Chapter 25: Banquet

Looking at the panel, Qin Jiang frowned slightly. In fact, two days ago, the experience points of the Iron Arm Fist had already reached 199, but this last point just couldn't be broken through.

He was also hesitating whether to use potential points to break through.

It was just that in these ten days, the potential points provided by that jade pendant had decreased significantly, perhaps not reaching the level of two points.

During these days, he had also searched the market for objects that might contain potential points, but so far he had found nothing.

He had also gone to places like mass graves to wander around, but had no harvest; potential points were not easily generated.

Relying on his own searching was still too slow.

He had to find a time to go to Li Yuanwai's house.

Sighing, if today's medicine bath still couldn't let him break through, then he would use potential points; he couldn't just keep dragging it out.

Since his rebirth, whether it was monsters, that Yellow Heaven Sect, or the "weird artifacts" mentioned by the old physician's old demon lover, all made him feel very insecure.

Shaking his head slightly, he swept the food on the table into his stomach.

Unlike when practicing the Five Animal Frolics, after practicing the Iron Arm Fist, his appetite increased greatly; this meal alone was enough to equal his entire day's food intake before.

A moment later, he wiped away the medicinal liquid on his arms, revealing lean, slightly grayish skin.

The efficacy of the old physician's Ancient Bronze Pill had also weakened with his training these days.

However, there was no longer that feeling of being weak; now he was tall, with strong muscles, not much worse than the Li Lang brothers.

"Master Qin?" The waiter who had just delivered the food pushed the door open and poked his head in.

"What's wrong?" Qin Jiang asked.

The waiter walked in. "Just now, the owner of the Liu Family Blacksmith Shop sent word, saying their owner invites you to go over."

Qin Jiang was somewhat surprised. Liu Yize? Why is he looking for me? "I understand."

The waiter responded, collected the plates, and left, and Qin Jiang also put on his clothes and went out.

After wandering around, he still had no harvest, so he went directly to the Liu Family Blacksmith Shop.

"Master, you're here. The owner has already given instructions; you can go directly to the backyard, he's there."

It was still that waiter; he had never known what the other party was called.

Arriving at the backyard, Liu Yize stood with his hands behind his back in the center of the courtyard. In front of him, supported by two iron piers, was a four-meter-long great spear, as thick as a baby's arm.

It was pitch black, with flame-like blood-red patterns, especially the spear tip, which looked like it was dripping blood.

"Brother Qin! Come, come!"

Seeing Qin Jiang arrive, Liu Yize waved excitedly, unable to hide his joy.

Qin Jiang walked up close, looking at the great spear. "Is this the Blood Flame Golden Spear you mentioned?"

Liu Yize nodded with a smile. "Exactly! Although it hasn't been sharpened or undergone the final quenching."

"But even so, it is a rare divine weapon! I dare say, in the entire Black Mountain City, there is no great spear that can compare to it!"

As he spoke, he looked at Qin Jiang. "How about it? Want to try it out?"

Qin Jiang raised his eyebrows and laughed. "Why not?"

After saying that, he gripped the hilt of the Blood Flame Golden Spear with his right hand and lifted it with a slight force.

*Clang! *

The Blood Flame Golden Spear was lifted a little and then fell heavily, making a sound of metal clashing.

Qin Jiang looked at the Blood Flame Golden Spear in his hand with some surprise. So heavy? At least a hundred catties!

Gripping the hilt with both hands, he exerted force, lifted the Blood Flame Golden Spear, jumped a few steps, and swung it directly.

*Whoosh—! Whoosh—! * Although there was no technique, relying solely on Qin Jiang's strength at this time and the weight of the Blood Flame Golden Spear itself, it looked quite vigorous.

*Bang! * A moment later, Qin Jiang placed the Blood Flame Golden Spear on the iron pier, his breath slightly short.

This spear was too heavy; he was a bit strained using it.

Liu Yize to the side was slightly shocked, not expecting that Qin Jiang would only be slightly out of breath after swinging it for so long. "How does it feel?" he asked with a smile.

"Good weapon! If an ordinary martial artist were hit by this, they would be dead or injured!"

