Chapter 168: News about Jiang Biehe, Qiao Feng's praise
Jiang Yuyan fully enjoyed the sense of accomplishment brought by the rapid increase in her cultivation, and a look of anticipation flashed in her eyes.

She even hoped that she would be able to break through the shackles of the Innate Realm in one go and become the first of the four disciples to reach the Grandmaster Realm!
But the result left her a little disappointed.

As his strength increased, his speed gradually slowed down, and finally stopped near the peak of the Innate Realm.

Jiang Yuyan could clearly feel that if she took one more step forward she would reach the critical point of breaking through the realm. However, it was always a little short and out of reach.

It seems very close, but in fact it is extremely difficult to take this last step.

While Jiang Yuyan was disappointed, she couldn't help thinking that her realm was obtained by learning from others and taking shortcuts. It seems that improving one's realm is not easy.

Even though he had absorbed the power of Hua Wuque, a master in the late Xiantian realm, he was still only accumulating quantitative changes to the extreme, but could not achieve qualitative changes.

Feeling the internal force coming from her hands getting weaker and weaker, it was like a floodgate opening at the beginning, but now it has gradually turned into a silk thread, like a stream that is about to dry up. Jiang Yuyan knows that Hua Wuque's value has been squeezed dry.

Soon, the internal energy that Hua Wuque had cultivated for many years was completely absorbed.

Jiang Yuyan withdrew her hand, and Hua Wuque fell to the ground dejectedly.

With a "puff", he spat out a few more mouthfuls of blood.

Looking at Hua Wuque's face again, it had become even worse. His face was pale and had a layer of gray aura of death.

"you……"

Hua Wuque trembled and tried his best to gather all his strength. He raised his hand and pointed at Jiang Yuyan, with disbelief in his eyes.

He had been in Yihua Palace for so many years, but he had never heard that there was such a unique skill in the world that could absorb his power smoothly.

This martial art can be said to be the nemesis of their Yihua Palace!

However, it's too late to say anything now.

Hua Wuque vomited blood again before he could say a word.

Now that all his energy had been sucked out, he had become a useless man. His injuries had been barely suppressed before, but now that they had lost the protection of his true energy, they immediately worsened.

Hua Wuque clearly felt that his vitality was rapidly draining away, and he finally became frightened.

Having studied martial arts in Yihua Palace for so many years, he has always been extremely proud and never thought that he would suffer such a great defeat in the martial arts world.

He tried desperately to reach into his bag, which contained some healing elixirs from the Yihua Palace. If he took them in time, they might help him save his life.

However, just as Hua Wuque's trembling fingers were about to touch the bag, Jiang Yuyan took it away before him.

Holding the luggage in her hand, Jiang Yuyan completely ignored Hua Wuque's desperate look and checked it on her own.

Hua Wuque carried with him a considerable sum of silver, some elixirs, and a few tokens of the Yihua Palace.

Jiang Yuyan casually glanced through it and took it for herself without hesitation.

This was something he and his fellow disciples learned. After the last battle at Juxianzhuang, Jiang Yuyan saw Lin Pingzhi and his fellow disciples cleaning the battlefield very skillfully, especially the bags of those masters, which were their main focus.

According to fellow disciples, too many masters died at the hands of their master. They were responsible for cleaning up the battlefield every time. Over time, they naturally developed this skilled skill.

Jiang Yuyan naturally followed suit.

"you……"

Hua Wuque pointed at Jiang Yuyan again, his eyes filled with hatred, but his injuries were rapidly worsening.

His eyes went dark, his head tilted to one side, and he died completely.

Facing the death of Hua Wuque, Jiang Yuyan had no expression on her face. She just glanced at him coldly and then walked towards the men who suddenly appeared and wanted to attack her.

Most of these people died, but there was still one person who was not dead yet.

Jiang Yuyan could see that they were not on the same side as Hua Wuque, and if the scene of a hero saving a beauty arranged by Hua Wuque was close to her own, she would not kill them.

Arriving in front of the man, Jiang Yuyan injected a trace of Hun Yuan internal force into him, saving his life.

The man groaned in pain, opened his eyes, and breathed barely a thread.

At the same time, Jiang Yuyan took out a small porcelain bottle and shook it in front of him.

"Tell me, who are you, what do you intend to do to me, and who sent you?"

Jiang Yuyan said this while patiently persuading him.

"As soon as I let go, you will die immediately. But the elixir in my hand is the magic medicine of our martial arts school. As long as you are still alive, you can save your life by taking it. If you want to live, tell the truth, otherwise..."

