Chapter 75 The Relationship Between Innate Talent and Evolutionary Supernatural Powers
"Stop here? Sister Xiaofu, what happened? Didn't you just say you wanted to cooperate with Lu Ming?"
Seeing Qian Xiaofu's expression change, Li Youning hurriedly asked.
Qian Xiaofu's composure had vanished, replaced by a grave expression. She said, "Do you know that Lu Ming has offended Guo Yuan of the Tianheng Sword Sect? Guo Yuan has threatened to kill him. The conflict is irreconcilable. Since that's the case, I can no longer cooperate with him."
Upon hearing this, Li Youning immediately frowned. Guo Yuan?
She knew, of course, that Guo Yuan had become a disciple of the Tianheng Sword Sect, and a core disciple at that, which could be described as a meteoric rise.
Near Qingning Prefecture, there are only two first-class sects. Among them, Tianheng Sword Sect is ranked first, and Guo Yuan is the disciple of the deputy sect master of Tianheng Sword Sect, so his status is even more extraordinary.
However, Guo Yuan and she did not have any direct hatred, so he did not cause her any trouble after he became famous.
When she heard that Guo Yuan had threatened to kill Lu Ming, she knew that this was probably because of the grudge between Lu Ming and Guo Zhengwei when Lu Ming was in Chiyun County.
In fact, she came to persuade Qian Xiaofu today with this concern in mind. If she could help Lu Ming solve this problem, her relationship with Lu Ming would naturally become closer.
Her mind raced, and she said, "Sister Xiaofu, don't forget, Lu Ming is a genius who has mastered the sword technique, and because of his great achievements, he will definitely be able to enter a first-class sect."
"Although he and Guo Yuan had some grudges, once he entered the sect, their statuses would be similar."
"Lu Ming has killed a martial artist who has reached the Great Perfection of Tendon Refining. I think he definitely has the ability to fight Guo Yuan."
Upon hearing this, Qian Xiaofu shook her head. "You don't understand. Even among disciples of top-tier sects, there are differences. Guo Yuan is a core disciple, but can Lu Ming become a core disciple? There is a huge difference between ordinary disciples and core disciples."
"His current cultivation level is only at the Great Perfection of Flesh Refinement, which is a whole realm lower than Guo Yuan's. Guo Yuan may even break through to the Bone Forging Realm in the near future."
"Lu Ming's innate talent is definitely not very good, which will drag down his overall talent. If his overall talent is not high, even if he enters a first-class sect, he will not be able to become a core disciple."
Li Youning quickly said, "Isn't there some rare and precious materials that can improve one's innate talent? With the financial resources of Jin Ding Money House, if we are willing to put in the effort, we should be able to collect a set, right? As long as we make up for this weakness in innate talent, Lu Ming's future achievements will be limitless."
Qian Xiaofu frowned deeply, looking at Li Youning with a speechless expression. "Youning, do you know how rare it is to obtain rare and precious natural treasures that can enhance one's physical constitution? If my Jin Ding Money House were to exert all its efforts, it would certainly be possible to obtain a portion of them."
"However, that will inevitably cause serious damage, even severely depleting one's vital energy."
"The final result is not necessarily guaranteed."
"You Ning, you don't need to say anything more. Let's leave it at that. Since you've already invited him, treat him well today, but this is a one-time exception."
Upon hearing this, Li Youning felt helpless. Qian Xiaofu was the type to not act until she saw a tangible benefit, so persuading her to help Lu Ming was probably impossible.
She took a deep breath, stood up and said, "I'm sorry, Sister Xiaofu, I didn't think it through. I'll go outside now and wait for Lu Ming to arrive. We'll meet at the restaurant outside and catch up."
Qian Xiaofu's expression softened slightly. Li Youning was sensible and knew not to cause her any trouble.
In fact, she was indeed wary of Guo Yuan, and after saying something polite, she let Li Youning go out when she saw that Li Youning insisted.
Outside the Golden Tripod Money Exchange.
Lu Ming and Feng Qingzhu had just stepped off the carriage when they saw Li Youning, whom they hadn't seen in a long time, hurrying out to greet them with a smile.
"Brother Lu, Qingzhu, we've finally met again! Brother Lu, you've changed so much!"
Li Youning stood gracefully before Lu Ming, her beautiful eyes scanning him up and down with a hint of admiration.
