My Two-sided Cultivation: Starting From Collecting Experiences

Chapter 36

Smashing Gu He’s Signboard

“Ding! You have collected a [Breath Control Essence] (Dark Blue), [Breath Control] experience +636!”

As expected of the head of the Changshan Dojo, he actually gained more than 600 experience points in one go. One had to know that the amount of experience points he collected in a day was only around 1,300.

And now... His master had helped Qin Huai generate half of his income by himself, bringing his daily experience to nearly two thousand. His breathing technique had also successfully broken through the level 23 barrier and reached level 24 (2/3000).

“I only need ten days to reach the third refinement.”

Qin Huai did the mental calculation—the rumbling thunder skill was only three days away.

“I think you just experienced a life-and-death battle today, and your mind is still unstable. Go back and have a good rest.” Sun Yuanshan said as he looked at the absent-minded Qin Huai.

“I will obey Master’s orders!”

Qin Huai could only nod. His talent was too poor, and he could not see the slightest bit of skill in Sun Yuanshan’s moves. After picking up the experience ball, he could only watch helplessly.

“Also, don’t go to the mine for the next few days. That Hong San will definitely think of ways to find you in the mine. With the tacit understanding of the eight dojos, we, the third refinement and above, won’t make a move.” Sun Yuanshan said.

“Dare I ask Master, is the tacit understanding between the eight dojos only followed by the other seven dojos?”

“Of course, all eight dojos have to abide by it. Although the Thunderbolt Dojo is first, it’s not even at the top.” Sun Yuanshan’s voice came to an abrupt end as he looked at Qin Huai with a smile. He already understood what Qin Huai meant.

“Hong San killed our Changshan Dojo’s martial artists without any scruples because of the tacit understanding between the eight big martial arts centers and the benefits of the rumbling thunder skill. Although I can’t stop him from killing people, I can kill his people too. When we kill until everyone’s flesh hurts, there will naturally be a new tacit understanding.” Qin Huai stated his thoughts with a calm expression.

To put it bluntly, the conflict in the mine this time was because the strength of their own dojo was too weak. That was why the people from the Thunderbolt Dojo bullied him without any hesitation.

“You can try.” Sun Yuanshan did not stop him. “In the same realm, it would be fine even if you killed him. When the big ones come, your senior brothers will help you fight them back. When the old ones come, Master will still be here.

“In any case, there is no old man older than me in Pingnan City. I’m still quite good at taking advantage of my seniority,” Sun Yuanshan said with a smile. This disciple’s way of thinking was a little unconventional, but it was also a brilliant move.

“Many thanks, Master!” Qin Huai cupped his fists again.

“What’s there to thank? Isn’t it the dojo’s duty to protect their disciples from being bullied? If you keep retreating in the face of a strong enemy, what’s the point of practicing martial arts? Where do we find the human heart?

“Our Changshan Dojo is not as strong as the Thunderbolt Dojo, but we still have the courage to fight. It’s within the rules. Don’t worry and just do it boldly.”

Sun Yuanshan said all this in a calm voice, which made Qin Huai value the name Changshan Dojo even more.

“There’s one more thing I’d like to ask Master for help with.”

“You’re talking about the Luo mansion, right? Don’t worry. I’ll get your eldest senior brother to send someone to keep an eye on the Luo mansion.” Sun Yuanshan had already guessed what Qin Huai was thinking.

“Disciple thanks Master!” Qin Huai cupped his fists heavily before turning around and descending the mountain.

Since Hong San had discovered his uniqueness, he would definitely think of ways to kill him when he returned.

“Then why don’t I make the first move and kill all of his men? Then I won’t have to worry about the safety of myself and my fellow disciples.”

Besides, if he allowed Hong San to continue killing without restraint, how long would it take for him to reach the third, fourth, or even fifth or sixth refinement of his breathing technique?

For the past few days, he could clearly feel that the experience gain of the long breath technique had decreased by more than 100 points.

Sun Yuanshan touched his beard and looked at the back of the strong man who was going down the mountain. He carefully observed his breathing and footsteps.

“This kid has indeed comprehended something!”

Sun Yuanshan looked at Qin Huai’s aura and footsteps. It was obvious that he was much more profound than when he had come. Only a grandmaster of the breathing technique like him could notice such a small detail.

