My Two-sided Cultivation: Starting From Collecting Experiences

55 The Four-directional Tiger-Wolf technique, One-day White Dragon

Qin Huai was halfway there when he saw Qi Yangbing, who was running toward him.

“Junior Brother, are you alright?” Qi Yangbing grabbed both of Qin Huai’s arms, his face overflowing with joy.

“I’m fine. The matter has been resolved.” Qin Huai immediately understood Qi Yangbing’s intention.

“What’s wrong with Senior Brother Fang? You said you wanted to try, and he really dared to let you try.” Qi Yangbing sighed. “What if something happens? How am I going to explain it to Master?”

He added, “Senior Brother’s brain is still not active enough. I didn’t know that I had also made a detour and met you at a further place. If something happens, we can provide timely reinforcements to ensure that nothing goes wrong.”

“Or simply return to the scene… I didn’t expect him to really go back.”

Qi Yangbing grumbled a little, then walked side by side with Qin Huai in the direction of the Changshan Dojo.

“However, this time, Old Qin the Sixth openly helped Gu He to deal with you and broke the rules of the eight big martial arts centers. Master will definitely help you cut some meat.” Qi Yangbing’s expression turned cold. “The Thunderbolt Dojo has been the head of the eight big martial arts centers for a long time. They have become more and more unscrupulous…”

“Senior Brother, I heard from Senior Brother Fang yesterday that you and Eldest Senior Brother went to deliver armor to the army?” Qin Huai asked.

“Yes, the city lord’s mansion has been stocking up on food and armor since a few months ago. It’s obvious that they’ve sensed danger.

“The city lord wasn’t surprised when Master told me about the Sacred Heart sect you mentioned earlier. Perhaps these soldiers, armor, and provisions are prepared for the Sacred Heart sect.” Qi Yangbing was helpless.

The world was difficult, and today seemed to be more difficult than yesterday. There was no end in sight.

“When you go to the barracks to deliver the armor, can you watch the soldiers practice martial arts?”

“Of course. Our cultivation method requires the heart sutra and a unique martial posture, which is the movement of the cultivation. Just by looking at it, I can indeed see a little bit of it, but that’s all.” Qi Yangbing knew that this junior brother of his was exceptionally diligent. He liked to watch others practice and summarize their progress.

“The first time I went with Master, I also strolled around. It was a great eye-opener.” Qi Yangbing reminisced. However, one couldn’t learn a cultivation technique by just looking at it.

“If you want to observe, I’ll bring you along the next time I deliver goods.” Qi Yangbing smiled.

“Then I’ll thank you in advance, Senior Brother!” Qin Huai cupped his fists solemnly. “I wonder what kind of cultivation technique the city lord’s army is practicing?”

“The army of the city lord’s mansion cultivates the four-directional tiger-wolf technique, which is considered one of the few cultivation techniques commonly used by the Great You dynasty’s army.

“Most of the troops in the towns and cities under our county are using the four-directional tiger-wolf technique.” Qi Yangbing paused for a moment. “The four-directional tiger-Wolf technique is a technique that risks one’s life. It’s easy to learn and doesn’t need to be cultivated to the first level to unleash its power. When activated, it can make one’s qi and blood boil for a short period of time and obtain the power of a tiger and wolf. But the disadvantage is also obvious. It will shorten your life…”

Qin Huai listened to Qi Yangbing’s explanation and silently memorized it. He had a clear goal. He would not let go of this four-directional tiger-wolf technique.

The city lord’s mansion had 2,000 armored soldiers, which was the most suitable for collecting experience points. If it weren’t for the strict military rules, they would have no choice but to follow the orders.

Qin Huai wanted to be a soldier for months or even years. However, once he joined the army, he had no choice.

That was also the officialdom, where there were schemes and intrigues everywhere. If he were not careful, he would be beheaded. It was the kind of thing that was useless, even if he had strength.

Moreover, if some evil officials wanted to deal with him and ordered him to attack the land of demons, would he go to die? If he didn’t go, would he become a deserter?

Even if he escaped, he would still be wanted by the entire Great You, and he would die. The risk was too great…but it would be great to collect experience points while delivering goods.

“All good things are accompanied by evil. I’m not suitable for it.” Qin Huai sighed in his heart.

As for Qi Yangbing’s claim that the four-directional tiger wolf spell would shorten one’s life… Wasn’t the breath control technique a cultivation technique that could extend one’s lifespan?

