A bizarre resurgence begins with a pact made by a weasel.

After everyone had left.

Xie Qing looked at Bai Shuruo and said:

"Let everyone take a good rest."

"Distribute the spoils of war in one go, and have Xie Cheng and the Cheng family's people take a good look at them to make sure there are no hidden dangers."

Bai Shuruo suggested:

"My lord, let Huang Jue and I take turns keeping watch to prevent the other two families from launching a sneak attack."

Xie Qing nodded upon hearing this, and after a few leaps, he disappeared into the building.

He sat cross-legged on the futon and brought up the control panel.

Name: Xie Qing

Race: Human

[Faction: Linzhou - Heretical Path]

[Class: Dancer. You are skilled in dance and can learn any dance technique quickly.]

[Rank: E]

[Special Skills: Nuo Dance - Subduing Might E+, Nuo Dance - Haoli E+, Gilding E-, Melting Gold E-, Six Ears E-, Divine Smell E-, Marrow-Penetrating Silk E-, Throwing Technique F+→E, Martial Arts - Thunder Martial Scripture E]

[Attributes: Strength E, Root E+, Resistance E+, Spirit E, Agility E, Lightness E-]

[Secret Treasures: Face of the First Class (E+ (C)), Incurable Jar (E), Life-Bearing Butterfly (F+)]

[Strange Items: Unknown Stone E+, Burning Lamp Array E+, Miscellaneous Notes on Pitch-Pot (Annotated Version) D+]

There is now an additional martial arts technique on the panel compared to before.

Because of this Thunder Martial Arts Manual, the throwing technique was upgraded from F+ to E.

Xie Qing closed his eyes, recalling the contents of the Thunder Martial Scripture in his mind. One by one, the little figures reappeared, striking various poses. As they moved, thunderous sounds echoed in his mind.

Wherever the thunderous sound passed, it extinguished all distracting thoughts and desires, while simultaneously invigorating Xie Qing's consciousness, bringing his entire mental state to a state of perfect perfection.

"The key to martial arts lies in qi (vital energy)."

This energy is not the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but the vital energy of the physical body.

Ordinary people's vital energy is scattered throughout their limbs and bones, making it difficult to gather and use. Martial arts' methods of gathering and circulating vital energy are the methods of utilizing the physical body's vital energy. Different martial arts manuals can manifest this vital energy in different forms.

Xie Qing took a deep breath, and as the breath entered, the power of his limbs and bones gathered in his chest. He stretched out his palm, and this power was forced to flow to his palm, whereupon a faint white light immediately shone.

This is a method for gathering Qi.

His palm was like a knife, slicing downwards.

Swish!

The floorboards were cut open as easily as tofu.

"The strength in my hands has increased more than threefold."

The scattered energy on his body was channeled into his palms, naturally enhancing the power of his hand strikes.

Simultaneously,

Xie Qing could feel the parts of her body that had been drained of their vital energy becoming somewhat weak.

This weakness manifests in the sensitivity of reactions and the ability to recover.

"The ability to flexibly mobilize and allocate vital energy is key in actual combat. With the same strength and endurance, the one with martial arts enhancement is enough to crush the one without it."

This is only the method of gathering Qi.

There is also the even more crucial method of luck.

Xie Qing activated his vital energy according to the martial arts manual.

Zizizi!

In an instant,

The hazy white light on his palm suddenly transformed into countless particles that began to vibrate wildly.

They spun at high speed, eventually transforming into arcs of electricity that danced between his fingers and palms.

"That's truly remarkable."

Xie Qing's eyes widened.

now,

He felt as if he were holding a bolt of lightning.

He suddenly swung his hand and threw it.

Swish!

The electric arc condensed into a long spear and shot out.

It easily pierced through the thick wall, carrying a sharp popping sound and a heavy thunderous roar as it rushed through the night for hundreds of meters before gradually dissipating.

