Chapter 210
210 Blood light (2)
Zhu guangxiao had a younger sister who he grew up with. Well, she was not his biological sister, but a girl-next-door. The two of them had a very good relationship, and they looked at each other very well.
However, his sister’s father wanted Zhu guangxiao to give him a betrothal gift of a hundred taels of silver. Otherwise, there was no way he could do it.
Zhu guangxiao’s monthly salary was five taels of silver, and with some gray income, he could earn more than eighty taels a year. However, he still had to entertain clients, his daily expenses, and he had to go to the brothel … Every year, he could only save up about thirty taels.
It was already not easy. After all, going to a brothel to spend money was a necessity. Even ordinary people had needs, let alone hot-blooded martial artists.
F * ck … ‘Don’t plant a flag! I’ve seen at least 800 people like you on TV in my previous life …’ Xu Qi ‘an rolled his eyes.
“Congratulations, guangxiao is getting married soon.” Song tingfeng glanced at the beautiful purple sachet embroidered with white lotus flowers hanging on Xu Qi ‘an’s waist. “Ningyan, did fuxiang give you this?”
“No!” Xu Qi ‘an let him take the sachet.
“Don’t tell me you have a fiancée too, kid?” Song tingfeng’s squinted eyes widened slightly and he said sourly.
“No, I didn’t,” Xu Qi ‘an took back the sachet and lay down again. The purple sachet hung at the tip of her nose and she hummed a tune.”She’s just my little sister. My little sister said that purple is very charming.”
“Why doesn’t ningyan get married?” Zhu guangxiao expressed his doubts.
In his opinion, not only was Xu Qi ‘an appreciated by Lord Wei, but he had also been rewarded by the Emperor with a thousand taels of gold. He had a bright future ahead of him.
He had also reached the age of marriage and children.
“He’s the same as me, a wastrel.” Song tingfeng commented.
“Get lost. We’re different.” Xu Qi ‘an lay on the bed with his hands behind his head. He sighed and said, “”Let’s get used to it for a while.”
It had only been three months since he came to Da Feng, and he was still unable to settle down and adapt to it. That was why he had been hanging out with the education workshop, lingering with Fu Xiang’s warm eyes, but he had not been mentally prepared to get married.
Zhu guangxiao nodded and suggested, “”That depends on what you want from your future wife.”
“A request …” “The one with big waves and long hair,” Xu Qi ‘an said after some thought.
“This request of yours is so strange.” Song tingfeng frowned.
“Here are three requests,” Xu Qi ‘an said.
After washing up, Xu Qi ‘an had breakfast and knocked on Jiang Luzhong’s door.
“What is it?” Jiang Luzhong was sitting at the table, looking at a map of the cloud Prefecture. His eagle-like sharp eyes gave people a great sense of oppression.
“I’d like to consult Jiang Jinluo on some cultivation-related questions,” Xu Qi ‘an picked up a piece of cake and stuffed it into his mouth. How do I advance to the spirit-forging stage? ”
Xu Qi ‘an’s previous understanding of this was that it was a gradual and natural process.
When the accumulation reached a certain level, it could naturally advance to the spirit-forging stage.
However, he was inspired by Yan Caiwei’s requirements to advance to The Alchemist Realm. He reviewed the martial arts system and realized that there were also requirements to advance from the essence refining realm to the Qi refining realm.I can’t lose my virginity!
it’s simple, ” Jiang Luzhong said with a smile. when your spiritual power is strong to a certain extent, the space between your eyebrows will swell and hurt. That’s when you’ve advanced to the spirit-refinement realm. As for the method to advance, well, I’ll not sleep for ten days.”
Ah? Was he serious about not sleeping for ten days? wouldn’t he suddenly die?
Seeing Xu Qi ‘an’s confused face, Jiang Luzhong explained, “”You didn’t hear wrong. If you don’t sleep for ten days, you can advance to the spirit-forging stage. If you can’t, you’ll faint at best, and in serious cases, you’ll die of spirit decay. In the warrior system, every rank is a test of life and death.”
“… Why didn’t you sleep for ten days?” Xu Qi ‘an asked, puzzled.
