Chapter 35: 35 Zhao Family’s Plot?_1
[Host’s will detected, deducting 140 Qi-Blood points…]
[Fierce Tiger Power proficiency is increasing…]
The cold yet incredibly familiar voice suddenly echoed in Luo Changfeng’s mind.
“140 Qi-Blood points?”
“What does that mean?”
Luo Changfeng didn’t quite understand the Golden Finger’s message.
However, as the Qi-Blood was deducted,
and proficiency increased,
Luo Changfeng reopened the Golden Finger panel unique to him, and then he understood why the system had deducted exactly 140 Qi-Blood points.
[Name: Luo Changfeng!]
[Lifespan: 20 years+]
[Cultivation: Viscera Refinement Initial Stage+ (0/1000)]
[Qi-Blood: 1550 (-140) (ps: Safe available Qi-Blood is 15 points!)]
[Cultivation Technique: Mortal’s Finest·Fierce Tiger Power (Comprehension: 100%+), Mortal’s Finest·Feng Ying Step (Comprehension: 5%+) (Incomplete)]
Looking at the Golden Finger panel before him,
Luo Changfeng couldn’t help but mutter softly to himself, “So it means that with just 2 Qi-Blood points, Fierce Tiger Power’s proficiency can be increased by one percent…”
“This ratio, it’s quite good.”
“Since that’s the case, let’s allocate all the remaining Qi-Blood points to Feng Ying Step…”
[Host’s will detected, deducting 15 Qi-Blood points…]
[Feng Ying Step proficiency is increasing…]
In his mind, that cold voice sounded once again.
However, this time, unlike with the Fierce Tiger Power,
increasing the proficiency of Feng Ying Step required 3 Qi-Blood points for an increase of one percent.
15 Qi-Blood points added a total of five percent proficiency.
Five percent may not seem like much,
but in reality, even this slight five percent in comprehension was already able to provide a significant speed boost for Luo Changfeng.
“Let’s try out the one-hundred-percent comprehended Fierce Tiger Power first!”
Thinking this, Luo Changfeng silently assumed the most basic Tiger stance of Fierce Tiger Power.
The speed and rhythm of the blood flow in his body also gradually aligned with the circulation rhythm of the Fierce Tiger Power technique.
After Luo Changfeng’s blood completed a minor circulation,
a bloodthirsty tiger, formed by the overflowing Qi-Blood Force, vaguely appeared behind him, its whole body emanating a terrifying murderous aura.
“Is this Fierce Tiger Power?”
Luo Changfeng turned his head and glanced at the bloodthirsty tiger behind him with its terrifying murderous aura.
He silently felt the strength in his body, which had gained approximately a twofold increase,
and he nodded in satisfaction, calming the flow of blood in his body.
He dissipated the bloodthirsty tiger that had condensed behind him from the overflowing Qi-Blood Force.
“If the strength at the Viscera Refinement Initial Stage is roughly defined as ten thousand catties,”
“the strength at the Organ Refinement Realm Intermediate Stage is roughly defined as twenty thousand catties,”
“then after experiencing the twofold increase in strength, I could momentarily reach a strength of thirty thousand catties.”
“With this strength, I can compare to some cultivators at the Organ Refinement Realm Intermediate Stage.”
After testing out the one-hundred-percent comprehended Fierce Tiger Power,
Luo Changfeng began to try the Feng Ying Step with a ten percent comprehension level.
It’s unknown whether reaching one hundred percent in a technique will grant a huge bonus, or something else.
But this Feng Ying Step, with only ten percent comprehension,
provided Luo Changfeng with a speed increase that left him feeling slightly disappointed.
However, it was sufficient for now.
Being faster than a normal cultivator at Viscera Refinement Initial Realm was enough for the moment.
In the blink of an eye, another day had passed.
In the early morning, when the fog was still thick and the sky had not completely brightened,
in Zhao Family’s territory within Qingshi Town, inside a room where the lighting was slightly dim,
two people whom Zhao Wu had been waiting for a long time had arrived.
