102: Great harvest!
Examining the Golden Light Spirit Liquid in his hand, there was a subtle feeling, similar to Azure Fire Source Power and Black Death Source Power.
Is this the Golden Light Spirit Liquid?
A treasure rumored to cleanse the Impurities from the Physical Body, it contains a dilute Golden Light Source Power and is said to have some effect even on high-level Secret Martial Artists.
He opened the bottle and drank the Spirit Liquid in one gulp.
Instantly, a warm current surged into his limbs and bones, feeling like gentle flames burning his body.
A moment later, the warm current disappeared, and Qin Jiang opened his eyes, somewhat surprised.
It's over?
He slightly raised his right hand, and tiny greyish-white particles gradually gathered at the tip of his index finger, forming a greyish-white bead the size of a fingernail.
This was the full effect of the Golden Light Spirit Liquid; it had refined Impurities the size of a fingernail from his Physical Body.
With a wave of his hand, the greyish-white bead turned into dust and vanished. He carefully felt the changes in his body; his Physical Body strength had increased by about one percent.
Hmm. His Physical Body was too strong, at least for a sixth-rank Secret Martial Artist, it was ridiculously strong.
During the day, he could even withstand the attacks of the Black Death Sword head-on with his Physical Body.
And that was only a slight display of his Physical Body's power.
He looked at the jade bottle in his hand with some disappointment; regardless, it was still somewhat useful.
It was just that the quantity was too small. If he could absorb the Golden Light Source Power from the Golden Light Subduing Demon Bell once, it might allow his Physical Body to undergo a transformation.
Liu Family ancestral land, Ancestral Shrine.
“Crack!”, “Crack!”, “Crack!”
The whip lashed against flesh, making a harsh sound. Liu Chenyi knelt shirtless before the Liu Family ancestral tablets.
Liu Xiangyi whipped him again and again, his entire back becoming a bloody mess.
Deep in his eyes, resentment lurked, but he showed no trace of it.
Although this whip caused little physical harm and no lasting after-effects, it made the recipient feel bone-deep pain.
However, he didn't care; he had forgotten when he started getting used to it.
“Do you know your mistake!” Liu Xiangyi’s voice rang in his ears.
“Your son knows his mistake.”
“Where did you go wrong!”
“I disgraced the Liu Family.”
“Foolish! Your mistake was overestimating yourself!”
“Your son understands.”
Liu Xiangyi put down the whip, his face stern, showing no hint of fatherly affection.
“Since you understand, then leave. Do not let your father bring you here again!”
“Your son takes his leave,” Liu Chenyi said, and with a flash of Azure Fire on his body, all his wounds were instantly cauterized.
Putting on his clothes, he left directly.
After he left, Liu Xiangyi wiped the blood from the whip and put it back in its original place.
“Liu Xiangyi, you’ve gone a bit too far.” A male voice suddenly sounded behind him, and then a figure appeared behind him, wearing a jade mask with the ancient Huai Country character ‘San’ carved on his forehead.
Liu Xiangyi jolted, quickly turned around, and cupped his hands, “I didn’t know Lord Yu San would grace us with his presence. Please forgive me.”
Yu San made no movement, “You haven’t answered what I just said.”
A flicker of panic appeared in Liu Xiangyi’s eyes, “I am also thinking of the Pavilion Master’s grand plan. If mistakes are not corrected, they may lead to great disaster in the future!”
“But he also carries the Pavilion Master’s Bloodline. Although he is just a vessel, it is not your place to discipline him. Do not forget your place,” Yu San said.
Liu Xiangyi swallowed, his face full of dread, “Yes, yes, yes! This humble one understands, this humble one understands.”
Yu San nodded, “How are things progressing?”
“Everything has been fully arranged. Decades of preparation, absolutely foolproof!” Liu Xiangyi said.
“Whoosh!”
Yu San threw a jade box to Liu Xiangyi, “Hmph! It better be. I will arrange for someone to conduct a thorough inspection. If there are any problems, you can forget about the next Golden Jade Gu!”
With that, his figure disappeared from the Ancestral Shrine.
Liu Xiangyi immediately knelt, still full of dread and respect even though the person was no longer there, “Rest assured, my Lord, there will be no problems whatsoever!”
Then he got up, opened the jade box, which contained a Medicinal Pill as white as jade. From its appearance alone, it looked like a top-grade jade bead.
But he knew that this Medicinal Pill contained a Golden Jade Gu worm, which was the Jin Yu Pavilion's means of controlling high-level Secret Martial Artists like them.
After taking the Medicinal Pill, the dread on his face disappeared. Walking out of the Ancestral Shrine, he raised his hand and beckoned, and the butler quickly came before him.
