I am about to die of old age, and I have awakened the character of longevity.

Chapter 203: Canglong Holy Weapon, Nine-fold Internal Strength!
Xie An didn't expect that the Fairy Queen would fall down like this.

Through the keen sense of qi, it can be known that Chenxi is indeed only hanging on by a thread.

After a quick check of Chenxi's injuries, leaving aside the obvious external injuries, there were two wounds on his chest that penetrated his abdominal cavity. It was estimated that all his internal organs were pierced.

If a ninth-level martial artist were to be injured this badly, he would probably die instantly.

Chenxi can still hold on until now, the martial arts master's methods are truly amazing.

Opening the secrets of the human body...it's truly unfathomable.

Xie An sighed in his heart at the Grandmaster's mysterious methods, and then began to think about his future affairs:

Since he had already taken the Seven Treasures Box and caused palm prints to form on it... it meant that it would be possible to open the fairy box in the future.

Then, the hidden danger of Chenxi must not be allowed to continue.

Moreover, Chen Xi had coveted his treasure last time, and Xie An didn't want that to happen again. He certainly wouldn't believe the words of a desperate person.

Furthermore, Xie An participated in the destruction of the Corpse Refining Hall, a branch of the Changsheng Sect, and next he wanted to destroy the entire Changsheng Sect.

As the founder of the Changsheng Sect, Chenxi must eradicate the roots!
However, Chenxi could indeed provide him with invaluable information. If he killed her now, he would miss the opportunity to find the source of the Seven Treasures Box, which would be a shame. He also felt unwilling to accept this.

It has been eight years since I got the magic treasure, but I still don’t understand where it came from.

Spiritual objects are so rare in this world that it's difficult to find relevant information through research alone. Dawn is almost the only breakthrough.

Dawn must be used, but must also die

After determining this general policy, Xie An began to think about the specific operations:

To use it, but also to die... The only way to do that is to control her.

Chenxi can be controlled at will at this moment, but once her injuries recover... that will be difficult.

But this is not a problem for Xie An, he can find help.

After making up his mind, Xie An immediately took action and told Bai Hu: "Go to Hei Ze County and tell Su Yuqing about the situation here."

The white fox was squatting on the table at this moment, raising his hands and rubbing them together as if counting money.

Asking for benefits...

Xie An was speechless when he saw its appearance.

After Xie An did this move once, it learned it. And it learned it quite well...

"You'll need your lemmings. Go ahead."

The white fox grinned, then jumped out of the window with a "whoosh" and disappeared without a trace.

After months of training, the white fox became Xie An's right-hand man. Despite its small size, it was actually incredibly intelligent, with a foreboding ability comparable to Xie An's. Furthermore, its speed was so terrifying that even Xie An, using his full Mingyu Gong, couldn't catch up.

Let it go and tip off, it's very safe.

Then, Xie An went to the east wing and found Master Huang.

Master Huang put away the mirror and opened the door to welcome Xie An in. "Just now, I noticed a martial arts master entering General Xie's room, but the other party was too seriously injured and was dying. He was not a threat to General Xie, so I did not disturb him."

Xie An did not hide it, "I came here for this matter."

After several months of getting along, and with Su Yuqing's active lobbying, Master Huang has agreed to cooperate with Xie An. Naturally, they have become more familiar with each other and have become partners who share weal and woe.

Furthermore, as they spent more and more time together, Xie An got to know Master Huang better, and Master Huang also appreciated Xie An more and more.

In addition to Xie An's temperament and personality that Master Huang admired, there was another thing... that was the white fox.

Every time Master Huang saw the white fox happily following Xie An, he felt very pleased.

Over the past few years, White Fox had suffered a lot following Master Huang. He rarely saw White Fox as happy as he was now...

"Master Xie, are you having any difficulties?" Master Huang said magnanimously, "If you need any help from me, please let me know."

Xie An was also straightforward and explained the whole story.

Master Huang wasn't surprised to hear this. "Director Xie wants to control this person?"

"Master Huang, do you have any ideas?"

"This isn't difficult." Master Huang calmly took out a pill and handed it to Xie An. "Director Xie, just have her take this pill. Even if her injuries heal, she'll still die in a year."

Xie An took the pill and saw that it was emerald green in color and had no medicinal smell. It was no different from an ordinary green plum.

Can this inconspicuous pill poison a martial arts master?
Then the problem is coming.

After giving it to Chenxi to eat... it would be bad if she found out and refused to tell her the information about the magic treasure.

