Martial Arts: My Talent Has No Limits

Chapter 40 Imprint Talent

"but......"

As Ruan Chen spoke, his tone suddenly changed.

"Do you remember what I said earlier about why Deacon Baili came here?"

"Even if there are exceptionally talented people in Songshan County."

"I'm afraid that's all we can do..."

He stopped speaking at this point.

With a meaningful look on his face, he raised his wine glass, took a small sip, and then squinted at the dancers.

Qin Jiu naturally understood the other party's meaning and pondered for a moment before saying, "If I were to offer up my Qin family's secret recipe, I wonder if I could be granted an opportunity to join a sect?"

"Well..."

Ruan Chen turned his head and said, "I know what Junior Brother Qin means."

"Therefore, before we came, Steward Baili specifically instructed that if you only want to become a retainer, you only need five thousand taels of silver. However, if you want to become a disciple of the Divine Fist Sect, you not only need that secret recipe, but also ten thousand taels of silver. After all, that secret recipe is precious to you, but it is just so-so to the Divine Fist Sect."

"I wonder if Junior Brother Qin can bear to part with it?"

"If we choose the latter..."

"Your Qin family can return to the sect with us. After that, the steward will make sure that you, or someone from your Qin family, become a disciple of the Divine Fist Sect as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Qin Jiu pondered for a moment.

Then he nodded.

"That's not a problem."

"However, I still have doubts. Demons and monsters are rampant in Songshan County, and there are even martial artists in the shadows capable of killing those above the Inner Strength level, such as the County Magistrate. Can your sect truly guarantee our safe departure from this place?"

"You don't need to worry about this."

Ruan Chen chuckled and said, "We have medicine provided by the sect that can ward off demons and monsters, so we can protect you and return to the sect safely."

Upon hearing this...

Qin Jiu secretly activated Zhaoyou.

He immediately saw two wisps of pale gray mist rising, but he didn't care much, as long as they didn't harbor any ill will towards him. He then turned his head to look at Qin Xuanzhou.

The latter understood and immediately walked out of the hall.

Ruan Chen and Song Wenruo exchanged a glance.

They also knew that the matter was already settled.

Soon.

When Qin Xuanzhou returned to the hall, he was carrying a tray.

"This is the secret recipe for cultivating spirit beasts in my Qin family. I will also entrust these ten thousand taels of silver to my two senior brothers to present to Steward Baili on my behalf."

"Also, these are for my two senior brothers."

Please don't refuse.

Qin Jiu handed over the secret recipe and the silver notes, and then gave each of them a thousand taels of silver notes.

Ruan Chen and Song Wenruo saw this.

His expression remained unchanged.

"Then we two will shamelessly accept it."

"Junior Brother Qin is generous."

"I hope you two senior brothers will take good care of me in the future. I would like to offer you both a toast."

In a short time.

The atmosphere at the dinner table quickly became lively as people toasted and drank.

The dancers around them also gathered around.

A fragrant breeze wafts through the air.

......

Sunset.

Ruan Chen left the Qin residence with unsteady steps.

Song Wenruo followed beside him, smacking her lips as if savoring the moment, and said, "These beauties are really something."

"A bunch of withered flowers and fallen willows."

"Only you, Lao Song, are so inexperienced."

"Ha, so that's why Senior Brother Ruan remained unmoved. He just didn't find them attractive. Of course, no matter how alluring these girls are, they're still just women of the night. How can they compare to the Moon of the Han family?"

Ruan Chen heard this.

A look of frustration involuntarily appeared on his face.

"The moon is beautiful."

"But it's really too aloof. I haven't even held her little hand in all this time. I don't know when my dream will come true."

Listening to his rambling, Song Wenruo said speechlessly, "Senior brother, if it were any other time, I could understand you if Han Zheng hadn't died, but now that Han Zheng is dead, what are you waiting for? If it were me, I would have already forced myself on him."

"What you're saying..."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Chen paused slightly at his feet.

His expression quickly returned to normal.

"never mind."

"I have something else to attend to. Take this recipe to the steward, but remember not to mention the money."

He handed the secret recipe to Song Wenruo.

He then turned and left.

He then hurriedly arrived at the Han residence.

"Senior Brother Ruan, I wonder if you've come here at night because Steward Baili has some instructions?"

"Junior Sister Han..."

Looking at the beautiful woman before him, Ruan Chen couldn't help but recall the images of the dancers from before. He then said, "Qingyue, let's get married, right here in the county town. After the wedding, we'll go back..."

"Senior Brother Ruan, have you been drinking?"

Han Qingyue frowned, about to say something, when she saw a figure rushing towards her.

She was startled.

She quickly dodged the attack and blurted out in a panic, "Senior Brother Ruan, Qingyue has already considered the matter of marriage."

"Yeah?"

Ruan Chen stopped in his tracks, looking at her with a look of surprise and delight.

"So what are your thoughts?"

"First of all, my father has just passed away, and Qingyue will have to wear mourning clothes for the time being." As Han Qingyue said this, she saw a flash of fierce light in Ruan Chen's eyes, and quickly added, "If that's all, it's fine. After all, we are both people of the martial world, and we don't stand on ceremony."

"However, Senior Brother Ruan, you are now almost at the end of your three refinements, and you are just one step away from breaking through to the Inner Strength level."

"If I were to lose my vital energy at this moment, it would be of no benefit to breaking through to the next realm."

"It might even cause a standstill."

"In Qingyue's heart, Senior Brother Ruan is a hero of our time. If this matter delays your progress in martial arts, Qingyue would rather smash her head against a wall right now than see Senior Brother become just another ordinary person."

Tears welled up in Han Qingyue's eyes.

Upon seeing this, Ruan Chen's heart skipped a beat, and his voice quickly softened.

"Junior sister, listen to me."

"Now that I have completed the third stage of cultivation, I only need to accumulate enough contribution points for the Heart Protection Pill to break through to the Inner Strength stage in one fell swoop. My martial arts will never stop here."

"Heart-protecting pill? That's only second to what Elder Baili sought."

With tears welling in her eyes, Han Qingyue asked, "At this rate, when will you ever accumulate enough sect contribution points?"

"Don't worry, it'll be quick."

"Today, the Qin family not only gave us the secret recipe, but also ten thousand taels of silver. In addition, the steward will reward the two of us when he returns to the sect. As long as I visit other forces in the county town, I will definitely be able to raise enough for the Heart Protection Pills..."

"Ten thousand taels?"

"The Qin family has at least 200,000 taels of silver. If you could ask for more, and with the Han family's assistance, you wouldn't have to work so hard, Senior Brother."

Han Qingyue lowered her head and spoke softly.

It seemed like he was complaining.

Upon hearing this, Ruan Chen's pager suddenly became very urgent.

"Two hundred thousand... taels?"

......

The Qin residence, east wing.

A block of iron, as cold as ice, was placed on the table.

Qin Jiu looked at the ice crystal that had just been brought back by the servants, and immediately reached out and grasped it. Then, with a thought, the piercing coldness in his hand disappeared, and the Crimson Seal resounded loudly at the same time.

The space of one's mind and spirit.

The illustration of the Ice Toad slowly faded away.

Then, a strange, icy feeling spread through my body.

"Pure..."

"Just as I expected."

"This talent makes my body immune to all poisons."
