Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 168 - 158: Not Convinced

Qin Qing’s cultivation speed had reached an unimaginable degree.

It wasn’t that he was cycling his mental method particularly quickly, but rather his speed in condensing, absorbing, and refining Spiritual Qi was far too much greater than that of an ordinary martial artist of the same realm.

A normal Soul Refinement Realm Seventh Realm practitioner could gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at less than a tenth of Qin Qing’s capacity.

And his speed in refining Spiritual Qi was also less than a tenth of Qin Qing’s.

In other words, Qin Qing’s normal cultivation efficiency was a hundred times, even more, stronger than that of martial artists of the same realm...

This terrifying talent was simply beyond any normal reckoning!

In less than ten days, Qin Qing’s cultivation had broken through once again!

"Soul Refinement Realm Eighth Level!"

Qin Qing opened his eyes, and at that moment, the aura around him trembled. Having reached a peak, it slowly returned to calmness.

"My cultivation speed is much faster than other martial artists, so the resources I consume are also depleted faster!"

A bitter smile appeared at the corner of Qin Qing’s mouth.

Originally, his cultivation resources had been exhausted during the last period of closed-door cultivation. This time, his master Bai Qiuhe had taken out a large number of spirit stones and elixirs for Qin Qing’s cultivation.

But now, after breaking through to the eighth level of the Soul Refinement Realm, all the cultivation resources were once again depleted.

At this moment, Qin Qing had only three Purple-Patterned Qinglian Seeds left on him.

Qin Qing also knew that Purple-Patterned Qinglian Seeds were extremely precious natural treasures.

The previous few times he used them were in emergencies, and describing it as a waste of heavenly materials was not an exaggeration.

With these last three Purple-Patterned Qinglian Seeds, Qin Qing did not intend to squander them.

He planned to use these three Purple-Patterned Qinglian Seeds to refine elixirs...

Without cultivation resources, he could only rely solely on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

This method of cultivation did not require additional resource consumption, after all. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is endless.

But relying solely on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for cultivation, one could well imagine that the speed would be drastically reduced!!

However, even so, the speed of Qin Qing’s cultivation compared to other martial artists was still terrifying!

...

Qiuhai Villa.

"Elder Bai, this is a batch of Soul Refinement Pills that have been recently refined."

The elder standing opposite Bai Qiuhe was dressed in a black robe with gold trim. This elder was an alchemy elder from the Great Qian Martial Institute, named Hou Lin.

Elder Hou Lin had a long-standing friendship with Bai Qiuhe, and they had a very good relationship.

"Thank you, Elder Hou. Put these Soul Refinement Pills on my tab for now..." Bai Qiuhe said with a smile.

"Not in any hurry!" Hou Lin waved his hand indifferently: "Brother Bai is being too formal. I know that you are getting these elixirs for your disciple. Qin Qing has an exceptional talent and is the most gifted disciple in the history of the Great Qian Martial Institute."

"This time, that the West Courtyard could be preserved, this young man Qin Qing has made an indispensable contribution. So, even if it’s not for Brother Bai’s sake, I am willing to give him as much help as I can afford!"

"Brother Hou truly understands the greater good," Bai Qiuhe laughed heartily and clasped his hands together in appreciation.

"Then I shall take my leave!"

Hou Lin then left immediately.

"Master!"

Jiang Ruorong came over at this time, "Master, if you don’t have Spirit Stones, you can ask me, I still have some!"

As she spoke, Jiang Ruorong took out two Spirit Rings.

"Ruorong, how could your master shamelessly keep taking things from you, his disciple?" Bai Qiuhe’s face showed a tinge of red.

To tell the truth, since Jiang Ruorong became his disciple, Bai Qiuhe hadn’t provided her any resources in the past two years, instead, it was Jiang Ruorong who had been providing him with the help he needed.

Of course, Bai Qiuhe had passed on to Jiang Ruorong the Heavenly Soul Resonance Technique that he had comprehended himself; this was also the reason why Jiang Ruorong had become his disciple.

