Holy body, start with the Five Animal Exercises

146: Border War, Vajra PillSeveral days later, in the Qin Manor.

Qin Jiang sat in the courtyard, watching Xiaobai and Qin Hong researching new dishes, with a hesitant expression.

“Husband, don’t worry, Elder Sister and Xiaobai’s cooking skills have improved incredibly fast these past few days.” Xu Yanran gently massaged Qin Jiang’s shoulders.

Qin Jiang nodded, a hint of anticipation in his heart.

A gentle breeze blew, lightly caressing his hair, and a sense of ease arose.

He leaned back, lying directly on Xu Yanran’s lap. The sunlight, filtered by the clouds, was no longer so harsh on his face.

This kind of life is truly wonderful.

A soft snore escaped Qin Jiang’s nostrils. Xu Yanran smiled, leaning against the pavilion pillar behind her.

Half an hour later, with a slight thud, Qin Hong served the last dish: braised pork hock! It came from a great demon-level black pig!

“Husband, Husband.”

Qin Jiang slowly opened his eyes, sat up, stretched, and gradually came to his senses.

He couldn’t remember how long it had been since he had slept like that.

It felt pretty good.

“Xiao Jiang, come and have a taste!”

In the courtyard, the table was already set, and Qin Hong was arranging the bowls and chopsticks.

Qin Jiang grinned, quickly walked over, and said, “Let me see what delicious food there is! So beautiful! So fragrant!”

He picked up a slice of meat and put it in his mouth.

Hmm! Crispy and fragrant! But it had no flavor!

The texture in his mouth felt like chewing a dry rag that hadn’t been sliced, with a layer of white granulated sugar sprinkled on top.

“How is it! I added sugar! I heard it enhances freshness!” Qin Hong looked at Qin Jiang.

Beside her, Xiaobai held a carrot in her hand, also looking at Qin Jiang with a hopeful expression.

Qin Jiang swallowed the meat slice and nodded slightly, “Very chewy.”

Dong~~~ Dong~~~ Dong~~~

Qin Hong was about to say something when she was interrupted by three bell tolls.

Qin Jiang’s expression changed slightly. He put down his chopsticks and said, “Three rings of the Golden Bell, it’s a summoning order from the Sect. You two eat first, I’ll go check it out.”

With that, he directly soared into the air, transforming into a streak of light and departing.

At the same time, streaks of light also rose from various parts of the Prefecture City, rushing towards the Longevity Sect mountain gate.

Upon arriving at the Sect, Yuan Anyi was rushing towards Tongtian Peak. Qin Jiang landed directly beside him.

“What happened?” Qin Jiang asked.

Yuan Anyi was stunned, looking at Qin Jiang who had suddenly appeared beside him, and couldn’t help but marvel at his strength.

“Father said it seems like the Huai Country army invaded the border and people need to be sent to guard the border city. Therefore, the Imperial City provided many resources, and this time is probably for distributing those resources.”

Qin Jiang’s expression changed slightly. He hadn’t expected the Master of Jinyu Pavilion’s actions to be so swift.

“Let’s go, up we go.”

Saying that, he directly lifted Yuan Anyi up the mountain.

Arriving halfway up the mountain, this was where the Longevity Sect held its Sect meetings. The huge square was already filled with people.

In front of the square were seven stone chairs, five of which were already occupied.

Besides the Sect Leader of Changshou, Bai Qiuyue, and Yuan Shengxiong, there was also a white-haired Elder and a gold-robed middle-aged man.

The white-haired Elder was energetic and smiling, while the gold-robed man had a stern expression, radiating an aura of “do not approach”.

Qin Jiang knew these two. The white-haired Elder was Third Elder He Feiyun, a Fourth Realm Divine Warrior.

The gold-robed middle-aged man was Grand Elder Ning Tairan, whose strength was only half a step away from a Fifth Realm Divine Warrior.

“Junior Brother, please take a seat.”

The Sect Leader of Changshou, sitting in the center, gestured to his left. Qin Jiang nodded, put down Yuan Anyi, and walked over to sit down.

The Disciples in the square couldn’t help but look at Qin Jiang. A few days ago, they had only seen Qin Jiang’s illusion. Today, they truly saw this Martial Grand Uncle.

After Qin Jiang sat down, Yuan Shengxiong on the other side stood up, his Vajra intent directly suppressing all sounds.

