Chapter 162: Martial Dao Infusion, Li Qingqing's New Talent

After Zui Xiaoyao left.

It took Ye Sanjian a long time to neutralize the Sword Qi from Zui Xiaoyao that had made him feel as if ten thousand arrows were piercing his heart.

However, it is worth mentioning that after regaining his ability to move, he did not immediately go to treat his wounds.

"Disciple, you heard me, didn't you?"

"Your master needs your help!"

His gaze was fixed upon the despondent Shangguan Yijian!

"Waiting for Ye Bai to clear the 69th floor of the Tongtian Tower is still not safe enough."

"What your master worries about most is not that he is hiding his true strength."

"It is that he has just attained the combat power of a Sixth-Grade Grandmaster Realm, yet at the critical moment of life and death, he could actually counter-kill me, a Half-step Martial King!"

"Therefore, your master needs you to be one step ahead of him and clear the 69th floor of the Tongtian Tower!"

Every time Ye Sanjian prepared a trap, he adhered to the principle of ensuring absolute success.

He would use the strongest chess piece he could possibly deploy!

If it weren't for the loyal subordinates of the Tianyu Two Saints watching him back then, he, the number one Grandmaster of Jiangnan Prefecture, would have already descended upon Jiangcheng three years ago the moment he learned of Ye Bai's location!

Even without acting personally.

He had also reached an agreement with an elder of the Ning Family, a top-tier wealthy clan in Jiangcheng, at a great cost...

The Tongtian Tower in Magic City was built by the Martial Saint, one of the Four Saints, after the start of the High Martial Era, with the purpose of tempering the new generation while providing the younger generation with certain resource support.

Trials in the Tongtian Tower do not look at cultivation realms, only at combat power.

Clearing the 69th floor means that the student possesses the frontal combat power of a Sixth-Grade Grandmaster!

"Your master knows that you also want to prove that you are no worse than Ye Bai."

"Since that is the case, you are surely willing to do your master this favor, right? If you don't speak, your master will take your silence as consent!"

"Your master will also no longer hold your failure against you; the Zhansheng Sword will belong entirely to you!"

Then Ye Sanjian moved.

The two long swords on his back unsheathed.

"Puchi, puchi!" Two muffled sounds, as they pierced directly into Shangguan Yijian's body!

"Ah!" Shangguan Yijian screamed in extreme pain.

Under Ye Sanjian's control, strands of Sword Qi, along with a mysterious and profound power, surged into Shangguan Yijian's body!

If Zui Xiaoyao had not left, he would have been shocked by Ye Sanjian's actions.

Because this number one Grandmaster of Jiangnan Prefecture was using this method to forcibly instill his own Martial Dao Will into Shangguan Yijian!

There were benefits, naturally; when Shangguan Yijian promoted from Fifth Grade to Sixth Grade in the future, there would be no more bottlenecks!

Simply put, after Ye Sanjian's infusion ended, the only two things Shangguan Yijian would need to do were to complete his own Blood Changing and frantically increase his Qi and Blood; the day his Qi and Blood reached 500,000 would be the day he became a Rank Six Grandmaster.

As for the downsides.

Shangguan Yijian's life would stop at the Sixth Grade, with no possibility of further breakthrough.

Furthermore, because his body would be filled with Martial Dao Will that did not belong to him, he would suffer inhuman torture at every moment!

"Ye, Master Ye, what are you doing?!"

"You, you must let go of Shangguan Gege...

Shangguan Gege is your disciple!"

Bu Chi Xiang Cai, having recovered from the shock brought by Zui Xiaoyao due to Shangguan Yijian's screams, saw her expression change wildly.

"Didn't you say that you had long regarded Shangguan Gege as your own child? How could you do this to Shangguan Gege..."

While speaking, she tried to rush in front of Shangguan Yijian to save him.

"Noisy..."

"Boom!"

With a ferocious expression, Ye Sanjian slapped out, sending Bu Chi Xiang Cai flying directly into the wall!

The kind that couldn't even be pried off.

She died on the spot!

"My child? My child died twelve years ago..."

"Shangguan Yijian, I only took him as a disciple because I sensed some familiar aura on him..."

