Rise to God with Life Skill Professions

This time, he exchanged a large number of demon relics, totaling two hundred pieces, enough for him to use.

Without hesitation, Qin An headed to the Alchemy Master Alliance.

Demon relics alone were not enough; he had to fully utilize everything he could to refine a large number of composite pills to carry with him, aiming for perfection.

Soon, Qin An walked out of the Alchemy Master Alliance with the composite pills in hand.

After completing all this, he didn’t hesitate and rushed towards the southern border fortifications.

Qin An’s actions immediately caught the attention of the martial world forces in the capital city.

Everyone was speculating about the purpose of Qin An’s trip and what kind of bloodshed it might stir.

...

At the border fortifications, sand and dust filled the sky, presenting a harsh landscape.

This place was the most remote area of the Daqian Kingdom.

Here, watchtowers rose from the ground.

Each watchtower was built with the sturdiest materials.

These were the residences of the soldiers stationed at the border.

In the largest watchtower, a middle-aged man in armor sat in the main seat, raising a wine jar beside him and taking a fierce gulp.

"Prince, there’s no need for this. Since your return, you’ve been gloomy, entirely different from your previous personality."

"It’s just a minor setback; there’s no reason to be so downcast."

Marshal Liu spoke lightly, his tone carrying a hint of persuasion.

Beside him, the prince hung his head, face somber, saying nothing, as silent as a dead pond.

Since he lost the advantage on his last trip to the capital, he didn’t stay long in the capital and returned directly to the border.

Since returning to the border, he’s remained in this low mood.

In fact, anyone would react this way.

I’ve endured so many hardships at the border, gained so much support.

But I never thought it would all be undone in the capital.

He understood the root of all this lay with Qin An; hence, his resentment towards Qin An had reached its peak.

Marshal Liu spoke again to comfort him, and the prince finally regained his composure.

The prince shook his head and said, "I’ve given everything, yet couldn’t get what I wanted. Do you think I can be at ease?"

He had been at the border for a long time, mingling well with the people there.

Marshal Liu was one of his covert supporters.

Originally, he held the greatest power, backed by Marshal Liu and his inner circle.

But now, the inner circle seemed closer to Qin An.

Losing a major support, the fact that he can still sit here is quite a feat.

Marshal Liu shook his head and said, "You’re the ruler of the border, so you should know that border people are spirited. Your current state is entirely different from your previous lofty demeanor."

"If you keep this up, even I’ll be disappointed in you."

Border people are bold and fearless; they despise the prince’s current state.

Marshal Liu continued, "What’s Qin An alone going to do? What you lost, you can retrieve."

"Now the remnants of the previous dynasty have established a nation, and border friction will increase daily; this is your chance to make a name."

The prince took a deep breath and nodded, "Thank you, Uncle Liu, for the advice. Don’t worry, Uncle Liu, I’ll no longer be despondent. I’ll do my best at the border to reestablish my achievements."

He understood Marshal Liu’s intent, knowing this was his only path forward. So, he chose not to speak further, intent on rebuilding his accomplishments and turning all border conflicts into personal merit.

While they spoke, a soldier in armor walked into the room.

The soldier quickly approached Marshal Liu and whispered a few words.

Marshal Liu’s expression was originally indifferent, but hearing this, he clenched the wine jar tightly, his brows furrowing deeply.

After saying this, the soldier left, leaving only Marshal Liu and the prince.

The prince was unsure what had occurred, his eyes were filled with a hint of confusion.

At this moment, Marshal Liu spoke slowly.

"Your old adversary is about to arrive at the border with a special status for a so-called war oversight; it seems the border is about to become unsettled. What are your thoughts?"

"Of course, even if you have thoughts, I hope you won’t disrupt the border peace due to personal grudges."

Old adversary.

Special status?

Just hearing these titles, the prince knew who it was.

He clenched his fists, almost spatting the name from between clenched teeth.

"Qin An!"

He never expected Qin An to come to the border.

But he quickly contained his emotions, raised his fists, and said:

"Don’t worry, Uncle Liu; I know what’s more important. As long as Qin An doesn’t trouble me, I’ll focus solely on building my merits."

Marshal Liu nodded, "It’s good you understand this. I know his purpose in coming; it’s because Your Majesty is uneasy with us, which is quite normal."

"After all, among our high ranks are remnants of the previous dynasty, and with the border being so vital, those remnants have begun to stir, so Your Majesty’s concern is natural."

"He can come here, but he must not interfere with my affairs. If he disrupts my plans, I won’t care about his envoy status."

The prince’s forehead broke into a sweat.

He knew Marshal Liu was one of the founding heroes and had a very volatile temper.

If Marshal Liu truly wanted to deal with Qin An, even Qin An’s envoy status wouldn’t save him.

After saying this, Marshal Liu stopped talking, waved his sleeve, and continued drinking the strong liquor he held.

The sandstorm persisted, the border remained calm yet turbulent as always.

...

Qin An was on the official road, getting closer to the border.

Nothing had happened along the way.

He traveled smoothly.

Given his current status, he was unimpeded across the Daqian Kingdom.

Not far ahead, the outline of the border fortifications was faintly visible.

Just as Qin An was about to reach the border, an anomaly suddenly occurred.

The previously calm official road started trembling, followed by several figures suddenly emerging from the road surface.

The figures appeared abruptly, even taking Qin An by surprise.

As soon as these figures appeared, they brandished their sharp blades, lunging at Qin An.

At that moment, sitting in the carriage, Qin An couldn’t react in time; he could only swiftly turn the horse to block in between.

A terrifying roar echoed, the horse was torn into pieces, but it blocked for just a moment.

Taking advantage of that brief moment, brilliant light erupted from Qin An’s body.

Another roar sounded, Qin An flew backward, landing firmly on the official road.

Cracks appeared on the light surrounding him.

He hadn’t expected an assassination attempt on the official road, and the enemy’s concealment techniques were so exquisite that even he hadn’t noticed.

Frowning, Qin An looked at the masked figures in black attire, and casually drew Cold Star.

But as he drew Cold Star, the surrounding scenery changed.

In the previously empty air, several figures suddenly appeared.

All dressed in black, wielding weapons, they attacked Qin An’s vital points from all directions.

"More than one."

Qin An closed his eyes, as a sense of danger blossomed in his mind.

These assassins, almost everyone possessed Unity Realm Perfection strength, and were absolutely independent of any martial world forces or betrayers.

For they were human, not Demon Pseudo-Gods, nor were they from the Forbidden Area.

Qin An didn’t have time to consider who was behind this; he raised his hand, employing the Three Blades Unite technique.

A terrifying roar echoed, several assassins hit by the Three Blades Unite technique immediately spat blood and collapsed on the ground, lifeless.

But more assassins surged in like a tidal wave.
