My Endless Life

Li Qi had already heard Jiang Mingtong tell him about County Magistrate Qian's resume.

He studied poetry and books diligently, gained fame, and barely passed the imperial examination. Then he was assigned to Linbian City and became the county magistrate of the city.

Before becoming a county magistrate, this person had absolutely no martial arts skills. This is an extremely certain thing.

And he has been a county magistrate for more than ten years, and he has never learned any martial arts.

Although one can embark on the path of martial arts at any age, even if you are an old man, you can still learn martial arts if you are willing.

But practicing martial arts is one thing, and wanting to go further on the path of martial arts is another.

Generally speaking, only if ordinary people are exposed to martial arts at a young age can they have the opportunity to enter the innate world before the age of thirty.

And this is just an opportunity.

The older you get, the stiffer your body becomes, the more blocked the meridians in your body are, and the more your Qi and blood are depleted, making it harder to improve in martial arts.

If you practice martial arts at the age of thirty, you still have the possibility of reaching the peak of the acquired realm.

If you practice martial arts at the age of forty, you will probably be able to reach a high level.

Practicing martial arts at the age of fifty may only have the effect of strengthening the body, but don't think about it anymore.

Magistrate Qian was just over 20 years old when he took the exam and took office. More than ten years later, when he was nearly 40 years old, he just started practicing martial arts. Not to mention that he could reach the innate level, even if he could reach the top level, he was on the wrong track. Martial genius.

As a result, He Ru actually said that Magistrate Qian was born innate?

He has only been practicing martial arts for a few years, but he is already innate? ?

Li Qi looked surprised.

He Ru said with a smile: "If you don't believe me, wait until the magistrate Qian has stabilized his cultivation and comes out of seclusion. The slave family can make the decision and let the magistrate meet you. Then you will test him and you will know his martial arts cultivation."

He Ru is not afraid of Li Qi meeting Magistrate Qian, which means that Magistrate Qian may indeed be a congenital.

Li Qi looked at He Ru blankly, thought for a while and then asked:

"How did he do it?"

"Didn't the slave family say that the slave family has a way to make you stronger..."

"This method... can be used by anyone?"

Li Qi stared at He Ru.

If there is such a way to make people stronger quickly in this world, then why do people in the martial arts have to practice martial arts hard in the winter and three days in the summer?

Li Qi didn't believe there was such a way, but after experiencing several worlds, he understood that sometimes the more unbelievable something is, the more likely it is to exist.

He looked at Heru suspiciously, waiting for her answer.

Heru responded:

"Of course not. This method also depends on 'fate' and 'talent.' Sir, let's not mention your fate for the moment. At least your talent definitely meets the standards of this method."

Let's not mention Li Qi's fate, he doesn't know this either.

But in terms of talent, Li Qi is somewhat confident.

Although his talent in martial arts seems to be average, after practicing martial arts for many years, he is only close to innate.

But this is because Li Qi is obsessed with creating a set of exercises that are unique to him. If he only practices the Linglong Heart Sutra, which is passed down from his family, Li Qi may be on the same level as the cheap dad in this life.

That is the realm of the third-grade master.

Such talent is not only rare in a thousand years, but at least rare in hundreds of years.

Heru's vision is indeed good.

But the problem is——

"How did you tell?"

Li Qi narrowed his eyes.

He Ru whispered: "To be honest, the Nu family can actually learn martial arts, but this martial arts does not cultivate the body, but only cultivates the eyes. The Nu family's eyes... are very clever."

As she spoke, her eyes flickered, revealing a bone-chilling charm.

This woman is actually seducing Li Qi again.

But this look was of no use to Li Qi. His heart was already as hard as iron. Even the remaining emotions from his previous life only made him less like a machine.

If she wanted to charm him, unless this woman turned into a relic and puppet from her previous life, Li Qi could still look at her twice.

Otherwise, Heru's gesture was no different from ogling a blind man.

Ignoring He Ru's seduction, Li Qi asked:

"Then what is the way to become stronger that you mentioned?"

He Ru didn't show off this time. She came closer and asked mysteriously:

"I wonder if your Excellency has ever heard of...'Nine Transformations Golden Pill'?"

"..."

…

When He Ru mentioned the name 'Nine Transformations Golden Pill', Li Qi suddenly had a hallucination.

I feel like I am reincarnated this time not into a martial arts world, but into a fairy world.

no……

Didn’t you say you’d like to practice martial arts? Why did the Nine Transformations Golden Pill suddenly appear? !

Taishang Laojun came here to preach?

Li Qi was full of questions, but He Ru mysteriously gave him a box, saying that the box contained the Nine Turns Golden Pill.

Although it is low-grade, it can still improve people's internal energy. If they are at the threshold between acquired and innate, taking it will definitely break through the innate.

If you are not at a critical juncture, you can quickly improve your strength in a short period of time.

As long as you are in the lower third level, you can break through to the first level after taking it, or approach the peak of this level.

The above is what He Ru said. Whether this golden elixir can directly increase a person's combat power still needs to be tested by Li Qi himself.

But Li Qi was not stupid, so how could he take such an inexplicable thing.

He found Uncle Zhong, handed the golden elixir to Uncle Zhong for inspection, and then asked:

"Uncle Zhong, is this Nine Turns Golden Pill... real or fake?"

"Um……"

Uncle Zhong held the golden elixir that seemed to be engraved with special lines in his hand, frowning in thought.

After a while he said:

"Master, I can't see it."

"Can't you even see it, Uncle Zhong?"

