Lin Qiancheng's gentle voice rang out;

"I contacted acquaintances and searched carefully."

"I have found a sword technique."

"Azure Dragon Nine-Turn Blade".

"This is a master-level sword technique. I have obtained the complete manual for you."

"The Azure Dragon Nine Revolutions Blade is divided into nine forms. Even you can learn the first three forms, and you will be able to dominate at the third rank. However, the last six forms are all killing moves. Do not attempt to use them unless you are a master."

"Originally, it would be best to use the Azure Dragon Qi of Wood, which would be extremely powerful, but your Wood Qi is barely enough."

Upon hearing his master's description, Li Ming's gaze shifted from surprise to disbelief.

"Grandmaster level?"

Martial arts are generally divided into three categories: lower three-rank martial arts, grandmaster martial arts, martial saint's ultimate skills, and peerless divine skills.

The Whirlwind Three Blades that Li Ming learned before was a low-grade martial art, and the most basic body-forging martial art at that, without any moves for the Qi Refining or Qi Condensation stages.

This is a master-level martial art!

Even for grandmaster-level experts, not everyone can do it.

It's extremely rare to see such a high-level technique outside... no, it's practically impossible. It can only be exchanged for equivalent resources or become a family heirloom.

My master is just a Qi Condensation Martial Artist, where did he come from?

Lin Qiancheng seemed to sense Li Ming's disbelief and said:

"This is a true master's martial art, not something I made up."

"I naturally believe that my master's martial arts are real, but..."

Li Ming looked his master over, trying to figure out if something was missing.

I've heard that powerful and influential families will pay huge sums of money to buy the organs of martial arts masters for research and other purposes...

Could it be?

No, Master is a Qi Condensation Martial Artist. Even if he sold himself, he couldn't get such a powerful martial art.

Could it be that he's hooked up with the legendary rich woman?

Yes, very likely!

My master is a handsome man; perhaps he has caught the eye of some rich woman.

Lin Qiancheng looked at his disciple's eyes and seemed to understand something. He was immediately furious and said irritably:

"You little rascal, what kind of person do you think you are, your teacher?"

"No, it's nothing..." Li Ming touched his nose, a little embarrassed.

Master saw right through her little scheme.

"Fine, I'll just be frank with you."

"The reason why my cultivation level is not high and I have not yet reached the Golden Core Realm is because of an adventure in a secret realm in my early years... Although I was lucky enough to save my life, my foundation was destroyed and my cultivation level is difficult to improve."

"But I was once on the Human Ranking, and my senior brother was once in the top ten of the Human Ranking, now the Great Xuan Divine Constable Zhao Xuanwu."

"We still have a relationship. It's just asking you to learn a master-level martial arts technique. What's so difficult about that?"

Lin Qiancheng snorted coldly and revealed a great deal of information.

The Great Xuan Divine Catcher is a position that only a Martial Saint can hold.

In other words, Li Ming's senior uncle is a martial saint-level expert in this world.

Upon hearing this, Li Ming nodded hurriedly: "As expected of Master, you are indeed amazing!"

"It is said that those who can be listed on the Human Ranking are all the most outstanding talents of their time."

Li Ming's words were not an attempt to flatter his teacher, but rather a statement of fact.

There is a faction in the Great Xuan Kingdom called the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.

They specialize in collecting various intelligence materials, and then they evaluate the world, establishing three lists for martial arts geniuses, which are also the most watched lists.

It is divided into Heaven, Earth, and Man.

Each list records 108 outstanding individuals.

The Heavenly Ranking is a special event for martial arts masters, all of whom are renowned figures throughout the land.

Among them, Zhuge Wuwo, the Grand Supervisor of the Six Doors, ranked fifteenth on the Heavenly List.

Everyone in the world knows it.

The Earth Ranking records the powerhouses who are Grandmasters.

Age is not recorded; those who make the list are all top performers in their respective categories, and they all have solid achievements to show for it.

The list of outstanding individuals is quite special, as it records young talents who are no more than twenty-eight years old and can all be included.

However, sometimes a phenomenon occurs where the top spot on the Earth Ranking is the same as the top spot on the Human Ranking.

After all, sometimes, there will always be a person called a peerless genius who, at the tender age of twenty-eight, has already risen to the fourth-rank Grandmaster and become the number one on the Earth Ranking.

If any faction produces a genius on the Human Ranking, they will focus on nurturing them.

Even the Six Doors are no exception. After all, once you join, various forces will extend olive branches, and in order to prevent the loss of talent, you have no choice but to open your doors.

As for the fairness of the ranking, were there any questions raised? Yes, there were, but they disappeared.

Because the founder of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion was a powerful figure above the Martial Saint level, and there were branches in many human kingdoms, the Great Xuan Pavilion was just a branch. With such a strong backing, no one dared to provoke them.