“At such a young age, he’s already learned how to hide his talents in front of his master.” Sun Yuanshan couldn’t hide his smile anymore. “Good comprehension, good comprehension! I finally have a chance in the eighth martial competition this time, hehe.”

…

The night was dark and the moon was bright.

The Green Moon brothel was one of the most famous restaurants in Pingnan City. At this moment, there was a hubbub of voices, and all the guests were wearing silk and gold, looking very extravagant.

Everyone talked loudly, and in the time it took for them to exchange cups, they had already consumed a day’s worth of food for an ordinary person.

At the entrance of the restaurant, Gu He walked in with his head held high.

“Gu He~ Master Gu is here~” The servant boy saw a familiar face and shouted towards the building with his clear throat.

At that moment, many customers at the door stood up and went up to Gu He. This was because an expert at the third refinement was not rare in the eight major martial arts centers, but in Pingnan City, he was a rare expert.

With a smile on his face, Gu He stopped the servant and made a gesture.

The manservant’s eyes lit up and he shouted loudly, “Master Gu will pay for all the drinks today!

Hualalalalalalalalala~

At this moment, all the customers upstairs and downstairs stood up and complimented Gu He.

“What kind of fortune did Master Gu make this time? Why are you so generous today?”

“Could it be that Master Gu has finally broken through the threshold of the fourth refinement? You’ve become a top expert?”

The crowd raised their glasses and toasted.

“He’s happier than me, Master Gu, for breaking through!”

Gu He found the best seat and sat down. “Hehe, you know my nephew, right? ”

“Who doesn’t know the famous Hong of the Thunderbolt Dojo?!” the big-bellied rich merchant blushed and complimented.

“Among the geniuses in Pingnan City, other than Reihom, who is fully deserving of the first place, I only recognize Third Young Master Hong!”

“Correct! I have the same thoughts!”

Gu He listened to everyone’s flattery and was extremely pleased. “My nephew signed a life-and-death contract with the Changshan Dojo at the White Flow mine! He’s going to challenge all the second refinement martial artists in the Changshan Dojo!

“Three days after the life and death declaration, Changshan Dojo lost three people, so no one in the entire dojo dares to accept the challenge! In that mine, all I do is hide from my nephew and dig for some leftover ore. Hahaha!” Gu He laughed out loud as he drank.

“Third Young Master Hong is so domineering!”

“It is! In the next five years, I’m afraid that the younger generation of Pingnan City will be trampled under the feet of Third Young Master Hong!”

Gu He was also enjoying the endless stream of people who were trying to flatter him. “That’s right. Hong San is so overbearing. I would be happy to have such a nephew.”

...

Bang!

A rough voice rang out, followed by a jar of wine being smashed on the table.

Gu He frowned and was about to say something when he saw the face of the owner of the wine.

It was Fang Han!

“Brother Fang, what’s the matter?” Gu He narrowed his eyes, his body tensed up. The muscular man in front of him was not someone who used his brain more than his muscles.

“Don’t be nervous. I’m here on my master’s orders to bring you some good wine to thank you.”

“Thank me? Thank me for what?” Gu He said slowly, “The eight major martial arts centers have a tacit understanding. As the elders, we can’t interfere in the fight between the younger generation.”

“Don’t worry, our Changshan Dojo is not as despicable as your Thunderbolt Dojo.”

“Then why have you come?” Gu He was confused.

Fang Han was calm and composed. “I told you that I’m here to thank you. It’s all thanks to you, the chief examiners of the Thunderbolt Dojo, who are blind and black-hearted, for rejecting Qin Huai. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to find such a good junior brother.”

“What do you mean?” Gu He was getting more and more confused. Qin Huai’s root bone and Qi and blood were personally tested by him, and they couldn’t be any worse. There was no possibility of turning the tables.

...

“You still don’t know?” Fang Han’s smile grew wider. “Qin Huai has only been in the library for three days, and he has already cultivated the long breath technique to level 10.”

“Hiss~”

When the surrounding customers heard this, they all gasped.

Gu He only sneered. He has a disciple who practices Qi nurturing technique. It’s normal for him to be faster in the beginning. “If he can reach level 20 breathing technique in a month, that would be shocking. It would be a blow to your reputation.”

Fang Han shook his head regretfully. “He didn’t manage to do that.”

The smile on Gu He’s face grew colder. He knew it.

“Junior Brother Qin was faster than you said. He only spent ten days.”
