Chapter 41: Refinement · Five Viscera Internal Cultivation Art! (Seeking Follow-up Reads!)
The imperial surname of the Great Jin Dynasty was Wang.
Wang and Gao ruled the world together!
The meaning behind this was self-evident.
Qin Zheng's pupils contracted slightly, suppressing the shock in his heart.
He hadn't expected that someone with such a background would exist in this small Black Goose City!
Xu Weisai continued, "The Quan Yang Gao Clan is a prominent aristocratic family, and their descendants have long been spread throughout the court of the Great Jin Dynasty."
"Moreover, do you know that out of the eighteen Nation-Suppressing Martial Saints of our Great Jin, six originated from the Quan Yang Gao Clan!"
"Tell me, is such strength, such background, not terrifying?!"
Qin Zheng's brow furrowed slightly, and then he asked, "Then why did he come to a small place like Black Goose City?"
If his origins were so high, why did he come to this small Black Goose City?
Xu Weisai shook his head, indicating he didn't know either, but finally guessed, "The Gao family has descendants everywhere; perhaps our Magistrate Gao is not favored."
Speaking of this, he hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Our Magistrate Gao does not cultivate martial arts, and this is very likely the reason."
In such a top-tier aristocratic family with no shortage of resources, not cultivating martial arts could explain a lot.
This Magistrate Gao was very likely born unsuitable for martial arts cultivation, abandoned by his family, and sent to such a small place.
However, even so, as a descendant of the Gao family, the resources he could access were beyond the reach and imagination of ordinary people.
After chatting, Xu Weisai looked at Qin Zheng and then said, "You killed Zhang Xiuwen. If Gao Wusheng finds out, he will definitely come looking for you."
"However, he will most likely make all sorts of promises to get you to become his subordinate and work for him."
Speaking of this, he glanced around the surroundings, then added, "You should leave first and try not to let him know you were here. I will handle the people in the village who saw you."
Qin Zheng nodded first upon hearing this.
If Gao Wusheng's background was truly as Xu Weisai described, then he was indeed no match for him at this moment.
However, before leaving, Qin Zheng still inquired, "Why are you helping me?"
Xu Weisai shook his head and replied, "Consider it repayment for giving me the merit of killing Shi Dian. I don't like owing favors."
Qin Zheng thanked him and then used his Qinggong (lightness skill) to turn and leave.
This time, Qin Zheng's movements were swift and shadow-like, not allowing anyone in the village to see him.
He could believe what Xu Weisai said, but he couldn't believe it all.
No matter how powerful Gao Wusheng was, he only used schemes to kill subordinates who disobeyed him, rather than acting directly.
This was enough to show that he couldn't do whatever he pleased in Black Goose City.
Moreover, he had only killed the bandit leader Zhang Xiuwen, not directly offended him. As long as he stuck to the story of knowing nothing else, and quickly improved his martial arts realm, there would be no major issues.
And now, the internal skill he most urgently desired was finally in his hands!
The merit collected this time should be enough to refine and enhance this internal skill.
With both conditions met.
This should allow him to rapidly improve his strength in a very short time!
If he could quickly strengthen his body and break through the fourth major hurdle, it should be enough to push the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill to completion.
At that time, he would fear no conspiracy or scheme.
Thinking of this, Qin Zheng felt a sense of urgency.
Now that he had obtained the internal skill, he would first find a quiet place to refine and get started with it.
Therefore, Qin Zheng's current direction was not towards Black Goose City, but in the opposite direction.
In other words, as Qin Zheng continued to use his Qinggong to move forward, he was getting further and further away from Black Goose City.
After about half an hour, he arrived at the mountainside of a deserted deep mountain and sensed a natural cave.
A huge brown bear was tearing and devouring its prey in the depths of the cave.
When Qin Zheng walked in.
Sensing the dangerous aura emanating from Qin Zheng, it immediately stood up, let out a fierce roar at Qin Zheng, and assumed an aggressive stance.
However, with Qin Zheng's current strength, especially while wielding the Ghost-Head Saber and with his martial arts in effect, this brown bear could no longer pose any threat to him.
Qin Zheng shrugged his shoulders, the Ghost-Head Saber falling into his hand. With a stomp of his foot, he instantly charged forward.
The sharp saber light seemed to emanate a chilling aura, flashing brightly in the deep mountain cave.
After a few breaths.
Then, Qin Zheng thrust the Ghost-Head Saber into the ground, standing it beside him.
He then found some dry grass and laid it beneath him, sitting down beside the headless bear corpse. He took out the internal cultivation manual from his embrace.
"Five Viscera Internal Cultivation Art!"
Zhang Xiuwen truly hadn't deceived him; this was indeed an internal cultivation technique that could strengthen the body's interior!
He also felt a sense of emotion. It was no wonder the Quan Yang Gao Clan was known as "The King and Gao, Sharing the World."
Such a precious internal cultivation technique was so casually bestowed upon a bandit.
This thought flashed by, and Qin Zheng turned the booklet open again, beginning to read its contents in detail.
A moment later, after Qin Zheng finished flipping through the last page of the booklet, the Merit Scroll above his sea of consciousness gave a gentle tremor.
Immediately, a line of text slowly emerged from it.
[Discovered martial art: Five Viscera Internal Cultivation Art. Can be refined. Requires ten taels of Merit. Refine?]
Ten taels of Merit?!
Qin Zheng's heart jolted.
This was, by far, the martial art that required the most Merit for him to refine!
The Ghost-head Saber Technique only needed one qian to refine.
The Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill only required one tael to refine.
This Five Viscera Internal Cultivation Art, just for its initial refinement, required a hundred times the Merit of the Ghost-head Saber Technique!
And ten times the Merit of the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill!
However, the more Merit a technique required, the higher its quality generally was.
So Qin Zheng didn't begrudge the cost. He immediately thought, "Refine!"
Instantly, a warm current appeared out of nowhere, flowing through his entire body, nourishing every inch of his flesh and blood.
At the same time, within his body, his five viscera began to vibrate at a specific frequency.
The five viscera: heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys!
Corresponding to the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth!
Balancing the body's Yin and Yang within the five elements!
They are the most important organs in the human body!
At this moment, guided by the Five Viscera Internal Cultivation Art, Qin Zheng's five viscera began to vibrate at a specific frequency.
Under this vibration, a torrent of vital energy emerged from his body, converging like a flood.
Then, with each vibration of his five viscera, this vital energy seemed to be guided.
It flowed along a specific trajectory, scouring Qin Zheng's flesh and blood.
With the special vibration of his five viscera, Qin Zheng could feel his internal body being strengthened and improved at an astonishing speed, almost like a metamorphosis!
