Chapter 404: Convening
"You killed him?" Xiao Qing asked in a hoarse voice after a while.
"If I didn't kill it, could it have committed suicide?" Qin Ziling looked at Xiao Qing's surprised expression and asked back, feeling a sense of pride and accomplishment.
"Then, then your current strength must be stronger than Master Zhongxuan?" Xiao Qing said again, feeling like he was dreaming.
In the past, Master Xuan was definitely a legendary figure to her. Even though she has seen more and has a broader vision now, Master Xuan is still a legendary figure to her.
Because up to now, she hasn't even met a master.
But now, only two months have passed, and her man has suddenly reached the height of a legend.
"Yes, but it's hard to say about the Grand Mysterious Master. But if you give me some more time, I am confident that I can rival the Grand Mysterious Master, because I am already a Martial Saint in the Marrow Refining Realm. As long as I continue to practice in seclusion for a period of time, I should be able to reach the middle stage of the Marrow Refining Realm. By then, if I can improve in other aspects, it should not be a problem for me to rival the Grand Mysterious Master." Qin Ziling replied.
"Master, you are so awesome!" Xia Yan couldn't help but say, looking at Qin Ziling's eyes with stars in them, like a crazy star chaser.
"Marrow Refining Realm!" Xiao Qing's body trembled violently, and he blurted out: "Have you comprehended the secret of marrow refining?"
"Yeah." Qin Ziling nodded and smiled, "You're almost there too."
"I'm almost there too?" Xiao Qing was stunned.
"With the help of this sixth-grade intermediate-level exotic beast, you should be able to cultivate your qi, blood, strength, and five internal organs to the limits of a grandmaster soon. Then I can teach you the method of marrow refining. You are gifted and intelligent, and I will use some external auxiliary means to teach you and answer your questions. You will definitely be able to step into the threshold of marrow refining soon." Qin Ziling said confidently.
Are you kidding? A sixth-grade intermediate-level exotic beast is equivalent to a mid-level Martial Saint or a mid-level Mystical Master. It is much more powerful than an ordinary grandmaster.
One can imagine how powerful and pure the energy contained in it is.
If Xiao Qing had not had an exceptionally solid foundation, awakened bloodline, and exceptionally strong vitality, Qin Ziling would not have dared to rashly give her the meat of a sixth-grade intermediate exotic beast.
The energy contained in the meat of exotic beasts is usually very violent and fierce!
For someone like Xia Yan, even if she breaks through to become a grandmaster in the future, with her foundation, Qin Ziling can only give her the meat of lower-level sixth-grade exotic beasts to eat at most.
"Okay!" Xiao Qing did not ask any further questions after hearing this, but just looked at Qin Ziling deeply, then nodded and started eating barbecue.
The next day, dusk.
The setting sun slowly fell into the sea of clouds behind the mountains west of Yunluo Lake.
On the island in the middle of the lake, in the Wuji Great Hall gathered Zuo Le, Zheng Xinghan, Bao Yingjun, Liu Xiaoqiang, Shao E, Lu Taiqiang, Pan Bo, Ma Bocai, Jin Yichen, Cui Baiming and Cui Shanhe, grandparents and grandchildren, Bai Yu Lieyang and other core disciples of Wuji Sect, as well as Zhu Huiqin and the master and apprentice Jian Bailou and Feng Ziluo of the Jinjian Sect.
Not every one of these people is exceptionally talented, and some can only be considered to have above-average qualifications.
But because Qin Ziling spared no expense in cultivating it, especially with the help of spiritual fruits like the Shenglong Fruit that had miraculous effects in breaking through realms, today, all those present are masters.
Qin Ziling's eyes slowly swept over the familiar faces below, and saw that without him noticing , the Wuji Sect actually already had twenty-four grandmasters, not counting him and Xiao Qing. Among them, Zheng Xinghan, Bao Yingjun, Cui Shanhe, Bai Yulieyang, and Xia Yan were already mid-level grandmasters. He felt deeply moved and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel proud.
Qin Ziling exchanged a few pleasantries with everyone, then gave each person a drop of golden liquid.
At first, everyone was just surprised that this golden liquid was extremely rich in vitality, as if it contained new life force. But not long after taking it, the expressions on everyone's faces could no longer be described as surprised, they were simply shocked to the extreme.
Especially the elderly people like Zuo Le, Cui Baiming, Bai Yulieyang, Jian Bailou, etc., could not help but burst into tears.
Take Zuo Le for example. He was only a martial arts master at an old age. It was Qin Ziling who, out of consideration for the relationship between master and disciple, helped him step by step without sparing any blood. Until last year, Zuo Le finally broke through and became a martial arts master with the help of a Shenglong Fruit.
Cui Baiming was relatively better. He was naturally gifted and had cultivated to the late stage of bone refining, where he became a great martial artist. However, he was already in his eighties by then, so it was impossible for him to hope to become a grandmaster.
People of his age, let alone others, would be reluctant to use up the good resources themselves, and would rather leave them to future generations, because from a practical point of view, it would be a waste for him to use them himself.
But Qin Ziling sometimes gives people the impression of being deep-minded, shrewd, and calculating, but when it comes to his relatives and friends, he tends to be emotional.
Cui Baiming is his elder and they have feelings for each other. He would rather train one less disciple who will be useful to him in the future than not give him a Shenglong Fruit.
You can say he is stupid or that he is wasting resources, but for Qin Ziling, isn't the reason he strives to become stronger just to protect himself, his family and friends, so that they can live better and go further?
If he only cares about his own strength, and if he even measures his family, relatives, and friends by gains and losses, Qin Ziling believes that his hard work in cultivation has lost its meaning. Even if he really stands at the top one day, he will only feel lonely and desolate.
For people like Zuo Le and Cui Baiming, being a junior martial arts master was their limit, and there was absolutely no hope of a breakthrough for the rest of their lives.
Zuo Le, Cui Baiming and others knew the truth, so when Qin Ziling gave them the Shenglong Fruit, they refused. But since Qin Ziling was determined not to do so, they had no choice but to take it.
Unexpectedly, Qin Ziling found this golden liquid for them from somewhere, and one drop of it made them full of vitality. Their declining blood and energy continued to rise, and they seemed to have returned to their prime .
In addition to talent, aptitude, understanding, character, resources and other conditions, martial arts practice also requires a huge limitation, which is age.
Even compared to Qi training, the age requirement for martial arts practice can be said to be very strict.
After Zuo Le and Cui Baiming became junior grandmasters, the problem that made it impossible for them to make a breakthrough was their age.
But now, with a drop of golden liquid, their decayed blood and energy actually regained new strength, and the age problem that had completely blocked their way to a breakthrough was instantly solved.
They also have hope of continuing to break through.
How could Zuo Le and Cui Baiming not shed tears?
Bai Yu Lieyang is a middle-level master. Due to his age, he no longer has the hope of becoming a grand master, but now he has the hope.
