Happy Residence Square, Jia's Casino. There were not many people, but not few either.
In addition to the owner, Boss Jia, there was also the shop assistant Xie Tian, the sensible Brother Ma, the joyous father and son of the Zhou Family, and the gentle and courteous Wen Shui.
There was a bonfire next to the stone table. Brother Ma, who had the lowest status among them, was shirtless, sprinkling his culinary wisdom on a sheep. The fire reflected his happy face. Perhaps he didn't even know why he was so happy.
"Xie Tian, you, you really killed Lin Shahu?" Zhou Zhaoyang's face was red. He was obviously drunk, but it was also because he drank too much that he had the courage to ask this question.
Xie Tian nodded, then shook his head. "He lost his will to fight."
With just one sentence, everyone understood. At the same time, they also understood. Anyone who saw a twelve-year-old boy in front of them break through to the Inner Qi Realm would be scared out of their wits.
However, understanding was one thing. Hearing Xie Tian admit to killing Lin Shahu with their own eyes, they were still extremely shocked. Even though Lin Shahu had lost his will to fight, he was not someone that could be easily bullied. It was just like how a four-year-old child could kill a strong man without moving at all? Dream on.
Moreover, Lin Shahu was a martial artist in the middle stage of the Inner Qi Realm. The gap between the first and fourth stage of the Inner Qi Realm was even greater than the gap between the ninth and second stage of the Brute Force State. Although Xie Tian did not defeat Xu Zhantang, who was at the third stage of the Inner Qi Realm, he had created a more terrifying legend.
"You, you're a freak!" Zhou Zhaoyang remembered how he had acted tough in front of Xie Tian. He was about to drink some wine to relieve his boredom when his eyes suddenly lit up. "Did Lin Shahu also act tough?"
"He said he would dig my heart out." Xie Tian paused, then said, "He also said he would kill me with one palm."
"Hahahaha …" Zhou Zhaoyang laughed until his whole body convulsed.
Although Wen Shui was equally shocked, after experiencing the Yin God Peak incident, he already had a strong resistance to Xie Tian's evilness. However, when he thought of something, he still frowned and asked, "Your Inner Qi Realm cultivation method, is it the Qi Jing?"
"Yes." Xie Tian was stunned for a moment before he nodded and replied.
Wen Shui and the father and son of the Zhou Family were stunned. They would rather believe that Xie Tian had killed Lin Shahu than believe that Xie Tian had cultivated the trashiest Scripture of Qi in the Inner Qi Realm.
"Xie Tian, you, sigh!" Wen Shui sighed heavily and said bitterly, "Even if you don't know, you should ask me. You shouldn't cultivate recklessly!"
Zhou Boran stayed in the Inner Yard and had always been a little reserved. At this moment, he also frowned and advised, "Fortunately, you just broke through today. It won't be too difficult for you to change your cultivation method."
"Is your Qi channel not good?" Xie Tian asked.
"I know this!" Zhou Zhaoyang said hurriedly, "It is said that a long time ago, the Qi Jing was an extremely powerful cultivation method. Its rank even reached the ultimate rank. Because of cultivating the Qi Jing, Inner Qi grew the fastest, and no cultivation method could surpass it. However, warriors later discovered that although the Qi Jing had this benefit, the Inner Qi it produced was too impure."
At this point, Xie Tian frowned. The situation of his cultivation was the exact opposite of what Zhou Zhaoyang had said. The amount of Inner Qi produced in his body was pitifully small, but the purity of it surpassed Xu Zhantang, who was at Inner Qi Realm Stage Three.
"You should know that if you want to break through the Inner Qi Realm, your Inner Qi must meet two conditions. First, the amount of Inner Qi, and second, the purity of the Inner Qi Realm. If you lack one of the two, you will never be able to open your meridians and break through the realm. Xie Tian, you should change your cultivation method, otherwise … "Zhou Zhaoyang paused and did not continue.
Seeing that Xie Tian was silent, Wen Shui could not help but say anxiously, "Xie Tian, this matter concerns your future. Don't be willful."
