the other side.

With the support of the Qingfeng Gangqi, Lin Qing moved swiftly and quickly, leaving the abandoned street behind and arriving at an inn in a bustling part of the city, called Fuchun Inn.

Lin Qing chose a superior room, sat cross-legged on the bed, and slowly exhaled a breath of fresh air, his mind completely calmed down.

He first reviewed the battle in his mind, a habit he had developed over a long period of time.

"The Qi formed by the combined Qi cultivation technique does have the strength to rival true Qi, but it still has certain disadvantages."

"This is reflected in two aspects: first, the intensity is insufficient; second, it cannot be released outside the body and cannot form an air domain."

"The first problem can be solved. I'm only just starting out with the One-Day Merging Technique. As I integrate more and more forces, the strength of my Qi will also increase. If a hundred forces aren't enough, perhaps two hundred, three hundred, or even five hundred forces will be enough for my Qi to go head-to-head with True Essence Qi," Lin Qing thought to himself.

This is the power of the Unity of Heaven Technique: the strength of the Qi is directly linked to the amount of fused energy, resulting in an extremely high growth potential.

"Secondly, the ability to flexibly change the attributes of Qi according to the actual situation is my greatest advantage."

"In addition, my physical strength far exceeds that of ordinary True Essence Realm martial artists, which is my second major advantage."

"Now I can be certain that I possess the strength to kill a True Yuan Realm martial artist," Lin Qing said with absolute confidence.

He was somewhat apprehensive beforehand because there was a huge gap between True Essence and True Qi, and crossing that gap to fight across realms was no easy task.

But now, he was completely at ease. If he could kill Ao Xiong, he could kill other True Yuan Martial Artists.

"With Ao Xiong's death, the city will definitely be shaken. The Soul Suppression Division will definitely conduct a thorough investigation, and it's hard to guarantee that they won't find me. It would be best to find evidence to confirm that Ao Xiong was a spy for the Soul Suppression Division. That way, even if someone finds out that I killed Ao Xiong, the Soul Suppression Division will not punish me."

Lin Qing pondered for a moment, then suddenly absorbed Ao Xiong's soul. He felt that he should start with Ao Xiong's memories.

In a short while, memories of Ao Xiong's life transformed into numerous scattered fragments, flashing before my eyes like a revolving lantern.

After Lin Qing finished digesting the information, he indeed obtained a lot of valuable information. He could find seven or eight pieces of evidence that proved Ao Xiong was a spy for the Yin Yuan Sect.

"Ao Xiong owns several residences in the city, one of which is near me. There is a wooden box under the bed in his bedroom containing secret letters between him and Deng Qianyu of the Yin Yuan Sect. I need to find a way to get my hands on it so that I can use it to get away with my crimes if the Soul Suppression Division finds out about me in the future," Lin Qing pondered.

At this moment, a large amount of information appeared before him, all of which were Ao Xiong's martial arts skills throughout his life.

Lin Qing immediately noticed Ao Xiong's True Yuan Realm martial art, called Fiery Cloud Flame Splitting Palm. Practicing this skill allows one to enter the True Yuan Realm upon first learning it, transforming the body's protective energy into true energy.

This true energy is like magma. When it hits an enemy, it can adhere to their body and cause continuous damage. It is also inextinguishable by water, like a maggot clinging to a bone, extremely difficult to extinguish. The body of the person hit will be gradually burned to ashes, causing unbearable pain.

The aura field generated by this true energy also has this characteristic, like a sea of ​​lava and fire. Enemies who are in it will be bound and unable to move, and will be burned to ashes.

Lin Qing had personally experienced how powerful this martial art was, but he hesitated when it came to whether or not to replicate it.

Because if he were to use this martial art to reach the True Essence Realm, it would conflict with the Unity of Heaven Technique in the future.

By combining the power of a thousand different forces, one will automatically enter the True Essence Realm.

