...

Finally, my cultivation has reached the True Qi Realm.

With the help of my two disciples, I have achieved the Grand Completion stage in the Three Yang Force martial skill.

After becoming familiar with the Three Yang Force contained within the martial skill, Chen Wuji is now able to execute the third strike.

With a single palm strike, the power is doubled, and then doubled again on top of that.

After doubling, it can be doubled once more.

This means that a single palm strike can ultimately unleash eight times the power.

However, achieving eight times the power requires complete mastery of the martial skill.

Currently, Chen Wuji can only unleash five to six times the power.

After breaking through to the True Qi Realm, his vitality, spirit, and physique have all increased several times over.

But the most important True Qi still needs to be condensed by himself.

The Dragon Gate Primordial Origin Technique was created for this day.

However, Chen Wuji did not immediately cultivate it. Instead, he found the previously collected "Illusory True Technique of the Three Souls and Nine Spirits" and first comprehended this spiritual technique.

The spiritual aspect of the True Qi Realm has met the requirements for cultivating this technique.

Chen Wuji spent a night comprehending the basics.

Then, without stopping, he activated the True Qi in his Qi Sea and used the technique to refine his Qi and blood, giving birth to new True Qi.

It's not that Chen Wuji doesn't want to absorb the free energy between heaven and earth.

It's just that after comprehending the technique, Chen Wuji sensed his surroundings and found that the free energy in the air was pitifully scarce, almost non-existent.

Therefore, he had no choice but to continue refining his essence and transforming it into Qi.

Fortunately, after breaking through to the True Qi Realm, the Qi and blood refined through the five Blood Transformations can still produce a considerable amount of Primordial Origin True Qi.

But this method can only be used temporarily and cannot be sustained for a long time.

This is because the amount of Qi and blood in the human body is limited, while the energy between heaven and earth is infinite.

To reach higher realms and break through higher peaks, one must absorb the energy between heaven and earth.

It is only at this moment that Chen Wuji finally understands why there are no True Qi Realm experts in White Water County.

The Ninth Layer of Body Refining is already the pinnacle.

With the energy between heaven and earth being so scarce, even if someone breaks through to the True Qi Realm, they will not stay in White Water County.

...

Swish, swish, swish~

Within the dantian space, the Primordial Origin True Qi in the Qi Sea continues to grow.

The level of the Dragon Gate Primordial Origin Technique keeps advancing step by step.

After a day and a night, the technique reaches the third level.

However, Chen Wuji's cultivation is still at the True Qi Realm, Second Layer.

There's nothing he can do. The birth of True Qi is slow, and the quantity is still small.

Even with Chen Wuji's abundant vitality and blood, if it were someone else, they wouldn't be able to stabilize the First Layer of the True Qi Realm.

"Hoo~"

Taking a deep breath, Chen Wuji exhales a turbid breath, which solidifies and shoots out about a yard away.

Chen Wuji stops his cultivation and stabilizes the Primordial Origin True Qi in his Qi Sea.

After a moment, he stood up, found a long sword, and swung it towards his own arm.

Swoosh!

At the moment the blade touched his skin, it slipped like it had lost its target and veered to the side.

True Qi protects!

At the Second Layer of the True Qi Realm, one can mobilize True Qi to protect the whole body, making it impervious to blades and fire.

Even the powerful crossbows used in the military cannot penetrate it.

Of course, a few arrows can be blocked, but if a continuous rain of arrows repeatedly hits the same spot, it cannot be stopped.

Ordinary swords and fire cannot penetrate it.

However, treasures, Strange Fire, and poisonous water can break through True Qi.

The most important thing is that once True Qi is depleted, this layer of protection disappears.

Even so, Chen Wuji is still satisfied.

At the Second Layer of the True Qi Realm, he can already sweep through the entire White Water County.

However, Chen Wuji does not become arrogant because of this.

First, a messenger from a mysterious force, a master of unknown level in the True Qi Realm, is about to arrive in White Water County.

Second, the young man who came from the capital and killed the Blood Sword Sect's disciple is accompanied by a True Qi Realm master of unknown level.

These two individuals had the manual stolen from them, most likely still in White Water County, perhaps even in the county town!

So, it is far from the time to relax.

"At the Second Layer of the True Qi Realm, one can barely protect oneself."

Chen Wuji adjusts his breath, calm and steady.

"The spiritual energy in White Water County is thin. It seems I need to continue drinking the 'Seven Treasures Tiger Heart Soup'."

"I wonder if Hunting Tiger Mountain Villa will still hunt tigers?"

The disciples possessed by the Ghost Slave of Hunting Tiger Mountain Villa have killed several people.

Qing Meng is now thinking about killing the Ghost Slave.

But now, he probably doesn't have the mood to go into the mountains to hunt tigers.

Should he go to the black market?

Chen Wuji calculates the dates and realizes that the next black market hasn't opened yet.

"In that case..."

After thinking about it, Chen Wuji decides to visit the branch of Hunting Tiger Mountain Villa in the county town.

In the whole of White Water, hunting is their specialty.

If there are other people, Qing Meng and the others will definitely know.

...

Hunting Tiger Branch.

Chen Wuji puts on the disguise of "Cheng Yaojin" and enters once again.

"Mr. Cheng!"

Qing Meng, who received the report from the servant, quickly comes over to meet Chen Wuji.

"Lord Qin, I apologize for the disturbance."

Chen Wuji gets straight to the point, saying, "This time, I came to ask Lord Qin if you will continue to hunt tigers in the mountains. If not, can you inform me of other skilled hunters?"

"Sure."

Helplessness appears on Qing Meng's tired face as he sighs, "With such a big incident at the villa, we won't be going into the mountains for a short time. If Mr. Cheng needs tiger hearts, you can go to Yangliu Town, Niujiao Town, and Sanhua Town to find hunters from these three towns to hunt tigers."

"You can find out about the famous hunters in these three towns with a little inquiry."

"Thank you!"

Chen Wuji bows.

"Lord Qin, please don't overexert yourself. I believe that the Ghost Slave causing trouble in the county will soon be killed."

"Thank you in advance, Mr. Cheng. But killing the Ghost Slave is probably not that simple," Qing Meng says with a bitter smile.

Huh?

Chen Wuji raises an eyebrow, "What does Lord Qin mean? Did the Ghost Extermination Operation of the County Lord's Organization encounter trouble?"

"Yes, we have encountered trouble."

Qing Meng clenches his fists and grits his teeth, "Someone is secretly causing trouble, not wanting us to kill the Ghost Slave!"

What!
