85: Okay, Fourth Uncle, follow me
"Accepting a Disciple on behalf of the Master?!"
Long Ye exclaimed directly, his father had been dead for decades, and now his Big Brother was actually doing this 'accepting a Disciple on behalf of the Master' thing?!
It wasn't that he thought it was impossible, but there was an indescribable awkwardness about it.
Originally, he thought he would have one more Junior Martial Nephew, but he never expected to have one more Junior Brother?
For a moment, he found it hard to accept.
Long Qihan was the same. Who would have thought that the person he was just fighting with and calling Brother Qin would become his Junior Martial Uncle?
The hardest one to accept was Long Yuesheng. He stared at his father with wide eyes, 'Are you backstabbing me?'
My good brother is suddenly going to become my Junior Martial Uncle?
Does this mean he'll really have to bow and call Qin Jiang 'Junior Martial Uncle' from now on?
"What? You don't agree?" Long Daosheng looked at the three of them.
Long Ye and Long Qihan shook their heads slightly, only Long Yuesheng nodded vigorously, his mouth open but no sound coming out.
"It's good that you have no objections. If you do, just say them." Long Daosheng smiled and nodded, raising his hand to crush the compressed air in front of Long Yuesheng's mouth, helping him close it.
He looked at Qin Jiang with a kind smile, "How have you considered it?"
Qin Jiang was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded, "Greetings, Senior Brother."
Long Daosheng smiled with satisfaction, flipped his palm, and a book appeared in his hand.
He handed it to Qin Jiang, "This is a copy of the Azure Fire Bronze Furnace Skill. You can read it first to understand a thing or two. Tomorrow, I'll have your Third Senior Brother take you to the Bronze Bell Sect to be registered in the True Disciple roster, then you can go to Azure Fire Peak to absorb Secret Martial Origin Energy."
Qin Jiang took the Azure Fire Bronze Furnace Skill, his heart couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Secret Martial arts, he finally saw Secret Martial arts.
"Alright, let Yuesheng take you to rest. Absorbing Secret Martial Origin Energy is a rather strenuous task, so you need to adjust your state to the best possible." Long Daosheng said with a smile.
Long Qihan, who was beside him, nodded in agreement, "It's not just rather strenuous, I slept for three days before recovering!"
Qin Jiang nodded, then looked at Long Yuesheng, "Brother Long, let's go."
Hiss~
Long Yuesheng gasped, noticing Long Daosheng's and Long Ye's gazes quietly falling on him, and immediately felt immense pressure.
"Alright, Fourth Junior Martial Uncle, please follow me."
Feeling the gazes disappear, he breathed a slight sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and led Qin Jiang away.
After the two left, Long Daosheng looked at Long Qihan, "Qihan, how do you feel? Your Fourth Junior Martial Uncle is a genuine True Martial Artist."
Long Qihan silently lowered his head, "It was this nephew who was a bit too proud. After becoming a Secret Martial Artist, I lost my sense of awe."
Long Daosheng nodded, "In the future, within the Bronze Bell Sect, you should communicate more with your Fourth Junior Martial Uncle. His understanding of Martial arts might not be much worse than mine."
Long Ye, who was on the side, raised an eyebrow, not expecting Long Daosheng to rate Qin Jiang so highly. One must know that Long Daosheng was a twelfth-stage Peak Secret Martial Artist.
And he had embarked on that most difficult path to Breakthrough, although he was forced to, it also showed how high his talent was.
After all, many twelfth-stage Peak Secret Martial Artists were stuck in this Realm, unable to advance even a bit!
To be able to embark on that path to Breakthrough was already proof of talent!
"This nephew understands. I will definitely communicate more with Fourth Junior Martial Uncle in the future."
That night, Long Manor, Xuanzi Courtyard, Jia Courtyard.
Long Manor covered an extremely vast area, with eight core courtyards named after the eight characters of 'Dragon fights in the wilderness, its blood is dark yellow'. Each courtyard was further divided into four courtyards: Jia, Yi, Bing, and Ding.
Qin Jiang sat in the courtyard, its scale and style almost identical to his Anxin Villa in Black Mountain City.
Long Yuesheng knew he was sentimental and specifically arranged for people to spend an afternoon setting it up.
Sitting in the pavilion, eating grapes, he read the Azure Fire Bronze Furnace Skill in his hand.
