The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 183

Chapter 183 Increase One’s Strength
Under Li Qing’s narrative, he quickly analyzed what had happened in the past few days, and the pros and cons of it were clear at a glance.

In fact, even though he had analyzed the problem clearly, the method he had given was not that wonderful.

What Li Qing had given City Lord Su was unshakable confidence and tangible benefits!

After all, a single Barrier Breaking Pill could already change the situation.

After City Lord Su heard Li Qing’s words and obtained the Barrier Breaking Pill, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of confidence in his heart. A huge boulder in his heart landed on the ground, as if the difficulty before him wasn’t a big problem.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but sigh, “In the face of such a difficult situation, you are able to calmly deal with it, calmly analyze the problems, and give a simple but correct solution. It is truly too mature to be a person.”

Li Qing said, “City Lord, you’re ridiculously praising me. It’s just that I have a lot of tricks at my disposal. It seems easy, but the key is to have enough strength. Otherwise, no matter how many tricks I try, it would be in vain.”

City Lord Su nodded his head, “You are so calm and self-critical. Sometimes, I can’t help but sigh, are you a young man? It feels like an old soul is living in your young body.”

Li Qing smiled indifferently and did not comment. In fact, after obtaining the Demon Ancestor’s inheritance and memories, it could be said that there was an old monster in his mind, advising him.

It was precisely because of the influence of the Demon Ancestor that his temperament would sometimes undergo tremendous changes, becoming domineering and confident. His temperament was completely different from his previous gentle personality. It was all because of this reason.

…

After coming out of the Hundred Gardens, City Lord Su’s expression relaxed and his footsteps became much lighter.

When he first arrived, he felt that the situation was so severe and he was uneasy. However, after talking to Li Qing, it was as if the problem had been solved. His heart was filled with boundless confidence, as if the enemy was really just a chicken and a tiled dog, unable to withstand a single blow.

He marveled in his heart. Li Qing was truly a miraculous person with the ability to turn decay into magic. No matter how difficult the situation was, it seemed that it could be easily resolved in front of this person.

In particular, Li Qing’s cultivation speed was so fast. Every day, there were different changes. Every once in a while, he would become stronger. He was countless times stronger than the so-called geniuses he had seen in his life.

What a powerful and mysterious figure! I don’t know where it came from.

He felt that Li Qing’s body seemed to be covered in a layer of mystery, making it impossible for others to see clearly. He didn’t know where he came from, but he suddenly appeared for no reason, as if he had fallen from the sky.

“What are you thinking so much about?” He couldn’t help but shake his head and throw away these thoughts. “This child is not something in the pond. He will definitely be able to soar nine days in the future. This small pond of the Su Clan will definitely not be able to keep him. I can only think of a way to keep him in close contact with the Su Clan. In the future, I will definitely be able to soar with him.”

“Thinking back and forth, if I want to establish a close relationship with him, I’m afraid that just relying on my position as a guest minister is not enough. For the sake of today’s plan, I have to marry him!”

Actually, this thought had a long history in his heart. Back then, when Li Qing first treated his daughter’s illness, it had already sprouted.

It could be seen that Li Qing did not seem to hate his daughter, and her daughter liked Li Qing even more.

From Su Jingxiang’s expression and gaze, it could be seen that she was deeply in love!

Thinking of his daughter’s shy expression, City Lord Su couldn’t help but reveal a smile.

“What a perfect solution!” He was very happy in his heart and felt that the future was bright.

He clenched the Barrier Breaking Pill in his hand tightly, and he had a premonition that he would be able to break through to the fourth level of the Xiantian realm this time.

As long as he broke through to the fourth level of the Xiantian realm, he would have a greater chance of resisting the enemy’s attack. With such strength, it was definitely enough to preserve such a small city.

This was the greatest harvest of the day.

City Lord Su had been stuck in the current realm for more than ten years, but he was unable to break through. However, this light pill, Li Qing, had solved the problem. Indeed, different people, the world is different.

The fourth level of the Xiantian Realm could be considered rare in this border region. City Lord Su predicted that within the enemy alliance army, there would only be two or three Xiantian 4-dan experts, and they might not be able to pour their nest out.

Jiang Yuan City was only a small city with a population of several hundred thousand. It was impossible for many Xiantian fourth layer experts to spend so much effort to build such a small city.

…

Jiang Yuan City had temporarily regained its calm.

