Chapter 382: Chapter 371: Butcher Blacksmith 14, Deduction

"The world beyond Xunyang Prefecture?"

Upon hearing these words, Liu Yi showed an expression of surprise.

Xunyang Prefecture is vast, so vast that many people spend their entire lives unable to leave.

Even the Mountain Patrol Silver General is no exception.

The General Mansion of Xunyang Prefecture has spent many years, only then having the chance to transfer out of Xunyang Prefecture, and now, Long Tianxing actually says Qin An has the chance to set foot outside Xunyang Prefecture.

This greatly shocked Liu Yi.

Granny Lv Luo’s delicate eyebrows knitted slightly: "I know a thing or two about the outside world, are you so sure Qin An can leave Xunyang?"

Long Tianxing’s lips curled into a mysterious smile: "It’s not about being optimistic, but certain, if there’s anyone in Xunyang Prefecture who can break out of the realm as a Mountain Patrol General, it would only be Qin An."

Granny Lv Luo’s brows furrowed deeper: "No more talking, I’m leaving."

She felt that continuing the conversation here wouldn’t yield much progress.

It’s nothing more than discussing how Qin An might leave Xunyang Prefecture.

The matter had to be put on hold, as she had many important things to handle now.

Remaining here was just a waste of time.

Long Tianxing watched the backs of Granny Lv Luo and Liu Yi as they left, shaking his head slightly.

Soon after, the lake only had him left.

Long Tianxing no longer lingered. Operating his True Essence, his body suddenly transformed into a massive true dragon, diving into the depths of the lake.

The lake’s surface shook violently, then returned to calm, as if a true dragon had never appeared there.

...

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, many days had gone by,

During this time, Xunyang Prefecture was in a subtle balance of peace and chaos, with occasional disruptions by monsters, but most of the time, these creatures were quickly dealt with by the people of Xunyang Prefecture.

The commoners continued living their usual lives, with only a few places tormented by the havoc of monster pseudo-gods.

During this period, the most talked about within the Evil Extermination Bureau of Xunyang Prefecture was Qin An.

Many Prefecture Generals, having heard about Qin An’s identity from friends, became increasingly fascinated by this mysterious Mountain Patrol Silver General.

Tales of Qin An had already spread across Xunyang Prefecture.

Some newly appointed Prefecture Generals could hardly conceal their shock upon hearing Qin An’s legends.

A grassroots individual who emerged from Ding County, fighting his way up, relying solely on that straight blade in his hand, first exterminating countless monster pseudo-gods in Ding County, then heading to Lingzhou, pacifying the chaos there.

Eventually taking root in Xunyang Prefecture.

His rise from a mere Copper Mansion General to a Mountain Patrol Silver General in such a short time was nothing short of legendary.

Many Prefecture Generals planned to pay their respects to Qin An, hoping to make a memorable impression for future gains.

Yet unexpectedly, Qin An had been reclusive lately, sticking to the same routines daily.

This left those with ulterior motives quite disappointed.

Only those familiar with Qin An knew that every time he returned to the Evil Extermination Bureau, it was like this.

At this moment, in a small courtyard.

Zhou Yuanfeng was drinking with Tang Zizhen.

Since Zhou Yuanfeng often brought wine jars to Tang Zizhen’s place with sly remarks, the two seemed to have reached an unspoken understanding, taking time every day to drink in the courtyard.

Their conversations often revolved around the affairs, big and small, within Xunyang Prefecture, with most topics centering on Qin An.

Tang Zizhen gently swirled the wine in her cup, looked up, and said, "He hasn’t left the Evil Extermination Bureau for months. Who knows what he’s plotting."

"Recently, he was at the butcher shop slaughtering animals for free, and now he’s forging iron at the blacksmith." Zhou Yuanfeng filled his cup, shaking his head with a smile: "Truly puzzling."

Both had interacted with Qin An, especially Zhou Yuanfeng, having once been in a superior-subordinate relationship with Qin An, thus paying him close attention.

Though during this time Qin An, as always, seemed to have irregular patterns.

But this time spanned longer, leaving the two quite puzzled.

Tang Zizhen spun her cup with a flicker in her gaze: "I heard Granny Lv Luo entrusted someone to give him something?"

