At the entrance of the inn, Lu Qinghu was still in a daze as he watched the carriage pulled by the sweaty horse drive away. He could not come back to his senses for a long time.
"I have an inferior attack martial arts...and a bottle of Qi Gathering Powder that can help me break through the bottleneck?"
When the young man wrote out the unsavory attack on martial arts and handed it to him, he read it and found that it was indeed true.
Because of this, he knew that his choice was the right one...
For this young man, it is better to be a friend than an enemy.
"However, can this bottle of Qi Gathering Powder really help me break through the final bottleneck of the third level of Qi Gathering? If I can break through that bottleneck, I will be able to directly enter the fourth level of Qi Gathering!"
While muttering to himself, Lu Qinghu took out a small medicine bottle from his arms, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.
It wasn't that he didn't want to believe the boy, but that the boy's words were too scary.
As the first member of the three top poor families in Yunfeng County, he has a third level of Qi Gathering cultivation. He has already reached the extreme level of cultivation and is only one step away from reaching the fourth level of Qi Gathering.
However, that step has yet to be taken.
In fact, over the years, that step has become an insurmountable 'bottleneck'.
"No matter what, I have to give it a try... What if it's true?"
Although he didn't quite believe it, Lu Qinghu hurried back to the Lu family, went back to his room, took the Qi Gathering Powder given by the boy and went to practice.
"This Qi Gathering Powder... at least doubles the energy!"
After taking Qi Gathering Powder and practicing for a while, Lu Qinghu opened his eyes again, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
"I remember... even the best Qi Gathering Powder in Yunyang, prepared by the top-grade pharmacist from the royal family of Yunyang Kingdom, only doubled the Qi feeling, right?"
"And even that kind of Qi Gathering Powder, I, the Lu family, can't get... Otherwise, I would have already entered the fourth level of Qi Gathering."
"No wonder... no wonder he said that this bottle of Qi Gathering Powder can help me break through the bottleneck and enter the fourth level of Qi Gathering. It turns out that this is a bottle of Qi Gathering Powder that can double the sense of Qi!"
At this moment, Lu Qinghu no longer dared to doubt Zhou Donghuang's words.
Even if he takes a bottle of Qi Gathering Powder that doubles his Qi feeling, he is more than 70% sure of breaking through the bottleneck and entering the fourth level of Qi Gathering.
Now, after taking a bottle of Qi Gathering Powder that doubled the sense of Qi, if he still couldn't break through, he could commit suicide by hitting the wall.
One day and one night later.
"Hahahaha...hahahahahaha..."
A burst of hearty laughter spread far away from the courtyard where Lu Qinghu's room was located.
Soon, Lu Pinglan, the eldest elder of the Lu family, Lu Bao, the second elder of the Lu family, and two other Lu elders who lived nearby rushed over.
"I have broken through to the fourth level of Qi gathering."
When Lu Pinglan, Lu Bao and others rushed to the courtyard where Lu Qinghu lived, Lu Qinghu had also come out of the room and said to them with a bright smile.
"Congratulations, head of the family!"
"Congratulations, brother!"
Hearing Lu Qinghu's words, Lu Pinglan and others were startled at first, and then after realizing it, they all looked ecstatic.
The birth of a fourth-level Qi-gathering martial arts monk also means the birth of a prominent family.
From today on, the Lu family will become a prominent family!
"The first elder and the second brother are staying. Third elder, you go to the Fang family and ask the head of the Fang family to come over. Fourth elder, you go to the Ma family to ask the new head of the Ma family to come over."
As Lu Qinghu finished speaking, the two Lu elders took the order and left. When they left, they still had excitement on their faces.
After today, they are no longer the elders of a poor family.
They will become the elders of a distinguished family!
"Brother, why did you suddenly break through? As far as I know, you have been stuck at the third level of Qi gathering for many years, right?"
Although Lu Bao was extremely happy for his eldest brother's breakthrough, he still felt that his eldest brother's breakthrough was too sudden.
"Master, you stayed up all night yesterday to collect medicinal materials for Zhou Donghuang... Yesterday morning, you seemed to have gone to deliver those medicinal materials and banknotes to Zhou Donghuang?"
Lu Pinglan looked at Lu Qinghu with a look of uncertainty in her eyes, "Your breakthrough...couldn't...could it be related to him?"
"Great Elder, if it has nothing to do with him, why do you think I didn't break through at other times, but why did I break through at this time?"
Lu Qinghu asked with a smile.
After he finished speaking, before Lu Pinglan and Lu Bao could speak, he took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to them, "You all have a look."
Lu Pinglan and the other two took the piece of paper and were attracted by the words on it with just one glance.
""Little Sinking Sand Palm", are you not into the palm arts and martial arts?"
After a moment, after confirming that the text on the paper was indeed a low-level martial arts, both Lu Pinglan and Lu Bao's faces turned red because they were extremely excited.
"Master, this can't be..."
Lu Pinglan looked up at Lu Qinghu and spoke with some difficulty.
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Lu Qinghu, "Yes! This martial arts was given to me by Zhou Donghuang."
Obviously, Lu Qinghu also knew what Lu Pinglan wanted to ask next.
"In addition, the reason why I was able to successfully break through the bottleneck and enter the fourth level of Qi Gathering in just one day and one night is because he gave me a bottle of Qi Gathering Powder."