He took out a packet of medicinal powder from hisPregnant and handed it to the butler, “Go and give this medicinal powder to the young master to apply to his wounds.”
“Yes, Master,” the butler replied and was about to leave.
“Oh, by the way, how has the young master been these past few days? Is he still refusing to eat?” Liu Xiangyi suddenly asked.
The butler was silent for a few seconds before nodding slightly, “He still refuses to eat, but he did eat a few bites of the snowflake cake that was sent.”
Liu Xiangyi’s face showed a hint of joy, “Then buy more pastries tomorrow and see which one he likes.”
“Yes, Master, I understand.”
“Good, go. You personally apply the medicine for Chenyi. Don’t let him sulk; I was just angry for a moment.”
After the butler left, Liu Xiangyi looked up at the bright moon in the sky, his eyes deep.
The next day, Eastern Market Ancient Dragon Pavilion.
“Fourth Master, we have collected a batch of the items you requested. Would you like to take a look?” Shopkeeper Li Sheng smiled as he offered a cup of tea.
He had heard that although this Fourth Master usually kept a very low profile, he had shone brilliantly in yesterday’s True Disciple ranking competition!
He had crushed all the True Disciples with an absolutely invincible posture, becoming the new Lord Qinghuo!
It was precisely because of this that he had hastily sent someone to invite Qin Jiang over.
Qin Jiang took the tea and took a sip, “Good, let’s go see.”
The two walked through the corridor and arrived at a room door. Li Sheng took out a key and unlocked the door.
This was a place he had specially prepared so that Qin Jiang could see the items immediately, without having to move them from various locations.
“They are all here, but the time is still a bit short. Currently, only a small portion of the Forty-Nine Precincts has been searched, so not too many have been collected.
If Fourth Master gives me two more months, I can guarantee to collect all the antiques in Ningan City!” Li Sheng promised.
Although the total value of all the antiques in Ningan City was an unimaginable figure, even a hundred thousand taels would not be enough to acquire them.
But don't forget the identity of their Ancient Dragon Pavilion; they were backed by the Long Family, one of Ningan's three prominent families!
Coupled with the title of Lord Qinghuo, they could completely borrow other people's antiques first, and then if Qin Jiang liked them, they would discuss the price.
In this way, let alone a hundred thousand taels, not even a thousand taels of silver would be needed!
“Good, thank you for your trouble. I’ll go in and take a look,” Qin Jiang said.
“Yes! Fourth Master, please! This humble one will wait outside!” Li Sheng said with a smile.
Entering the room, he saw various antiques and old objects neatly arranged, categorized by era and type.
In terms of quantity alone, it far exceeded his previous visit.
In addition, bronze wares from the Ancient Yu Country were placed separately in a corner, mainly various types of Dings and masks, clearly of extremely high quality!
A moment later, Qin Jiang put down the last bronze face armor.
【Potential Points: 866.2】
It increased by over eight hundred! It was a great harvest!
With this, he could not only raise the Black Fiend Sky Burning Demonic Scripture and the Black Death Rebirth Sword to the Perfection level, but he might even be able to deduce another Secret Martial Art!
Whoosh~
He took a deep breath, suppressing the joy in his heart, and planned to return quickly.
Walking out of the room, Li Sheng had already prepared hot tea, “Fourth Master, are you satisfied?”
“Haha! Satisfied! Very satisfied! Is the twenty thousand taels enough? I’ll have someone send more money later!” Qin Jiang laughed loudly.
It was just a bit of money; how could it compare to his own Dao path?
“Fourth Master, what are you saying? The money is completely sufficient! We absolutely cannot let Fourth Master spend any more!”
Li Sheng said in a panic. He was still worried about how to return the twenty thousand taels to Qin Jiang; he couldn't ask for any more!
“No need to be polite, it’s settled then. I’ll have someone send it over this afternoon, and you add more manpower!” Qin Jiang said with a smile.
He hadn't expected Li Sheng's efficiency to be so strong, which truly surprised him.
“Good, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head back first. If anything comes up, you can find me at Cloud Crane Courtyard.”
Saying that, he was about to leave.
“Fourth Master, wait!” Li Sheng hurriedly called out.
“What is it?” Qin Jiang turned his head and asked.
Li Sheng quickly approached, taking out a parchment scroll from hisPregnant.
“Fourth Master, do you remember that small bronze Ding from before? Although we haven’t found its origin this time, we had an unexpected discovery!
Look, this is a partial map, recording the location of an Ancient Yu Country sacrificial ground!”
Went out for a bit, just sorted out the outline. Two updates today, back to normal tomorrow.
