Chapter 138: Purple Mansion Insight Scripture

A slightly reddish luster covered the surface of the karst cave. The Golden Jade Pavilion Master looked in the direction of the light source, and a patch of crimson entered his eyes.

His eyes flickered. Magma?

No, it's an illusion... Flame Valley?! This is Flame Valley! Realization dawned at the bottom of his eyes. No wonder he hadn't been able to find the location of the Qin Clan Secret Treasury after searching for so long; it turned out it was hidden here! Thinking of this, he felt somewhat ashamed and annoyed; he hadn't expected this Qin Clan Secret Treasury to have been hidden under his nose for so many years!

Looking around, he gazed at the high platform. He knew that was where the Eight-Turn Golden Image Technique should have been placed.

And now, there was nothing left.

Huai Wang lifted his hand slightly, and specks of fluorescent blue light emerged, gradually gathering toward his palm.

A moment later, a translucent book appeared in his hand.

Waving his hand, the book transformed into light points and spread out, forming a patch of floating text.

"This... this is the Eight-Turn Golden Image Technique!"

The Golden Jade Pavilion Master said in shock, his gaze shifting back and forth between the light text and Huai Wang.

With such means, His Highness's strength... Huai Wang pointed lightly, then swiped slightly, and several places in the martial arts technique were marked separately, with annotations of the defects on the side.

"Don't let me down," he said softly.

The Golden Jade Pavilion Master's eyes were excited. Everything Huai Wang had done was enough to increase his chances of winning against the Longevity Sect Master by thirty percent!

"Yes! Your Highness!"

A few days later, Qin Mansion.

Qin Jiang lay in the courtyard, Xu Yanran gently massaging his temples.

This courtyard was set up by Qin Hong. Now that Qin Jiang had a family, it was natural for him to have a mansion.

"When does Husband intend to go to the Prefecture City?" Xu Yanran asked.

Qin Jiang opened his eyes. "No rush, rest for a few days before setting off."

He had already asked people to collect antiques and old objects, so a few days didn't matter.

"Go with me when the time comes," he said.

Xu Yanran nodded and smiled. "That's natural, don't even think about shaking me off this time."

It wasn't just because of Qin Jiang; originally, she had planned to try to develop toward the Prefecture City after gaining a firm foothold in Ning'an.

After all, staying in a corner wasn't her personality.

Now, with Qin Jiang's might in Ning'an, she was no longer needed, and it was enough to develop step by step.

She didn't need to worry about her father's side either; no one would be so foolish as to go looking for trouble.

*Tap! Tap! Tap! * Footsteps sounded, and Qin Hong led Long An into the courtyard.

"Fourth Master!" Long An shouted.

Qin Jiang propped himself up slightly. "What's wrong? In such a rush?"

Long An walked up close and grinned. "Nothing! Family Head asked me to summarize some recent things and hand them to you."

As he spoke, he handed a booklet to Qin Jiang.

Qin Jiang took the booklet and flipped through it. Besides the remnants of the Liu and Si family forces, many others had been rooted out, all of them elite figures in various trades.

When he flipped to the end, his eyes curled. The Phoenix Pavilion is gone? Wouldn't Third Senior Brother be sad? "Anything else?" Closing the booklet, he asked.

Long An smiled upon hearing this. "There is one more thing, Third Master asked me to bring to you, saying he reopened a brothel at the original location of the Phoenix Pavilion, and there are thirty thousand taels of silver you invested in it."

Qin Jiang nodded slightly... Hm? He looked up at Long An, but Long An had already fled out of the courtyard as if escaping.

Xu Yanran's hands placed gently on his shoulders to massage, wisps of green fire fluttering. "Husband's business acumen is also quite good."

"Ah, is it? Hahahaha."

Three days later, Ancient Dragon Pavilion.

Qin Jiang put down the bronze fragment in his hand, his gaze falling on the panel.

【Current Martial Arts】

God Demon True Canon (Consummated) 【98%】 Imperial Court Shanghua True Canon (Consummated) 【85%】 【Potential Points: 5625.6】

It had to be said that compared to the ruins of the Ancient Yu Kingdom, the Potential Points contained in these antiques and old objects he collected were still less.