Master Huang seemed to see Xie An's worry. "Don't worry, General Xie. This pill is the most poisonous medicine of our clan. Even a fourth-grade master can't detect any abnormality. After a year, the drug's power will instantly explode in the body, killing on the spot."

Xie An was amazed and breathed a sigh of relief.

If you have connections, it will be easier to get things done.

There is really only so much you can do if you rely solely on your own abilities.

Fortunately, Master Huang is one of us.

Otherwise... you'll be in danger.

Speaking of it, Xie An felt it was unbelievable.

I actually get along so well with a big monster.

The human heart is sometimes scarier than demons.

"Thank you, Master Huang. This man is seriously injured. Please come with me to take a look." Xie An took the pills and bowed to express his gratitude.

Master Huang pinched the magic mirror in his arms and said with a smile, "General Xie's business is my business, as it should be."

Although Su Yuqing repeatedly explained that she was not Mrs. Xie, Master Huang still stubbornly believed that this brilliant and talented princess was Xie An's future concubine.

For this reason, Master Huang had some intention of taking the initiative to make friends with Xie An.

Of course, Xie An didn't know what Master Huang was thinking.

Entering the main living room, Master Huang squatted down and carefully examined Chenxi's injuries. Finally, he made a judgment, "This person was poisoned by the Bloodthirsty Powder and was besieged by three martial arts masters. That's why he was injured like this."

Can you see this?

Xie An was surprised, "How did Master Huang know it was the Bloodthirsty Powder?"

Master Huang said, "Because back then... I was ambushed by the Four Old Demons and was poisoned by the Bloodthirsty Powder. This is the secret medicine of the Changsheng Sect. A bastard named Guang Chanzi visited the Four Old Demons and gave them the Bloodthirsty Powder."

Xie An didn't know about Master Huang's secret. He wanted to ask, but he knew that now was not the right time. He showed an indignant expression, "Guang Chanzi is truly vicious. He dared to team up with the four old demons to plot against Master Huang. I can't swallow this. If I get the chance in the future, I will capture Guang Chanzi and avenge Master Huang's anger."

Hearing this, Master Huang glanced at Xie An and thought to himself: Why do I feel like you are playing me?
But Xie An's expression is very realistic.

Master Huang was unsure of the truth for a moment, but a certain amount of emotion welled up in his heart. He said, "It's truly abominable. I was about to break through to the Second-Rank Grandmaster level ahead of the other four old demons, but these old creatures couldn't bear to see me succeed, so they plotted against me. Eh... why is this person so targeted by Guang Chanzi? From what I understand, only Guang Chanzi has the Bloodthirsty Powder."

This reminded Xie An, and a picture appeared in his mind: Guang Chanzi is Jin Xiaotang's younger brother. Could it be that there is an internal conflict between the two?

If that's the case... the one who surrounded and killed Jin Xiaotang must be Guang Chanzi himself.

But... Xie An has seen the Heavenly Father, but the Heavenly Father's aura should not be as strong as that of a martial arts master.

Many wild ideas flashed through Xie An's mind.

Finally, a flash of inspiration:
Could it be that the Heavenly Father is a substitute pushed forward by Guang Chanzi?

After this thought came to his mind, Xie An couldn't help but take a breath.

Finding a stand-in with the exact same appearance... ordinary people in this world would never think of doing this.

But Xie An had experienced the era of information explosion in his previous life, and many plots in film and television dramas greatly expanded his knowledge.

The more I think about it, the more reasonable it seems.

If this is true, then Guang Chanzi is too cowardly.

It also means that this person is terrible.

"Could it be that Director Xie has thought of something?"

Master Huang's words brought Xie An back to his senses. He asked, "Master Huang, do you know the identity of this person?"

Master Huang shook his head.

Xie An said: "This person is Guang Chanzi's elder sister, the former Tianbao Fairy Queen, Jin Xiaotang."

Upon hearing this, Master Huang gasped, "So it's Jin Xiaotang. I've seen him before. But why did he become so young?"

"Ming Yu Gong, rejuvenating. When has Master Huang met this person?"

Master Huang marveled at the wonders of Mingyu Gong, then said, "In the previous dynasty, this man reached the level of a fourth-grade Grandmaster. He visited Wulao Peak and even infiltrated its forbidden area. Back then, he was vicious and ruthless, stirring up conflict between me and the other four old men. He was truly despicable."

Xie An nodded, without hesitation, and stuffed the pill into Jin Xiaotang's mouth. "Master Huang, don't worry. I will deal with this person after I get some information." Master Huang's mouth curled up, "It is as it should be. Next, I can heal her. She will recover 30% to 40% in a few days. Don't disturb me while I am practicing."

