Chapter 41: Xu Liu Catches Up

  At night, Qin Yong sat alone in the courtyard, although he had his own room, but Qin Yong was already used to practicing under the starry sky.

  Here lived Qin Yong and his family, Qin Tianyuan and Lin Xue would not come to disturb Qin Yong, and Qin Yu was the same. At this time, Qin Yong fully entered the state of cultivation, clearly feeling the improvement in cultivation speed, now Qin Yong was cultivating at a speed nearly six times that of ordinary people.

  This state, straight into the bone marrow, gave Qin Yong a kind of addictive feeling. It can be imagined that when this cultivation state passes, it will be very difficult to bear. But since it's already like this, Qin Yong couldn't possibly give up such a great opportunity just to get used to it later, maybe he could take advantage of the current situation and make a breakthrough to the seventh level of Qi Wu Jing, and after returning to Yun Hai Sect, he could directly advance to become an outer sect disciple.

  The true energy circulates, flowing through the two major meridians and sixteen acupoints. Qin Yong is already familiar with the application of the qigong technique, it's second nature to him, without any hindrance. Actually, Qin Yong also wanted to try running other meridians and acupoints, but in the end he gave up, not willing to try lightly. After all, each set of exercises was created by predecessors through hard research, since there are strict requirements that can only be done this way, there must be a reason behind it. When he advances to become an outer door disciple, he can replace with new exercises, no need to take risks now.

  Suddenly, Qin Yong's face changed slightly as he sat on the ground with his eyes closed, his eyebrows furrowed.

  Qin Yong felt a faint, weak pain in his meridians, which made him tense up at first, but soon relaxed. Normally, during cultivation, one wouldn't feel any pain in the meridians. After all, it's different from intense battles where one might forcibly erupt and possibly cause their meridians to burst due to excessive true energy impact. In this normal cultivation, with the true energy circulating in a controlled manner, the appearance of meridian distension pain is very likely a sign that his cultivation has reached a certain level and is about to break through.

  The true energy needs to be strengthened, which leads to the expansion of tendons and veins. Although Qin Yong had a breakthrough before, it was still a small-scale breakthrough in the middle stage of the Qi Wu realm. Now, it is still a small-scale breakthrough, but it is a progress from the middle stage to the later stage, which leads to the expansion of tendons and veins, this is a good thing.

  This is just a breakthrough in the later stage of Qi Wu Realm, and when breaking through Xuan Wu Realm, it will definitely be even more intense. No wonder everyone says that martial artists must have great perseverance, otherwise, even with talent and insight, it's hard to become a powerful expert. This is not only reflected in the dullness and boredom of daily cultivation, but also in the endurance during breakthroughs.

  "I'm not really breaking through yet, I still lack some foundation, but I have to keep trying hard and leave some leeway for when the real breakthrough comes, so that it will be easy to make progress then." Qin Yong quickly understood his own situation.

  Now I feel the breakthrough momentum, but it's still some distance from a real breakthrough. However, this can't be an excuse for slackening off. On the contrary, we must work even harder to reach the real breakthrough as soon as possible and achieve the seventh level of Qi Wu Jing in one go.

  The night flew by in a hurry, the sky turned white, and a bright sunlight shot into the courtyard. Qin Yong had been practicing in the courtyard for an entire night, feeling that he had reached his limit, before stopping his practice. At this time, Qin Yong was already drenched in sweat, his expression calm and normal, but his eyebrows were slightly twitching. Just after stopping his practice, his muscles still felt a stinging pain, which was an aftereffect of trying to break through. This quickly disappeared after Qin Yong stopped practicing, which also made him let out a sigh of relief.

  In any case, the foundation has been laid, and at this rate, after another night, tomorrow can truly break through to the seventh level of Qi Wu. As for now, Qin Yong, who had just undergone intense cultivation, felt that it was still temporarily stopped, as excessive effort is not desirable, and this is also true in martial arts cultivation.

  Just right, after half a day of cultivation, Qin Yong's physical strength was greatly consumed, and the increased blood and energy brought by the giant horned cow's flesh and blood were also almost completely consumed by Qin Yong. At this time, Qin Yong felt a little hungry in his stomach, thought for a moment, didn't go to Qin Tianyuan or Lin Xue, nor did he look for Qin Yu, went out to find something to eat outside.

  At this time, Qin Yong checked his status and found that the special state's blood amplification had disappeared. It would be best to go find some demon beast meat to eat again. However, if he were in Red Leaf Forest, Qin Yong still had some methods, but now he was in Yangmu City, and wanting to eat demon beast meat could only mean going to Man Yilou, but the price wasn't something Qin Yong could afford at present.

  Qin Yong couldn't help but think of Zhou Bo, if this big head would invite him to another meal, it would be great. Soon Qin Yong shook his head and laughed again, just thinking about it, if Zhou Bo really invited him, Qin Yong wouldn't go anyway. Now the sky had just brightened, but the vendors in Yangmu City had already set up early, Qin Yong found a stall selling breakfast food, ordered something, and sat down to eat.

  Qin Yong!

  Qin Yong had eaten halfway when a sudden shout came, like a thunderclap, making Qin Yong's hair stand on end, with a very dangerous feeling. Qin Yong looked over and saw that it was one of the two remaining bodyguards of Yun Shaoyang, who was now staring at him with a ferocious expression, his eyes bloodshot, and his forehead bulging with veins that kept twitching.

  "How did Xu Qi die!" Xu Liu stared at Qin Yong, his eyes like a sharp sword, his fists clenched tightly, suppressing the anger in his heart.

  Xu Liu couldn't help but get angry, Xu Qi was sent to kill Qin Yong, but he didn't return all day. Xu Liu was worried and asked Yun Shao Yang for help to check on him. Yun Shao Yang lived in the Man Yi Building, where there was no need to worry about danger, and his identity was also a deterrent, so no one dared to make a move. Yun Shao Yang agreed to Xu Liu's request, and as a result, Xu Liu searched all the way and finally found the scene of the attack, only to see Xu Qi's corpse.

  This situation immediately made Xu Liu extremely angry, and upon examining the state of Xu Qi's death, seeing that Xu Qi had died with his eyes open, Xu Liu was even more heartbroken. The seven brothers of the Xu family were not all biological brothers, but rather the remaining seven bloodlines of the Xu family. Coincidentally, Xu Liu and Xu Qi were true biological brothers, and seeing his younger brother dead, it's easy to imagine how furious Xu Liu must have been.

  Only Xu Liu understood that, relying on Qin Yong's strength, how could he possibly kill Xu Qi, and from the corpse, Xu Qi was pierced through the throat by a sword energy, at least it was also a Nine-Heavenly Stage of Qi Refining Realm, about to break through the Xuanwu Stage, a Half-Step Xuanwu Stage martial artist had such strength. This is a strong enemy, but Xu Liu will not let go of the opponent either, even if he can't kill him himself, he will let his brothers take action, they are indeed powerful martial artists in the Xuanwu Stage.

  But wanting to avenge, one must first know who the murderer is, which is why Xu Liu rushed to the Qin family. In Xu Liu's view, Xu Qi went to kill Qin Yong, so Qin Yong must know who the murderer is. As long as he captures Qin Yong and interrogates him, or even uses him as bait, he will definitely be able to find out who the murderer is. Therefore, after figuring out this relationship, Xu Liu immediately rushed to the Qin family, wanting to capture Qin Yong, but halfway there, he saw Qin Yong leisurely eating breakfast, thinking of his brother's unburied bones, while Qin Yong was so carefree and at ease, suddenly making Xu Liu's anger burn, and he went forward to interrogate him.
