Chapter 69 Luo Wang Mansion

Chapter 69 Luo Wang Mansion

"Master, what is a half-demon? Is there any connection with demons?"

Li Qian asked the doubts in his mind.

"Half-demons have not appeared for a long time. The most recent record in history can be traced back to the Taiping Rebellion at the end of the Great Yan Dynasty. Half-demons participated in it. When the Chang Dynasty was established and the Taiping Religion was completely wiped out, half-demons disappeared."

Zhou Buping said in a deep voice: "Looking back at the past dynasties, whenever a half-demon caused trouble, it was always accompanied by the arrival of a chaotic era. It seems that the previous Moon Worship Cult rebellion was far from being so simple."

"Taiping Cult?"

Li Qian was surprised.

He has read some books on the geography and history of Changguo.

The Taiping County that I visited before is the origin of the Taiping Rebellion.

Could it be that the half-demon that appeared this time is related to the extinct Taiping Sect?
"There are actually two theories about half-demons. One is that they actively absorb the energy of the demon stone, which causes them to be alienated, but they use special methods to control the degree of alienation, so that they can maintain the normal human form. The second is that they are the descendants of demons and humans. Although they are both human, they have demon blood lurking in their bodies, which can be discovered by using the energy of the demon stone."

Zhou Buping continued, "No matter which one it is, to us humans, they are all alien and cannot be tolerated by humans. Therefore, the fact that you use the demon stone to cultivate the Immaculate Sword Body must not be exposed, so as not to be mistaken for a half-demon."

Li Qian nodded, "Master, I understand."

"Alas, it's a pity that you didn't break through earlier, otherwise, you would have been the one who followed Master Uncle to Yujing."

Zhou Buping sighed.

"Master, isn't it just to attend the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet? There's nothing to regret. I don't really like to join in on this kind of fun."

Li Qian said.

"Going to Yujing is not just to attend the birthday banquet of the Empress Dowager. Not long ago, Yujing sent a message via eagle that the disciple of the Master of Dishui Peak, Chang Xiaoyao, has entered the Royal Shenwu Academy for further studies."

Zhou Buping shook his head and said, "It would be great if this opportunity was yours. The training conditions at the Royal Shenwu Academy are many times better than those of our Shenjian Sect. It truly gathers the top training resources in Dachang."

"Enter the Royal Divine Martial Academy?"

Li Qian was extremely surprised.

At the same time, he secretly felt lucky that he did not go, otherwise he would not be able to ring the Chen Bell when he entered the Royal Divine Martial Academy.

"Master, nothing can be forced."

Seeing his master's regretful look, Li Qian immediately said, "Even if I don't enter the Shenwu Academy, I am confident that I will not be worse than others."

"Haha. You are right. I am obsessed with it."

Zhou Buping saw that Li Qian was calm and said with a smile.

"Master, how are your cultivation and swordsmanship recovering?"

Li Qian changed the subject and asked.

"It's a little better now, but I'm afraid it's unlikely to fully recover."

Zhou Buping shook his head.

He had been mentally prepared for this situation.

In fact, he was more concerned about Li Qian's progress in cultivation and swordsmanship.

"It seems that the sound of the magic weapon-level Chen Bell has a very limited effect on the recovery of others."

Li Qian thought to himself.

Unless the Chen Zhong is upgraded to a higher level.
But it will take about twenty years to upgrade.

It is unknown what the Master will be like in twenty years.

Although a grandmaster in the Xiantian Zhendan realm can live to over a hundred or close to two hundred years old, those are grandmasters who have been particularly well-cultivated.

A great master like Master has suffered serious injuries, his cultivation has regressed, and his sword power has been damaged. It is completely unknown how many years he can live.

咚咚
Two clear bell sounds came from the Chen Bell Tower.

In the distance, the red sun has jumped out of the horizon, breaking through the morning mist, shining brightly.

Li Qian took Sword Eighteen and began to practice the Wuxin Sword Technique. The invisible energy of heaven and earth gathered and penetrated into his body, where it was gradually refined and merged with his blood and spirit, transforming into wisps of innate true energy.

After one great cycle, he stopped and turned to practicing the Immaculate Holy Body.