Lu Qinghu continued.
"He...could he even have the Qi Gathering Powder that the royal family's top-grade pharmacist prepared to double the energy?"
Lu Pinglan was shocked.
A Qi Gathering Powder that doubles the sense of Qi
Hearing Lu Pinglan's words, Lu Qinghu sneered a little. What the young master Donghuang gave him was not a Qi Gathering Powder that doubled his energy.
However, he didn't say much on this matter, because he knew that talking too much would lead to mistakes.
It's okay if you don't have a good martial arts knowledge, it's usually the standard equipment of a prominent family.
Even if a prominent family has no martial arts, a fourth-level Qi-gathering martial arts monk in the family can come forward and go to the prince's palace to seek an inferior martial arts.
Of course, you can only find an inferior offensive martial arts or an inferior defensive martial arts.
Only prominent families with martial arts monks at the fifth level of Qi Gathering can obtain unqualified martial arts skills from the royal palace.
However, the Qi Gathering Powder that doubles the sense of Qi is different.
Once exposed, even the royal family may not be able to sit still.
"Master Donghuang gave me such a precious bottle of Qi Gathering Powder to help me break through. It is a great favor... I will never harm him by spreading the news that he can produce such a precious Qi Gathering Powder."
This is what Lu Qinghu is thinking.
Not only Lu Pinglan, the eldest elder of the Lu family, he didn't even plan to tell his brother Lu Bao about this matter.
"From today on, anyone from the Lu family who dares to offend Young Master Donghuang, whether he is a collateral descendant or a direct descendant, will be... killed without mercy!!"
In front of Lu Pinglan and Lu Bao, Lu Qinghu expressed his stance in a deep voice.
…
Just when the Lu family became a famous family due to the birth of a fourth-level Qi-gathering martial arts monk, the entire Lu family mansion was decorated with lights and colors, showing a joyful atmosphere.
The atmosphere in the Li family's mansion, which is also a distinguished family, is at another extreme.
Just because the second young master of the Li family, 'Li Pingyun', died, and the ninth elder of the Li family, 'Li Yan', also died.
It's okay that Li Yan is dead. After all, he is only a third-level Qi-gathering martial arts monk. Moreover, with Li Yan's talent, there is basically no hope of reaching the fourth-level Qi-gathering level.
However, Li Pingyun is different.
As the son of the head of the Li family, 'Li Jingyu', Li Pingyun is extremely talented. If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely be able to reach the fourth level of Qi Gathering.
In addition, Li Pingyun, the second young master of the Li family, is also recognized as the next generation head of the Li family.
And just such a person is now dead.
"Who did it?"
In the spacious front yard of the Li family's mansion, Li Jingyu, the head of the Li family, looked at the bearded man kneeling on the ground. His voice was so cold that it seemed to make the temperature of the surrounding air drop several degrees.
Li Jingyu is a middle-aged man wearing a green robe, with a medium build, handsome appearance, and the majesty of a man who has been in power for a long time in his eyebrows.
Many elders of the Li family were also present, and their faces were very ugly.
Killing the second young master of their Li family is tantamount to giving their Li family a loud slap in the face in public. This is a great shame and humiliation!
In the distance, there are some children of the Li family watching the fun.
"The second young master... is dead?"
Li Rui was also among the children of the Li family who were watching the excitement. Now, her beauty was pale and she didn't want to believe that everything in front of her was true.
Second Young Master, how could he die
She also wanted to catch up with the second young master and fly on a branch like a phoenix...
When the second young master died, her dream was shattered.
"father!!"
Along with a heartbreaking scream, a figure rushed to the stinking corpse of Li Yan, the ninth elder of the Li family. It was Li Yan's son, Li Hui.
"The head of the family is... Zhou Donghuang! It's Zhou Donghuang, the owner of Yunxuan Restaurant in Qingshan Town!"
The bearded man said with a trembling voice: "It has been a while since he killed the second young master and the ninth elder. Because he was going to the county town, I dare not come back for fear of meeting him on the road."
"Although I can secretly come back alone to report the news, I am still worried that the bodies of the Second Young Master and the Ninth Elder will be eaten by wild beasts."
"It wasn't until today, when I saw his carriage leaving outside the county gate, that I dared to come back with the bodies of the second young master and the ninth elder."
said the bearded man.
"Zhou Donghuang?!"
Both Li Rui and Li Hui were stunned when the bearded man mentioned the name 'Zhou Donghuang'.
After a while, the two of them came to their senses and shouted in unison: "Impossible!!"
Their voices successfully attracted everyone's attention.
"Why isn't it possible?"
Li Jingyu looked at Li Hui with sharp eyes.
"The owner of the family, Zhou Donghuang, the owner of Yunxuan Restaurant in Qingshan Town, is just a useless person in martial arts... He has no ability to kill my father and the second young master."
Li Hui said: "Moreover, even if he is not a martial arts incompetent... Master, do you think a young man who has just turned seventeen is capable of killing my father and the second young master?"
Later, Li Hui asked Li Jingyu.
"Master!"
Seeing the suspicion flashing in Li Jingyu's eyes after hearing Li Hui's words, the bearded man suddenly became anxious, "I can swear to God, it was Zhou Donghuang himself who killed the second young master and the ninth elder!"
