Chapter 116: Cultivation Breakthrough, Third Mysterious Power!
Ji Qing stood quietly in the courtyard.
After a while, the guard came.
“Mister Ji, the Patriarch requests your presence! Moreover, the Patriarch said that Ninth Young Master and Thirteenth Miss may go together.”
Clearly, the Chen Family Patriarch knew about the relationship between Ji Qing and the Chen Luo siblings.
“Lead the way ahead.”
Thus, Ji Qing and the Chen Luo siblings left the courtyard together to meet the Chen Family Patriarch.
Along the way, Ji Qing noticed that both Chen Luo and Chen Lin were very tense.
Even Chen Lin, who had always “resisted” the family, was extremely obedient at this moment.
Soon, Ji Qing met the Chen Family Patriarch.
The other party did not look old at all, appearing to be around thirty years old.
But his actual age was certainly far more than thirty.
“‘Astonishing Swan Saber’ Mister Ji has honored us with his presence; my Chen Family is flourishing, please sit, Mister Ji.”
Ji Qing nodded and sat down.
“Dad.”
Chen Luo and Chen Lin spoke up to call out.
Both appeared very reserved.
“Mm.”
The Chen Family Patriarch just responded faintly.
He also had no intention of asking them to sit.
“I wonder what matter brings Mister Ji to my Chen Family?”
The Chen Family Patriarch took the initiative to ask.
“Ji Mou has formed a sworn brotherhood with Chen Luo and Chen Lin; I believe the Patriarch should know this. This time, I came specifically to see Chen Luo and Chen Lin, but unexpectedly learned that Chen Lin had been grounded by the Patriarch, so I wanted to visit the Patriarch to understand the specific situation.”
Ji Qing considered for a moment and then spoke.
Of course, he would not say that Chen Lin had written a letter asking for help.
After all, Chen Lin still had to stay in the Chen Family.
Besides, everyone actually knew it tacitly.
Even if Ji Qing did not say it, the Chen Family Patriarch should know.
“It’s this matter. Actually, the reason is very simple. My Chen Family is to form a marriage alliance with the Wang Family. Chen Lin refuses to marry Wang Xuan, and I also know that Wang Xuan has many misdeeds, but Wang Xuan has exceptionally high talent. Before even entering the Demon Slayer Secret Realm, his bloodline has already reached the third rank. If he enters the secret realm and obtains the ancestral inheritance, how high can Wang Xuan’s bloodline reach? Fourth rank or fifth rank?”
“In the future, Wang Xuan might even become the Wang Family Patriarch. I am giving Chen Lin this opportunity.”
At this time, Chen Lin mustered her courage and said, “But… but I do not like it. Dad, the Chen Family has so many women; it does not lack me alone…”
“But who made Wang Xuan set his heart on you? Otherwise, I would have changed to someone else for the marriage alliance long ago.”
Ji Qing understood.
The key was still on Wang Xuan.
That Wang Xuan had very high talent and had taken a fancy to Chen Lin.
And Chen Lin,
Although she had awakened her bloodline, it was only a mere first rank, with limited potential in the future.
If Chen Lin could form a marriage alliance with Wang Xuan, that would naturally be the best.
Therefore, in the end, it was still that Chen Lin’s “value” was not enough.
If Chen Lin had a third-rank bloodline, the Chen Family would never send her to the Wang Family no matter what.
After all, a third-rank bloodline was enough to cause a qualitative change.
At the very least, in the future, she could rely on the third-rank bloodline to rival a first-rate expert in the jianghu.
How could they possibly send her to the Wang Family for a marriage alliance?
“Dad, give me a chance! This time the Demon Slayer Secret Realm opens, I choose Third Brother to be my Guardian and accompany me into the Demon Slayer Secret Realm. Once I obtain the ancestral inheritance in the secret realm and elevate my bloodline to the third rank, then you can no longer force me to go to the Wang Family for the marriage alliance.”
“If after the secret realm ends, my bloodline has not elevated to the third rank, then I will willingly enter the Wang Family and cause no more trouble!”
Chen Lin stepped forward and said through gritted teeth.
This was a decision she had thought through deeply.
