18: Chapter 18: If your aptitude isn't enough, use talismans to make up for it.

Only two days had passed, and Qin Mo discovered that the pain in the web of his hand had eased by more than half, and he could even move it in a small range.

Qin Yin also felt that the edges of her wounds had begun to heal, and the newly grown granulation tissue was pink and tender.

She was stunned for a moment.

This speed was not right.

The third day.

Qin Mo's injured hand could already move normally, and he secretly tried it out.

He found that he didn't feel the weakness the doctor mentioned.

Qin Yin's hand also recovered unexpectedly fast, and the wound on her palm had already scabbed over. She tried to clench her fist and found that she could exert force.

Moreover, whether it was an illusion or not, she felt that the strength of her clenching fist seemed to be a bit greater than before she was injured.

The fourth day.

The brother and sister came to the doctor's house.

The doctor untied the cloth strips on the two people's wounds.

Then he froze.

At this moment, the wound on the web of Qin Mo's hand only had a shallow red scar left.

He turned his head to look at Qin Yin.

Qin Yin silently stretched out her hand.

The doctor took her hand and lowered his head to check.

The wound on her palm similarly only had a circle of a shallow red scar left.

He looked at it over and over again several times.

The doctor fell silent.

He raised his head, looked at Qin Mo, and then looked at Qin Yin, the expression on his face extremely wonderful.

"This is impossible..."

He said with an incredulous look.

"This old man has practiced medicine for forty years, and I have never seen such a situation."

Qin Mo gave a chuckle.

"Doctor, take a look at this again."

He walked over to the load-bearing wooden pillar in the center of the room, rolled up his sleeves, and clenched his previously injured fist.

"Wait, wait, wait, wait!"

The doctor's expression changed.

"What are you doing~"

Qin Mo smashed his fist against the pillar.

"Bang!"

A muffled sound rang out.

The entire room trembled slightly.

The dust on the roof beams fell rustling down, and the medicine basket hanging on the wall swayed before dropping to the ground with a clack sound.

The doctor stared dumbfounded at that pillar.

On the pillar, there was an extra fist-sized dent.

Wood splinters were upturned, and cracks spread from the edge of the dent to the surroundings.

Qin Mo withdrew his fist and moved his fingers.

"Doctor, this hand of mine can still exert force."

The doctor fell silent once more.

After a long while, he opened his mouth to ask.

"What method did you two use in the end?"

"It is the protection of Lord Qinling."

Qin Yin said straightforwardly.

"Lord Qinling?"

The doctor was stunned.

Of course he knew the divine statue in that temple.

It was just that he had seen too much life and death in his life, and did not believe that there were gods in this world.

But at this moment, looking at the lively and active appearance of these two young people who should have been left with chronic ailments,

he suddenly felt that he really should go take a look at the temple.

After Qin Yin and Qin Mo walked out of the doctor's house, they walked toward the direction of the temple.

After the two entered the temple, they walked up to the divine statue, lit three sticks of incense, and inserted them into the censer.

Green smoke rose.

Qin Yin took two steps back and knelt on the futon.

Qin Mo followed suit and knelt by her side.

"Thank you for the protection of Lord Qinling, the believer Qin Yin has specially come to fulfill her vow."

Qin Yin muttered.

[incense points +3]

[incense points +3]

Qin Ling inside the shrine looked at the brother and sister kneeling before him, feeling the changes in them caused by that qi and blood talisman.

On one hand, the qi and blood talisman improved their self-healing ability, allowing the wounds to heal without leaving any sequelae.

On the other hand, the qi and blood talisman also enhanced the two people's innate qi and blood, making them obviously more vigorous than before.

The effect of the qi and blood talisman was even better than he had anticipated.

Since that was the case, Qin Ling intended to let the two try whether they could practice martial arts.

...

Early the next morning, Qin Yin opened her eyes.

She looked down into her arms and found that there were two more books in her embrace.

She picked up these two books to take a look.

"Snow-Slicing Saber Technique" and "Wind-Thunder Spear Technique".

After opening the books and flipping through a few pages, Qin Yin's breathing became hurried.

She remembered that these were the two martial arts manuals given to her by Lord Qinling in her dream last night.

"Sister, it's time for breakfast."

Qin Mo knocked on the door to call Qin Yin to get up, only to find Qin Yin holding two books in her hands.

