"Okay, you're progressing much faster than I thought." Qin Ziling said happily after hearing this.

"This is all thanks to the young master's hard work and hard work." Liu Xiaoqiang said with humility and gratitude.

"This is also inseparable from your talent, understanding and perseverance. I brought back a lot of good things this time. If you absorb it well, you should have an iron fist and an iron arm before the end of the year, and you will be able to condense your strength next year!

"Qin Ziling said.

"Strength!" Liu Xiaoqiang's body trembled, and his eyes were a little red.

Before this, he never dared to dream that he would be a powerful martial artist, and he would use the iron skin of his arms as the foundation to condense his strength.

But now, all this is just around the corner.

"Shao'e, how are you doing?" Qin Ziling asked.

"Back to the young master, I have been taking supplements of the flesh and blood of alien animals these days, and I have made great progress. But the realm of transforming energy not only requires strong strength as the foundation, but also needs to understand the secrets of transformation. I can't touch it yet.

The threshold of strength." Shao E replied.

"Strength is not a problem at all. The piece of Bahuang black python I brought back this time was prepared for you, and the small half of the unknown second-grade exotic beast was also prepared mainly for you.

You can just give some of it to Xiaoqiang. His current foundation is mainly to eat the blood and flesh of first-grade exotic beasts. He can only eat a little bit of the flesh and blood of second-grade exotic beasts, but not too much." Qin Ziling said.

Shao'e's eyes widened when she heard this, and she said with a trembling voice with disbelief on her face: "Then, is that Eight Wilds Black Python for me?"

"Why should I bring it back if I don't give it to you?" Qin Ziling said with a smile.

After Shao E got the affirmative answer, she was as dumb as a clay sculpture.

The Bahuang Black Python is as famous as the Bahuang Green Python!

Last year, Xu Pengkun and his son had such a good opportunity to discover an Eight Desolate Green Python outside Wuyang Mountain. As a result, two Huajin martial artists, as well as her and another Yunjin martial artist, not only failed to keep the Eight Desolate Green Python.

, but ruined the life of a Yunjin martial artist.

It is conceivable that the flesh and blood of third-grade exotic beasts such as the Bahuang Jade Python are not something that a person like her is qualified to take as a supplement.

No, to be precise, even Xu Pengkun and his son, the Huajin martial arts master who was considered a big shot in Fangshang City, were not qualified to eat it.

But now, Qin Ziling said softly that the piece of Bahuang black python meat, which was at least four meters long, was specially given to her!

"Master, I..." For a long time, Shao'e couldn't help but her eyes were red, her voice was stuck in her throat, and she was speechless.

"As for the secret of energy transformation, you first ask Master Zuo. If you still can't understand it, I will take you to ask another person for help." Qin Ziling saw that Shao E was too moved to speak, so he patted her shoulder lightly and said.

Seeing Qin Ziling mention Zuo Le, both Shao E and Liu Xiaoqiang's expressions changed slightly.

"What's wrong?" Qin Ziling immediately noticed the change in the expressions of the two people.

"Master Zuo is injured!" Liu Xiaoqiang replied, with a look of resentment on his face.

"How could he be injured?" Qin Ziling's face changed slightly when he heard this, but he quickly regained his composure and asked in a deep voice.

Looking at Qin Ziling with a calm face, Liu Xiaoqiang and Shao E inexplicably felt a chill rising from their backs.

"He was injured by Pang Tianpeng of the Pang family." Liu Xiaoqiang replied.

"Pang Tianpeng? Even if he is the son of the governor, he can't hurt Master Zuo for no reason, right?" Qin Ziling said coldly.

"This matter is naturally not that simple to say. It must involve a struggle between various forces, and it is also related to the fact that the Yu family was defeated and fled Fangcheng City, and there is no longer a powerful enough force to restrain the Pang family.

Otherwise, even if Pang Tianpeng has a county guard father behind him and a strong master's background, he would not be able to directly come and injure Master Zuo." Liu Xiaoqiang replied.

"Well, I just heard my mother mention it about the Yu family, but she doesn't know much about it. I was just going to ask you about it." Qin Ziling nodded.

"Sister Shao'e and I generally live in seclusion. Regarding the sudden siege of the Yu family by the Pang family and the Lin family, we actually don't know much more than Madam. If you want to know more about it, I'm afraid you have to go to Shuiyue Villa to ask Master Zuo." Liu

Xiaoqiang said.

"Yes." Qin Ziling nodded, and then asked: "Is Master Zuo seriously injured?"

"The injury is a bit serious. It has damaged the foundation of strength. It will be very difficult for martial artist Zuo to recover at his age." The person who answered this question was not Liu Xiaoqiang but Shao E.

Apparently Shao E visited Zuo Le after he was injured.

The flesh on Qin Ziling's face twitched when he heard this, and then quickly returned to normal, saying calmly: "My mother doesn't know, does she?"

"We didn't tell Madam about this because we were afraid she would be worried," Shao'e replied.

"Well, you guys have done a good job on this matter." Qin Ziling nodded, and then said to Shao E: "There is no urgency about the secret to the strength. During this time, you should stew more Bahuang black python meat to supplement the strength."

Condensed to be strong and strong, Xiaoqiang also tries his best to supplement and strive for an early breakthrough."

"Yes!" Shao'e and Liu Xiaoqiang replied with a slight bow.

…

After breakfast, Qin Ziling came to Shuiyue Villa.

I haven't been back for more than two months, and Shuiyue Villa has undergone great changes.

