Daqin arrests alchemists, what does it matter to me as a qi refiner?

Qin Mingyu followed closely behind, and his admiration for Yang Ling deepened. He knew that he had really made friends with an extraordinary person this time.

Afterwards, Yang Ling's unwillingness to kill innocent people prompted him to shout directly:
"Get out of my way..."

His words were filled with unquestionable majesty. When those people heard Yang Ling's voice, it was as if they had heard the sound of nature, and they all retreated like the tide. In just a moment, the place was empty.

At this moment, Qin Mingyu slowly walked up to Yang Ling, mustered up the courage and said:
"Mr. Zhao, could you please move aside? I have something to say to you alone."

There was a hint of hesitation in his voice, and he was obviously in awe of Yang Ling's unfathomable strength, and was unsure whether his request would be accepted.

Yang Ling turned his gaze to Qin Mingyu and nodded slightly:

"Just say whatever you want to say. My time is precious and I don't like beating around the bush."

Qin Mingyu heard this and said sincerely:
"Sir, your cultivation is unfathomable and admirable. What's more, you have a sense of justice and are a role model for our generation. Therefore, I dare to ask you to be my master!"

This sudden request surprised Yang Ling a little. He looked at Qin Mingyu carefully, and then refused without hesitation:

"I have never thought of accepting a disciple, and I have no interest in this matter."

Qin Mingyu felt disappointed when he heard this, but he did not give up. He spoke again, his tone full of determination:

"Sir, as long as you can take me in, I'm willing to pay any price!"

As he said this, he was about to kneel down and kowtow. However, before he could kneel down, Yang Ling helped him up.

"I said, I don't like to accept disciples. It will bring me unnecessary trouble."

Yang Ling's tone was firm and cold, which made Qin Mingyu feel chilled. However, at this moment, Yang Ling changed the subject and said:

"However, although I don't accept disciples, I can guide you in your practice."

To Qin Mingyu, these words were like a blessing from heaven. He was so excited that his whole body was shaking. He immediately knelt on the ground, his eyes gleaming with indescribable joy.

He knew that although he had good talent, it would be almost impossible to make a breakthrough without new opportunities. And now, Yang Ling was willing to lend him a helping hand, how could he not be excited?
Under Qin Mingyu's guidance, Yang Ling came to the remote mansion where he temporarily lived. Although the mansion was simple, it looked peaceful and elegant.

"Sir, from now on, I will serve you here."

After bringing Yang Ling into the house, Qin Mingyu bowed and saluted, his tone full of respect. Yang Ling waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to be so polite. Although he had no intention of accepting a disciple, he didn't mind teaching some cultivation methods to those who were destined to be with him. After all, in his opinion, Qin Mingyu's qualifications were quite good.

Next, Yang Ling sat alone in the house, lost in thought. He closed his eyes and concentrated, and the power of his soul began to surge in his mind. He began to practice various combat skills suitable for Qin Mingyu in his mind, trying to find the most suitable path of cultivation for him. However, he didn't know that his action actually attracted the surrounding spiritual energy.

Qin Mingyu, feeling the changes in the surrounding spiritual energy, was filled with surprise.

He walked to Yang Ling's door and stood there, inexplicably feeling a strange wave of vibrations all around him. This wave was both familiar and strange, making him feel very confused.

Just as he was wondering, the grass and trees in the yard suddenly began to sway.

Immediately afterwards, the leaves all over the sky began to float, as if pulled by an invisible force.

Then, these leaves condensed into a huge sword, emitting a sharp aura and piercing straight into the sky.

In an instant, all the plants in the yard withered and turned into powder.

Seeing this scene, Qin Mingyu was stunned. He couldn't understand what was happening before his eyes, and he just felt that it was all too unbelievable.

At the same time, he sensed a powerful spiritual energy surging around the yard.

This surge of spiritual power actually gave him signs of a breakthrough in the realm he had been stuck in for so long.

This shocked him even more, and at the same time, made him more determined to follow Yang Ling.

However, Yang Ling was completely unaware of the changes in the courtyard at this time. He was still immersed in the process of practicing the exercises and completely forgot everything around him.

Time passes quietly, and in the blink of an eye, a day has passed.

