infodatos Chapter 5 Knocking on the Blood Barrier
Chapter 5 Knocking on the Blood Barrier
"The Han family?"
Qin Jiu lost interest in learning martial arts.
With a deep frown, he walked to the pavilion and sat down.
"Uncle Wang, what are your thoughts on this marriage alliance?"
He looked at Wang Yue beside him.
The latter is the only internal expert in the Qin family. If something happens to the Qin family, this old steward who has followed Qin Guihong for many years will be needed to stand at the forefront and protect them. His opinion is naturally important.
Upon hearing this, Wang Yue sighed and said, "This old servant dares to speak."
"Whether it's the Han family, the Qian family, or the Zhao family, let's not even talk about the grudges they've accumulated from being suppressed by the Qin family for so many years. Just the Qin family's businesses outside the county, and even the recipe for raising spirit beasts in the Hundred Beast Garden, are things that everyone in the county envies. How could they possibly let go of such a good opportunity?"
"Whether or not a marriage alliance is formed is a matter of life and death for the Qin family."
"After all, each family has quite a few experts at the Strong Realm. If they all attack together, this old servant will be unable to hold them off alone. But if the Qin family and the Han family form a marriage alliance, all parties will have to think twice. With my physique, it's still easy for this old servant to take away two martial artists of the same realm. With the addition of the Han family, the situation should be able to stabilize."
"But once the marriage is arranged, all of the Qin family's assets, as well as the secret recipe for spirit beasts, will inevitably be devoured by the Han family."
"The pros and cons of this matter should be weighed by the young master and the old lady."
Qin Jiu fell silent.
In fact.
In the past few days, some people outside have already taken action, testing the Qin family's attitude.
If you don't make a decision soon...
The Qin family will inevitably face a predicament of being surrounded by enemies on all sides.
"That's enough."
"We need to buy some time."
Qin Jiu's eyes were dark and unfathomable.
After a moment's thought.
He stepped out of the pavilion again, then squatted down and slowly pushed the Dragon-Tiger Health-Preserving Posture.
Ultimately, in this world, strength speaks for itself.
Perhaps it was because of the sense of urgency in my heart.
As soon as Qin Jiu started practicing the stance training, he became completely immersed in martial arts. He ignored everything around him, and all he could hear was his rhythmic breathing, rising and falling with his movements.
As time goes by.
This breathing gradually became heavy, eventually evolving into the illusion of a tiger's roar and a dragon's cry.
A burning heat also exploded from his chest.
"Is this... the Bloodstained Pass?"
Not far away.
Wang Yue's eyes showed astonishment.
At this moment, Qin Jiu was covered in sweat, his hair was sticking to his face, and his face was flushed with a reddish hue.
This is a manifestation of qi and blood rushing upwards.
It is also a sign that a martial artist has broken through the Blood Barrier and entered the First Refinement Realm.
"boom"
suddenly.
A sound as deep as muffled thunder, yet also like the roar of a tiger, rang out clearly.
"It wasn't just my imagination after all."
Qin Jiu stopped what he was doing.
This moment.
His physical strength and power surged, and an incomparably powerful feeling arose in his heart.
"Once you pass the blood test, you will undergo a rigorous trial."
"Have I entered the first stage of skin-refining?"
Qin Jiu clenched his fist.
His eyes were filled with surprise and doubt.
Less than five days had passed since Wang Yue taught him the breathing method and stance training of the Dragon Tiger Health Cultivation Stance. He had directly broken through to the First Refinement Realm by knocking on his blood barrier. He himself found it hard to believe.
Indeed, the spirit beast medicinal food has been served continuously for several days.
Apprentices in the guard.
Even with sufficient Qi and blood, it takes at least three to four months, or even half a year, for the fastest person to pass the blood barrier.
"Could it be the talent of a snake waist and python tendons, or is it because I cultivate superior martial arts? Or was the original owner's martial arts talent just naturally good? That shouldn't be the case. If the talent was good, Old Master Qin wouldn't have let it go back then."
