Chapter 1228 - Super Pills
Chapter 1228 Super Pills
“Kid.”
Looking at Fang Qiu, the Elder, choked by a mixture of feelings, held back words that sprang to his lips and sighed again before he said, “Always remember your master’s words and never let him down!”
“Thank you so much, Senior.”
Fang Qiu gave him a hold fist salute to express his gratitude.
He had asked about his Old Master, but the senior was unwilling to say anything more. So, Fang Qiu knew he couldn’t get an answer no matter how hard he tried to pump him for more information.
Therefore, he could only thank the elder.
“Um.”
The elder responded briefly.
“I’ll take my leave.”
Knowing it was useless to stay any longer, Fang Qiu could only go back after giving a hold fist salute.
He left the pavilion.
As he went down the mountain, Fang Qiu kept the elder’s words firmly in mind.
The third-ranked Heaven Treasure would be helpful to the Old Master!
In the pavilion…
After watching Fang Qiu leave, Qingshan’s expression was bitter and he immediately turned to the old man to complain, “It was him. I lost to him after going down the mountain.”
“Now, you believe that no matter how strong you are, there will always be someone stronger. Right?”
The elder looked at Qingshan with a smile, not blaming him. Instead, he said with a grin, “Speaking of age, he is even younger than you, but he has suffered much more than you.”
In fact…
He let Qingshan go down the mountain to raise his confidence. Once Qingshan learned how powerful he became after 19 years of painstaking cultivation, he would be motivated to continue practicing diligently with a will.
However, less than a month after he left the mountain, he returned, feeling dejected after losing to John Doe!
Just now…
The elder attacked John Doe as soon as he saw him because he wanted to explore his real strength. After all, John Doe had acquired a well-earned reputation in Wulin and even defeated Qingshan.
As a result, after their palms knocked against each other, the elder knew full well that John Doe was a guru who had recultivated.
After the elder realized this…
The doubts in his heart were completely dispelled.
Qingshan was just an ordinary guru, who obviously couldn’t take on a guru of recultivation, so it was natural that he lost.
“He is stronger than me because he endured more hardship. Then I have to suffer more and practice harder!”
Qingshan clenched his fists and said with unswerving determination.
“Double your cultivation intensity!”
The elder encouraged him.
“Alright!”
Qingshan immediately nodded in response.
The old man smiled and nodded with satisfaction when he heard Qingshan’s voice filled with an inflexible will.
He looked out of the pavilion, his eyes following the direction in which John Doe disappeared.
The elder could bet that John Doe must have some great secrets.
For example…
“Why would John Doe start over?”
Even though he was full of doubt, the elder didn’t investigate it further.
After cultivating for so many years, the old man got to know a lot of things. Sometimes, the more you learn, the more unpleasant you might feel.
On the other side…
Fang Qiu walked down the mountain path. Though he didn’t get the answer he wanted, he was delighted with this trip.
He still hadn’t obtained any news about the Old Master or his whereabouts, but at least he got some important clues.
Moreover…
Fang Qiu had come around to the idea now.
Given his current situation, even if he found the Old Master, he might not help him. If he could lend a hand, the Old Master would not have shut him out all the time.
“The third-ranked Heaven Treasure!”
As Fang Qiu walked to the foot of the mountain, he looked at the boundless mountain forest before him and turned back to see the pavilion on the mountain. He kept the pavilion’s location firmly in his mind and murmured, “I will come back with the third-ranked Heaven Treasure!”
Fang Qiu left the mountain.
He came to a small town nearby and changed into a tracksuit. After getting a mask and a hat, he rushed directly to the city’s airport, bought a flight ticket to Longquan, and hurried onto the plane.
On the way to the airport, Fang Qiu had already called He Gaoming, who told him that he and the other brothers had returned to the wine factory to continue with their wine production.
Therefore, Fang Qiu went straight to the wine factory.
From Qinghai to Longquan…
He made a long-distance flight almost across half of Huaxia, a journey that took more than three hours.
Fang Qiu landed at the airport in Longquan.
It was already seven o’clock in the evening.
At this moment…
After getting off the plane, Fang Qiu immediately took a taxi to the wine factory.
When he arrived, all the employees in the winery were already off duty. He Gaoming and the others had just put away the wine they made today and were cultivating in the field outside the wine warehouse.
Fang Qiu got out of the taxi.
But he didn’t enter the factory immediately. Instead, he stood outside to observe the situation inside.
Over there…
He Gaoming and the other eight men held ordinary iron swords and practised the Combined Attack Sword Formation. As for the other brothers, some were sitting cross-legged on the ground to practice, while others were fighting against each other.
It seemed that everyone was cultivating assiduously.
“Whoosh!”
After watching for a while, Fang Qiu got ready and directly vaulted over the gate.
He Gaoming and the others heard the abnormal noise.
All of them swiftly turned around.
When they saw John Doe, everyone’s faces instantly lit up with surprise.
“Master.”
He Gaoming called out in great excitement.
“The oldest.”
“The oldest is back.”
“It’s the oldest.”
One after another, the other brothers spoke up and gathered around him.
They stared fixedly at John Doe.
Their eyes were full of admiration!
They still found it hard to believe the oldest had defeated a guru!
That was to say…
John Doe, the oldest, was more formidable than a guru.