“Master, although our Qiqiao Villa is famous for its hidden weapons, mechanisms, and pharmacology, our main focus is still on hidden weapons.

“This golden elixir… I really can’t tell what it is. Perhaps only the ‘Tianyi Valley’, one of the six major sects, knows something. If you are worried, you can give this golden elixir to me, and I will send it to Tianyi Valley for research later. ”

Tianyi Valley, one of the six major sects, is famous for its pharmacology and medical skills. Most of the elixirs circulating in the martial arts world are also from Tianyi Valley.

For example, there are Dieda Pills for treating external injuries, Xiaohuan Pills for treating internal injuries, Bigu Pills that can keep people from being hungry for a day, and Detoxification Pills that can detoxify most of the common poisons in the martial arts world.

Most of the people in Tianyi Valley are warriors with a kind heart. They practice both martial arts and medicine. Although their hard power is not the top among the six major sects, their soft power is the best among the six major sects.

Li's Qiqiao Villa, because it also involves elixirs, also has some dealings with Tianyi Valley, so Zhong Bo said so.

"Forget it, I'll think of another way. "

Li Qi took the golden elixir back, and had no intention of sending it to Tianyi Valley.

The main reason was that Tianyi Valley was located in the southern part of Daqi, one south of Linbian City and the other north of it.

In this era, transportation was inconvenient, and it would take at least several months to go from Linbian City to Tianyi Valley.

With such a long time, the pig demon that was making trouble in the city would have run away long ago. Instead of wasting time on this golden elixir, it would be better to find a death row prisoner to test the medicine.

Even if there was really something wrong with this golden elixir, it would only be a death row prisoner who died.

Zhong Bo said nothing more.

After taking care of Li Qi for so many years, Zhong Bo knew very well that Li Qi was different from ordinary children.

He was very mature, and he had been very mature since he was a child.

Since he was sensible, Li Qi had his own set of goals no matter what he did.

He was not like other young masters who relied on their status to do whatever they wanted. He was not reckless, nor was he like a martial arts young man who was indignant because of a small matter.

Li Qi gave Zhong Bo the feeling of a very mature little adult.

From a long time ago, apart from protecting Li Qi's safety, Zhong Bo would not give him any advice to influence his thoughts.

Including this time when the wedding was imminent, Li Qi was "traveling around" outside.

Zhong Bo was beside Li Qi, but he did not persuade Li Qi to go back as soon as possible.

Because Zhong Bo knew that Li Qi would definitely go back when it was time to go back, without him saying anything.

It was the same now. Since Li Qi felt that the golden elixir should not be handed over to Tianyimen, there was no need to do anything unnecessary. Zhong Bo only needed to protect Li Qi.

Dong Dong Dong——

Just as the two finished their conversation, there was a knock on the door outside the study.

Jiang Ming's voice followed:

"Master Li, I'm back."

"Come in. "

Li Qi said to the outside of the door, and Zhong Bo's figure disappeared like a ghost, as if he had never existed.

After Jiang Ming came in, he saw only Li Qi in the study.

He didn't think much, clasped his hands and saluted, and then said:

"Sir, I have already asked the brothel, and the brothel's madam said that He Ru was not originally from their brothel, but later became the most popular courtesan."

"What do you mean by later became the most popular courtesan?"

"Your Excellency doesn't know that most of the women in the brothel have been trained since childhood, and there are few good girls who enter the brothel halfway, but He Ru entered Chunshuilou directly at the age of seventeen, and then it took only one year to become the most popular courtesan, and she has been the most popular courtesan for three years. "

Jiang Ming explained.

Although brothels were a formal industry in this era, how could a real good girl go back to a brothel to seek a job?

If a brothel wants to have its own girls, it can only train them from childhood.

Some girls who were sold to the city for various reasons, or lost their parents and had to rely on brothels, or... girls who came from special channels, are the main targets of training in brothels.

Women who enter brothels halfway are generally not liked by the madam.

After all, such girls are already grown up, have their own ideas, know what to do and what not to do, and it is quite difficult to "train" them.

If you encounter those who are hot-tempered and would rather die than do such business, then in the end you will lose both the wife and the army.

So generally speaking, few women in brothels become prostitutes halfway through their careers, and most of them are trained from childhood.

But He Ru is different.

Her origin is unknown. As soon as she arrived in Linbian City, she went straight to Chunshui Tower and then worked as a prostitute for four years.

And because she could bring enough benefits to Chunshui Tower, the madam of Chunshui Tower did not investigate her identity.

So Jiang Ming did not actually investigate anything, but just knew that He Ru's identity was indeed not simple.

"Is there no way to check He Ru's previous experience?"

Li Qi thought for a while and asked Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming responded helplessly: "There is no way to check. No one knows when He Ru came to Linbian City, so there is no way to find out He Ru's previous identity and experience."

"Forget it if you can't find it. "

After a short silence, Li Qi said to Jiang Ming.

Although Jiang Ming could not find out anything, he could at least confirm that He Ru was not just an ordinary courtesan or maid.

She must have left a secret behind her.

Li Qi asked Jiang Ming to give up investigating He Ru for the time being, and said to him:

"Go find me a few death row prisoners."

"Death row prisoners?"

"Yes, death row prisoners with martial arts skills, I want to... do an experiment."

Playing with the box containing the golden elixir in his hand, Li Qi narrowed his eyes slightly.

If this golden elixir can really improve people's strength, perhaps... Li Qi can find a way to imitate it.

After coming to this world for so long, he has not made a few decent alchemy works, and he has been itching to do it for a long time.