However, the ruins of the Ancient Yu Kingdom were truly too rare. He hadn't failed to collect some maps of Ancient Yu Kingdom ruins these past few days.

But after searching for them, they were either already ruins, or the locations marked on the maps were fake. "Fourth Master, basically everything that can be collected in a short time is here. The rest will require time to collect slowly," shopkeeper Li Sheng said.

"Not bad, prepare a quiet room for me," Qin Jiang said.

"Eh, Fourth Master, please wait."

A moment later, Qin Jiang was led by Li Sheng to a quiet room.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, his gaze fell on the panel.

【Detected that 'Imperial Court Shanghua True Canon' has reached the limit of martial arts. Do you wish to consume 3000 Potential Points for deduction?】

'Yes,' he thought silently in his heart.

【Deducing... Deduction complete.】

【Purple Mansion Insight Scripture (First Layer) (1/8000) 【89%】】

【Potential Points: 2625.6】

*Hum~~* With a hum, a purple light gushed out from Qin Jiang's brow, then transformed into an air current that swirled around him.

A moment later, Qin Jiang opened his eyes slowly, a touch of purple flashing and disappearing.

Purple Mansion Insight Scripture, another high-level Secret Martial Art with eight layers, its grade probably not below the Eight-Turn Golden Image Technique.

Looking around, in a field of vision that only he could see, wisps of thin purple air currents were continuously entering his body.

Is this Innate Purple Qi?

A substance related to True Gods mentioned in records.

Feeling his own body carefully, that feeling of a bottleneck gradually receded with the influx of purple Qi, and his physical body was becoming stronger.

This meant that even if he didn't go to the Prefecture City of Yuan Prefecture, he could still improve his strength without Divine Martial.

Looking at it this way, this Purple Mansion Insight Scripture was not below the Eight-Turn Golden Image Technique; it probably wasn't much worse than the God Demon True Canon.

Without hesitation, he poured the remaining Potential Points into the Purple Mansion Insight Scripture.

【Purple Mansion Insight Scripture (First Layer) (1/8000) 【89%】, Experience +91999】

【Purple Mansion Insight Scripture (Consummated)】

【Detected that 'Purple Mansion Insight' has reached the limit of Mysterious Grade martial arts. Do you wish to consume 6000 Potential Points for Mysterious Grade martial arts leap-evolution deduction?】

【Potential Points: 1705.6】

*Swish! * A purple Qi torrent emerged in the void, pouring into his body from Qin Jiang's brow. Purple light streams danced rapidly around him, gradually filling up from the position where he sat cross-legged.

A moment later, his body was wrapped in purple light, transforming into a half-person-high light cocoon.

*Click*, *Click*, *Click*

Crisp sounds came out, and cracks appeared on the light cocoon.

*Bang*! With a crisp sound, the light cocoon exploded, transforming into sky-filling purple fluorescence. Qin Jiang's body rose slowly, and a thin purple line appeared on his brow.

*Whoosh*~ After a few breaths, he slowly exhaled a breath of purple Qi, his figure landing on the ground, but the thin purple line on his brow did not disappear.

Clenching his fist slightly, an indescribable feeling of comfort came from all over his body, making him unable to help but reveal a smile.

Compared to before, his physical body had not only been improved—no, saying improved was not rigorous enough; it should be sublimation.

If he could only see the Source Qi wandering between heaven and earth before, then now, he could see things at a deeper level.

*Click! *

Pointing his fingers forward, a tiny space crack appeared.

Now, he no longer needed to rely on brute force to shatter space; just a casual movement was enough to follow the laws of heaven and earth to sever space.

It could be said that his physical body had reached an unimaginable level!

At least, the Divine Martial realm he knew did not have this ability.

This was not something possessed after martial arts reached a certain level, but more like a talent originating from the physical body.

Contemplating for a moment, he couldn't explain it clearly, so he simply stopped thinking about it. If there was a chance in the future, he could look up some strange records and flip through them; he might be able to find some relevant records.

His gaze looked out the window, toward the direction of the Prefecture City of Yuan Prefecture.

With this matter settled, it was time to set off.

Uh, two chapters today, the writer's block is too painful, sitting in front of the computer feeling like a wooden block. (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 139 =====
