Martial Arts: My Talent Has No Limits

Chapter 12: Another Challenge

He was determined to get the Cold Jade Marrow.

Although the other party was the deputy head of the Four Seasons Pharmacy.

But given the Qin family's resources, Qin Jiu didn't believe there wasn't something that could sway the other party.

noon the next day.

Wang Yue retrieved the elixir as scheduled.

At the same time, news of the deputy hall master was also brought.

"Young Master, the other party has agreed to meet you at Zuixianlou, but the time is set for three days from now. What do you think...?"

"Three days later?"

Qin Jiu stopped practicing his stance training.

First, he took the handkerchief handed to him by a servant and wiped the sweat from his face, then he sat down in the pavilion.

He then frowned and asked, "Why three days later?"

He said the pharmacy had been busy these past few days and he needed to handle some internal affairs.

Wang Yue hesitated and said, "Young master, please forgive my bluntness, but that deputy hall master is no ordinary person. Since you are so eager for the Cold Jade Marrow, his actions may be a ploy to sell at a higher price, and he may ask for an exorbitant amount."

"It's alright."

"I'm not afraid of him asking for an exorbitant amount; I'm afraid he won't ask for anything at all."

Qin Jiu didn't care about the Dao.

Anyway, the son doesn't care about selling his grandfather's land.

As long as the price offered by the other party is within his acceptable range, then everything is worthwhile.

"Let's leave that matter aside for now."

"What about the pills made from the blood of third-tier spirit beasts?"

"Here."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yue immediately took out a porcelain bottle that looked like mutton fat jade from his bosom and said, "This pill is called the Jade Blood Tendon-Changing Pill. In addition to the blood of the Silver Frost Fox, it also contains many precious medicinal ingredients."

"A total of six pills were completed."

"Each pill has the effect of improving the tendon-strengthening and marrow-washing effects."

Qin Jiu took the porcelain bottle, somewhat surprised.

"So much spirit beast blood, and only six pills were made?"

"right."

Wang Yue thought he was worried that the Four Seasons Pharmacy was embezzling, so he explained, "Young master, rest assured, the Four Seasons Pharmacy has an excellent reputation. In addition, this old servant was present to watch both the beginning and the end of the refining process, and the alchemist did not embezzle any money."

"Aside from these six pills..."

"I also had them grind the bones of the Silver Frost Fox into powder, which was then boiled into a paste that can be used externally to accelerate skin exfoliation."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing the rest, Qin Jiu's eyes lit up.

He immediately summoned servants to prepare the medicinal paste.

For him, the more of these things that can speed up the skin smoothing process, the better.

The improvement of martial arts realm not only increases strength, but also means that one can bear more imprinted talents. From a certain point of view, the medicine powder is far better than this Jade Blood Tendon-Changing Pill.

After all, it's about reshaping one's fundamental nature.

It's not certain that you can mold someone into a martial arts prodigy.

Otherwise, how could the Han family be so short-sighted as to only want to cultivate the Silver Frost Fox to advance to the fourth rank, and then use it to help the Inner Strength break through?

Thinking this way.

Qin Jiu opened the porcelain bottle in his hand, poured out a pill and put it in his mouth. A faint herbal fragrance, mixed with a slightly bitter taste, instantly spread from the tip of his tongue.

Soon.

A warm sensation rose in my abdomen.

"Young master, after taking this pill, it is best to combine it with standing meditation to better absorb the medicinal power."

Wang Yue then offered a reminder.

Qin Jiu nodded, stepped out of the pavilion, and quickly began practicing the Dragon-Tiger Health-Preserving Posture.

But his expression quickly changed.

The warmth in my abdomen gradually grew hotter over time, and it quickly spread to my limbs and bones until my blood and qi were boiling, as if I had been thrown into a pot of boiling oil.

In the end, Qin Jiu couldn't take it anymore.

He ripped off his shirt and began practicing stance training repeatedly.

A strong wind suddenly howled inside the courtyard.

Inside the pavilion.

Qin Xudong, who had come to spar with the other person and hadn't said a word, cautiously asked a question after seeing this scene.

"Steward Wang, is there anything wrong with these pills?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yue merely glanced at him.

There was no reply.

Huang Jing, standing to the side, spoke up: "The pill itself is naturally not the problem. Reshaping one's physique requires going through the pain of tendon and bone extraction, which is a very normal thing."

His tone was tinged with envy.

In the path of martial arts, resources are of paramount importance, not innate talent.

Without money to nourish one's blood and energy, even with the best physique, one may not achieve great things even after a lifetime of practice.

on the contrary.

If one is extremely wealthy, improving one's physical constitution is not difficult.

Huang Jing thought of this.

My heart aches.

His physical constitution was quite good, but he came from the bottom of the gang and had to fight for resources. In the end, when his blood and energy were declining, he barely made it to the second level of cultivation. Now, seeing his master swallow the pills that reshaped his physical constitution like beans, he couldn't be more envious.

time flies.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Qin Jiu was drenched in sweat, his upper body naked like a boiled shrimp, a deep red, with visible white steam rising from his head.

"This pill is potent."

He stopped practicing his stance and let out a long breath.

The pills were surprisingly effective.

Although he didn't know if his physical constitution had changed, Qin Jiu could clearly sense that his qi and blood had become extremely condensed, and he was probably about to be able to perform the second breakthrough.

"An ordinary person can only take one of these pills a day at most."

"Too much will be overwhelming."

"But I'm different. I have the talent of reviving withered trees. Even if my meridians are burst, they can heal on their own."

Qin Jiu's eyes gleamed.

He was pondering.

At this moment, Wang Yue and the other two each brought over a wooden basin.

"Young master, this is the prepared medicinal ointment."

"Applying this to the whole body after practicing martial arts will enhance its medicinal effects."

"Then apply it to me."

Without further ado, Qin Jiu immediately instructed Huang Jing and Qin Xudong to help apply the ointment.

But the two haven't made a move yet.

He then stopped them again.

Are there any precautions I should take with this ointment?

"After applying the ointment, you should feel a tingling sensation on the skin. There is nothing else that requires special attention."

Qin Jiu nodded.

He gestured for the two to continue.

But soon his face started twitching.

When the ointment was applied to the body, at first one felt a comforting coolness, but soon this coolness turned into a stinging pain, as if a dense array of needles were simultaneously piercing the skin. As time went on, this stinging pain directly evolved into excruciating pain.

It seemed to penetrate deep into the bone marrow.

It made him let out a low growl.

"boom"

Almost simultaneously.

Qin Jiu's blood and qi surged, as if breaking through some kind of restraint, and exploded directly in his chest.

"Is this... a breakthrough in Qi and blood?"

Huang Jing and Qin Xudong looked at each other in bewilderment.

They were familiar with this sound.

This is a sign that the Qi and blood are breaking through the barrier.

Wang Yue, standing to the side, twitched his eyelids, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his cloudy old eyes.

He knew this was Qin Jiu's second attempt to break through his defenses.

It's clearer now that it's been a while since its first attempt...

Only two days have passed!

A storm raged in Wang Yue's heart. This was by no means as simple as breaking through by accumulating resources. No matter how many resources one had, if one's body could not absorb them, it would be of no use no matter how much one ate.

the other side.

Qin Jiu noticed the changes within himself.

He was immediately overjoyed, and even the pain in his body felt much lessened.

The main thing is.

The red seal has now undergone a new change.