While both are forms of true essence, the latter brings a greater boost to combat power than the former.

After all, the quality of the He Tian Gong is sixth-tier gold, while this Fiery Cloud Flame Crack Palm is only a fourth-tier famous item.

"If you want to improve your immediate combat power, you should copy this Fiery Cloud Flame Splitting Palm. But if you want to pursue the upper limit and look to the future, you should copy the True Qi Realm martial arts."

"Of course, there is a second option: do not copy it for now, and copy the Fiery Cloud Flame Splitting Palm after you break through to the True Essence stage."

After a moment's thought, Lin Qing decided to replicate Ao Xiong's True Qi Realm training method, naming it the Beacon Fire Chasing Wind Sword. It can activate Beacon Fire Qi and has both sharpness and flame characteristics. It is also a fourth-tier famous item.

"As the head of the Jingming Division and the former head of the Ao family, Ao Xiong's martial arts skills are of high quality. Both of his training methods are at the fourth level, which is already the ceiling for martial artists in the prefecture city. Unless there is a fortuitous encounter, the highest level of martial arts that people can come into contact with and learn is the fourth level."

Lin Qing pondered for a moment, then directly copied this True Qi Cultivation Method and immediately added it to his equipment slot.

In an instant, Lin Qing's blood and qi surged, and a tingling pain spread through his muscles and bones. At the same time, his strength and endurance increased.

After a while, Lin Qing felt that his body's qi and blood had been depleted by more than half, so he put a Qi-replenishing pill in his mouth. Under the nourishment of the pill, his qi and blood were replenished again.

After about an hour, Lin Qing got up, and the transformation was finally over.

He stood by the bed and stretched his muscles, feeling as if his strength had increased by about 30,000 jin.

He stretched out his palm, and a fierce aura condensed within it. Its color was crimson, mixed with black stripes. It was the aura of beacon fire, which could sharpen weapons and also had a burning effect.

"It's a pity this place isn't convenient, otherwise I could test the power of this Beacon Fire Qi." Lin Qing thought to himself, as the flame in his palm gradually died down.

He then turned his gaze to the knife on the table beside him. When he was walking outside, he had wrapped the knife in black cloth to prevent anyone from recognizing it.

At this moment, he also glimpsed information about this weapon from Ao Xiong's memories.

This sword, named Tianjue, is one of the four famous swords of the Jinbaoge in the prefectural city. It is a true divine weapon, capable of cutting through iron like mud and being indestructible. Even a True Yuan Realm cultivator would perish if struck in a vital spot by this sword.

"It's a good knife, but it's too unique. I can only keep it hidden until Ao Xiong's undercover identity is exposed." Lin Qing drew the knife, examined it carefully for a while, then put it back in its sheath. His gaze fell on the panel, which showed that there were still four souls that had not been fully absorbed.

These four souls originated from the four assassins from before. Lin Qing only absorbed their memories; he did not replicate their martial arts.

"Continue, and now absorb these four souls completely as well," Lin Qing thought to himself.

So, for the next few hours, Lin Qing stayed in his room, copying martial arts techniques and improving his strength.

As dusk fell, Lin Qing finally completed his fourth transformation.

"The four True Qi Realm martial arts techniques brought about four transformations in total, increasing my strength by 130,000 jin."

Lin Qing casually threw a punch, which surprisingly produced a resounding sonic boom.

These four martial arts skills also added four types of internal energy to him: the Flowing Wind Qi corresponding to the Flowing Wind Sword, which can increase the speed of punches or swords and make them sharper; the Rock Qi corresponding to the Black Tortoise Suppressing Mountain Palm, which enhances his body's defense; the Illusionary Qi corresponding to the Thousand Illusions Palm, which allows his physical appearance to change in countless ways; and the Yellow Mud Qi corresponding to the Yellow Mud Palm, which has extremely strong adhesion and can cause his blood and qi to stagnate if it hits an enemy's body.
