My Apprentice Is Too Diligent

Chapter 52: Mr. Qin, please wait.

No one responded.

Everyone's gaze was focused on Chen Wuji's unharmed palm.

He kneaded the iron sword like clay.

Not only did it require immense strength, but also strong bones and skin.

This can be achieved through horizontal cultivation of martial arts.

However, the appearance of a Martial Master is very direct.

Almost every muscle is strong and sturdy, with a thick waist and round shoulders. The palms are rough, full of vitality, like a furnace.

Although Chen Wuji's physique as "Qin Shubao" is also robust and strong, his skin is smooth, his palms are delicate, and there are no calluses.

His aura is not prominent either.

Such external manifestations have only one sign.

True Qi Realm!

Moreover, it is the second layer of the True Qi Realm, with True Qi protecting the body!

He Qiliang and the young man who realized this felt a buzzing in their heads, almost dizzy.

Li Changyu and Li Changwu were shocked, astonished, and incredulous.

They knew "Qin Shubao," and the last time they met, he was only at the peak of the Body Refining Eighth Layer.

In such a short time, he had become the second layer of the True Qi Realm!?

They were shocked, confused, and unimaginable.

But more than that, they were excited, inspired, and ecstatic!

Even they themselves didn't know why they couldn't suppress their excitement and joy upon hearing Chen Wuji's words and seeing him knead the long sword into a lump.

"He Qiliang! He Dengming!"

Li Changwu was the first to come back to his senses, breaking the silence, his face flushed as he shouted loudly, "Mr. Qin is our guest of the True Qi Realm. Do you accept it or not?"

He Dengming opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he dared not speak. His defiant face turned as red as a pig's liver.

He Qiliang's lips trembled, his body slightly shaking, his eyes filled with astonishment, panic, unwillingness, and suppressed anger...

In the end, he resigned himself to the situation, suppressed his breath, and said in a low voice, "Um, Brother Li, we have something to attend to, so we'll leave first."

After speaking, he pulled He Dengming and hurriedly walked outside.

Several shocked and stunned guards regained their senses and hurriedly followed, fleeing in a panic.

Chen Wuji didn't stop them and let them leave.

Li Changwu wanted to shout a few more words, but was glared at by Li Changyu, suppressing him firmly.

The fifty thousand taels of silver was never mentioned again.

He Qiliang and He Denglong were too ashamed and dared not bring it up again.

Li Changyu decided to stop while he was ahead and didn't want to start a war with the He family because of this.

Although they had already torn their faces, there was no need for both sides to fight to the death over this matter.

After this battle, the relationship between the two sides was severed, and they would never have any contact in the future.

Li Changwu was impulsive, seeking temporary satisfaction.

Li Changyu, as the head of the family, is thinking about the entire family.

He Qiliang and He Denglong leaving in a sorry state is the best outcome.

And this outcome was brought by "Qin Shubao".

Thinking of this, Li Changyu took a deep breath, faced Chen Wuji, respectfully bowed, and spoke.

"Changyu, thank you, Mr. Qin!"

"Changwu, also thank Mr. Qin!" Li Changwu saw this and quickly followed, bowing and speaking, "Changwu cannot speak, only knows that if it weren't for Mr. Qin this time, the Li family would suffer a great loss. Therefore, from this moment on, no matter what orders or commands Mr. Qin gives, Changwu will go through fire and water without hesitation, even if it means death!"

"Serious, serious."

Chen Wuji waved his hand and calmly said, "It's just a small effort, no need to talk about life or death. But this time, my family came with something to trouble the head of the Li family."

"Please, Mr. Qin!"

Li Changyu stood up straight and solemnly said, "As long as the Li family can do it, no, even if the Li family can't do it, we will find a way to do it."

"Yes!" Li Changwu quickly interjected, "Mr. Qin, please speak, I guarantee..."

"Let me finish first." Chen Wuji raised his hand to interrupt, "Here's the thing, my family is no longer in the True Qi Realm. We want to improve our cultivation, but White Water County doesn't have any Qi-enhancing elixirs. I just wanted to ask the head of the Li family if you have any channels or ways to purchase this kind of elixir?"

"You can rest assured, we will take care of it ourselves. As long as we can buy elixirs that can enhance True Qi cultivation, even if it costs a thousand taels per pill, it's not a problem!"

"Well..."

Li Changyu and Li Changwu exchanged glances.

The latter nodded and respectfully said to Chen Wuji, "Mr. Qin, please wait, I'll be right back."

"Hmm?" Chen Wuji looked at Li Changwu in surprise, and after exchanging greetings, he quickly left.

"Mr. Qin, please wait, we will know soon."

Li Changyu smiled and said, "Before that, I can answer Mr. Qin's question. We do have a channel to obtain elixirs that enhance True Qi cultivation in the Li family. However, it takes time because it's in the capital city. As for the price, it used to be ten taels of silver for a Qi Condensation Pill, but now it should be less than fifteen taels."

Upon hearing this, Chen Wuji became interested and asked, "Is the Qi Condensation Pill the elixir that enhances True Qi cultivation?"

"Yes." Li Changyu explained to Chen Wuji the information he knew about the elixirs.

In short, the cost of improving cultivation in the True Qi Realm is enormous.

A Qi Condensation Pill costs ten to fifteen taels of silver.

But it can be digested and refined into True Qi in less than a cup of tea, depending on the individual's cultivation method.

Some require more, some require less.

And for every breakthrough in the True Qi Realm, regardless of the first layer, the True Qi capacity is calculated in several clusters.

A strand, a thread, a bundle, a stream, a cluster.

The accumulation of each step is a hundredfold.

Chen Wuji naturally understood this.

That's why he wanted to take elixirs to enhance his cultivation.

Now hearing such a high price, it was within his expectations.

During the conversation, Li Changwu returned.

He also brought with him the previous generation head of the Li family, Li Zhengchun.

"Mr. Qin, the Li family is willing to support you in completing the transformation to the Ninth Layer of the True Qi Realm!"
