When the door closed, the footsteps of the two faded away, and Fei Hong put down the file in his hand heavily, and his face was cloudy.

The second lady's behavior of almost forcing the palace really made him angry.

As the head of a clan, he has almost supreme power in the family, and he controls the fate of thousands of clansmen, and he never imagined that one day he would be so persecuted by his wife.

But he had to think carefully.

Because the second lady is right about one thing, there is no possibility for the two sides to shake hands and make peace.

Of course, he can see this.

Because Ling Jiuqiu's performance after being assassinated was too calm.

If Ling Jiuqiu was angry at that time, or impulsively approached the second lady to theorize, or even complained to him directly, it was normal, and it would not be a big problem to vent all the negative emotions.

But none of that.

Instead, Ling Jiuqiu suppressed all his emotions and spent all day in the mansion in retreat and penance, as if nothing had happened to him who had been assassinated.

Now he is deliberately hiding his whereabouts.

This kind of behavior, there is only one possibility, so Jiuqiu buried his hatred deep in his heart, cultivated hard, and was ready to wait for an opportunity to retaliate.

Barking dogs don't bite.

Dogs that bite don't bark.

Ling Jiuqiu's forbearance was originally appreciated by Feihong, but when the object was placed on the second lady, the whole thing was a little complicated.

Ling Jiuqiu is the passive party, and it is not his fault, so forbearant and ready to wait for an opportunity to retaliate, it is indeed understandable.

But the second lady is not only his wife, but also the mother of the young patriarch Ling Bailong.

"Jiuqiu, I'm sorry."

"One day you will understand that this world is not only about right and wrong, but also about profit when deciding between trade-offs."

After taking a deep breath, Ling Feihong muttered.

With the blood relationship between the second lady and Ling Bailong, if he really punished the second lady for Ling Jiuqiu, it would be equivalent to offending Ling Bailong.

And Ling Bailong is the future of the family and the hope of rising, if you insist on making a trade-off between the two, you can only take Ling Bailong, as for his opposite, no matter who you are, you can only give up.

Even if it's his other son.

Of course, tiger poison does not eat children, and it is impossible for him to put Jiuqiu to death unless it is a last resort.

It was enough to completely suppress Ling Jiuqiu's momentum, so that he had no possibility of threatening Ling Bailong, and no chance of harming the second lady.

One team and two tiger generals are a great thing.

But if the two tigers want to fight to the death, it is better to keep only one tiger and abolish the other tiger.

Ling Feihong sat behind the desk and muttered for a long time.

……

Early morning.

Octagon Martial Arts Arena.

Ling Jiuqiu was bare-chested, practicing the Tiger Demon Body Refining Fist in the cultivation room, and the strong wind was howling between punches and kicks, full of strength, like a colorful tiger hunting in the forest.

After a long time.

Ling Jiuqiu took the initiative to stop.

"It's going to break through so soon."

He sighed a little confused.

This was the second day that Ling Jiuqiu had come to the martial arts arena, but his cultivation was already approaching the boundary point, and he might break through to the fourth level of the True Qi Realm at any time.

After eleven battles yesterday, Ling Jiuqiu killed eleven people in a row, plundered eleven martial souls, and invested all the power of a large number of martial souls refined into the upgrade of the Spirit Devouring Python, upgrading it to the middle grade of the Xuan level, and even to the extent that it was close to the top grade.

His cultivation speed increased dramatically as a result.

But new problems also arise.

Does his cultivation want to break through?

It stands to reason that it is of course a good thing to make a breakthrough in cultivation, and there is definitely a lot of improvement in strength.

But once he breaks through to the fourfold True Qi Realm, he will no longer be able to participate in the primary martial arts, and even if he wants to continue to participate in martial arts, he can only go to the intermediate arena and fight with those True Qi Realm sixfold powerhouses.

