Chapter 405: Incorporation
Jian Bailou is a master of Qi training and is relatively less affected by age restrictions.
But it is only relative.
For a mid-level master like Jian Bailou who is extremely talented and determined, there is still a great hope that he can comprehend the magic of thunder and become a grandmaster, but the possibility of him becoming a profound master by drawing thunder to temper his body is very small.
Because the body is tempered by inducing lightning, the main things that are tempered are the flesh, meridians and dantian.
Although circulating spiritual energy and magic power in the body can greatly nourish the body and strengthen vitality, as age increases, the speed of decline of qi, blood and vitality accelerates, and the body will eventually age gradually.
The meridians and dantian are relatively less affected by the body's qi and blood, and are mainly affected by the strength of magic power and the level of cultivation. But after all, the body is a carrier. When the body reaches a peak and begins to decline, the meridians and dantian will inevitably be restricted by it.
Therefore, the grandmaster needs to draw lightning to temper his body, reverse his vitality, prepare for further breakthroughs, and also for the future golden elixir lightning tribulation.
At this time, the grandmaster needs to find a balance between strong magical powers, profound cultivation and age.
Their magic power is not strong enough, their cultivation is not profound enough, their meridians and dantian are not strong enough, so they cannot withstand the tempering of lightning.
But at the same time, if one is too old and the body is too weak, even with magical powers slowly guiding and protecting it, the body will not be able to withstand the lightning and will collapse.
Therefore, the practice of Qi Refining is actually subject to age restrictions.
It’s just not as demanding as martial arts.
Jian Bailou is already a centenarian. It takes time for him to comprehend the magic of thunder and become a grandmaster. After becoming a grandmaster, it also takes time for him to continue to practice magic power and accumulate it.
Therefore, if there is no good opportunity and everything goes according to plan, by the time Jian Bailou really reaches the day of drawing lightning to temper his body, his body will already be old and weak, and the chance of success will be very low.
In fact, the best time for Qin Jianmei of the Qin family in Wuzhou to draw lightning to temper her body was twenty years ago. At that time, her magic power, the strength of her meridians and dantian, and the aging of her body had reached a relatively appropriate balance. Although the success rate was still relatively low, it was definitely much higher than it is now.
But more than 20 years ago, the head of the Qin family and several of the most outstanding elders and descendants were killed. For the sake of the Qin family, she had no choice but to postpone the lightning body tempering, wanting to protect the Qin family for a while longer. Unfortunately, the Qin family was still on a downward trend after so many years and had not cultivated any grandmasters. She could no longer delay it, otherwise there would be no hope at all.
Jian Bailou's situation is not much better than Qin Jianmei's. He is already over a hundred years old when he becomes a master.
But now Qin Ziling gave him a drop of golden liquid, which instantly brought him back to life. In fact, it was equivalent to greatly increasing his hope of entering the realm of Xuanshi in the future.
Jian Bailou originally thought that it would be good enough if he could stop at the Grandmaster level in his Qi Refining. He did not dare to have any extravagant hopes for the Master level. At least, he would not think too much about it before he became a Grandmaster.
Unexpectedly, Qin Ziling gave him hope now!
"Come to think of it, we haven't had a good gathering for a long time. Usually we are either practicing or busy with our own things. Today I called everyone here, not only to distribute this golden liquid to you, but also to have a good gathering with everyone and have a meal and a drink." Qin Ziling said with a smile after everyone's emotions had stabilized a little.
After saying that, he took out a fifth-grade upper-level exotic beast that he had killed in the small barrier.
As soon as the fifth-grade upper-level exotic beast was taken out, the powerful aura and surging blood and energy spread out at once.
Everyone's heart was shocked.
"This is a fifth-grade upper-level exotic beast!" Bai Yulieyang and Jian Bailou, who had the best eyesight among the crowd, said it almost at the same time with shocked expressions.