While Jiang Yuyan was speaking, she mixed in the power of the mind-confusing method.

The man was already in imminent danger and his willpower was greatly weakened. When he heard Jiang Yuyan's words, a desire to live immediately flashed in his eyes.

The martial arts school's panacea...

Although he had never been to Juxian Manor, he had heard about it. Recently, there were rumors in the martial arts world that many fellow martial artists were seriously injured in Juxian Manor, but after taking the elixir from Qianming Martial Arts Hall, they inexplicably saved their lives.

Not only did his injuries recover quickly, but his cultivation level even improved a lot after recovery!
After this news spread, many people in the martial arts world wanted to find a way to pay a large sum of money to purchase a healing elixir from Qianming Martial Arts School.

Therefore, Jiang Yuyan would not be lying to herself!

The man's psychological defenses suddenly collapsed and he mustered up the strength to speak.

"I said, I said, it was Hero Jiang who asked us to come here, saying that we could find a chance to secretly kidnap you."

As soon as this person spoke, Jiang Yuyan's hand holding the porcelain bottle trembled slightly, and a look of panic flashed in her cold eyes.

"Master Jiang, which Master Jiang? Did he say why he did this?"

"Hero Jiang Biehe, I don't know anything else. He just said that if this thing can be accomplished, he will give us a huge reward... I told you everything, hurry up, save me!"

The man stretched out his hand to Jiang Yuyan beggingly.

But Jiang Yuyan had no intention of fulfilling her promise and just stood up.

The warrior lost the last bit of Jiang Yuyan's life-sustaining energy, and his body immediately became stiff, his eyes lost their luster, and he died.

Jiang Yuyan stood there, not coming back to her senses for a long time.

This news was too much of a shock to her.

Jiang Biehe...

The name of the father that he had been looking for so long actually appeared in this form.

Looking at the dead warriors, several of them were in the Innate Realm. It was obvious that Jiang Biehe was not clear about his own strength and thought that these few people were enough to capture him.

But why did he do that?
Jiang Yuyan felt a little disappointed for a moment.

It would have been fine if her father Jiang Biehe didn't know about her existence, but Jiang Yuyan traveled all over the world to find her relative and meet him.

But now that Jiang Biehe has sent someone over, it is likely that he knows that he has a daughter like this, but why did he use this method?
If he came to recognize her openly, Jiang Yuyan would definitely not reject this father whom she had been looking for for many years, but what did he want to do?
Jiang Yuyan is no longer the naive girl she used to be, and she instinctively realized that this is not a good thing.

Perhaps, my father is not as welcoming as I imagined, and his actions are not as upright as the rumors say...

Such a thought flashed through Jiang Yuyan's mind. Once such a thought appeared, she felt confused, and the image of her father that she had always admired in her mind did not seem so tall and perfect.

Jiang Yuyan stood there for a long time, with all kinds of thoughts tangled in her mind, making it impossible for her to calm down for a while.

Since joining the martial arts gym, Jiang Yuyan hasn't had such negative emotions for a long time.

After a while, she gradually regained her composure, looked around, and her eyes became cold again.

In the afternoon, Jiang Yuyan, who had been out, returned to the martial arts hall.

After entering the gate, I saw Li Ming sitting in the main hall, supervising his disciples to practice.

Jiang Yuyan walked over and greeted her master.

But when she looked up, she found that Li Ming was looking at her with meaningful eyes, as if he knew what had happened to her today.

"You have already reached the peak of the Xiantian realm. You have done well. Go down and consolidate your realm first."

Li Ming didn't say much, just waved and threw her a few useful pills.

Jiang Yuyan was stunned. She didn't expect that her master would notice that her cultivation had improved significantly, but didn't ask too many questions.

Of course, Jiang Yuyan had no intention of hiding it. She briefly told Li Ming what had happened and followed Li Ming's instructions to consolidate her strength.

Looking at Jiang Yuyan's leaving back, Li Ming nodded slightly.

Even without Jiang Yuyan saying anything, he knew what had happened.

After all, ever since Li Ming discovered Hua Wuque staring at the martial arts gym at the door a few days ago, he had already sent people to keep a close eye on him and knew everything Hua Wuque did.

Qixia Town is Li Ming's base camp. There are disciples from the Law Enforcement Hall patrolling back and forth, and there are also many Black Stone spies hiding in the dark. It is very easy to find out a person's whereabouts.

After knowing that Hua Wuque had followed Jiang Yuyan, Li Ming hid in the dark and witnessed the whole process.

However, the development of the matter still surprised Li Ming.

