You were made to take the blame and go to jail, but you weren't made a master of both medicine

After they finished talking, Qin Ran left.

He received a message from Qiao Ling'er as soon as he got on the bus.

The other party informed him that the Marrow Cleansing Pill had been refined and asked him to go and collect it.

Qin Ran hadn't expected the girl to be so fast.

He immediately drove to the Medicine King Pavilion.

After meeting, Qiao Ling'er handed the Marrow Cleansing Pill to Qin Ran.

Qin Ran checked it.

This Marrow Cleansing Pill can be described as top-grade.

"Not bad, as expected of my apprentice, you haven't disappointed me," Qin Ran said with a smile.

"Master, your praise is a bit far-fetched. If I can't even refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill properly, then I might as well not be an alchemist at all," Qiao Ling'er said, pouting.

"Hehe, you're right. Thanks for your hard work. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

"Master, you must come often in the future. There is still so much I need to learn from you."

"If I'm not too busy in the future, I'll come here often."

"it is good."

After taking the pills, Qin Ran left the Medicine Emperor Pavilion and went to Xue Zhirong's place.

Upon arrival, he took out the Marrow Cleansing Pill.

Xue Zhirong's eyes widened: "What's this?"

"This is called the Marrow Cleansing Pill. It can help cleanse your body and open up your meridians. It is also the most commonly used medicine for ordinary people entering the martial arts world."

"Take it directly?"

"right."

Xue Zhirong's throat bobbed.

He held the pill in his mouth and then swallowed it with water.

He looked somewhat nervous at that moment.

"I don't seem to feel anything?"

"This isn't a magic pill, so it won't take effect that quickly," Qin Ran said with a smile.

Xue Zhirong did not respond.

He waited patiently.

Qin Ran didn't rush to leave either.

Everyone's constitution is different.

He was also worried that something unusual might happen to Xue Zhirong's body after he took the Marrow Cleansing Pill.

About fifteen minutes later.

Xue Zhirong's body began to change.

Sweat poured down his forehead.

The body began to convulse.

Seeing this, Qin Ran said, "It's working. This process helps you eliminate impurities from your body. It might be a little painful, so please bear with it."

Xue Zhirong ignored him.

He closed his eyes and shrank his head.

His body was still convulsing uncontrollably.

He was drenched in sweat.

"Ouch...it hurts...it really hurts..."

As Xue Zhirong shouted, his body involuntarily collapsed.

Upon seeing this, Qin Ran immediately stood up.

His reaction was too strong.

Most people will feel unwell after taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill, but not very strongly.

It seems his physique is not suitable for martial arts training.

He took the Marrow Cleansing Pill, which may very well kill him.

Meanwhile, Xue Zhirong was writhing on the ground in pain.

Qin Ran panicked completely: "Arong, bear with it, I'll force the pill out for you right now."

"No need! I feel I can do it, I definitely can."

"Don't push yourself. Most people wouldn't have such a strong reaction after taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill. Your reaction is too strong, which means your body can't adapt to the pill. If you force yourself to continue, you might lose your life."

Xue Zhirong gritted his teeth and said, "I feel both pain and pleasure right now. I feel my body guiding the medicine to spread throughout my body."

Qin Ran found it hard to believe.

At this moment, he noticed that the veins on Xue Zhirong's arm were bulging slightly.

Could Xue Zhirong possibly control the medicinal power to spread throughout his body via his meridians?

He didn't need any guidance; relying solely on his physical intuition, he could gather the medicinal power and cleanse the blocked meridians.

If that's the case, Xue Zhirong can definitely be called a martial arts genius.

Qin Ran observed carefully.

Just as he expected.

Xue Zhirong's physical body can indeed guide the medicinal power to spread through the meridians on its own.

Qin Ran was overjoyed.

This result was quite unexpected.

Over time.

Xue Zhirong's body gradually returned to its original state.

The medicinal power of the Marrow Cleansing Pill has been fully absorbed by his body.

"How are you feeling now?" Qin Ran asked.

Xue Zhirong let out a long sigh: "It feels great. My body feels like it has been reborn. I'm full of energy. I even feel like the world is brighter than before."

His words further solidified Qin Ran's judgment.

I never expected that this seemingly dull-witted kid would actually be a martial arts prodigy.

Indeed, appearances can be deceiving.

Perhaps somewhere, there lies a talent far beyond that of ordinary people.

"Ah Rong, I have good news for you. You are a martial arts prodigy. In other words, you have great talent in martial arts."

"Really? Or not?"

Qin Ran said, "Of course it's true. I could tell from your reaction just now that most people need the help of an outsider to allow the medicinal effects of the Marrow Cleansing Pill to spread throughout their body."

"But you are different. The pain you felt at the beginning was your body guiding the spread of the medicine on its own. This means that your body is more physique than ordinary people and was born specifically for martial arts."

"No matter what you do, talent far outweighs effort, and the same goes for cultivation. I can tell you with certainty that you have great talent."

Upon hearing this, Xue Zhirong grinned and said, "That's wonderful! I've finally found my path."

