My Two-sided Cultivation: Starting From Collecting Experiences

Chapter 28

The Strange Cultivation Technique of the Plum Blossom Split Open Twice!

Qin Huai looked at the increase in his experience points and was speechless for a moment.

These two groups of people kept saying “Thunderbolt Dojo” and “Changshan Dojo” but none of them were telling the truth. They were all pretending to be powerful. They should be mine thieves who came in from a mine tunnel that was connected to the White Flow Mountain.

If it wasn’t for the experience ball that allowed him to see through these people’s disguises, he might have been ambushed by the two waves of people.

However, forget about the spirit eye technique. Why did a wave of people with breath control appear around Pingnan City?

He had watched as the breath control secret manual was burned, and the breath control technique had always been the Blackhawk Gang’s symbol. He had never heard anyone mention any other forces that knew breath control techniques.

That cultivation technique was indeed strange. Fortunately, he didn’t burn the cultivation technique for small gains. Otherwise, he would definitely cause trouble for himself.

Qin Huai quietly retreated, trying to distance himself from these unidentified people. He would go back and ask Fang Han and the others for information before making any plans.

But who would have thought that a pair of lights suddenly appeared in the darkness?

“There’s someone there!”

Another pair of eyes flashed in the dark night.

“It’s the uniform of the Changshan Dojo.”

The two groups of people instantly gave up on fighting each other and headed straight for Qin Huai.

A wave of coal lamps gathered, instantly leaving Qin Huai with nowhere to hide. Qin Huai could also see that the people on both sides had changed their clothes, but he couldn’t tell which sect they were from.

That’s right. Snatching food from the mouths of tigers at the Changshan and Thunderbolt Dojos could be considered bold, but if one dared to show their identity and come so brazenly…that would mean that they didn’t know what was good for him.

“Boss, he’s alone,” someone said. “He’s a new face. He’s not on the list of the two dojos.” There were also people holding paintings in their hands.

When the intruders heard this, their expressions calmed down and also became arrogant.

“Boss, can’t you leave a complete body for such a delicate little brat?”

“Haha! What a pleasant surprise!” Ghost Nine’s face was ferocious. “Too bad, kid. You’re out alone and you met us. You’re really unlucky~”

Ghost Nine brandished his strange long whip-like weapon, which was covered with blades, and instantly rushed toward Qin Huai.

The blade whip in his hand suddenly swung. Like a silver snake, it whistled and exploded in the air. It sped forward with a strong wind and slashed down with a loud bang.

Pa!

The arrogant voice in the mine cave stopped. Everyone’s eyes were wide open as they looked at the scene in disbelief.

Qin Huai stretched out two fingers. He caught the sharp blade whip, and he didn’t move at all.

“How is this possible?” Someone’s voice trembled.

“Wha… Ugh, ugh, ugh…”

Before Ghost Nine’s voice had died away, a gust of wind poured into his mouth. It blocked his throat and made him unable to make a sound.

In the next moment, Qin Huai was already in front of him. He clenched his fists and used all his strength.

The three white dragons attacked together. Before the fist arrived, the white dragons had reached Ghost Nine, and the terrifying force seemed to turn into a fist of Qi, penetrating his body.

Ghost Nine spat out blood on the spot, and his eyes cracked.

“Ding! You have collected a [Spirit Eye Technique Essence (Blue) ], [Spirit Eye Technique] Experience has increased by 162!”

Qin Huai’s feet stirred up the wind as if he had divine help.

“Damn it, I’ll fight it out with him!”

“There are so many of us, and we can’t even kill him?!”

“Yeah, if we run, none of us will survive!”

The two groups of people cursed and charged toward Qin Huai with their fists and weapons in hand.

Qin Huai didn’t put on airs. The three white dragons didn’t hold back at all. They formed a solid and invisible wall of air on the surface of their bodies.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

He was fighting one against many. Although two fists were no match for four hands, Qin Huai had the Qi wall to support him. It could be said to be a 360-degree three-dimensional defense with no dead angles.

The blades of the punches and kicks came crashing down, but Qin Huai was unscathed.

“How is this possible?!”

“What kind of cultivation method is this guy practicing?!”

The group of people was shocked and angry. They could not break through Qin Huai’s defense no matter how they attacked him. They didn’t even cut his clothes.

They might be ‘soft-hearted’, but Qin Huai would not be soft-hearted. The white dragon wrapped around his fists, and he punched one of them with each punch.

From the names, one could tell that the breath control technique and the spirit eye technique weren’t cultivation techniques that focused on attacking.

From the moment Ghost Nine and the others had charged forward, it was destined to be a one-sided slaughter.

“Ding! You have collected a [Spirit Eye Technique Essence (Blue) ], [Spirit Eye Technique] experience has increased by 162!”

“Ding! You have collected a [Breath Control Essence] (Green), [Breath Control] experience has increased by 22!”

“Ding! You have collected a [Spirit Eye Technique Essence (Green) ], [Spirit Eye Technique] experience has increased by 41!”

