6 min read1,506 words
Qin Yunjie brought Xu Wuzhou to the door, and he really wanted to beat him to death.
Xu Wuzhou had gone too far, doing such a thing on the night of his sister's wedding. As a brother, how could he bear it, how could he not stand up for her?
However, he was very clear about his father's thoughts; it was impossible for him to let him kill the son of his sworn brother.
Qin Yunjie deeply regretted that he should have finished him off when he caught him in the act yesterday.
Xu Wuzhou ignored Qin Yunjie's angry glare.
It's normal for a brother to protect his sister and hate him. It's not a big deal.
There were many young disciples in the Qin Family Martial Hall.
The Qin family was large and prosperous, although the direct line only had Qin Li's lineage.
However, there were many collateral branches, and when combined with the children of relatives and core subordinates, the number was significant.
Xu Wuzhou's arrival made all the Qin family disciples look at him with disdain, and everyone showed disgust.
Yesterday, Xu Wuzhou's despicable act had spread throughout Lin'an Prefecture, making the Qin family a laughingstock.
They shared the glory and the disgrace of the Qin family. Who wasn't filled with anger towards Xu Wuzhou! Besides, this guy was already a detested parasite.
"I don't know how he has the nerve to do such a despicable thing."
"Indeed, a penniless son-in-law living off others, a useless person who married into our Qin family. Has no self-awareness?"
"A parasite, yet he pretends to read books and study poetry, calligraphy, and music, trying to enter the path of cultivation through literature."
"Doesn't he even know his own worth, to understand poetry and calligraphy?"
"A lustful fool, why didn't the family head beat him to death?"
"..."
The whispers and criticisms continued to reach Xu Wuzhou's ears, but he acted as if he didn't hear them, calmly sitting in the front row. He wasn't afraid of such insults; he had often been called a scoundrel in nightclubs before.
However, his indifferent attitude only made everyone more indignant, and the insults continued.
"Shameless, if I were you, I would have been too ashamed to live."
Someone stood up and pointed at Xu Wuzhou, scolding him.
"You are so ugly, isn't that enough to make you ashamed? If you can still live, what do I have to be ashamed of?"
Xu Wuzhou looked at the man with a sharp, monkey-like face, puzzled.
"You..."
The monkey-faced man stood up in anger, about to rush to Xu Wuzhou, but a soft and charming voice from the podium interrupted, "If you don't want to listen to my lecture, please leave."
With these words, the room suddenly fell silent.
Xu Wuzhou looked at the podium, where a young girl stood. She had a pure and innocent appearance, but her eyes sparkled with a charming and seductive allure.
The girl's gaze swept over everyone, and no one dared to meet her eyes, all lowering their heads.
"Let's continue with cultivation. It involves cultivating qi and blood, unblocking meridians, nourishing organs, gathering the five qi, and opening the dantian... corresponding to the Qi and Blood Realm, (Postnatal Realm, Prenatal Realm), Divine Storehouse Realm, Primordial Realm, and Divine Sea Realm... Most of you are in the Qi and Blood Realm, so today we will focus on that.
As the name suggests, it is about enhancing the qi and blood in the body. When the qi and blood are strong enough, one's strength increases, and lifting a tripod with one hand becomes easy.
How to enhance qi and blood?
Physical training and medicinal supplements are the most common methods.
Medicinal supplements aside, those with money have an advantage.
What we will discuss is physical training. There are many ways to train the body, such as exercise, external force, and cultivation techniques, all of which can enhance qi and blood. Many of us use cultivation techniques combined with exercise to enhance our qi and blood.
But today, we will talk about something different, such as..."
"Is it about cultivating martial intent through physical training?"
Qin Yunjie suddenly interrupted, excited.
The girl was taken aback but then smiled, "Not bad, you actually know about cultivating martial intent through physical training. However, you are thinking too much. How many people in the Qi and Blood Realm can comprehend martial intent?"
"None?"
