NOVPUB"Gu Family Manor!"
Jiang Qin’s expression remained unchanged as he looked towards the Gu Family Manor, where he could see a surge of Blood Qi that was nearly invisible to the naked eye.
It was an interaction that only strong martial artists could perceive.
"This person is indeed extraordinary!"
"I’m afraid that even an ordinary martial artist in the Marrow Cleansing Realm might not possess such Blood Qi!"
Jiang Qin felt a slight heaviness in his heart.
Before he arrived, he didn’t take Gu Qingfeng seriously, even though the other had slain the Green Sun Ancestor.
After all, the Green Sun Ancestor wasn’t considered very strong, at least in the eyes of the Evil Suppression Bureau.
But now.
Jiang Qin understood.
The strength of Gu Qingfeng was indeed not to be underestimated.
Such robust Blood Qi was not something an ordinary martial artist could have.
And.
Jiang Qin believed.
His arrival must also have been perceived by the other party.
Sure enough.
Not long after Jiang Qin had this thought, he saw the main gate of the Gu Family Manor open, and Gu Peng walked out to greet him politely.
"I am Gu Peng, the current Outer Hall Master of Gu Family Manor, ordered by our manor master to invite our distinguished guest inside for a visit!"
"Um."
Jiang Qin gave Gu Peng a casual glance, then nodded slightly and followed him inside.
To him, a martial artist at the Initial Stage of Blood Refining.
Was like an ant in his eyes.
In the entire Gu Family Manor, only the manor master himself warranted some respect from him.
Entering the main hall.
Jiang Qin then saw a middle-aged man sitting at the head of the room.
As their eyes met, the air seemed to freeze for a moment.
"Manor master, your guest has been brought in!"
Gu Peng’s words broke the silence in the hall.
Gu Qingfeng waved his hand: "You may step back now!" 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝓬ℴ𝓶
"Yes!"
Gu Peng withdrew.
Afterward.
Gu Qingfeng looked at Jiang Qin again and smiled slightly: "I do not know where you hail from, sir. May I ask what brings you to the Gu Family Manor today?"
"I am Jiang Qin, Deputy Commander of the Evil Suppression Bureau in Guangyang Prefecture. I have heard that Lord Gu has slain the Green Sun Ancestor and eradicated the Green Sun Sect. Thus, I have specifically come to invite Lord Gu to join our Evil Suppression Bureau,"
Jiang Qin got straight to the point, without any intention to hide.
After all, the fame of the Evil Suppression Bureau was thunderous to many forces.
This identity.
Gave Jiang Qin ample confidence.
"Evil Suppression Bureau!"
Gu Qingfeng’s expression flickered slightly.
He had considered many possibilities, but he hadn’t expected someone from the Evil Suppression Bureau to come personally.
Standing with hands behind his back, Jiang Qin’s demeanor was somewhat aloof: "The Evil Suppression Bureau is a force under the court, containing numerous strong martial artists, and powerful magicians are commonplace there."
"Magicians who haven’t even stepped into the Spirit-controlling Realm, like the Green Sun Ancestor, aren’t in short supply within the Evil Suppression Bureau."
"One should be aware that the path of martial arts is difficult. Even if one has entered the Grandmaster Realm, what of it? They are nothing before a truly powerful magician.
Our Evil Suppression Bureau possesses the Secret Technique of Evil Refining, and should Lord Gu be willing to join the Evil Suppression Bureau, and later on, if you establish meritorious deeds, earning the Evil Refining Secret Technique is not an impossibility."
With that said.
Jiang Qin casually found an empty seat and sat down, waiting for Gu Qingfeng’s response.
In his opinion.
There was no possibility of refusal from the other party.
Not to mention that the Evil Suppression Bureau was an institution subordinate to the court, joining the Evil Suppression Bureau conferred a level of status that was incomparable with ordinary forces in the Martial World.
Then.
It was the Secret Technique of Evil Refining.
No one did not harbor the vain hope for immortality.
