Chapter 139: Family Martial Arts Performance

Uncle Chen showed a thoughtful look and suggested: "Duke, we should test Thirteenth Young Master. If Thirteenth Young Master was really forcibly raised by pills, it shows that his potential is limited, and it also shows that he is deeply involved with Bai Ziyue. If not, then Thirteenth Young Master is truly a genius, perhaps he had been cultivating in secret long ago, just that neither you nor I noticed."

Cultivating to the Viscera Refining peak in three months—anyway, he didn't believe it.

Either it was piled up with pills, or he had been cultivating in secret long ago, just that even they hadn't noticed.

Such shrewdness and methods are absolutely incomparable to those of ordinary people.

Thinking of Yin Qi refining pills again, could it be possible that some Daoist expert had been teaching him in secret long ago?

Or perhaps, Yin Qi accidentally obtained some Daoist inheritance?

As long as Yin Qi doesn't confess, there are many such possibilities.

Yin Tiancheng touched his green beard and said: "In a few days, the eldest, fourth, fifth, and eighth will return from the army, so let's have a family martial arts performance. As for the first place, reward the Zhenhong Bow and a manor; the second place reward a restaurant; the third place reward three thousand taels of silver."

"Zhenhong Bow!"

Uncle Chen showed a look of surprise.

This is the family heirloom bow of the Yin family, ranked fifth among the ten famous bows.

This precious bow has a bow body made of ladder-pattern steel and a bowstring made of python tendon; even an Innate Martial Master at the Viscera Refining realm couldn't pull it fully.

And when pulled fully, it can pierce iron armor from a thousand steps away.

In those years, the first Yin Duke used this bow to shoot and kill I don't know how many enemy generals.

It can be said that this bow is already at the peak of mortal weapons.

Yin Tiancheng said indifferently: "They have all grown up, and I should find a new owner for the Zhenhong Bow. What's more, if I don't take out the Zhenhong Bow, I'm worried that Thirteenth will not put in his full effort, and I won't be able to test his depth."

Uncle Chen nodded slowly.

This Zhenhong Bow is absolutely a precious bow that all martial arts practitioners dream of.

If Thirteenth Young Master is truly someone who has practiced since childhood and knows how to endure, he wouldn't be attracted to take action without something good.

December 25th.

Yin Duke Mansion.

Tian Shu Courtyard.

"Eldest Brother, you know about Thirteenth, right."

Yin Hao said in a deep voice.

He wore brocade clothes and had a handsome appearance, but his eyes were a bit gloomy.

He was the fourth, born to Princess Xuanling, the same as the eldest Yin Xuan, who was the proper wife of the Yin Duke.

Yin Xuan was spirited, with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes.

It's just that he didn't laugh easily, giving people a very strict feeling.

He nodded indifferently: "Mother wrote to me. I didn't expect Thirteenth Brother's cultivation to have caught up with mine; our Yin Duke Mansion has hope for revival."

Yin Hao was anxious, his voice raised: "Eldest Brother, are you really stupid or pretending to be? Thirteenth is already at the Innate peak, and it's entirely possible for him to become a Martial Saint in the future. If this continues, the title of Yin Duke will probably be his."

Yin Xuan frowned and scolded in a low voice: "Fourth, how are you talking? Thirteenth Brother is also your brother; if he can become a Martial Saint and lead the Yin Duke Mansion to glory, what is there to regret about the mere position of Duke?"

Yin Hao gritted his teeth, really wanting to knock open the eldest's head to see what he was thinking.

This position of Duke cannot be yielded to others.

However, he also knew the eldest's character and knew that arguing would be meaningless, so he could only change the subject: "You know about the family martial arts performance, right? The first place will be rewarded with the Zhenhong Bow and a manor; this is clearly prepared for you and Thirteenth."

Yin Xuan looked at Yin Hao and said indifferently: "I know, Father wants me to test Thirteenth Brother's depth. But I am determined to get the Zhenhong Bow, so don't worry."

Yin Hao finally smiled with satisfaction: "That's good."

With the same cultivation, he didn't think Yin Qi, who had been practicing in seclusion, would be Yin Xuan's opponent.

