67: Is the world of martial arts still a world of martial arts if there is no fighting and killing?

【Dragon Snake Twin-Headed Chain Spear: Not initiated yet—one hundred refinements daily, initiation in a thousand days.】

【Promotion Conditions: ...Due to Double-Handed Mantis Sword, promotion conditions optimized.】

【Optimization successful!】

【Promotion Conditions: 1: Flick the Chain Spear one million times. 2: Chain Spear wrapped around the body for ten days.】

Chu Qing... Good heavens, after optimization, these conditions are even harder than achieving Major Achievement in Mantis Sword.

What if it wasn't optimized?

He dared not imagine.

A moment later, he bid farewell to the Armless Master.

The Armless Master hesitated, then said, "When I was young, I forged a Chain Spear in the armory."

"One day, if you can learn the Secret Inheritance overlord spear and are willing to help me kill someone... take it!"

Chu Qing didn't immediately agree, but instead chuckled, "Master, you didn't have a spear technique back then, yet you forged a Twin-Headed Chain Spear?"

The Armless Master sighed with emotion, "I... I was too confident back then, thinking I could succeed."

"I even held a celebration banquet in advance."

"The result... it became a funeral banquet; fortunately, the guests still ate."

Chu Qing... After bidding farewell to the Armless Master, Chu Qing said he would first inspect the quality of the weapon, then headed straight to the armory.

This place was only open to Inner Courtyard disciples.

He had to register with his identity token and press his Seal before he could enter.

On rows of shelves, there were boxes of varying sizes.

A servant specifically led the way:

"Young Master, this row is for sabers, that row is for swords..."

Chu Qing asked directly, "Where are the Chain Spears?"

The servant was stunned for a moment, then quickly pulled out a small notebook to search.

Finally, he led him to a corner, pointed to a solitary shelf, and said:

"There are still ten Chain Spears here."

Chu Qing checked and found that all the boxes had names on them.

Soon, he found the Twin-Headed Chain Spear left by the Armless Master.

The name on the box was—Dragon Snake Twin-Headed Chain Spear!

Click!

The box opened.

Inside, there was a faint medicinal fragrance and thick oiled paper.

The servant carefully disassembled it.

One minute later:

A dark green Chain Spear appeared.

The item was very ordinary.

Chu Qing reached out and used Eagle Claw Skill to pinch one of the links.

Over sixty Iron Tendons were employed; although he couldn't crush iron into mud, he could leave an imprint on metal.

However, the iron ring remained completely still.

Toad Skill activated, drawing on the large tendons from other Cultivation Techniques.

In an instant, over two hundred large tendons augmented the Eagle Claw Skill.

If this force were applied to his greatsword, which cost a thousand taels, it could instantly crush the iron into mud.

But the iron ring, no thicker than a chopstick, still remained completely still.

Good weapon!

What a Dragon Snake Twin-Headed Chain Spear!

Chu Qing liked it.

He pulled it out casually and found that the Chain Spear was very long.

A normal Chain Spear is 3.5 meters long.

But this one was a full seven meters long.

The spearhead alone was a foot long, usable as a short sword.

Weighing it in his hand, this slender Chain Spear actually weighed around twenty jin, comparable to a greatsword.

Such a heavy soft weapon would definitely be difficult to control.

"No wonder just getting initiated takes a thousand days."

"Fortunately, I have a profession panel."

Chu Qing carried the weapon and immediately returned to his dormitory.

He eagerly took off his clothes and, following the techniques in the Cultivation Technique, wrapped the Dragon Snake Twin-Headed Chain Spear around his body.

The chain coiled, with the two spearheads resting tightly against his arms.

【Chain Spear Wrapped Around Body + 1】

The profession panel flickered.

Chu Qing smiled.

"As long as the Armless Master doesn't speak, no one will know I'm practicing this unique weapon."

"Once this unique weapon is initiated, it will be enough to secretly kill some people."

Noon:

He wrote a letter to Madam Jin, saying that he was doing very well.

He repeatedly urged her not to worry.

He also said:

"If anything happens, write to me immediately."