Qin Jiu was filled with countless thoughts.
Wang Yue, who had regained his senses not far away, quickly ran over.
"Congratulations on your successful breakthrough, young master."
His cloudy eyes were filled with excitement as he stammered, "Young Master's talent is unparalleled in the world. He passed the test and became a martial artist in just a few days. Heaven has eyes, and Master has a worthy successor."
"Wang Bomo is agitated; this matter must not be publicized."
Qin Jiu waved his hand.
While it may be an exaggeration to say that it was the best in the world, it is true that it entered the country in just a few days. If this were to spread, it would surely cause a stir in the county.
The wood show will be destroyed by the forest wind.
This is more of a curse than a blessing for the Qin family at present.
After giving instructions.
He went to the stone lock that the servants had carried in earlier, reached out and grasped the hundred-pound stone lock, and easily lifted it with a flick of his wrist.
"I don't feel any strain."
Qin Jiu's heart stirred slightly, and he walked over to a 500-pound stone lock and tried it out.
With a flick of the wrist, the stone lock was lifted off the ground.
However, this time it was extremely difficult.
"500 pounds with one arm..."
Qin Jiu nodded in satisfaction.
At the first level of skin-grinding, a fully mastered skin-grinding martial artist can only exert a force of about 1,000 jin with a single arm swing. However, I have only just entered the first level of skin-grinding and have not yet begun the skin-grinding process, yet I can already exert a force of 500 jin with a single wave of my hand. This is truly astonishing.
If one masters this technique, one will surely be able to break through the barrier of a thousand jin (approximately 500
"It must be due to his natural talent of having a snake-like waist and python-like muscles."
He recalled the description of his talents and realized that his breakthroughs, and even his strength which was different from other martial artists, were probably related to his talent of snake waist and python tendons.
Wang Yue was standing to the side.
He was almost petrified at this point, muttering repeatedly about his talent and genius.
......
The next morning.
Several carriages slowly left the Qin residence.
Qin Jiu sat in one of the carriages, while Wang Yue drove it.
He wasn't at ease about this trip, so he had the old steward accompany him. Firstly, he was afraid something might happen on the way, and secondly, he felt more confident taking a strong and skilled fighter to the Han family.
The Han family lived in the inner city, not far from each other.
Before long, the carriage gradually slowed down.
Qin Jiu sensed something and lifted the carriage curtain, revealing a mansion no less impressive than the Qin family mansion. In front of its vermilion gate, a group of elegantly dressed figures were waiting, but the person in the lead was not the head of the Han family.
He was actually a distant relative of the Han family.
He frowned almost imperceptibly.
He immediately got out of the carriage, walked to a carriage behind, and helped the old lady down.
The people who were waiting in front of the Han family's house also came over to greet them.
After exchanging pleasantries.
Only then did he lead them into the Han family home.
"Madam Li, it's been so long! How come you look so haggard?"
Inside the reception room.
A thin, middle-aged man sitting in the main seat spoke.
The man's eyes gleamed, and he glanced at Qin Jiu, who was standing beside the old lady, before continuing, "I encountered a mishap while practicing my skills recently and was unable to personally greet you all. If there has been any neglect, please forgive me, Madam Li."
"How could I possibly trouble Patriarch Han?"
The old lady remained calm and said, "I sent a visiting card a few days ago, so I presume Patriarch Han already knows why I've come today?"
"Of course, please take a seat, both of you."
A smile appeared on the face of the Han family head. After the two were seated, he continued, "Twenty years ago, Brother Guihong and I agreed to a marriage alliance between our two families, but fate has played a cruel trick on us..."
"Actually, even if Madam Li hadn't mentioned this matter..."
"In the next few days, Han will also send someone to inform the Qin family."
"Recently, with Brother Guihong's fall, the undercurrents in the city have become increasingly turbulent. If it weren't for my old bones being a bit tougher, I'm afraid that a few days ago, villains would have broken into the Qin residence and committed that devastating act."
