The First Sage of Military Strategists

Chapter 52 Counting Harvest
"The old master is dead!"

"The old master is dead!"

...

As soon as the man in black left, the guards in the courtyard started shouting loudly.

In an instant, a major earthquake swept through the entire Luo family compound.

...

At this moment, Han Qing and his group were still squatting at the intersection outside the Chen family's old house, and judging from their posture, they were going to stay there all night.

"hiss!"

Han Qing glanced around and saw Li Tai clutching his arm, where there was a severe knife wound, with blood gushing out like a fountain.

Li Tai seemed to have brought no wound medicine. He was holding a piece of cloth in one hand, covering the wound, trying to stop the bleeding with the cloth, but the effect was obviously very poor.

Seeing this, Mu Dachun stood up and said, "Brother Li, I'll go buy you some medicine!"

“No need. At this hour, with the city in such a state of chaos, even if some pharmacies were open, they would have closed long ago,” Li Tai said.

“But your injury is very serious. The blood keeps flowing. Will you die?” Mu Dahong was very worried. When he was living in poverty in Baiyun County, it was Li Tai who helped him. He always remembered that.

Li Tai had always been a very kind-hearted person, and he had always had a good reputation in the city.

Upon seeing this, Han Qing got up and went to Li Tai.

clap clap clap!
He tapped several key acupoints around the wound with his fingers, and quickly bandaged Li Tai. The effect was immediate; the bleeding from the wound stopped and ceased.

Li Tai's eyes lit up, and he felt the pain in his arm lessen somewhat.

"Brother Han, thank you so much. I didn't expect you to be so skilled in martial arts and medicine at such a young age. I will remember this kindness. I will definitely treat you to a drink after this turmoil is over!"

"It was nothing, not worth mentioning," Han Qing said.

Li Tai is skilled and upright. Without harming his own interests, performing a simple bandage and forming a good relationship is a good thing.

After doing all this, he sat down again on a large rock by the roadside, patiently waiting for Yang Wu's orders.

The shouts of battle gradually subsided, and by daybreak, the sounds of fighting had completely ceased.

Han Qing's mind was completely relaxed, and he finally had time to take stock of his spoils.

"Over a hundred taels of silver, eleven bottles of various medicines, and a set of top-grade throwing knives."

A quarter of an hour later, Han Qing finished counting. Putting aside the set of throwing knives, the pills and silver alone were worth two or three hundred taels.

As for the throwing knife, its material is also extraordinary.

There were thirteen in total. He took one out, flicked it with his finger, and it vibrated with a buzzing sound. It seemed indestructible, and the blade was bluish-green, as if it contained a deadly poison.

"This throwing knife comes from the Yin-Yang Scholar, so its value must be quite extraordinary," Han Qingxin thought.

Although he had never forged weapons, he could still distinguish between those that were too good or too bad.

"However, the biggest gain is the martial arts skills of the Yin-Yang Scholar." Han Qing put away the throwing knife and silver, and the Seven Killings Stele appeared in his mind.

"absorb!"

He whispered something, and the point of light shattered instantly, transforming into a beam of light that merged with Han Qing's soul.

In an instant, a series of images flashed through his mind.

"I failed! I failed three times! I hate it! Heaven is so unfair!"

...

"Song Shiqiu, from this day forward, you are a member of my Yin-Yang Sect. If you perform exceptionally well, the Grand Master of Fate will bestow upon you the power to open the gates of Yin-Yang. If you possess extraordinary talent, becoming a saint or an immortal is not impossible!"

...

"If we can't get into the capital through the exams, then we'll fight our way in!"

...

"Excellent! I'll enjoy this batch of young men and women first, then send them to the Luo family! Such pure Yin and Yang energy..."

"Whoever finds this jade pendant will be bestowed with the supreme secret technique of Yin-Yang Dao, the Yin-Yang Incantation Seal! This is the number one Yin-Yang Dao technique in the world. If mastered to perfection, it can drain the life force of tens of thousands of people in the blink of an eye..."

At this point, the image shattered.

Han Qing rubbed his temples, thinking to himself, "This Yin-Yang Scholar's experiences are quite peculiar. However, the Luo family doesn't seem to be very clean. I've already seen information about the Luo family buying young boys and girls in many people's memories. I wonder what the Luo family needs so many people for."

"The Yin-Yang Incantation Seal? I wonder if I'll ever have the chance to obtain this supreme technique!" Han Qing thought to himself.