A chorus of alarms immediately rang out in the courtyard. Xie Qing stood at the window to signal them that there was no need to be on guard before looking at the hole in the wall.

The edges of the cave entrance were charred black, and the dark passageway was filled with charred ash and smoke.

The Thunder Martial Arts Manual's simulation of vital energy is almost indistinguishable from reality.

"If I were to fight Su Mo again, I wouldn't need any gems; this one move alone would be enough to blow his head off."

But this was followed by physical weakness.

Fortunately,

Vital energy is a renewable resource.

With sufficient blood and food and rest, it can gradually recover.

The Lei Ting Martial Scripture records methods for tempering the body and various nourishing recipes. However, these are much more common than methods for gathering and accumulating qi. To further improve physical aptitude and internal energy, one can only rely on long-term cultivation and accumulation.

This is nothing surprising.

Even so, Xie Qing still felt unsatisfied with the martial arts of Linzhou.

After all, this was the only systematic cultivation method he had ever seen since he transmigrated.

The extraordinary skills he possessed were more techniques, but martial arts transcended the realm of techniques and represented a relatively complete path.

After pondering for a long time, Xie Qing took out the incurable urn again.

now.

The human-faced jar was full of sorrow, and a faint red glow shimmered on it.

Shake the jar.

Glug glug!

Glug glug!

You can hear the sound of a ball of fur rolling inside.

[The Butterfly of Destiny is advancing.]

After absorbing the will to give birth, the spirit in its cocoon is undergoing a strange transformation; it needs a large number of spirits to break free and be reborn.

[The butterfly that carries a destiny → The butterfly that propagates destiny]

[Race: Gu Insect]

[Faction: Linzhou - Heretic Path]

[Class: Queen (Capable of mass reproduction and ruling the swarm. Can influence other Zerg in the area to a certain extent)]

[Level: F+ → E+]

[Special Abilities: Life Spawn E+ (can mass-produce Life-Bearing Butterflies), Heart of the Swarm E+]

No wonder the patient was so unhappy.

Xie Qing couldn't help but chuckle softly.

This spirit has actually broken free from the constraints of the urn. It has gone from being subordinate to the treasure to becoming an independent entity. Once it successfully conceives, the Destiny Butterfly might even take over and use the urn as its nest for breeding its offspring.

Xie Qing immediately crumpled the medical record she had obtained into a ball and stuffed it into the mouth of the urn.

The man looked aggrieved, his lips tightly closed.

Xie Qing didn't care about it and forcefully poked the paper ball inside with her finger.

In no time,

A newborn insect chirped from inside the jar, but it stopped abruptly after a few chirps. It was as if something was tightly binding the insect's mouthparts, followed by the sound of ice melting.

One by one, the spirits were born.

One by one, the spirits were destroyed.

Even the ointment spirit nurtured by Xie Hongtong and Su Mo's aura couldn't last long and soon turned into nourishment for the sublimation of the Derivation Butterfly.

【Ding! 】

[The critical condition has been downgraded.]

[Item Level: E→E-]

Such rapid nurturing of the spirit essence undoubtedly depletes the essence of the spirit vessel.

But Xie Qing didn't care.

E+

This is a power comparable to the beasts of today.

A mother organism capable of mass-producing Life-Bearing Butterflies is undoubtedly more valuable than a cauldron.

Inside the jar, the cocoon began to buzz again.

Xie Qing tapped the jar and promised:

Don't worry.

"Fresh ingredients will be delivered to our door soon."

*******************

Xie Hong and his group hurried along.

Su Mo was carried on Leo's back.

Although the werewolf was unhappy, under Xie Hong's orders, he had no choice but to carry the big man and run.

"Xie Hong, are we just going to let this go?"

"Otherwise what?"

Xie Hong's tone was subdued:

"You think you can beat him?"

He was naturally referring to Xie Qing.

Leo cushioned Su Mo's fall, knowing he couldn't even beat this big rat, let alone that young man.

"But you still have..."

"shut up!!"

