124 The Frenzied Master and Disciple!
“Understood! Your subordinate obeys!” Sun Tong cupped his fists and led the three hundred wolf battalion soldiers to Yazi mountain without stopping.
After they parted ways, Qin Huai returned to the dojo.
After receiving a burst of cheers and adoration from his senior and junior brothers, he returned to his own small courtyard without stopping.
“Clear sky pill…” Qin Huai looked at the elixir in his hand, which had the color of a tender shoot. It could offset half a qi and blood transformation, and it could also cleanse one’s essence and improve one’s cultivation aptitude.
Qin Huai was filled with anticipation and impatiently popped the clear sky pill into his mouth.
The moment it entered his mouth, Qin Huai’s body felt like it was on fire. However, compared to the true blood qi transformation, the burning sensation was clearly gentler.
The boiling of his qi and blood was not a distance away. However, Qin Huai’s clothes were instantly drenched in sweat.
But in contrast, Qin Huai’s qi and blood were also rising rapidly at a visible rate. From the original 68.327, it soared to 73.327.
Just as Hu Guanpan had said, his vitality instantly rose by five points. It could be called divine speed.
Just as Qin Huai was about to get up, his legs suddenly gave way, and he fell back onto the bed. His whole body was in pain, and the pain in his bones made his scalp numb.
His facial features twisted together. Cold sweat poured down like a waterfall, and in the blink of an eye, Qin Huai became a drenched chicken.
“Ah…”
He clutched at the mattress and suppressed his urge to scream.
Qin Huai only recovered after an hour.
“The so-called cleansing of the tendons and marrow is really not something that ordinary people can bear.” Qin Huai heaved a sigh of relief.
He suddenly felt that the air he breathed in seemed to be much sweeter.
“Is this the world of geniuses? It’s different from the feeling when ordinary people breathe?” Qin Huai hurriedly executed the long breath technique and completed a small circulation.
His experience points had increased by one point.
One had to know that during his second and third refinement, a small cycle would not even add a single point of experience. But now, he was at the fifth refinement, and the difficulty of entering this realm was tens of times harder than the second and third refinement.
“This clear sky pill is really a good thing.” Qin Huai sighed.
It was a pity that he didn’t feel any Dao luck. However, it was enough to improve his cultivation aptitude, not to mention that the five points of vitality increase were real.
Qin Huai then took out the white jade pill bottle that Miss Shaoxiang had given him.
As soon as he opened it, a strong pill fragrance came out. The pure white pills were the size of a thumb, and there were five of them in the bottle.
Qin Huai took one and threw it into his mouth. He slowly closed his eyes and focused his mind on his dantian.
After the pill entered his mouth, it seemed to have turned into qi and enveloped the six white dragons in his body.
The white dragon, which had almost turned into a purple dragon, became more and more solid.
Every time the white dragon became more solid, it meant that Qin Huai’s long breath technique would become stronger, and the power of the forbidden technique would also increase.
Seeing the effect, Qin Huai did not hesitate to eat the remaining five pills.
A huge wave was set off in Qin Huai’s dantian. The six white dragons were suddenly excited, and they danced wildly in the world in his dantian. As they danced, their bodies became more and more solid.
“Do the people from the Nine Dragons sect eat these every day?” Qin Huai sighed.
With this dragon raising pill, the weakness of the early stage of the long breath technique could be easily compensated, and the later stages would be even more powerful.
It was indeed worthy of being a sub-sect of the True Path sect…
Qin Huai couldn’t help but sigh. The grand martial competition had ended, and it seemed as if everything had quieted down. Everything had returned to silence, just like this harsh winter.
Every day, Qin Huai began to collect experience from the drill ground and the mine for the long breath technique and the rumbling thunder skill.
Going to the Changshan ancestral house to cultivate with his master, tinkering with the medicinal field was more effective in dealing with the demons, and the cost was lower to deal with the tide of demons that might come at any time.
Other than that, he also gained the nurturing of the wolf battalion.
Every day, Qin Huai would take two hours to teach the soldiers of the wolf battalion how to grind and formulate medicine. More importantly, he would teach them how to use the medicines in a big battle without accidentally injuring themselves and their comrades.
The armored soldiers, coupled with poison, would definitely be able to maximize their combat power.
Qin Huai’s life seemed to have returned to normal.
But the good times did not last long. It had only been a month since the end of the grand martial competition, and the urgent report from the scout had completely blown the peaceful Pingnan into pieces.
“There are about fifteen thousand demons coming straight for Pingnan.”
When Hu Guanpan announced this news at the city lord’s mansion, the eight dojo masters couldn’t stay calm.
“What?”
“What’s the point of forging a hammer? I’ll take my disciple and run away first!” Bao Ziyan stood up and was about to leave.
“The previous intelligence said there were seven or eight thousand demons, so there was still a chance to fight. Now that the number of demons has doubled, wouldn’t we be courting death if we continue to defend Pingnan?” the master of the Mang Mountain Saber Dojo, Liu Zhong, said coldly.
“Although Pingnan is the foundation of our ancestral land, with the current situation… I’m afraid the only option is to flee.” Qing Yunhe wavered.
The others looked at Hu Guanpan.
“Wait a moment!” Hu Guanpan called out, stopping Bao Ziyan. “There’s still a chance. I’ve already reported this to the Lingjiang county governor and Lord Zhang. The county is already gathering troops, and they will arrive in Pingnan in twenty days!”
Hu Guanpan looked at the crowd and slowly sat down. He let out a long sigh of relief.
“When will the fifteen thousand demons arrive?” Bai Bashan said slowly.
Hu Guanpan said in a deep voice, “The troops of the monster race and demon race are at Gukou town. They will only reach Pingnan in seventeen days. In other words, we can wait for reinforcements in three days!”
The dojo masters were all silent, weighing the gains and losses in their hearts.
“Everyone, if we escape to Lingjiang, we can live. However, Lingjiang is like a dragon or a snake occupying a tiger’s territory. If outsiders like us enter, we will definitely be devoured and have no chance of turning things around.”
