At this mont.
Lin Chang’sheng felt that the world suddenly beca brighter and clearer!
His eyesight, hearing, and perception all experienced a trendous breakthrough!
So of the obscure aspects of martial arts that had previously stumped him instantly beca crystal clear!
At the sa ti, his entire body trembled. He felt his dantian suddenly expand—at least ten tis bigger than before—and the imnse inner strength converted from the dicinal power of the Tiger Blood Pill surged into his dantian like a giant whale sucking in water!!
His dantian quaked as the inner strength inside roared and boiled. The massive change in quantity triggered a change in quality, and the energy gradually condensed into a stream ten tis purer than before!
An overwhelming sense of power filled his body and mind!
"I... have finally broken through the last shackle and advanced to Martial Arts Grandmaster!"
"My inner strength has transford into True Qi!"
"This is aweso!"
Lin Chang’sheng reached out and grabbed the air. He felt a semi-transparent aura swirling around his palm like flas!
This was exactly True Qi!
True Qi—whether in terms of strength or power—vastly outclassed the inner strength of a First-class Realm expert!
A real and tangible sense of might flooded his entire being!
Lin Chang’sheng checked his panel in his mind.
[Great Dao is Simple: Level 1]
[Lin Chang’sheng: 17/75]
[Cultivation: Martial Arts Grandmaster (1/62500)]
[Cultivation Techniques: Sun and Moon Breathing Technique (Perfection), Golden Bell Shield—Fragnted Fifth Level (Perfection), Minor Circulation Breathing thod (Great Success 72740/125000)]
[Martial Arts: Nine-Star Linked Beads (arrow/hidden) (Perfection), Fleeting Shadows (Perfection), Iron Sand Palm (Perfection), Cyan Snake Sword Technique (Perfection), Thunder Shock Slash (Perfection), Tiger Roar Fist (Mastery 2471/2500)]
[Alchemy: Qi Replenishing Pill (Perfection)]
[Spend a certain amount of silver to simplify cultivation techniques, martial arts, etc.]
[Status: Yin Qi Invasion (Extrely Weak)]
"Hmm?"
"I advanced to Martial Arts Grandmaster, so my lifespan limit increased by 20 years! That’s... not bad!"
Seeing the lifespan column on his panel, Lin Chang’sheng’s eyes lit up, delight surging in his heart.
Twenty more years to live ant endless possibilities!
However, Lin Chang’sheng guessed the increase likely ca from stepping into a great new realm, causing a full-body transformation that boosted his lifespan.
After all,
when he previously broke through to the First-class Realm, there was no change in his lifespan indicator.
"Yin Qi Invasion still hasn’t been removed?"
"What the hell is this thing? Why is it as hard to get rid of as maggots gnawing on a bone?"
Lin Chang’sheng looked at the last line on the panel, his brows knitting deeply. He glanced at his chest but saw no skull mark. Channeling his True Qi, he felt no discomfort.
However,
the Yin Qi Invasion status still lingered, constantly giving him a looming sense of pressure.
But, from the previous "Weak" status to now "Extrely Weak," it showed that advancing to Martial Arts Grandmaster had suppressed and weakened the Yin Qi Invasion!
"Breaking through to Martial Arts Grandmaster made the Yin Qi Invasion go from ’Weak’ to ’Extrely Weak.’ So being stronger, with more vigorous life force, has an effect! Once I beco a legend of the martial world, this Yin Qi Invasion should be wiped out completely!"
Hope flashed in Lin Chang’sheng’s eyes.
This thing was like a maggot clinging to the bone—an ever-present thorn in his side. He had to get rid of it.
For now, all he could do was keep getting stronger!
Obtain more cultivation technique fusions!
Get more silver to purchase elixirs!
"Tonight, it’s ti to settle the score with Mad Blade Martial Arts Hall!"
Lin Chang’sheng murmured as he gazed out the distant window.
Now that he was a Martial Arts Grandmaster, the experience required for his next breakthrough was 62,500. Aside from cultivation technique fusions, taking Tiger Blood Pills was obviously the fastest way to gain EXP.
Tiger Blood Pills require a lot of silver. Let’s see if I can ’harvest’ so from the Mad Blade Martial Arts Hall.
Of course,
If I can get my hands on a Dragon Blood Pill, that’s even better—but all the Dragon Blood Pills at Hundred Herbs Hall are already reserved by Liuyun Sect, Golden Saber Sect, and the Royal Family of Yu Kingdom.
Reserved? More like monopolized. There’s just no way for to get one—way too difficult.
