I Can Strengthen Infinitely

Chapter 247 - 184: Yellow Springs Eye (Part 2)

Compared to Lian Baishan, Young Master Qin’s Inner Strength is evidently more profound. Bao Jing immediately felt a warm stream entering his body, and many internal injuries began to heal.

"Thank you, young hero."

"Master, there’s no need for courtesy. The crisis is yet to be resolved. Those people from the Demon Sect already possess four parts of the fragmented map. Finding the location of the sword tomb and hidden treasures is only a matter of time. We must stop them. If Master could recover sooner, it would be a significant help to me," Young Master Qin said.

Under the combined healing efforts of the two Inner Strength experts, Bao Jing quickly recovered about thirty percent and was barely able to stand and walk by himself.

The battle tonight was not only devastating for the Thunder Fist Sect and the Sword and Saber Sect but also all the martial monks in Treasure Bottle Temple were killed without a single survivor.

Truly, it was a blow to the Primordial Qi.

Compared to the Demon Sect, which only lost three experts this time, the Jiangnan martial world suffered a major defeat.

"Young Master Qin, Master Bao Jing still needs treatment. I’ll escort him back to his room to rest, and then we can discuss what to do next together," Lian Baishan said to Young Master Qin while supporting Bao Jing.

"Alright, I’ll wait for you here," Young Master Qin was eager for this. With so many bodies of Inner Strength experts here, if he could disassemble them and absorb their Inner Strength, his own would inevitably surge dramatically. Perhaps he might even reach another major Qi gathering point.

After Lian Baishan supported Bao Jing away, Young Master Qin immediately knocked Master Yang, who intended to sneak away, unconscious with a stone and began to take action.

Picked up a Thunder Fist Sect expert’s leg, disassemble!

Grabbed a Sword and Saber Sect expert’s hand, disassemble!

...

After disassembling everything that could be disassembled in the courtyard, Young Master Qin looked at the five Inner Strength Pills in his hand and shook his head helplessly.

Perhaps because he did not disassemble immediately after they died, causing the Inner Strength to dissipate. Even with more than ten corpses of Inner Strength martial artists present, Young Master Qin only obtained a few Inner Strength Pills.

As for the corpses of Lei Gang and Gongsun Xiaozhou, Young Master Qin deliberately chose not to touch them. After all, they were leaders of a sect, and eventually, their disciples would likely come for their bodies. Young Master Qin didn’t want to cause unnecessary trouble later.

Besides the Inner Strength Pills, Young Master Qin also thoroughly mastered some martial arts from Thunder Fist Sect and Sword and Saber Sect. The most valuable ones were Thunderbolt Skill from Thunder Fist Sect and Sword and Saber Essence Spell from Sword and Saber Sect — two Internal Cultivation Methods.

If sold, it is estimated that many Outer Forging Perfection martial artists would be willing to bankrupt themselves to acquire them.

Outside Treasure Bottle Temple, he casually dug a dirt pit and threw some severed limbs and remains from the courtyard into it, buried them with soil, and Young Master Qin considered the aftermath complete. If Lian Baishan didn’t see the corpses in the courtyard, he could use this as an excuse to dismiss it. Furthermore, Lian Baishan probably wouldn’t be so idle as to dig up the grave mound to check whether Young Master Qin buried all the corpses.

Nothing said overnight, the next day.

The sun rose in the east, with purple aura coming from the east.

Sitting on the eaves of Treasure Bottle Temple, Young Master Qin slowly opened his eyes.

The air at Great Buddha Mountain was still very good, inhaling deeply made even the lungs feel refreshingly comfortable, making one’s entire body feel at ease.

Thanks to the Inner Strength Pills disassembled last night, he gained about a quarter of Dantian Inner Strength, which was a decent progress.

And the Ghost Pill obtained from disassembling the big head brought Young Master Qin 6000 points of All-Purpose Essence, showing that in terms of strength, this guy was even stronger than the Great Ghost Venerable before reception.

"The orange talents are indeed powerful. If it weren’t for the undefeated battle body last night, my outcome would likely not be better than those who died."

