The stage was already on, and even though no one was listening, Shen Ba had to continue speaking shamelessly.
"Um, Master Shen, I still have some matters to deal with in my family. I'm sorry. Can you take the first step?"
"That's right, me too. Master Shen, let's leave first. I'll treat you to a drink later."
"Wait for me for a while, everyone will be on my way..."
It was already embarrassing enough, but while we were talking, a group of people came up to say goodbye, which made Shen Ba's face turn green and red, and he was even more embarrassed than eating shit.
But what's even more embarrassing is that those people clearly said that there was something wrong with the family, but after leaving, they hurriedly went to the Young Master's Courtyard...
"Damn it, you are a bunch of short-sighted people. I will tell you sooner or later that the Shen family will be my Shen Ba's territory!"
...
The young master's courtyard is bustling with activity and bustling with people.
This kind of scene had never happened before, so Shen Qing was a little uncomfortable for a while. You know, this place was always deserted in the past. If anyone came, it was probably Shen Zhihu who came to look for trouble.
After working hard all afternoon, Shen Qing finally sent everyone away, and Shen Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master, the gifts these people sent are really amazing! The old slave calculated that the valuables are equivalent to more than 100,000 taels of gold, and there are thousands of pills!!"
Uncle Ma looked excited. It is no exaggeration to say that the value of these gifts is already more than the Shen family's two months' business profit!
Shen Qing smiled and nodded. The gifts were all sent to his personal name, so there was no need to include them in the treasury.
In other words, Shen Ba deliberately tried to cut off his resources and wanted to push him down from his position as the young sect leader, but in the end, it helped him consolidate his position. Taking advantage of the situation, the neighboring forces saw the signs and sent a huge amount of training resources. .
With these resources, coupled with the creation of the Dharma Body by the True Thunder, Shen Qing estimates that the Danhe Realm, which may have taken several months to hit, may arrive in more than a month!
"Uncle Ma, I plan to devote myself to cultivation for a period of time. Song Ziji needs you to interrogate it for me. If you find out who is behind the scenes, please inform me in time."
After completing the instructions, Shen Qing went directly to the back mountain. There was a quiet and graceful cliff near the Lei Pond, which was a good place for practicing.
This hard training lasted for seven days. Due to the combination of enough elixirs, the Dantian was filled with thunder and lightning twice during the process. Shen Qing transformed it and advanced to the ninth level.
"A total of three hundred and fifty Phaseless Pills, with an ordinary physique, would probably take at least half a month to refine, but it only took me seven days!"
The powerful efficiency brought by the true thunder in creating the body made Shen Qing extremely excited. Now he has no shortage of elixirs and can accumulate thunder breath every day. It seems that his previous estimate was correct. In more than a month, the Dan River Realm will be truly can come!
"It is said that the meridians of Ningxi Jindan River may be destroyed. I should go to the Fourth Grand Duke for advice. By the way, I should also see what progress there is at Ma Bo."
With this in mind, Shen Qing finally went down the mountain and went to the Fourth Grand Duke first.
The Seventh Grand Duke was on duty at Yuanji Pavilion today, so the Fourth Grand Duke was free. When we found him, he was fishing by the lake.
"Hey, Fourth Grand Duke, your skills are not that good either." Shen Qing glanced at the empty bamboo basket and said with a smile.
"Go, don't fart if you don't want to scare away the fish."
"Uh, so what, I have reached the ninth level of Condensation, and I would like to ask you if there is anything you need to pay attention to when entering the Dan River Realm?" Shen Qing explained the purpose of his visit.
Ninth level of breath concentration?
The Fourth Grand Duke was shocked. How many days had passed since the competition? It was only seven days, right? Even if Ba Jin Jiu had sufficient resources, it would still take at least a month. This kid...
Although it was a bit unbelievable, the fourth prince did not question it at all this time. Shen Qing was not used to the old man being so happy.
"Well... I should understand. Fourth Grandfather, please continue. I'll leave first."
"Wait!" The fourth prince suddenly stood up, hesitated for a moment and took out a book from his arms.
Shen Qing took it, "Yin Yang... Yin Yang Transformation Needle?!"
"Shhh! You're afraid that others won't know that I'm breaking the law, right?"
The yin and yang transformation needle is a unique skill of the Shen family. It requires a huge contribution to redeem it. This rule was personally decided by Shen Yuan. Looking at the entire family, only the fourth and seventh princes have fully learned it now. Even the status of Shen Ba, Not even learned it all!
Shen Qing frowned and said, "Grandpa, I have an idea. I want to open this elemental skill directly to the inside!"
"Are you crazy? Have you ever seen any force open up its core Yuan skills at will? That's competitiveness. Have you ever thought about how serious the consequences would be once it is leaked?" Fourth Grand Duke said in shock.
"Of course I have thought about it." Shen Qing seemed extremely determined: "But Taigong, I think that if a family wants to stay strong, the real approach should be to keep making progress. As the saying goes, break and then stand, and always treat the Yin-Yang Transformation Needle as a treasure. Hidden and tucked away, the upper limit of our Shen family will always be like this!"
"Besides, does the exchange system guarantee that Yuan skills will not be leaked? Among the younger generation, Song Ziji is the only one who has learned the Jade Style Sword Qi. But just this one person has become someone else's lackey?"
"but..."
"Grandpa, I understand that the rules set by my father must have their own reasons, but now that my father cannot come out, the family is declining day by day. If we continue to stick to the rules, it will be difficult for the situation to change significantly."
The Fourth Grand Duke was silent. He had to admit that although Shen Qing's words were not absolute, they did make some sense.
In the three years since Shen Yuan went into seclusion, the Shen family has gone from bad to worse, and the status that was originally equal to only the Zhao family has long since disappeared.
