Holy body, start with the Five Animal Exercises

94: Linshui Town, Water-born Dragon King StatueLong Daosheng smiled and nodded, ”Yes, I guessed that if I told them directly, they definitely wouldn’t agree, so I put on this act. If they still didn’t agree, then we would have to wait another five years.”

”But thankfully, Brother Su’s acting was very good. If I hadn’t known in advance, I probably would have been fooled too, hahaha.”

”Not at all. If you didn’t have the strength approaching Martial Destiny to suppress them, why would they agree so easily? In the end, it’s all about strength,” Su Yun said with a smile.

Long Daosheng smiled and waved his hand, ”You were always a smooth talker back then, and you haven’t changed a bit after all these years, haha.”

He looked at Qin Jiang, ”Junior Brother, your potential is great. I imagine your current strength is no weaker than some Fifth-Rank Secret Martial Artists, right?”

As soon as he finished speaking, before Qin Jiang could react, Su Yun spat out the tea in his mouth.

”What did you say? His, his strength is no weaker than a Fifth-Rank Secret Martial Artist? Didn’t you say he just cultivated the Azure Fire Bronze Furnace Skill?”

Long Daosheng looked at him, ”Yes, is there a conflict?”

Hiss~

Su Yun gasped, ”Listen! Do you want to hear what you’re saying?!”

”Just cultivated the Azure Fire Bronze Furnace Skill, and strength no weaker than a Fifth-Rank Secret Martial Artist—are these words that can be strung together?”

”For so many years in Ningan, no, no, for so many years in Yuan Province, I’ve never heard of anyone being able to contend with a Fifth-Rank Secret Martial Artist right after becoming a Secret Martial Artist!”

”Forget Fifth-Rank; being comparable to a Third-Rank, or even barely able to defeat a Second-Rank Secret Martial Artist, is already considered a Prodigy-level figure! Enough to make some old monsters of the Longevity Sect scramble to recruit them!”

Long Daosheng smiled contentedly at his reaction, ”You might not know, but Junior Brother was already able to defeat a Second-Rank Secret Martial Artist during his True Martial Artist period.”

”Therefore, it’s expected that he would possess the strength to contend with a Fifth-Rank Secret Martial Artist after initially becoming a Secret Martial Artist.”

”You also know how vast the gap is between a True Martial Artist and a Secret Martial Artist.”

This information was actually impossible to hide.

After all, Qin Jiang had already displayed his Prodigy-like talent when he was in Black Mountain City.

And what he could do was pave the way for Qin Jiang as much as possible, so that he could become stronger at the fastest speed.

Moreover, a Secret Martial Artist is no longer a sapling; he can be considered a big tree that can shelter from wind and rain.

How can one constantly hide and develop due to some potential hidden dangers?

Hiss~

The folding fan in Su Yun’s hand unconsciously made a rubbing sound as he gripped it.

He even suspected that his ears were broken. What did he hear?

A True Martial Artist defeating a Second-Rank Secret Martial Artist—is this a storytelling session? Is this some wild history?

He looked at Qin Jiang, his eyes filled with a dazed mix of inquiry and hope.

Qin Jiang nodded slightly, ”It’s roughly not weak.”

Su Yun’s features immediately contorted. He really wanted to slap himself!

If only he hadn’t found it troublesome and had also arranged for someone to deal with the strange fog!

He looked at Long Daosheng, who was leisurely drinking tea, and pointed at him, unable to speak.

You old geezer, you really deserve to die! You really deserve to die!

It’s one thing for you to be so powerful, and for your family to have so many Geniuses, but this time you actually brought back such an unparalleled Prodigy!!!

How could your Long family be so lucky!

Suddenly, he felt like crying, but the dignity of being the head of a prominent clan prevented him from wailing.

”Ah, you two chat. My younger brother is about to give birth; I’m going back to pick up my dad from school.”