Moreover, if you offend them, they might not kill you, but instead expose your dirty secrets, which could be even more terrifying.

Therefore, the list of people is highly authoritative.

Each update causes a sensation throughout the land, their fame spreading across the thirteen states of the Great Xuan Dynasty.

Li Ming had also heard of the name of the Divine Constable Zhao Xuanwu, who came from Qing Shi City and was still frequently mentioned by people.

I never imagined I had such a connection with my master.

Even so, he managed to acquire a martial art that was suitable for him to practice.

It is indeed not easy.

Li Ming made up his mind that he would definitely solve the problem for his master in the future, so that his master could continue on the path of martial arts.

"Master, one day I will find you a divine medicine and pursue the pinnacle of martial arts together with your disciple."

"Moreover, my Yi Wood True Qi has a miraculous effect on healing people."

Lin Qiancheng's eyes were filled with satisfaction as he said gently:

"I am grateful for your kind intentions. I have had others practice this Yi Mu True Skill before, but it was not very useful to me. I have been trying to find a way to fix it over the years, and it is almost done."

"You should take care of yourself. I've already sent people to gather information about the Azure Dragon Qi."

"I expect news will arrive soon. In the meantime, focus on your cultivation and strive to achieve mastery of Qi Refining before attempting to fuse with it."

"You don't need to worry about the Zhao family. I've already warned them, so they won't dare to openly send out experts. But you should still be careful."

When Lin Qiancheng saw Li Mingchu, who had just entered the Qi Refining stage, dare to compete for the position of head constable and win a great victory.

He knew that Li Ming's ambitions were far from being satisfied with just the Qi of Yi Wood.

Even though the fusion of the Wood Qi and the Azure Dragon Qi is extremely difficult, he is still willing to seek that opportunity for his disciple.

Li Ming was overjoyed upon hearing this. He had been worrying about how to obtain the Azure Dragon Qi, but he hadn't expected that his master had already arranged everything step by step.

People with connections and backing are indeed different.

By putting himself in others' shoes, Li Ming could imagine how much better the treatment must be for those truly aristocratic families and disciples of the upper sects.

While ordinary martial artists are still striving for a basic foundation in body-tempering techniques, qi-cultivating techniques, and qi-condensing techniques...

Others only need to focus on cultivation and tempering their character; when they go out, they even have protectors...

"Thank you, Master."

"I will seek justice for the Zhao family once I reach the Condensation Realm."

Li Ming's attitude was very firm.

To be honest, although the threat from the Zhao family made him feel like he had a thorn in his side, if he couldn't even overcome such a small obstacle, how could he talk about the path of martial arts?

"Not bad, worthy of being my disciple." Lin Qiancheng stroked his beard, praising him highly.

If Li Ming begged him to deal with the Zhao family, he would probably do it even though he was unhappy about it.

After all, this was his only disciple. He was very picky about people, and after twenty years of waiting, he finally settled on Li Ming.

However...

The Zhao family inadvertently became Li Ming's whetstone, which wasn't so bad after all.

Neither side takes the other seriously, but they will eventually face off.

Although Lin Qiancheng protects his apprentice, he also understands that there are many things that he needs to face on his own. He can provide resources and connections to help his apprentice avoid detours.

But that's all there is to it. Without going through various trials, a person cannot grow into a truly outstanding individual.

Even royal children must face bloodshed and trials. Gods and Buddhas also temper one's heart. If a martial artist from a small town is not as good as those from good families, what can he use to compare with them?

This is precisely because the expectations are high.

If his son, Lin Ping, cannot change his mindset, no amount of talk from him will be of any use, which is why he did not take any coercive measures.

Lin Ping is kind by nature. If he has no interest in martial arts, his father will not force him. Protecting him from the wind and rain is his responsibility as a father.

The master and disciple talked and opened up to each other, discussing everything from martial arts to everyday life, for a long time.

Finally, Li Ming used his Yi Wood True Qi to help Lin Qiancheng try it out. Although he couldn't repair the foundation, he did heal many of Lin Qiancheng's hidden injuries. Lin Qiancheng smiled and told Li Ming to go back and cultivate. Only then did Li Ming leave the Lin residence.

Outside the Lin residence, Li Ming gazed at the bright moon in the sky.

Unexpectedly, not long after I transmigrated, I found a feeling of home.

However, Li Ming remembered that his master had given him a task in the end.

That is to investigate why there have been so many disappearances and sudden deaths in Qing Shi City in recent years.

Such incidents have occurred frequently in previous years.

However, in recent years, there have been especially many... Although after multiple investigations, it was eventually determined that the Green Demon Society was responsible.

Lin Qiancheng still suspected that there was a mole within Qing Shi City.