When Yang Ling slowly opened his eyes, he exhaled a breath of foul air and his face flushed slightly. He finally stopped practicing and then recorded the practiced skills into a jade slip.

After recording the skills, Yang Ling slowly opened the door and prepared to look for Qin Mingyu.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, Qin Mingyu came up to him impatiently and bowed respectfully:
"Sir, you are finally done!"

Yang Ling nodded, handed the jade slip in his hand to Qin Mingyu, and said:

"This is a set of exercises that I have perfected based on your own situation. This set of exercises will definitely help you break through the existing realm barrier and help you advance smoothly."

Qin Mingyu took the jade slip and was very excited. He didn't expect that Yang Ling would perfect a new set of exercises for him in just one day.

He couldn't contain his excitement, and after obtaining Yang Ling's consent, he immediately began to check the contents of the jade slip.

After reading the jade slip, Qin Mingyu breathed a sigh of relief. He muttered to himself absentmindedly:

"It's amazing! This technique is tailor-made for me!"

His voice was filled with indescribable surprise and awe. After hearing his voice, Yang Ling frowned slightly and reminded:

"You are indeed talented, but you need to work harder in the future. Remember, the technique is only auxiliary, the most important thing is to rely on personal understanding and practice."

Facing Yang Ling's reminder, Qin Mingyu nodded repeatedly. He knew that it was a great opportunity for him to meet Yang Ling, so he kept every word of Yang Ling in mind.

"Thank you for your cultivation, sir! I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

Qin Mingyu saluted Yang Ling again, his eyes gleaming with a burning light. After hearing his assurance, Yang Ling nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Well, in that case, then you can leave with me."

After saying that, he led Qin Mingyu away. Qin Mingyu followed closely behind, with a determined light in his eyes. He knew that as long as he performed well, he would be able to get more guidance from Yang Ling in the future.

Although Yang Ling had no intention of accepting a disciple, it was a blessing to be able to follow him. At this moment, Yang Ling had only one thought in his mind: to return to Xianyang City as soon as possible to see the current situation of Daqin.

The two walked forward and soon walked a hundred feet away. When they arrived near the Qin border, a team of guards came up and stopped them.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the border of Qin!" A Qin border soldier shouted. However, facing the soldier's question, Yang Ling showed no fear. He glanced at the guards and said:
"I am Yang Ling. You just need to inform your general as soon as possible."

His voice was calm and indifferent, but it revealed an unquestionable majesty. When the soldiers guarding the city heard Yang Ling's name, their faces instantly became respectful.

They had heard of Yang Ling's name a long time ago, and knew that he had a close relationship with the Emperor of Qin and had led the Qin army to fight against foreign races and won great military exploits.

"It turns out that it is a distinguished guest! We are sorry for not welcoming you in person. Please wait for a moment. I will go and report to the general!"

The soldiers did not dare to delay and quickly made way and hurried to inform the general.

Yang Ling ignored them and continued to walk forward with Qin Mingyu.

Soon, they arrived at the residence of the general guarding the city. To Yang Ling's surprise, the general guarding the city turned out to be Xiang Yu.

The two had shared hardships and life and death together, so it was natural that they were surprised and delighted to meet each other again.

However, Yang Ling had no time to reminisce about the past. He looked at Xiang Yu and asked directly:
"Why are you here guarding the city? What is the current situation in Qin?"

His tone was full of concern and anxiety. After hearing this, Xiang Yu pondered for a moment and said:
"The Qin State has achieved good results in the war with foreign tribes. However, since you have lost contact unexpectedly and your majesty has been in seclusion for cultivation, the prince has decided to negotiate with the foreign tribes."

After hearing Xiang Yu's words, Yang Ling couldn't help but sigh. Although peace talks were also a solution, it seemed a pity to him.

After all, although war is cruel, it is also a good opportunity to train the army and enhance national strength.

"It's fine to negotiate, but it's a pity."

Yang Ling said softly.

Xiang Yu smiled and asked curiously:

"By the way, sir, why did you suddenly come back here?"

Although Xiang Yu and Yang Ling were quite familiar with each other, they rarely had the opportunity to meet.

Today, Yang Ling's sudden visit made Xiang Yu feel suspicious.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Yang Ling smiled and said, "Don't think too much. I was just traveling and happened to pass by here."

