Martial Arts: My Talent Has No Limits

Chapter 24 Demonic Appearance

The Qin residence, east wing.

inside the room.

Qin Jiu placed the item wrapped in black cloth on the table, then opened it, revealing a wooden box.

This was the Yin-Yang soil that he had previously sent someone to find.

This thing has a rather intimidating name.

It was actually just soil pressed under the coffin.

Of course, their graves would take a hundred years to complete.

Only then can Yinming Soil be produced.

"I wonder how that kid got this thing. I hope he didn't secretly dig up someone's ancestral grave."

"The conditions for imprinting Blood Fiend are quite bizarre."

"They actually need this."

He shook his head inwardly.

He then reached out and brushed the soil inside the box.

Although the conditions for imprinting are bizarre, Qin Jiu still doesn't want to let go of a purple-grade talent. Now that he has entered the second stage of refinement, the number of talents that the Crimson Seal can support has increased from three to nine.

At such a quantity.

There's no reason to give up on the engraving just because of these bizarre conditions.

While pondering.

The crimson mark in the small space of the mind.

At the same time, a rumbling sound was heard.

The grotesque beast image in the encyclopedia then slowly faded away.

A feeling of sudden enlightenment arose within me.

Qin Jiu subconsciously activated the newly imprinted Blood Fiend talent.

'Buzz'

In the blink of an eye.

His once robust physique, built up through martial arts practice, visibly thinned, and his face turned deathly pale in an instant.

"..."

In that instant.

Qin Jiu gasped and quickly deactivated the ability.

"Bloodlust..."

"His talent is so effective."

His expression shifted between light and dark.

This talent is the ability to condense one's vital energy and blood, allowing for personal transformation.

The most terrifying aspect of this is...

It is the blood essence that can be absorbed from other living beings to nourish the body.

"How is this any different from a demon...?"

Qin Jiu was very unsettled.

He closed his eyes slightly and felt a kind of Yin energy appear in his blood and qi after activating his talent.

And the faint internal energy within the body.

At this moment, it is merging with that evil energy.

"Is this the change brought about by the transformation of Qi and blood?"

Reaching out and pressing down on the table in front of him, Qin Jiu slightly channeled his inner energy, immediately leaving a palm print.

And inside the palm print.

The desktop is made of precious ironwood.

It was being corroded into tiny holes, as fine as pinholes, and a cold, decaying aura was spreading out.

Upon seeing this, Qin Jiu took a deep breath.

"Swords may be sharp, but if the user is a member of the demonic path, they become blood-slaying demonic weapons. However, if they fall into the hands of the righteous path, they become sharp blades for slaying demons and eliminating evil. I should face myself squarely and not reject anything."

"However, it's best not to reveal this internal strength to others."

He thought so.

In fact.

Aside from the less-than-ideal outward appearance, the improvement gained from this condensation of qi and blood is extremely significant.

It had only been a short time since the talent was activated.

Qin Jiu appeared to have lost a lot of weight and his face had become pale and weak, but that was only due to the depletion of his qi and blood. In fact, his strength had increased by nearly 30% at this moment.

If he were to fight Huang Jing and the other two again.

He was absolutely confident that he could quickly take care of the two of them with sheer force.

"If you add inward-flowing internal energy containing malevolent energy..."

Qin Jiu's thoughts were in turmoil.

He took a bottle of pills from his bosom and poured them into his mouth.

He walked out of the room with unsteady steps.

"Uncle Wang, could you please go to the storeroom and fetch some Blood Strengthening Pills for me?"

"Young Master, what's wrong...?"

Wang Yue was greatly surprised.

They quickly stepped forward to help him up.

But he stopped halfway through his sentence. After all, the other party had made several breakthroughs in less than a month and directly entered the second stage of cultivation. There must be some secret behind it, and it would be inappropriate to ask any further questions.

He pondered for a moment, then helped Qin Jiu to the pavilion before hurriedly leaving the east wing.

Soon.

Then he took the pills over.

Qin Jiu poured out a pill and threw it into his mouth. He then activated the "Withered Tree Rejuvenates" technique, and a rosy complexion quickly rose on his face.

"These pills, and even spirit beasts, etc."

"They can all nourish my qi and blood."

"Indeed, the Blood Fiend should not be regarded as a monstrous flood. With the aid of elixirs, my Qi and blood can be refined, and its Yin energy can further enhance my combat power. As long as I do not use this talent to do anything immoral, who dares to say that I am not on the righteous path?"

Think about this.

Qin Jiu suddenly felt the gloom dissipate.

He then glanced at Wang Yue, who remained indifferent, showing none of the earlier surprise or doubt.

"Young Master, news has come back from the Demon Suppression Division."

"Oh?"

Qin Jiu raised an eyebrow.

Wang Yue said in a low voice, "Those three have now all joined the Demon Suppression Division, and your previous attempt to exchange for some exemptions from transfers has yielded an unexpected surprise. As a reward, the county magistrate has exempted the Qin family from all future transfers."

"Now the Qin family can make their own choice."

"If you want to join the Demon Suppression Division, you can sign up directly. If you don't want to go, no one will come to recruit you."

"It was indeed a pleasant surprise."

Qin Jiu's face lit up with joy.

His original plan was to have Fu Hanchuan recruit Qin Jingming and two others in exchange for some exemptions from being transferred.

Unexpectedly, things turned out differently.

"Won't this make those three people resentful?"

Wang Yue asked hesitantly.

Qin Jiu sneered, "This was unavoidable, but they don't have time to resent anyone now."

The Qin family is not a family they can simply leave on a whim.

Those three people benefited from the Qin family for many years.

After cutting it in two.

Naturally, the final accounts must be settled, and the debts must be fully repaid.

As for resentment...

Qin Jiu wasn't worried about anything.

Firstly, the Qin family still has Wang Yue guarding it, and secondly, given some time, he is confident that he can defeat a third-level martial artist, so there is no need to worry.

"There's one more thing."

At this time.

Wang Yue spoke again, saying, "These past few days, the Qian family has lost all its experts due to manpower being redeployed, and its business has been completely divided up by other forces, including the Fishing Gang and the Wood Gang."

"them?"

Qin Jiu frowned slightly.

The people behind the fishing gang and the firewood gang.

Although it is still impossible to determine the truth, under the bright sunlight that day, neither the county magistrate nor Fu Hanchuan showed any ill will towards the Qin family, which suggests that they may not be the ones manipulating things behind the scenes.

......

Time turns.

Five days have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past few days, the outer city has been filled with cries of despair, and demons, like weeds that cannot be burned out, have been relentlessly attacking in.

The Demon Suppression Division is powerless.

The only option is to continuously draw manpower from various powerful factions to deal with the situation.

Each family is suffering immensely.

And on this day.

Qin Jiu was practicing his martial arts in the courtyard.

With a worried look on his face, Wang Yue hurriedly came to the east wing to report.

"Young master, someone from the county government has come to inform you."

"I need you to go to the Demon Suppression Division now."

"Now?"

Qin Jiu frowned.

Logically speaking...

The county magistrate exempted the Qin family from the conscription quota. If the Demon Suppression Division had nothing urgent to attend to, they certainly wouldn't have allowed him to go. But if there was something urgent...

"Are we going to have to recruit people from the Qin family again?"

His heart sank immediately.

However, after bringing Wang Yue to the Demon Suppression Division.

Qin Jiu was taken aback.

At this moment, all the strong warriors in Songshan County, such as Han Zheng, Nan Zhenxiong, Tang Yu, etc., gathered in the main hall of the Demon Suppression Division.
