Chapter 212: Chapter 145: The Third Great Limit, Hematopoiesis and Transformation!_2

The elderly man with white hair sighed. His second disciple, Shen Changyuan, had been secretly killed by Ying Qi because he had obtained something left behind by He Lanchan through the Netherworld.

Ren You remained silent, not asking any more questions, even though he harbored great doubts deep inside. What kind of secret could be so profound that even a Grandmaster like his teacher and someone as close to becoming a Martial God as He Lanchan would be so tight-lipped about it?

"That kid’s third great limit is about to be broken. Tendon Barrier, Bone Barrier, both shattered. The most basic condition for establishing the Power Body has been achieved. The Cosmic Furnace Secret Manual from the Nanhuang Daoist School can push the Perfection of the Power Body to one hundred percent, but the problem is, I haven’t created my own Power Body. I learned it from somewhere else."

The elderly man with white hair rubbed his sparse eyebrows, asking in a distressed manner:

"Xiao Ren, with the vast number of Power Bodies available in the Martial Arts Association, how can we choose a suitable one for that kid?"

Ren You said in a deep voice:

"Mr. Qin is naturally talented and gifted. Let him follow his intuition. Just like Qi Wuxiang back then, when in doubt, he would consult his inner self. Whatever his inner self answered, he would do exactly that."

The elderly man with white hair pondered for a moment. Indeed, the Old Martial Sect had such a saying—the greater the talent, the more intuitive one is, knowing how to enhance and perfect oneself.

But he didn’t quite believe it, because he had been beaten up by Qi Wuxiang using such an excuse before.

"My inner self tells me you deserve a beating, to clear my thoughts... Sorry, but..."

The elderly man with white hair remembered clearly. Even now, when he thought of Qi Wuxiang’s damned look, he couldn’t resist clenching his fists.

Humph, among the first ten talents, there are hardly any successors.

In another hundred years, our Nanhuang Daoist School might well be the new Martial Arts Holy Land!

The elderly man with white hair comforted himself. No matter how powerful Qi Wuxiang was, he couldn’t defeat the sands of time.

By now, both of us are almost buried up to our necks in yellow soil.

After I die, at least the Cosmic Furnace Secret Manual can be passed down.

On the other hand, Qi Wuxiang’s Sun and Moon Celestial Netting Ten Thousand Gods Spell can only go to the grave with him.

In Yan City, Liao Yuan Plaza, Qin Renying gazed at the night outside the window, respectfully reporting to the main family of the Qin in Central City over the phone.

"Yes, it failed. Qin De, Zheng Que, and Jiang Zaiyue, whom you sent, all fell. Fortunately, no one was left alive, and the traces were cleaned up thoroughly."

Qin Renying was not surprised by this outcome. He had specifically investigated the poor student from Old Factory Street, who was no longer the same person. Chen Ruofu valued him highly, and he was also under the protection of the Nanhuang Daoist School. How could he be easily defeated?

Moreover, the Inspection Department was the local force, while the Nanhuang Daoist School was the dragon crossing the river.

This combination of a dragon and a snake, even the Ying Family in Central City could hardly stir up trouble.

"Chen Ruofu’s subsequent blows, the Qin Family in Yan City can withstand. At most, we will shrink our business scope and endure the humiliation temporarily. But the tribute to Central City this year might need to be reduced..."

Qin Renying portrayed his resilience and understanding of the larger picture.

On the other end of the phone, there was empathy, a few words of comfort, and then the call ended.

"There is always someone better. Even the Qin Family in Central City still bends to the Ying Family, doing their bidding."

Two streaks of white hair were visible at Qin Renying’s temples. He returned to his office, where, in the quiet room next door, the young man once called "Old Ancestor" was calmly cultivating. After waiting for several hours, he finally pushed the door open and came out.

"Let the Ying Family and the Nanhuang Daoist School fight. When I had you throw out He Lanchan’s Void Meditation Technique and send it to Chen Ruofu, it was exactly for this."

The young man still spoke with an old-fashioned tone. He said softly:

"He Lanchan was known as one of the top five monsters in Dongxia over the past thousand years, but he didn’t learn everything by himself. On the contrary, he had an incredible teacher. It was because of his teacher’s extraordinary background that He Lanchan later faced great calamity."

Qin Renying bent down and asked:

"Old Ancestor, what kind of unresolved issue nearly caused the fall of the prestigious Dual Jewels of the Ten Talents back in the Imperial Capital?"

The young man seemed to know many secrets and said in a deep voice:

"He Lanchan overestimated himself. He thought that after conquering the ancient path, inscribing on the borders, and receiving a personal audience with Marshal Qin would allow him to do things that ordinary people wouldn’t dare to imagine or do.