Before he finished speaking, Xiang Yu could not wait to reply: "In that case, sir, please come in! We haven't seen each other for a long time. This time we are together, we must have a good drink."

Upon hearing this, Yang Ling said no more and walked straight into the general's mansion.

After the three of them sat down as host and guest, Yang Ling spoke first: "Brother Xiang, you and I can be considered close friends. It is fate that we met today. If you have anything to say, just tell me."

Yang Ling knew clearly in his mind that if Xiang Yu had no other intentions, he would never entertain him so warmly.

Although he never likes to meddle in other people's affairs, he would be happy to do so if he could help a friend.

After hearing this, Xiang Yu showed a grateful look on his face, and then slowly said: "Sir, I have been practicing for a long time, but I am still stuck in the Xiantian realm and can't make any progress." As he said this, he glanced at Yang Ling, with an embarrassed look on his face, "I wonder if you can give me some advice?"

Facing Xiang Yu's request, Yang Ling did not refuse. He had a close relationship with Xiang Yu, and Xiang Yu's qualifications were indeed excellent.

Thinking of this, Yang Ling nodded: "It's okay, I will teach you a new set of skills, you just need to practice diligently."

Xiang Yu was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately thanked him. Then, he picked up the teacup on the table and respectfully handed it to Yang Ling.

Yang Ling took the tea and drank it all, then said with satisfaction: "It's been a long time since we last met, why don't you show me how strong you are now?"

"Okay, sir, please look!" Xiang Yu said, and then he walked to a pine tree and stood there. He spread his arms and instantly flew into the air.

"Hah!" Accompanied by a deafening roar, Xiang Yu slapped out with his palm.

A fierce palm wind whistled out, and in an instant, a powerful energy shot out from the palm print.

"Boom!" The energy hit a towering tree fiercely, making a deafening explosion. The pine tree was instantly broken in half, and the dust in the field was in chaos.

"Sir, this is my attack!" Xiang Yu said proudly after performing this move.

Yang Ling looked around, a hint of shock flashed in his eyes: "What a strong control!" After calming down a little, he exclaimed sincerely.

Qin Mingyu, who was standing by, also looked at Xiang Yu in surprise. Even he himself might not be able to display such strength easily. But Xiang Yu seemed to be able to do it effortlessly. How could he not be shocked?
"Hehe, this is the result of my years of hard work!" When Xiang Yu heard Yang Ling's praise and saw Qin Mingyu's shocked expression, he felt extremely proud.

At this time, Yang Ling was extremely surprised at Xiang Yu's growth. He had long known that Xiang Yu was gifted, but he had never expected that his strength would be so strong.

You know, the giant tree that was knocked down was hundreds of meters high, and it could be easily destroyed by physical strength alone. Such strength is much stronger than that of ordinary martial artists.

Afterwards, Yang Ling asked Xiang Yu to circulate his true Qi in order to gain a deeper understanding of his practice.

After a careful investigation, Yang Ling said that he needed some time to prepare.

Seeing this, Xiang Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir, take your time. I know that the technique is not something that can be mastered in a short time."

Yang Ling said calmly: "Others may need a long time, but I may not." After that, he asked Xiang Yu to prepare a quiet place for him.

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yu immediately ordered his men to take care of the backyard. After his men had arranged everything, he led his men away.

Yang Ling sat cross-legged, lost in thought.

At this moment, a secret technique that he had unexpectedly acquired emerged involuntarily in his mind - "Nine Transformations of the Overlord".

It is said that when this technique is perfected, one can shatter the stars with one punch. It is a physical training technique that is very suitable for Xiang Yu's physique.

After all, Xiang Yu was a legendary figure who could lift a thousand-jin tripod with his mortal body.

Another important reason why Yang Ling chose to let Xiang Yu practice this method is that this method has extremely high requirements for warriors, and ordinary warriors simply cannot meet its requirements. Now, he wants to give it a try to see if Xiang Yu can successfully practice this "Nine Transformations Overlord Art".

After some careful fine-tuning, Yang Ling engraved the simplified version of "Nine Transformations Overlord Art" into a jade slip. Then, he used the power of the system to perform some calculations... (End of this chapter)
