively poor "roots", finally broke through and became a mid-level golden corpse under Qin Ziling's cultivation.
With the help of the upgraded version of "Liuhe Bone-Transforming Pill", Qin Ziling's skull tempering progress was also very fast.
Now, twenty-six pieces of his skull have been completely tempered, leaving only the last three.
However, these three skulls are extremely difficult to temper, and the effect of the "Six-in-one Bone-Treating Pill" refined with the magic blood crystal of the little demon is already very small.
Qin Ziling believed that the magic blood crystal of the middle-level demon general should be used as the main medicine, and higher-quality exotic beast bone marrow and spiritual medicine should be used as auxiliary medicines to refine a more advanced "Six-in-one Bone-Transforming Pill" in order to complete the last three skulls.
Qin Ziling now has plenty of the Demon Blood Crystals of the Demon Generals.
But he didn't have higher quality exotic animal bone marrow and elixirs on hand, so he needed to go to Canglang Island to purchase them.
Qin Ziling had already inquired about these auxiliary medicines during his previous visits to Canglang Island. They were very expensive. If he wanted to buy three sets, he would need at least 1,500 magic crystals.
Unless Qin Ziling took out the magic crystal stones he got from the War Ruins Forbidden Land, it would be difficult to gather so many magic crystal stones in a short time.
…
It was a sunny day and the mountains were full of wild flowers in full bloom.
A caravan consisting of twenty-one people walked out of Fulao Pass and headed towards Xiyunzhou.
Qin Ziling stood on the city wall and watched the caravan leave with mixed feelings.
Eight years ago, when he was just a small figure in a remote county town, he had thought about building a strong team.
Now, this powerful team has finally taken shape.
"Although not all of your subordinates have extraordinary talents, and some can only be considered average, not even top-notch, they are all determined without exception. Especially after half a year of training in the cave world, I can feel that their spirits have been twisted into one. I am afraid that no matter how great the difficulties and dangers are in the future, it will be difficult to defeat them.
If nothing unexpected happens, these people will gradually become martial arts masters or even Qi refining masters in the years to come. Your branch, with just these people, will probably be the most powerful branch of the Qin family in the future , not to mention you and Xiao Qing. "Watching the backs of Xiao Qing and others gradually going away, Qin Zitang couldn't help but sighed.
Qin Ziling just smiled when he heard that.
Among these people, there will not only be a few martial arts masters or even qi refining masters emerging in the years to come?
These people will all become masters of martial arts and Qi training in the next one or two years!
Because he has the dragon fruit!
This kind of miraculous fruit from heaven and earth not only has a very high effect on great Qi-refining masters and great martial artists below the Grandmaster level, but even for people at the Grandmaster level, it has a certain chance of helping them comprehend the great Dao and break through the realm.
Therefore, when these people go back, those who are ready can break through and become grandmasters by taking the Shenglong Fruit. Those who are not ready can also break through and become grandmasters immediately after settling down for a year or two and then taking the Shenglong Fruit.
A late bloomer like Zheng Xinghan had already reached the quasi-grandmaster level when he came to the underground world to hone his skills. After returning this time, with the help of the Shenglong Fruit, if he is luckier, he may be able to reach a higher level in the next one or two years and become a martial arts grandmaster.
Bao Yingjun, who is highly talented, may also have this possibility!
Of course, Qin Ziling will not tell Qin Zitang about this for now.
Although she and he are friends for life and death, she is also the elder of the Qin family in Wuzhou. She must consider the entire family for everything.
The affairs of the Qin family in Wuzhou involved the crown prince of the Great Qi Kingdom.
The Crown Prince of the Great Qi Kingdom is the future king, and his power is unimaginable. Qin Ziling must leave a way out for himself and cannot rely entirely on the Qin family.
What's more, the Qin family in Wuzhou has spies from other forces, so Qin Ziling needs to be more cautious in doing things.
“However, you have been in and out of the underground cave world so frequently for half a year, but no one has died. This is simply unimaginable. In our Qin family, many children die in the underground cave world every year. This is especially true for Fulao Pass, which has a vast area and is swarmed with waves of demon soldiers. Therefore, we have to send many disciples down every year to sweep the area, and the number of deaths is also the highest.” Qin Zitang continued, with a hint of indirection in his tone.
"Sister, the previous head of our Qin family should be a martial arts grandmaster, right?" Qin Ziling seemed not to understand the meaning of Qin Zitang's words, and turned to ask about the previous head of the family.
Qin Zitang tilted his head and glared at Qin Ziling slightly, but soon returned to normal and nodded, "Yes."
"So, sister, you should know something about the grandmasters of martial arts, right?" Qin Ziling asked.