"I will receive it at the first possible moment."

"If anyone bullies me, I will deal with them."

Finally, he sealed it with wax and pressed his Seal.

The maid said Madam Jin would receive it in an hour at most.

A moment later, after delivering the letter, the maid brought over the food.

She also brought an extra large box and said:

"Young Master, the task has been completed. This is your item."

Chu Qing was delighted, ignoring his meal, and immediately opened the box.

Two Red Snakes fiercely poked their heads out, biting.

The maid gasped.

Chu Qing laughed heartily, casually pinching the Red Snakes, pulling out their fangs, and directly tying them to his legs.

【Red Snake Wrapped Around Leg + 1】

"I have the weapon technique, and Red Snake Leg is about to Break through its limits."

"Next up are Iron Fist and Iron Hand."

He lacked no basic Cultivate resources.

He also had some Advanced resources.

Coupled with the Cultivation Technique about to Break through its limits.

His progress was visible to the naked eye.

However, he was still not satisfied.

Because:

What he wanted was not Iron Tendons, but Golden Tendons.

"The limit of 365 Golden Tendons is the King's Dao."

"And to quickly Cultivate Golden Tendons, one must have a luminous pearl."

"Tonight... I'll discuss the luminous pearl matter with Cui Moyang and the others."

In the afternoon, Chu Qing didn't go to class; instead, he stayed in his room, his fingers flying, frantically striking the spearhead.

Clang, clang, clang.

The sound of metal clashing was incessant.

Focusing wholeheartedly on increasing the count, the efficiency was very high.

"I'll strive to reach the required count within three days, then Break through the limits of Iron Fist."

Breaking through the limits of Iron Fist only required striking iron blocks a hundred thousand times.

Iron Hand required ten days of burning in fierce flames, which was too time-consuming, so he put it last.

Chu Qing arranged his time for the next few days to be completely full.

As dusk fell, someone knocked on the door.

Chu Qing frowned.

He paused his Cultivation, opened a peephole, and saw it was Cui Moyang and the others.

He opened the door.

Cui Moyang and the others poured in.

Chu Qing smiled, "I was just about to look for you all."

Qingfeng cupped his fists and said, "Lead Big Brother, just give the order if you need anything."

Chu Qing... "I want to ask you all what your plan is for quarrying."

Qingfeng said, "We discussed it this afternoon. We'll put up the money and hire people to quarry."

"You arrange a supervisor, and just wait to receive your share of luminous pearls."

Chu Qing nodded.

Ximen suddenly said, "It's just that, being new here, we don't know where to start quarrying."

Chu Qing was silent.

The Crowd looked puzzled.

After a long while, he finally said, "You have no clue at all?"

The Crowd all shook their heads.

Chu Qing sighed:

"Everyone, I've already pulled out Martial Instructor's head, do we still need to think about where to quarry for luminous pearls?"

"Hire people, and wherever there are many people, go quarry there."

"And gather all the quarry workers along the way."

The Crowd hesitated.

Nangong said sweetly, "Qing Ge, Jianghu isn't just about fighting and killing; there's also human relations."

"We're quarrying... for luminous pearls, not to make enemies."

Chu Qing smiled.

In Shiji County, all the Fortified Manor Powerful families already hated him to the bone.

From the moment he stepped into the Inner Courtyard, enemies were everywhere.

"If there's no fighting and killing in Jianghu, is it still Jianghu?"

"Shiji Mountain, every mine pit, every location, has an owner."

"If the owner doesn't agree, who dares to quarry?"

The Crowd frowned.

They also understood the principle... which was why they hoped to use human relations to solve the trouble and find a Breakthrough.

Chu Qing continued:

"If you think human relations can handle it, then use human relations."

"Ten days... In ten days, at least three thousand people will be quarrying luminous pearls for us."

"In a month, at least thirty thousand people will be quarrying luminous pearls for us."

"If you can't do it... you don't need to give me a share of luminous pearls, and you don't need to exchange for my Secret Inheritance luminous pearls; you can just do your own thing."

The Crowd...
