Chapter 438: Battle at Floating Prison Pass
Looking at the surprised expressions of Qin Zaixin and others, Qin Ziling felt a little embarrassed and ashamed.
The reason why this dragon pond became gentle was, firstly, because he and Xiao Qing had harmonized the yin and yang of the dragon and the tiger in it, which made the dragon vein energy inside become more orderly and gentle; secondly, it was directly related to the fact that he had absorbed at least half of the dragon vein energy.
As the amount of dragon energy in the dragon vein decreases, its fierceness and ferocity will naturally weaken.
However, Qin Ziling would not blame himself for this.
If this dragon vein had not been processed and absorbed by him, it would have been just a dangerous pool for the Qin family and would have been difficult to truly utilize.
In fact, he helped the Qin family.
Of course, he is now only one step away from overcoming the tribulation and becoming a human immortal. With his powerful strength, he will be able to help the Qin family even more in the future.
In particular, he has the "Dragon-Tiger Thunder Sound Marrow Refining Secret Method" and the Lei Xun Giant Stone Array that can induce thunder, which can help the grand master comprehend the Thunder Sound Marrow Cleansing Method.
In this way, in the future, the Qin family will be able to cultivate some Martial Saints, let alone grandmasters. So what would it matter if they absorbed more than half of the dragon veins and dragon energy?
"Of course it's true." Qin Ziling smiled slightly and said, "Uncle, you have already started to refine your heart, but it's not yet complete. You have taken a drop of golden lightning liquid, and your vitality is strong. If you go to Longtan to practice now, there is a high probability that you will be able to stimulate your bloodline and become a grandmaster in one fell swoop."
"Do I still have a chance to become a grand master?" Qin Zaixin was shocked when he heard this, and said in a trembling voice.
He looked to be only about fifty years old, that was because he had a strong cultivation base, a large part of his heart had been refined, and his blood and energy were surging and vigorous.
But in fact, Qin Zaixin is already in his 80s, and the decline of his energy and vitality has begun to accelerate.
Because of this, his martial arts stopped at the peak of the intermediate master level and he was unable to become a grand master.
Back then, Qin Jianmei chose him to be the head of the family because, in addition to his serious character and good moral character, she also valued his cultivation. She also hoped that he could completely refine his heart and break through to become a martial arts grandmaster.
It’s a pity that Qin Jianxin ultimately failed due to his age and stopped at the peak of the intermediate master level.
Now, Qin Ziling told Qin Zaixin that he had the potential to become a grandmaster. How could Qin Zaixin not be excited?
"In the Qin family, the one who has the greatest hope of becoming a grandmaster in the short term is you, uncle. Not only a grandmaster, but with your talent and physique, you may even become a martial saint in the future." Qin Ziling said with a smile.
"Martial Saint?" Qin Zaixin's heart almost jumped out when he heard this.
The others were also shocked and couldn't believe it when they heard it.
The Martial Saint has not been heard of since the founding of the Great Qi State, and even his martial arts techniques have become extinct.
It can be said that for the warriors of the Great Qi State, the Grandmaster is the end point of their martial arts, and no one dares to dream of becoming a Martial Saint.
"I have a secret method for refining marrow. Uncle, since you are the head of the Qin family, I will pass it on to you and try to help you comprehend the secret method for refining marrow. Now that I have you in charge of the Qin family, I feel relieved." Qin Ziling said.
"This, this..." Qin Zaixin was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
The other elders of the Qin family were also extremely excited.
When everyone was excited, Qin Ziling showed a hint of surprise, then waved to Qin Xingbao and said: "Xingbao, an old friend of mine is outside the city, go and invite him over."
"Yes, my uncle." Although Qin Xingbao was confused, he bowed and took the order and left.
"Zi Ling, now even your master finds you a little unfathomable!" After Qin Xingbao left, Lai Yinuan looked at Qin Zi Ling and said.
Qin Ziling smiled noncommittally, then turned to Qin Zaixin and asked, "Uncle, is the Fulao Pass Cave still guarded by my Qin family?"
"Ever since you killed the prince and fought Jiang Shengyun last time, the Qin family's reputation in Wuzhou has been unmatched. So after that time, all the forces and sects that belonged to our Qin family returned one after another, and also attached some compensation items. Although guarding the Fulao Pass Cave is a tough job, it also has its advantages, so it has returned to the hands of our Qin family." Qin Zaixin replied.
"Teacher, what do you think about arranging the battle between me and Jiang Shengyun at Fulao Mountain in five days?" Qin Ziling nodded to Qin Zaixin first, then turned to Lai Yinuan and asked.
"You still have concerns about the Tianyan Sect!" Lai Yinuan was slightly stunned when he heard this.
"We must always be on guard against others! Tianyan Sect is a large sect with a long heritage, and there must be many powerful formations at the mountain gate. It is not appropriate for me to go to the mountain gate of Tianyan Sect to fight a life-and-death battle with Jiang Shengyun. Unless you, teacher, have already passed the tribulation and become a Jindan cultivator, then I can be truly at ease." Qin Ziling said.
"Fulao Pass is also good." Lai Yi Nuan nodded.
"You should learn more from the Great Elder in the future, and don't get carried away and become arrogant just because you have some skills. You must be cautious when you need to be cautious, be tolerant when you need to be tolerant, and of course you must fight when you need to fight." Qin Jianmei took the opportunity to preach to Qin Zijiao and Qin Xingjun who were standing behind her.
"Yes, ancestor!" Qin Zijiao and Qin Xingjun said hurriedly, looking at Qin Ziling with awe and admiration in their eyes.
They are all gifted children. In the past, they would never have listened to Qin Jianmei's words, but now every word she said is like the morning bell and evening drum, thought-provoking.
