"Can you teach me martial arts?"

Of course, Helen didn't know about these things. She finally discovered an Inner Sect Expert and naturally wanted to ingratiate herself, so she cautiously asked.

Her pair of sapphire eyes were filled with anticipation, but there was also a hint of worry... as if she was afraid Qin Fang would reject her!

Qin Fang was also taken aback. He subconsciously looked over at Chu Yunxuan and seeing that she didn't have any strange reaction, he gently nodded.

"I'll teach you a few moves when I have time! If you practice well, three or five people won't be able to get close to you..."

Qin Fang wasn't boasting. His National Arts Skill had reached the advanced level, just one step away from the grandmaster level, and his own cultivation was even higher. Teaching Helen some martial arts was not a problem.

"But... but I want to learn Inner Strength..."

However, right after Qin Fang spoke, Helen's eyes flickered, and she quickly added eagerly.

"Uh..."

This left Qin Fang looking surprised. He glanced again at Chu Yunxuan and saw that she too had a strange expression, which left him a bit puzzled.

"I'm afraid that's not possible... Inner Strength is trained from a young age. Your bones have already set, and you've passed the golden age for learning martial arts!"

Qin Fang shook his head in response.

Not to mention whether Helen had the foundation for martial arts, the age issue alone had already blocked her from the doors of Inner Sect martial arts.

It's like how Qin Fang was at first. If Cai Pingyuan hadn't discovered that Qin Fang possessed Inner Breath, he wouldn't have considered taking a disciple... Because Qin Fang was already eighteen or nineteen, past the prime age, his progress was already much slower than others, meaning that even with cultivation, his achievements wouldn't be too high!

In the martial world, thirty is a threshold!

If you can reach the master level before thirty, you have a good chance of reaching higher levels in the future...

But if you haven't broken through to the master level before thirty, then you'll be stuck at that level for life. Although there might occasionally be some extraordinarily lucky anomalies, they are extremely rare.

Because of this limitation, the length of cultivation time is also crucial for martial artists since building a foundation to reach the master level indeed takes a significant amount of time...

Starting from a young age, for example at six or seven years old, means by thirty you would have been practicing martial arts for over twenty years...

But if you start late, like Qin Fang, who only began building a foundation at eighteen or nineteen, by thirty it would only be around ten years...

Not to mention someone like Helen, who's already twenty-five. Without considering anything else, just the foundation alone might mean she's already over thirty... that's simply impossible!

"Is there no other way?"

Helen clearly was not willing to give up, and curiously asked again.

It seemed she knew Chu Yunxuan had some concerns, so she didn't mention the third rate issue, just inquired if there was any other way.

"It's not that there isn't a way... it's just not suitable for you!"

Qin Fang shook his head in response.

There indeed are ways...

In martial arts novels, it's common for protagonists to consume spiritual treasures and instantly gain decades of power. This is not impossible.

These spiritual treasures naturally refer to spiritual medicines filled with Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

In ancient times, spending a huge fortune could possibly buy some spiritual medicine... but for ordinary people, consuming spiritual medicine is akin to courting death.

Gaining decades of power might be an exaggeration, but if a spiritual medicine is fully absorbed, it indeed equates to decades of True Qi cultivation of an Inner Sect Expert.

The problem is, the meridians and internal organs of Inner Sect Experts have been honed by decades of Inner Strength, capable of enduring such level of True Qi.

But ordinary people cannot. With their fragile and narrow meridians, such violent spiritual energy rushing in results in only one outcome... meridians shattering, body exploding!

There is a way to tackle this issue, which requires at least a grandmaster-level expert to use their profound True Qi to first sort out and widen the meridians of the one consuming the medicine, allowing the meridians to hold more True Qi and withstand greater pressure!

But doing this is also extremely risky. First, it would harm the elemental energy of the grandmaster-level expert, potentially taking many years to fully recover, and secondly, it may not meet the desired requirements and could still fail...

So that's why Qin Fang said that although there is a way, it's not suitable for Helen!

Helen is indeed a young lady from a wealthy family with substantial assets, but it's not enough to risk a grandmaster-level expert's essential energy to help her expand her meridians...

Plus, Helen is unlikely to find spiritual medicine!

Spiritual medicines are scarcely seen today, mostly held by ancient sects. If a spiritual medicine is accidentally discovered, it would surely be fought over by many experts and forces, possibly leading to a bloody massacre...

