Daily News: You promised yourself to be a fisherman, but you've become a martial arts god?

Inside the back hall.

Liu Qinyun sat behind the rosewood table, and a woman stood in front of her.

From the angle of the back hall entrance, Li Nian could clearly see the woman's face.

The woman had a tall and slender figure, and her smart outfit exuded a heroic spirit.

Her long hair was half-tied down over her shoulders, she had sharp eyebrows and bright, clear eyes, and a striking and dashing appearance.

His skin was radiant, and his brows carried a dignified and upright air.

She possesses a calm and composed demeanor, combining the charm of a young girl with the steadfast presence of a senior woman.

Five words —

So cool and beautiful!

Liu Qinyun noticed Li Nian at the door and swept her cold phoenix eyes over.

"Li Nian, you've arrived. This is your senior sister, Qin Geyue."

"Greetings, Master."

"Greetings, Senior Sister."

Li Nian hurriedly went inside and greeted Liu Qinyun and Qin Geyue with clasped hands.

Qin Geyue looked at him and nodded slightly.

"You are the sixth junior brother, Li Nian."

"It is I."

Li Nian was neither humble nor arrogant.

Qin Geyue sized him up.

"My master told me that you have extraordinary comprehension. Despite having ordinary aptitude, you opened the Blood Gate one day earlier than me, which is truly rare."

"Um?"

"Rich and robust blood and qi..."

"Junior brother, you actually broke through the Jiaji point!"

Suddenly, Qin Geyue's beautiful face trembled, her eyes filled with shock.

Wow, that's fast for a guy!

"Spine!"

Liu Qinyun frowned, his serious gaze fixed on Li Nian's body.

She had warned Li Nian not to rush to improve her cultivation, but only two days later, she broke through again.

This made her very unhappy.

A moment later, Liu Qinyun suddenly noticed something, and his brows furrowed again.

Then it loosened.

The reproach in her beautiful eyes turned into shock.

She sensed that Li Nian's blood and qi were rich and pure, even more so than the blood and qi of someone breaking through the Jiaji Pass.

"Li Nian, you ate all six Blood Essence Pills I gave you?"

Liu Qinyun inquired.

She didn't blame Li Nian for consuming all the Blood Essence Pills. The reason she gave Li Nian these pills was to enhance his blood energy, giving him an extra layer of security while in office.

"Six Blood Essence Pills!"

A knowing glint flashed in Qin Geyue's beautiful eyes.

The Blood Essence Pill is a pill made by a second-tier magical beast that can enhance a martial artist's blood and energy.

If one were to consume six of them, it would be entirely reasonable to break through the Jiaji Pass in a short period of time.

but.

Taking six Blood Essence Pills only slightly improves one's blood energy compared to an ordinary martial artist breaking through the Jiaji Pass; it's truly a waste of resources.

"Master, I only took one pill."

Li Nian answered truthfully.

After saying that, he took out the porcelain bottle from his bosom and showed it the remaining five Blood Essence Pills.

Upon seeing the five Blood Essence Pills, Liu Qinyun and Qin Geyue's eyes widened instantly.

"One Blood Essence Pill was all it took to break through the Spine Barrier!"

"Junior brother, you've only been at the Blood Gate for a few days!"

Qin Geyue gasped in shock.

After she opened the Blood Gate, Liu Qinyun gave her the Blood Pill, which only allowed her to barely break through the Tailbone Gate.

The Jiaji Pass is the second stage of blood cultivation, requiring several times the amount of blood and energy needed to break through the coccyx.

She knew that Li Nian had broken through the coccyx with her meager Qi and blood thanks to her extraordinary comprehension. But now, Li Nian's Qi and blood were genuinely cultivated through the Jiaji meridian, and were even more abundant than when she first entered the Jiaji meridian.

more importantly.

Li Nian had only been at the tailbone level for two days, and had barely accumulated any blood energy, relying entirely on a single Blood Essence Pill.

Both of them used the Blood Essence Pill, but she could only break through the coccyx, while Li Nian could break through the more difficult spine.

This was the first time she had ever seen anything like it!

Composing herself, Qin Geyue walked up to Li Nian.

"Junior brother, may I take a look at the pills?"

"Please, senior sister."

Qin Geyue took the pill and glanced at it, her gaze darkening.

The energy and blood contained in the elixir were of the same level as the one she had taken before, and there was no difference in their quality.