“When you were in the essence refinement realm, you must have experienced the limits of your physical body often. Every time he broke through his limit, his physical strength would increase. Do you know the limits of the primordial spirit?”
Xu Qi ‘an shook his head.
“The best way to break through the primordial spirit limit is to not sleep. Ten years is just a rough standard. Everyone’s limit is different. In the future, when you try to break through to the spirit-forging stage, you will experience it for yourself.”
“Won’t your body be unable to take it?”
“Therefore, the essence and Qi cultivation are also laying the foundation for the spirit cultivation, including your daily visualization and the strength of your primordial spirit. It’s also increasing the chances of advancing to God-refinement realm.” At this point, Jiang Luzhong chuckled and said, ”
“It’s still too early for you. The most important thing on the path of martial arts is the will to cross mountains and rivers. You can’t aim too high.”
“Jiang Jinluo is right.” “I’m already at the peak of the Qi refining stage,” Xu Qi ‘an nodded in agreement.
Jiang Luzhong: “??? ”
He stared at Xu Qi ‘an in disbelief. After a few seconds, he said unhappily, ” don’t joke around. I remember that when you joined the night watchman, you were still at the essence refining stage. Who would reach the peak of the Qi refining stage in less than three months …? It can’t be true, right?”
Xu Qi ‘an shrugged and said,”if not, why would I ask you this?” Well, I’ll take my leave first.”
Xu Qi ‘an left Jiang Luzhong’s room, leaving Lord Jin Luo sitting at the table alone. He muttered, ” this doesn’t make sense, this doesn’t make sense …
“Duke of Wei, does he know?”
……
Six days passed in the blink of an eye. Xu Qi ‘an’s first experience on a long voyage in his life was:Buzzzzzz!
On the deck, song tingfeng looked listlessly at the river and the ships passing by. He said, ” we’ll arrive at Yuzhou tomorrow. Jiang Jinluo promised us a day of rest. I’m going to throw up after eating so much fish.
“Yuzhou is rich in iron ore and is famous for its wealth, talent, and spirit. Presumably, the beauties of the Academy’s workshop are also fresh and beautiful.” A copper Gong echoed.
Xu Qi ‘an didn’t care about the beauty of the Imperial Academy. He just wanted to get off the ship early and have a good meal.
In the middle of winter, there was a lack of fruits and vegetables, not to mention that they were floating on water. He had been eating fish for every meal recently, and now he felt nauseated at the sight of fish, almost suffering from anorexia.
At this time, Xu Qi ‘an, who was leaning against the guardrail, accidentally caught a glimpse of an official ship coming toward them.
There were a few clerks in black on the deck. They also noticed the official ship where Xu Qi ‘an was. After seeing the gongs on the deck, the clerks obviously panicked and subconsciously retreated.
Then, he quickly calmed himself down and remained the same, but he didn’t look at them again.
…. The subconscious panic after seeing us is a sign of guilt … Although he had tried to salvage the situation and appeared calm, his unmoving gaze only made him look even more guilty … Was he naturally afraid of the night watchman?
The old detective, Xu Qian, thought suspiciously.
The reaction of the officers on the opposite ship was the most classic reaction of guilt when he studied psychology.
Just to be safe, he wanted to confirm it.
Xu Qi ‘an reached into his pocket and gently touched the back of the small Jade Mirror. He took out the ” magic book ” of the scholarly Academy and tore off a page that recorded the aura-gazing technique.
Today, the most abundant magic books were Qi-gazing. On the day they escorted Zhou chixiong, the centurion of the jinwu guards, into the capital, Xu Qi ‘an had shamelessly asked Zhang Shen for spells to replenish the magic books that were gradually consumed.
Yan Caiwei was also present … He had become a big customer of skills.
As for why they were all aura observation techniques, it was because this technique was simple and easy to record.
“Chi …”
As the pages of the book burned, Xu Qi ‘an’s eyes shone with a clear light as he looked at the official ship in front.
He saw a bright red, sticky blood light.
According to the definition of the aura observation skill, the killer would be stained with blood for a period of time after killing someone.
