Assassin Seven, starting in Shennong Kingdom!

Hearing Qin Ming's words, Long Ming fell silent for a moment.

She was well aware of the drawbacks of the Blood Demon Technique, but she had reasons why she had to learn it.

"I don't know what reason you have to gain power in this way, but I still want to give you a piece of advice," Qin Ming said seriously, "There is no hope as long as you are alive."

Long Ming's expression flickered for a moment, then suddenly a murderous glint appeared in his eyes, even a faint crimson tinge, as he said emotionally, "What do you know!? Living? I'd rather die! Hmph! You know nothing... uh!?"

Qin Ming struck suddenly and with lightning speed, within arm's reach, there was no way he could miss.

A needle was inserted directly into Long Ming's neck, and Long Ming's body went limp and she fainted.

I placed it under a tree by the roadside and let it rest for about fifteen minutes.

They were not far from Xuanwu Kingdom. Qin Ming cooked a meal. With a means of transportation, he brought some cooking utensils, so he no longer needed to eat dry rations along the way.

After Long Ming woke up, he became much more well-behaved and ate without saying a word.

Qin Ming is very skilled.

The two did not bring up the previous topic again. While serving himself soup, Qin Ming said, "The human body is amazing, but also very fragile. Nothing can be accomplished overnight."

Seeing that Long Ming had no reaction, he took a sip of soup and continued, "When I was giving acupuncture to the people of Dali Kingdom, I discovered that their meridians are generally hidden deeper, making it extremely difficult to improve their skills. However, their strength is indeed great. Everything has its advantages and disadvantages."

“I am an assassin from the Shadow Assassins organization, ranked 51st,” Long Ming suddenly said.

"Only 51?"

Long Ming suddenly looked up, her eyes fixed on him as if she were about to spit fire.

Scratching his face, Qin Ming coughed and said, "By the way, do you have any powerful techniques? Or other martial arts? Your two moves aren't really suitable for me."

"I don't have it. I've already given you the Blood Demon Technique."

"Tsk..."

Blood Demon Technique? Even a dog wouldn't practice that!

Long Ming looked at Qin Ming with an expression that seemed to want to bite him to death. After a moment, he said, "But I know where you can find the martial arts you want."

"where?"

"Xuanwu Kingdom, Duobao Pavilion."

"What is that place?"

"That place is where all the treasures of the Xuanwu Kingdom are collected. As long as you have money, you can buy anything."

"Can it do anything?"

Qin Ming was a little surprised.

Long Ming revealed a strange smile, "That's right, you can buy anything."

……

Xuanwu Kingdom, Duobao Pavilion.

After arriving in Xuanwu Kingdom, Long Ming returned to the assassin organization, and Qin Ming eventually arrived here.

"Hey, young man, you don't look like one of us from Xuanwu Kingdom. Is this your first time here?"

"Ah."

"Would you like me to introduce you to the best martial arts manuals we have here? Come on, take a look! Our Meteor Sect's Pegasus Meteor Hammer is so cool!"

"Bullshit! Our Sirius Sect is the strongest!"

"We, the Poison Dragon Sect, are the true ones!"

"You want to fight?!"

"Who's afraid of who?! Come out and have a go!"

Qin Ming, "..."

Seeing several groups of people start fighting without warning, one can feel the enthusiasm of "Dance Kingdom".

They began to examine the martial arts manuals section within the Treasure Pavilion.

As he walked along, a look of craving frequently crossed his eyes: Dragon Claw Hand, Vajra Palm, Wind God Leg, Tai Chi Golden Bell Cover, Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission, Dual Sword Style...

These are all great products, but unfortunately, the prices are also quite high...

These are all top-notch martial arts techniques, and some of them can even be considered unique martial arts techniques of certain schools. However, it is possible that the schools have long since disappeared, which is why they have been passed down.

It's perfectly normal for one or two sects to disappear from Xuanwu Kingdom occasionally; even the six major sects could be replaced at any time.

Helpless, Qin Ming could only focus on ordinary martial arts.

Three-hit combo, meteor shower, iron mountain lean...

He twitched his lips. This was even worse than the two skills Long Ming had taught him. Oh well, he'd come all this way for nothing.

Huh?

Suddenly, Qin Ming noticed a secret manual lying in the corner, covered in dust. He picked it up casually, opened it, and his eyes became somewhat strange.