You must know that the later the martial arts practice, the greater the gap in strength between each level, plus the more means mastered, if you want to fight beyond the level, it may not be as easy as the early stage.

This is like the game that Ling Jiuqiu played in his previous life, when the level was low, he often relied on the advantage of one aspect to crush the opponent.

But in the later stage, level, equipment, skills, operation connection, etc., any single advantage may not necessarily lay the foundation for victory, compared to a comprehensive advantage.

It's the same with martial arts practice.

When I first stepped into the martial arts, all aspects had just started, and there was not much gap between them, only the advantages of martial souls were the most obvious.

And in the later stages.

Other factors are becoming more and more important.

For example, martial arts.

Mastering a yellow-level martial art to the realm of Dacheng can increase the explosive power by about two percent.

Don't underestimate these two percent, compared to Ling Jiuqiu, a novice who has just started martial arts, this is enough to erase most of the gap in martial arts.

Plus the gap between the weapons.

The gap between the repairs.

The gap between combat experience.

All aspects are taken together, the strength of the master of the intermediate field is definitely stronger than that of Ling Jiuqiu, who is the fourth level of the True Qi Realm.

Therefore, once Ling Jiuqiu made a breakthrough in cultivation, it would never be possible to make easy money in the martial arts arena in a short period of time.

But he also knew that if he didn't break through, he would delay his cultivation progress, and the gains would outweigh the losses.

After thinking about it for a long time.

Ling Jiuqiu gritted his teeth at this time: "Since you can't have both, you can only make a trade-off between upgrading and making money!" ”

"Then fight martial arts for a few days first, earn more money, buy enough Qi and Blood Pills, and upgrade to the sixth level of True Qi Realm all the way to retreat, and practice more martial arts by the way."

"When the time comes, directly sweep the intermediate field."

That's when it happened.

There was a knock on the door, followed by Wang Anning's soft shout: "Brother Chiyan." ”

Ling Jiuqiu opened the door and welcomed the other party in, and asked, "Envoy Wang, is there something wrong?" ”

Wang Anning's face was full of excitement: "Brother Chiyan, you left the game in a hurry last night, and I haven't had time to report the results to you, yesterday you swept the primary field, won ten battles and ten wins, and won a total of 3,700 taels of silver." ”

"After deducting the commission of the martial arts arena, my salary, and the expenses for renting the cultivation room and purchasing the Qi and Blood Pill, there are still 3,225 taels left in the end."

Ling Jiuqiu couldn't help but smile.

More than 3,000 taels of silver, equivalent to more than 3 million purchasing power in the previous life, is definitely a huge amount of money, able to buy more than 30 bottles of Qi and Blood Pill.

Judging from the cultivation effect of the bottle of Qi and Blood Pill he purchased yesterday, these more than thirty bottles of Qi and Blood Pill could almost support his cultivation to the peak of the fourth level of the True Qi Realm, and even the fifth level of the True Qi Realm.

It's just that this kind of cultivation method is too extravagant!

Martial artists with ordinary family backgrounds generally eat meat, refining true qi little by little, and accumulating it in their bodies.

Martial artists with slightly better family backgrounds generally use qi and blood pills, such as the benefits issued by the Ling clan to their minor children.

In fact, the Qi and Blood Pill is only a weakened version researched based on the effect of the Qi and Blood Pill, so that the martial artists who can't afford to eat the Qi and Blood Pill have a relatively affordable alternative.

Qi and Blood Pill is the official first-order pill.

With the demon pill as the main material, supplemented by various precious medicinal materials, the price is naturally extremely expensive.

The price of a bottle of one hundred taels is enough to discourage most martial artists.

Because the Qi and Blood Pill is a kind of cultivation resource, even if you grit your teeth and buy a bottle, it can't play a big role, and only by insisting on long-term use can it reflect its powerful effect.

Even if it is the four major families of Yongquan City, only some middle and high-level families have the conditions to use the Qi and Blood Pill for a long time.