With Qin Ziling's strength, he still planned and acted cautiously at every step. What could they do to him?
"Don't reveal the location of this battle. We have to give some face to the Tianyan Sect." Qin Ziling continued.
Everyone's heart was shocked when they heard the words, and then they looked at each other, with expressions that were indescribably wonderful.
How confident do you have to be to say that!
But the other party is the Golden Core Ancestor!
Only Xiao Qing had a relatively calm expression.
She was the only one among the crowd who truly knew how powerful Qin Ziling was.
Just when everyone was looking excited, Qin Xingbao walked in with a Taoist priest with a pockmarked face.
This Taoist with a pockmarked face was none other than Ma Wude, who had entered the small wind and thunder barrier with Qin Ziling.
I haven't seen him for about four months. Now Ma Wude has become a master of Qi Refining. It is obvious that he has gained a lot of benefits in Tianyan Sect.
"Ma Wude greets the master." As soon as Ma Wude came in, he bowed to Qin Ziling.
Everyone was surprised to see Ma Wude address Qin Ziling as "Master" and bow down to him as soon as he came in, especially Lai Yinuan who looked even more surprised.
A few months ago, Ma Wude performed outstandingly in the wind and thunder barrier and was taken to the Tianyan Sect's mountain gate to worship an elder as his teacher.
Speaking of which, he is now a person of considerable status and position, no longer a mere casual cultivator like before.
As a result, Lai Yinuan did not expect that he would actually respectfully address Qin Ziling as Master.
"I saved his life in the small barrier, and he wanted to follow me afterwards. So I asked him to go to Tianyan Sect first, and think about it carefully before making a final decision. I didn't expect that he would still come here." Qin Ziling explained specially.
While explaining, Qin Ziling had already stepped forward to help Ma Wude up and said, "You should know that Jiang Shengyun has survived the heavenly tribulation and become a golden elixir cultivator, right?"
"I already know." Ma Wude replied.
Qin Ziling was silent for a moment after hearing this and said, "If that's the case, then you will follow me from now on. I will be the headmaster of Wuji Sect, and you will be a disciple of Wuji Sect from now on."
"Greetings, Master!" Ma Wude's expression froze when he heard this, and he was about to kowtow again, but Qin Ziling stopped him and said, "No need to be so polite."
After that, he specially introduced Qin Jianmei, Qin Zaixin, Jian Bailou, Xiao Qing and others to Ma Wude.
After the introduction, Qin Ziling said to Ruan Qiang, "Uncle Ruan, please help me pass a message back to Tianyan Sect. I will wait for Jiang Shengyun at Fulao Mountain in five days."
"Okay!" Ruan Qiang nodded, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
I am looking forward to the battle in five days, and also looking forward to returning to the mountain gate this time.
After he became a master, he has never returned to the mountain gate.
He has been living a rather miserable life in Tianyan Sect over the years, so going back this time can be considered a "return home in glory."
After Ruan Qiang left, everyone exchanged some pleasantries and then went their separate ways.
Qin Zaixin went to Longtan impatiently.
Qin Ziling went to see his mother Cui Yun. Knowing that she missed home, he asked Xiao Qing to bring some people to accompany her back to Fangqiao County first.
Although Fangliao County is a remote place, it is where Qin Ziling started his career and where his foundation is. It would definitely be inappropriate if there is no strong person guarding it for a long time.
Moreover, Xiao Qing, the Great Martial Saint, is one of his trump cards.
She is now restraining her aura, so she can temporarily hide it from Qin Jianmei and others, so that they cannot see through her intentions. But if she goes to Fulao Mountain to watch the battle, it will be difficult to hide it from the Jindan ancestor of Tianyan Sect.
Qin Ziling always likes to keep something in reserve when doing things. If Xiao Qing can avoid exposing it, it would be better not to do so for the time being.
Soon, Xiao Qing brought a group of people and accompanied Cui Jun to leave Qincheng, leaving only Jian Bailou, Liu Xiaoqiang, Xia Yan and Ma Wude.
Jian Bailou stayed behind, not only to watch the battle, but also to spend more time discussing the way of cultivation with Lai Yinuan.
Both of them practiced the Golden Snake Gengjin Jue. These days, Tian Jian Bailou consulted with Lai Yinan every now and then and made great progress.
Liu Xiaoqiang and Ma Wude stayed behind so that Qin Ziling would have two people at his disposal at all times.
As for Xiao Qing keeping Xia Yan, there was naturally some ulterior motive behind this.
Of course, on the surface he was serving Qin Ziling, and he was also practicing dual cultivation to improve his cultivation.
Qin Ziling's cultivation is now at an extremely high level, and the Qi, blood, and bone marrow in his body are only a little bit away from being completely reversed into the innate Qi, blood, and true essence. Naturally, it would be of great benefit to Xia Yan to practice dual cultivation with him.
After Xiao Qing and others left, Qin Ziling did not stay in Qincheng any longer. He took his men to Fulao Pass that afternoon.
Three members of the Qin family who went with him were Qin Zitang, Qin Xingbao, and Qin Xingpeng . They took over the duty of guarding Fulao Pass.
After arriving at Fulao Pass and settling down, Qin Ziling released a soul into the underground cave world.
The underground cave world on the Fulao Pass is restricted by the laws of space and heaven. Basically, the most powerful demon that can appear is the Great Demon General. At the same time, the most powerful person from the outside world who can enter can only be a grandmaster.
Logically speaking, Qin Ziling's soul has far surpassed the grandmaster level.
However, the soul is not restricted by the laws of space and can enter the underground cave world, but Qin Ziling's body can no longer enter.
