Looking at the honest and kind-hearted Yuan Xin, I felt even worse.
Then, Yuan Xin and I tidied up the room, and he left. Because Yuan Zhao came to see me without telling me, I couldn't send him off. I just wanted Yuan Xin to come to me secretly if he encountered any trouble. Chen Qi will definitely help.
In just one day, I received a lot of news. After being alone in the room, I digested the news.
First of all, it's a good thing. Lu Mingdeng's promotion is really terrifying. Our relationship has not changed because of Lin Guanfo. His help to me in the future, even now, will be huge.
Next is Lin Guanfo. He is not only extremely deep, but also has ulterior motives. He still has secrets that I am not aware of now.
And the person who can answer this secret for me the best is undoubtedly Yuan Zhao, the sixth-grade clan member of the Yuan family in Runan...
But this matter cannot be urgent. Before Yuan Zhao takes the initiative to speak to me, if I want to find her, not only may I not be able to ask, but I may not have the chance in the future.
It seems that Yuan Zhao and Yuan Xin's mother and son may need my help in this matter. In fact, I also need my help.
I pinched the basalt tortoise shell in my hand...
As expected, this thing must be something Lin Guanfo wants to plot. This thing is precious and I will never hand it over. Lin Guanfo is my biggest enemy. I want to know his details, otherwise I will say no. The crown prince of the Yuan family in Runan will definitely swallow all his bones!
…
For several days in a row, I was recuperating my body. Yuan Jing was kind to me and gave me many excellent healing products. With the help of the breath of Xuanwu Tortoise Shell, my body gradually returned to normal.
Moreover, during this period, I vaguely felt that my physical strength seemed to be a sign of further progress.
I am not in a hurry about the eighth level. I have inquired and found out that if you want to enter the eighth level, you need to let a ray of Qi remain in your body and take root completely in your body, and the probability of this is one in ten.
In other words, an ordinary cultivator needs at least ten strands of qi to allow one strand of qi to take root in his body and become an eighth-grade cultivator.
This is ten times the amount of qi required to enter the ninth level!
And ordinary people need ten strands, how could I let a wisp of Qi take root in my body and reach the eighth level with just ten strands?
The amount of qi machines I need is undoubtedly huge...or, it may be ten times as much as when I first entered the ninth level!
On Changbai Mountain, I absorbed a wisp of qi machine transformed from dragon qi, and in Zixia Peak, I absorbed seventy-six wisps. If we don’t count the special characteristics of dragon qi transformed into qi machine, the total is seventy-seven wisps. Qi machine...
Ten times, that’s seven hundred and seventy-seven wisps! It is equivalent to the huge Qi Lake that the United Nobles gave to the Yuan Clan in Runan!
If I only need ten wisps, I can still go to Yuan Jing to see if I can get them or exchange them, but such a huge amount of Qi is undoubtedly something I can't get now.
Therefore, I did not rush to break through the eighth level, but continued to focus on the physical strength of my body...
Nineteen times is already an exaggeration, but I always feel that maybe this is not the limit?
Is it possible to break through to twenty times?
What difference will twenty times the physical strength have to me?
I'm very curious, and now, I seem to have really seen a glimmer of light.
Maybe it’s the 10% of Wang Yang’s physical strength that I got from the body through the magical method of sacrificing the blood of living beings. Maybe it’s the fact that these days, I’ve been fighting and fighting to squeeze the limits of my body, or maybe it’s the Yellow Emperor’s secret treasure and the luck of the Taoist ancestral court. The influence of the power on me, I seem to have touched the bottleneck twenty times!
"Maybe, with one more chance and one more powerful medicine, I can break through to twenty times."
I was thinking in my mind and estimating the time.
I have confidence in my heart, but this opportunity and strong medicine are not so good.
That’s all…
Thinking about it, I stretched my muscles and left the house. I haven't walked outside for several days. I don't know what happened in the Yuan clan or what the United Nobles are doing.
As soon as I came out, I bumped into Lu Mingdeng head-on.
These days, Lu Mingdeng would come to see me occasionally, and we would chat from time to time while I was recovering.
But judging from Lu Mingdeng's expression today, it seems that he is not here to chat with me.
"Chen Qi, Lin Guanfo told me that the head of the Yuan clan wants to see you and me. Let's go to the meeting hall."
A trace of doubt flashed in Lu Mingdeng's eyes, and he said, "As soon as I heard about this, I came to find you."
"Let's go see what he has to say first?"
I said quietly.
Yuan Jing and even the elders of the Yuan clan knew that Lu Mingdeng was a Tai Sui boy, but they never wanted to see Lu Ming Deng. Although the Tai Sui boy had a special status, he was not Tai Sui after all. They did not know Lu Ming Deng's true strength. Now, there is no need to see a Tai Sui boy, it can't affect anything.