"Thank you, Master Huang. If you need anything, just tell Yuhe."

……

As the sky was just getting light, Xie An disguised himself as the young Liu Mu and secretly went to find Liu Fang. He told Liu Fang that he and his elder sister were going to leave Heize County for a while to collect one million taels of silver to honor the Heavenly Father.

He also gave Liu Fang five hundred taels of silver in private.

Liu Fang happily accepted it and said that he would definitely tell God and praise Liu Mu for his loyalty to the Holy Church.

After making sure that such a statement would not arouse the suspicion of Heavenly Father, Xie An immediately returned to the courtyard, took his elder sister Su Yuqing on a boat, and quietly left Heize County along the Huai River.

A black-sailed boat drifted slowly along the Huai River to the vicinity of Shuideng Town.

The white fox lay on the bow of the boat, with one paw hanging on the edge of the boat, its body hanging down, and using the other paw to grab fish and eat them.

Inside the boat tent, Xie An had returned to his youthful appearance, and Su Yuqing had also regained her youthful and beautiful appearance. The two sat down together, and Xie An recounted the story of the Fairy Queen and his judgment. Finally, he said, "It's very likely that the Heavenly Father isn't Guang Chanzi himself. If we rashly capture the Heavenly Father, and if we catch the wrong person and alert the enemy...it would be difficult to capture the real Guang Chanzi."

Princess Su Yuqing was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat. She looked at Xie An with a different look in her eyes. "How did you come up with all this?"

Xie An naturally wouldn't say that he had seen a lot in his previous life, but instead found an excuse, "I cultivated my aura and realized that Heavenly Father's aura was not as strong as that of a ninth-grade master. I felt something was wrong at the time. But it's not ruled out that Guang Chanzi had encountered something and fell in realm. But Master Huang said that the Immortal Queen was poisoned by Guang Chanzi's unique bloodthirsty powder..."

Su Yuqing nodded, "You are indeed careful. Otherwise, if you act rashly, you will probably fail. Xie An, you are a great talent."

This praise still made Xie An feel happy.

However, Xie An did not show it, and only said: "The specific situation will have to wait until Jin Xiaotang wakes up. I will know after asking. However... there are three masters besieging Jin Xiaotang, plus the two masters around Tianfu. It can be seen that there are at least five masters in Tianan State. Can the princess capture Guang Chanzi?"

Su Yuqing said calmly: "We can catch him."

"Is it foolproof?"

"can."

Xie An asked again: "What if there are more than five Grandmasters in Tian'an State? After all, it was the state religion of the previous dynasty. Although there were no Martial Saints in the Tianbao Dynasty, there should be no shortage of Grandmasters."

He knew that Su Yuqing was very powerful, but facing more than five masters at the same time... Xie An still had doubts in his heart.

Perhaps seeing Xie An's worry, Su Yuqing did not hide anything, but took out a rectangular wooden box and placed it on the table.

The box was four feet long, made of black wood, and was unlocked.

"This is?"

Su Yuqing said: "The Blue Dragon Sacred Soldier."

Xie An couldn't understand what was going on.

Su Yuqing explained, "It's the weapon of the Canglong Martial Saint. My master gave it to me. It's a sword. It's infused with the Martial Saint's blood and will. Unless you're a First-Rank Grandmaster, anyone who encounters it will be injured or killed."

Xie An's heart skipped a beat.

She has to be the eldest princess.

The family background is rich.

The old Martial Saint has brought all his holy weapons here.

Xie An couldn't help rubbing his hands, and he felt quite tempted to take a look.

Su Yuqing held the box down with her hand and said with a smile, "Once it's opened, the blood and energy will surge, and it will easily cause a huge commotion. Now is not the time. Wait until we catch Guang Chanzi and I'll let you see enough."

Since the princess had said so, Xie An naturally couldn't force it and agreed immediately, "The princess must keep her word."

It doesn’t matter whether you look at the other weapons or not.

But Xie An really couldn't help but want to take a look at the weapon of the old Martial Saint, so as to know how magnificent it was.

It is said that when martial arts masters open the secrets of the human body, human essence and blood can affect external objects, produce evil spirits, etc.

Xie An was extremely longing for it.

Su Yuqing smiled and said, "Of course. When you arrive in the capital, I can introduce you to my master."

Meeting the Martial Saint...

Discussing Dao with the Martial Saint...

Just thinking about it made Xie An very excited.

Xie An couldn't help laughing, and Su Yuqing opposite him also showed a long-lost smile.