Although Lu Ming was good-looking before, he didn't have a particularly outstanding presence. Now, after a series of events, Lu Ming has begun to show his talent. He is now exceptionally handsome and has an outstanding presence. He exudes a spirited and heroic aura that makes her heart flutter at first sight.
However, she soon saw Feng Qingzhu's graceful figure standing beside Lu Ming. Her usual aloof demeanor had changed, and her gaze towards Lu Ming seemed somewhat gentle.
She was secretly taken aback. Feng Qingzhu had a bad background and was aloof and arrogant. Even she couldn't open her heart to Feng Qingzhu. But now she seemed to have a close relationship with Lu Ming. Perhaps this was the charm of a genius.
And she had just failed the exam.
Li Youning sighed inwardly, put aside those unnecessary thoughts, smiled slightly, and led Lu Ming and Feng Qingzhu to a nearby restaurant, where they went into a private room to chat.
Lu Ming was somewhat surprised that he had invited him to the Golden Tripod Bank, but instead they had come to a restaurant instead.
However, it didn't matter where they met. Lu Ming was only slightly puzzled, but quickly suppressed his thoughts. Perhaps it wasn't convenient for Li Youning to be living under someone else's roof. In the private room of the restaurant, the three, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, chatted about their recent situations and some interesting things in Qingning Prefecture, and had a very pleasant conversation.
Only at the very end did Li Youning sigh and say, "The path of martial arts is a path for geniuses. I can't even get into a second-rate sect. From now on, I can only give up martial arts and go back to manage my family business."
"Qingning Prefecture is no longer suitable for my Li family. In a few days, my Li family will move again to a neighboring prefecture to visit our old friends and seek an opportunity to make a comeback."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ming and Feng Qingzhu exchanged a glance and remained silent.
In this world where martial arts reign supreme, the Li family's only hope currently rests on Li Youning. Since Li Youning failed the exam, staying in the prefectural city risks him being devoured. The only option is to leave.
Lu Ming couldn't help her much now, so he just said, "Let me know when you leave, don't leave quietly again."
Li Youning knew that the Li family was in a dangerous situation and that Lu Ming should be willing to protect them. She felt a warmth in her heart and thought that since Guo Yuan had not yet broken through to the Bone Forging Realm, Lu Ming should have no problem traveling outside. She smiled and said, "Definitely."
After a long while, the banquet finally came to an end.
After leaving the restaurant, Li Youning hesitated for a moment before saying to Lu Ming, "Brother Lu, your innate talent can actually be improved with rare and precious herbs, but my Li family can't help you with that. It requires substantial financial resources and connections. I originally wanted to persuade Jin Ding Money House to sponsor you, but—I didn't succeed."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ming's eyes lit up.
Can one's innate talent be improved using rare and precious materials?
He didn't know that.
If one can improve their physical constitution, not only will their cultivation speed increase, but their efficiency in developing supernatural powers may also improve.
Based on his understanding of the supernatural power panel, this is highly likely. The martial arts experience he gains each time he cultivates might increase as his innate talent improves.
Improving his physical constitution is extremely important to him!
Lu Ming secretly made a mental note of this matter, and he would definitely try it if he had the chance in the future.
The three parted ways. Li Youning returned to Jin Ding Money Shop, while Feng Qingzhu said she was going to buy something and also left on her own.
Lu Ming then walked alone toward the Prefectural City Military Affairs Office.
Along the way, he thought about rare and precious materials that could improve one's physical constitution. He had never heard of such treasures before, and they were probably extremely rare and priceless. He didn't even have a way to inquire about them, so it would be difficult to obtain them in the short term.
At one point, Lu Ming suddenly stopped. This time, apart from eating and chatting, he used the Heavenly Leakage Divine Power the whole time he came out.
At that moment, he suddenly realized that the people selling shoes by the roadside, the people walking on the road, and the people living on both sides of the alley ahead were all martial arts masters with extraordinary auras.
One of them stood quietly by the wall, his aura calm and composed, having clearly reached the Bone Forging Realm!
Such a large-scale operation! Who are they planning to ambush?
Lu Ming was curious. He didn't believe that so many martial arts masters would live in an ordinary alley, disguised as ordinary people. It was obvious that they had ulterior motives.
He turned and left immediately, unwilling to get involved.