He actually wanted to overturn the case for his teacher. It was courting death."

Qin Renying’s eyes showed confusion—who was He Lanchan’s teacher?

The young man did not say any more, only ordered:

"Let them fight among themselves. The Qin Family in Central City has already been blinded by power and comfort. We will take a different path. How can the Ying Family’s promises compare to the blessings of the gods? If the various clans can form pacts with certain entities to become the eternal imperial family of Dongxia, why can’t the Qin Family?"

Qin Renying nodded, willing to obey the young man.

The Qin Family in Mang Village, Yan City’s rise to power, originated with his father, who reportedly found a mirror while working in the fields. Since then, they started raising livestock and became wealthy, his father even became the village chief of Mang Village, leading the village to prosperity.

And Qin Renying also relied on the deep-rooted reputation accumulated by his father to "inherit" the village chief’s position and founded the Yu Hai Group, involved in various industries, achieving a snowballing increase in wealth.

As for the young man, he was the ancient entity residing within that mirror.

He claimed to be the old ancestor of the Qin Family, originating from the great era of expansion in Heng Province.

"Brother, there are a lot of reporters outside, all wanting to interview you?"

In the single-patient room, Qin Shi lay on the hospital bed, while his youngest sibling Qin Lan peeled an orange for him. As for what he wanted to eat, his older sister Qin Xiao personally cooked and prepared hot meals.

Hearing about yet another interview, Qin Shi shook his head:

"The script has been explained by Secretary Huo. What is there to interview? No, I won’t see them."

He had cooperated with Old Chen from the Inspection Department’s propaganda efforts, becoming the protagonist of this successful Sword Sharpening Operation.

With his name well-known, it was easier to apply for more resource allocations. Dongxia boasts thirty-two administrative planets and, during the Great Expedition and Great Expansion phases, occupied numerous resource-rich planets.

The simplest way for the new generation of talents to gain resources is to stand out and gain official recognition and investment from various organizations.

Of course, signing with a big company is also a way, but compared to having a position and enjoying various benefits, it was still inferior.

"Brother, you have truly become famous this time! I used to see those prominent talents on the advertising screens in the Urban Circle. Will we see you there in the future?"

Qin Lan’s eyes sparkled with admiration.

"It’s possible. Old Chen said he would arrange a personal interview for the ’Star of Tomorrow’ to promote me, focusing on an inspirational persona, to gather some popularity."

Qin Shi ate the sweet and juicy Mi Xue oranges. He didn’t have a strong desire to be in the limelight or become a star.

Compared to false fame, he cared more about tangible benefits. The previous talent nurturing project had greatly benefited him.

The 150 million sponsorship passed by the Heng Province Martial Arts Association’s Education Fund also solved many issues.

He wondered what changes the Martial Arts New Star Plan led by the Martial Arts Association and the Education Commission would bring.

After sending away the chattering youngest sibling Qin Lan, Qin Shi sat up from his hospital bed. This room, though called a ward, was more like a rest and recuperation center for cadres.

Staff were on duty 24/7 to check his health and provide various services.

Qin Shi drank a bottle of mineral solution, and his flesh began to glow. This breakthrough made a significant impact.

He felt his bones vibrating and trembling as if impurities were being forged out of red-hot steel.

Next, wisps of heat seeped through the gaps in his bones, continuously stimulating his blood’s metabolism.

"The enhancement of hematopoietic function has made my hair grow rapidly... like a Saiyan transformation?"

For the past few days, Qin Shi had been consuming one-third bottle of mineral solution daily to ensure sufficient nutrition during this regenerative phase.

He operated the Cultivation Furnace, digesting the intense heat. His pitch-black hair, like sprouting twigs, instantly grew from short bangs to waist-length. Looking in the mirror, he resembled a person from ancient times.

"Entering this stage has increased my physical abilities several times. Speed, strength, all have enhanced accordingly. Unfortunately, there’s still a considerable gap before I can reach the level of Uncle Zhang, where his muscles are nearly perfect, as if they’ve condensed the ’Flower of Life’ to its fullest extent."

Qin Shi recalled the muscular figure of the elderly man with white hair. His taut muscles seemed to bloom like a flower with life force, forming a pattern full of strength and beauty.

He closed his eyes and activated the Monument Panel. Titles like [Working Warrior] and [Extra-Sensory Perception] had all been upgraded.

Besides the rewards given by the Four Pillars, the Monument itself also provided returns.

The most significant of these was the "Luck Badge" that shielded him from disasters just the right moment.
