Assassin Seven, starting in Shennong Kingdom!

Hearing Qingfeng's answer, Qin Ming nodded inwardly, then turned and walked to another bookshelf. "According to what I've heard, the master of Plum Blossom Manor is arrogant. If he knew you had learned my martial arts, even if I didn't care, he probably wouldn't teach you anymore. Think about it."

"I……"

That sword technique held special significance. The Qingyun Kingdom was gone, and this sword technique was his remembrance and hope.

It is not just a superior sword technique.

Qin Ming didn't rush him, letting him think it over. Actually, his words were a test.

The owner of Plum Blossom Manor is arrogant, but not unreasonable.

Qingfeng is the prince of Qingyun Kingdom. Even if he is a disciple of him, there is no reason for Plum Blossom Manor Master not to teach him this sword technique. It's just that he probably won't give him any pointers. These are minor matters.

In terms of swordsmanship, he is not necessarily weaker than the number one swordsman in Xuanwu Kingdom!

"Please teach me martial arts, Master."

Qingfeng quickly grasped the key point, and her gaze hardened.

Qin Ming smiled. "Alright, pick a sword technique you like here, or any other martial arts. They all have my notes on them. Practice first, and come find me if you don't understand anything. Oh, by the way..."

As Qin Ming was leaving, he turned to Qing Feng and asked, "What kind of internal energy do you practice?"

"I possess the 'Qingyun Manual' from the Qingyun Kingdom."

It is a superior martial art, but not the pinnacle.

The quality of one's internal energy determines the upper limit a martial artist can reach, which is quite important. He can learn whatever he wants without any problem, and he can switch his internal energy at will, which others cannot do.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Ming took a cultivation manual from the bookshelf and handed it to him, saying, "Practice this in the future. It will make your cultivation faster and improve your aptitude. Once you have mastered it, you can practice the Azure Cloud Technique again without any problem. It will be easier."

It is the Yi Jin Jing.

For martial artists, this thing is like an "auxiliary cheat" to enhance their skills.

Not only can it rapidly improve one's skill level, but the resulting internal energy is also profound, and it can also indirectly enhance the resilience of one's meridians.

Furthermore, the skill cultivated is highly compatible, allowing one to switch to other martial arts without any problems.

Even with his guidance, Long Ming is still not him. The foundation laid by this technique is indispensable for his achievements in just a few years.

After giving instructions to Qingfeng, Qin Ming turned and left.

Long Ming followed, "Is that the master's newly accepted disciple?"

Nodding, Qin Ming then asked, "Has that matter been investigated?"

Long Ming's expression turned serious, and he nodded, saying, "The Shadow Organization has close ties with the Kingdom of Ster, and the Assassin Organization has reduced its missions and operations against the Kingdom of Ster in recent years. Also, regarding the Hidden Dragon Kingdom..."

……

Inside a technology building in the country of Ster.

An elderly man with white hair and beard sat on the throne, looked at Bai Qi in front of him, and sighed.

"Baiqi, your intellect and talent have made outstanding contributions to the Kingdom of Ster. Thank you for your hard work."

Bai Qi bowed respectfully and said in a deep voice, "It is my duty, Your Majesty. You are too kind."

Compared to a few years ago, Bai Qi is more composed, his hair is longer, and he appears calm and collected.

"..."

After a moment of silence, the King of Ster suddenly said, "Baiqi, I hope you can postpone the research on the energy stones..."

"!?"

Bai Qi's expression changed slightly; he hadn't lost his composure like this in a long time. "This...Your Majesty?"

But the King of St. didn't give him a chance to ask, waving his hand away.

After Bai Qi left, King Ster sighed deeply.

They then arrived at a secret research institute, where robots and guards were everywhere, and the two guards standing in front of the last door were emanating a terrifying aura.

If Bai Qi were here, he would have noticed the fluctuations of the red energy stone...

"Identification complete!"

A technologically advanced gate opened, leading to a passageway, at the end of which appeared another large gate.

The gate prominently displays the unique symbol of the Kingdom of Ster.

……

Not long after, in the Xuanwu Kingdom.

The news of the theft of the Dan Pavilion, where a priceless treasure was stolen, quickly spread throughout the entire Xuanwu Kingdom.

The news caused a great stir, and various rumors spread like wildfire. Countless martial artists throughout the Xuanwu Kingdom were mobilized to inquire about the matter.

Inside the Longmen Inn.

"I heard that the Pill Pavilion Master was able to rise so quickly and establish the Pill Pavilion because of this treasure. Do you know what it is...?"

A group of people gathered together, and at least dozens of ears twitched around them.

After a moment, seeing that the young man who had spoken looked like he wanted to punch someone but refused to say a word, someone couldn't hold back any longer and slammed their hand on the table, "Hmph! Li Tong, stop playing coy! If you don't tell me, believe me, I'll...!"

Crackling sound...

Those around them were also getting impatient and gave warning looks.

"Hey, hey, hey! Gentlemen, I was wrong." The young man was also pragmatic and immediately begged for forgiveness. "It's a supreme treasure from the Divine Forging Kingdom, called the Illusionary Blade Heavenly Demon! It's said to be a divine artifact, and whoever obtains it can use it to forge unparalleled martial arts!"

"fart!"

"Humph!"

There weren't many idiots present, and someone immediately realized, "If peerless martial arts could be so easily mastered, wouldn't the Pill Pavilion have already dominated the Xuanwu Kingdom? Do you think we're idiots? I think you're asking for trouble! Making fun of us."

"It's true! It's really true!"

Seeing someone approaching menacingly, Li Tong was quite frightened. He quickly explained, feigning quick thinking, "No, otherwise, how could that young master of the Pill Pavilion have mastered such a divine skill? If you don't believe me, fine! Humph, I'll just leave..."

Before the crowd could react, he made a quick getaway.

When everyone realized what was happening, instead of going to find him, they scattered in all directions, and the entire Xuanwu Kingdom was thrown into chaos.

The Xuanwu Kingdom was founded on military might, and this was not just a saying.

Similar to the Kingdom of Ster's tolerance for "geniuses," anyone who can contribute to the technological advancement of the Kingdom of Ster can join and obtain a very high status.

The same applies to Xuanwu Kingdom. As long as one has martial arts talent, whether one joins a sect or makes a name for oneself, one can be considered a citizen of Xuanwu Kingdom.

It is not necessary to be born in Xuanwu Kingdom or Ster Kingdom to qualify.

For the people of Xuanwu Kingdom, nothing can compare to improving their martial arts level.

Their martial spirit can be described as extremely fierce!

Therefore, a "treasure" that can enhance martial arts skills is of immense value.

……

The headquarters of the Shadow Organization.

"Chief, this is probably a smokescreen. Qin Ming may have other motives. We must be on guard."

"Qinglong said in a deep voice."

Consort Xi sat on her throne, one hand propping up her cheek. "It is indeed too obvious, but... what do you think his purpose is?"

Qinglong pondered for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "...Could it be the Heavenly Rakshasa?!"

"I'm afraid it's not just that... ha."

Fei Xi chuckled lightly, her tone calm, "If it were just a piece of information, how could it have deceived the Heavenly Rakshasa, and how could it have lured me into action so he could reap the benefits? It was truly a brilliant move. Although I had suspected it, I never expected it to actually be in his hands..."

"Dispatch all assassins and search for the whereabouts of that Illusion Blade Demon!"

"Yes!"
