Town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He headed back in the direction of Black Tiger Fortress, located outside of Qingshi Town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, early in the morning,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>when the sky had not yet fully brightened,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and a thick mist still lingered in the air,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>atop a hill outside Qingshi Town, within a rather large mountain stronghold,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>there sat Zhao Hong, the second son of the Zhao Family, quietly on a wooden armchair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next to him lay a blade that seemed to have undergone countless forging processes, a grade higher than the Hundred-Forged Steel Knife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him sat a scholarly-looking man with a pallid face and a mediocre appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gao Qi, I don’t know why, but I’ve been feeling rather uneasy,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand all of my brother’s strategies,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“and I am aware of the ambitions and dreams he harbors in his heart,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If everything could go according to the best possible plan, using Qingshi Town as a base, expanding our influence gradually in all directions,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“then certainly, there would be nothing better.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But if…” As he spoke, Zhao Hong couldn’t help hesitating, “What if we fail?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Hong silently turned his head, his face tinged with worry, and spoke in a low voice to Gao Qi beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Qi did not immediately answer the question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply silently picked up the cup of hot tea next to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He brought the tea to his lips and took a sip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allowing the slightly scalding liquid to pass through his throat and into his stomach,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he then slowly exhaled, turned his head, and calmly said to Zhao Hong beside him, “Brother Zhao, we will not fail.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As long as the over two thousand strong and blade-wielding young men of Black Tiger Fortress surge into Qingshi Town,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As long as we can lock down Qingshi Town completely in the shortest time possible,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Trap all the officials inside their homes,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“we will have achieved half our goal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The other half depends on the Luo Family, one of the four great families of Qingshi Town.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Luo Family has always been the sworn enemy of the Zhao Family, and they control the other half of the Qingshi ore veins outside of Qingshi Town.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If only we could wipe out the Luo Family, kill the chicken to warn the monkeys, and take control of all the ore veins they hold, our mission would be accomplished.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Qi’s voice was not loud, even somewhat weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet such a speech always managed to bring endless courage and boldness to Zhao Hong’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If that’s the case, let’s proceed as planned,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I will mobilize all the vigorous young men from Black Tiger Fortress,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gao Qi, wait here for a moment,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Said Zhao Hong, the second son of the Zhao Family, who possessed Bone Refinement Perfection realm skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He straightened up and walked out of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Zhao Hong’s figure gradually faded into the distance until it disappeared from Gao Qi’s sight,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Qi’s composed face began to show traces of contemplation and a shade of worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could this really succeed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Qi did not dare to guarantee it one hundred percent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only say that the likelihood of success was about ninety percent, or even slightly more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mobilizing the young men of Black Tiger Fortress to enter Qingshi Town was not a difficult task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And locking away all the officials in their homes was not hard either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing giving Gao Qi pause was the Luo Family, one of the four great families of Qingshi Town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ancestor of the Luo Family, named Luo Changfeng, was indeed somewhat peculiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just yesterday, when he was on the Luo Family Ancestral Land, he even met with the physician Wang Kun, who was within the Zhao Family grounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had asked Wang Kun why he had made such a judgment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>why he claimed that the Ancestor of the Luo Family was certain to meet his end within half a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The answer given by Wang Kun was very certain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Kun said that in his decades of practicing medicine, he had seen people numbered in the tens of thousands,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>those who were at the end of their lives, half in the grave already,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Wang Kun was no stranger to such cases.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Wang Kun’s judgment was wholly reliant on his decades of experience in practicing medicine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that being the case, a question arises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why has the ancestor of the Luo Family still not passed away to this day?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did his cultivation break through to the Organ Refinement Realm, extending his life by twenty years?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or did the Ancestor of the Luo Family take some kind of Spirit Pill that can prolong life?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alternatively, was every sign that the Ancestor of the Luo Family’s time was near all a disguise?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering these three possibilities, Gao Qi dared not make a hasty decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the one thing he could be certain of was this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of the three possibilities, the first one was probably the least likely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one were to judge in terms of percentages, the first possibility would not exceed one percent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, above Bone Refinement Perfection is Viscera Refinement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet in reality, it is not so easy to break through to the Organ Refinement Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, as one ages, qi and blood will gradually deplete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cultivation will also decline with the passage of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under such circumstances, how could the Ancestor of the Luo Family possibly force a breakthrough to the Organ Refinement Realm with his frail and aged body?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Second in command? Second in command?!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Gao Qi was furrowing his brow, pondering over the answer to this question,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a robust young man from within the Black Tiger Fortress suddenly trotted into the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bowing slightly, he said softly to Gao Qi, “Second in command, the boss says everything is ready, and we’re just waiting on you…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everything is ready?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Qi silently raised his head, looking at the fortress’s robust young man in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood up, stretching his body a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he walked straight out of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Tiger Fortress, located in a deep mountain not far from Qingshi Town,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was exceedingly hidden and strategically positioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed to be set up for further development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby the fortress, many fields had also been cleared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come next spring, they could start planting crops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In doing so, not only could they be self-sufficient, but they could also produce plenty of food to continue expanding the fortress’s power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was somewhat regrettable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that these newly cleared fields would no longer be needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Tiger Fortress, where over two thousand young men wielding brand-new steel knives were gathered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There stood Zhao Hong, the current leader of the Black Tiger Fortress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood quietly on a somewhat crude platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Two thousand strong young men doesn’t seem like a lot,” he thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But now, seeing it with my own eyes…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve realized that these two thousand plus men are indeed numerous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atop the platform, Zhao Hong, clad in a dark red suit of iron armor, watched silently over the two thousand plus men, some in leather armor, some in wooden armor, and others in iron armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t help but murmur to himself with a hint of emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gao Qi!” Suddenly, Zhao Hong turned his head, speaking in a very serious tone to Gao Qi beside him, “There are not many people I trust. My brother Zhao Wu is one, and you are another.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, before we set off, I want to ask you one last time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can our Zhao Family really succeed this time?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Hong’s voice floated away with the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The intensity of his gaze was so potent that it made Gao Qi somewhat uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lie to Zhao Hong again, to reassure him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Qi suddenly found that he no longer felt able to do such a thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no other choice, he could only tell the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“On this continent, there’s nothing that is certain to succeed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So for what we’re about to do, I think… there’s probably a ninety percent chance of success!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ninety percent?” Hearing this, Zhao Hong silently nodded his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Gao Qi said there was a ninety percent chance of success,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>then he would go ahead and take that chance!!!\u003C\u002Fp>",1396,"2026-06-03T12:43:46.723Z","2026-06-03T12:43:39.762Z",1,"novelbin.me","68e165dc39178bd2ccdeb99ad7ae6ba51544d63cec9f62f31888cbf2d4f4521f","immortality-cultivation-i-can-increase-my-stats--chapter-393","immortality-cultivation-i-can-increase-my-stats--chapter-35",2094,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimmortality-cultivation-i-can-increase-my-stats--cover.jpg"]
