Martial Arts: My Talent Has No Limits

Chapter 39: Disciple, Disciple

Animal Park.

After Qin Jiu killed three spirit beasts in succession.

He then stopped what he was doing.

His brows were tightly furrowed.

These three spirit beasts mostly possessed blue and white-grade talents, and there were currently eleven spirit beasts remaining in the garden. He did not intend to continue, as three spirit beasts were already too many for entertaining the people from the Divine Fist Sect today.

If they continue killing, no talent will emerge that can be imprinted.

That's such a waste.

"Use this thorn rat and the phoenix-tailed snake to make medicinal cuisine. After processing the other one, put it in the ice cellar."

He gave Xu Zheng an instruction.

Then he went to the courtyard next door to practice his skills.

Soon.

Wang Yue's figure also appeared inside the Hundred Beasts Garden.

He watched the flashing blades in the courtyard, his expression a mixture of shock and relief. He murmured, "It seems the young master has seen blood. And in such a short time, he has broken through to the third level of the Refinement Realm. Truly, Heaven blesses the Qin family; Heaven has eyes!"

"Uncle Wang, what brings you here?"

Qin Jiu sensed something, sheathed his longsword, and looked towards the doorway.

He frowned slightly and said, "Didn't I tell you to rest and recuperate in peace?"

"This old servant has almost fully recovered."

Wang Yue came to his senses, shook his head and laughed, "I don't know if it's because this pill is powerful or because this old servant is lucky. Although my body was injured by true qi before, not only have those injuries been healed, but even the hidden injuries left by the backlash of the Overlord Blade have all disappeared."

"Although this old servant's life is nearing its end."

"But my strength has now recovered to its peak, so I wanted to see if there was anything I could do to help you, young master."

Qin Jiu heard this.

He couldn't help but shake his head.

They then informed the other party of the Qin family's plans after leaving the county town. After all, although the county magistrate was ambushed, his fate was unknown, and it could not be said that he was definitely dead. This could be seen from the fact that the master of Canghai Martial Arts Hall and the master of Siji Medicine Hall had not yet returned to the county town.

He wanted to hear what Wang Yue had to say.

"Entering the country?"

Wang Yue was taken aback at first, then pondered for a while before saying, "That's not bad."

"But right now, demons are rampant outside the city. If we move away from the county seat, the risks along the way will be enormous. You know, the county magistrate led us here to eliminate those powerful demons, but as you know, young master..."

"Those demons are still alive, but we don't know where they're hiding now."

"Those people from the Divine Fist Sect you mentioned..."

"Forgive this old servant for speaking frankly, but an inner guard steward, even if he comes from a major clan, is still just an inner guard. And the demons outside the city, there is more than one great demon that wiped out the Zhao family."

"I have naturally considered this matter as well."

Qin Jiu nodded and said, "This is also why I invited the members of the Divine Fist Sect today. Since they were able to arrive in the county town safely, they must have many ways to avoid demons. It's always good to test them out."

"Should this old servant go over there?"

"Need not."

Qin Jiu shook his head, then said, "I had someone search for ice crystals in the city a few days ago. You could go and keep an eye on them for me. If you don't want to, you can go to the old lady's place. Recently, demons have been rampaging in the inner city, and I'm a little worried about the old lady's safety."

......

Soon.

It was noon.

In the front courtyard of the Qin mansion, an opera troupe set up a stage to perform, while a table in the reception hall was laden with wine and dishes, their aroma filling the entire hall.

"A distinguished disciple of the Divine Fist Sect has arrived!"

suddenly.

A loud, clear voice rang out.

Qin Jiu hurriedly walked out of the hall and went to the entrance of the Qin residence to greet them.

But he froze as soon as he stepped out.

Because it was in front of the mansion gate.

There were only two figures at this moment.

"Senior brothers, why isn't Deacon Baili here?"

"Deacon Baili is practicing his martial arts."

Ruan Chen said unhappily, "What? Can't we come over just because it's only the two of us?"

"Senior Brother Ruan, what are you saying?"

"The presence of my two senior brothers is a great honor to the Qin family. Please come in, please come in."

Qin Jiu gestured for him to enter.

Although it was somewhat unexpected.

However, if the Divine Fist Sect sends someone, it proves that the matter of joining the sect still needs to be discussed.

He led the two into the hall.

On the stage outside the hall, instead of actors, stood several daringly dressed dancers, who were now gracefully performing.

The two people had not yet taken their seats.

A fiery look appeared on their faces.

"Junior Brother Qin, where did you find this opera troupe? They're quite good."

"Oh?"

Qin Jiu first invited them to sit down.

Then, with a faint smile, she turned to Qin Xuanzhou standing behind her and said, "Let them come in and dance. It's tiring to watch them standing so far away."

How could he not see through their thoughts?

He immediately gave an order.

This made both Ruan Chen and Song Wenruo very happy.

"Senior brothers, this is wine brewed with precious herbs, and this is meat from a first-tier spirit beast raised in my residence using a secret recipe. Please try it and see if it suits your taste?"

"Junior Brother Qin, you're too kind."

Ruan Chen came to his senses and waved his hand, saying, "Even in my Divine Fist Sect, we can't eat spirit beasts every day."

"Let's get down to business first."

His expression turned serious, and he said, "You invited the two of us here today, presumably because of what we discussed yesterday, right? Since you're so sincere today, I won't hold back anymore."

"First of all, the Divine Fist Sect is about to enter the pass. If you wish to join the sect, you will need to follow them into the pass."

"Secondly, our sect also has quotas for recruiting disciples."

"Retainers?"

Qin Jiu looked surprised.

Seeing this, Ruan Chen nodded and said, "When selecting disciples, the sect prioritizes its retainers. Therefore, all disciples who enter our Divine Fist Sect are chosen from among the retainers unless they are exceptionally talented. You can think of retainers as servants or children."

"Originally, the sect had no intention of recruiting disciples in Songshan."

"The reason we came here is because Deacon Baili proposed to the sect that there are actually not many spots available this time. As for why Deacon Baili insisted on coming here, what we said yesterday explains the reason."

"To be honest."

"Within this city, anyone who can help a deacon break through to a higher level can be directly accepted into a sect."

"So, you should understand what I mean, right?"

Qin Jiu's heart sank upon hearing this.

He knew that Baili Ce probably wanted to use his trip to Songshan County to accumulate wealth in preparation for exchanging it for sect contributions and breaking through to the realm beyond the Inner Strength. However, becoming a mere retainer was far from what he expected.

Most importantly...

"Senior Brother Ruan, may I ask if, after becoming a disciple, I may bring others to accompany you back to the sect?"

"Others?"

Ruan Chen's eyes flickered slightly, and then he exchanged a glance with Song Wenruo.

"Junior Brother Qin, are you referring to a family like the Han family, who sent their entire clan into the pass with the sect?"

You might be mistaken about that.

He shook his head and said, "You should know that the reason why the Han family was able to leave with us is because of my identity as an inner disciple of the Divine Fist Sect. And coincidentally, I admire Qingyue, so I made a promise to her."

"But if he were a retainer..."

"I can only say, it's very difficult..."

"Unless you can become a core disciple of the Divine Fist Sect."
