170 An Unexpected Joy
Elder Erlong had obviously told Qin Huai this. “Moreover, we have to gather a group of people to enter together.”
“If I register now, when can I enter?” Qin Huai hurriedly asked.
“It’s basically the first day of every month.”
Qin Huai felt a sense of pity. That was a few days ago. At that time, he seemed to have been unconscious.
But he could do it next month, after breaking through to the eighth refinement.
“Alright, you can all disperse~” Elder Erlong waved his hand and dispersed the crowd.
“Brother-in-law, you’re amazing.” Li Buhu followed behind Qin Huai. “Brother-in-law, can you teach me how to cultivate? I want to be like you and have such a high burst of strength! Don’t worry, I have talent.”
Qin Huai glanced at the big guy. This kid was indeed a good seedling born to train his strength. Even if he did not have much strength, it would be a waste of his physique.
However, Qin Huai didn’t say anything and just walked toward the Hundred Treasures Pavilion.
“You silly man, you were barking at the son-in-law just now, and now you’re turning around to fawn over him? Do you think my son-in-law has no temper?” Qingshui understood and began to mock him. “Or do you think that your childish excuse can fool people?”
Li Buhu was not angry at Qingshui’s words. Instead, his face turned red. “I apologize to Brother-in-law. I was rash just now.”
Qin Huai was still unmoved.
Li Buhu gritted his teeth. “Brother-in-law, I know that one person can’t help a building collapse. Also, Brother-in-law, you’re not very popular in our Li family now. I can go back and persuade my old man for you. How about I promise to rope Old Master to your side?”
He looked at Qin Huai with anticipation. When the latter was moving the stones earlier, his body had undergone at least two transformations, and his strength instantly soared. This was the method he had been searching for a long time.
“Come and find me after you’ve done it,” Qin Huai replied.
“Alright! Brother-in-law, don’t worry!” Li Buhu immediately agreed and rushed into the distance.
“Son-in-law, is this also your scheme?” Qingshui looked at Qin Huai. “If Fourth Master speaks up for you, then Master will definitely slowly change his opinion of you. At that time, at least the neutral faction will definitely stand on your side, and your status in the Li family will be different.”
Qin Huai’s expression was still calm, though. “There’s no such thing as scheming. When you’re strong enough, these things will naturally come to you. If I have to talk about scheming, then my plan is to use half of my effort to cultivate and study how to improve my strength.”
“Oh~” Qingshui was deep in thought, but she didn’t understand.
…
“Ding! You have collected a [Long Breath Technique Essence (White)], [Long Breath Technique] Experience +1!”
“Ding! You have collected a [Long Breath Technique Essence (Green)], [Long Breath Technique] Experience +111!”
“Ding! You have collected a [Long Breath Technique Essence (Blue)], [Long Breath Technique] Experience +243!”
“Ding! You have collected a [Long Breath Technique Essence (White)], [Long Breath Technique] Experience +1!”
Qin Huai first collected a wave of experience points on the training grounds, earning nearly 4,000 points.
Then, he walked to the Hundred Treasures Pavilion with Qingshui. This place was very big, even more majestic than the city lord’s in Pingnan City.
The Hundred Treasures Pavilion had a total of three floors. The first level was filled with some basic things, such as the qi nurturing pills, dragon nurturing pills, vitality pills, and so on. The second level was extremely luxurious.
Qin Huai walked to the second floor and looked at the dazzling array of samples. His brain was calculating rapidly, deducing the poison that could work on great blood refinement martial artists.
These prescriptions weren’t difficult for Qin Huai. He and his master, Sun Yuanshan, had been able to figure it out when they were in Pingnan City. It was just that Pingnan City was poor and remote, and did not have that many medicinal herbs for both of them. It could be said that a clever housewife could not cook without rice.
However, it was different in the Nine Dragons sect. The county city was vast, and the variety of medicinal herbs was not only good, but also relatively cheap.
Qin Huai looked at the many precious medicinal herbs that were sold at the price of nine dragons and half a catty. He was extremely tempted.
“Earth cage flower, drunken immortal root, hundred withered bathing, and these flame flower fragments… Give me a catty each!”
Under the shocked gaze of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion attendant, Qin Huai packed up bags of poison.
At the banquet, there must be a lot of people who were dissatisfied with him, so there were definitely many who wanted to make a move in secret and sow discord.
When the time came, Qin Huai would use these poisons to make the scene as peaceful and quiet as possible. He would try not to use force if he could.
And so, Qin Huai’s afternoon was very fulfilling. He mixed the dozens of kilograms of medicinal herbs he had bought and then wrapped them in parchment paper that would tear with a poke.
They were then placed in various positions on his body. Qin Huai even jumped back and forth, feeling the heavy weight on his body. He was instantly filled with confidence.
Late at night, Qin Huai arrived as scheduled.
“Ding! You have collected a [Nine Dragons True Qi Comprehension], [White Dragon Force] +1%.”
“Ding! You have collected a [Nine Dragons True Qi Comprehension], [White Dragon Force] +1%.”
He still followed Elder Erlong to cultivate the concealment of spirit and qi, and comprehend the white dragon force. The concealment of spirit and qi had advanced at an incredible speed, from level 32 to level 34, 556/4000.
Then, Elder Erlong spoke, “Can you show me the method you used to increase your strength today?”
“Of course.” Qin Huai did not decline. He directly used his blood dragon form.
After cultivating the concealment of spirit and qi, the state of his four-directional tiger-wolf technique had already been restrained. Only the blood dragon form would show characteristics and phenomena.
“You injected qi into your blood and muscles? Tsk tsk, you’re really bold!” Elder Erlong clicked his tongue in wonder, his eyes filled with praise.
“If you’re not careful, you might lose control of your aura. If it’s light, your muscles will be damaged and your blood will decline. If it’s serious, your body will explode!
“This should also be a forbidden technique… Did Sun Yuanshan teach you that?”
Qin Huai shook his head. “I created this myself. I can still stuff the entire white dragon into my body.” As he spoke, he once again revealed his blood dragon form.
“Good boy! Your body can really do it.” This time, Elder Erlong was completely amazed.
It was already risky enough to just stuff in the aura, but this kid actually stuffed the entire dragon in.
“Your body has the talent to develop. It’s very strange.” Elder Erlong observed the veins on Qin Huai’s body for a while and suddenly burst into laughter. “Brat, you’ve given me inspiration! Master already has a new forbidden technique development direction!”
The more he looked at Qin Huai’s body, the more he liked it. “Yes! You’re too similar to me! You have the same talent as me in developing forbidden techniques!”