Zhou Yuanfeng yawned: "Be cautious with your words; don’t pry too much. Knowing too much isn’t always beneficial."

"By saying that..." Tang Zizhen curiously asked: "Do you actually know what it is?"

Zhou Yuanfeng shook his head: "I don’t know. Do you remember what I told you? The current us is no longer at Qin An’s level."

"Something Qin An has access to doesn’t mean we do."

"All we need to do is be good observers, watching how he stirs up Xunyang Prefecture in the days to come."

"You still value him so much." Tang Zizhen shook her head, about to say more.

But then, a Prefecture General suddenly walked in from outside the courtyard.

"Reporting to Mr. Zhou, Mr. Qin has finally gone to the Confidential Library."

Upon hearing this, both Zhou Yuanfeng and Tang Zizhen set down their cups, looking thoughtful.

The Prefecture General appeared somewhat nervous before the two Jin Mansion Generals, unsure of where to place his hands and feet.

Zhou Yuanfeng snapped back to reality, waved his sleeve: "You’ve worked hard, you may return; I’ll call you if needed."

Hearing this, the Prefecture General felt like he was granted amnesty, respectfully bowed, then left the courtyard.

Tang Zizhen slightly frowned, whispering: "He’s gone to the Confidential Library again. According to past patterns, after visiting the Confidential Library, he would have significant advancements, then take on a task."

Zhou Yuanfeng raised his glass as a gesture: "Senior Sister, you’re right, which is why I told you, we only need to observe; now let’s see what storm Qin An stirs up this time."

The two stopped discussing Qin An, as they had reached a conclusion.

Afterwards, the sound of clinking glasses echoed in the courtyard.

...

Inside the Confidential Library, Qin An was picking among the bookshelves, occasionally taking up a cultivation technique, quickly understanding the general content before putting it back.

Several Silver Mansion Generals hid in the shadows, quietly observing.

Muffled whispers echoed throughout the Confidential Library.

"After guarding for so many days, Mr. Qin finally came; it seems he’ll soon emerge to take on a task again."

"Don’t you have tasks usually? Why are you keeping watch over Mr. Qin every day?"

"There’s a task. Once it’s completed, you guard it. Don’t you know, now keeping guard while Mr. Qin goes out for missions has become essential for me."

"It seems you’re quite fervent, but you’re not as fervent as I am."

"Do you have an even higher level of fervor?"

"Naturally, I’m a devoted supporter of Mr. Qin. I’ve recorded every time Mr. Qin returns to the Evil Extermination Bureau. I believe it won’t be long before I can figure out his schedule."

"You’re indeed quite dedicated."

"We are each admirable in our own ways..."

Although the murmurs of the crowd were small, Qin An, with his level of cultivation, could hear them clearly.

Especially when he heard that a few guys were even watching him like voyeurs every day, he couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

"Indeed, with fame like a tree casting a shadow, the stronger the skills, the better the background, the more attention one receives. Fortunately, there’s no trouble."

Qin An picked up a cultivation technique manual, quickly flipped through the key points, and tucked it under his arm.

If he had just left Ding County and encountered such a situation, Qin An might have been quite pleased with himself.

But having experienced so many bloody storms, with hands stained with unimaginable blood,

Qin An now viewed others’ admiration and support as calmly as water.

After finding a book, Qin An carefully searched another bookshelf.

Later, among the numerous books, he found another cultivation technique manual, then walked towards the Internal Affairs Department officer.

Qin An placed the two books on the table: "Exchange these two cultivation techniques, and also give me five demon senses."

Now, Qin An’s achievements were sufficient to exchange for these things, so he did not hesitate at all.

The officer of the Internal Affairs Department knew who Qin An was, and without any superfluous words, swiftly proceeded according to Qin An’s instructions, respectfully handing the two copied cultivation techniques to Qin An.

Only then did Qin An carry the cultivation techniques along the bluestone path of the Evil Extermination Bureau back to his residence.

...

The door was closed by Qin An, and the outside weather was excellent.

Qin An did not light an oil lamp; he just sat on the chair and took a sip of clear tea.