"Sister, how many years has it been since you touched a book? What kind of scholar are you pretending to be holding two books now?"

He grinned and said.

"These are martial arts manuals given by Lord Qinling."

Qin Yin handed one of them, the "Wind-Thunder Spear Technique", to Qin Mo.

Qin Mo's voice abruptly stopped. He lowered his head to look at the book in his hand, and then looked at Qin Yin.

"Given by Lord Qinling?"

"Mhm."

Qin Mo held that book with both hands, treasuring it like a fragile piece of porcelain.

After quite a while, he spoke in a muffled voice.

"Sister, do you remember the matter from a few years ago when people from the county came?"

Qin Yin did not speak.

Of course she remembered.

That was a few years ago, when several constables came from the county, saying they wanted to test the qi and blood of children in each village to see if there were any raw materials for practicing martial arts.

She and Qin Mo had both been tested as well.

When the results came out, although the qi and blood values of the two were higher than ordinary people, they could not reach the conditions for martial artists.

"Insufficient qi and blood, not material for practicing martial arts."

Those constables couldn't even be bothered to give them a second look and directly dismissed them.

Qin Mo was still young back then and didn't quite understand.

Only after growing up did he understand that on that day they were judged as useless trash.

"Sister."

Qin Mo's voice lowered.

"With the qi and blood we were born with, we have no way of becoming martial artists. Can the two of us manage to practice these martial arts manuals?"

Qin Yin also understood Qin Mo's meaning.

Having been judged as unable to become martial artists, there was no reason they could cultivate these martial arts manuals.

"That may be so, but this was bestowed by Lord Qinling, so we must give it a try."

Qin Yin raised her head and said.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's practice!"

Qin Mo grinned and laughed.

The two immediately began to circulate the qi and blood in their bodies according to the diagrams on the manual.

Qin Ling's divine split-spirit leaned against the wall, crossing his arms as he watched the pair of siblings clumsily cultivate.

They practiced very earnestly.

Qin Mo held that book, the "Wind-Thunder Spear Technique", looking at it over and over again, and after finishing it, continuously tried to circulate the qi and blood within his body.

Qin Yin was the same, holding that book, the "Snow-Slicing Saber Technique", while circulating the qi and blood within her body.

Qin Ling, leaning against the wall on the side, also learned from the two's previous conversation that they did not have the talent to become martial artists before.

Therefore, he also wanted to see if his qi and blood talisman could elevate the two's talent to the point where they could practice martial arts.

If it were possible...

He could foresee how rare a treasure his qi and blood talisman was in this world!

After all, in this world, qi and blood were an innate threshold.

With insufficient innate qi and blood, one could never even hope to touch the threshold of the martial way for the rest of their life.

Half an hour.

Qin Ling did not leave.

He just leaned against that wall and watched.

With his perceptive power, he could clearly see that the qi and blood inside Qin Yin's body had already begun to circulate.

Having been nourished by the qi and blood talisman for several days, the qi and blood inside Qin Yin's body was now a cut above what it was before.

Finally, Qin Yin exhaled a breath of foul air, feeling the qi and blood within her body slowly circulate and become grasped by her.

"Huhu hu~"

She kept panting heavily, sweat breaking out on the surface of her body, and this sweat was instantly evaporated.

The room felt just like a steaming sauna.

"I can feel the circulation of qi and blood in the manual!"

Qin Yin's eyes lit up.

She could feel the blood slowly flowing inside her body, as well as the power of qi and blood hidden within her limbs and bones.

She could even feel that qi and blood talisman hidden deep within her body!

This qi and blood talisman was continuously nourishing and enhancing her power of qi and blood.

The divine talisman bestowed by Lord Qinling actually had such an effect!

Qin Mo looked at this scene before him, his voice floating as if in a dream.

Then Qin Mo spoke, his voice floating as if in a dream.

"Sister, can the two of us practice martial arts?"

"Mhm."

Qin Yin nodded heavily, the look of shock in her eyes almost overflowing.

Qin Ling looked at the incredulous expressions on the faces of the brother and sister, knowing that the qi and blood talisman had indeed enhanced their aptitude in the Qi and Blood Martial Arts.

Born talent not enough?

It doesn't matter.

Talismans make up for it.