"The Indestructible Body of a Vajra Child"!

Most of the other manuals listed here are just introductions, empty shells. The original manuals aren't here; you can only get them after you confirm your purchase and pay.

But this indestructible body of a child was simply placed here.

It's a complete manual, containing levels one through nine.

Why isn't there a tenth level?

Forget it, whatever. This thing is a unique top-tier martial art, let's take it.

"Tsk..." The counter staff at Duobaoge, who was in charge of checking out, was quite happy to see him come over, but when they saw the Vajra Indestructible Child Body in his hand, they simply waved their hands and said, "One copper coin."

Qin Ming, "??"

You could have just given it away for free, right?

The man placed ten copper coins in front of him. He was a young man. He glanced around, accepted the money without making a sound, and looked at Qin Ming.

"What do you want to ask?"

Qin Ming was somewhat surprised, but he still pointed to the manual in his hand and asked, "The tenth level of the Vajra Indestructible Body?"

I thought I would take it out after paying here, but to my surprise, the other party just shrugged and smiled helplessly, "No."

Pointing to the manual in his hand, he explained, "This thing is commonplace in our Xuanwu Kingdom. Let alone the tenth level, I've never heard of anyone being able to reach the sixth level. I heard there's a place called Shigen Kingdom where everyone practices this, but the highest they ever reach is the seventh level."

Where is the tenth level?

"I said no."

The other party was somewhat impatient, but since he had already received the money, he still frowned and said, "I've never heard of anyone cultivating the Vajra Indestructible Body to the later stages. Plus, it has a fatal flaw. Who would bother with this thing? The rumor that cultivating it to the tenth level makes one invincible is just something that some people who are hoping for the best believe."

"Anyway, I've been here for many years and I've never heard of this thing having a tenth level."

Qin Ming didn't ask any more questions, stopping there after making his point.

After leaving the Treasure Pavilion, Qin Ming found an inn to stay in and began to ponder the "Indestructible Vajra Body".

It wasn't that he wanted to practice, but rather that he couldn't find any other alternatives.

……

Not long after, inside the Treasure Pavilion.

"Ok?"

A red figure arrived at the place and suddenly noticed that the inconspicuous but always present Vajra Indestructible Child Body had disappeared.

Upon reaching the counter, he inquired, "Who bought that copy of 'Indestructible Body of a Vajra'?"

"Yes..." Raising his head to look at the person in front of him, the person behind the counter instantly turned pale and said tremblingly, "Yes, it was a young man. He doesn't seem to be from Xuanwu Kingdom, but perhaps he was curious, so he bought it."

"Young people? What kind?"

"Yes, black hair, delicate features, looks like a scholar, definitely not from our Xuanwu Kingdom."

The figure pondered for a moment, then turned and left.

The figure behind the counter let out a long sigh, raised a hand to wipe his forehead, and found it was soaked with sweat!

……

Inside the inn, a day passed.

Qin Ming opened his eyes, and silver needles trembled slightly all over his body.

He raised his hand to look at his palm, and a faint golden hue appeared on his body. He had easily entered the gate, and not just barely reached the first level of Vajra Indestructible.

It's the third level!

He only spent half an hour on the first level, and an hour on the second level.

In just one day, I stepped directly into the third level!

This indestructible body requires persistent physical training and has little to do with internal strength; it is purely a form of external martial arts!

Logically, it shouldn't be that fast, but he was proficient in medicine, and he had already tried to use external forces to break through his own limits in Dali Kingdom, so he had some experience.

While acupuncture cannot enhance strength, it can assist in cultivating the Vajra Indestructible Body!

The further you progress in this skill, the more the difficulty of mastering it increases exponentially, even geometrically!

But as long as you have a foundation, getting started is a breeze.

No wonder it's worthless in Xuanwu Kingdom. According to his calculations, it would take an average person seventy or eighty years to refine this thing to the ninth level!

That's not the key point. The key point is that it also means you have to be a virgin for life!

Before the tenth level, if the Vajra Indestructible Body is broken, all previous efforts will be wasted.

Decades of diligent practice, only to have it all wasted at the slightest provocation—anyone would go crazy in that situation, not to mention the vulnerability of the navel, making it utterly useless.

Qin Ming wouldn't have practiced this if he had no other choice.