Even if I find a place to buy them, they’re probably insanely expensive. I’m not even sure if my 10,000 silver taels could buy more than a few.
But, if I can get the Dragon Blood Pill Formula and simplify it myself, then get Dragon Blood Pills at Perfection... now that would be amazing!
Only problem is—
The Dragon Blood Pill Formula—
is a core secret of Hundred Herbs Hall.
Getting my hands on that pill formula will be extrely difficult.
From what he knew—
The Tian Family, head of the Five Great Clans (that is, Hundred Herbs Hall), was backed by a Martial Arts Grandmaster. Lin Chang’sheng didn’t know if that was true, but even if he wanted to go, he’d have to wait until his Grandmaster Realm EXP was at 62499/62500, and prepare on all fronts before going.
That way, his strength would be at the peak of Martial Arts Grandmasters!
He’d have a much better shot at stealing the pill formula.
After all, in the Immortal Dao World, even with a system panel, every step had to be taken with absolute caution—a single misstep and everything would be lost!
"Ti to find a place and test the power of my Thunder Shock Slash now!"
Excitent flashed in Lin Chang’sheng’s eyes as he thought to himself.
Now that he was a Martial Arts Grandmaster, testing Thunder Shock Slash in his small courtyard would definitely attract attention. He decided to go outside the city instead.
.......
East City, Min Nan City.
In a huge manor spanning ten li, rows of buildings lined up, red walls and green tiles shining bright.
This was none other than Lei Family, one of Min Nan City’s Five Great Clans.
Lei Family specialized in gunpowder, and their powerful, portable Lei Zhenzi and Celestial Thunder Beads were famous far and wide!
At this mont,
inside a secret room in the Lei Family, a burly, red-faced middle-aged man was staring at another scholarly-looking middle-aged man, speaking in a deep voice. "Housekeeper Yu, leave this to . I’ll make sure he disappears from this world!"
"Mm. That kid really is a nace. Do this well, and I’ll put in a good word for you in front of the young master!"
Housekeeper Yu nodded at Lei Family Patriarch, Lei Zhen, his tone approving.
"Many thanks, Housekeeper Yu. I’ve got three Celestial Thunder Beads here—set all three off at once, and it’s enough to blow even a Peak First-class Expert to pieces! I’ll give them to you now!"
Lei Zhen’s eyes lit up at his words. He pulled out a small package and took out three jet-black beads.
"Thank you, I’ll gladly accept them!"
"The sooner we get rid of that Lin brat, the better for the young master. I’ll take my leave now."
Housekeeper Yu carefully accepted the three beads from Lei Zhen, clearly pleased.
"Very good. I bid you farewell, Housekeeper Yu!"
Lei Zhen nodded, cupped his fists, and bowed as Housekeeper Yu’s figure flickered out. Then, he pressed a hidden switch on the wall next to him.
"Big Brother!"
"Big Brother!"
Monts later, two other middle-aged n with equally ruddy faces hurried in.
They were Lei Zhen’s second brother Lei Ming and third brother Lei Bao.
"I asked you here because I want you to kill soone."
"This person is only seventeen or eighteen but is already a First-class Expert, and has even killed Canglang Blade Master Zhong Ling and Min Nan Five Tigers’ boss Situ Zhan. I’m not sure what trick he used, but we can’t take chances. We must hit him hard with our firearms and finish him off in one strike!"
Lei Zhen looked at Lei Ming and Lei Bao, speaking sternly.
"A seventeen- or eighteen-year-old First-class Expert who can even kill Zhong Ling and Situ Zhan? That... just doesn’t seem possible?"
Lei Ming and Lei Bao’s eyes widened in disbelief.
From what they heard—
Zhong Ling’s nickna was Lightning Blade, and his Six Kills were no joke—even they would not dare be careless!
Situ Zhan’s strength was on par with Zhong Ling, yet he was killed by so teenager?
"Go. This is Housekeeper Yu’s order. If we pull this off, it’ll be a huge opportunity for the Lei Family! Do your utmost to kill him!"
Hope lit up in Lei Zhen’s eyes as he spoke in a low, serious tone.
He knew full well: as just one family in Min Nan City, their claim to fa was only thanks to their firearms!
The Crown Prince had yet to be appointed.
And that person was extrely likely to beco emperor in the future!
If they could win favor now, then once he ascended the throne, the Lei Family would soar to new heights as ’founding contributors’!
Besides,
Killing so nobody posed almost no risk to the Lei Family!
Just a casual act!
"Yes, Big Brother!"
Lei Ming and Lei Bao cupped their fists and departed.
