Chapter 62 - 62 Reaping 10,000 Points and Offsetting Lifespans?
62 Reaping 10,000 Points and Offsetting Lifespans?
Buzzzzzz!
The clanging of armor and the waving of spears sounded in unison.
The sharp rustling sound made Qin Huai realize once again that this army had strict discipline. His heart, which had just been immersed in the joy of the ‘harvest,’ was pulled out of the quagmire.
At the same time, the heart-softening powder and hell dance poison had already slipped into his hands. In his heart, he began to frantically plan his escape route and how to distribute the ten pounds of poison in order to kill more people.
“What are you guys doing?! Take them back! Shut up!” Hao Chuanren shouted. His voice was like a tiger’s roar that reverberated into the distance.
An expert! He was at least at the fifth refinement.
Buzzzzzz!
Only then did the surrounding soldiers stand still.
“Come, you two, please come in!”
Qin Huai followed Qi Yangbing into the tent and examined its layout.
It was rather plain inside. There was a wooden table and a few long benches. The tent was wrapped in wolf skin, and a map of the area around Pingnan City was hung on the wall.
Qin Huai focused slightly. On the map, the eight major martial arts centers were marked in striking red, and there were a few thin arrows around the mark.
Qin Huai couldn’t tell, but he could clearly see the few lines at the Changshan Dojo. It was the only path for the disciples of the dojo to enter and exit the mountain forest, and it was also the only path for the daily transportation of rations.
Once this place was blocked, it would be enough to trap the dojo to death. Moreover, the terrain of these main roads was flat, which was quite advantageous for the army to spread out their formation.
It was a blatant beating.
Following Qin Huai’s gaze, Hao Chuanren pointed at the map and laughed. “Hahaha! Look at the eight martial arts centers surrounding Pingnan. With our two thousand armored soldiers in the mountains supporting us, as long as we work together, the entire city can be said to be impregnable.
“Now that the world is turbulent and demons are running amuck to threaten the safety of the people, we still need the cooperation of your eight major martial arts centers to unite with us to face the outside world.”
“General Ying is right.” Qi Yangbing was also smiling.
“I’ve heard that the Sacred Heart sect has emerged in the west of Great You. Do you have any understanding of this?” Qin Huai asked. He could not forget the production method of the Sacred Heart sect’s strange secret manual.
“I don’t know. I only know that this sect is evil, has many disciples, and their cultivation methods are extremely cruel.” Hao Chuanren was a little confused.
Obviously, he didn’t know as much as his master, Sun Yuanshan, so Qin Huai instantly lost interest.
On the other hand, Qi Yangbing and Hao Chuanren were talking about the situation in the county city, the power of Great You, and the demons. It was as if they were discussing heroes over wine.
However, the ‘hero’ was only limited to Ppingnan City, but it did not prevent the two from being like old friends.
Qin Huai silently listened for a while and knew that General Ying had invited them in to let them take a look at the map. Using this map, they could use their mouths to have a good talk with Master.
Hao Chuanren also ‘unintentionally’ talked about the rich mineral deposits in several mines a little further from Ppingnan City, and the Feng Shui was very suitable for Sun Yuanshan…
The long conversation, combined with the actions of the past few days, could only be summed up in four words: paying equal attention to him.
After Qin Huai heard some superficial pleasantries at the end, he found an excuse to leave the tent and strolled around the drill ground to gain experience.
“Ding! You have collected a [Four-directional Tiger-wolf Technique Essence (White)], [Four-directional Tiger-Wolf Technique] Experience +9!”
“Ding! You have collected a [Four-directional Tiger-wolf Technique Essence (White)], [Four-directional Tiger-Wolf Technique] Experience +8!”
“Ding! You have collected a [Four-directional Tiger-wolf Technique Essence (White)], [Four-directional Tiger-Wolf Technique] Experience +11!”
“Ding! You have collected a [Cooking Essence (White) ], [Cooking Skill] Experience +2!”
“Ding! You have collected a [Cooking Essence (White) ], [Cooking Skill] Experience +3!”
“Ding! You have collected a [Cooking Essence (White) ], [Cooking Skill] Experience +3!”
Qin Huai walked one round around the entire camp. He would stop for a moment at every spot and wait for his experience to drop.
There were also quite a few captains in the camp whose qi and blood were surging, and they were not weaker than him and his senior brother Qi Yangbing.
The power of the city lord’s mansion was not only strong and powerful, but also had many experts. Any dojo, or even three or four dojos combined, might not be its match. It was simply terrifying.
After about an hour, Qin Huai stood still. The vast amount of experience gathered into ‘his’ long cultivation experience of the four-directional tiger-wolf technique and poured into his mind.
In his memory, he had repeatedly cultivated for a year and finally succeeded at a certain moment.