With that, he turned and left directly, leaving Qin Jiang and Long Daosheng looking at each other.

After a few seconds, Long Daosheng gave a stiff laugh, ”Hehehehe. Old Su is just like that; his brain was damaged back then, hehehehe.”

After laughing for a while, even Qin Jiang couldn’t stand it anymore and immediately said, ”If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving.”

Long Daosheng quickly stopped laughing, cleared his throat, ”No, no, no, I’m not finished yet.”

”There’s still some time until the end of the year. I plan to try my best to push you to the Fourth-Rank Secret Martial Artist Realm before the end of the year.”

”This way, with your strength at that time, you should be able to sweep through all Secret Martial Artists in Ningan. But to be safe, I’ll have the third brother deal with the Sixth-Rank Peak Secret Martial Artists of the Wang family and Liu family.”

Qin Jiang pondered for a moment upon hearing this, ”There’s no need for that. I can sweep them all by myself. I’ll be a little more serious in this True Disciple ranking competition.”

After speaking, he left directly.

After Qin Jiang left, Long Daosheng sat in his chair. He understood Qin Jiang’s meaning.

He wanted to display his strength in the True Disciple ranking competition.

However, judging by Qin Jiang’s tone, why did this ranking competition sound like a child’s game?

Although Liu Chenyi, the current top-ranked True Disciple of the Liu family, was only a Fourth-Rank Secret Martial Artist,

it was said that he had obtained some Opportunity outside and possessed a divine source weapon sword, cultivating another Secret Martial Art on the foundation of the Azure Fire Bronze Furnace Skill.

Its power was considerable; he could contend with a Fifth-Rank Secret Martial Artist and even threaten a Sixth-Rank with it.

He had already had Long Qihan tell Qin Jiang this news, but even knowing it, Qin Jiang still seemed completely unconcerned.

Was he truly unconcerned, or simply confident in himself?

After thinking about it, he didn’t know, but he could go and watch when the competition took place.

A few days later, outside Ningan City, Linshui Town.

Qin Jiang walked along the small path in the town. The road was well-built, paved with stones, and along its edge ran a small river, faintly reddish, named the Red Water River.

Looking out, Linshui Town seemed to be built on water, and the moist air flowed into his internal organs through his nostrils, giving it a quiet charm reminiscent of Jiangnan towns in his previous life.

As he walked along the river, there were many fish, old fishermen in straw cloaks, and women washing clothes.

After walking for a short while, a stone statue, nearly three meters tall, depicting a human body with a Dragon head, appeared before his eyes. It was carved from a stone material mixed with quartz.

The statue’s left hand held a small rectangular object, and its right hand held a scroll, both also carved from stone.

In front of the statue was an offering table, and in the incense burner, there were still half-burnt joss sticks.

This was his target for this trip: the Water Dragon King statue of Linshui Town.

According to legend, hundreds of years ago, the Red Water River was not called by this name.

At that time, the people here did not offer sacrifices to the Canglang Dragon King, which angered the Dragon King, who then unleashed a flood.

It was this Water Dragon King who stood at the confluence of the Red Water River and the Canglang River, blocking the overwhelming flood. The rectangular object was the water-calming artifact he used.

Later, the flood subsided, but the Canglang Dragon King’s wrath grew even fiercer. He ordered the Water Dragon King to be suppressed at the source of the Red Water River, where he was flayed, had his tendons pulled out, and his flesh was cut off inch by inch.

Blood flowed for three months without stopping, staining the river red, and so it was later renamed the Red Water River.

Walking slowly, he arrived in front of the Water Dragon King statue. The children around the statue, seeing Qin Jiang’s luxurious attire, scattered.

Qin Jiang looked at the stone statue. In this world, many legends became legends due to the passage of time.

In reality, many of these legends were actual events that had occurred.

He raised his hand and pressed it against the Water Dragon King statue. [Potential points being absorbed. 0.50. 40.50. 6]