As Qin An set down the teacup, the smoke before him swirled and gathered into lines of text, floating in the air like serpents.

[Butcher lv.14 (0/20000): The livestock you slaughter are more delicious, with enhanced essence, increased slaughter speed, and improved precision.]

[Talents: Inner God Realm Blade Skill Perfection, Inner God Realm Weapon Skill Insight Perfection, Inner God Realm Blade Skill Damage Perfection, Inner God Realm Blade Skill Armor Penetration Perfection]

...

[Blacksmith lv.14 (0/20000): The quality of the items you forge improves, material consumption reduces, item attributes enhance, and forging speed increases.]

[Talents: Inner God Realm Strength Skill Perfection, Inner God Realm Spiritual Forging, Inner God Realm Heart Forging Skill Perfection, Inner God Realm Spiritual Nurturing Skill Perfection]

"Dual professions at level fourteen, yet another major breakthrough."

Qin An looked at the smoke in front of him, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Recently, Qin An had been living a two-point lifestyle, either training proficiency or taking a break at the Evil Extermination Bureau, hardly doing anything else.

This monotonous life brought about great improvement.

The Blacksmith and Butcher both successfully reached level fourteen, which was a significant enhancement to Qin An’s own strength.

Qin An thought for a moment and picked up the first cultivation technique manual to read.

The cultivation technique was called Four Symbols Frenzy Dragon Saber, a four-attribute blade skill.

This blade skill was of no use to many Mountain Patrol Generals.

After all, no one could consecutively cultivate four different attribute heart methods.

But this blade skill, covered in dust in the Confidential Library, was timely help for Qin An.

Currently, the Three-Colored Ruthless Blood Transformation Saber only had three attribute combinations, and the four attributes of the Four Symbols Frenzy Dragon Saber just happened to make up for its deficiencies.

If merged, it would have seven attributes.

The blade skill with seven attributes, combined with the Seven-Colored True Essence, could be brought to its maximum potential.

As Qin An read on, his Scholar Profession proficiency increased slightly.

Qin An finished reading the last word and put the book on the table, then stood up and drew Cold Star.

Once Cold Star was unsheathed, Qin An started practicing the maneuvers of the Four Symbols Frenzy Dragon Saber.

Every swing of the saber had four kinds of True Qi spread across it, with the sound of dragon roars echoing throughout the room.

The Four Symbols Frenzy Dragon Saber not only carried four attributes but also had dragon roars to disrupt the enemy.

As soon as Qin An executed the blade skill, a line of smoke immediately appeared before his eyes.

[You practice the Four Symbols Frenzy Dragon Saber, triggering the Butcher talent, and under the talent’s boost, you gain insight.]

[Four Symbols Frenzy Dragon Saber (Great Success)]

As the smoke appeared, a large amount of information flooded into Qin An’s mind.

Qin An instantly mastered all the essentials of the Four Symbols Frenzy Dragon Saber.

But this was not Qin An’s limit.

With a slight spin of the long blade in Qin An’s hand, the blade technique shifted from the Four Symbols Frenzy Dragon Saber to the Three-Colored Ruthless Blood Transformation Saber.

When the Three-Colored Ruthless Blood Transformation Saber was wielded by Qin An, the smoke before his eyes dissipated abruptly.

Then, it transformed into a new line of text, floating in mid-air.

[You possess both the Three-Colored Ruthless Blood Transformation Saber and the Four Symbols Frenzy Dragon Saber, intending to merge them into one.]

[Due to insufficient talent, the fusion failed.]

[Now surrounded by internal and external troubles, you deeply feel that Xunyang Prefecture is fraught with dangers, walking on thin ice.]

[If you cannot elevate your cultivation, you will surely meet your demise.]

[You plan to burn your blood essence, meditating for years after an extensive consumption of blood essence, a flicker of insight emerges in your mind.]

[However, this glimmer is insufficient to merge the two, and, anxious, you burn a large amount of blood essence again.]

[After burning a vast amount of blood essence once more, you finally gain insight and fuse the two into one.]

[You name the new cultivation technique Seven Star Ruthless Blood Transformation Saber.]

[Seven Star Ruthless Blood Transformation Saber (Great Success)]