‘The four-directional tiger-wolf technique is a technique of explosive force,’ Qin Huai thought to himself.
At the last moment of the ‘past,’ he activated the four-directional tiger-wolf technique. The qi and blood in his body were boiling, and his muscles were instantly filled with blood to increase his strength. In a short time, his strength would double.
In addition to the explosive power, the four-directional tiger-wolf technique would absorb the blood aura around the body as the ‘fuel’ of the cultivation technique. The more blood one had, the stronger one’s strength would be.
This was also why Qin Huai had seen the strangeness of the army when they faced the Nantong Dojo master. Once this bloody time was over, the cultivator would be weak for half a day.
“It’s because the way to cultivate the four-directional tiger-wolf technique is too extreme. You have to use all your strength every time, and after you’ve exhausted your strength, you have to consume your life force again to achieve the effect of cultivation. It’s completely self-harming,” Qin Huai sighed in his heart.
He looked at his personal panel.
Name: Qin Huai
[Life Span: 122]
[Vitality]: 39.691
[Cultivation Methods]: [Long Breath technique (level 31, 1840/4000) ], [Rumbling Thunder skill (level 20, 0/3000)], [Four-directional Tiger-wolf technique (level 10, 5/2000)], [Breath Control technique (level 13, 875/1000) ], [Spirit Eye technique (level 10, 633/1000) ],
[Skills]: [Alchemy (advanced, 603/1600)], [Forging (advanced, 79/1600)], [Cooking (Beginner, 4/200)]
[Forbidden Skill ]:[Rising Dragon, 4/4]
[Stage: Level 3 Blood Refinement]
10,000 experience points a day allowed him to reach Level 10 four-directional tiger-wolf technique!
And…
There was an additional lifespan pane.
Qin Huai criticized in his heart, feeling a little confused. He didn’t use qi-nourishing and longevity-enhancing techniques, but he did use them to shorten his lifespan.
“The average lifespan of an ordinary person in this world is only 70 to 80 years old. A white dragon’s lifespan was twelve to thirteen years? If 80 years were to be counted, it would be 130 years. To be able to live to a hundred and twenty years old, it should be the level 10 four-directional tiger-wolf technique that reduced one’s lifespan by ten years…”
Qin Huai made a rough estimate and didn’t feel anything. However, the loss of lifespan shouldn’t be that serious. After all, if that was the case, General Ying, who had been refined five times, should have come out of the netherworld to serve the city lord.
However, he was probably the only one who had no fear of cultivating a cultivation technique that would shorten his lifespan.
He didn’t need to worry about his foundation and talent, he could cultivate 10,000 techniques to complement each other.
Just like how the long breath technique and the four-directional tiger-wolf technique offset each other, it could be said to be perfect.
“My qi and blood are no different from that of a fourth refinement martial artist, so this is a great improvement. With the help of the four-directional tiger-wolf technique, even Reihom might not be a match for me in terms of pure physical strength,” Qin Huai pondered in his heart.
He also wouldn’t forget his opponent, Reihom, who wanted to get a recommendation letter from the county dojo. He definitely had to overcome him, the number one genius of Pingnan City.
Other than the four-directional tiger-wolf technique, Qin Huai also collected the experience he had gained from the kitchen staff who had stewed meat and prepared vegetables in the open air.
It was also a coincidence that in the past, whether it was in the Liu family’s apothecary or the Changshan Dojo, he would always get food and had never seen the chef cook.
However, this skill didn’t seem to be very useful, at least for now. Nowadays, it was already good enough to be able to eat until they were full, so what was the point of asking for color, fragrance, and taste?
Compared to the ancient times in the books of his previous life, the common people of this world had a few advantages, and that was the rich seasoning. Whether it was making fine salt or vinegar, the technology in this world was pretty good.
Therefore, Qin Huai wasn’t very interested in cooking. He preferred to concoct poisons—medicinal skills were very important to him.
“Junior Brother, it’s time to go back.” Qi Yangbing walked out of the tent and called out to Qin Huai from afar.
Qin Huai came back to his senses and pulled the empty carriage with his junior brothers, returning to the manor with Qi Yangbing.
“How is it?”
“As you can see, it’s nothing more than a test and a beating. There’s no danger.”
When the group walked out of the military camp, they all heaved a sigh of relief.
“Will you still come after this?”
“Naturally. After all, someone has to come.” Qin Huai didn’t hesitate. He definitely wouldn’t let go of the four directional tiger-wolf technique.
Under the current circumstances, if the city lord’s mansion wanted to kill him, the outcome would be the same whether he was in the camp or the Changshan Dojo. Why not take the opportunity to gain experience?
As for escaping alone… What about Luo Ya’s parents and Master? Fang Han and Senior Brother Qi were also very good to him…
Unknowingly, Qin Huai already had many concerns in Pingnan City.