There were six layers in total, progressively forging one's own Azure Fire Bronze Furnace original form, just like the hundred-meter Bronze Furnace Long Ye had manifested that night.
In addition to these, there were also some points to note when absorbing Origin Energy.
Not long after, he looked at the panel,
【Current Martial arts】
Black Fiend Demon Statue Skill (Perfection) [95%]
Innate One Qi Art (Perfection) [78%]
Azure Fire Bronze Furnace Skill (Not yet initiated) (15 / 72000) [76%]
【Potential Points: 663.6】
A lot of Potential Points were needed. Even if all his current Potential Points were invested, it wouldn't be enough.
However, if each layer of this Azure Fire Bronze Furnace Skill required so much experience, then this Martial arts, not to mention world-destroying, would at least be enough to destroy a nation, and certainly not just a Secret Martial art.
It seemed to be related to the Secret Martial Origin Energy.
If his guess was correct, that Secret Martial Origin Energy should greatly reduce the experience required for initiation.
He didn't think too much about it; he would know tomorrow.
His gaze fell on the [76%] at the back. He hadn't expected the compatibility of this Azure Fire Bronze Furnace Skill with him to be so high.
With such high compatibility, even without using the panel to add points, he could cultivate it to the sixth layer in a relatively short period of time.
He looked up at the moon. Towards the end of the month, the moon had once again become round.
Black Mountain City, North of the city, Baiyun Clinic.
The Old Doctor carried his satchel and looked at the now vanished Baiyun Clinic, vaguely still seeing some traces of fire.
'Where is my clinic? Where is my big clinic?'
He was a bit bewildered. Recalling the past few days, he had only gone to pay respects on Shuanger's birthday.
But who would have thought that he would encounter a dense fog sealing the mountain, and when he returned, he even encountered something eerie?
If he hadn't re-cultivated the Longevity Five Qi Skill that Qin Jiang had given him earlier, he might not have returned.
And now, as soon as he returned, his home was gone?
Thump, thump, thump! Thump, thump, thump!
Hoofbeats echoed on the street. He looked back and saw a team of Red Tiger Gang Disciples returning from outside the city.
He quickly moved to the side, making way for them to pass.
Just as the team galloped past, the leader suddenly reined in his horse.
He looked back at the Old Doctor standing in front of the former site of the Baiyun Clinic, his eyes filled with a mix of shock and suspicion.
"Are you... Physician Baiyun?"
Meng An was a bit uncertain. After all, Physician Baiyun's tombstone was still standing in the North City Cemetery.
No, calculating the days, it seemed to be... the seventh day after death?!
Hiss~
Immediately, his hand rested on the hilt of his saber at his waist, and he looked at the Old Doctor warily.
The Old Doctor was slightly stunned; he didn't remember knowing this person in front of him.
"If you're referring to Physician Baiyun who used to run a clinic at this location, then that would be me. However, who are you?"
Meng An's eyes widened slightly, "It really is you, old man? You're not dead?"
The Old Doctor's expression changed slightly, "What do you mean by that? Could it be that this old man is already dead?"
"Bah, bah, bah! It was my mistake to speak like that." Meng An dismounted, walked to the Old Doctor, examined him, and even reached out to grasp the Old Doctor's wrist.
Only after confirming he was a living person did he completely relax, and began to explain: "Before, this clinic somehow caught fire, and we only found two charred bodies, so we thought you had perished.
Boss, that is, Boss Qin Jiang, heard that you had a conflict with a fox demon. In a fit of rage, he killed some of the demons in the city, including that fox demon, um, to pay respects to you."
Meng An awkwardly shrank his head. Saying 'paying respects' to someone in front of them was truly a bit presumptuous.
The Old Doctor was stunned upon hearing this, "That fox demon is dead?"
Meng An scratched his head, "It didn't explain itself either, so it's not our fault."
The Old Doctor's eyes blurred, and he thought to himself that this was not good. That was a fox from Qingqiu. Its death here might cause some trouble.
It seemed he would have to make a trip to Qingqiu.
In the early morning, Qin Jiang pushed open the door, stretched, and breathed in the fresh air of the courtyard.
"Oh, you're up quite early? How do you feel? Can you absorb Origin Energy?" Long Ye's figure appeared at the doorway.
Qin Jiang smiled, "Of course, I feel great."
