Chapter 299: Chapter 185: Eight Zhang Gang Qi! Hunting Dragon Alliance Meeting!

The meeting place of the Hunting Dragon Alliance was an inconspicuous tavern.

According to Li Xuanji, the contact was the shop owner and the staff of the tavern.

Su Que lifted the tavern’s curtain and walked in.

Immediately, all eyes in the tavern turned towards Su Que.

At this moment, Su Que was wearing a cloak and a conical hat on his head, with a long package hanging on his back.

One glance was enough to tell he wasn’t an ordinary traveler stopping for a rest.

Su Que also scanned the tavern with a glance.

Some had a single saber at their waist, some had a longsword resting on the bench beside them, some had calloused hands holding a cup, and some had slightly bulging temples.

"There seem to be quite a few martial artists here. I wonder if they’re all eyeing the Wu Family’s items."

Su Que only glanced at these people briefly before moving on, thinking to himself.

Afterward, he walked to an empty table, sat down, and set down the iron box containing the Twelve Dragon-slaying Shuttles.

Su Que smelled the fragrance of the wine in the tavern and the aroma of the side dishes, tapping his fingers lightly on the table.

Soon, a waiter with a long white towel draped over his shoulder came over and courteously asked Su Que what he wanted.

Su Que slightly revealed the token of the Hunting Dragon Alliance for the waiter to see.

The waiter, seeing this, nodded slightly and still asked Su Que what kind of wine and side dishes he wanted.

Su Que ordered a jar of Bamboo Leaf Green and a plate of sautéed goose liver.

The waiter acknowledged and then left.

Before long, when the waiter brought the wine and drinking bowls over, a small slip of paper was slightly visible under the bowl.

Then, he placed the bowl down, opened the wine jar, and poured a bowl of wine for Su Que.

The aroma of the Bamboo Leaf Green grew stronger.

After filling the bowl about seventy percent full, the waiter said, "Enjoy," and left.

Su Que, after waiting for the waiter to leave, noticed that there was no attention directed at him nearby.

He then quietly slid the bowl aside and took out the slip of paper underneath it.

He quickly unfolded the note, took a look, and then held it in his hand, tucking it into his clothing.

Just in that moment, he had seen the meeting time and place of the Hunting Dragon Alliance written on the note.

Before long, the sautéed goose liver, his side dish, was also brought to him.

Su Que slightly lifted his Rakshasa Mask, revealing only his mouth, drank the wine, ate the side dish, paid, and then left the place.

As he walked out of the tavern, he pondered his plans for the coming days.

Earlier, he saw on the note that the meeting was in ten days.

He estimated that the meeting would discuss the details of the operation.

The day for action wasn’t far off.

He needed to utilize these ten days to train even harder to better prepare for the upcoming matters.

The next day, when the sky was just barely bright, he got out of bed, sat cross-legged on it, and began to enhance his martial arts cultivation.

Within his body, he continuously compressed and condensed his True Qi, making the Gang Qi denser and increasing its lethal reach.

He introspected his body, channeling all his True Qi into the Ren Meridian in front of him.

The True Qi swirled as it gathered and compressed, forming into a strand of Gang Qi.

Martial Arts Realm: Gang Condensing Realm · Seventy-eight Feet

He looked at his attributes, "Seventy-eight feet" was the lethal range of his Gang Qi. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

In terms of pure lethal range of Inner Qi, it was beyond this distance.

If he released his True Qi, he could easily kill a chicken from ten feet away.

The cultivation of the Gang Condensing Realm was focused on the Inner Qi.

When reaching the peak of this realm, not only could the Gang Qi have a lethal range of twelve feet, but one’s use of Inner Qi would reach a state of refined skill.

Martial artists who reached the peak of this realm could not only form Gang Qi into various shapes when projected outward but also use it to protect their body inside and out.

Of course, the basics of cultivating Inner Qi in the Gang Condensing Realm require widened meridians and a large amount of Inner Qi.

The foundation for widened meridians was laid during the Meridian Opening Realm.

Whereas a large amount of Inner Qi requires martial artists to consistently cultivate Inner Strength, allowing more Inner Qi to be produced within their body.

And the quality of Gang Qi is also very important regarding Inner Strength.

Some martial artists’ Gang Qi is as hard as iron and stone, while others’ Gang Qi shatters upon contact with another martial artist’s, like porcelain.

This difference arises from the True Qi generated from the Inner Strength each martial artist has cultivated.

Therefore, some martial artists, upon reaching the Gang Condensing Realm and discovering their Gang Qi quality is too poor, often seek better Inner Strength to cultivate again.

However, Su Que’s primary Inner Strength cultivation, the Marriage Robe Divine Skill, was already formidable.

Moreover, since he hadn’t dispersed skill while practicing the Marriage Robe Divine Skill, the True Qi from it became even more intense, like thunder and fire.

Thus, his version of the Marriage Robe Divine Skill was much more powerful than the original.

Su Que continuously circulated his True Qi, condensing it into the Ren Meridian.

Although his Ren Meridian wasn’t seventy-eight feet long, the Gang Qi condensed within it was extremely small relative to his body.

But he knew that as long as this Gang Qi was released, it would have a lethal range of seventy-eight feet.

Su Que practiced for about half an hour before hearing the inn start its operations downstairs, prompting him to get out of bed, wash up, and then go downstairs to have the inn’s waiter instruct the kitchen to prepare breakfast for him.

After all, he was now deep in the Central Plains, and no matter how large his appetite, people might be surprised, but they wouldn’t delve deep into his identity.