Otherwise, with Jiang Ruorong’s background, what kind of master couldn’t she have chosen? Why would she have traveled thousands of miles to come to a small country like the Great Qian Dynasty?

"Master, this is also to help junior brother. Even if you didn’t give it to him, I would still have given it to junior brother..." said Jiang Ruorong.

"Then why didn’t you give it directly to your junior brother?" Bai Qiuhe smiled.

"I don’t want junior brother to feel like he owes me too much," said Jiang Ruorong.

"Master, Junior Sister!"

While Jiang Ruorong and Bai Qiuhe were chatting and laughing, Luo Junzi came out from the adjacent training room.

His expression was somewhat unnatural; he had heard everything his master and junior sister had discussed.

"Little Luo, have you come out of seclusion?" Bai Qiuhe smiled and nodded.

"Yes!" Luo Junzi nodded and said, "Master, I feel that you’re showing too much favoritism towards junior brother, isn’t that inappropriate?"

Bai Qiuhe’s expression paused briefly as he looked at Luo Junzi, "Little Luo, why would you say that?"

"Master..." Luo Junzi said, "I know that your resources for cultivation are extremely scarce. That’s because you need to provide a lot of resources for maintaining and treating the body of sister Qin Qing. Those cultivation resources were supposed to be for your own use, especially since you are now in the Golden Core Late Stage, building up power for Nascent Soul Formation." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"But you’re wasting the cultivation resources on sister Qin Qing... It’s affecting your cultivation greatly..."

"Luo Junzi, stop talking!" Bai Qiuhe frowned slightly.

"No, I have to say this!" Luo Junzi continued, "Master, you’re not only wasting resources on that Qin Shuang! You also give all the resources you can gather to Qin Qing. Before Qin Qing became your disciple, you used to allocate a lot of cultivation resources to me, but now... most of my supposed cultivation resources are being taken by the siblings Qin Qing and Qin Shuang!"

"And there’s also that Qin Yue..."

"I won’t even mention Qin Yue’s talent. The Great Qian Martial Institute could easily find someone with better talent than her. And you, Master... you took in Qin Yue, a disciple with such ordinary talent that could not be any more common, also because of Qin Qing. To be honest, Master, I feel that you’re undervaluing yourself!"

"Senior Brother. You know Little Shuang’s situation as well. If Master didn’t help her, she might have already... As for Qin Yue, that was also a promise Master made earlier. I know, after Little Brother became Master’s disciple, your cultivation resources did become less than before, but it hasn’t affected your cultivation, has it?" said Jiang Ruorong.

"But I’m not convinced! Why should Qin Qing receive so much care from Master?" Luo Junzi was still arguing his point, but was suddenly interrupted by Bai Qiuhe, "Enough, Luo Junzi, you can leave. From now on, I no longer have a disciple like you!"

Luo Junzi was taken aback, then a cold smile appeared on his face, "Fine, that’s perfect. I also wanted to say that I don’t want to stay here. Bai Qiuhe, even if you don’t let me go, I will leave myself. From now on, we no longer have a master-disciple relationship! You think Qin Qing has great talent, so you spare no effort to help him? Sooner or later, I will prove that your judgment is not that great!"

"Senior Brother!"

Jiang Ruorong wanted to stop Luo Junzi, but he had already strode out of the Qiuhai Villa.

"Jiang Ruorong, stop, don’t keep him!" Bai Qiuhe shouted sternly.

"But..." Jiang Ruorong hesitated, clearly distressed.

Before she came, Luo Junzi had already been Master’s disciple, and at that time, he was the only true disciple of Bai Qiuhe.

"There’s no need for ’buts’. Everyone has their own aspirations!" Bai Qiuhe waved his hand and handed Jiang Ruorong the bottle of Soul Refinement Pills sent by Elder Yang Lin, "Take this bottle of elixirs to your junior brother!"

"Yes!" Jiang Ruorong sighed lightly, took the elixirs, and went to the training room where Qin Qing was.

"Junior Brother..."

Qin Qing heard the voice from outside, stopped what he was doing, and went to open the door.