"In the end, under my protection all these years, he has played with so many women and destroyed so many families, and in the end, I still didn't find Ye Bai through him...

He owes me so much, now that I need him, shouldn't he help me?!"

Then, through a series of murmurs, Ye Sanjian revealed much unknown information.

Ye Sanjian had actually never truly regarded Shangguan Yijian as his own personal disciple.

Shangguan Yijian had many women, but most were not willing; he relied on the power of his Grandmaster master to forcibly play with other people's girlfriends. Although Ye Sanjian was displeased, he only helped clean up the mess in secret time and time again!

"And if I remember correctly, Ye Bai has a girlfriend who is also very beautiful..."

"I gave Yijian the opportunity to take that woman; when he wakes up, he will thank me..."

Shangguan Yijian's screams grew even louder.

Ye Sanjian's expression became increasingly manic.

"Three months, at most three months, and you, my disciple, will achieve the Sixth Grade Grandmaster!"

"Although Ye Bai obtained the Mending Heaven Stone and his talent can be upgraded to S-Grade, in three months, it is absolutely impossible for him to become a Sixth Grade!"

"Ye Bai, is this the Mending Heaven Stone?

That top-tier treasure that can upgrade one's talent?"

"My goodness!"

"If this were taken to be sold for money, how much would it fetch?"

Returning to Wangxing Pavilion No. 38.

Ye Bai, Li Qingqing, and the others had already finished the late-night snack Qin Churan had made.

It was very fragrant.

Eating the roasted Alien Beast meat that Qin Churan had sliced by hand.

Paired with Alien Beast steak and the Moutai liquor with at least a hundred years of history that Wang Xiaopang had brought over.

Everyone ate to their heart's content.

Afterwards, Ye Bai smiled mysteriously and took out the Mending Heaven Stone obtained at the Ladder Tournament!

"The value of the Mending Heaven Stone cannot be measured by money."

Li Qingqing's beautiful eyes had been fixed on Ye Bai the whole time.

"That's true..."

"So Ye Bai, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and upgrade your talent! I happen to be curious about what the effect of the Mending Heaven Stone is like!"

After Wang Xiaopang sighed with emotion, he urged Ye Bai.

He thought that Ye Bai taking out the Mending Heaven Stone at this time was to let everyone watch the process of a talent upgrade.

"If you're curious, wouldn't it be better to experience it yourself?" Ye Bai gave a playful smile.

"Stop joking, I don't have your great ability to take first place in the Ladder Tournament."

Wang Xiaopang shrugged.

"Wait, Ye Bai, do you mean you want to let me use the Mending Heaven Stone?!" Then he finally realized Ye Bai's true purpose.

"You're teasing me, right?

The Mending Heaven Stone is a reward you earned through hard work; you should be using it to upgrade your own talent!" He once thought Ye Bai was joking.

"No, it's not just you..."

"There's also Qingqing, and Qin Ayi."

"To tell you the truth, the Mending Heaven Stone can upgrade the talents of five people in total; even if I upgrade my own talent, there are still four uses left over."

The smile remained on Ye Bai's face.

"That won't do either!" Although the heart that Wang Xiaopang had just jumped up with settled down a little, he still hurriedly stood up.

"Ye Bai, you know me; I'm a person without much ambition, I just like being a salted fish and playing games.

If it weren't for my dad, I wouldn't even want to attend Martial University.

So don't waste such a precious opportunity on me!"

"If you really feel like you have too many uses and don't know how to handle them, I can contact the major wealthy families in Jiangcheng. I believe there will be quite a few people willing to pay a high price to buy a chance for a talent upgrade!"

Qin Churan, knowing at this moment that Ye Bai wanted to upgrade her talent, also had a look of unwillingness:

"Xiaobai, Ayi doesn't want to upgrade any talent either. Ayi doesn't like the Martial Dao. You should keep the spots, or let Xiao Pang help you sell them together!"

However, Li Qingqing then withdrew her gaze from Ye Bai and said, "Ayi, Xiao Pang, you should accept Ye Bai's good intentions."