One must know that Yin Xuan is a lieutenant in the Shenji Camp, and as the Emperor's Imperial Guard, this is not something that can be achieved just by cultivation and connections; one must also beat all the many competitors.

………

December 26th.

Martial Arts Field.

Today is the day of the Yin family's martial arts performance, and the whole mansion is gathered.

Except for the three daughters who have married out, all sons and daughters over eight years old must participate in this performance, totaling fourteen sons and seven daughters, because in the Duke Mansion, both men and women practice martial arts.

Of course, everyone knows that those under fifteen are just here to join in the fun.

The real highlight is on those over fifteen.

At the same time, the focus is on the duel between Yin Qi and Yin Xuan; everyone in the Duke Mansion can guess Yin Tiancheng's intention.

Yin Tiancheng looked around at his children participating in the performance and said in a deep voice: "From now on, the family martial arts performance will become a custom, not only rewarding the winners but also those with outstanding progress.

You are all my children and the future hope of the Duke Mansion.

I hope you can possess a martial spirit, cultivate bitterly, and make your own efforts to revitalize the Duke Mansion."

Speaking of this, he paused and continued: "For today's family martial arts performance, the first place will be rewarded with the Zhenhong Bow and a manor, the second place will be rewarded with a restaurant, and the third place will be rewarded with three thousand taels of silver.

At the same time, for those with outstanding progress, one person will be rewarded with one thousand taels of silver.

Next, let the performance begin.

Uncle Chen, you preside over it."

Saying that, he sat on the grandmaster's chair on the steps.

Beside him sat a middle-aged beautiful woman with a graceful temperament, but she had a cold expression, clearly unhappy in her heart.

This person was Princess Xuanling.

Princess Xuanling was unhappy, of course, because she was unhappy with the Emperor and Yin Tiancheng's high regard for Yin Qi.

A mere concubine-born son, what if his martial arts are high?

In the field, only Yin Tiancheng and she were sitting, while the other flat wives and concubines were all standing behind them.

Uncle Chen walked into the courtyard and said: "This family martial arts performance is mainly based on duels between the same realm, with only one person left in each realm. After the duels end, lower realms can challenge higher realms, and finally, the ranking will be decided.

There are six people in the first realm of martial arts, Flesh Refining, namely Yin Qin (12 years old), Yin Wei (12 years old), Yin Heng (11 years old), Yin Chong (10 years old), Yin Zheng (9 years old), and Yin Tong (8 years old).

First match, Yin Zheng and Yin Tong."

As Uncle Chen's words fell, a young boy and a young girl walked into the field.

They greeted each other and soon started fighting, which made the surrounding people laugh.

Both of them had just started practicing martial arts and hadn't even practiced their fist techniques well.

From the beginning of punching and slapping each other, it finally turned into scratching and grabbing hair, completely like children fighting.

Yin Qi couldn't help but laugh; it was quite fun.

He knew Yin Tiancheng's intention for holding this family martial arts performance clearly; wasn't it just to test him?

If it were just a performance, he might hide his clumsiness and lose to Yin Xuan.

Even if there was the Zhenhong Bow, he wouldn't expose himself.

But he took a fancy to that manor.

According to the information given by Yin Tiancheng, that manor was in the suburbs, with a thousand mu of fertile land.

With a manor, he would have a reason to move out.

In the Yin Duke Mansion, many things were not easy to do.

A few minutes later, the first match ended with Yin Tong crying.

The competition continued, and the progress was fast.

In less than half an hour, it reached the third realm, Bone Refining.

There were five people in the Bone Refining realm, and they fought quite fiercely.

Finally, Yin Hao won.

As the second son of Princess Xuanling, Yin Hao not only had the cultivation resources of the Duke Mansion since childhood but could also occasionally obtain secret medicines and even techniques from the Imperial Palace, and he was the most promising to break through to the Viscera Refining realm.

"Next match, Yin Xuan, Yin Qi!"

As Uncle Chen announced, the whole mansion was energized, because the highlight of today had finally arrived. ===== CHAPTER 140 =====