"Haha, that's right. Today we are going to have a barbecue feast of fifth-grade upper-level exotic beasts! Come on, Yingjun, Xiaoqiang, Senior Brother Shen, Senior Brother Lu, Yichen, all of you come and help!" Qin Ziling said with a smile.
Bao Yingjun and the others were stunned for a moment when they heard the words, and then they were all excited and stepped forward with boiling blood, picked up the fifth-grade upper-level exotic beasts and walked out, ready to deal with them and start the barbecue banquet.
Seeing Bao Yingjun and a group of other young men carrying fifth-grade upper-level exotic beasts out, some old men such as Cui Baiming and Jian Bailou were eager to try.
"A fifth-grade upper-level exotic beast is equivalent to a grandmaster. I have never eaten the meat of a fifth-grade upper-level exotic beast in my life!" Cui Baiming said, rubbing his hands.
"Yeah, I never thought that I would have the chance !" Zuo Le swallowed hard, feeling like he was dreaming.
"Although the meat of the fifth-grade upper-level exotic beast is precious, it is still far from comparable to the drop of golden liquid that Zi Ling gave us just now!" Jian Bailou said.
"That's right! That's right!" Cui Baiming laughed, "But when Zi Ling gave us that drop of golden liquid, he didn't explain anything. Once it dripped into our mouths, we didn't even know what it tasted like. It's not like this fifth-grade upper-level exotic beast. It's so exciting just to look at it, let alone eat it later."
"Haha, that's true!" Jian Bailou laughed, his face full of anticipation.
Soon, the rich aroma of meat wafted throughout the Wuji Hall.
Everyone sat in the main hall, eating meat, drinking wine, chatting and laughing, looking very happy.
This fifth-grade upper-level exotic beast ate from noon to night.
Firstly, there is a lot of meat from these fifth-grade upper-level exotic beasts; secondly, the medicinal power of the barbecue is very strong for Lu Taiqiang and others, and they need to practice internal energy to refine it after eating a few pieces; thirdly, of course, it is because everyone has not gathered together for a long time, and now that they are gathered together, it seems like they have returned to the past, and they are drinking and chatting happily.
It's late at night and everyone is asleep.
Everyone burped and left the Wuji Palace in high spirits.
Master and disciple Jian Bailou also returned to Jinjian Mountain on the golden-crowned crane.
Return to Jinjian Mountain.
Master and disciple Jian Bailou sat opposite each other in the back mountain.
"You should be very clear about Zi Ling's character. You are also very clear about the current development of Wuji Sect and the changes that have taken place after Pan Bo and others came there. You are the leader of the Golden Sword Sect of this generation. What do you think?" Jian Bailou asked.
"Master, do you want to merge the Golden Sword Sect into the Wuji Sect?" Feng Ziluo was silent for a moment, then looked up at Jian Bailou and said.
"Zi Ling is a sentimental person, so he treats us the same as he treats Zheng Xinghan and others. But after all, there are differences between our sects. He treats us the same and gives us all the benefits we deserve. This is already a great favor, and we can't be greedy and expect him to treat other disciples of the Golden Sword Sect in the same way.
Moreover, we can't always expect him to stay like this. Even if he won't change, you and I can't afford this favor. As for the inheritance of the sect, as long as we go over and ask Zi Ling to enshrine the ancestors of our Jinjian Sect in Wuji Sect, he shouldn't refuse. In this way, the inheritance of our Jinjian Sect is actually not affected..." Jian Bailou said.
"Disciple agrees to merge the Golden Sword Sect into the Wuji Sect." Feng Ziluo spoke before Jian Bailou could finish his words.
Jian Bailou was slightly startled when he heard this, and looked at his beloved disciple Feng Ziluo with a hint of surprise.
He thought Feng Ziluo was always stubborn and didn't know how to adapt in this regard, but he didn't expect him to be so straightforward this time.
