Chapter 27
Three White Dragons! Spirit Eye Technique!
“Pay more attention to that little lamp, brat.”
In the tunnel, Sixth Brother Qin walked for a long time before he slowly spoke, “I didn’t even notice his breathing or movement when he was hiding. He must’ve practiced some breath control technique. This kind of person is the most difficult to deal with in the mine. If there’s a chance, remember his face and observe his style and movement.”
“Yes!” Hong San cupped his fists.
Sixth Brother Qin’s eyes flashed with a cold glint. Those who could be brought into the mine by Fang Han alone must be talents that the Changshan Dojo relied on.
It was another unfamiliar face that he had never seen before. Most likely, he was a new recruit or a hidden genius of the Changshan Dojo.
Anyway, it could be said that he had earned a lot on this trip. If he could figure out his identity, he would definitely find an opportunity to get rid of him!
…
After Qin Huai left the mine, he returned to the courtyard to continue his training.
The first time he entered the mine, he had bumped into a sinister person like Sixth Brother Qin, who dared to bring a few people deep into the Changshan Dojo’s territory to ‘loot.’
Qin Huai became even more cautious. For the past few days, he had only been digging for low-quality iron ores near the Changshan Dojo. Fang Han and the others had not given him any forging tasks.
He had also picked some useful herbs to make a few bags of iron poison powder. This iron poison powder could even corrode iron and stone, and it was the best choice to destroy a corpse.
Qin Huai woke up in the morning as usual and ate his fill of demon meat and Qi and blood soup. After that, he went to collect all the experience balls in the drill ground and then immersed himself in practicing martial arts.
Even though his aptitude was pitifully poor, every bit of experience he gained was still a bit of experience.
Time flew by. Eight or nine days passed by in a flash.
After Fang Han returned that day, he immediately gathered a group of senior and junior brothers and rushed across the ‘middle line’ between the two dojos.
Finally, yesterday, the two sides, which were already filled with the smell of gunpowder, immediately started a great battle.
In the end, both sides suffered casualties.
…
“Ding! You have collected a [Breath Control Essence (Blue) ], [Breath Control] Experience +99!”
“Ding! You have collected a [Breath Control Essence (Blue) ], [Breath Control] Experience +111!”
“Ding! You have collected a [Breath Control Essence (Green) ], [Breath Control] Experience +35!”
…
Qin Huai sat cross-legged in the courtyard and finished the last remaining stock of the first barrel of blood and Qi soup, including the demon meat. It was a total of 20 catties of demon meat and 20 bowls of blood Qi soup.
His vitality increased from 23.425 to 23.533, but of course, this was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that Qin Huai’s breathing technique had finally reached the critical point—he was only two experience points away from level 20.
“I didn’t expect I was only two points away.” Qin Huai shook his head and started cultivating with the breathing technique.
After a full four hours, the last two experience points were added. Qin Huai immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, calming his heart and concentrating his Qi.
In his dantian, countless streams of air gathered and collided with each other crazily, slowly forming the third dragon.
“My breathing technique is finally at level 20.”
Name: Qin Huai
[ Vitality ]: 25.533
[Cultivation Methods]: [Breathing technique (level 20, 1/3000) ], [Qi-nurturing technique (level 50, 7/1000) ], [Breath Control technique (level 10, 501/1000) ],[Thunderflash skill (level 0, 273/1000)]
[Skills]: [Alchemy (advanced, 571/1600) ], [Forging (intermediate, 73/400)]
[Stage: Level 2 Blood Refinement]
“My vitality has increased by two points.” Qin Huai’s eyes lit up. He then picked up a stone that was used for training in the yard.
The several hundred jin rock that was still a little difficult to lift a few days ago was now easily lifted by Qin Huai. And the most important thing was that his Qi and blood had become richer, and his skin had a light red glow. This was a sign of exuberant Qi and blood.
“As expected, compared to eating demon meat with blood and Qi soup, cultivating is much faster!” Qin Huai was excited. The blood and Qi soup and demon meat could only be considered as external forces, and the increase was minimal.
At this moment, Sun Ziyao and the others returned from the school grounds.
“Brother Qin, we’re going to the mine later, do you want to come?” Sun Ziyao’s face was full of smiles. This was a young man who was very familiar with others, and he had only been in the library for a few days.