The Chen Family Patriarch’s fingers tapped on the table.
His gaze scanned up and down Chen Lin’s body, and finally shifted to Ji Qing.
“What about Mister Ji?”
“Ji Mou is naturally willing to become Fourth Sister’s Guardian and accompany Fourth Sister on a trip to the Demon Slayer Secret Realm!”
Ji Qing stated his position.
A smile appeared on the Chen Family Patriarch’s face.
“Alright, Chen Lin, I will give you this one chance!”
“Thank you, Dad.”
Chen Lin was very excited.
No matter what, she had finally fought for one chance.
“Mister Ji, please stay comfortably in my Chen Family for now; there are still a few days until the Demon Slayer Secret Realm opens.”
Ji Qing nodded.
Thus, the three bid farewell and left.
Chen Lin’s grounding was also lifted.
Prepare with peace of mind for the Demon Slayer Secret Realm.
“Thank you, Third Brother.”
Chen Lin was also very clear that this time “father” agreed so quickly, the biggest reason was Ji Qing.
Ji Qing then stayed in the Chen Family.
He also needed to prepare well.
After asking Chen Luo, Ji Qing also learned many things about the situation in the Demon Slayer Secret Realm.
There were demons in the Demon Slayer Secret Realm, and quite a few of them.
This was one of the dangers.
There was also the competition between the demon slayers.
Killing is not allowed among demon slayers in the Demon Slayer Secret Realm.
After all, every demon slayer is a direct descendant of a Demon Slayer Family.
But they know that if one has strong strength, they can seize the other’s identity token.
Without the identity token, one will be “teleported” out of the secret realm.
Therefore, demon slayers are also one of the dangers.
Ji Qing was indeed very confident in his own strength.
But he still wanted to be stronger.
Only with strong strength could he suppress all demon slayers and all guardians.
To cope with any unexpected events.
Ji Qing glanced at the Origin Point.
“Origin Point: 12 points”.
Last time, he killed the Water Demon Fish Turtle and obtained 10 origin points.
And Ji Qing currently had twenty-four acupoints at perfection.
If he had twenty-five acupoints, he could give birth to the third kind of mysterious power.
At that time, his strength would surely be even stronger!
This was also the fastest way for Ji Qing to quickly improve his strength in just a few days.
12 origin points could exactly elevate a secret manual from beginner to perfection.
Although practicing for a few more months, Ji Qing could cultivate the secret manual to minor accomplishment, saving 3 origin points at that time.
But Ji Qing only had a few days before entering the secret realm, so he would not wait.
Thus, Ji Qing immediately consumed 12 origin points,
“Boom”.
With the consumption of 12 origin points, the secret manual Ji Qing was cultivating also reached perfection immediately.
At the same time, a new acupoint was also opened and slowly reached perfection.
“Ji Qing: First-Rank Martial Artist（ twenty-five acupoints）”
Sure enough, twenty-five acupoints had already been born in Ji Qing’s body.
Exactly one more acupoint than twenty-four acupoints.
Ji Qing’s cultivation had also stepped into the third stage of first-rate!
He was also getting closer to first-rate perfection.
Soon, the twenty-fifth acupoint also finally reached perfection.
Ji Qing also gradually felt a brand-new power being born from the twenty-fifth acupoint.
That was the third kind of mysterious power attached to Ji Qing’s internal energy.
Ji Qing stretched out his hand and circulated the internal energy in his body.
Immediately, his internal energy carried Ice Power, forming a layer of frost on his hand.
Then it changed again; the frost turned into constantly flickering thunder.
This was the second kind of mysterious power.
Then it began to change again.
The flickering thunder disappeared, replaced by a wisp of cyan internal energy.
This wisp of cyan internal energy was clearly a brand-new kind of mysterious power.
However, what exactly was the effect of this brand-new mysterious power?
Ji Qing tried it, and the new mysterious power seemed to have no attack power.
However, when he circulated his internal energy throughout his body, Ji Qing had a new discovery.
“The third kind of mysterious power is actually…”
Ji Qing’s expression perked up, and he vaguely felt extremely excited in his heart!