Now, the Xu family, the Qi family, the Wang family, and other families that were relatively second-rate in the past all have the capital to be proud of themselves in front of the Shen family. This is not only because of the lack of people at the helm, but also because the gap between the younger generation is getting bigger and the youths are not able to take over. Below, decadence is a foregone conclusion.
Although Shen Qing is very strong and has become a blockbuster when he shows off his talent, he still has a long way to go before he can realize his talent and reach the point where he can carry the burden alone like Shen Yuan. Therefore, reform may not be the right approach.
However, this approach is really too bold, because it may accelerate the loss of the family's competitiveness, and the possibility is extremely high!
"Well, if you want me to look at it, you should wait a little longer. As for you, just practice the yin-yang transformation needle first."
Shen Qing frowned, it seemed that the fourth prince was still quite opposed to his proposal.
After leaving the Fourth Grand Duke, Shen Qing remained silent as he made a decision.
To be honest, as a junior, drastic reform of the family requires not only courage, but also the courage to bear the crime!
Once you fail, your family's legacy will be destroyed, and you will be a sinner through the ages!
But he also felt that doing nothing would not make a mistake, but since he was Shen Yuan's son and his father was away, he had the obligation to carry this banner!
With this in mind, Shen Qing gritted his teeth and went directly to the family training ground.
The big bell rang nine times, and in a moment, the training ground was filled with people.
Shen Qing stepped onto the high platform and announced the matter.
The Fourth Grand Duke came after hearing the news. His old face was full of complexity. He really didn't know what to say. He could only look at Shen Qing on the stage, worried.
As for the audience, there was thunderous cheers.
"Haha, you little bastard, just go ahead and do it. Do it here and there, and maybe I won't have to worry about it. You'll have to torment yourself to death!"
Shen Ba smiled sinisterly, this matter was of no benefit to him, and he would be able to directly practice the Yin-Yang Transformation Needle in the future.
Secondly, this skill is open to the public and will be leaked over time. Then he can use it to make a big fuss and even kick Shen Qing out of the house!
Shen Qing saw the sinister face of Shen Ba under the high platform and could guess what the other person was thinking, but he still had no regrets. He believed that this decision would bring huge changes to the family's current situation and shut everyone's mouths!
...
In the blink of an eye, time passed by, and another half month passed by in a hurry.
Like everyone in the family, Shen Qing has been studying Yuan skills during this period of time, almost staying behind closed doors.
However, in fact, the Yin-Yang Transformation Needle is not a purely offensive skill, but is more suitable for auxiliary purposes.
Three Yang Xuan Needles are the master of cultivation, and golden needles seal the acupoints to simplify the circulation of Yuan Qi, greatly increasing the speed of cultivation.
The three suffering acupuncture masters fight, and the golden acupuncture points stimulate the potential, and in a short period of time, it can even achieve powerful effects comparable to those of the higher realms.
Of course, as a five-star or other elemental skill, it is not as simple as memorizing the acupoints to learn them. Which acupoints to seal, which acupoints to prick, how to combine them, the sequence, and even the time points, all require understanding to quickly understand.
Now half a month has passed, and with my extremely strong understanding, I can’t explain it thoroughly, but I am definitely familiar with this skill.
"It doesn't seem to be as difficult to practice as rumored. I don't know how everyone is doing. I guess Shen Fei, Shen Bai, Guo Yun and others will be similar to me. Some of the elders in the family may have become proficient in it!"
Shen Qing thought silently, feeling quite excited.
After mastering the golden needle acupoint closure, the speed of cultivation will be greatly improved. As a result, the overall strength of the family will be improved soon!
Of course, he is different from others.
Now, with the golden needles sealing the acupoints and the abundant elixirs, coupled with the creation of the dharma body, it is no exaggeration to say that his cultivation speed is more than eight times that of ordinary people, and he is traveling thousands of miles a day!
Buzz!
While sitting cross-legged and practicing, the originally calm Dantian suddenly surged, and the billowing vitality suddenly lost control and rushed to the major meridians crazily!
Shen Qing was startled, then overjoyed, because according to what the Fourth Grand Duke said, this situation was a sign that the Dan River was about to form!
"This is a sign of the opening of veins and canals, and the emergence of the Dan River! In other words, if I want to, I am fully qualified to break through the Dan River realm at any time!"
She looked extremely excited, but after hesitating for a moment, Shen Qing decided to suppress it first.
Because according to the Fourth Grand Duke, opening a vein and forming a canal is not just one time. Regardless of deliberate suppression or normal failure, as long as the Dan River does not appear, this step will be repeated indefinitely.
He wanted to get familiar with it and get used to it first. After all, there was still a certain risk that the real "Delta River Appearance" would destroy the meridians, and the more times the meridians were opened and channels were opened, the smaller this risk would be.
Thinking like this, Shen Qing took a deep breath and wanted to rest for a while, but at this moment, someone knocked on the door.
It's Ma Bo who's here.
"What, is there any progress?" Shen Qing asked hurriedly. Song Ziji was very stubborn and had not found out the news for such a long time.
Uncle Ma sighed and shook his head, "Song Ziji is very strict with his words. This old slave is here to deliver a message."
"A Ning's letter?" Shen Qing was quite excited. Since her younger sister Shen Ning entered the Shangzong practice, she has had very few letters. Mostly because the Shangzong has strict requirements and is afraid of leaking secrets.
"It's not the Second Miss. If she writes a letter, it should be from Fei Ge. This letter was sent by someone."
Shen Qing frowned. He had always been looked down upon by others and had no friends at all. Although the situation has changed now that he has established his authority, and people who want to please are flocking to him, but you must know that they are all his own children. If something happens, there is no need to write letters.
Who could it be?
A premonition arose in his heart, and he vaguely felt that this letter was not simple...