Because in the original plot, Jiang Yuyan and Hua Wuque had a bond. At the beginning, Jiang Yuyan was trapped in a brothel and was rescued by Hua Wuque. She fell in love with him on the spot. It was a complete appearance-based relationship.

It was only after experiencing various things that he gradually turned to the dark side.

I didn't expect that in this world, things would develop completely differently.

Jiang Yuyan had no feeling at all when facing Hua Wuque. Instead, she decisively plundered his cultivation and took his life.

At present, it seems that Jiang Yuyan's mind is completely different from before. She is more scheming, more experienced in handling things, and has a bit of a dark demeanor.

Of course, this is not necessarily a bad thing. Only a naive and innocent person is not worthy of surviving in this cannibalistic world.

Jiang Yuyan is only more ruthless and decisive towards outsiders, but not towards her own people. She has regarded the martial arts gym as her home, and her original intention has not changed.

So Li Ming didn't say much.

As for Jiang Biehe's true identity, Li Ming believes that Jiang Yuyan will make a wise choice on her own.

But on the other hand, Jiang Yuyan's growth rate was indeed far beyond his expectations.

Li Ming had never expected that the art of grafting would be so useful. It could absorb the skills of the masters of the Yihua Palace without any obstacles or losses.

In a short period of time, Jiang Yuyan has reached the peak of the Innate Realm.

The speed was really too fast, so fast that although Jiang Yuyan had this strength now, her foundation was not enough, and she still had a lot of room for improvement in controlling and mastering her own cultivation.

Li Ming had never seen or heard of such a situation before, and was unsure about his chances of helping Jiang Yuyan break through to the Grandmaster level now.

But if possible, you should still try it. Even if you fail, you can accumulate some experience for her.

If it really doesn't work, if I can meet the two palace masters of Yihua Palace one day and capture them for Jiang Yuyan to absorb, I guess I can directly break through to the Grandmaster level.

In the original plot, Jiang Yuyan directly absorbed the skills of the two palace masters Yao Yue and Lian Xing by means of grafting.

After thinking about all this, Li Ming stood up, walked around the martial arts hall, and checked the progress of his disciples' training as usual.

He also inspected the pharmacy, medical clinic, and equipment hall.

During the time I was away, they did not slack off and did not neglect any of their tasks.

Now the martial arts hall has extremely abundant resources.

In the weapon hall, one could even see exquisite mass-produced crossbows and a large number of hidden weapons. Now that the technology had matured completely, there would be enough equipment for each disciple in his martial arts school, and there would also be sufficient logistical support.

There are mountains of pills with various functions in the pharmacy, and the shelves are filled with densely packed porcelain bottles.

Of course, most of these are elixirs recorded in the Diegu Medical Classics.

Most of the secret recipes and techniques of the Xiaoyao Sect's unique skills are only mastered by Li Ming and Yang Guo. Only the method of refining Yiqi Powder has been passed on to a few trustworthy core disciples of the medicine hall.

The current output is enough for all the disciples in the martial arts school.

After completing the inspection, Li Ming was finally satisfied.

When he returned to the martial arts arena, Li Ming found Qiao Feng standing there, with his hands on his shoulders, watching the martial arts disciples practice intently, with amazement flashing in his eyes from time to time.

When Qiao Feng first arrived at Qixia Town, he was quite interested in the prosperous scene of the town and wandered around with Azhu for a long time.

But now, Qiao Feng discovered that the training model of the disciples in the martial arts school became more and more interesting.

At least among the group of core disciples, basically everyone follows the elite training route and has strong strength.

Moreover, this group of disciples were even more powerful when they cooperated with each other. Whether it was their tacit understanding in cooperation or the formations they practiced, Qiao Feng was amazed.

Not to mention, each of them has mastered many unique skills, and their own strength is far beyond that of the same level, which is completely incomparable to those ordinary warriors outside.

The more Qiao Feng looked, the more frightened he became.

He had been the leader of the Beggars' Sect and had also trained disciples of the sect. He certainly knew how difficult it was to train a group of masters.

This requires not only good seedlings and a lot of effort, but also sufficient resources.

How many resources will be consumed by Li Ming's group of core disciples?

I guess even the average mid-level sect wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

Not to mention that Qiao Feng heard that this group of disciples grew rapidly within a year.

The more he watched, the more Qiao Feng felt that his brother was becoming more and more mysterious and unfathomable.

Just as I was thinking about it, Li Ming came over.

"My dear brother, these disciples of yours are all rare talents in the martial arts world."

Qiao Feng gave a thumbs up.
