Martial Arts: My Talent Has No Limits

Chapter 26 Testing the Sword

"What kind of martial art is this?"

Qin Jiu frowned and asked.

Fu Hanchuan glanced at it and said indifferently, "It is a brutal method of body tempering. It seems to be quick to achieve results, but once you enter the inner strength stage, you will die suddenly. Even if you do not break through the realm, the cultivator will not live for more than half a century."

"However, those who practice this skill..."

"One breakthrough per month."

"If your Qin family wants to raise assassins, this is the right choice."

"Then we will do as Commander Fu says."

Qin Jiu said expressionlessly.

Fu Hanchuan assumed he was just being stubborn, chuckled, and went into the armory's inner room to take out a thick book and throw it at him.

He took the secret manual.

Without saying a word, he turned and walked out of the armory.

......

Back at the Qin family home.

Qin Jiu immediately spoke to Wang Yue.

"Uncle Wang, go to the accounting office and get some more pills. Tonight's events may not go too smoothly. Also, be careful of Tang Yu, Jiang Lin, Ji Changqing, and that scarred-faced strongman from the Demon Suppression Division."

Why is that?

Wang Yue was taken aback.

Qin Jiu recalled the black light he had seen earlier, and a shadow of gloom appeared in his eyes, but he said, "I have a bad feeling. You'd better be careful. If nothing happens, that's good. Otherwise, you can be prepared in advance."

Martial artists have keen senses.

Some people, when faced with major events, will inexplicably have a sudden urge, an almost predictable intuition.

Wang Yue then heard Qin Jiu's instructions.

His expression immediately became serious.

"This old servant will be careful."

"I hope my hunch is wrong."

Qin Jiu sighed softly.

That county magistrate was very domineering.

There was no way to refuse this matter from the beginning, and now that the die is cast, the only thing to do is to ask Wang Yue to act as cautiously as possible.

Thinking of this.

He went to the accounting office in person again.

They prepared a large quantity of all the pills that could be used by internally strengthened martial artists, especially healing pills, so many that they could eat them as a meal.

"That's enough, that's enough."

Wang Yue smiled wryly and said, "You're giving this old servant so many pills? Are you expecting me to carry them into battle against demons...?"

"And also, that scarred guy you mentioned before."

"This old servant has thought about it over and over, but I can't figure out why we should be wary of him. That man is a confidant of the county magistrate. I had dealings with him quite a bit in the past, and he is a fairly upright person."

"The county magistrate's confidant?"

Qin Jiu frowned.

Since I sensed malice from this person, it means that this person must be threatening me and even the Qin family.

But if he were a confidant of the county magistrate.

Then why the county magistrate?

And Fu Hanchuan doesn't have this situation?

"really."

Wang Yue, unaware of his thoughts, continued, "Didn't you ask me to investigate the Fishing Gang and the Firewood Gang and discover that they seemed to have people from the county government behind them? Actually, I found out that this person was keeping an eye on the members of the Fishing Gang and the Firewood Gang. But then I thought about it again, and he is an upright person, even somewhat righteous, so perhaps he is arresting criminals."

"hiss......"

Qin Jiu's eye twitched slightly.

I subconsciously took a deep breath.

"Uncle Wang, you are going out with the magistrate tonight, so go back and rest as soon as possible."

"As for the people I just mentioned."

"You'd better be careful."

......

After letting Wang Yue leave.

Qin Jiu casually placed the secret manual he had brought back on the table.

He immediately took the knife and went to the courtyard, quickly practicing his stance training, intending to calm his mind before looking at the situation again.

Under the scorching sun.

The blades flashed with a cold light, crisscrossing each other.

A strong wind howled, its sound never ceasing.

"The key to forging bones and generating internal strength lies in the word 'forging,' using qi and blood to temper the limbs and bones until internal strength is abundant in the circulating qi and blood. That is the day I achieve the second stage of mastery."

"However, whether it's the Dragon-Tiger Health-Preserving Posture..."

"Or perhaps it's a domineering stance training method."

"There is no significant difference in bone forging either; it can only be achieved through painstaking, gradual progress, which is far too slow."

Qin Jiu's vital energy and blood were abundant.

He held the staff in one hand and pushed it along.

While pondering how to accelerate my self-improvement.

"I have no shortage of pills, precious medicines, or spirit beast meat. Now I have also obtained a body-strengthening martial art from the Demon Suppression Division. If I combine it with the Withered Tree Rejuvenation technique and the aid of pills, I will surely make rapid progress. This technique can also be carried out at the same time as the Blood Fiend Refining technique."

He seemed lost in thought.

The internal energy within his body is now only the thickness of two fingers and about the length of a palm, but the Yin energy it contains is so powerful that even a second-level martial artist like Huang Jing would not be able to withstand a single palm strike from him.

If we continue refining...

The power of internal strength will inevitably undergo a qualitative transformation.

......

Qin Jiu composed himself.

After practicing the stance training twice more.

He then walked to the pavilion and sat down, swallowing a Blood-Strengthening Pill to activate his Blood Fiend while flipping through the Taiyin Horizontal Body Training manual.

This martial art summarizes the three major training methods of martial arts as horizontal training.

And after the three great refinements.

This can be summarized as strengthening oneself internally.

However, the methods were not only crude, but also somewhat insidious.

Firstly, it requires mixing iron sand with five poisonous substances, repeatedly hammering the skin with external force, and then soaking in a specially made medicinal bath to counteract the five poisonous substances. If this is persisted for a month, the skin can be successfully resurfaced.

After that comes bone forging.

One must ingest the inner core of a demon, guiding its energy through breathing techniques to temper the limbs and bones...

"These specific five poisonous substances won't be easy to find in a short time, and as for demon inner cores, with demons carving up the area outside the city recently, there should be quite a few people selling them inside... but is it absolutely necessary to have the 'Dansha' (a type of internal energy)?"

Qin Jiu looked thoughtful.

He possesses a considerable amount of Yin Sha power refined from Blood Sha within him; if this could replace Dan Sha...

Thinking of this.

Qin Jiu followed the breathing guidance method of this martial art.

He gathered the Yin energy within his body into a ball and then slowly wrapped it around his right arm.

*Pfft*

In just a moment.

His arm jerked, and the skin, which even ordinary swords could hardly cut through, quickly cracked like a net, oozing bright red blood.

Qin Jiu's expression remained unchanged.

Driven by the miraculous growth of the withered tree, the cracks healed rapidly once again.

In just one exchange, he sensed that the internal energy within his body, which was as thick as two fingers, had increased slightly.

"It really works."

A glint of light flashed in Qin Jiu's eyes.

He then stopped practicing standing meditation altogether and focused entirely on refining his qi and blood while guiding the yin energy to temper his limbs and bones.

......

time flies.

In the blink of an eye, the bright moon hangs high in the sky.

At the main gate of the Qin residence, Wang Yue, carrying a sword, disappeared into the night alone.

Qin Jiu watched his figure disappear.

They did not return to the east wing.

Instead, he turned and walked to his own secret vault, taking out a long, azure-blue sword. The sword was cold and rough to the touch, weighed nearly a hundred pounds, and resembled a Mo Dao (a type of long sword), about seven feet long, which could only be held at an angle.

This is the weapon that Qin Guihong used during his lifetime.

Its grade is higher than the one Wang Yue has.

Most importantly, it's heavy enough.

It's tough enough.

'Buzz~'

Qin Jiu swung the weight a little to get used to it.

Then I went back and changed my clothes.

After leaving the Qin residence, they headed straight for the outer city, towards the location of the fishing gang.