After practicing, Li Qian got down from the bell tower, returned to the house, and walked to the two maps, one large and one small, hanging on the wall.

One of these two maps is the Dachang map.

One is a map of Taiping County.

He asked Master Xu from the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall to find this.

Very detailed.

Especially the map of Taiping County, which was very accurate. Combining various information, Li Qian estimated that the places recorded on the four treasure maps were likely within the scope of Taiping County.

After staring at the two maps for a long time, Li Qian felt his eyes sore and his head a little painful, which was due to excessive brain consumption.

It seemed that he was just looking at the map, but in fact he was comparing and piecing together the four treasure maps in his mind.

There was no other way. The treasure map that Mr. Song gave him was completely destroyed, so he could only choose this stupid method that was both brain-consuming and time-consuming.

"too difficult."

Li Qian rubbed his eyebrows, sighed, and walked out of the bell tower.

On the flat ground outside, Liu Ming was practicing sword jabs and punches move by move.

Li Qian only took a glance and knew the progress of this person's boxing skills.

It's just the level of proficiency.

Only four or five of the twelve main meridians were opened.

This is still the case when eating medicinal meat porridge every day.

All I can say is that his aptitude and understanding are too ordinary, not even as good as Chen Yong's.

At this moment, Liu Ming's boxing posture suddenly froze, he stopped, covered his chest, his face showed pain, and beads of sweat the size of beans broke out on his forehead.

Li Qian took a step forward and appeared in front of Liu Ming, tapping several acupoints on Liu Ming's body with his fingers.

puff!
Liu Ming immediately opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, and immediately felt a lot more relaxed.

"Don't you understand that more haste makes waste?"

Li Qian said in a deep voice.

Liu Ming looked ashamed and didn't dare to speak.

"Next, reduce the amount of food you eat at each meal. It's best to starve for two days first."

Li Qian said.

He had never paid attention to Liu Ming's diet and cultivation before.

After all, he summoned Liu Ming to the mountain just to ring the bell when he was not there.

He had just used his spiritual perception to detect the condition inside Liu Ming's body. It was obvious that the medicinal meat porridge he had eaten was too nutritious, resulting in too much medicinal power being deposited in his body.

Liu Ming's boxing skills were only at the proficient level. Although he practiced hard every day, he had no way of digesting the effects of the medicine due to the limited human energy.

Over time, the accumulated medicinal power blocked the meridians, causing backlash.

It was just the beginning just now. If it continues like this, my meridians will be damaged and I might become a disabled person.

So Li Qian used his innate true energy to let Liu Ming release some of the medicinal power by vomiting blood.

"Yes, Brother Li."

Liu Ming said with a low voice.

In fact, he had already noticed some abnormalities in his body when he was practicing boxing before, but he didn't think too much about it.

The situation just now made him realize the seriousness of the situation, and he was filled with fear.

Welcoming Hall.

This is where the Divine Sword Sect receives distinguished guests.

"Elder Xiang, recently, half-demons that have been missing for hundreds of years have shown signs of resurrecting. I think your clan has also noticed this. Based on this situation, His Royal Highness Prince Luo, as the vassal king in charge of the Taixing Dao, will convene a demon-killing conference. This is an invitation. Please be sure to attend."

A man in brocade clothes sat on a chair. After taking a sip of tea, he suddenly took out a gold-plated invitation from his sleeve. There was a very special dark gold pattern on it.

It represents the symbol of Luo Wangfu.

"Master Liu, I will give the invitation to the Sect Master."

The one who spoke was an elegant old man with a black beard. He was Xiang Xin, the elder in charge of the reception hall.

Although the Reception Hall seems to be just a place to entertain guests, it actually also has the responsibility of communicating with other forces, which is very important.

Therefore, Elder Xiang Xin, who serves as the host of the reception hall, is a truly powerful elder in the Divine Sword Sect.

Elder Xiang Xin did not say that he would definitely participate.

He was only the elder of the Welcoming Hall and had no authority to make decisions.

What's more, this matter involves Luo Wangfu, a powerful vassal force that can be ranked among the top five in Dachang, which is no small matter.