Although none who practiced Evil Refining ever truly achieved immortality, they still managed to live much longer than the average martial artist.
Just this alone.
Was something no one could refuse.
"There’s something I’d like to ask Commander Jiang for advice on!"
Gu Qingfeng did not directly agree, nor did he outright refuse, but instead shifted the topic with a change of tone.
Jiang Qin frowned slightly.
"What is it?"
"Commander Jiang said it’s difficult to succeed in Martial Arts. Could it be that in the Martial World, Grandmaster is truly the limit? Is there no one strong enough to break through the barrier of Grandmaster and enter a higher level?"
"For ordinary martial artists, Grandmaster is indeed the limit. In fact, many martial artists struggle to even touch the realms of Marrow Cleansing and Refining Organs.
However, observing Lord Gu, with your robust vitality and blood, you must be close to the Refining Organ Realm, even if you haven’t stepped into it yet.
If you live long enough, you might even have the chance to become a Grandmaster!"
Jiang Qin paused after saying this.
"As for whether there’s a level above Grandmaster, historically, there have been a few gifted individuals who, through various fortunate circumstances, managed to break through the barrier of Grandmaster and enter the realm of Great Grandmaster.
According to legend, a Great Grandmaster’s vitality and blood are as strong as the blazing sun, their power incomparable to that of an ordinary Grandmaster, and they can even tear apart forbidden zones with their bare hands, living up to eight hundred years!"
"But this level is merely the stuff of legend. There are many martial artists in the world, and even over the span of a hundred years, it is rare for a Great Grandmaster to emerge."
"Furthermore, what does it matter if one becomes a Great Grandmaster? After eight hundred years, they too will turn into a handful of yellow soil. Only by practicing Evil Refining and becoming a Magician can one truly escape this fate."
Jiang Qin’s words were telling the other party that the Martial Arts path ultimately had its limits, and even becoming a Grandmaster or Great Grandmaster was just a transient achievement.
To take refuge with the Evil Suppression Bureau.
To obtain the method of Evil Refining.
Only then would one find the true path.
Yet.
Gu Qingfeng was currently digesting Jiang Qin’s words.
Great Grandmaster!
Forbidden zones!
He had learned many things he had never heard of before from the other’s words.
"May I ask what is meant by ’forbidden zones’?"
Gu Qingfeng asked once again.
Jiang Qin grew somewhat impatient, but still gave an answer.
"Forbidden zones are places formed by Disaster Level Evil Spirits. Within these zones, Evil Spirits are virtually invincible.
And once a forbidden zone is established, it’s difficult for any living creature to enter or leave.
Therefore, whenever a forbidden zone appears, it signifies the extinction of all life in that area, and for this reason, such existences are given the name ’forbidden zones.’"
I see!
Gu Qingfeng’s expression showed his understanding.
This was what a forbidden zone was.
Disaster Level Evil Spirits.
Suddenly.
A thought struck Gu Qingfeng, and he took out the black powder he had obtained earlier, manipulating it with the power of his vitality and blood, allowing the jade box containing the powder to land in front of Jiang Qin.
"May I ask Commander Jiang, do you recognize this substance?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qin’s gaze fell on the black powder, and the chilly aura it exuded caused a slight change in his expression.
"It seems I have underestimated you indeed; I didn’t expect you to be able to slay such a strange creature!"
"Strange creature?"
Gu Qingfeng looked puzzled.
Jiang Qin explained, "In this world, Evil Spirits are almost undying and indestructible, beyond the reach of common folk to slay, only Evil Spirits have the ability to cut down and devour one another."
"During the era when Evil Spirits ran rampant, the living suffered torment, and the collected resentment of all beings eventually gave birth to something else."
"This thing is known as ’strange creature!’"
"Strange creatures are not as hard to deal with as Evil Spirits, but they can affect the minds of martial artists, causing them to unknowingly sink into darkness. Many powerful beings have fallen into such traps without realizing it.
By the time they come to their senses, their vitality and blood have been sucked dry by the strange creature, leaving them to die in regret."