“Ding! You have collected a [Spirit Eye Technique Essence (Blue) ], [Spirit Eye Technique] experience has increased by 33!”

“Ding! You have collected a [Spirit Eye Technique Essence (Blue) ], [Spirit Eye Technique] experience has increased by 22!”

…

Qin Huai’s eyes seemed to clear away the clouds.

The range of visibility increased as the experience points of spirit eye technique increased, and it became further and further, finally stopping at one meter.

“This spirit eye technique is just as its name suggests, it can increase one’s range of sight in the dark,” Qin Huai mumbled.

...

With this technique and the breath control technique, he could easily escape. It was simply tailor-made for the terrain of the iron mine.

“I don’t need to use the gas lamp anymore. I can move freely in the mine. In this terrain, as long as I don’t cultivate a martial art with similar effects, I’ll definitely have the upper hand in the same realm as long as I destroy the lantern first.”

Being blind was too deadly for anyone. Even if he were to face a third refinement martial artist, Qin Huai would definitely be able to retreat easily, let alone defeat him.

But of course, Qin Huai only thought about it. He would never take this risk unless he had no other choice.

There were a total of eleven people in the two groups, and he had killed one first refinement martial artist each.

“Where did your cultivation method come from?” Qin Huai held a lamp and looked at the two of them with a cold expression.

“If I tell you, will you not kill us?” The man’s voice trembled.

“If you speak any slower, you’re really going to die.”

“I bought my spirit eye technique from a woodcutter.”

“I got my breath control technique from digging for treasures.”

The two of them had long been scared out of their wits by Qin Huai’s beating.

...

“From digging for treasure?” Qin Huai raised an eyebrow.

“A month ago, I snatched a treasure map in Songkou town and dug out this breath control technique according to the route on the treasure map,” the bandit said as he trembled and revealed a cultivation technique book in his arms.

Qin Huai looked at the cultivation technique, and a strange smell hit him in the face.

It was the same smell! Could one really dig out a cultivation technique from a treasure map?

Qin Huai felt that something was amiss. “Wait, you mean you’ve cultivated breath control to level 10 in a month?” With this kind of cultivation speed, he would be considered a genius in the eight big dojos.

“Well…” the man stammered.

“Ah!”

The crisp sound of his finger bones breaking made the man scream in pain.

“Yes, yes. If you keep this cultivation method in your arms and cultivate, it will increase your cultivation speed by a lot.”

“Oh?” Qin Huai was shocked. There was such a thing?

“What a coincidence. Me too!” The man who cultivated the spirit eye technique looked at the other person as if he had seen a ghost.

Could it be that obtaining the original copy of the cultivation technique really had such a miraculous effect?

Something was wrong. This was already the second breath control secret manual he had come across.

Qin Huai thought about it and ended their lives.

“Ding! You have collected a [Breath Control Essence] (Blue), [Breath Control] experience has increased by 133!”

“Ding! You have collected a [Spirit Eye Technique Essence (Blue) ], [Spirit Eye Technique] Experience +162!”

He bent down to search the bodies, stripped them of their clothes, and piled them in the corner.

He found a total of thirty-seven taels of silver, as well as a spirit eye technique manual and a breath control technique manual. Other than that, he found nothing else.

Qin Huai poured the iron poison powder on the faces of all eleven people, then evenly spread it on the pile of clothes. He was afraid that someone would follow the clues or accidentally implicate him. That was why he destroyed the corpses.

As the name suggested, the iron poison powder was a drug that could poison and corrode iron. It was a poison recipe that Qin Huai had learned when he was promoted to an advanced alchemist.

Even though he was calculative, destroying all of these also used up a bag of iron poison powder. Unfortunately, he could have made plans after he understood everything. He didn’t expect that Ghost Nine and the others would force him to change his plan.

He finally understood the ancient saying that plans could not keep up with changes. Now, he could only kill and disfigure, erasing all traces that might expose him.

Then, he saw the breath control technique manual with a strange smell. Letting him know about this strange secret manual was bound to be a huge risk.

“If it’s a blessing, it’s not a calamity. If it’s a calamity, it can’t be avoided. If there are more people who cultivate breath control and spirit eye techniques, I will take them all in.”

As long as he killed everyone, no one would disclose his information.

He took the two secret manuals and put them in his arms. Then, he began to practice under the lamp.

After half an hour, Qin Huai looked at the experience points of the two cultivation methods, which had increased by one each.

“Why is there no effect when I practice with the secret manual?” Qin Huai reflected on himself. It was probably because he was too lacking in talent.

And now, he was no longer as sensitive to the fact that his aptitude was poor. He was a little calm and accepted the fact naturally.

“Since this strange secret manual has no effect on me, I’ll just burn it.”

He first walked out of the mine pit and started a fire to burn both secret manuals.

“Ding! You have collected a [Breath Control Essence] (Purple), [Breath Control] experience has increased by 3,000!”

“Ding! You have collected a [Spirit Eye Technique Essence (Purple) ], [Spirit Eye Technique] experience has increased by 162!”
