161 An Assassination?
Elder Erlong hurriedly moved to Qin Huai’s side and looked at the power of longevity in Qin Huai’s palm that was exactly the same as his own.
He frowned slightly. Then, he looked at Qin Huai’s palm and then at his face.
“This is unreasonable. This doesn’t make sense…” Elder Erlong paced back and forth, mumbling to herself. “Could it be that you’re really the person that the crazy girl was talking about, the one who could turn the tide and save the Li family from danger?”
Elder Erlong stood still, carefully sizing up Qin Huai. “Is there really such a thing as destiny? Your master’s eye for choosing disciples is really not bad, to be able to find such a good seedling like you.”
Elder Erlong’s face was full of relief as he added, “To be able to comprehend the power of longevity means that you can already release the forbidden technique.”
Elder Erlong then gave the heart sutra to release the flame of longevity technique to Qin Huai.
The core of it was nothing more than visualization. He imagined his lifespan as a flame and guided it through the changes in his body. The final burning!
“Not bad. When you go back, you should properly comprehend the flame of longevity technique.” Elder Erlong looked at Qin Huai, feeling both gratified and dejected. Why was he so lacking compared with this disciple?
“It’s over?” Qin Huai was stunned.
“What do you mean it’s over?” Elder Erlong immediately stomped his foot. “Brat, researching a powerful forbidden technique is extremely extraordinary. How many people have had luck creating a cultivation method or a forbidden technique in their entire lives?
“And your master… I actually still have many forbidden techniques that I’m still exploring. There were also some that were too powerful. Hmm, but it’s not yet the right time to hand them over to you.
“Now that you’ve already cultivated the concealment of spirit and qi, we can study the forbidden technique together in the future.”
Elder Erlong patted Qin Huai’s shoulder, which could be considered a stiff transition. “By the way, regarding our sect’s combat techniques, I don’t think I need to teach you the basics, right? Although Sun Yuanshan’s cultivation talent is average, he has inherited my skills in actual combat.”
Qin Huai said righteously, “I usually do things openly and honestly. I have some regrets about this, so I hope that Grandmaster can teach me from the beginning and help me correct it.”
“Looks like you’ve learned a lot.” Elder Erlong nodded. “Alright, we’ll start from scratch tomorrow. It can also be considered as checking for any missing parts and filling in any gaps.”
Qin Huai and his grandmaster were both very satisfied with tonight, and they walked back in high spirits.
On the way, Elder Erlong continued to preach to Qin Huai. “This flame of longevity is actually a transformation from the concealment of spirit and qi, so the relationship between the two is particularly close.
“By the way, this concealment of spirit and qi is the most precious treasure of our True Path sect. It’s all-encompassing and can contain all kinds of cultivation techniques in the world.
“They have even cultivated the concealment of spirit and qi, which can make all kinds of martial arts produce compatibility. I guess when the concealment of spirit and qi reaches a high level, there is a chance to turn all the techniques into one.
“However, this path is very difficult, and even the seniors of my sect only know a little about it.”
Elder Erlong shook her head, his face filled with disappointment.
…
Qin Huai had just arrived home.
He sat cross-legged on the bed and tried to comprehend the cultivation technique he had cultivated today, the concealment of spirit and qi.
He emptied his mind and body and sank into his dantian.
Boom…
This time, Qin Huai felt that the entire ‘world’ was different.
His dantian seemed to have expanded. It was no longer a gloomy blood color, and now, it contained the white dragon, golden blood, and the electric ball.
There also seemed to be some fresh ‘air,’ which made Qin Huai feel refreshed. If he had to describe it…
“There should be some life force?” Qin Huai mumbled as he wandered around his dantian. He felt that even the white dragon had become clear.
The seven dragon balls were coiled together, looking very realistic.
The ball of lightning also became more solid and powerful, exuding an aura of destruction.
The golden blood became even more resplendent and dazzling.
The vitality was the strongest, making Qin Huai feel as if it was nurturing some kind of life.
“This is probably what Grandmaster said. The art of concealment of spirit and qi is majestic and all-encompassing, and can accommodate hundreds of rivers and thousands of techniques.
“Maybe when I cultivate the concealment of spirit and qi to a higher level… it will change with the cultivation method I’m cultivating…
“What, that’s not right,” Qin Huai mumbled.
Perhaps, the change had already occurred. This vigorous dantian might be some kind of proof.
Ka.
A soft sound rang out.
Qin Huai suddenly woke up from his immersion in his dantian.
“Hmph, hmph…” He sniffed it lightly. It was the smell of the drowsy powder, and it was a very high-level one.
However, he had already developed a high resistance to his own poison, so he was almost immune to it.
Who was it? Who actually dared to poison him in the Nine Dragons sect?
He quietly got up and walked to the door. After a while, he heard light footsteps. From the sounds of it, Qingshui should have been knocked out.
Stab…
Qin Huai turned around and saw a thin bamboo shoot through the paper window.
Whoosh!
A silver needle flew directly at Qin Huai’s bed.
Bang! Bang!
Qin Huai suddenly rushed out the door. He waved his fists and a white-purple light spot bloomed on them.
“Forbidden technique, earthquake dragon!”
BOOM!
The punch exploded, and a deep sound wave suddenly rolled out.
A pair of iron fists pierced through and exchanged a punch with Qin Huai.
Stab…
The man slid a few meters away on the ground. His fist was covered in blood.
He was a martial artist with great blood refinement. Seeing this, Qin Huai immediately determined the other party’s realm.
“A forbidden technique?”
That person’s voice was unique, so it should have been modified.
Buzzzzzz!
The person charged at Qin Huai again, with sharp killing intent in his eyes.
Qin Huai’s eyes were calm, on the other hand. Since the other party could appear in the Nine Dragons sect to assassinate him, he was definitely not one of Song Ya’s men. Otherwise, the sect’s reputation would be lost.
They were most likely from the Nine Dragons sect. The Zhang family, and even the Li family. Or those small surnames…
But It didn’t matter. He would just test the life-burning forbidden technique he had learned on this guy’s life.
Qin Huai looked at the masked man, who was filled with killing intent. His eyes lit up!