“Big brother, are you sure you want to make a move against the Luo Family?”
“Among us in the Zhao Family, both you and I have achieved Bone Refinement Perfection,”
“But Luo Lao San from the Luo Family in Qingshi Town has also reached the Bone Refinement Perfection level.”
“His strength must not be underestimated.”
“The elite house servants he controls are also a force that needs to be given significant attention.”
“Forcefully taking down this tough bone will not be an easy task!”
In the room, in front of Zhao Wu.
That man, bearing a resemblance to Zhao Wu, was the second elder of the Zhao Family, Zhao Hong.
Upon learning that the Family Head, his big brother, wanted to see him,
he immediately arranged everything and rushed non-stop in the direction of the Zhao Family estate in Qingshi Town.
“Family Head of the Zhao Family, although the situation within Qingshi Town has become much clearer after several bloodbaths,”
“it has also made it more difficult for the Zhao Family to make a move against the Luo Family because of this.”
“Being one of the four major families of Qingshi Town, neither the Hu Family nor the Jing Family”
“will sit idly by and watch the Luo Family collapse, then be swallowed up by the Zhao Family.”
Sturdy Zhao Hong’s side, the pale-faced, somewhat mediocre-looking Gao Qi,
let out a couple coughs before speaking in a low voice.
“Indeed, big brother,” Zhao Hong said upon hearing this, silently nodding before adding, “Moreover, there’s also the Blackwind Stockade eyeing us fiercely beside my Black Tiger Fortress.”
“If I mobilize the forces of Black Tiger Fortress, Blackwind Stockade will surely not turn a blind eye.”
In the room, Zhao Wu and Zhao Hong looked at each other,
seemingly unable to convince one another.
Just when the two of them were at a stalemate,
the silently standing Gao Qi,
suddenly spoke up.
“If the Family Head of the Zhao Family is determined to resolve the issue with the Luo Family in Qingshi Town, it’s not that there are no options…”
“What method???” Zhao Wu and Zhao Hong both looked towards Gao Qi.
Gao Qi, after pondering for a moment, replied softly, “The rise of Blackwind Stockade is something no one anticipated.”
“Behind Blackwind Stockade, there must be someone supporting them in secret.”
“Although for the short term our Black Tiger Fortress can still contend with Blackwind Stockade,”
“as time goes by…”
“The strengthening of Blackwind Stockade is inevitable.”
“Thus, it is time to make a decision.”
“Whether to develop the power of Black Tiger Fortress outside Qingshi Town and completely suppress Blackwind Stockade, or…”
“Mobilize all of Black Tiger Fortress’s forces inside Qingshi Town.”
“Completely suppress the Luo Family there, then seal off all officials inside Qingshi Town.”
“Take full control of Qingshi Town and use it as a base to gradually expand influence outward.”
Though Gao Qi’s voice wasn’t loud,
his words thundered in everyone’s ears like the sound of rolling thunder.
“Use Qingshi Town as a base, gradually expand influence outward?”
Sitting solemnly at the main seat, Zhao Wu kept repeating these words.
His eyes grew increasingly bright.
“If we really act as you say, mobilizing all of Black Tiger Fortress’s forces into Qingshi Town,”
“what are the chances of success for our Zhao Family?”
“Approximately ninety percent!!!” Gao Qi said with considerable confidence.
With his understanding of the powers of the major families within Qingshi Town,
besides the Zhao Family having two individuals at Bone Refinement Perfection,
the other three families among the four major families each had only one.
If at this moment, the Zhao Family decides to put all the forces of Black Tiger Fortress into Qingshi Town,
annihilate the Luo Family, to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys,
take over all the wealth of the Luo Family,
then seal off all officials inside Qingshi Town,
and finally, use the massive Qingshi ore veins outside the town to rebuild a new, taller, and thicker wall for Qingshi Town,
in doing so, the plan will certainly succeed.