Xie An and Su Yuqing did not return home, but drifted on the black-sailed boat for three days and three nights. When they were hungry, they would catch some fish and grill them to satisfy their hunger. They could also see Su Yuqing writing and painting, and their days were very comfortable.

Both of them seemed to like this leisurely and leisurely life.

Su Yuqing loved to indulge in the beauty of mountains and rivers, and whenever Xie An was with this woman, he would feel a long-lost sense of tranquility and comfort, as if all his troubles had been forgotten.

In this state of mind, Xie An clearly felt that his martial arts had improved greatly.

Su Yuqing told Xie An that when practicing martial arts, he needed to slow down, even forget about practicing, and enjoy life, indulge in the mountains and rivers, and feel the withering and flourishing of plants.

Slowing down is not about being lazy, but about making a better start.

That morning, Su Yuqing was painting beside the table on the black-sailed boat, while Xie An was sitting cross-legged outside the boat, practicing the Water Drop Internal Energy Technique.

Dark clouds gathered in the sky.

After a while, it started to rain.

wow~
The white fox caught a blackfin croaker and was so excited that it rushed into the boat awning and bared its teeth at Su Yuqing to show off its achievement.

Su Yuqing put down the wolf-hair brush and chuckled softly, "Today is a day of harvest."

Yeah.

The white fox nodded repeatedly and continued to show off his catch of black carp.

Su Yuqing said, "I'm not just talking about you."

The white fox was puzzled.

Su Yuqing raised her slender jade finger and pointed at Xie An who was sitting cross-legged outside the boat awning. "I have entered the realm of water drop internal energy."

The white fox turned to look at his elder brother outside the house, and was stunned:
The raindrops falling on Xie An's body were twisted by something and began to flow along a certain path, forming a complex vortex.

Wow!

Xie An clearly felt the internal energy in his body turning into tiny drops of water.

It keeps flowing through the limbs and bones.

Scattered they are stars in the sky, gathered they are a ball of fire!

Water Drop Internal Energy Method, done!
Boom!

The muscles and bones of his entire body vibrated together, like a huge bell or drum, making a buzzing sound that made the white fox's eardrums ache.

At this time, Xie An also opened his eyes and saw Su Yuqing in the boat awning, and saw that relieved and bright smile on her face.

"Congratulations, you have mastered the Water Drop Internal Energy Technique. Taking the Nine-Layer Internal Energy Pill can break through the Nine-Layer Internal Energy."

Ok.

Xie An nodded, took out the Nine-Layer Internal Strength Pill and swallowed it.

As the powerful medicinal energy poured in, within moments, his muscles and bones began to crackle like frying beans, and even the joints crackled. The internal energy that had once flowed like a stream suddenly surged and expanded, bursting forth like a giant bear and galloping horse, flowing throughout his body.

Thunderous drums roared, and the falling rain outside was also affected by the water droplet's internal energy method, twisting and flowing, unable to get close to him. Even the black-sailed boat began to shake.

As the internal energy released from his body became stronger and stronger, Xie An's skin turned red, sweat poured down, and a look of pain appeared on his face.

pat.

The white fox was stunned, not even noticing that the roe in its mouth had fallen to the ground. It seemed to be shocked by the bravery and might of the eldest brother.

The white fox has been with Master Huang in Wulao Peak for many years and has seen a lot. It has seen powerful monsters at the ninth level of martial arts, but this is the first time it has seen such powerful ninth level internal energy.

Even a newly-entered ninth-grade Grandmaster is no more than this, right?
Su Yuqing seemed to see Bai Hu's confusion and chuckled softly, "He's different from the average ninth-level martial artist. He has a strong foundation in health-preserving techniques. He's cultivated the cold and hot energies of the Mingyu Gong, nourishing his body over a long period of time, making him exceptionally powerful. The ninth-level internal energy he generates is several times greater than that of an average ninth-level martial artist. If he can master the circulation of the ninth-level internal energy and cultivate the Mingyu Gong to the twentyth level, he'll be no match for a ninth-level master and can fight him head-on."

The white fox finally came to its senses, looked down at the jumping black-lipped cat on the ground, and lost its appetite. It slapped the black-lipped cat away with one claw, then lay on the ground and stared at its eldest brother outside the black-sailed boat.

Just then, Xie An let out a painful groan, his face distorted.

The white fox was very worried, "Why is my eldest brother in so much pain?"

Su Yuqing said, "The Water Drop Internal Energy Technique has the effect of strengthening internal energy. Plus, his internal energy is too strong, so it's inevitable that it will be difficult to control for a while. It will be fine after a while."
