Chapter 794 - 664: Butcher Blacksmith Transformation_2
Qin An closed his eyes, absorbed all the information, and then opened his eyes.
He lifted the Cold Star Saber, Void Essence flowing over it, and casually swung it.
A powerful aura circulated along the blade, making this strike several times stronger than before.
Moreover, it could be combined with his foundation, increasing its power even more.
Qin An came to his senses, his eyes calm, and opened the second Fist Skill manual.
The Fist Skill was called Celestial Essence Fist, which also was a fist skill based on foundation.
Now Qin An already had a plan; in the future, he would use foundation as the condition for advancement
If it did not align with the supreme foundation, it would not be adopted.
Very soon, Qin An finished reading this Fist Skill and began practicing in the room.
As Qin An practiced, smoke floated in the air, forming words.
[You cultivated the Celestial Essence Fist, triggering the corresponding talent]
[Celestial Essence Fist (Great Success)]
"Boom!"
A rumbling sound erupted, and within a moment, Qin An comprehended it thoroughly.
He did not pause and instead began cultivating the Formless and Shapeless Origin Godslaying Fist.
When the Fist Skill was executed, the smoke burst aside, transforming into new words.
[You possess the Formless and Shapeless Origin Godslaying Fist and Celestial Essence Fist, attempting to fuse the two, but the talent is insufficient, fusion failed]
[You still have an abundant store of demonic reserves, unafraid of exhausting them, and began crazily burning your vital energy]
[After burning a large amount of vital energy, a thread of insight was birthed in your mind]
[But this thread of insight was not sufficient to merge the strengths of the two]
[You thought for a moment, burned more vital energy again, with large amounts of vital energy burning, the insight in your mind gradually deepened]
[When the insight magnified to a certain extent, you finally united the two, creating a new Fist Skill]
[You named the new Fist Skill Formless and Shapeless Origin Celestial Essence Fist]
[Formless and Shapeless Origin Celestial Essence Fist (Great Success)]
"Boom!"
Another terrifying rumbling erupted.
After the rumbling sounded, a vast amount of information rushed into Qin An’s mind like a tsunami.
Qin An closed his eyes, and moments later, after absorbing all the information, he opened his eyes.
He attempted to throw a punch, all constructed supreme foundation seemed to receive an order, surging towards his fists.
This punch, its power could be said to have increased severalfold, coupled with the supreme foundation, its power was even greater.
Moreover, Qin An could also burn vital energy, using it as a guide, to elevate the Fist Skill’s power another notch.
"Next, it will be the professions of dancer and healer," Qin An clenched his fists, thinking to himself.
Aside from Array Master and Pill Master without cultivation technique inference, body technique and protective method remain.
Qin An plans to first cultivate the dancer and healer and then infer the body technique and protection method.
Once all cultivation techniques have been inferred to the Unity Realm Great Success, he can continue to transform Array Master and Pill Master, allowing all professions to achieve transformation.
At that time, he will consider advancing to the Manifest Saint Realm.
Of course, that is still far away; Qin An plans to take it step by step.
"First enhance the dancer," Qin An thought to himself, "The healer profession is also easily enhanced; after all, at the frontier, people are often injured, so there’s no worry."
Having made up his mind, Qin An planned to immediately cultivate the dancer profession.
But at this moment, a slight sense of unease emerged in Qin An’s heart.
This sense was very subtle; if not felt carefully, it would be absolutely imperceptible.
Qin An glanced down at the ground, a solemn look flickering in his eyes, as he slightly tightened his fingers around the Cold Star Saber hilt.
This uneasy feeling originated from the ground beneath his feet, or more accurately, from the Dragon Vein.
He had extracted a thread of Dragon Vein Power twice, and already could identify the feeling of the Dragon Vein.
The Dragon Vein symbolized the nation’s fate, also representing the power of the Daqian Kingdom.
An uneasy feeling from the Dragon Vein indicated trouble for the Daqian Kingdom.
Qin An didn’t hesitate and used his feet as an Array, activating the Void Essence within.
When the Void Essence was activated, it surged towards the underground.
Soon, Qin An understood why this was a bad omen.
The reason was a thread of the Dragon Vein below had vanished.
The Dragon Vein wouldn’t disappear suddenly; there must be something abnormal, and being at the frontier, it might be connected to it, or worse, related to remnants of the previous dynasty.