This is not a joke because such things have indeed happened!

Moreover, just a few years ago, it was said that someone discovered a mystical herb in a secluded valley on the African savannah, a gathering place for a primitive tribe, located on their sacred mountain.

Somehow, this information got out, and numerous experts from the underground world flocked to that grassland, all vying for that mystical herb.

The result was predictable...

Countless underground world experts perished there, and even the innocent primitive tribe was completely wiped out, blood truly flowing like rivers, flooding the entire valley and creating a blood pond!

But later, the matter was left unresolved because no one knew who took the mystical herb away, and it never appeared again...

This shows just how incredibly alluring this mystical herb is!

Not to mention whether Helen could obtain it, even if she could, it would definitely not be a good thing for her as an ordinary person...

Even for Qin Fang, who holds such a superb spiritual medicine as Golden Dragon Saliva, he still tries to stay low-key, not daring to easily reveal it...

Currently, only he himself, Song Qingshan, Cai Pingyuan, and Su Xiaoxiao know, almost all considered his close companions who would never betray him.

Moreover, Golden Dragon Saliva is the source of power for the puppet person, making them an almost invincible presence against bullets and blades, and as long as Qin Fang doesn't agree, no one else can seize it!

"Oh..."

Looking at Qin Fang's helpless expression, Helen's mood was a bit downcast as well, seeming a bit disappointed, but she didn't elaborate further.

As she lowered her head in thought, her gaze occasionally drifted towards Qin Fang, revealing a conflicted look as if she was contemplating something.

As a result, everyone remained silent, and the atmosphere turned quiet...

"Huh..."

However, this silent atmosphere soon changed, sparked by a surprised sound from Helen. Her eyes revealed deep astonishment, even freezing in place.

Qin Fang and Chu Yunxuan both paused, curiously turning their heads to follow Helen's gaze, just in time to see a few people being escorted in by a server at the entrance of the restaurant.

Including the server, there were three people in total...

All three were foreign men!

Among them, Qin Fang recognized one, it happened to be Pete, whom he had met briefly yesterday, but the other two men were strangers.

However...

When Qin Fang turned his head back nonchalantly, he discovered that Chu Yunxuan's face had turned deathly pale.

"Yunxuan, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Qin Fang immediately asked with concern, and promptly took Chu Yunxuan's pulse by holding her wrist, but her pulse was normal, showing no signs of illness.

"Ron..."

Chu Yunxuan didn't speak, her face ghastly white, but it was Helen beside her who said through gritted teeth, "That bastard dared to show up... I'm going to teach him a lesson now!"

Almost speaking as such, Helen immediately stood up, intending to rush over and hit him!

"Hmm?"

Qin Fang was taken aback upon hearing this.

Although he knew who Ron was and the harm Ron had done to Chu Yunxuan, he couldn't recognize him when they actually bumped into each other, as Chu Yunxuan always did her best to avoid recalling that man's face, so naturally, Qin Fang didn't recognize him...

But now that Helen said his name and looked so infuriated, how could Qin Fang not realize that Ron was the very person he needed to deal with?

"You sit down..."

Even though the enemy was right in front of him, taking revenge was clearly not something that required others' involvement, especially since Helen didn't have the capability, at most she'd just give a slap for some petty satisfaction.

But such a revenge would be too petty and too simple, not even close to satisfying the anger... So, Qin Fang simply wouldn't bother, saving his energy instead!

Qin Fang flicked his wrist, grasping Helen's departing wrist and easily pulling her back...

Helen, by instinct, tried to break free, but Qin Fang's large hand was as solid as a machine, remaining unmoving no matter how she struggled.

With Qin Fang applying a little more force, she involuntarily stepped back and obediently sat back in her original seat...

"What are you doing?"

Helen was a bit angry, immediately speaking with some fury, clearly dissatisfied with Qin Fang's actions.

"Don't interfere in this matter... What that guy owes Yunxuan, I'll make him pay back tenfold, a hundredfold!"

However, Qin Fang spoke with undeniable dominance.

Glancing slightly towards Ron, though not seeing him, Qin Fang spoke with grim coldness in his voice...(To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for recommendations and monthly tickets at Qidian (qidian.com), your support is my greatest motivation.)
