Chapter 158: Huarong Road in the Southern Region
Three days later.
In the early morning, Qin Feng looked at the Literature Qi inside the Divine Sea with some confusion.
“In the past few days, the rate of Literature Qi growth has been too fast.”
The deceased have passed away, and the living go on. Qin Feng naturally couldn’t immerse himself in sorrow all the time.
So during these days, he resumed his past cultivation, treated patients, and memorized books.
Although the method of cultivation was similar to before, the accumulation of Literature Qi was significantly faster than before.
“This is probably because of the manifestation of the dragon veins in Jinyang City.”
He remembered what Senior Si Zheng had told him when he was in Qiyuan City.
The land of dragon veins is a blessed place favored by heaven. Anyone cultivating here can make rapid progress.
But he didn’t expect the effect to be so amazing!
Qin Feng sighed in his heart, left the room, and came to the hall, ready to have breakfast with his family.
He sat down, glanced at his second brother beside him, and asked, “How is it? Has Lord Zhen Tianyi agreed to accept you as his disciple?”
Qin Feng thought that after the disaster of the invasion of Jinyang City ended, Lord Zhen Tianyi would leave with Yu Mei as soon as possible.
After all, the Twelve Divine Generals and the Thirty-Six Stars, were the supreme forces of the Demon Slayer Department. How could they stay in one place for a long time?
However, to his surprise, ten days had passed, and these two people still stayed in the Qin residence.
Every day, Zhen Tianyi would carefully instruct his second brother in the courtyard on the Dao of the Balde.
This also gave Qin Feng a glimmer of hope.
A glimmer of hope that Lord Zhen Tianyi would accept his second brother as a disciple!
His second brother replied, “Lord Zhen Tianyi is just teaching me as before.”
“Is there any sign of him accepting you as his disciple?” Qin Feng frowned.
His second brother shook his head, and then he seemed to think of something. “But, Big Brother, I feel that Senior Yu has some strange intentions.”
Hmm?
Qin Feng was puzzled. What strange intentions could that beautiful big sister who liked to show her legs have?
“What’s wrong with her?” Qin Feng asked.
His second brother pondered for a moment, then said seriously, “I feel that she has thoughts about me.”
“Cough!” Dad was eating when he suddenly coughed violently.
The Second Mother also widened her beautiful eyes and looked over blankly.
Qin Feng opened his mouth wide, with an incredulous expression on his face.
Senior Yu had already openly expressed her liking for Lord Zhen Tianyi. How could she possibly have intentions for his second brother?
Thinking that the two of them were high-ranking warriors with extraordinary hearing, Qin Feng hurriedly whispered, “Second brother, don’t talk nonsense. How could Senior Yu possibly have intentions for you?”
The second brother explained with a serious expression, “Big brother, I didn’t talk nonsense. Every time Lord Zhen Tianyi instructs me, she is always present.”
“At first, it was nothing. She just watched from a distance.”
“But later on, she would always speak up on the side, saying that I have great talent in the Dao of the Blade and that with time, I will surely achieve something. Doesn’t that look like she wants to accept me as her disciple.”
“However, what’s strange is that Senior Yu uses a sword, and I use a knife. How can she accept me as her disciple?”
[T/N: Sorry, It’s my mistake. I was quite confused about what the weapon of Qi An was as it translated to Sword and sometimes Knife, so I went with the Sword. I will correct it in the further translation.]
So, that’s what you meant by intentions, Qin Feng thought, his mouth twitching.
Dad took a sip of soup to calm down, and the Second Mother also breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Feng propped up his chin, thinking, “Senior Yu is obviously in a hurry, trying every means to get Lord Zhen Tianyi to take a disciple.”
Perhaps, the two of them never left, and she might have been meddling in between.
Ah, it’s really not easy for a woman in love, especially when the admired one is a straight man.
However, for Qin Feng, this is a great thing.
Because of this, the chances of Lord Zhen Tianyi taking his second brother as a disciple became even greater!
After experiencing the chaos in Jinyang City, witnessing life and death separations, he became even more certain that to survive well in such turbulent times, one must have strong strength or position!
His original account was abandoned by the previous owner, wasting more than ten years. Catching up with the progress of others is not an easy task.
Therefore, the second brother’s must practice hard!
Thinking of this, Qin Feng turned his head to look at his second brother, who was still enjoying his meal.
A martial artist’s appetite is already astonishing, and given that his second brother has been training from morning till night under Zhen Tianyi’s guidance, his appetite is naturally even larger.
However, time is of the essence now, as no one knows when Lord Zhen Tianyi and the others will leave!
Therefore.
“Second brother, I think you’ve eaten enough. Hurry up and go to the courtyard to practice with your knife,” Qin Feng coughed and said.
Second brother was surprised: “But I haven’t taken a few bites yet?”
“In martial cultivation, there are also rules for eating. Eat less for breakfast, eat full for lunch, and eat lightly for dinner.
Before, I saw you were growing, so I didn’t pay attention to these things.
But now, you have reached the sixth rank in the Gathering Energy Realm, and these details must be taken seriously.”
As Qin Feng spoke, he took out a bottle of Blood Qi Pill from his spatial ring: “Use this as your meal.”
For a martial artist like Qi An, Blood Qi Pill does help to satiate hunger. However, due to it’s not-so-good taste and expensive price, few martial artists choose this method.
Seeing the Blood Qi Pill, the second brother’s face turned a bit unpleasant: “Big brother, what you said, is it true?”
Qin Feng lied without a change in his expression: “Big brother has read many books; I won’t deceive you.”
“Okay.” The second brother still unconditionally trusted Qin Feng. He put away the medicine bottle and was about to get up.
“Wait, here is a jar of Drunken Immortal Wine. Bring it to Senior Zhen Tianyi, don’t forget the courtesy,” Qin Feng instructed.
After the second brother left the hall, the old man raised his head curiously and asked, “Feng’er, does martial cultivation also require attention to these things?”
Before Qin Feng could respond, the second mother beside him frowned and said displeased, “Feng’er has read many books and naturally understands. Master, since you’re neither versed in literature nor martial arts, don’t interrupt and ask questions.”
The old man immediately conceded.
Just then, a hurried footstep outside the hall was heard. The gatekeeper, with a joyful expression, hurriedly reported, “Master, good news, great news!”
“What good news?” Qin Jian’an asked in confusion.
“The Great Gan Emperor is constructing an official road, the Huarong Road. Today, that road has reached outside Jinyang City! Our small city is probably going to change its face!” The gatekeeper exclaimed.
Finally, it’s here. Qin Feng remained calm, as he had known about this for a while.
And in these days, apart from accumulating literary energy through cultivation, he hadn’t been idle, making preparations in advance.
The second mother was overjoyed. Although she was a woman of the house, she also understood the benefits of an official road.
That is a road built by the imperial court. Not only is it spacious, but every fifty miles, there are also post stations established.
On regular days, officials from the Demon Slaying Department and soldiers will patrol. Compared to mountain trails, it is much safer.
Most importantly, with the official road, the journey to other major towns will be much faster.
With this improved transportation, the city of Jinyang will naturally become lively. Merchants will frequently come and go, bringing many benefits!
“Tell me quickly, which places in the southern region does this Huarong Road pass through?” Second Sister asked with joy.
The gatekeeper answered, “I heard from others that the Huarong Road seems to pass through all the heavenly cities in the southern region.”
Upon hearing this, even Qin Feng showed a surprised expression.