Especially at noon today, led by He Gaoming, they logged onto the Wulin online forum and witnessed various compliments addressed to John Doe given by masters in Wulin. Also, they felt enormous pride when they saw warnings and orders published by large and small Wulin forces that no one was allowed to get into any conflict with John Doe.
They thought back on what had happened.
Before the fierce battle between John Doe and Qingshan, these brothers had seen numerous cutting remarks targeted at John Doe on the forum. At that time, when they sprang to John Doe’s defence, they were despised and ridiculed by a great many netizens and seethed with rage.
Everything was now over.
When John Doe defeated Qingshan, the whole Wulin applauded him to the skies.
In their eyes…
John Doe deserved their utmost respect, which manifested his legendary status in Wulin!
“Master, don’t you think it’s time to give us some tips?”
He Gaoming chuckled and said, “Look how quickly you have improved your strength. We’re also eager to upgrade our strength so we will no longer be a burden to you.”
“You are anxious to progress, aren’t you?”
Fang Qiu rolled his eyes at He Gaoming and advised him earnestly and with good intentions. “You cannot rush to enhance your strength. You should proceed in an orderly way and do it step by step.”
He Gaoming heard that.
He couldn’t help smiling wryly.
“Look at the others. They’ve spent several years or even decades reaching your current cultivation level. Why are you so worried if these people are not in a hurry?”
Fang Qiu shook his head and emphasized, “Build a solid foundation, then it’ll be easy for you to promote your strength.”
“But…”
He Gaoming grumbled as his mouth twitched, “We’ve steadied ourselves. However, we can’t significantly progress even if we continue practicing.”
“As martial arts practitioners, you shouldn’t merely focus on your strength and realm.”
Fang Qiu shook his head and added patiently, “If you’re only equipped with strength but lack counterattack methods, you’ll suffer losses when you confront rivals who are on the same level as you.
Everyone heard that.
They all nodded.
Each of them had learned some fighting techniques.
However, those were just commonly seen techniques. Thus, they felt frustrated when their enemies who had the same strength delivered various skills but they could only use some clumsy moves.
“Today, I’ll teach you some techniques to fight against enemies.”
Seeing everyone nod affirmatively, Fang Qiu revealed his plan.
He stopped there.
The eyes of his brothers immediately lit up.
No one had expected that.
This time, John Doe came here to pass on his cultivation techniques.
That was fantastic.
He Gaoming, who was initially a little upset, was immensely excited and spoke up, “You finally decided to teach us your awesome techniques that could crush opponents at a higher level?”
He spoke without reservation.
Hearing that, Fang Qiu was stunned and immediately smiled wryly.
Then Fang Qiu glanced around.
Almost all the brothers were staring at him with the same expectant look. Obviously, they felt the same way as He Gaoming.
Fang Qiu laughed helplessly in his heart.
He didn’t have the heart to disappoint them. After pondering for a while, he said, “Something like that.”
With this…
Everyone cheered at once.
“I have four techniques here.”
Fang Qiu looked at them and said, “These are Swordsmanship, Fist Technique, Palm Technique, and Saber Technique. Learning too much is useless as it might hinder your cultivation and distract your attention. So, you should choose one that suits you best. I’ll teach you respectively.”
He finished his speech.
More than 30 people were immediately divided into four groups.
The first team, led by He Gaoming and the other eight brothers, would cultivate Swordsmanship. This team was the largest, with as many as 15 people.
The second largest team, including about ten members, would learn Saber Technique.
The number of people who would study Fist Technique and Palm Technique wasn’t small.
Since fists and palms were closely associated, Fang Qiu taught them both the Fist Technique and Palm Technique.
All the four ancient cultivation techniques Fang Qiu had gained from the little puppet were passed down.
After learning these techniques…
The more than 30 brothers were thrilled as if a precious jewel had fallen into their hands.
The 15 brothers in the Swordsmanship team were excessively exalted when John Doe showed them ancient Swordsmanship because they had seen John Doe use it in the battle against Qingshan.
With these brand-new techniques…
Everyone felt much more energetic when they were cultivating.
Fang Qiu finished his mentoring.
He looked at his brothers, who were practicing attentively. After thinking for a while, he said, “Come on, everyone. If nothing unexpected comes up, I will give you some medicinal pills to help you practice Kung Fu.”
All the brothers heard that.
They became even more exhilarated.
“As expected, the oldest indeed has some necessary pills to help defeat higher-grade rivals.”
“The oldest is so awesome.”
“No wonder the oldest is invincible. With such powerful cultivation techniques and pills for defeating greater opponents, how could he not be ever-victorious?”
Everyone was so excited that they couldn’t help discussing animatedly.
Hearing their words, Fang Qiu was speechless to find that these guys had imagined so many things since he defeated a guru, but he couldn’t come up with a reasonable explanation.
Helplessly, he could only watch them cheer on with their fantasies and kept telling himself not to deny them this harmless pleasure.
Frankly…
With the jade stones, he would grow three kinds of magic herbs in a small area and develop super pills suitable for martial arts practitioners. That was all.
He did not expect these guys to interpret it in such a fantastic way.
Since they liked it and Fang Qiu couldn’t clarify everything, he could only let them think in whatever way they liked.
