My Two-sided Cultivation: Starting From Collecting Experiences

Chapter 273 - 273 Upgraded Poisons

273 Upgraded Poisons

Thank you readers!

Two more days had passed.

A young man in a green and white robe was seen sitting on the peak of a mountain, meditating amidst the snow with a flushed red face and a buzzing airwave. The snowflakes that landed on his shoulder would instantly dissipate into the air.

Pa, pa, pa…

Strange sounds emitted from Qin Huai’s bones.

“The concealment of spirit and qi technique has developed the true potential of my body,” Qin Huai muttered.

He had gone from having no foundation to cultivating the nine dragons true qi technique at the same speed as Li Zeren. With nearly seven hundred years of lifespan, he experienced the so-called illusory transformation of the level of life.

At the very least, his cultivation speed was visible to the naked eye. Of course, compared to the speed of improvement brought about by the experience points, the improvement was much faster.

However, Qin Huai’s current cultivation speed was still not worth mentioning. The lifespan of an ordinary bone pattern realm expert was between 150 to 200 years, far from his own. The current Qin Huai could be called a long-lived species.

As he stood up and looked down the mountain, a woman dressed in a red cotton robe quickly approached him.

“Husband, Huai Dan City has sent a letter,” Li Shaoxiang said as she climbed the mountain to join Qin Huai.

Handing the letter to Qin Huai, Li Shaoxiang continued to explain, “The cultivation techniques of those experts in the Balance Army are very strange. They rely heavily on armor and are practically inseparable. It doesn’t seem to be around Lingjiang, and there isn’t even a sect like this in Qingzhou.

“There’s a Hundred Weapons Mountain outside of Qingzhou where the disciples of the sect make a living by forging and also cultivate the art of forging. The disciples in the mountain often wear armor and weapons, which is somewhat similar.”

Qin Huai read the letter effortlessly, then asked, “But isn’t Hundred Weapons Mountain a righteous sect? I remember that there are many people in the Balance Army who can change their appearance in battle. They can even look like demons.”

Although he had not witnessed it with his own eyes and had only heard about it from various sources, in his mind, he could roughly construct a scene of ‘transformation.’ However, most of the details were taken from narrations in some movies in his previous life.

“Their lifeblood is strong, and their strength and physique far surpass those of the same realm by several levels. They often encounter situations where they kill those of a lower cultivation level, similar to Reihom of the Twin Extreme Sect. Moreover, after they wear the strange armor, even the force of the bone pattern realm will weaken their influence,” Li Shaoxiang continued.

She still had quite a bit of information regarding the battle from outside Huai Dan City, adding that dealing with these mysterious experts was a headache for Song Ya’s army.

However, none of the information gathered by others was as accurate as the intel from Huai Dan City. After all, it was obtained from a dignified expert at the third-level bone pattern realm, and Elder Erlong had personally inquired about it.

“It can increase one’s strength and physique. It can even weaken the power of force A different kind of treasure. I just don’t know which of the raw materials is more precious compared to the power stone,” Qin Huai muttered.

“Reply to Grandmaster, please see if you can get me a set of this armor to study. If we can replicate it, it might be of use to our Nine Dragons sect.”

He then stood up and gazed towards the distant mountains.

If the Sacred Heart sect and the county governor’s mansion were to attack the Nine Dragons sect, they would most likely choose the direction of the mountain behind it.

For the past two days, Qin Huai had been trying to determine the best spot for defense, observing heavenly powers and astronomical phenomena and counting the weather every day.

Although he didn’t know much, there were still many people in the Nine Dragons sect who knew these things. Every day, many people would be in the mountains doing calculations. Qin Huai was also familiar with the place.

As he and Li Shaoxiang walked down the mountain towards the sect, she informed him about the situation in Huai Dan City. “Recently, Song Ya’s battle in Huai Dan City seems to have taken a turn for the worse. A few days ago, it was still a stalemate. In the past few days, he has retreated more than ten miles. Every day, he is pushed back about five miles. The momentum in the Balance Army is soaring. There are cheers everywhere.”

Qin Huai slowed down his footsteps. “Something must have happened. Instruct the disciples in the sect to keep a close eye on Song Ya and the city lord’s mansion.”

Li Shaoxiang nodded and took out the second letter. “The few batches of antidote pills that the sect released recently were all sold at high prices. We raised the price a few times in a row, but the result didn’t change.”

The detoxification pills in the sect had risen from the original fifteen taels to thirty taels, the same as the auction house. A total of forty thousand pills were sold out, earning the Nine Dragons sect more than a million taels of silver.

Qin Huai sighed. “The county governor’s mansion didn’t underestimate the Nine Dragons sect just because the Zhang family was destroyed. Since they’ve acquired at least half of those forty thousand pills, they’re clearly prepared to fight a protracted war with us.”

“Unfortunately, they don’t know that we’ve already upgraded and replaced our poison techniques. We’re already ahead of them,” Li Shaoxiang said with fanaticism in her eyes.

Every time she looked at Qin Huai, it was as if she was looking at a god, which often made him feel overwhelmed.

“Thanks to Brother Ge, the goods are stable and secretive. I’ve never heard of some winding paths before.”

“My husband is still more powerful,” Li Shaoxiang said decisively. “I don’t think the people in the county governor’s mansion would have guessed that you were able to change all our commonly used poisons in just a few days.”

“In the poison path, I do have a little bit of talent,” Qin Huai replied calmly.

Although the poison targeted only ordinary blood refinement martial artists, if they wanted to develop a truly new poison, it might take at least a year or even several years, according to Li Shaoxiang and the others.
