204 Making a Move
Li Zewu gave Qin Huai a list of the names of the second branch. All of them were martial artists in the great blood refinement realm who could help.
Qin Huai wouldn’t know if he didn’t look. Although the second branch was isolated in the Nine Dragons sect, their strength was unusually strong.
There were seventy-three martial artists who were above the great blood refinement realm, which was twice as many as the fourth branch. It could be said to be the strongest branch of the Li family.
Although many of them had been stationed and assigned to various places in Lingjiang to take care of business, there were still more than twenty people who could be used. Furthermore, the only young elite of the Li family in the bone pattern realm was Li Zewu’s son, Li Xiao.
“No wonder Second Uncle can still be so confident even in an isolated situation,” Qin Huai muttered.
Li Zeren was able to become the head of the Li family because of his identity as the eldest son. Also, he had to be stronger than the other brothers. The rest were not as good as this second uncle.
“Hahaha… My men are waiting at home for your orders. If necessary, I can also transfer the rest of the people back.” Li Zewu patted Qin Huai’s shoulder heavily. “Now that you have me and Fourth Brother backing you up, I believe that Son-in-law’s next actions will be much easier.”
“Thank you, Uncle!” Qin Huai cupped his fists.
Then, he left in satisfaction.
…
“Ding! You have collected a [Elemental Protection Technique Essence (Purple)], [Elemental Protection Technique] Experience +1111!”
“Ding! You have collected a [White Dragon Force Comprehension],[White Dragon Force] +1%!”
Late at night, Qin Huai climbed the mountain and continued his cultivation with his master.
After his cultivation ended, Elder Erlong handed Qin Huai a large bag. “This is a great medicine I’ve prepared for you. It’s a poison that can corrode force. All of these work on the great blood refinement.”
Elder Erlong instructed and pointed to them one by one, looking at the package in front of him with a nostalgic expression. “It’s been too long since I’ve used poison. My manufacturing skills are a little rusty.”
“Grandmaster is too humble.” Qin Huai looked at the package in his hands.
Elder Erlong was indeed an expert in using poison. As the saying went, an expert would know if there was anything wrong with him once he made his move.
Qin Huai looked at the extremely fine powder and couldn’t help but sigh in admiration. “This poison is very fine. It’s very easy for the enemy to absorb it without anyone knowing.
“And the humidity is also very suitable. It won’t be scattered unevenly because of the condensation and reduce the effect. The paper used to wrap the poison is also very particular. It’s a thousand leaves that can fully lock the poison’s effect.”
“Hahaha… Kid, you still have some knowledge.” Elder Erlong stroked his beard in gratification when he heard this.
This was a little test for Qin Huai to see if he had fallen behind, and reality proved that this disciple was very diligent and eager to learn. No matter which path he chose, he would pay great attention to it.
Elder Erlong looked at the poison bag that was revealed from Qin Huai’s long sleeves. He caught a whiff of the smell and immediately analyzed the ingredients within. “You’re quite astute, kid. You actually knew to use some poison that can target the spirit to counter the force without asking. You’re very talented and perceptive.”
“It’s all because of Grandmaster’s daily influence that I had some epiphany.” Qin Huai was also very humble.
The two of them continued to discuss their understanding of poison under the night sky, causing Qin Huai to recall his memories at Changshan Dojo in a daze.
When he was talking about this with his master, it was also the same scene. However, due to the remoteness of the place, the materials used were not old enough to make good poison.
Now that Qin Huai had good medicine, his master was nowhere to be found.
“Don’t worry. Sun Yuanshan is very smart. He won’t die so easily.” Elder Erlong saw through Qin Huai’s thoughts and comforted him.
“You’re right. Even when Master was facing a bunch of fanatics from the Sacred Heart sect, he was able to leave calmly and even set them up. It shows Master’s fighting experience and vigilance.” Qin Huai sighed emotionally as well. He sat under the moon with Elder Erlong and prayed for his master in his heart.
“Recently, I have also gained some enlightenment on the forbidden technique. Sun Yuanshan, that kid, can be considered to have contributed.”
“Oh?” Qin Huai raised his eyebrows.
“I’ve already begun to study the second move of the flame longevity technique. It’ll allow the power of longevity to explode in a way similar to the rising dragon. Its power will definitely increase by a level.” Elder Erlong sighed. “It’s just that it’s easy to compress the white dragon to a single point, but it’ll take a lot of time to compress the huge amount of lifespan. ”
“Then Qin Huai will wait for news from Grandmaster.” Qin Huai bade farewell to Elder Erlong again.
…
Another three days passed.
Qin Huai had been cultivating step by step, and he was waiting for the news that Li Buhu had brought him.
That afternoon, Li Buhu walked into Qin Huai’s courtyard.
“Brother-in-law, the opportunity has come. Zhang Dagen, that bastard, has his eyes on a disciple of our fourth branch who went to September Hook. Just now, our people saw him following him out.” Li Buhu smiled sinisterly.
“Let’s go.” Qin Huai immediately stood up.
He avoided the eyes of the Nine Dragons sect’s disciples and left the mountain through a small path at the back.
But he did not let Li Buhu follow him. The latter was only at the seventh refinement, so he was completely useless.
He only brought a messenger pigeon from the Nine Dragons sect, which was rumored to have a trace of the bloodline of the blue phoenix. Fearless of the cold, it can travel quickly in all seasons.
He walked out of the mountain gate and immediately released a messenger pigeon to inform the people of the second branch of his location.
Then, he ran wildly in the direction that Li Buhu had mentioned, the route that the disciple took to September Hook.