Under the arrangement of City Lord Su, the Su Clan mobilized and tried their best to appease the turbulent people in the city. They began to publicize An Min, avoiding rumors, and tried to appease the many clans that had been forced to do so before. They did not resort to any more intense methods.

Sure enough, this had eased the tension between the two sides, maintaining a delicate and fragile balance in a short period of time.

In the streets and alleys of Jiangyuan City, the city guards arranged by the Su Family were patrolling everywhere, clearing out the unstable people and forces in the city. In a moment, Jiangyuan City became quiet.

Even though many people were still not optimistic that the Su Clan would be able to survive this calamity and felt that it was only the calm before the storm, at least on the surface, it was already calm. No one would go against the wind and do anything else.

During this period of time, City Lord Su consumed the Barrier Breaking Pill. His accumulations were originally extremely abundant, but he had been stuck for a long time and was unable to make a breakthrough, so he was just missing an opportunity.

Now that he had consumed this miraculous pill, after a period of bitter cultivation, he had successfully broken through to the fourth level of the Xiantian realm and his strength had greatly increased.

After reaching the fourth level of the Xiantian realm, he had the ability to condense his True Essence, transforming the invisible Xiantian True Essence into everything in the world, thus launching all sorts of powerful and mysterious attacks.

With such strength, dealing with an ordinary Xiantian 3rd layer martial artist was already easy and didn’t need to worry too much about it.

It could be predicted that under the joint efforts of City Lord Su and Li Qing, unless there were more than three Xiantian Fourth Layer experts among the enemies, it would be very difficult to break through the defensive line of Jiangyuan City.

The news that City Lord Su had reached the fourth level of the Xiantian Realm quickly spread out. Under the Su Clan’s deliberate arrangements, this news spread extremely quickly and instantly shook the entire Jiangyuan City.

Everyone’s hearts trembled. With the protection of such an expert, Jiang Yuan City was much more confident in surviving the crisis. Their attitudes instantly reversed.

It turned out that Jiang Yuan City was only calm on the surface, but now it had truly settled down.

At the same time, a precious pill, the Aperture Opening Pill, began to be sold in the Su Clan’s shop in Jiangyuan City!

This pill was precisely the pill used to open acupoints. If a Houtian level 10 martial artist wanted to break through to the Xiantian realm, they would need the help of this pill. Otherwise, their speed would be extremely slow.

The older he was, the less hope he had of breaking through to the Xiantian realm. Therefore, the Aperture Opening Pill’s attraction to Houtian Tenth Layer martial artists was even greater than he had imagined.

This pill was a mid-grade pill refined by Li Qing. Now that he was able to refine high-grade pills, he was naturally able to grasp all kinds of mid-grade pills.

As soon as the Aperture Opening Pill appeared in the Su Clan’s shop, it attracted many martial artists to rush over and buy it out.

After this news spread out, many martial artists from the outside world immediately came, hoping to buy the Aperture Opening Pill. Even though many martial artists couldn’t use it now, it wouldn’t be too late to use it in the future if they bought it and kept it.

The arrival of these martial artists invisibly increased the strength of Jiangyuan City. The city slowly became lively, and it seemed like a prosperous scene.

When buying medicinal pills, some martial artists had been persuaded by the Su Clan to lure them into joining the Su Clan with the benefits of the Aperture Opening Pill, greatly increasing their strength.

Many clans in the city knew that the Su Clan was able to refine the Aperture Opening Pill, but they actually changed their previous resistance and began to surrender to the Su Clan. Naturally, the condition was that they could obtain more Aperture Opening Pills.

He didn’t expect that he would unintentionally solve this problem. This was a pleasant surprise, so City Lord Su naturally agreed.

Apart from concocting Aperture Opening Pills, Li Qing also concocted pills such as the Qi God Pill, the Harmonious Spirit Pill, the Crimson Blood Pill, and the Bone Cleansing Pill. All of them were precious pills that were helpful to Houtian realm martial artists, and they quickly attracted many martial artists.

With Li Qing’s help, after the implementation of these measures, the reputation of Jiangyuan City instantly rose and the situation was swept away.

The efforts made by Yu Tiancheng and the other enemy forces earlier seemed to be useless. What rumors, sabotage, and other actions had no effect at this moment.

To destroy Jiangyuan City without much effort and minimize the casualties, it seemed like a fantasy at the moment. If they really wanted to take down Jiangyuan City, unless they sent an honest army to crush it and resolve the battle head-on, it would be very difficult to succeed.
