Three strands of innate true qi, about one metre long, like three true dragons, hovered above Ye Qiu’s head, making him appear as if he were a divine being.
Tang Fei and the others, seeing this scene, were all dumbfounded.
“Is this true qi?”
“How does it look like dragons? Look, there’s the dragon head, whiskers, scales, and claws.”
“Too miraculous!”
Qilin was full of shock.
He had previously heard from the Witch God that Ye Qiu cultivated innate true qi, and he knew a little about the legends surrounding it.
“The Long-Browed Master was right, Ye Qiu possesses great fortune, favoured by the heavens, truly enviable,” Qilin said softly.
Long Ye, standing nearby, asked, “Does cultivating true qi make someone a supreme master?”
“Mhm,” Qilin nodded, saying, “To be precise, a master who cultivates true qi, even if they don’t become a God List powerhouse, can still be a top-tier expert in the world.”
Long Ye asked curiously, “What about you?”
“What about me?” Qilin didn’t catch on at first, asking in return.
Long Ye said, “How many strands of true qi have you cultivated?”
Don’t bring this up, we’re still good brothers!
Qilin glared at Long Ye.
Long Ye understood, patted Qilin’s shoulder, and comforted, “Brother, don’t lose heart. When you reach the Witch God’s age, you might be able to cultivate true qi.”
Qilin wanted to slap Long Ye dead.
Can’t you talk properly?
Is my martial talent that bad?
If I can only cultivate true qi at the Witch God’s age, I might as well smash my head and die, too shameful.
Qilin ignored Long Ye, continuing to watch Ye Qiu, saying, “After this heavenly tribulation, Ye Qiu’s cultivation has broken through significantly. Now, aside from those old monsters, he’s probably unmatched.”
“He’s only in his twenties, not only skilled in medicine but also with such extraordinary martial talent, truly enviable!”
Indeed, reaching the pinnacle of life at such a young age, how could it not make people envious?
Tang Fei was also full of envy.
Long Ye said with a bitter face, “I’m not envious of Ye Qiu’s martial skills or medical prowess, I’m only jealous of his luck with women. Two more beauties have fallen for him, sigh…”
A long sigh, full of the helplessness and envy of a single man.
Tang Fei and the others glanced at Su Luoying and Su Xiaoxiao, seeing the two women staring at Ye Qiu, their eyes blinking, and they inwardly cursed the unfairness of the heavens.
Why is Ye Qiu so young, so handsome, so skilled in medicine, so powerful in martial arts, and liked by so many stunning beauties?
Truly the son of destiny!
On the plaza.
Ye Qiu was intently comprehending.
He discovered that after breaking through to the third strand of innate qi, his strength and other aspects had undergone a qualitative leap.
He felt that with his current power, he could easily defeat a master with six strands of true qi.
Even if he faced the Dragon Girl again now, he wouldn’t need to flee; he was confident he could repel her.
The only thing he couldn’t understand was why the Witch God, who had cultivated ten strands of true qi, never faced a heavenly tribulation, yet whenever he cultivated true qi, a tribulation would descend.
So strange.
“I didn’t expect that triggering a heavenly tribulation to kill the Witch God would bring me such great gains, cause for celebration, though it’s a pity the Nine-Thousand-Year-Old died…”
Roar,
A dragon’s cry sounded.
The three strands of innate true qi returned to Ye Qiu’s body.
Instantly, the wounds on his body healed at a visible rate, and in less than five minutes, all his injuries were fully recovered, his spirit and energy returning to their peak.
His body was brimming with inexhaustible strength.
Ye Qiu felt that even if Lin Jingzhi and Bai Bing fought him together, they would be the ones begging for mercy in the end.
Then, Ye Qiu opened his eyes, activated his heavenly eye, and examined his physical condition.
He was shocked by what he saw.
He discovered, miraculously, that his blood had entirely turned golden, like liquid gold.
“How could this be?”
“I’ve never heard of anyone’s blood being golden.”
“Will this cause problems in the long run?”
Ye Qiu checked again and found nothing abnormal with his body.
“There shouldn’t be any issues for now, let’s deal with the important matters first!”
Ye Qiu stood up.
Instantly, thousands of Dragon Gate disciples knelt on the ground, shouting in unison:
“Greetings, Sect Master!”
“Greetings, Sect Master!”
Their voices thundered, resounding through the heavens and earth.
Qilin, Han Long, and Zhao Hu also knelt on the ground.
Ye Qiu’s gaze swept across the crowd, his voice filled with boundless authority, saying, “In this attack on the Witch God Sect, our Dragon Gate achieved a great victory, slaying the Witch God and exterminating thousands of their disciples, pacifying Miaojiang henceforth.”
“In this battle, the brothers present have made indispensable contributions.”
“I hereby announce that every brother who participated in this battle will be rewarded with one million!”
Hearing this, the Dragon Gate disciples looked up at Ye Qiu, their faces filled with wild joy.
Ye Qiu continued, “Furthermore, for the brothers who sacrificed their lives in this battle, each will receive two million in compensation. I promise here that for those fallen brothers with underage children, Dragon Gate will support them until they are eighteen, and for those with elderly parents over sixty, Dragon Gate will care for them until the end.”
The Dragon Gate disciples were once again filled with excitement.
“In addition, I will order the creation of commemorative medals made of gold. All Dragon Gate disciples who participated in this battle will receive a gold badge.”
“You must understand, this is not just a medal, but a symbol of honour.”
“If in the future you fall in battle or pass away from illness, this medal can be passed to your family. If your family encounters insurmountable difficulties, they can present this medal to seek help from Dragon Gate. As long as the request does not violate the principles of the martial world, Dragon Gate will surely answer!”
As Ye Qiu’s words fell, the crowd erupted in cheers.
“Great!”
“Great!”
“Long live the Sect Master!”
“Long live the Sect Master!”
…
What a brilliant way to win hearts!
Tang Fei, watching from the side, was filled with emotion.
When he first met Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu was just a doctor, but now, Ye Qiu stood on his own, and even his methods had matured greatly.
The policies Ye Qiu just announced greatly boosted the confidence of the Dragon Gate disciples. It was foreseeable that from now on, they would be utterly devoted to him.
After all, Ye Qiu had completely resolved their worries.
Ye Qiu raised his hand.
Instantly, the entire plaza fell silent.
Ye Qiu said, “Zhao Hu, the boss of Yangcheng, has held the fort there for years. This time, he led a long march to aid us in destroying the Witch God Sect, his contributions towering like the heavens. It would be unjust not to reward him. Where is Zhao Hu?”
Zhao Hu respectfully said, “Zhao Hu is here!”
Ye Qiu declared loudly, “Zhao Hu, hear my command. From this day forward, you are promoted to Dragon Gate’s Black Tortoise Envoy.”
Zhao Hu was stunned; wasn’t Ye Qiu the Black Tortoise Envoy?
But he quickly realised that Ye Qiu was now the Sect Master and no longer needed to hold the position of Black Tortoise Envoy.
“Zhao Hu thanks the Sect Master.”
Thud, thud, thud!
Zhao Hu kowtowed three times to Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu continued, “Where is Han Long?”