"My Qinyun Martial Arts School has acquired a cultivation genius, hahahaha—"

Just then, Liu Qinyun suddenly realized what was happening, stood up, spread his arms, and burst into laughter.

He laughed maniacally, his overflowing inner strength causing his clothes to flutter and his abundant fruit to sway, but he paid no attention to it.

After a short while, Liu Qinyun stopped laughing and put his hands behind his back.

"Ge Yue, your junior brother Li possesses top-tier martial arts comprehension."

"The reason he was able to break through from the coccyx to the spine with just one Blood Essence Pill, and achieve such a significant increase in blood energy, is all thanks to his comprehension!"

"Comprehension?"

Qin Geyue's beautiful eyes were filled with confusion.

As Liu Qinyun slowly walked towards Li Nian, she explained:

"People with high comprehension are much less constrained than ordinary people when it comes to breaking through the barriers to higher realms."

"When an ordinary person takes Qi and Blood Tonifying Pills to break through the Five Barriers, the thicker the barriers, the more medicinal power will be consumed."

"Li Nian possesses top-tier comprehension, so the medicinal effects won't be wasted on the restraints, allowing the medicine to exert its full potential!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Geyue suddenly realized what was going on.

As the most perceptive among the Four Talents of Qianhu, she believed that her comprehension was already quite good, but compared to Li Nian, it seemed insignificant.

Moreover.

Physical constitution also affects the limitations of a martial artist's realm. Li Nian's physical constitution is average, but hers is the best among the Four Heroes of the Thousand Lakes.

Her natural talent and comprehension combined are still not as good as Li Nian's comprehension!

"Not bad, kid!"

Liu Qinyun walked to Li Nian's side, patted Li Nian's shoulder with her hand, and looked satisfied.

"Master, you flatter me."

Li Nian humbly cupped her hands in greeting.

He wasn't exceptionally gifted in comprehension, but rather possessed the ability to "deduce," which had already elevated his cultivation to the peak of Bone Refinement. Before reaching the peak of Bone Refinement, there were no limitations.

This will naturally allow the Blood Essence Pill to exert more of its medicinal effects and enhance Qi and blood!

Liu Qinyun nodded in satisfaction and advised:

"Li Nian, you did not rashly consume more Qi Blood Pills to hastily improve your cultivation, which is commendable."

"The most important thing is to consolidate your current cultivation level and adapt to your current strength."

"Keep up the good work!"

Li Nian clasped her hands in greeting.

"Thank you for your guidance, Master!"

Liu Qinyun nodded.

Then, he said to Qin Geyue:

"Ge Yue, the Azure Blood Pill that I refined for you that day was made from the Azure Water Fish that your junior brother Li caught for you."

"Without this fish, you wouldn't have been able to leave the pass so quickly."

Upon hearing this, Qin Geyue was taken aback.

Unexpectedly, the fish in the clear water was caught by Li Nian.

Immediately, he cupped his hands to Li Nian and solemnly said:

"Thank you, Junior Brother Li!"

On the day she was ambushed and seriously injured by Su Jingheng, Liu Qinyun used the Azure Blood Pill refined from the Azure Water Fish to not only repair her injuries but also allow her cultivation to progress.

Now, she has reached the peak of the Tendon Refining stage, and has stepped into the Dark Force stage with one foot.

There are only a few Jade Blood Pills left; perhaps with them I can break through to the Dark Force realm in one fell swoop.

At that time, I'll definitely teach Su Jingheng a lesson!

"Senior sister, you don't need to be so polite."

"I was lucky to catch this fish in the clear water. Without it, I wouldn't have been able to enter the martial arts school, receive guidance from my master, or open the Blood Gate."

Li Nian looked completely honest.

After a few brief and polite exchanges, Liu Qinyun asked Li Nian:

"You've been to the Yi family's house?"

"Reporting to Master, this disciple has just departed."

"Since you've been there, they should have told you about your appointment. Just focus on your cultivation and wait to take up your post."

"During your term of office, do not neglect your spiritual practice."

"Come back to me when your Qi and blood are fully developed."

"Disciple understands!"

Li Nian left the back room.

Qin Geyue watched Li Nian's retreating figure, her eyes filled with a hidden darkness.

"Humble and sincere, highly perceptive... handsome... and smells like meat sesame cakes."

"No wonder Qingwei said that Junior Brother Li and Jiyun look alike."

"Mother's doting affection for Junior Brother Li must stem from placing her hopes for her younger brother upon him..."