In my heart, I couldn't help but secretly wonder, could it be that the murder of the seventh-grade hidden official was exposed?
This is okay, but it would be bad if Lu Mingdeng's cultivation of the Yin Thunder Technique was revealed.
But Lu Mingdeng didn't panic at all, his eyes remained cold.
Of course, what Lu Mingdeng didn’t know was...
We two brothers borrowed people's lairs to survive, and joined forces to fight against the enemy. One of us learned the secret technique that the other hated most and had banned it, and the other took away the other's most precious foundation, and even the foundation of the entire noble clan...
Soon we arrived at the meeting hall, where Yuan Jing and three clan elders were in the room. The three sixth-rank clan elders included Yuan Zhao and the eldest Yuan Zheng.
On the contrary, the two sixth-grade men sent by the Runan Yuan Clan to collect the Eight Hundred Threads of Qi Ji Lake were not there.
The atmosphere in the hall was a bit gloomy, even filled with a hint of murderous intent!
After seeing me and Lu Mingdeng, Yuan Jing forced a smile and said, "Little friend Chen Qi, how have you been living lately? Have all the injuries on your body recovered?"
"I'm very used to it, I've almost recovered."
I nodded.
"Little friend, do you have any plans to break through to the eighth level recently?" Yuan Jing suddenly asked me.
"The foundation is not solid, not yet." Hearing this, I felt confused.
What does Yuan Jing mean by saying this?
"If you have plans to break through to the eighth level, you can come to me. My clan doesn't have much energy to help you, but I can still afford ten strands." Yuan Jing said with a smile.
"No need, Patriarch, I don't plan to break through to the eighth level yet." I shook my head and refused.
Ten strands are not enough...
For me, it must be a drop in the bucket.
After I rejected him, you could see that Yuan Jing suddenly felt a little disappointed in his eyes.
He seems to want to give me energy and let me break through to the eighth level.
This is a bit abnormal...
Not to mention that my status is somewhat special, but giving me Qi may have a bad impact on the Yuan family in Runan.
The most important thing is that Qi is precious. Although our relationship is good, it is not as good as this...
"Fine."
Yuan Jing smiled forcefully at me, then looked at Lu Mingdeng and said, "Presumably, this is the brother of little friend Chen Qi, Lu Mingdeng, a Tai Sui boy?"
"I've met the Yuan clan leader."
Lu Mingdeng said calmly, his expression still calm.
"As expected of a Tai Sui boy, you have an extraordinary aura. The prince of my clan gave you the energy to break through the ninth level, and it was with my consent. I heard that you are thirteen times stronger than ordinary people?" Yuan Jing asked.
"Um."
Yuan Jing smiled and patted Lu Mingdeng on the shoulder and said: "Okay, you are indeed a Tai Sui boy. If you could practice Xuan a few years earlier, maybe you would be better than that one -"
At this point, Yuan Jing suddenly stopped talking, as if he felt that he had said too much.
"If Mingdeng has confidence in himself and wants to step into the eighth level, he can come to me. Maybe we can't afford the qi to step into the seventh level, but there is still no shortage of qi to step into the eighth level. "
Yuan Jing spoke again.
"Okay." Lu Mingdeng replied simply.
First, he wanted to give me the energy to enter the eighth level, and then he wanted to give Lu Mingdeng the energy. What is Yuan Jing's purpose?
Thinking about it, I asked directly: "Clan Chief Yuan Jing, do you have anything to give us when you come to see us this time?"
"I don't have any instructions. I just want to tell you what happened recently, especially the movements of the united gentry. We are allies," Yuan Jing said.
"I also wanted to hear this. Have all the Yuan clan members in Runan come back from outside?" I replied.
"They are all back. I, the Yuan family of Runan, have a total of 182 registered disciples. In the siege by the joint gentry, twelve of them died, and the remaining 170 have all returned to Lu." Yap.”
Yuan Jing nodded and continued: "Although it is very sad, the loss is very small."
"That being the case, why don't the expressions of the clan leader and other clan elders look very good to me?" I asked.
Yuan Jing then suddenly looked hurt and said, "Do you still remember when we united with the noble clans to win over us, and promised us the Qi Lake with eight hundred strands of Qi?"
"Remember." I nodded.
"Two sixth-grade clan elders from our clan died in that Qi Ji Lake." Yuan Jing said in a deep voice.
I was stunned.
died?
I asked why there were two sixth-grade clan elders missing. It turned out that it wasn’t that they weren’t there, but that they were already dead!
