Previously, when Chu Qinghe used this character card, he possessed great skill, but in the end, it was all wasted.

However, with this "Absorption Technique," Chu Qinghe can use the "Absorption Technique" whenever he uses a character card in the future, allowing him to utilize the power attached to the character card and maximize its effectiveness.

This is why Chu Qinghe wanted the "Absorption Technique".

Then, looking at Qu Feiyan, whose eyes were filled with anticipation, Chu Qinghe said irritably, "Don't think about it. This thing has its advantages and disadvantages. Using it too much can be harmful."

"harmful?"

Upon hearing what Chu Qinghe said, Qu Feiyan was immediately stunned.

What are the dangers?

Chu Qinghe slowly said, "Martial artists cultivate by gradually improving their cultivation level through their own efforts. This is the most solid foundation. After that, the level is built up by medicine."

"Although taking a shortcut by piling up medicine, it does not affect the essence, energy and spirit in a martial artist's body. Their own skill is still pure. At most, their foundation is not so solid. With diligent training for a period of time, their foundation can be solidified again, which is still easy to solve."

"The most troublesome thing is to plunder other people's martial arts and use them for one's own purposes. It seems good, but it also has the greatest impact."

Xiao Zhao asked in confusion, "But isn't Zhu Wushi a late-stage Grandmaster? Judging from his demeanor, it doesn't seem to have affected him at all."

Chu Qinghe glanced at Qu Feiyan and then slowly said, "You said it yourself, it just seems to have no impact."

Knowing that the girls were unaware, Chu Qinghe slowly explained, "Everyone's essence, energy, and spirit are different. Even if the same person cultivates the same technique, the essence, energy, and spirit contained within will be completely different. Forcibly absorbing the internal energy and true qi of others into oneself, no matter how much it is purified, will ultimately be different from the power one has accumulated."

"Although the 'Absorption Technique' has the effect of refining the power absorbed from others, it does not ultimately turn it into the purest energy; it will contain some impurities to some extent."

"Once you forcibly seize someone else's power using the 'Power Absorption Technique,' you can only break through to a higher level by continuously accumulating your own power through this technique."

"If I'm not mistaken, Zhu Wushi must have been absorbing the power of others to strengthen himself a long time ago."

With his top-notch medical skills, Chu Qinghe could tell that any act of plundering another's power was undoubtedly digging a hole for himself.

Otherwise, if the Absorption Technique and the Northern Darkness Divine Art were truly that powerful, how could they only be at the mid-level of the Heaven Rank?

It's probably even above the Heavenly Rank.

After learning from Chu Qinghe about the downsides of plundering others' power, Qu Feiyan's interest in the "Power Absorption Technique" diminished once again.

After pondering for a few moments, Qu Feiyan asked, "Zhu Wushi is now at the late Grandmaster level. How many people's power must he have absorbed over the years to reach this level?"

Chu Qinghe thought for a moment and said, "It'll be at least three digits!"

After all, when the eight major sects besieged Gu Santong twenty years ago, Zhu Wushi secretly recruited 108 experts.

Chu Qinghe estimated that it was around that time that Zhu Wushi successfully entered the early stage of the Grandmaster realm by absorbing the power of these 108 experts.

Now, twenty years have passed, and those who have reached the late stage of the Grandmaster realm must have killed quite a few people using this "Absorption Technique".

Qu Feiyan asked in confusion, "But I've never heard of Zhu Wushi taking action or mastering the 'Absorption Technique' over the years. Where did he find such a master to continuously absorb his internal energy?"

After speaking, Qu Feiyan frowned and fell into deep thought.

However, Yaoyue, who was standing to the side, seemed to have guessed something and asked, "The number one manor in the world?"

Knowing what Yaoyue meant, Chu Qinghe slowly said, "We cannot rule out the possibility of this."

Hearing Chu Qinghe's agreement, Yaoyue's expression darkened slightly, while Qu Feiyan gasped in shock.

Only Xiao Zhao and Lin Shiyin on the side looked puzzled.

Immediately, Qu Feiyan explained, "If what you said is true, young master, then Zhu Wushi's current cultivation level of the late Grandmaster realm is entirely due to absorbing the power of other martial artists. The number of martial artists he absorbed must be several hundred or even thousands."

"But there are no secrets in the world. If it's just targeting martial artists in the Jianghu, their friends and family will inevitably find out. Over time, it's impossible for no word to get out, and Zhu Wushi can't maintain his current grand and imposing image. The only possibility is that Zhu Wushi has a way to cover his tracks and can keep sending experts to him so that he can absorb their power with the 'Absorption Technique'."

Lin Shiyin asked, puzzled, "But if people who join the Number One Manor in the World keep disappearing, won't people notice something amiss after a while?"

Qu Feiyan shook her head and said, "If it were simply a matter of joining the Number One Manor under Heaven, it would be impossible to hide the fact that people have been missing. However, everyone in the Ming Dynasty knows that the Number One Manor under Heaven was established by Zhu Wushi to deal with the Eastern Depot. In the struggle with the Eastern Depot, it is only natural that some of the martial artists of the Number One Manor under Heaven were killed or injured, or even their bodies were lost."

After understanding the deeper meaning from Qu Feiyan's explanation, Xiao Zhao and Lin Shiyin were also taken aback.

After a long silence, Lin Shiyin finally spoke up: "I never imagined that the mighty Iron-Blooded Marquis would be such a person, establishing a force with such a vicious purpose."
