Chapter 303: What does this have to do with me?
With Wu Hongzhou's explanation, Xu Lingjun finally understood that Sister Yaya had actually overlooked something.
There's no issue with the Essence Supplement Pill; her researched information was very accurate.
However, the Yang Spirit Liquid can replenish essence, qi, and spirit... this is not exactly incorrect.
It's just that Wang Qingya is not a professional, so she overlooked a very serious problem.
The Yang Spirit Liquid is ninety percent for essence, half a percent for qi, and half a percent for spirit.
In other words, it's fortunate that he had been threatened by danger during this time, so he hadn't taken this elixir; otherwise, Sister Yaya would have had to swallow all the bitterness due to her incomplete data.
Anyway, as long as it's not the Barrier-Breaking Pill, it's fine.
Xu Lingjun then understood why Wu Hongzhou dared to trade with him; apparently, this thing wasn't even worth considering for himself.
Apart from making a woman doubt his abilities, it had no effect.
Since Xu Lingjun couldn't use it, and seeing that Wu Hongzhou needed it, Xu Lingjun was happy to be generous... and give it all to him...
But he couldn't help but marvel inwardly, who would've thought even a powerful martial artist would have unspeakable troubles?
I really benefited from cultivating a Body Refining Technique, seeing how Wu Hongzhou paid such a high price for his kidney.
However, considering his relationship with Sun Qingrou, it seems that meeting this woman might make even a healthy kidney hard to withstand for long, right?
After sending off the extremely grateful Wu Hongzhou...
Xu Lingjun watched his departing figure, instinctively feeling like he had overlooked something, but couldn't figure out what exactly it was.
Whatever, it doesn't really concern me, so it's fine.
Xu Lingjun put away the martial skill.
A martial skill written by hand, this could be the biggest leverage... Wu Hongzhou didn't take it away, perhaps to reassure him.
Yeah, he's pretty good at handling things.
He tidied up a bit and went to the Zhanzheng Academy to find Sister Yaya.
The crisis is now resolved.
He didn't need to be overly cautious anymore.
Zhou Qianmo never acted before, and naturally wouldn't now... wait a minute!
Xu Lingjun suddenly realized what he had indeed overlooked.
Zhou Qianmo!
Roger Sparrow must've been sent by Zhou Qianmo to assassinate Han Yun City.
And according to Wu Hongzhou, Roger is actually Zhou Mu's biological father... so now there's only one question left, whether Zhou Mu is Zhou Qianmo's biological grandson...
If not, it only proves that Zhou Qianmo is truly a man of great love.
If he is...
If he is, then Roger's identity is really worth pondering over.
Have I and Han Yun City actually wiped out two generations of descendants of the Zhou family?
And both cases were the kind where the bodies were never found, alive or dead? In that case, wouldn't Zhou Qianmo hate us to death?
But thinking it over, Xu Lingjun went out casually.
What a joke...
Han Yun City killed Zhou Mu, and there's no evidence, but Zhou Qianmo seems to have determined this.
The one who killed Roger Sparrow was Wu Hongzhou, and this was even officially certified, so what does it have to do with me, Xu Lingjun?
The Pavilion Master of the Martial Mansion wouldn't dare act against me without solid evidence... unless he doesn't want to mix anymore.
Should I remind Wu Hongzhou about this?
Xu Lingjun thought about it, but... he's at least the deputy leader of a sect... um, well, deputy leader, and even without this enmity, the relationship between the Martial Mansion and the Sect isn't exactly good, so I'd better not rashly get involved.
The next day.
Xu Lingjun and Han Yun City's rewards came through.
Han Yun City was promoted to Deputy Commander, awarded three Life-Extending Pills; these are imperial tributes, not to be consumed by anyone but the royal family, each extending life by five years.
Though many didn't understand why His Majesty would reward a young man with such pills, was it affection for a son?
But upon seeing Lin Diguang's unspeakably excited demeanor...
Everyone immediately understood.
His Majesty is wise after all, using Lin Diguang to bring his own son out, and then lightly gifting him some treasures, thus repaying favors owed by his son.