Qin An didn’t think much and headed towards where Marshal Liu was.
Since there was trouble, he would inform the person in charge here, as for what to do, with Marshal Liu’s experience, he would surely handle it well.
...
Inside the largest room.
Marshal Liu took a swig of strong wine, wiping the corner of his mouth, looking at the Great Prince: "Not bad, you’ve recently been diligent in cultivation and started getting back on the right track."
He admired the Great Prince and was naturally very gratified to see him getting back on track.
Before this, he did indeed have some feelings of disappointment.
The Great Prince clasped his hands and said, "Uncle Liu, rest assured, I will pull myself together again."
Though that was what he said, the thoughts in the Great Prince’s mind were different.
It’s not that he didn’t want to trouble Qin An, but he couldn’t find the opportunity.
Ever since Qin An arrived at the camp, he stayed in the kitchen and blacksmith shop, giving no chance.
With no other option, he was preoccupied with military affairs to distract himself.
Marshal Liu raised the wine jar again, taking a deep swig.
He was about to say something.
At this moment, footsteps sounded outside the door.
A soldier entered the room, clasped his hands, and saluted: "Marshal, Mr. Qin seeks an audience."
Upon hearing these words, the Great Prince’s expression froze, his fingers clenching into a fist within his sleeve.
Marshal Liu glanced around and said indifferently: "Let him in."
He was curious why Qin An came by.
After all, recently, Qin An had indeed been oddly quiet, and Liu even thought it was intentional on Qin An’s part.
Since he came today, he might as well see him, especially since Qin An’s Special Envoy status was given by Emperor Xuanwu himself.
The soldier left the room and soon returned, bringing Qin An with him.
Qin An raised an eyebrow slightly, surprised to see the Great Prince as well.
But considering the relationship between the Great Prince and Marshal Liu, Qin An found it quite normal.
The Great Prince turned silent, only staring at Qin An.
Marshal Liu opened his mouth: "Mr. Qin, what urgent matter brings you here?"
Qin An did not waste words and directly said: "There is something abnormal with the Dragon Vein, a thread has vanished, potentially related to remnants of the previous dynasty. I hope Marshal Liu can investigate and clarify the situation."
Marshal Liu frowned: "You say... you can sense the Dragon Vein?"
He was somewhat puzzled.
How could Qin An sense the Dragon Vein?
Qin An wasted no words, straightforwardly said: "I have the ability of an Array Master and can manipulate the earth veins; therefore, being able to sense the Dragon Vein that belongs to the earth veins is natural."
Upon hearing this, Marshal Liu displayed a look of realization.
If that was the case, he certainly had to investigate.
After all, it concerns the Dragon Vein, which is related to the Daqian Kingdom’s safety, affecting the entire populace.
If it started with the frontier, the responsibility falls squarely on his shoulders.
Considering this, Marshal Liu was prepared to call upon the best in the military to gather information about the remnants of the previous dynasty.
As for how to gather the information, he naturally had his methods.
Being at the frontier for so long, it was inconceivable not to have any informers.
Just before Marshal Liu could speak, a voice abruptly sounded, filled with rage.
"How dare you!"
The Great Prince abruptly stood, eyes blazing with anger: "Qin An, you are unbelievably bold, wanting to spy on the Dragon Vein, even spewing nonsense about it being damaged. If this news is true, isn’t it you who has damaged it?"
Qin An slightly raised his eyebrow, surprised that the Great Prince would make trouble at this time.
However, it was understandable; after all, the blows he dealt with him and the Second Prince weren’t trivial.
The Great Prince turned and clasped his hands: "Uncle Liu, please first ascertain if it was Qin An’s doing."
Marshal Liu furrowed his brow, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.
He didn’t expect that the Great Prince, out of revenge, would do something so lacking in etiquette.
After all, being a Marshal, and Qin An a Special Envoy, the Great Prince was not in a position to speak.
The Great Prince still wanted to say something.
He couldn’t hold back; even if Qin An wasn’t seized, at least he wanted to save face by embarrassing him a bit.
But at this moment, a gust of wind interrupted the Great Prince’s next words.
"Slap!"
A crisp sound echoed, filling the whole room.
The Great Prince’s cheek quickly swelled.
Qin An withdrew his hand, his eyes cold: "To affront a Special Envoy, the prerogative is to execute first and report later, do you really want to die?"