He became close with everyone. Whether it was Li Zhang and the others who were his apprentices, or Fang Han who always found excuses for them to practice more, they all got along well with Sun Ziyao.
During this period, he had also invited Qin Huai to various gatherings he had organized. However, Qin Huai had rejected all of them with the excuse of cultivating.
“Alright,” he said. Qin Huai agreed this time.
According to past experience, the experience orbs provided by his fellow disciples would decrease even more after level 20, and it would take at least a month for him to advance to the third refinement.
Moreover… In a sense, the conflict between the two dojos had become useful for Qin Huai. This battlefield was practically a ‘training ground’ specially prepared for him to collect the experience balls of the disciples of the Thunderbolt Dojo, so how could he refuse? Moreover, the two dojos were in a dispute, so Fang Han did not come to the drill ground for two days.
He didn’t have the chance to check the progress of his martial arts realm. He had a chance to delay the matter of cultivating his third white dragon, and he still did not plan to announce it immediately. After all, it took him eight or nine days to break through. It was simply too shocking.
That was why Qin Huai would try his best to hide his edge. Even if he hid it for one more day, it would also help to reduce the level of “shock.”
“Oh, that’s great!”
When Sun Ziyao heard Qin Huai agree, the smile on his face became even brighter.
…
Qin Huai followed Sun Ziyao and the others into the White Flow mine area again.
At the entrance, there were more than a dozen small white tents. There were injured disciples and some doctors in the dojo who were bandaging their wounds.
“Why do I feel like there are more people?” Qin Huai’s sharp senses detected the difference. There should only be 150 or 160 martial artists here.
“The two dojos have called their apprentices out these two days to occupy the land and mine,” Sun Ziyao said. He had many friends and was well-informed. “It seems like they’re competing to see who can mine the mine first to gain more.”
These words sounded childish, like a child throwing a tantrum. But in the mine, every word reeked of blood.
“I feel that if this trend continues, the two parties will have to fight to the death to determine who is stronger.”
A few of the cultivators who had just started out as small tryouts were all a little eager to try.
“Forget it. After all, the Thunderbolt Dojo is the number one dojo. I’ll try not to fight if I can,” Qin Huai muttered.
He had seen Fang Han and Sixth Brother Qin fight the other day, so he knew that the fighters from the Changshan Dojo were definitely weaker than those from the Thunderbolt Dojo. Once a large-scale battle broke out, it would probably be a disaster.
“Ziyao, you’re here too. When you enter the mine, try not to make a move first. You have to restrain yourself. It’s not a problem to beat them back or injure them, but try not to kill them. But, of course, if the other party wants to kill, then kill!” Sun Ziyao’s acquaintance ran over and gave everyone a few words of advice.
“Alright, why don’t we part ways first?”
As soon as Qin Huai and the others entered the mine, Yue Shuihan and the others proposed to leave by themselves. These martial artists had all cultivated other cultivation techniques before and were unwilling to reveal their trump card.
“Then I’ll walk around by myself too.” Qin Huai also left the group.
After walking for about a kilometer…
“You guys from the Thunderbolt Dojo are too arrogant! How dare you act so atrociously in our Changshan Dojo’s territory?”
“What do you mean by your territory? Is White Flow Mountain your clan’s property?”
“Then just accept your death!”
Qin Huai then heard the sounds of quarrels and fighting. He extinguished the coal lamp and activated his breath control technique to completely merge with the darkness.
He touched the iron wall as he walked. Soon, he saw the two groups of people fighting. A few of them had rough techniques, weak vitality, and no order in their fights, so they were most probably apprentices.
However, the few people leading the group were all first refinement experts, and their attacks were quite fierce.
Qin Huai waited quietly. After a while, an experience ball that only he could see fell to the ground.
“Ding! You have collected a [Spirit Eye Technique Essence (Green) ], [Spirit Eye Technique] Experience +11!”
“Ding! You have collected a [Spirit Eye Technique Essence (Green) ], [Spirit Eye Technique] Experience +48!”
“Ding! You have collected a [Breath Control Essence (Blue) ], [Breath Control] Experience +65!”
“Ding! You have collected a [Breath Control Essence (Green) ], [Breath Control] Experience +50!”
Seeing all these experience balls, Qin Huai was speechless.