"Rumors say that there are 3,000 paths to cultivation, and each path can lead to enlightenment. Is there no one who can enter the path of cultivation with a single thought?"
Qin Yunjie asked.
"From what I've heard, the young lady of your family is just one step away from entering the path of cultivation through literature. I assume that's why you're asking."
The girl glanced at Xu Wuzhou, having heard about yesterday's incident.
"Ha ha."
Qin Yunjie laughed dryly.
"Since we're talking about martial intent, let's discuss it. There are countless cultivators in the world, but few can comprehend martial intent. Your Qin family has many warriors, and I've heard that your family head is at the Prenatal Realm. Even so, he has not comprehended martial intent.
Martial intent can indeed enhance the body, and before the Primordial Realm, it is the best method for physical training. It not only enhances the body but also refines the qi and blood and spiritual energy within.
However..."
She paused and continued, "Martial intent is extremely rare. Those who can comprehend it at the Prenatal Realm are considered outstanding. Those who can comprehend it at the Postnatal Realm are considered geniuses. If someone can comprehend it in the Qi and Blood Realm, they will undoubtedly enter the path of cultivation before the Prenatal Realm.
Do you know what it means to enter the path of cultivation before the Prenatal Realm?
It means they have the qualifications to enter the Top 100 Talents of the World."
"What is the Top 100 Talents of the World?"
Qin Yunjie asked.
"The top 100 talents of the world are listed."
The girl said.
"Ha!"
Everyone drew in a sharp breath. There are countless cultivators in the world, and the top 100 are all exceptional beings, each with unparalleled talent.
Xu Wuzhou listened to the lecture, but his mind wandered to the old man with the black bowl who had imprinted the Extinction Sword Intent in his soul. Did he count as having martial intent before the Qi and Blood Realm?
Thinking of this, Xu Wuzhou couldn't help but ask, "What about ordinary people who are not even in the Qi and Blood Realm but have martial intent?"
Xu Wuzhou's question immediately drew a wave of ridicule.
"Sure, still the same old attitude, aiming too high."
"Trying to attract attention, thinking too highly of himself."
"Is he dreaming of comprehending martial intent before the Qi and Blood Realm?"
"Of course, he's always thinking of entering the path of cultivation through literature."
"..."
The girl's eyes, like water, answered Xu Wuzhou, "There is no such person."
"No such person?"
Xu Wuzhou was taken aback.
"Yes!"
The girl stretched, her figure perfectly curved, her slender waist almost breakable with a gentle touch.
"Although it is said that every path can lead to cultivation, true ordinary people cannot enter the path of cultivation.
Those who can enter the path of cultivation with a single thought, regardless of their path, are first and foremost warriors.
For example, the young lady of your family, although she has the potential to enter the path of cultivation through literature, she has not abandoned cultivation. I've heard she is at the peak of the Qi and Blood Realm.
Because the stronger one is, the more likely they are to enter the path of cultivation.
This is why those who choose the path of cultivation through literature or music still strive to become stronger through cultivation, rather than waiting idly for enlightenment.
If one cannot enter the path of cultivation, how can an untrained person have martial intent?
Only through cultivation can one experience the martial path, and even without entering the path of cultivation, one can hope to comprehend martial intent."
Xu Wuzhou felt lost. What about himself?
"Ha ha, if there were ordinary people with martial intent, no physical training method in the world could compare to them.
This would be the best and most perfect method of physical training."
The girl's red lips parted.
"Alright, let's not talk about this. It's too far-fetched for you."
The girl said, "Let's continue with physical training."
The girl resumed her lecture on physical training, explaining it in a simple and easy-to-understand manner.
Even Xu Wuzhou, who had no concept of cultivation, gained a basic understanding of the Qi and Blood Realm.
The girl's lecture resonated with his soul, and the information of the Yin-Yang Medical Formula in his soul began to flow into his mind like a spring, continuously corroborating with what the girl was explaining.
