Liu Changqing led Shen Qian to the seventeenth floor first.
The two had a brief conversation along the way, but for Shen Qian, it was a lot of information.
For example, Marquis Gao Wenyuan of Jingcheng has eight personal disciples, six of whom are at least at the Mountain and Sea Realm.
As for Liu Changqing, according to his own words, he is still one step away from reaching the Mountain and Sea Realm, but his combat strength is by no means inferior to that of an ordinary Mountain and Sea Realm cultivator.
This greatly shocked Shen Qian.
For most ordinary people, becoming a master of the Mountain and Sea Realm is the pinnacle of martial arts that they pursue throughout their lives, and the disciples taught by Hou Guang of Jingcheng are almost all at that level.
However, Shen Qian could vaguely sense that there must be an even more extraordinary realm above the mountains and seas, such as the existence of Marquis Jingcheng.
This involves another piece of information that was just learned before the sinking...
The Marquis of Jingcheng recruited his first disciple 187 years ago.
This means that the Marquis of Jingcheng lived for at least two hundred years.
As expected of a master.
If only it were the Marquis of Jingcheng who would take me as his disciple...
Shen Qian glanced at Liu Changqing beside him, then felt ashamed of his thoughts.
You're not even a beginner martial artist, yet you're trying to be picky!
Shen Qian severely despised himself.
In addition, the third piece of information that Shen Qianqian gleaned was that the Mountain and Sea realm was very special, but he didn't know exactly why it was special.
However, Liu Changqing's few words already subtly revealed that there are significant differences between mountains and seas.
Considering that this realm is currently too far away for Shen Qian, Shen Qian is too lazy to think about it any further.
He should focus on becoming a beginner martial artist first...
The thought of his exaggerated physical limits gave Chen Qian a headache again.
"Third Senior Brother is the most learned among the eight of us. Although he is not a doctor, he can handle most minor illnesses. Let him treat your leg first."
After exiting the elevator, Liu Changqing offered an explanation.
The seventeenth floor has a space of about two thousand square meters, all of which has been decorated in a classic Chinese courtyard style.
With its small bridges over flowing water, carved beams and painted rafters, and even a secluded bamboo grove, the viewer was completely mesmerized...
How much money would that cost?!
As they walked further in, Liu Changqing led Shen Qian to a balcony filled with flowers and plants.
There was a stone table on the balcony, and next to it sat a middle-aged man with an ancient-style topknot and a refined appearance. On the table were three cups of fragrant tea, steaming hot.
"Greetings, Senior Shi!"
Liu Changqing had already told Shen Qian the name of this third senior brother in the elevator, so Shen Qian quickly stepped forward and greeted him respectfully.
Sitting in front of Shen Qian was Shi Dingyan, a genuine expert from the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Not a blurry image on TV, nor a photoshopped monster in an online video, but something close at hand, alive, and warm...
Shen Qian glanced at him a few more times, and sure enough, he was just like Liu Changqing—a handsome and ruthless man.
...Uh, I think I used the wrong word, but that's the gist of it.
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Shi Dingyan was looking at him strangely.
"Third Senior Brother?" Liu Changqing noticed that Shi Dingyan had suddenly lost in thought and couldn't help but call out.
"Before sinking, right?"
Shi Dingyan snapped out of his reverie, smiled gently, and gestured for her to sit.
Liu Changqing sat down first, and Shen Qian, seeing this, also sat down without any more restraint.
"Have some tea," Shi Dingyan said, gesturing for them to have some.
Shen Qian did as instructed, picked up the teacup and took a sip. The fragrant tea was not as delicious as he had imagined. Just as Shen Qian was about to put the teacup down, Shi Dingyan spoke again, "Finish it."
Although it was strange, Shen Qian still obediently downed the tea in his hand in one gulp.
He put down his teacup, preparing to offer a few insincere compliments like "This tea is amazing," when a warm current spread from his abdomen and quickly flowed down his right leg.
The broken bone in my right leg suddenly became numb and itchy.
“This is…” Shen Qian was astonished.
"I put some of my specially made liniment into your tea. Your right leg should be fully healed within three to five days," Shi Dingyan said with a slight smile.
Before sinking, I tried to stand up, and sure enough, the pain had lessened considerably.
Shen Qian, who had expected to need at least half a month to recover, was pleasantly surprised and sincerely said, "This tea is amazing."
"It's just a minor skill."
Shi Dingyan smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Unfortunately, I can't help with your mother's illness. The toxins produced in the forbidden area are very special. They are not extremely poisonous, but they are hard to remove. It requires extremely strong mental strength and extremely solid medical knowledge as support, which I cannot do."
Although he had already heard Liu Changqing say it, Shen Qian was still somewhat disappointed upon hearing this.
"Don't worry, my time to enter the Mountain and Sea realm isn't far off. If you refuse to help, I'll just do you a favor and ask a Mountain and Sea realm expert who specializes in medicine to help. I, Liu Changqing, still have that much influence!"
Liu Changqing patted Chen Qian on the shoulder and said confidently.
Shen Qian nodded slightly. Although he was disappointed, he wasn't too anxious. His mother had switched to better medication and her condition was stable. There were at least two or three years left for treatment.
If one path doesn't work, then try another.
"Young friend Shen, I heard you've opened the eight orifices?"
At this moment, Shi Dingyan suddenly spoke up and asked a question.
"I was lucky; I did indeed manage to open all eight orifices," Shen Qian said modestly.
Neither Liu Changqing nor Shi Dingyan delved into the matter of Shen Qian's supposed "good luck," as if the issue was unimportant to them.
"Eight orifices! Such a rare sight in the world..."
Shi Dingyan sighed, “Young friend Shen may only feel that the benefit of the eight orifices is the increase in physical strength now, but one day in the future you will be able to truly feel the enormous benefits brought by the body with eight orifices. At the very least, you will have many more choices.”
