Assassin Seven, starting in Shennong Kingdom!

Xuanwu Kingdom, Imperial City.

Qin Ming arrived here with Qilin. He made no attempt to conceal himself, while Qilin tried to cover himself up completely, even wearing a black robe.

Unfortunately, although he is not currently wanted by the assassin organization, his betrayal of the Shadow Assassins is a fact.

The Shadow Organization is essentially subordinate to the royal family of Xuanwu Kingdom.

The Shadows are a large assassin organization.

Aside from taking on some private missions within the organization, the earnings are mostly in the form of money and goods, with little increase in reputation.

Only by assassinating high-ranking officials, important researchers, and scientists in the country of Ster can one maximize their status.

At the same time, the bounties for these people are also the highest...

It goes without saying where the money for these bounties comes from; it naturally comes from the high-ranking officials of the Xuanwu Kingdom.

Shadow assassins specialize in doing these kinds of things.

……

Now that Qilin has betrayed the Shadow Organization, even if he is not wanted, it is likely that the royal family will find it difficult to keep him alive.

The Shadow Organization has no concept of leaving.

In other words, there is no option to leave alive; being removed from the list is equivalent to being wanted!

Fight until death!

Beings that live in darkness cannot appear in the sunlight, as this is contrary to the interests of the Xuanwu Kingdom's royal family.

The two arrived at the palace, and no one knew how Qilin had managed to arrange a meeting between Qin Ming and the blind national advisor.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"Qilin, rumors circulated that you were dead, but I never imagined you would actually..."

The other person had his eyes closed and looked somewhat like the leader of the assassins.

Qin Ming was familiar with over 90% of the martial arts of the Xuanwu Kingdom, and had also obtained a lot of information from the Ster Kingdom, so he vaguely guessed that their posture actually indicated that they had practiced a powerful martial art.

A powerful martial art that allows one to perceive all things without the need for eyes, and which greatly benefits the cultivation of Qi.

Unfortunately, there are only some records of this martial art, and the specifics have not been passed down, so Qin Ming had no way of obtaining it.

"Hey."

The Qilin crossed its arms and said proudly, "How could I, the Qilin, die so easily? Who spread this rumor?"

"The Shadow Organization has not issued a warrant for your arrest, but they have removed you from their list of names. Based on this, it is reasonable to assume that you are doomed to die."

"Uh……"

Qilin was a little annoyed upon hearing this and didn't want to continue the conversation. He pointed to Qin Ming beside him and said, "He's looking for you. You two talk. I'm going to take a walk around."

After saying that, he vanished from the spot in a flash.

Qin Ming then started chatting with this blind national advisor, getting straight to the point and stating his purpose.

Upon learning that he actually wanted dragon blood, the other party frowned slightly. "What use do you have for dragon blood, sir?"

"Such a treasure is naturally used to enhance one's cultivation. If there are any conditions that I can fulfill, the Grand Preceptor can also make the request, and I will do my best to help."

The other person was holding a string of Buddhist prayer beads and fiddling with them.

After pondering for a moment, the blind national advisor finally spoke, “I have no requests, but something big may happen in Xuanwu Kingdom. If you are willing to lend a helping hand to Xuanwu Kingdom, perhaps I can introduce you to His Majesty in person.”

"Ok?"

Now it was Qin Ming's turn to frown. He didn't want to get involved in the conflict between Xuanwu Kingdom and Ster Kingdom.

Once he gets involved, he'll likely never be able to extricate himself from it.

The higher the status of the two countries, the higher the bounty they offer to each other!

It is also more dangerous.

After some hesitation, Qin Ming finally went to the palace.

"See Your Majesty."

Upon seeing His Majesty's face, Qin Ming's heart stirred slightly, and he paid his respects.

"Imperial Preceptor, who is this gentleman?"

"Your Majesty, this is the divine physician Qin Ming."

"Oh?" The emperor looked him over carefully and nodded. "Indeed, a handsome young man, and already a divine physician at such a young age, hehe..."

There wasn't much of a sense of taking it seriously in his words.

The Imperial Medical Hall of Xuanwu Kingdom can find several renowned doctors if needed. There are no incurable diseases here, and there is no shortage of renowned doctors.

"So, why has the divine physician come to see me?"

"Your Majesty, have you practiced the Nine Extremes Overlord Technique? Your eight extraordinary meridians are damaged, and there seems to be disorder in your meridians, indicating signs of qi deviation and demonic possession."

"Um!?"

The emperor frowned, and an aura of majesty emanated from his brows, carrying a faint but terrifying air of authority!

The blind national advisor beside him frowned slightly, but did not speak, only shook his head slightly.

He was one of the few people who knew about this.

Very few people in the entire Xuanwu Kingdom knew about this, and they were all in the imperial palace!