"Actually, it's okay." Xie Tian thought for a while, raised his index finger, and lightly inserted it into the stone table.
The three of them looked at the small hole in the stone table and trembled. Then, they looked at Xie Tian, their expressions as if they had seen a ghost.
"What a monster!"
Zhou Boran sighed. He was shocked to the extreme by Xie Tian. Not only did he comprehend Xingyi from Xu Zhantang's Xingyi Fist, but he also comprehended that abnormal fist due to Xu Zhantang's forceful coercion. Not only that, he cultivated the worst cultivation method, the Qi Jing, but his Inner Qi was actually so pure …
"I'll drink …" Zhou Boran followed his son's example, picking up the bottle and gulping it down.
Wen Shui was overjoyed. Although he had lost his cultivation, he still had his eyesight. Xie Tian's finger did not use brute force, but purely relied on Inner Qi. To be able to pierce through the stone table so easily, the purity of his Inner Qi was simply incredible.
"Haha, I knew you wouldn't act recklessly." Wen Shui smiled and said happily, "Your Inner Qi is pure, and the Qi Jing can greatly improve your Inner Qi. I'm afraid it won't be long before you break through the realm …"
Pfft!
Pfft!
"You guys chat, let's go see if the lamb is ready." After the Zhou Family's father and son finished their insults, they silently cursed him for being abnormal. They stood up and walked to the side of Brother Ma and sat down on the small stool, their backs bleak.
"Dad, we shouldn't have come."
"Brat, if you didn't force me to come … Hmph, I'll deal with you when we get back."
…
Xie Tian looked at Zhou Boran who kept rubbing Zhou Zhaoyang's head. Zhou Zhaoyang looked wronged but did not dare to resist. He laughed.
He really liked to laugh.
"I have very little Inner Qi." Withdrawing his gaze, Xie Tian turned the wine glass in his hand and said in Silence, "And the situation in my body is a little strange, a little different from ordinary people."
Wen Shui was a little nervous and asked in a low voice, "What's the situation?"
"The Twelve Standard Meridians and Eight Extraordinary Meridians in my body are all open."
With a bang, the Zhou Family's father and son, who were eavesdropping, lost their balance and fell flat on their backs. After getting up, they looked at each other in a daze, then stood up at the same time and said absentmindedly, "Well, there's something at home, we'll leave first, you guys talk."
After that, the two walked crookedly toward the gate of the inner court. On the way, Zhou Zhaoyang was slapped on the back of his head by Zhou Boran.
Wen Shui completely ignored the two and stared at Xie Tian with his pupils dilated to the limit. He even forgot to breathe until Xie Tian sensed that Wen Shui was about to convulse and hurriedly sent a few streams of Primordial Yang to him. Only then did Wen Shui recover and wake up.
"Phew …" Wen Shui let out a long breath and murmured in disbelief, "This is unheard of, unheard of! All twenty meridians are open, this, this … this is unbelievable! "
Xie Tian nodded. He also felt that it was unbelievable. From Stage 1 to Stage 3 of Inner Qi, a martial artist had to open one meridian for every increase in cultivation. From Stage 4 to Stage 6 of Inner Qi, two meridians had to be opened for every increase in cultivation, and three meridians had to be opened for every increase in cultivation.
Therefore, even a Stage 9 Inner Qi expert could only open 18 of the 20 meridians in the body. Only a martial artist with Great Completion of Inner Qi would open the last two meridians when breaking through to the Innate Realm.
Because of this, all the peerless experts who had reached the Xiantian realm were called Xiantian body, because all the meridians in their body had been opened. Conversely, the same was true. Anyone who had all twenty meridians opened was a Xiantian realm martial artist.
"Now, it doesn't make sense …" Wen Shui drank five cups of wine in a row before he managed to suppress his shock. He looked at Xie Tian, who was at Stage 1 of Inner Qi, and smiled bitterly, "Does this mean that you don't need to go through all the trouble to open your meridians? As long as your Inner Qi is abundant and pure, you can reach the Innate Realm?"
