Martial Arts: My Talent Has No Limits

Chapter 9 Feeding the Punch

The Qin residence, east wing.

After dealing with the Silverfrost Fox.

Qin Jiu stopped Wang Yue, who was about to leave, and asked him about the Cold Jade Marrow.

This thing is related to talent imprinting.

We can't delay.

After all, the Crimson Seal has no retention function. If you're not careful one day and your Golden Talent gets overwritten, you'll suffer a huge loss.

He could only feel at ease if it was engraved in his mind.

"Cold jadeite?"

Wang Yue was taken aback and said, "That is a kind of mineral marrow that can be used to forge entry-level weapons. However, this material is extremely rare and basically has no market value. If you want to forge a suitable weapon, young master, this old servant would recommend other materials."

"There are quite a few in the mansion's secret vaults."

"Advanced Weapon..."

Qin Jiu frowned slightly.

This thing is far stronger than a weapon forged a hundred times, but each one is worth a thousand gold pieces. Apart from Wang Yue, even the few third-level martial arts masters, the Qin family is unwilling to equip them with such weapons.

It is clear that as an entry-level material, the price of Jadeite will not be low.

Not to mention they're scarce.

"Can this material be found in the county seat?"

"This old servant does not know."

Wang Yue shook his head, then said, "We need to find the Four Seasons Pharmacy to refine pills from the spirit beast blood of this Silver Frost Fox. This old servant can also go to the weapon forging shop to inquire about it. It's the most likely place in the county to store Cold Jade Marrow."

"How much would you like to buy, young master?"

"About one pound."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yue nodded in surprise, but he was somewhat puzzled, because this number was far from enough to forge weapons. However, having been in the Qin family for many years, he knew what he should and should not ask, so he immediately dismissed the thought, took the disassembled Silver Frost Fox, and left the east wing.

I watched him walk out of the courtyard gate.

After a moment's thought, Qin Jiu went back to his room to change into his training clothes, and then slowly practiced the Dragon-Tiger Health-Preserving Posture in the courtyard.

The city is now in turmoil.

It's best to focus on improving your own capabilities.

Although all indications suggest that the demon attack was not targeting the Qin family, it is still more frightening than his suspicion that some force coveted the Qin family. If there is indeed an invisible hand manipulating things behind the scenes, the county town will soon be in turmoil.

"After breaking through the blood barrier, you need to temper your qi and blood."

"After using my Qi and blood to penetrate and refine my skin three more times, I will enter the second stage of bone forging."

"The Qin family has no shortage of martial arts resources, plus the third-tier spirit beast Silver Frost Fox, so my progress should not be slow. However, apart from tempering my qi and blood, I also need to improve other aspects."

Qin Jiu pondered silently.

About half an hour has passed.

A servant brought him a medicinal meal, and he then stopped his stance training and went to sit down in the pavilion.

"Young master, would you like to take a bath and change your clothes?"

"No need. Go and inform the guards in the manor to gather at the training ground."

Qin Jiu gave an order.

His gaze immediately fell on an exquisite silver plate on the stone table.

The silver platter contained the meat of the Silver Frost Fox.

The portion size is not large.

This was probably Wang Yue's order. The meat of a third-tier spirit beast is far superior to that of a first-tier beast, and eating too much at once might not be a good thing.

He pondered for a moment, then picked up the meat and put it in his mouth to chew.

Not long after.

A warm sensation rose from my lower abdomen and quickly spread to my chest and even my limbs.

Qin Jiu's expression changed slightly. His blood and qi, which had calmed down, surged inexplicably. He quickly finished the rest of the spirit beast meat and hurriedly went outside the pavilion to push the Dragon-Tiger Stakes to digest the immense medicinal power within his body.

Almost half an hour has passed.

The blood and qi gradually calmed down.

"As expected, it's far superior to the meat of a first-tier spirit beast."

"This medicine is really potent."

Qin Jiu let out a long breath, stopped practicing his stance, went back to his room to change out of his soaked training clothes, and then headed towards the training ground.

The training ground at this moment.

More than forty figures have already gathered.

These figures stood in twos and threes, some huddled together boasting about something, clearly each having their own little clique.

After Qin Jiu entered the martial arts arena.

The previously noisy sounds quickly stopped.

"Greetings, Master!"

A middle-aged man with a shrewd look in his eyes quickly clasped his hands in a salute.

Only then did the others belatedly follow suit and bow.

Qin Jiu waved his hand and asked the middle-aged man, "Instructor Xu, how many of the guards present are already at the second level of martial arts mastery?"

"There are eight of us, including myself, returning home."

"Yes, things haven't been very peaceful in the city lately. You must be extra careful during your night patrols. Also, I need two experienced fighters. Do you have any recommendations?"

Speaking of it.

Qin Jiu added, "As long as one has extensive combat experience, even a first-level martial artist is acceptable."

"Very experienced in combat..."

Coach Xu was slightly taken aback, then began to think.

Soon.

He then called out two figures from the crowd.

One was a bit older, looking even older than Coach Xu, while the other looked to be in his early thirties.

Qin Jiu learned a little about the two people's experiences.

He then led them back to the east wing.

......

"I called you here for only one purpose: to give me a taste of my fists."

Inside the pavilion.

Qin Jiu looked at the two people in front of him and said bluntly, "As for why I asked Instructor Xu to find experienced fighters, simply put, it's to have you teach me practical combat experience and the precautions for fighting others."

"And from this day forward, your salaries will be doubled."

"If you teach well, there will be other rewards."

"Do either of you have any objections?"

These words were spoken.

The two exchanged a surprised glance.

"Neither of us will have any objections to this matter."

The older man hesitated and said, "But Master, fighting one-on-one is dangerous. A slight mistake could result in injury. We martial artists are inherently rough, and since you haven't practiced martial arts, what if you get hurt..."

"I forgot to tell you that."

Qin Jiu waved his hand and said, "I am now a martial artist, so you don't need to worry too much. Also, this matter must not be disclosed to anyone without my permission."

"One refinement?"

A strange expression appeared on both of their faces at the same time.

They didn't say anything more.

After all, a first-level martial artist is no ordinary person. It's just a matter of training in actual combat. Being a little careful won't be a big problem. Besides, who can resist the temptation of doubled monthly salary?

The two agreed.

Qin Jiu then led them to the center of the courtyard.

But there's no rush to have the two of them punch each other.

"Although you two are only second-level martial arts masters, your martial arts experience and skill level are both higher than those of other martial artists at the same level. Although I have already broken through the blood barrier, I have only been practicing martial arts for a short time and have only mastered one stance training method. Watch me demonstrate it once."

As Qin Jiu spoke, he set up the stakes.

He wasn't afraid that the two of them would learn it.

The so-called stance training consists of stance and breathing techniques. Without the latter, no matter how much you practice, it will only be a showy display.

And those two heard this.

They all frowned.

"Master, forgive my bluntness, but you haven't even learned how to fight, so how can you talk about fighting others? Even if we two were willing, I'm afraid we couldn't teach you anything, and even if we fed you boxing techniques, it would be meaningless."