This wasn't boasting. With Qin Jiang's strength at this time, if he were to face himself when he had mastered the third layer of the Five Animal Frolics, he would be able to win completely in less than ten moves.

If he had this Blood Flame Golden Spear in hand, perhaps one move would be enough to severely injure him!

"Haha! Brother Qin's strength is extraordinary! This Blood Flame Golden Spear weighs one hundred and forty catties, and only experts like the County Lieutenant can use it as easily as an arm. Brother Qin being able to use this spear to this extent already makes me feel ashamed," Liu Yize laughed.

"Come, I've prepared tea, let's go inside and talk."

Entering the room, the two sat opposite each other, and Liu Yize poured tea for Qin Jiang.

"Brother Qin, I invited you here this time, actually, it can be considered as acting on someone's behalf," he said.

"Acting on someone's behalf?" Qin Jiang was somewhat puzzled.

"It's the County Lieutenant. In three days, I will send this Blood Flame Golden Spear to the County Lieutenant's mansion, and the County Lieutenant also wants to hold a banquet for this," Liu Yize said.

"Then what does that have to do with me?" Qin Jiang asked.

"It doesn't have much to do with it, but the County Lieutenant mentioned yesterday that he wanted you to go see the world. I had no choice; I couldn't reject the County Lieutenant's face," Liu Yize said.

Qin Jiang nodded slightly. "I was wondering what it was; no problem. I just happened to want to go to the inner city to wander around, and going together would save trouble."

In fact, he had always wanted to go to the antique shops in the inner city, but it was very troublesome for people in the outer city to enter the inner city, so he had never had the opportunity.

Now, taking the opportunity of delivering the spear was just right, and there was no need to make up any excuses.

Liu Yize laughed when he heard this. Originally, he was afraid that Qin Jiang would find it troublesome and not want to go, and then he wouldn't know how to explain it to the County Lieutenant.

Now it seemed he had thought too much.

However, looking at it this way, Brother Qin was probably not a child of a great family, just an outer city person with extraordinary aptitude.

That was fine too; he really regarded Qin Jiang as a friend. If the other party were a child of a great family, it would be difficult to open up.

A moment later, Qin Jiang stood up. "Brother Liu, there's a medicine bath in the afternoon, so I won't stay long. Goodbye."

"Please, Brother Qin. If you have leisure time, you can come here to sit for a long time."

After leaving the Liu Family Blacksmith Shop, Qin Jiang searched again without giving up, but still had no harvest, so he had no choice but to go for the medicine bath first.

"Brother Jiang, haven't seen you for a few days, your body has become much stronger?" Li Bo said with a smile.

"It's the growth period; I've been eating more, so naturally I've gained some flesh," Qin Jiang laughed.

Li Bo nodded silently when he heard "growth period." He just remembered that Qin Jiang didn't seem to have reached the age of twenty yet.

Thinking back to his own age of twenty, he seemed to have just mastered the Iron Arm Fist.

Walking into the courtyard, the students who saw Qin Jiang couldn't help but look sideways. A few days ago, Qin Jiang thought it was troublesome to go back and forth, so he moved a wooden stake back.

After a few days of not seeing him, they didn't know what stage Qin Jiang had reached at all.

Because Qin Jiang's strength improvement speed was really too fast!

Perhaps, it wouldn't take a month or two to break through to the second layer, right? *Tap, tap*, he walked to the house and knocked.

The door opened, and Wang Minglang was copying the Iron Arm Fist secret manual; more people had come to apprentice in the past few days, and the previous stock was not enough.

"Do as you please, wait until I finish writing this one before the medicine bath," he said.

Waiting for a moment, Wang Minglang put down the pen in his hand and rubbed his eyes.

"Really old, my eyes aren't good anymore. It's better for you young people!"

Qin Jiang smiled slightly. "Uncle Wang, you're still strong in your old age, why are you admitting you're old?"

Wang Minglang shook his head with a smile, lit his pipe, and took a puff. "Can't help but admit I'm old; I've already retired from the Red Tiger Gang, isn't that just being old and useless?"

Speaking of this, his gaze was somewhat lonely. After two seconds of silence, he laughed loudly. "Hahahaha, don't talk about this, let's go, medicine bath for you!"