Qin Zitang was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then he spoke again: "Although the number of martial arts grandmasters in the Great Qi Kingdom is much less than that of Qi refining grandmasters, in the Great Qi Kingdom, except for the Tianyan Sect, the Qi refining grandmasters of other sects must show some courtesy to the martial arts grandmasters.
Because the martial arts grandmasters are not only extremely powerful, but each of them controls great power in the secular court, while the Qi refining grandmasters, especially the Qi refining grandmasters, cannot interfere in the affairs of the court according to the rules of the Tianyan Sect. They still need to rely on these powers for many things in the secular world. "
"The Tianyan Sect is not simple!" Qin Ziling couldn't help but sighed when he heard it, "The Qi Refining Grandmaster has a long lifespan, and his cultivation is relatively less affected by age. If they can control the power of the secular court, the benefits they can restrain will be huge. Maybe if things go wrong, they will have the strength to rival the Tianyan Sect.
Even if they don't have the strength to rival the Tianyan Sect, once they have power, how can they be willing to give it up? They may become disloyal, and it is impossible for them to be willing to be manipulated by the Tianyan Sect all the time. In fact, even if the people in power are warriors and scholars, they will become disloyal over time.
However, the martial arts are too limited, and it is very difficult to produce a grandmaster, let alone a martial saint or a martial immortal who is higher than a martial saint. Therefore, even if they have second thoughts, even if they control the secular army, they will not pose much threat to the Tianyan Sect. Moreover, there is the Sitianjian monitoring them. If they really make more moves in secret, it is not a difficult problem to simply replace a group of people and change the dynasty. The only problem is that the people will suffer a lot of hardships and torments. "
"I can't imagine that you are only 27 years old. I have only gradually understood the twists and turns behind the scenes in recent years. I never thought about it deeply before." Qin Zitang looked at Qin Ziling deeply and said.
"This is normal. Compared with men, women are not that interested in or sensitive to these political powers." Qin Ziling said.
"Your perspective on the issue is really strange. I have never analyzed it from the perspective of men and women." Qin Zitang was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then said.
Qin Ziling smiled when he heard this, and then asked, "Sister, how much do you know about the strength of a martial arts grandmaster?"
Qin Zitang's eyes showed a touch of admiration and awe when he heard this, and he said, "Before I really saw a martial arts grandmaster in action, I always thought that a martial arts grandmaster should be only slightly stronger than a martial arts middle master. It was not until one day when I saw a martial arts grandmaster in action that I realized that when a martial arts middle master becomes a grandmaster, his strength is greatly improved."
"Really?" Qin Ziling's expression changed slightly.
"The heart is the head of the five internal organs. It is the residence of the spirit, the master of blood, and the ancestor of the meridians. Once the heart is refined, the five internal organs will be like a group of dragons with a leader. The power of the five internal organs will truly merge together to form an extremely powerful source of power. Also, once the heart is refined, it is said that the whole person's soul and spirit will also undergo great changes.
Another point is that the heart is the master of blood. Once the heart is tempered successfully, there is a certain chance that it will stimulate the inheritance of human blood. It is said that in ancient times, some great men were born with great powers, and some mythical beasts, such as the dragon clan, the phoenix clan, the unicorn clan, etc., were born with great powers.
After countless years of inheritance, people will more or less have a trace of the blood of those great men and mythical beasts of ancient times, it is just a matter of distance and intensity. These blood inheritances are usually impossible to show, but once they are refined into a heart, there is a small chance that they will be stimulated, allowing warriors to have one or even several magical powers.
Of course, the power of the so-called magical power here is definitely . But it is not inferior to the magic of the Qi Refining Grandmaster. In fact, because this magical power is stimulated from the blood, it is equivalent to being born, unlike the magic of the Qi Refining Grandmaster, which is acquired and needs to use magic power to mobilize the power of heaven and earth to perform.
Therefore, once a martial arts master has activated his blood and possessed supernatural powers, he can display them very quickly, control them more freely, and have more concentrated power. Of course, a master of Qi training can draw on the power of heaven and earth, which is relatively more durable, and the range of attack can be wider, and the types of techniques that can be learned after birth are more varied. Unlike supernatural powers, which can only be activated one by one and cannot be learned after birth.
It is said that the Qin family has a trace of pure dragon blood. Once the blood is stimulated, it is very likely to have extremely powerful power like the dragon clan, and even be able to call the wind and rain, and fly in the clouds. The previous head of the family was famous for his terrifying power and shocked the world. "Qin Zitang said.
Upon hearing this, Qin Ziling subconsciously thought of the pattern on his chest, and the Feijin beast in the valley that could gather water spiritual energy and Gengjin energy and release ice swords and gold swords.
"So, the previous head of the family was very lucky and actually stimulated a trace of true dragon blood and possessed powerful strength?" Qin Ziling said quickly.
