Chapter 537: Chapter 534: Power Reaches Its Limit! Princess of Western Xia
"This Qi!"
Li Qiushui’s pupils enlarged, her scalp tingled.
Previously, Ding Ling had already given her a sense of heart palpitations akin to facing a mountain. Now, Ding Ling’s aura suddenly surged, becoming increasingly unfathomable and vast, making her instantly feel a sense of insignificance against the backdrop of the galaxy and universe.
If there had been any strength left to counterattack before.
Now there was none at all.
Ding Ling continued flipping through the secret manuals.
He read faster and faster.
One by one, the books on the shelves were finished by him.
These books encompass astronomy, geography, music, chess, calligraphy, painting, strange mechanisms, Eight Trigrams, mechanical skills, Medical Dao, miscellaneous schools, and everything you could imagine.
Ding Ling finished each book; each book reached full level.
The mysterious aura around him grew thicker.
His foundation grew deeper.
The progress of the Martial Arts Melting Furnace instantly advanced by 2 percentage points.
Previously, the progress of the Martial Arts Melting Furnace Body had reached 5%.
Now it jumped to 7% in one go.
It is clear that the richness of the library here surpasses that of the library in the Valley of Heartless where Gongsun Zhi resides.
Not only does the richness of the books surpass it, but many books also exceed in quality.
The library here indeed contains the finest of the fine.
It cannot be compared to the library of Gongsun Zhi.
Clearly, ordinary books and secret manuals won’t catch the eye of Li Qiushui.
The secret manuals that can catch her eye are naturally extremely rare.
Ding Ling’s Medical Dao skills reached new heights, becoming extraordinary.
The Medical Dao books here are likely to be the collection of the Carefree Sect, and the Medical Dao secret manuals of the Carefree Sect have cultivated top divine doctors like Xue Muhua!
You can understand from this!
Having extracted the essence of various schools around the world, Ding Ling’s skills became increasingly refined and remarkable.
The last few books he saw.
Were stored in a wooden box.
Ding Ling, with ’Eyes of Golden Flame’, having reached full level in Mechanical Skills, Stargazing Skill, etc., now absorbed the Mechanical Skill, Array Skill here, and easily saw where the mechanisms were hidden.
He walked to the right wall, knocked and tapped a few times, and heard a series of clicks.
The wall slowly recessed, and a wooden box emerged.
Ding Ling reached out, took hold of it, and opened it.
Inside, it surprisingly contained several secret manuals.
Small Faceless Skill.
North Nether Divine Skill.
Ripple Step.
Celestial Mountain Six Yang Palm!
Seeing the last secret manual, Ding Ling’s eyes brightened, and he picked it up to read.
Soon after.
[Celestial Mountain Six Yang Palm full level]
[Strength +0.3]
[Agility +0.2]
[Constitution +0.2]
This is a fiercely powerful palm technique!
There are nine styles in total, each one, when executed, harmonizes Yin and Yang Qi, blending hardness and softness, and is unstoppable!
Moreover, it’s written very clearly on it.
This palm technique can also resolve the Life and Death Talisman!
After Celestial Mountain Six Yang Palm reached full level, Ding Ling felt relieved. No wonder Li Qiushui wasn’t afraid of Heavenly Mountain Granny; with this Celestial Mountain Six Yang Palm by her side, what was there to fear?
Why does she have the secret manual of Celestial Mountain Six Yang Palm?
There’s no doubt, it must have been taken from Wuya Zi!
It’s likely the same with North Nether Divine Skill. If she can take North Nether Divine Skill, why not Celestial Mountain Six Yang Palm?
However, it seems Li Qiushui didn’t learn this palm technique, simply because it requires Yin Yang Qi in the Dantian to cultivate it. Ding Ling naturally possesses these two types of Qi in the Dantian, allowing him to perfectly unleash the power of this divine skill at full level.
Carefully sensing and experiencing it.
Ding Ling found this palm technique no less powerful than the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms! Truly remarkable!
"...!!"
Li Qiushui on the side was already stunned.
Seeing this.
How could she not know that Ding Ling’s accomplishments in Mechanical Skills and others must have reached the Transformation Realm, able to easily identify the mechanisms, something that even general Mechanical Masters couldn’t do, yet Ding Ling achieved.
Thinking of the scenes of Ding Ling flipping through books as if flipping pages.
Li Qiushui gasped, feeling somewhat toothy, and her heart was filled with deep envy and jealousy.
If only Li Qiushui had such talent...
Tap tap!
Ding Ling put away the Celestial Mountain Six Yang Palm and other secret manuals and walked out of the secret room, continuing to proceed further.
Deep inside, there was another secret room.
It was filled with a large amount of medicinal wine and other supplements beneficial for training.
Ding Ling was delighted.
He walked over, picked up a jar of medicinal wine, removed the lid, and began drinking it in large gulps.
After finishing a jar.
Ding Ling’s four-dimensional attributes increased:
[Strength +0.2]
[Agility +0.2]
[Constitution +0.2]
[Defense +0.2]
"Great wine!"
The medicinal Qi within the wine was extremely dense, and having been aged for many years, the aroma was intoxicating!
As soon as it entered his belly.