Qin Ming had only met him once, yet he had discerned so much, which surprised and puzzled the emperor.

After a moment, his expression softened slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his face. "How did the divine physician know that I practiced the Nine Extremes Overlord Technique? And this..."

"This is one of the two supreme martial arts passed down in the royal family. I have heard of it. In addition, Your Majesty's appearance shows signs of qi deviation. As for the injury... I have quite a bit of experience in meridian regulation."

Qin Ming couldn't very well say that he had mastered ninety percent of the martial arts techniques of the Xuanwu Kingdom.

No one would believe this if I told them.

However, he had heard of both of these techniques, and they were top-tier martial arts that he had only heard of but never seen.

In particular, the "Nine Extremes Overlord Technique" is considered heaven-defying, with effects almost identical to the Blood Demon Technique. Both are domineering techniques that can be mastered quickly, and the rumored cultivation methods are even somewhat "evil".

But you definitely can't say that out loud.

"Oh?" A glint of light flashed in the emperor's eyes as he looked at Qin Ming. "Does the divine physician have a way to heal my internal injuries?"

"I am 70% confident that I can cure it; the remaining 10% requires His Majesty's diagnosis to confirm."

Ok?

Now it was His Majesty the Emperor's turn to frown, and the blind imperial advisor was also somewhat surprised.

A 70% chance of success is an exaggeration. Several renowned physicians in Xuanwu Kingdom have already tried, and they could only help His Majesty the Emperor by regulating his condition and slowing down the deterioration.

Qin Ming's arrival already had a 70% chance of success?

Moreover, the remaining 30% is practically free; the diagnosis and treatment seem to be merely a matter of confirming the time needed for treatment...

This is too arrogant.

"If Your Majesty does not believe me, I can describe it verbally, or Your Majesty can have someone else administer the acupuncture according to my method."

Qin Ming realized that his words might arouse suspicion, and at the same time, he was a little anxious, so he had to change his words.

Sure enough, His Majesty the Emperor immediately ordered someone to summon the imperial physicians from the palace.

He was also a renowned doctor. Following Qin Ming's instructions, he inserted needles at the designated locations, sweating profusely throughout the process, because there were several acupoints that even these renowned doctors dared not touch.

The eight extraordinary meridians are extremely dangerous; the slightest mistake could lead to utter ruin. Even if they had a method, who would dare to insert needles into the emperor's body at will?

But Qin Ming dared.

The reason is simple: he was extremely confident even without making a diagnosis.

His eyes could directly see the eight extraordinary meridians and the trajectory of Qi within His Majesty's body!

He discovered that the other person's symptoms were almost identical to Bai Qi's!

The difference lies in the fact that His Majesty's skill has reached the pinnacle!

Even so, his eight extraordinary meridians were still sealed. He tried to force his way through with his own domineering internal force, but this resulted in damage to his meridians, causing him to suffer a qi deviation and become almost crippled!

Qin Ming could almost assert that, apart from him, no one in the entire Shennong Kingdom could cure this injury!

Even he was in serious trouble because his skills were insufficient.

So his statement of 70% certainty is actually just a condition.

Soon after, His Majesty the Emperor suddenly felt a reaction in his meridians, which had been causing him unbearable pain and even numbness for many years, and he was overjoyed.

He immediately ordered Qin Ming to treat him personally, promising him a great deal.

Qin Ming immediately followed up with his own conditions, "My skills are shallow, so I need to ask His Majesty for a portion of dragon blood."

"Oh?"

The emperor's eyes flickered slightly, as if he had guessed that Qin Ming had come for the dragon's blood.

He didn't pay any attention to it, but simply gestured for someone to take his token to the treasury to retrieve a portion of dragon blood and hand it over to Qin Ming.

Qin Ming then stayed temporarily in the palace, intending to improve his skills before helping the emperor heal his injuries.

After Qin Ming left, the emperor looked at the blind imperial advisor and asked, "Imperial advisor, is this man trustworthy?"

"Judging from his appearance, he is not a wicked person. Your Majesty can rest assured."

"That's good..."

"Furthermore..." The Eyeless Grand Preceptor hesitated for a moment before continuing, "I've heard that this Divine Physician Qin Ming cured the venom of the Thousand Snakes, and it seems he had a conflict with that Shadow Leader. It was only after the leader of the Heavenly Dragon Gang intervened that the Shadow Organization withdrew the warrant for his arrest..."

"Oh?"

The emperor was somewhat surprised. After thinking for a moment, his gaze suddenly shifted.

Just then, a figure walked in.

"See Your Majesty."

"Consort Xi, you..." The emperor seemed somewhat surprised, but then sighed and said, "Alas, what brings you here to see me?"

"The chaos of Xuanyuan has returned, and calamity is imminent... Xuanwu!"

"What!?"