Adding the two together, it was equivalent to negating the side effects of the four-directional tiger-wolf technique. There was probably no need to worry.

The two of them returned to the dojo. Qi Yangbing remembered something before they parted ways.

“There’s a gathering of the young talents of the eighth martial roll in two days. It’s similar to Sun Ziyao’s tea party. Now that you’ve killed Gu He, Junior Brother, you’re considered to have the strength of the third refinement. You’re qualified to enter.

“When the time comes, I’ll take you to see the most outstanding proud sons in Pingnan City and see if you can form a few good relationships, which will be beneficial for the future.”

“Then Junior Brother will respectfully accept.” Qin Huai expressed his thanks. He also wanted to see what realm and strength the geniuses in this city were at. After all, he was indeed coveting the top spot of the eight martial roll.

The qi and blood treasure medicine that could increase his strength was secondary. The key was the recommendation letter from the city’s martial arts centers.

A storm was brewing in Pingnan City. The city lord’s mansion was extremely tense with the gathering of countless refugees and the appearance of the Sacred Heart sect.

If he could get the recommendation letter, if something really happened in Pingnan City, he could also take Luo Ya and the other two to Zhang county, leaving himself a way out.

…

Early the next morning, Qin Huai went to the drill ground to collect experience balls as usual.

As he collected experience points, he also paid attention to his body. Because he had lost two white dragons in the battle with Gu He, only one white dragon remained in his body.

“Ding! You have collected a [Breath Control Technique Essence (White) ], [Breath Control Technique] Experience +32!”

“Ding! You have collected a [Breath Control Technique Essence (White) ], [Breath Control Technique] Experience +54!”

“Ding! You have collected a [Breath Control Technique Essence (Green) ], [Breath Control Technique] Experience +100!”

From the moment the first experience ball entered Qin Huai’s body, a familiar wisp of white qi quietly appeared in his dantian.

After that, as each new experience ball merged with his body, the ‘white gas’ in Qin Huai’s body grew stronger. From a thread to a wisp, from one to a dragon…

By the time Qin Huai had finished collecting the drill ground’s experience, the white Dragon was already vivid and lifelike, flying majestically in Qin Huai’s dantian.

However, it was still smaller than the complete white dragon.

“I thought it would take two or three days to recover a white dragon, but it seems like I underestimated my cultivation speed.”

Qin Huai was in a good mood. After all, there was still a large experience ball that he had not collected in the Changshan ancestral house.

Sure enough, after Qin Huai ascended the mountain and cultivated with Sun Yuanshan for one round, he was finally done.

The newly born white dragon in his body had already completed its transformation.

“At the rate of one white dragon being born a day, I don’t have to worry about the consumption of energy for the rising dragon. I can use it as a normal attack and use it boldly,” Qin Huai thought to himself.

After all, he only needed three days to recuperate, and he would be able to recuperate three white dragons. This was about the same time as the time he needed to recuperate after a normal battle. There was no need to be frugal.

…

“Ding! You have collected a [Thunderflash Skill Essence (White) ], [Thunderflash Skill] Experience +53!”

“Ding! You have collected a [Thunderflash Skill Essence (White) ], [Thunderflash Skill] Experience +27!”

“Ding! You have collected a [Thunderflash Skill Essence (White) ], [Thunderflash Skill] Experience +46!”

“Ding! You have collected a [Thunderflash Skill Essence (White) ], [Thunderflash Skill] Experience +22!”

“Ding! You have collected a [Thunderflash Skill Essence (White) ], [Thunderflash Skill] Experience +44!”

“Ding! You have collected a [Thunderflash Skill Essence (Green) ], [Thunderflash Skill] Experience +114!”

…

Three days passed by in a flash.

Qin Huai had been rather carefree these few days. Other than picking up experience as usual, he also attended more and more tea parties.

He could already remember most of the names of the apprentices in the dojo.

His image in everyone’s hearts was getting better and better, and the experience points he collected from everyone had also increased a little.

Of course, there were some exceptions, such as Li Bowu. The 19th on the eight martial roll felt that he had stolen his ‘fifth personal disciple’ position.

His experience points were unmoved. It did not increase even after Qin Huai had taken the initiative to be friendly twice.

Qin Huai didn’t let it go, so he never bothered with Li Bowu again.

Back inside the house, Qin Huai was sitting cross-legged on the bed. He closed his eyes slightly and sensed his body.

The fourth white dragon was formed…
