Chapter 319: Transforming Misfortune into Fortune
What really made Liu Fengji make up his mind was the sudden change that just happened.

The danger is at hand!
The way the guards contacted him was a family secret and no outsider could ever know it.

If this is a trap, it means the enemy has gained a means of communication. There are only two possibilities.

1. Someone in the imperial guards rebelled. 2. A sorcerer used secret techniques to forge the evidence.

Whichever possibility it is, it means that his whereabouts have been exposed, and the opportunity that his powerful family has won for him will soon become invalid.

At this time, if you encounter a life-saving straw, you must grab it as soon as possible.

Liu Fengji took a deep breath and waved his hand, "Xiao Xu, you step back first."

The servant boy looked at Zhou You with suspicion, then obediently left.

Zhou You knew that what the other party was going to say must be very secretive, and even his personal servant could not hear it.

"Let me introduce myself again. My full name is Liu Fengji, and my nickname is Jixiang'er."

Liu Fengji pointed at himself and said, "I was born with a vision. A strange man once predicted my fate and said that my destiny was extraordinary. He summarized it in eight words: turning misfortune into fortune and encountering difficulties into blessings."

"So, my full name and nickname are all taken from these eight characters."

"This is the version that outsiders can hear. What follows is my family's top secret, and only a handful of people know about it." Liu Fengji said, "The truth is, I was blessed by my ancestors and have a natural miracle."

His ancestor was the leader of the seventy-two ancient tribes. He was there when the gods came to the world and presented the Nine Cauldrons to him.

The wonder of the Nine Cauldrons is truly beyond the limits of imagination, and their popularity has lasted for thousands of years after just one glance.

Although countless years have passed, traces of the Nine Cauldrons are still passed down through the blood of these ancestors.

Liu Fengji is a lucky person who is one in a billion. He was discovered on the day he was born with a birthmark on his back, which was suspected to be incomplete Nine Cauldron characters.

"What? A birthmark can grow into the shape of words?"

Zhou You was truly enlightened. The characters on the Nine Cauldrons were so complex and detailed. How could they have grown naturally?

"It is incomplete, merely similar, and cannot even be considered a complete text."

Liu Fengji explained, "From my childhood to adulthood, my family has mobilized countless resources, hired masters of seal characters, studied the shape of the birthmark, and supplemented it with archaeological research, and finally completed this inscription."

"When I was sixteen and my body was in shape, I hired a tattoo artist to complete the missing parts. I was able to guess the words on this engraving."

Tattooist?
Zhou Yousheng became curious and interrupted the question, asking what kind of profession this was.
It turns out that tattoo artists are an extremely rare profession. They must have a deep foundation in seal script and a mastery of the human body in order to use their flesh and blood as a carrier to engrave words like gold and stone.

The tattoo artist invited by the Liu family successfully connected the birthmark on his body into the Nine Cauldron characters.

"awesome!"

Zhou You was delighted to hear this, it was truly a great move.

A noble family is a noble family. The resources they can mobilize are unimaginable for ordinary people.

He studied seal script behind closed doors with Master Zeng, and he never imagined that he would be able to convene a meeting of seal script experts from all over the world and spare no expense just to study a single character.

There are also tattoo artists who are proficient in seal characters and have control over the human body. When these two conditions are combined, they become an epic and rare species.

People like Master Zeng can be considered proficient in seal script, but Zhou You still lacks some skills.

To control the human body, well, at least it should be at the level of an intermediate martial artist like my cheap big brother Zhang Huaimin.

Any one of these conditions would be a goal that a normal person would find difficult to achieve in their lifetime, let alone having both?

Zhou You asked himself about his qualifications and found it difficult to meet the entry requirements for this profession.

"What is the use of this seal script?" Zhou You asked subconsciously.

"It can be said to be magical. As soon as I was born, the birthmark automatically showed mysterious power!"

"When I was six years old, my master family offended a master. With one palm strike, the master shook the blood of all the relatives in the family, and it lasted for three months."

"It was truly a catastrophe. The blood vessels were shaken, and the children were too weak to bear it. They died one after another. I was still young, and my blood was close to the main vein, so I suffered the greatest impact."

"I thought he was dead on the spot, but he only had a fever and recovered without any injuries."

"Because of that catastrophe, many of my peers were either killed or disabled, but I was the only one who was unscathed."

"It was because of this incident that my family discovered the strangeness of my body and the power of the birthmark representing words."

"The meaning of this word is... price!"

"I have an excellent talent for martial arts. I could walk at the age of one, and started learning boxing at the age of two. By the age of six, I had developed qi and blood, and broke through from the initial stage to the final stage."

"Conservatively speaking, he can become a martial artist before the age of ten."

Boom!
Zhou You slapped the stone he was sitting on, breaking it in half.

This is too much!

He hid his laughter and said, "This is wonderful. It makes my blood boil. Brother Liu has the potential to be a martial saint!"

The latter part of the qi and blood can hardly bear the shock of blood that has been separated for countless generations. What kind of monster is the master?

Also, Liu Fengji was already in the late stage of Qi and blood at the age of six. How come he hasn't made any progress at all over the years?
"After the serious illness, all my martial arts skills disappeared, and my skills regressed all the way to the entry-level strength stage."

"This change allowed the family to deduce that the power of the birthmark text was to gain the energy to survive the danger and turn danger into safety at the cost of a setback in realm."

"Since then, after continuous research, the characters on this Nine Cauldrons have been determined to be...transfer of fortune."

"Turning misfortune into fortune and turning disaster into blessing is essentially a reversal of luck, from bad to good"

"However, the price is also high and huge. I must make my boxing skills level decline in exchange. The greater the danger I face, the greater the degree of decline."

At this point, Liu Fengji sighed and asked, "Guess what my original realm was?"

Zhou You looked him up and down and realized that the latter part of Qi and blood was just his strength after he fell into a lower realm.

Not only was he awed in his heart, but in order to escape the witches' pursuit, he even had to sacrifice his strong men and personal guards. How much would it cost to be in such a dangerous situation?

"Before this battle, I was preparing for a breakthrough!"

Liu Fengji's casual words made Zhou You's eyes almost pop out.

The other party was only 5 or 6 years older than his real age, and he was about to break through to the strong martial arts level. He was no longer a genius. He fell all the way from the top martial artist, and finally couldn't even maintain the martial arts level. Now he only had blood and energy left.

The magical power of the Nine Cauldron characters made Zhou You even more curious.

"The next step is the key point."

Liu Fengji said seriously, "I am sure of the effect of the birthmark. I sacrificed so much of my cultivation to meet Brother Lu by chance. It is conceivable that you must be a noble person who can help me escape from this place!"

"What if not?" Zhou You asked back.

"If it weren't for that, Brother Lu wouldn't be able to escape and would inevitably die. I'm not afraid of leaking these family secrets when I tell you!"

Liu Fengji raised his eyebrows, making Zhou You feel that this guy deserved a beating!
