171 The Li Family Fourth Branch
Meanwhile, in the fourth branch of the Li family, there was a heated argument.
“Who is this Qin Huai? He’s just a hooligan from Pingnan City and the live-in son-in-law of the Li family!”
“His surname isn’t even Li. Why should he bring the Li family back to prosperity?”
“Are we relying now on an outsider? Ridiculous!”
Whoosh!
Li Zeshi, the fourth master, waved his sleeves angrily. In front of him, Li Buhu was kneeling on the ground with a bruised face.
“Father, don’t say that about Brother-in-law!” Li Buhu’s aura weakened by more than half, and his body was in pain.
Li Zeshi looked at his simple-minded son and was furious. Another kick landed on Li Buhu’s body, causing the latter to smash the door like a ball and roll on the fake mountain of the courtyard house in a sorry state.
The surrounding servants and people from the sixth household came and went freely, their expressions calm. They didn’t even look at his miserable young master.
Over the years, they were already used to this scene. Old Master would not hold back, and Young Master would not give in either.
Old Master’s contribution to Young Master’s current physique was indispensable. But the most difficult thing was, the two of them were constantly trying to convince each other.
Li Zeshi narrowed his eyes and said, “Besides, the Li and Zhang families have a bet. To enter the core disciple level from the seventh refinement within two years… Don’t you know how difficult it is to do that? You grew up in the Nine Dragons sect, right?
“Do you think the Li family will still protect him? Do you think that General Song Ya will let him go?”
Li Zeshi lowered his voice. He still wanted to convince his son. “Even if he becomes a core disciple, so what? Is he stronger than Zhang Haoyue? Can his popularity surpass him?”
Li Buhu blurted out, “Didn’t no one in the sect beat me in terms of strength in the same realm? Not even Zhang Haoyue! But brother-in-law did it!”
He was completely shocked by Qin Huai’s strength. In his world, having a big fist was everything. And his fist was absolute strength.
“What!” Li Zeshi’s eyes widened in anger.
“Old man, if Sister Shaoxiang didn’t really confirm it, why would she protect Brother-in-law so strongly? She doesn’t even like Zhang Haoyue!”
Li Zeshi rolled his eyes. “Come on, that crazy girl believes in fate too much. She believes in so-called feelings too much… I still remember when I took you guys hiking when we were young. When that girl was six years old, she stood on the top of the mountain and muttered, ‘I don’t think I’ll die from jumping down here.’ The next second, she really jumped down!”
“Yeah, Sister Shaoxiang didn’t really die! She was caught by a big tree and found a cave,” Li Buhu retorted. “Old man, trust me this once. There’s nothing wrong with supporting Brother-in-law!”
“What did that kid promise you to make you speak up for him like this?” Li Zeshi gasped and was a little exasperated.
“Brother-in-law said that if I can get you and our fourth branch to support him, he will give me his strength technique,” Li Buhu explained.
Li Zeshi hesitated when he heard that. “How much stronger is his energy technique than yours?”
“Ninth Refinement! Far better than me…”
Li Zeshi was silent. He knew very well that his son had a great future on the path of strength. If he could obtain Qin Huai’s energy technique, his future achievements would not surpass Zhang Haoyue’s, but he would definitely become a pillar of the sect.
After he died, his son would rely on this technique and his cultivation…
Even if the Li family was gone one day, this kid could still live a good life with his good-for-nothing big brother.
“Alright then.” Li Zeshi finally relented.
“Old man! Trust me this time. You won’t regret it in the future!” Li Buhu jumped up happily.
Li Zeshi looked at his excited son helplessly. “If Qin Huai has any problems in the future, just come to me and ask for my instructions.”
He then waved his hand and said, “Now get lost!”
…
“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!”
“Ding! You have collected a [Nine Dragons True Qi Comprehension], [White Dragon Force] +1%.”
The next day, Qin Huai’s life remained unchanged.
As usual, after collecting experience points, he followed his master to cultivate the concealment of spirit and qi technique, all the way until late at night.
After some time, Qin Huai received a letter from his cheap wife, Li Shaoxiang. The content was very straightforward.
“As expected of husband! In just a few days, he has already reached the 43rd level on the Blood Dragon Platform! I’ve been outside for the past two days, and I’ve collected quite a few medicinal herbs for you. You should be able to use them.”
Qin Huai looked at the large box that Qing ‘er carried in.
The medicinal herbs inside were all herbs that Qin Huai had exchanged for at the Hundred Treasures Pavilion. They were used to cultivate the blood heart technique and repair the golden blood.
Qin Huai did the same thing and turned all these things into tonics for the blood heart technique, then he swallowed them all.