While the visualization diagrams of other schools cannot be viewed, spells can be learned; the former is the Tao, and the latter is the technique.

One should not haphazardly learn the principles, but one can learn the techniques.

For example, if someone opens the gate of military strategy, they can only use military visualization diagrams to strengthen their spiritual power. If they use visualization diagrams from other schools, they will immediately go astray and become possessed by demons.

However, he can learn spells from other schools, though the effects will be slightly less, but there will be no risk.

Please select two martial arts skills to inherit their proficiency levels.

1. Burning Yang Skill (100% Perfection)

The Three Flows and Three Realms Method, passed down in the Yin-Yang Sect, can condense and burn Yang energy. When the palm strikes, it is like molten lava and raging fire. Those hit will feel as if their tendons and bones are being burned by the raging fire, and will suffer unbearable pain.

2. Seeking Pleasure with Shadow Darts (Small Success Rate 69.2%)

The secret martial arts of the Yin-Yang Sect of the Great Yu Dynasty require the use of silver needle throwing knives. When thrown, they are like a torrential downpour. When mastered, they can pierce gold and split stone, and their power is considerable.

3. Yellow Springs Technique (Mastery 53.2%)

This is a top-tier secret technique passed down in Tianlang Fortress, the sacred martial arts site of Mangting. Practicing it can perfect the four realms of body cultivation and condense the Yellow Spring Force, which is like the Yin Sha of the Nine Netherworlds. Those who are struck by this palm will feel as if they have been poisoned, and their bodies will show signs of death, resulting in a gruesome death.

4. Mandarin Duck Spirit Refining Method (100% Perfection)

This is a Yin-Yang Daoist method for cultivating the spirit, which involves absorbing Yin to replenish Yang and absorbing Yang to replenish Yin. Practicing it can help one concentrate the mind and gather the soul, opening the door to the Yin-Yang Dao, but it carries the risk of going astray and becoming possessed by demons.

The first chapter of the Five Joyful Union Spirit Refining Method (100% complete)

This is a Yin-Yang Dao Refining Spirit Method, which can only be practiced after the Mandarin Duck Refining Spirit Method has been perfected. This is the first chapter, which can lead to the perfection of the Hundred Meridians Realm.

The second chapter of the Six Harmony Refining Spirit Method (Minor Success 63.2%)

This is the second chapter of the Yin-Yang Dao Refining Spirit Method, which requires the completion of the Mandarin Duck Refining Spirit Method before it can be practiced. It can lead to the completion of the Condensing Qi Realm.

...

In an instant, no fewer than fifteen martial arts techniques, plus twelve skills, appeared before Han Qing, as if a power shop had been opened. The dazzling array of options made his heart flutter with excitement.

"From this perspective, this Yin-Yang Scholar is at the fourth stage of the Dao of Body, specifically the Yin-Yang Dao Condensation Realm."

"The Mandarin Duck Spirit Refining Method is an introductory visualization diagram for the Yin-Yang Dao, which can enable martial artists to enter the Spirit Temple Realm of the Yin-Yang Dao! If you want to go further and reach a higher realm, you need the Joyful Union Spirit Refining Method!"

"The Yellow Springs Technique, the Joyful Union Shadow Dart, the Burning Sun Technique, and the second chapter of the Joyful Union Spirit Refining Method—these four techniques are what I really want."

"However, my current cultivation level is too low to inherit the Yellow Springs Technique, so I have to give it up!"

"The Hehuan Flowing Shadow Dart is also good, but my most important task right now is to improve my cultivation level in order to prepare for the upcoming bodyguard assessment."

After a brief moment's thought, Han Qing quickly made a decision.

"Inheritance, the second chapter of the Joyous Union Spirit Refining Technique!"

"Proficiency conversion, target cessation of war!"

On the panel, the second chapter of the Zhige Jing has been entered, but the proficiency level is 0, and Han Qing has not yet had time to learn it.

At this moment, the proficiency gained from the second chapter of the Hehuan Refining Spirit Method began to be continuously transferred to the Zhige Jing.

On the panel, Han Qing's proficiency in the second chapter of the Zhige Jing was rapidly increasing, and a lot of information also appeared in his mind.

In the temple, before the statue of the deity, a second incense stick appeared and began to slowly grow, while the power of the incense also increased.

"This feeling of becoming stronger is truly captivating. Hundred Meridians Realm, here I come!" Han Qingxin said.