The wall is now tall and strong, and there are archery tower sentries built around the villa, including on the back mountain, with archers exuding a strong aura standing on them, scanning the surroundings with vigilant eyes.

A group of people gathered at the martial arts training ground in the villa early in the morning.

They are all practicing martial arts seriously.

In addition to some old faces from the Yuanhan Iron Palm Courtyard that Qin Ziling was familiar with, these people also had a few new faces and some teenagers.

Senior brother Zheng Xinghan is also there, walking around the martial arts training ground with his hands behind his back. In the right corner of the martial arts training ground, under a willow tree, Zuo Le is lying on a wicker chair with squinted eyes, and the morning sun is mottled through the wicker branches and leaves.

There was a hint of old age and paleness on his face.

"Qin, senior brother Qin, you, you are here!"

"Senior Brother Qin, you are here!"

As soon as the short and stout Bao Yingjun saw Qin Ziling, he immediately ran up to him and bowed slightly to say hello. Behind him was the limping Yuntai, who also bowed to say hello with a very respectful attitude.

Seeing the short and stuttering Bao Yingjun and the lame Yuntai trotting one after another to greet Qin Ziling with respectful attitudes, in addition to Zheng Xinghan, Muxuan and Zuo Le, who was lying on the willow wicker chair, understood in their hearts,

Those older disciples of Hantie Zhangyuan, such as Lu Taiqiang and others who knew Qin Ziling's background, all had a look of envy on their faces.

Now, who doesn't know that Bao Yingjun is Zuo Le's most valued disciple, and just two days ago, Bao Yingjun's fists broke through the cowhide and became an iron-skin martial arts disciple.

From cowhide to iron, it took Bao Yingjun less than four months, which was two months faster than Nangong Yue, who died in the line of duty more than two months ago.

As for Yuntai, although he was a cripple, no one was optimistic about him at first. But after practicing for more than two months, his talent in martial arts and the level of hard work he showed were surprising. It was probably Han Tie.

Another genius in charge of the academy.

As for these two geniuses, one was brought by Qin Ziling back then, and the other was recommended by Qin Ziling, and they are both grateful people. They have almost exhausted Qin Ziling's potential and rarely show his face for a long time.

The disciples in the inner courtyard are extremely respectful.

"Well!" Qin Ziling nodded to the two of them, and then said to Zheng Xinghan who came over: "Senior Brother Zheng, long time no see."

"Yes, you were away for a long time this time!" Zheng Xinghan said with emotion on his face.

There are really too many things that have happened in these two months.

"Why did you move the martial arts gym to Shuiyue Villa?" Qin Ziling asked.

Logically speaking, the apprentices of Hantie Zhangyuan should practice martial arts in Hantie Zhangyuan in the county.

"It's a long story. You'd better go see Master Zuo first." Zheng Xinghan said after hearing this.

"Okay!" Qin Ziling nodded, and then walked towards Zuo Le under the shade of the willow tree.

"Master Zuo, Zi Ling gives it to you..." Qin Ziling bowed and cupped his hands.

"You're back!" Zuo Le said, sitting upright before Qin Ziling could say anything else.

"Yes, this disciple has broken through to the iron skin level, so he came to report to Master Zuo." Qin Ziling said.

In total, it has been a year since he stepped into the cowhide field, and the situation in the city has obviously changed. If he keeps a low profile, it will be inconvenient for him to act, so it is time to show his iron-hide level.

Of course, his foundation is still shallow, and it would be inappropriate to be too high-profile.

For a year, Tiepi was not too conspicuous, but he was still somewhat powerful. In this way, he would often come in and out of Shuiyue Villa, be privately called by Zuo Le to run a small stove, or be sent to do things by Zuo Le, without appearing out of the blue.

"Okay, okay! I didn't expect you to break through to the iron skin level without saying a word. If I remember correctly, it took you almost a year to go from cowhide to iron skin. This talent is not bad!"

Zuo Le stood up suddenly and patted Qin Ziling on the shoulder with a happy expression, as if he had just learned that he had broken through to the iron plate.

"What? Zi Ling actually broke through to the level of iron skin?"

"No, Senior Brother Qin actually broke through?"

"Yes, doesn't it mean that Senior Brother Qin has no talent in martial arts, and he worked hard for three years before breaking through to cowhide at the last moment? How come it only took him one year to break through from cowhide to ironhide? Could it be that he is one of those late bloomers?

Are you the kind of person who becomes more powerful as time goes by?"

"It's very possible! I heard that Senior Brother Qin's family background is poor and his bones are average, so he has only been working hard in the realm of muscles and bones for three years. In fact, he is very perseverant, practices very hard, and has a high level of understanding. Over the past year,

He often wanders outside, definitely to make money to nourish his body and make up for his shortcomings, so it seems normal to take one year to break through to the iron plate."

"Nowadays, Shuiyue Villa is rich in resources for cultivation. Master Zuo rewards those who are loyal, respectful of teachers, and talented in martial arts. He is even willing to give out the meat of exotic animals for free to train his disciples. So in just over two months,

After coming down, Senior Brother Yu, Senior Brother Shen and others all broke through to the iron skin level.

Senior Brother Qin is a man of great integrity and values ​​​​love and righteousness. He has always been trusted by Master Zuo. Now that he has unleashed his potential and talent in martial arts, it seems that Master Zuo will definitely cultivate him in the future."

Over at the martial arts training ground, when they heard the conversation between Zuo Le and Qin Ziling, some people who were familiar with Qin Ziling immediately started talking about it.