Seeing Xie Hong's ferocious expression, Leo sheepishly shut up.

Sudden.

He suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Her emerald green eyes were fixed on the darkness ahead, and she blocked Xie Hong's path as he tried to continue.

"Who goes there? Get your ass out here!"

He already had a fiery temper, and now that he had been defeated by the indigenous people, he was just looking for someone to vent his anger on.

in the dark.

One after another, figures slowly and silently emerged from the dense insect forest.

Those were government soldiers.

Dressed in black armor and wielding shields and spears, there were no fewer than several hundred people. They surrounded Xie Hong and his group in layers, with the shields stacked one on top of the other to form a metal wall in front of them.

"Miss Xie Hong, why are you still out so late?"

A tall man rode a black horse out from the separated ranks of soldiers.

The man carried a bronze hammer and was dressed in thick, bright red steel armor. The only part of his face that was visible was a wrinkled, aged face that looked to be almost seventy or eighty years old.

"Chen Zhen, it's you!"

Xie Hong's expression changed slightly.

This man was once the county magistrate of Donghai County during the Yan Dynasty. When the Three-Party Freemasonry Society liberated Donghai County, he joined Xie Lan and was appointed as the head of the Donghai County Garrison.

The others are nothing to fear, but this person's martial arts skills are extraordinary.

"Miss Xie Hong, please come with me."

"roll."

Xie Hong scolded:

"You're blocking my way in the middle of the night, do you want to start a war with the Hong family? Don't forget I'm an international student with a Gwangju visa. Are you trying to provoke an international conflict?"

Xie Hong felt a vague unease. She placed one hand behind her back and gave a signal, but before the wizards could cast their smoke spells, Chen Zhen moved first. He waved his hand…

Swish!

The shield bearers split up rapidly.

One by one, foreigners dressed in priestly robes were hiding behind the ranks, raising their gun barrels.

Bang bang bang! !

A dense barrage of silver bullets rained down on the area where Xie Hong and his group were located in an instant.

These bullets explode in mid-air, turning into sharp spikes as thick as cow hair. These bullets were developed by the church specifically for wizards and their creations. Once hit, the magical circulation within a wizard's body will be severed.

"Priest!!"

"How is this possible?!"

Xie Hong was deeply shocked.

She and Leo leaped upwards, dodging the bullets.

But the remaining apprentice werewolves were not so lucky.

Under the attack of bullets, he had the power but could not use it.

quickly,

Spears came from all directions, riddling them with holes.

"Damn it, you take Su Mo and leave first!"

A thick, long, reddish-brown tentacle emerged from Xie Hong's severed arm; she swung it sharply.

Rumble!

A dozen or so shield bearers who couldn't dodge in time were flipped over by the tentacles and hurled at the priests, causing chaos in the otherwise orderly gunners and giving Xie Hong an opportunity to strike.

She opened her mouth and spat out...

Hurala!

Black ink poured down like a torrential rain, covering the entire area.

"Raise your shields!!"

Chen Zhen roared loudly, and the armored soldiers immediately crouched down and raised their shields, but the remaining priests were not so lucky; they were drenched in ink.

The juice was extremely viscous, and no matter how much they wiped it off, they couldn't get it off.

Taking advantage of this brief moment, Xie Hong and the others leaped into the dense forest.

Chen Zhen sighed inwardly.

This action by the other party undoubtedly confirmed the intelligence that had been sent.

"withdraw troops!!"

He regrouped his troops and did not continue the pursuit.

The priests surrounded in the center were quite dissatisfied, and the leading man questioned them rudely:

"Minister Chen, why not continue pursuing those evil devils?"

Why?

Chen Zhen twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Of course, it's because you're going to die."

He slammed the copper hammer down hard.

Bang! !

The leader and two or three priests around him were instantly turned into mincemeat.

Before the other priests could react, dozens of spears thrust forward, instantly following in the footsteps of the wizard apprentice.