As for Xu Lingjun, he was awarded three bottles of Primordial Liquid.
He wasn't promoted, but it was clearly stated in the decree that having just received a position, it was inappropriate to rise too quickly; merits would be recorded for future accounting.
In other words, more merits in the future could count them as combined merits.
Moreover, Primordial Liquid is a treasure stored in the national treasury, similar in effect to the Bone and Muscle Gene Enhancer, though slightly less effective...
But with three bottles, in terms of quantity, it's significantly more.
In his battle with Roger before, Xu Lingjun had already discovered that combining the "Reversed Tao Qiankun" with "Reckless and Irresponsible," and further integrating it with his own "Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique," had something of the effect of Star Shifting.
Although the power was far, far greater...
After all, Star Shifting only redirected the enemy's qi force back at them.
But I directly absorb the enemy's qi force into my body, converting it into my own power, and then combine it with my power to unleash it with the momentum of "Reckless and Irresponsible."
No matter how strong the enemy is, the attack he suffers is from the sum of himself and me, and then squared...
However, the limitations of this move are significant.
The first is not to exceed his limits, otherwise, if the enemy's true qi enters his body, Xu Lingjun would be overwhelmed first... although the "Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique" is quite powerful, it's not omnipotent.
For example, Roger left Xu Lingjun quite taxed, taking over an hour post-battle to recover and heal strained meridians.
Hence, he eagerly welcomes any meridian-strengthening substances.
They increase his upper limits.
Secondly, to maximize the move's power, the enemy needs to go all out.
Otherwise, holding back causes Xu Lingjun to have no leverage, and post-strike, he would be left depleted, even with his physique, such reckless usage... leaves him temporarily combat ineffective.
Too many limitations.
But it could be considered a trump card, just like why Wu Hongzhou was so polite; isn't it because he couldn't figure out the manner of "Reversed Tao Qiankun?"
Ha, fool, scared by his own sect's martial arts.
That night.
Wang Qingya's dormitory.
On the windowsill.
A large and a small snowball were cuddling together for warmth ... In just a month, Xiaofu had grown a lot, now not much smaller than the Daxiong.
Both cats indeed shared a bloodline connection.
They are now quite affectionate.
Like Xu Lingjun and Wang Qingya, who sleep embracing each other.
"I'm leaving tomorrow."
Xu Lingjun gently caressed Wang Qingya's skin, which he was infatuated with, saying, "Things here have been concluded; tomorrow morning, I have to return to Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion."
Wang Qingya snuggled into Xu Lingjun's arms, asking, "Will you go back with them?"
"Yes, going back together."
This was a request from Liu Zhiyuan; apparently, he was concerned about Zhou Qianmo's emotional state.
After all, Han Yun City is now in the Imperial City; no matter how strong Zhou Qianmo is, doubling his strength might still not pose a threat. In such circumstances, there's worry Zhou Qianmo might be unable to suppress his anger against Xu Lingjun.
Despite pondering for long, Xu Lingjun did not explain to Liu Zhiyuan his suspicion of Roger Sparrow's potential connection with Zhou Qianmo, and the fact that Zhou Qianmo might now be fixated on a Deputy Sect Leader.
Having gained so much, he urgently needs copious Source Value to assimilate what he's garnered in the Imperial Capital.
Since luckily, Wu Hongzhou was willing to attract all the enmity ahead, he was glad to accept.
After all, whether publicly or privately, he indeed needed to leave.
Looking down at Wang Qingya, Xu Lingjun vaguely said, "Actually, I'm really not wanting to leave you..."
Wang Qingya smiled, saying, "I can visit you."
Xu Lingjun nodded, continuing to gaze at Wang Qingya, his gentle caressing of her soft skin turning slightly suggestive.
Wang Qingya seemed to sense something, softly saying, "I'll turn off the light."
"No need, I prefer it on..."
With some kicks here and there, the cumbersome blanket had already dropped to the floor.
In Xu Lingjun's view, hiding is meaningless; only honesty can showcase sincerity...
Since he planned to leave, he naturally had to indulge a bit before departing.