Xie Tian was about to nod when he suddenly remembered something. He shook his head and said, "Stage 10."
Hearing this, Wen Shui's right hand trembled violently and he almost threw his wine cup. "Fortunately, the head of the Zhou Family and Chaoyang have already left. Otherwise, I'm afraid that they … Haha, Xie Tian, you can definitely break through. I believe in you!"
"The whole roasted lamb is ready. Mr. Boss, Xiao … Xie Tian, Elder Wen Shui, have a taste!"
Wen Shui nodded in thanks. Just as he was about to pick up a knife to cut the lamb, Xie Tian's knife had already reached his bowl. With a light shake, the thin lamb fell into the bowl.
"Uh, this Shadow Moon Knife …" Wen Shui's eyes bulged slightly. He was a little stunned to see the brand new Shadow Moon Knife.
Xie Tian smiled and said, "Zheng Chun gave it to me. I've never seen blood before."
Wen Shui, who didn't know the inside story, nodded happily. Thinking of what happened on the high platform in the afternoon, he couldn't help but say, "Xie Tian, this is how you conduct yourself. Don't talk too fast and make enemies for no reason."
"I'm not that bored," Xie Tian finished chewing the lamb in his mouth and gave a thumbs up to Brother Ma before replying softly.
Wen Shui didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Then how do you explain what you said to the Director in the afternoon?"
Xie Tian thought for a while and asked, "You mean to curry favor with someone powerful?"
"Yes."
"I really don't understand. That's why I asked him."
Wen Shui didn't believe it. He rolled his eyes and was about to say something. Mr. Jia, who was drunk and drowsy, grinned and said, "Haha, this guy doesn't even know how to work in a brothel. Elder Wen Shui, what do you expect him to know? My little buddy is so pure and lovable! "
Wen Shui shook his head with a bitter smile. His unintentional words had made the Emperor of Song fall down in anger. If he had intended it, wouldn't he have angered the Emperor to death?
After three rounds of drinking, Xie Tian carried the drunk Mr. Jia back to the inner room. While he was still drunk, he gave him a massage. After some Primordial Yang energy passed, he left the inner room and sat side by side with Wen Shui to watch the stars.
"Is this Mr. Jia nice to you?"
Xie Tian nodded and looked at Wen Shui, "Just like you."
"Seems like he's a man of character." Wen Shui smiled. His eyes were a little blurred. After a long silence, he murmured, "Do you only have eight days left to live?"
"Yes," Xie Tian looked at the stars in the night sky and replied softly.
"I can't tell."
Xie Tian smiled, "I used to think about it. The closer I am to death, the less I think about it."
"I don't know if I should ask," Wen Shui thought for a while and asked, "Can the martial art you practice save you?"
Xie Tian thought for a while and said uncertainly, "I'm not sure. I should have died two months ago, but I took a Supreme Grade Essence Yang Pill."
Wen Shui nodded and his face turned ugly, "Supreme Grade Essence Yang Pill can provide a large amount of Primordial Yang to a martial artist. If someone who has lost their Primordial Yang takes it, it can replace their Primordial Yang and allow them to live for another three months. However, when the medicinal effect is exhausted, the rate of Primordial Yang disappearing will increase by a hundred times and the person will instantly turn into a pile of bones."
"Hmm, then I might not be able to make it." Xie Tian nodded and stood up unnaturally. Then, he sat down again. After these two actions, the slight trembling of his body disappeared. He completely chased away the fear of death and regained his calmness.
Although he reached the tenth level of the Brute Force Realm with great perseverance and wisdom, the great success of the Essence Cultivation Technique could not save him.
Seeing this, Wen Shui's heart ached. Because of the impending death, the usually calm Xie Tian could not help but feel uneasy. However, it was just uneasiness.
The great terror of life and death was transcended by Xie Tian's standing and sitting posture.
How much courage does one need to transcend life and death?
Luckily, Elder Gong knelt down for you and gave you a way out!
As he thought, Wen Shui's eyes were filled with tears.
