Letting You Practice Life Skills, You Grind Into Divine Positions

Qin An guessed that Clerk Wang's red palms were related to his cultivation method and took it into his embrace.

At this moment, Qin An saw Chen Chun still in a daze and shook his head.

He was indeed afraid of not being able to catch up.

Even Constable Zheng had the Azure Bird Leap movement technique. If Clerk Wang also had one, Qin An might not be able to catch up with his speed.

He was the one who killed Clerk Wang, and he couldn't let Clerk Wang escape.

The Dancer class hadn't been upgraded to level three yet, and Qin An had no movement technique, so he had to resort to this plan.

Chen Chun followed, "Half of the current crisis has been resolved."

Now that Clerk Wang was dead, the crisis within the yamen had been eliminated, leaving only the demonic creatures from outside.

Second Master Eagle of Flying Cloud Gorge had been killed by Qin An and was now defunct. Chen Chun felt much more relaxed.

Qin An shook his head, "There's more."

Chen Chun was slightly stunned.

Qin An looked in the direction of Ding County, "There are still people in the yamen, there are still demonic creatures, and besides, the River Blade Sect that he sought out today is not a peaceful one either."

Chen Chun's hair stood on end upon hearing this.

He understood.

If the yamen could collude with demonic creatures, how could it be accomplished with just a small clerk?

The County Magistrate was the highest official in the yamen.

Now that Clerk Wang was dead, if the County Magistrate received the news, he would surely be unable to sit still.

By then, the danger they faced would be even greater.

Moreover, Clerk Wang had just gone to the River Blade Sect today and was beheaded before he even got home. What would the River Blade Sect think?

There were also the other two demonic creature factions, they definitely wouldn't be allowed to leave alive.

"What should we do?" Chen Chun asked.

He had more experience in the martial world than Qin An, but he instinctively asked Qin An.

Qin An said without looking back, "Let's sleep on it."

Chen Chun's mouth twitched slightly.

He had already understood Qin An's personality. Besides being aloof, his methods of doing things were sometimes unfathomable.

But since it had come to this, Chen Chun could only brace himself and follow behind.

Not long after, the two disappeared into the Clear Spring River.

At home.

Qin An poured a cup of hot tea and, watching the rising mist, fell into thought.

Everything he had said to Chen Chun was true. The danger had not decreased but rather increased.

Not only the yamen but also the River Blade Sect were involved. He could only rely on his golden finger.

"Strength is paramount. Only when strength surpasses the entire Ding County can there be peace."

"I need to obtain the Dancer talent as soon as possible to compensate for the lack of movement techniques. I need to hurry."

Qin An sat down and made a decision. Then, he took out the cultivation method he had found on Clerk Wang and began to read it by the oil lamp.

The oil lamp cast a dim yellow light, illuminating Qin An's face, his shadow flickering.

Although the book was wet, it did not affect Qin An's reading.

He wanted to practice the Dancer profession, but Qin An wanted to finish reading this palm technique first and see if he could gain anything.

With the Scholar profession as his backing, Qin An only took half an incense stick's time to finish reading the entire book.

The Blazing Palm Technique was a close-combat cultivation method. When executed, both palms felt like iron. Qi was circulated and continuously collided within the palms. When the palm struck, the colliding Qi carried high temperatures, capable of burning enemies.

Qin An secretly thought, "I don't have any close-combat talents, so I don't know if it's feasible."

He currently only had three talents, none of which were for close-combat cultivation methods.

Although he didn't know if it was feasible, it didn't stop Qin An from trying.

Qin An followed the movements of the Blazing Palm Technique and began to circulate the Qi within his body, channeling it into his palms.

Just then, a wisp of smoke appeared before his eyes, condensing into text.

[You are cultivating the Blazing Palm Technique, triggering the Qi Concealment Realm Cultivation Method Comprehension Mastery]

Qin An was slightly stunned.

When he saw his golden finger appear, he thought he had triggered the Blacksmith's talent, as the Blacksmith talent had allowed him to master the Mountain-Lifting Fist.

But he hadn't expected it to be the Scholar talent.

Although he was puzzled, Qin An continued to read.

[You found inspiration from the Ice-Fire Dual Cultivation Method, infusing your palms with fiery Qi to begin improving the Blazing Palm Technique.]

[Your Blood Essence is heavily consumed.]

Qin An felt the Blood Crystals he had stored rapidly depleting.

[You meditated for years, unable to comprehend, but one day, you had a sudden idea and began cultivating the Mountain-Lifting Fist.]

[Your Blood Essence is heavily consumed.]

[You gained insights from the Mountain-Lifting Fist and the Ice-Fire Dual Cultivation Method, merging them with the Blazing Palm Technique to create a new Cultivation Method for the Body Infusion Realm.]

[It is named Crimson Flame Mountain-Breaking Hand.]

[Crimson Flame Mountain-Breaking Hand (Novice)]

A vast amount of information flooded Qin An's mind.

When Qin An finished absorbing it, his eyes glowed slightly.

The cheat system could still be developed further!

He never expected that he could deduce new techniques by combining existing Cultivation Methods and his talents.

The Blazing Palm Technique, due to its similarity to the Ice-Fire Dual Cultivation Method, first triggered his Scholar talent. Then, because of his Blacksmith talent, it actually merged with the other technique.

Qin An felt that the connection between them was very complex and likely involved many intricate details.

But he also felt that this complexity was surprisingly simple.

From now on, he would try to combine any Cultivation Methods he acquired. If it triggered a connection, then there was one, it was that simple.

His Blood Essence was somewhat depleted, and Qin An's steps felt unsteady.

After deducing for so long, the Blood Essence he had stored from Second Master Eagle was long gone, and he had even used his own Blood Essence.

"Blood Crystals are truly treasures. I can't let any demonic creatures go in the future."

Qin An made up his mind and raised his hands. His palms immediately turned incredibly red.

The Crimson Flame Mountain-Breaking Hand combined the strengths of both techniques, possessing the power of the Mountain-Lifting Fist and the searing heat of the Blazing Palm Technique.

When delivering a strike, combined with the Ice-Fire Dual Cultivation Method, it could not only kill enemies with sheer force but also erode their entire bodies with high temperatures.

Tonight, all the Cultivation Methods Qin An had learned had reached the Body Infusion Realm. Although it was only at the novice stage, his strength had greatly increased.

"I need to rest first."

Qin An felt the emptiness within him. After hanging up the bell, he collapsed onto the bed.

The Qi circulation of the Ice-Fire Dual Cultivation Method began to slowly repair the damaged Blood Essence...

Time flowed by, and in the blink of an eye, several days passed.

During these past few days, Ding County was calm and peaceful.

Only the Yamen was shrouded in a dark cloud.

In the Yamen's courtyard, a headless corpse lay on the ground.

The body had been in the water for a long time, its skin pale and bloated, making one nauseous.

However, the head lying nearby and the token at the corpse's waist revealed its identity.

After the coroner finished his examination, he respectfully cupped his fists towards the middle-aged man on the left. "Lord Wang died by a swift blade."

The middle-aged man wore a blue official uniform, exuding an imposing presence, with long whiskers hanging down from his temples.

Upon hearing the coroner's words, the middle-aged man's face turned as dark as water.

The constables around them fell silent, not daring to move in the slightest.

County Magistrate Zhang remained silent for a long time before saying, "Bury him."