"Once the Tianyan Sect issues an order, Master, as the Grand Elder of the Golden Sword Sect, you must obey! In the eyes of the real big sects, our Golden Sword Sect is not an independent sect at all, but just their vassal.
Besides, without Zi Ling, our Golden Sword Sect might have been wiped out, and there would be no way we are thriving today. If our ancestors knew about this, they would definitely happy to see us merge into the Wuji Sect and expand the Golden Sword Sect." Feng Ziluo said.
"Okay, then let's call together the elders of the sect to discuss it." Jian Bailou looked at Feng Ziluo with satisfaction, and then said.
The next day, early in the morning.
Master and disciple Jian Bailou returned to Wuji Palace to visit Qin Ziling and explained their purpose.
Qin Ziling was naturally welcome.
The development of Wujimen in recent years can be said to be at rocket-like speed, and there are even more than 20 grandmasters.
In terms of strength, it is definitely a big force and a big sect.
But Wujimen was established too recently and lacks foundation.
Especially in the aspect of Qi Refining, the foundation is seriously insufficient. Currently, there are only three masters, Pan Bo, Ma Bocai and Jin Yichen, who are holding up the facade, but the people under the masters are almost non-existent.
Besides, Pan Bo and his team were also poached from the Golden Sword Sect.
Now that the Golden Sword Sect has requested to be merged into the Wuji Sect, it can make up for the shortcomings of the Wuji Sect's insufficient foundation, especially in the area of Qi Refining. Only in this way can the Wuji Sect have the aura of a major sect in all aspects.
Now, in terms of martial arts, Xiao Qing is expected to start refining his marrow soon and become a martial saint at the marrow refining realm.
In terms of Qi training, with the addition of Jian Bailou and Feng Ziluo, Feng Ziluo may need some time to accumulate experience, but Jian Bailou has the help of Qin Ziling and should be able to comprehend the thunder method and become a grandmaster in the near future.
Others who want to become grand masters have to prepare for a long time before they dare to draw lightning to temper their bodies.
But Qin Ziling had a lot of Lei Xun stones in his hands, and the golden liquid not only had extremely pure new vitality, but also made people feel a sense of familiarity with thunder and lightning.
Therefore, as long as Jian Bailou comprehends the thunder method and becomes a grandmaster, he will probably be able to draw thunder to temper his body and become a mysterious master soon.
In this way, it can be predicted that in the near future, the Wuji Sect will have the Martial Saint Xiao Qing in charge, and the Qi Refining Sect will have the Sword Master Bailou Xuan in charge.
In addition to them, there are a group of masters of all sizes, martial artists, and Qi masters. Even if the sect leader Qin Ziling is not there, they can fully support the Wuji Sect.
This is the demeanor that a great sect should have.
In the following days, Qin Ziling only visited his mother Cui Yun at the Qin Mansion in Anhe Village from time to time to keep her company. He never left the island in the middle of Yunluo Lake.
Xiao Qing and Xia Yan also stayed in Yunluo Lake.
While staying in Yunluo Lake, Xiao Qing ate the meat of sixth-grade mid-level exotic beasts every day, while Xia Yan ate the meat of fifth-grade upper-level exotic beasts.
In the Wind and Thunder Small Barrier, when Qin Ziling broke through to become a Grandmaster, he did not have the opportunity to eat the meat of a sixth-grade intermediate-level exotic beast. However, because of Qin Ziling, Xiao Qing ate the meat of a sixth-grade intermediate-level exotic beast every day after breaking through to become a Grandmaster.
So within a few days, Xiao Qing's qi and blood strength, and the human capacity of the sea of qi and blood in his heart all reached their limits.
Now, the cave world within the Qiankun Ring is Qin Ziling’s biggest secret.
However, Qin Ziling naturally had nothing to hide from Xiao Qing.
Seeing that Xiao Qing's blood and energy, as well as the human capacity of the sea of blood and energy in her heart had reached their limits, he moved her into the cave world.
