Martial Arts: My Talent Has No Limits

Chapter 8 Illuminating the Dark

Upon hearing Wang Yue's words...

Qin Jiu resisted the urge to immediately rip off the black cloth.

Have the servants carry the iron cage onto the carriage.

Spirit beasts are rare, and even first-tier spirit beasts are not easy to find in Songshan territory, let alone second-tier or even third-tier ones. Moreover, according to that person from the Han family, the spirit beast in the iron cage is only half a step away from advancing to the level of a third-tier or higher spirit beast king.

Such a treasure is priceless.

Qin Jiu dared not be careless; if something unexpected happened, he would have nowhere to turn to cry.

Fortunately, it took about half an hour.

The convoy arrived home safely.

After having his servants carry the iron cage back to the east wing, Qin Jiu kept only Wang Yue behind and then dismissed everyone else.

"A third-tier spirit beast..."

Qin Jiu walked up to the cage, his eyes gleaming.

Not to mention the value of the spirit beast itself.

Its talent alone was enough to excite him; even a first-tier spirit beast could possess a purple-grade talent, let alone a third-tier one...

Suppressing his thoughts, he immediately raised his hand and lifted the black cloth covering the iron cage.

The creature inside was also revealed at the same time.

It was a creature that resembled a deer but was not a deer. It was pure white, with eyes that shimmered with a deep blue like ice crystals. It was about the size of a calf, and each of its four limbs was bound to an iron cage by a chain.

"What kind of spirit beast is this?"

Qin Jiu was surprised.

The Qin family is famous for breeding spirit beasts, but they have never seen such a spirit beast before.

Wang Yue pondered, "This is a Silver Frost Fox. Generally speaking, they are born in extremely cold places, but for some reason, it appeared in Songshan County more than ten years ago, which caused a great stir in the county."

"According to the Records of Ten Thousand Beasts of the Rare Beast Pavilion, if the Silver Frost Fox breaks through to the fourth rank, its eyes can bewitch the minds of martial artists."

"It makes those who see it lose their souls and become its puppets."

"Is it really that mysterious?"

Qin Jiu took a closer look at it.

Finally, they simply opened the iron cage.

Upon seeing this, Wang Yue's eyelids twitched, and he said, "Young Master, what are you going to do...?"

"Of course, the killing begins."

Qin Jiu didn't turn his head, then added, "Uncle Wang, go and get a knife, and also a container for the spirit beast's blood."

"Young Master, this beast is only half a step away from advancing to the next level. Are we just going to kill it like this?"

"Otherwise what?"

Qin Jiu shook his head and said, "Look at the Han family. They must have nurtured them with the intention of raising them for so many years. In the end, the Han family suffered a great change and became our beneficiary. If they had been more decisive back then, they might not be in this situation now."

"I don't want to follow in the footsteps of the Han family."

"That's true."

Wang Yue nodded, then quickly walked out of the courtyard.

Not long after.

He returned with a sharp knife and two round tripods made of white jade.

It also brought an unexpected piece of news.

"Young Master, someone just reported to me that the Qian family was attacked by demons last night. The head of the family, Qian Youcai, and his younger brother, Qian Jin, were both killed suddenly. The Qian family's guards also suffered heavy casualties."

"The Qian family?!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Jiu's pupils shrank sharply.

A chill ran up to the top of their head almost simultaneously.

This is yet another large family to be attacked by demons, following the Qin and Han families. In the entire Songshan County, there are only four powerful families, three of which have been attacked by demons recently.

"So, isn't it the Zhao family's turn next?"

This absurd thought suddenly occurred to him.

By now.

Qin Jiu has confirmed it.

This is definitely someone plotting something.

The inner city of Songshan is full of experts. Demons can appear in the outer city and even wreak havoc in the inner city, but they cannot target only the high-ranking members of the four major families.

"Uncle Wang, go again and have someone summon all the third-level martial arts masters who are out there back to the manor."

Qin Jiu's expression was solemn.

Whether it's a conspiracy or simply demonic chaos, the Qin family needs to gather its warriors together.

In order to prevent any potential disasters.

Wait for Wang Yue to finish his business and return.

Qin Jiu then asked him to help hold down the Silver Frost Fox.

"Young master, please let this old servant do it myself."

"We've never encountered a third-tier spirit beast before. What if this creature has some special abilities and might harm you..."

"I'll be careful."

As they spoke, Qin Jiu brought a white jade cauldron and placed it below the beast's neck, then raised his sharp knife and aimed it at the Silver Frost Fox's neck.

What he values ​​most is the illustrated guide.

At this point, we can't let Wang Yue take the lead.

"puff"

"Awooo!"

The sharp knife used to slaughter spirit beasts was forged a hundred times, and it easily pierced the neck of the Silver Frost Fox. The fox quickly stopped struggling, and a peculiar fragrance spread out at the same time.

"Is this the smell of its blood?"

Qin Jiu just had this thought.

The space of one's mind and spirit.

The red seal trembled violently.

Silver Frost Fox (Tier 3)

[Talent: Illumination (Gold)]

[Note: In the far north dwells a beast called Silverfrost, which moves as swiftly as the wind and is as clear as seeing fire.]

[Talent Status: Can be Imprinted]

[Engraving Requirements: Seven taels of Cold Jade Marrow]

"Withdrawal completed..."

Qin Jiu was taken aback, then overjoyed.

Although the abilities of this "Illumination" talent cannot be understood from the description, its gold grade speaks for itself.

However, the cold jade marrow required for the engraving is a problem.

He had never heard of this thing.

"A third-tier spirit beast, every part of it is a treasure."

At this time.

A smile appeared on Wang Yue's old face as he said, "The fur of the Silver Frost Fox can be used to sew magical artifacts, its blood can be drunk raw or used to refine pills, its gall can improve eyesight, and its bones can be dried, ground into powder, and used to refine the skin membrane to accelerate the progress of the first refinement."

"Of course, I still suggest that young master refine the spirit beast's blood into pills."

"Only in this way can the medicine be made to its fullest potential."

"The only downside is that it takes some time."

"But it's definitely worth the wait. After all, with your current martial arts talent, if you were to rebuild your foundation, your future martial arts potential would be immeasurable. That little girl from the Han family claims to be exceptionally gifted, but compared to you, young master, she's nothing more than a frog in a well gazing at the moon in the sky."

Upon hearing these words...

Qin Jiu coughed a few times, feeling incredibly embarrassed.

"The Han family previously said that this spirit beast can heal a severely injured martial artist. Uncle Wang, your internal organs have been damaged due to your practice of the brutal sword technique. If you drink this blood..."

"Absolutely not."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yue quickly shook his head: "Putting aside my old age, it makes no difference whether I treat it or not, and drinking the spirit beast's blood would be a waste."

"If this delays the young master's martial arts training."

"How can I face the former patriarch after my death? He treated me with boundless kindness..."

......

Inner city, Drunken Immortal Pavilion.

Top-floor suite.

With a ferocious expression, Qin Xiong smashed the mahogany octagonal table in front of him to pieces with a single palm strike.

"That little beast actually dared to hand over the Qin family so easily."

"Since he is so heartless..."

"Then don't blame me for being ruthless."

As he said this, he turned to look at the person beside him and quickly whispered a few words.

The latter nodded.

Then, a look of hesitation crossed his face, and he said, "What about the order that came from the manor earlier...?"

"go back."

Qin Xiong sneered, "How can I vent my anger and protect the vast foundation of my Qin family if I don't go back and see for myself?"