"It is true that the opportunity to upgrade a talent is of immeasurable value, but we are in Jiangcheng here. Even the top wealthy family, the Ning Family, could not afford the money to buy a spot even if they exhausted their family fortune."

"It is also unrealistic to take it elsewhere to sell. There is a saying that goes well: an innocent man commits no crime, but his treasure proves his undoing. If Ye Bai hasn't used up the upgrade uses, many people will soon be eyeing Ye Bai."

She persuaded Qin Churan and Wang Xiaopang on Ye Bai's behalf.

"Then, then I don't want it either..."

"Ye Bai can give the opportunity to others to use..."

Wang Xiaopang still refused.

"Where would these 'others' come from? Ye Bai, you know as well as I do that he doesn't have many friends, and you are the closest one among them."

Li Qingqing's one more sentence left Wang Xiaopang with nothing to say!

He had originally only felt pity for Ye Bai's situation.

Even he hadn't realized that, unknowingly, he had become Ye Bai's closest friend...

"But Qingqing..." Qin Churan, who was on the side, spoke up again, feeling that while Wang Xiaopang had no reason to refuse, she still did.

"Qin Ayi, you are the person who needs the talent upgrade the most!

Have you forgotten? Ye Bai is now a Fourth Grade Peak Martial Artist with a lifespan of a full three hundred years, yet you haven't even reached Rank One.

Do you want to see Ye Bai watch you pass away before he has even lived half of his life?"

Li Qingqing didn't give Qin Churan a chance to speak either; her words completely moved Qin Churan!

Both of them finally accepted Ye Bai's good intentions this time!

Seeing this, Ye Bai couldn't help but look at Li Qingqing with gratitude.

He had long since thought that both Qin Churan and Wang Xiaopang would refuse to use the Mending Heaven Stone.

At the time, he thought he would just take it one step at a time, because he couldn't think of a reason to convince the two of them.

Li Qingqing had done him a huge favor!

"Even if there is thanks, it should be me thanking you. I'm one of the people upgrading their talent, and I don't even know how to face you now." Li Qingqing replied to Ye Bai using lip-reading.

"It's fine, I bought a few more outfits; I can wear them for you to see later."

Ye Bai suddenly "coughed, coughed" a few times.

The bold words Li Qingqing was saying now!

Would he look forward to it? Absolutely!

However, the top priority was upgrading the talent.

"Student Ye Bai, are you home? I've arrived." The middle-aged man he had contacted in advance had arrived right on time.

Not only did they bring the Spirit Stones needed for Ye Bai to upgrade his talent, but they also brought the supplies needed by Li Qingqing and the other two.

The path of talent upgrading officially begins!

The first to upgrade was, of course, Qin Churan.

The operation method was very simple.

The middle-aged man handed the Spirit Stones worth 10,000 Merit Points to Ye Bai; not long after Ye Bai placed the Mending Heaven Stone above the pile of Spirit Stones, the Spirit Stones visibly turned into powder, which also meant the charging was complete.

Then Ye Bai placed the Mending Heaven Stone on top of Qin Churan's head.

As this supreme treasure hovered automatically, it emitted a hazy white light that enveloped Qin Churan.

Without any surprises, the upgrade was completed in just five minutes!

Qin Churan's Martial Arts Talent was raised to E-grade.

From the initial F-level talent that could only perceive the existence of earth elements in the air and was completely useless.

It was raised to the point where she could inefficiently absorb earth elements to strengthen her own body, and it could also accelerate the increase of Qin Churan's Qi and Blood!

The second one to upgrade was Wang Xiaopang.

An accident did occur during the process.

After the upgrade was completed in twenty minutes, Ye Bai hadn't even had time to ask Wang Xiaopang about the situation of his upgraded talent.

With a "thump," Wang Xiaopang collapsed...

It was only after some inspection that it was discovered Wang Xiaopang had simply fallen asleep.

Otherwise, Ye Bai would not only have dared not use the Mending Heaven Stone again, but he would also have had to ask Jiang Renyi to come and give Qin Churan a comprehensive examination.

Next was Li Qingqing.

The young girl's talent upgrade was not that simple...
