"Why should I take risks to help you?"
Champion Marquis's smile froze slightly.
He looked at Zhou Qi and was silent for a few breaths.
Under the candlelight, the two people looked at each other from a distance of ten feet.
There wasn't even a sound of insects outside, it was very quiet.
Champion Marquis suddenly smiled, like a harmonious elder.
"You're right." He sat on the chair, crossed his arms across his chest, and his posture was much more relaxed than before. "You are qualified to wait, but I cannot afford to wait."
He was silent for a moment, as if he was settling an account.
Then he straightened up and looked at Zhou Qi. The scrutiny in his eyes disappeared and was replaced by a pragmatic one.
"That's it." Champion Marquis said, "Cultivation Method will give it to you in advance. I don't ask for your help, I only want one thing from you."
"What's the matter?"
"Two don't help each other."
Zhou Qi looked calm and glanced at Cultivation Method which Champion Marquis placed on the table.
That Cultivation Method was less than one meter away from him, and he could even reach it with his hand.
"Master Hou's handiwork is not small." Zhou Qi was just as relaxed, leaning back on the chair.
"No way, you are worth the price." Champion Marquis spread his hands. "Besides, what does Xianwu's family motto have to do with me, Qin Clan."
Zhou Qi understands what he means.
Golden Core Cultivation Manual It is rumored that the royal family only kept the masters within the royal family in order to control the imperial power.
But what does this have to do with Champion Marquis's Qin Clan? He is busy rebelling now and can't care about anything else.
"The imperial court is asking you to help me. Please don't pay any attention to me. My people will not touch you again. Our previous grudges will be wiped out."
The two don't help each other, they don't take action against Champion Marquis, and they don't take action to help the court.
This is most beneficial to him. If Cultivation Method is obtained, both parties will not be offended.
But he remembered Yao Jingyi's face and Yao Qing's "Mr. Zhou".
"I have a condition." Zhou Qi said.
Champion Marquis raised his eyebrows slightly.
"I promised Yao Jingyi to keep Yao Family people safe." Zhou Qi looked at him and said word by word, "No matter whether you succeed or not, you must not harm anyone Yao Family."
Champion Marquis was silent for a few breaths.
He looked at Zhou Qi, with scrutiny, surprise, and something inexplicable in his eyes.
"You really keep your promise." Champion Marquis said.
"You must do what you promised." Zhou Qi said.
Champion Marquis nodded.
"Okay." He said, "Yao Family people, I will not move."
He paused and suddenly added, "If I lose, if you have the strength in the future, you can save my life."
Zhou Qi glanced at him.
"You think far ahead."
Champion Marquis smiled.
"When you live to my age, you can't live far away."
Zhou Qi was silent for a moment, then nodded.
Champion Marquis threw the booklet in front of Zhou Qi.
Zhou Qi looked down and saw only the words Golden Core Technique: Part One on the cover.
He turned to the first page, and System Panel popped up instantly--
[New Cultivation Method detected: <Golden Core Cultivation Manual·Part 1>]
[Proficiency: 0/500000]
[Cultivation to perfection can break through to Golden Core, Third-Layer Peak]
Zhou Qi was very satisfied, nodded and said, "Cultivation Method I accept it."
"If the two don't help each other, the previous grudges will be wiped out."
When Zhou Qi returned to Yao Residence, it was still dark.
The courtyard door was ajar, and the boy was still taking a nap on the porch, snoring like thunder.
Zhou Qi walked past him, without stopping, opened the door and entered the house.
Bolt the door.
He took out the book "Golden Core Cultivation Manual·Part 1" from his arms and sat down by the bed.
The oil lamp was still on, and the flame jumped twice, casting flickering shadows on his face.
Zhou Qi opens the first page, System Panel pops up--
[New Cultivation Method detected: <Golden Core Cultivation Manual·Part 1>]
[Proficiency: 0/500000]
[Cultivation to perfection can break through to Golden Core, Third-Layer Peak]
[A usable proficiency balance has been detected. Do you want to use it?]
[Proficiency balance: 100860]
Zhou Qi stared at the number and was silent for a moment.
One hundred thousand points.
This is what he accumulated after staying at Yao Residence for more than three months.
He calculated in his mind that with one hundred thousand proficiency points, he could probably push Cultivation Method to Golden Core First Layer.
Enough.
Zhou Qi took a deep breath and said silently, "Use."
At that moment, a wave of Spiritual Qi appeared in the body out of thin air.
It didn't gush out from his Dantian or flow into his meridians, but appeared directly in his limbs and bones, as if someone had lit a fire in his body.
But the fire was not hot.
It's cold.
It was extremely cold and compressed to the extreme, as if a whole lake of water had been compressed into a single drop and exploded inside him.
Spiritual Qi rushes to Dantian like a tide, not washing, but infusing.
It's like someone is pouring a bucket into a bottle, but the bottle is too small and contains too much water, which makes the meridians tremble.
Zhou Qi gritted his teeth and veins popped out on his forehead.
The Spiritual Qi was spinning crazily in the Dantian, spinning faster and faster, as if something was taking shape.
Compression.
Compress again.
Compress again.
Spiritual Qi was pressed into a light spot the size of a grain of rice, suspended in the center of the Dantian.
The light spot became brighter and brighter, becoming more and more solid, like a miniature sun.
Golden Core Realm.
It's done.
Zhou Qi Open your eyes.
At that moment, the momentum in his body exploded.
It's not that he doesn't want to take it, it's just that he can't.
As soon as he stepped into the Golden Core Realm, his breath was unstable, and the coercion was like a flood that broke a bank, spreading crazily around him with him as the center.
"Boom--!"
The tables and chairs were pushed out by the air waves and hit the wall, sending sawdust flying everywhere.
The quilt on the bed was overturned, the window paper was shattered, and the whole window creaked.
The oil lamp on the table flew out, fell to the ground, and went out.
The whole house felt like it had been blown by a hurricane.
Outside the hospital, footsteps suddenly sounded.
"Mr. Zhou!" the waiter's voice came from outside the door, with a hint of panic, "Are you okay?"
Zhou Qi didn't have time to answer.
More footsteps came from a distance, getting closer and closer.
There was the sound of the courtyard door being pushed open, the sound of hurried conversations, and the sound of clothes whirring in the wind.
"What's going on?" It was Yao Jingyi's voice, which was a bit solemn.
"Sir, it's the noise coming from Mr. Zhou's house." The boy's voice trembled.
There was a knock on the door.
"Mr. Zhou." Yao Jingyi's voice came from outside the door, "Can you open the door easily?"
Zhou Qi stood up, straightened his clothes, walked over and opened the door.
There was a group of people standing outside the door.
Yao Jingyi is at the front, followed by Yao Qing, Yang Zhenshan, and several Yao Residence guards.
Everyone had surprise and doubt on their faces, looking past Zhou Qi to the room behind him.
The house was in a mess.
Tables and chairs were shattered on the floor, the window paper had several big holes, and even a layer of dust fell off the wall.
Yao Jingyi withdrew his gaze and looked at Zhou Qi with some scrutiny in his eyes.
"Mr. Zhou, this is..."
"I'm not holding you back while you're practicing." Zhou Qi said in a calm tone, "I'm sorry for disturbing Mr. Yao."
Yao Jingyi looked at him and was silent for a breath.
Although he didn't speak.
But he noticed that the aura on Zhou Qi's body had changed.