"Next, I will inject my true energy into your body. Try to channel the true energy through your meridians and store it in your dantian."

"it is good."

Qin Ran sat down on the ground and transferred his body into Xue Zhirong's body.

The next second, his body instinctively channeled his true energy through his meridians into his dantian.

"I can feel it now. I feel a warm current in my lower abdomen, and it feels a little swollen."

Qin Ran sighed inwardly.

That's incredibly fast.

This kid is incredibly talented.

With his help, I'll have another expert under my command.

After finishing, Qin Ran breathed a slight sigh of relief: "Arong, from now on you are a martial artist. Congratulations on officially entering the martial arts world."

"This is all thanks to you."

"Wrong. This time it's entirely up to you. Your martial arts talent has been fully awakened. From today onwards, you will begin your own cultivation. You must absorb the free primordial energy that exists between heaven and earth, use your physical body to absorb the primordial energy and guide it into your meridians, condensing it into true energy in your dantian. In this way, you will circulate and nourish your body, temper your muscles and bones, and then continue to absorb to increase the total amount of true energy," Qin Ran instructed.

Xue Zhirong nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I will try my best. If the Black Emperor Consortium announces the start of construction, I will work during the day and cultivate at night."

"With your talent for cultivation, you will break through your cultivation level very quickly. Try it first, and I will help you when the time is right."

"Okay." Xue Zhirong laughed heartily.

Qin Ran doesn't dare to let him blindly break through his cultivation level now.

Although he is very talented, he still needs time to mature.

Blindly pursuing rapid breakthroughs might backfire.

It was getting late.

Xue Zhirong invited Qin Ran to dinner.

The two did not go to an expensive restaurant, but instead went to the street food stall they often frequented.

Xue Zhirong brought Qin Ran to this place once before.

Qin Ran also thought this place was nice.

He really liked the taste here.

The two drank and chatted, reminiscing about their student days.

It's a pity Yao Zhiruo isn't here.

It would be perfect if she were here.

As night fell, the wind picked up.

This feeling made Qin Ran feel particularly good.

Suddenly, a convoy stopped in front of the food stall.

There was a Cadillac Escalade in the convoy.

It looks very imposing.

The car door opened, and one by one, men in black got out of the car.

The leader was a middle-aged man with a slicked-back hairstyle, who looked very stylish.

The diners were all watching these people.

Judging from their attitude, they probably wouldn't eat at a place like this.

Qin Ran and Xue Zhirong also looked at this group of people.

"These people are so stylish," Xue Zhirong joked.

"I don't think they're good people."

At the same time, the man with the slicked-back hair and his men walked towards Qin Ran.

As they drew closer.

Qin Ran could also tell that this group of people were all martial artists.

"Are you Qin Ran?" the man with the slicked-back hair asked.

"Yes, who are you?"

"I am Zhou Jingshen, the son of Zhou Zhenshan."

Qin Ran gave a cold laugh.

It turns out he's Zhou Zhenshan's son.

No wonder they made such a grand entrance.

"Come and get your revenge!"

Zhou Jingshen smiled and said, "My father's actions were his own fault, and there is no question of revenge."

The other party's answer was beyond Qin Ran's expectations.

"Then why did you come to see me?"

"I just want to know clearly, was my father killed by the 749th Bureau, or by you?"

Qin Ran thought for a moment: "To be precise, I killed him."

"Very good. There's another matter I need to inform you of. Starting today, I will be serving as the president of the Xijing Martial Arts Association." Zhou Jingshen's smile was somewhat sinister.

Qin Ran's expression changed instantly.

He always believed that Xu Mosheng would continue to serve as the president of the Xijing Martial Arts Association.

They had discussed this matter at the Xu family's house last time.

However, this is not the case.

Qin Ran wasn't stupid; he knew the other party's purpose in coming to Xijing.

Zhou Zhenshan is dead.

However, the Zhou family did not completely perish.

He had previously learned that the Zhou family was an ancient martial arts family.

It has a history of over a hundred years.

Although Zhou Zhenshan committed an unforgivable crime punishable by death, he is already dead, which can be considered as paying the price.

Therefore, the Dragon Kingdom will not eradicate the entire Zhou family.

Such a well-established ancient martial arts family is still of great use to the Dragon Kingdom.

While meditating, Qin Ran said with a fake smile, "Congratulations, Chairman Zhou."

Zhou Jingshen did not respond.

He turned and left.

His men followed.

All the diners were looking at Qin Ran.

They all assumed these men in black were his men.

Everyone cast respectful glances their way.

"There's no need for Zhou Jingshen to come all this way just to tell you this," Xue Zhirong said, looking at Qin Ran.

"It's obvious he's here to provoke us. He says his father committed a heinous crime and deserved to die, and there's no question of revenge, but that's not what he really thinks. His purpose in coming to Xijing is still to seek revenge on me," Qin Ran said with a mocking expression.

"So, we need to prepare for battle again."

"Yes! Ah Rong, are you really planning to follow me from now on?"

"Of course, we are brothers, so of course I have to follow you. Otherwise, there would be no point in me embarking on the path of martial arts."