His entire body felt like stepping on clouds, utterly pleasant.
Upon seeing that the medicinal wine had such good effects.
Why would he hold back?
He immediately began drinking jar after jar.
Li Qiushui watched from the side, feeling a heartache, thinking: If I had known it would come to this, I would have taken this medicinal wine out and drunk it myself.
She originally planned to wait another year or two, letting the medicinal wine ferment to become more fragrant and mellow,
but now it’s all been taken by Ding Ling.
[Strength +0.2]
[Agility +0.2]
[Constitution +0.2]
[Defense +0.2]
With just one jar down, all attributes can increase by 0.2.
He drank three jars like this.
The effect began to weaken.
But it could still increase the four-dimensional attributes by 0.5 with three jars.
Previously, after Ding Ling reached full level in all the Secret Manuals, his four-dimensional attributes increased as follows:
[Strength 71.9, Agility 72.3, Constitution 78.5, Defense 60]
After drinking six jars of medicinal wine.
[Strength 73, Agility 73.4, Constitution 79.6, Defense 61.1]
Drank three more jars.
[Strength 73.5, Agility 73.9, Constitution 80, Defense 61.6]
Constitution reached the limit value.
No longer increased.
Ding Ling could feel his vitality, lifespan, etc., had improved significantly.
Ding Ling didn’t think much of it.
He continued to drink.
With the Six Meridian Divine Sword, the medicinal power he consumed was fully refined, and the wine could flow out through cleared meridians, so he didn’t worry about getting drunk.
He finished all the medicinal wine.
Which amounted to over a hundred jars.
Strength and Agility both reached 80 points.
Defense also rose to 72.
However, by the end, the medicinal effect was diminishing, nearly non-existent. Otherwise, Defense would undoubtedly be higher.
After Ding Ling finished the medicinal wine.
He started taking Great Medicine.
There wasn’t much Great Medicine here.
Probably because most of it was used for soaking in wine.
Ding Ling consumed a hundred-year-old one, but found no effect.
So he stopped.
And switched to a two-hundred-year-old one.
This time after consuming.
[Defense +0.1]
Clearly.
In the lower realm, a 200-year Great Medicine almost had no effect on Ding Ling, but in this world, it was still effective.
It’s naturally because the Spiritual Mechanism and Primordial Qi in this world’s Great Medicine far surpass those of the lower realm.
Ding Ling finished all ten of the two-hundred-year Great Medicine.
[Defense +0.8]
However, as he kept consuming it, drug resistance developed.
He then consumed three of the three-hundred-year-old ones.
[Defense +0.5]
There was only one four-hundred-year-old.
[Defense +0.3]
So thirty of the hundred-year-old Great Medicine were left.
He ate up everything else that could be consumed.
Finally, Defense reached 73.7
At this level, just the skin’s Defense is like wearing seven layers of armor!
Ding Ling was very satisfied.
This trip to Western Xia was indeed a huge gain.
Now he had reached the Grandmaster realm.
The Four-dimensional Attribute Points were also nearing the world’s limit.
Ding Ling estimated that he wouldn’t be able to stay long in this world.
So he prepared for a quick and decisive battle.
To unite Jiuzhou!
Afterward.
Ding Ling put the Great Medicine and some jewelry and such into the Storage Pouch.
Then he carried Li Qiushui and rushed out of the tunnel, heading for the Imperial Study where the Emperor was.
The Emperor was Li Qiushui’s son, an ambitious individual.
Ding Ling couldn’t be bothered to exchange words with him, directly using a One Yang Finger to disable him.
Li Qiushui was terror-stricken, hurriedly kneeling to beg Ding Ling.
Just at that moment, someone walked in from the entrance of the Imperial Study.
This person was as beautiful as a country in distress, like morning dew, and her presence warmed the world like a ray of sunlight, catching Ding Ling’s attention.
"Father..."
She exclaimed in surprise.
Ding Ling used the Dragon Capturing Skill to draw her in, examining her closely, noticing she indeed resembled both Li Qiushui and Wang Yuyan.
He couldn’t help but be moved.
Li Qiushui glanced over and quickly said:
"Qinglu, quickly kneel and pay respects to Hero Ding!"
"Grandmother..."
The woman looked at Li Qiushui in a bit of a daze.
Clearly, the situation before her was beyond her understanding or imagination.
"Kneel for me."
Li Qiushui glared at the woman.
The woman’s legs gave way, and she knelt down to the ground.
Li Qiushui looked at Ding Ling flatteringly, fawningly saying:
"Qinglu is my granddaughter. She is the Princess Yinchuan of Western Xia. Hero Ding, you can see it too. Qinglu completely inherits the beauty, figure, and temperament of our Li family. She is an exceedingly rare beauty in the world.
I now present Qinglu to you, Hero Ding.
I just ask you to spare my son’s life, do not kill him."
Although Li Qiushui was ruthless.
But now it seems.
The fierce tiger does not eat its cubs.
She really valued her son highly.
Beside, the Emperor was made mute by Ding Ling and couldn’t speak, he could only desperately signal to Princess Yinchuan with his eyes.
The Princess was dumbfounded.
She was only here to pay her respects.