Currently, Young Master Qin has three attributes that are not orange talents — speed, spirit, and charm. Although these can be refreshed, the cost is quite high. Refreshing once costs 1000 points, which is even hard to bear for Young Master Qin.

Therefore, for practical use, he chose to spend the 6000 points of All-Purpose Essence on the Mountain-Crushing Tyrant Saber, directly enhancing it to just a line away from becoming a Divine Skill.

Once the Mountain-Crushing Tyrant Saber is enhanced to a Divine Skill, Young Master Qin’s strength will have a significant increase.

Improving strength through drawing orange talents is really too reliant on luck; Young Master Qin cannot afford to play like this at the moment.

The Five-Word Secret and those three Earth Evil Spirit Crystal Stones, Young Master Qin hasn’t figured out their purpose yet, so he had no choice but to put them away for now and explore them later when he has time.

"Young Master Qin." Suddenly, Lian Baishan’s voice came from beneath the eaves.

Looking down, Young Master Qin saw Lian Baishan holding a basket and raising his head, saying, "Come have something to eat, Master Bao Jing’s injuries have already half-recovered."

Those who died last night were martial monks of Treasure Bottle Temple, and the ordinary monks who generally only recite scriptures, fetch water, and offer sacrifices obediently followed Bao Jing’s instructions, staying in their respective rooms the entire night, without stepping outside despite any noise, so they weren’t affected.

Early this morning, after they prepared the vegetarian meal, Lian Baishan hurriedly brought a basket of buns and delivered it to Young Master Qin.

"Young Master Qin, those people from the Demon Sect now have the map to the sword tomb’s hidden treasures. I’m afraid they’ll find the location in no time, but we are completely unaware. This situation is really bad. If those from the Demon Sect get the sword tomb’s hidden treasures, their power in the world will become even stronger, and the martial world will become more dangerous." Handing the basket to Young Master Qin, Lian Baishan said with a heavy tone.

"Master Lian, do not worry. Although we haven’t got the map, I have seen the contents recorded on it," Young Master Qin reassured.

"Oh? Does Young Master Qin know where the sword tomb’s hidden treasures are?"

"Hard to say, the map once projected in the sky. Everyone present saw it, and it didn’t record anything special, except a dilapidated small city that was quite eye-catching."

"A small city?"

Young Master Qin nodded, "Yes, a small city with a plaque inscribed ’Sword Forge’. I’m not familiar with Jiangnan, Master Lian, do you have any impressions of such a place?"

Lian Baishan furrowed his brow, "There are countless county cities in Jiangnan, just based on this little bit of information, it’s hard to come up with any clues, are there any other characteristics?"

"Just some mountains and rivers, the map doesn’t even show a road, suggesting it’s not in any bustling place, but likely in some remote countryside."

"Leave this matter to me; I will investigate it for a while. If there’s any news or discovery, I’ll notify you. By the way, Young Master Qin, where do you reside usually? How can I contact you?" Lian Baishan asked.

"I live at Yixin Residence in Yangzhou Prefecture and will likely be staying there for a while. Master Lian can reach me there."

"Alright."

With the matter at hand, staying longer at Treasure Bottle Temple was meaningless, and Young Master Qin directly bade farewell to Lian Baishan, who still had to remain for Master Bao Jing’s treatment, and walked down Great Buddha Mountain alone.

Even a roam-all-around Jiangnan hero like Lian Baishan didn’t know of the existence of the small Sword Forge city, presumably, even with the map, the people from the Demon Sect wouldn’t be able to find the sword tomb’s hidden treasures so quickly. Young Master Qin was no longer in a rush, only waiting with ease for good news from Lian Baishan.

Upon returning to Yixin Residence, Young Master Qin saw Lan Xiaoyuan spreading a large amount of glutinous rice in the courtyard.

This puzzled him greatly. Was Yangzhou Prefecture celebrating an unknown festival today?

What does sprinkling glutinous rice mean?

Seeing Young Master Qin walk in from outside, Lan Xiaoyuan immediately called out carefully, "Master Qin, stop!"

Immediately, she scattered a handful of glutinous rice toward Young Master Qin.

Swish!

With a tremor of Inner Strength, Young Master Qin directly repelled all the glutinous rice away.

"Miss Xiaoyuan, what’s going on?"