“Alright, most of the people are here, so I won’t waste any more words. I assume you’ve already heard about the Huai Country army’s invasion. Second Elder has already taken some Disciples ahead, but that is clearly not enough, so your strength is also needed.

However, you won’t go for nothing. The Imperial City has allocated a batch of resources, and there are also rewards from the Sect. Today, deacons will distribute them.

All supervisors and deacons in the Sect, listen carefully! If anyone dares to embezzle resources, I will skin them alive, extract their tendons, refine their bodies into lamp oil, then use the Vajra Bell to capture their soul and refine it into a lampwick, burning it for one hundred and eighty days before letting them turn to ashes!

Don’t think I wouldn’t dare. If you don’t believe me, just try it!”

His gaze swept over the many supervisors and deacons within the Sect. When Second Elder was in the Sect before, he couldn’t act so freely, but now that he was away, he had no scruples.

After a few breaths, he sat down directly.

The Sect Leader of Changshou stood up, “The war with Huai Country cannot be underestimated. I hope all of you cultivate diligently and do not lose your lives on the battlefield. Alright, Personal Disciples stay, the rest go back and pack up. Five days from now, we will depart for the border city.”

After the Sect members left, the Sect Leader of Changshou took out a wooden box.

“These are six Vajra Pills, which I refined a few days ago. You few will compete, and whoever wins can take two pills.”

As his words fell, the five Personal Disciples all showed expressions of surprise.

These Vajra Pills were specially created for the cultivation of the Vajra Indestructible Body. Not only did they consume many treasures, but the failure rate was also extremely high. Even for the Sect Master, refining one was very difficult!

However, their effect was also extremely powerful, capable of greatly increasing the cultivation progress of the Vajra Indestructible Body, and even allowing one to directly Breakthrough a Realm with them!

Of course, this was limited to below the fifth layer of the Vajra Indestructible Body. ForPalace Master-level masters above that, it had little effect.

“Sect Master, but there are five of us, how should we compete?” a white-robed Personal Disciple stepped forward and asked.

She was the granddaughter of the Longevity Sect’s Grand Elder, named Ning Youyi, and her strength had already reached the Third Realm Divine Martial, having cultivated both the Vajra Indestructible Body and the Eastern Wood Longevity Body.

“Stop before injury. Each person will face the other four individually. The one with the most wins will be the victor,” the Sect Leader of Changshou said.

“Sect Master, didn’t Junior Martial Uncle also just achieve Divine Martial cultivation? How about letting Junior Martial Uncle participate as well? That way, it’s not as troublesome for pairs to compete, and it also prevents the one who takes two pills from being envied,” Bai Qiuyue said with a smile.

Anyway, her daughter couldn’t get first place, so she might as well do a favor.

“Hmm? Junior Sister Bai, what do you mean? Junior Martial Uncle is already a master of the Divine Martial Realm, how can he be judged by the Sect’s Divine Martial Realm? Could it be that if I cultivate another Divine Martial art, I can also participate?”

Ning Tairan, who had been silent, spoke, his voice cold and severe.

Among the five current Personal Disciples, only Jiang Yun could contend with his granddaughter. The final winner would only be chosen between the two of them.

It was one thing for Jiang Yun to be bullied without a background, but as a dignified Grand Elder, could he not even protect his own granddaughter?

His son died young, leaving behind only this precious granddaughter. How could he let others bully her?

“Grand Elder, Hall Master Bai’s words are not false. Junior Martial Uncle was not a Divine Warrior before. So, it’s not a case of the strong bullying the weak.” Bai Qiuyue said with a smile.

“Hmm? What did you say! Are you taking this old man for a three-year-old child! Who in the Sect doesn’t know that Junior Martial Uncle was already comparable to a Fifth Realm Divine Warrior before joining the Sect!”

Ning Tairan couldn’t help but get angry. This woman was truly out of her mind to say such a thing!

“Grand Elder, Hall Master Bai’s words are true.” The Sect Leader of Changshou spoke.

Hmm?

Ning Tairan looked at the Sect Leader of Changshou. He didn’t think the Sect Master would deceive him either.

But… wasn’t this?! Secret Martial suppressing Divine Martial?!!

His eyes shot out brilliant light, looking at Qin Jiang without restraint. The next instant, he was pushed back by the Divine Martial pressure naturally emanating from Qin Jiang’s body.
