My Two-sided Cultivation: Starting From Collecting Experiences

58 Geniuses Gather and Settle Scores After Autumn

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

“Ding! You have collected a [Long Breath Technique Essence (White) ], [Long Breath Technique] Experience +26!”

“Ding! You have collected a [Long Breath Technique Essence (White) ], [Long Breath Technique] Experience +23!”

On the second day, Qin Huai routinely collected the experience points. As a result, the long breath technique’s experience points dropped from 2,000 to 1,000 per day.

“I’ll have to wait for more than a month to break through the fourth refinement.”

Qin Huai looked at the sky. It was almost noon.

Today was the day his Senior Brother Qi Yangbing asked him to meet the young talents of the eight major dojos.

Hu~

A gust of cold wind blew.

Qin Huai suddenly shivered and immediately circulated his qi and blood to dissolve the chill.

“It seems like the heavens of this other world are also blessed with martial arts. I’m afraid more than half of the refugees outside the city won’t be able to survive this winter.” Qin Huai rubbed his hands and cursed the weather in his heart.

It was still autumn, but the weather was already so cold. When winter came, it would probably be really quiet.

He returned to the house and opened the wardrobe. The black robe was embroidered with silver flowers. The design was not that beautiful, but instead carried a sharp edge.

There was black thread on the white robe, which was embroidered with rivers and mountains, giving off a slightly immortal aura.

There were also green robes and blue robes… They filled up Qin Huai’s cabinet. These were all personally made by his aunt, Yu Xin, and Luo Ya.

Just by looking at them, one could tell that the fabric was not cheap. Of course, the significance of these robes was different.

He ate the food that Yu Xin and Luo Ya sent him from time to time all day, and Qin Huai had also subtly treated the three of them as family.

Qin Huai even heard that there was no longer any vitality soup in the city. A bowl of vitality soup had been raised to a sky-high price of 50 taels a bowl, but there was still demand but no supply.

Even with the current prices, these fifty taels were enough to feed an ordinary family of three for a year.

But now, he only wanted a bowl of vitality soup…

He could only sigh with emotion. The world was truly chaotic, but there were also many rich people.

As a result, Qin Huai would send back a bowl or two of vitality soup to Luo Huatian and Yu Xin from time to time.

The two of them had never cultivated before. Although a bowl of vitality soup could not extend one’s life, it could strengthen one’s body and soul, making the winter a little better.

Qin Huai had chosen a black robe with wool inside, which was quite warm on his body.

“The Drunken Immortal restaurant…” Qin Huai mumbled to himself as he quickly walked out.

However, there was a small interlude on the way, and he met Li Bowu in front of the dojo.

“What a coincidence, to actually meet Senior Brother Qin here.” Li Bowu was surprised to see Qin Huai, but he smiled.

“Yup.” Qin Huai put on a fake smile. He didn’t have a good impression of this person.

“What about some time ago? There’s a misunderstanding between us, and it’s mainly my fault. I was too petty!” Li Bowu immediately started to confess, “I cared too much about fame and fortune, and I ignored the most important thing between us. Now that I’ve come to my senses, I hope it’s not too late!”

Li Bowu’s face was full of emotion and regret, with mixed feelings.

“I don’t ask for Senior Brother’s forgiveness. I’ll show you how sincere I am in the future!” His voice was powerful and sonorous.

Qin Huai couldn’t help but nod, and the smile on his face seemed to be more sincere. As long as Li Bowu’s experience ball could increase by three points…

No, at two o’clock, he would check Li Bowu’s “sudden repentance.” After all, Li Bowu was a complete hypocrite.

Qin Huai gave it a label in his heart. He even wondered if he should find an opportunity to kill Li Bowu to avoid any more trouble.

“Senior Brother, shall we go together?” Li Bowu probed.

“One Dao!” Qin Huai nodded.

The two young men, who looked harmonious on the surface but were actually at odds with each other, talked and laughed along the way. They were chatting very happily.

When the two of them arrived at the second floor of the Drunken Immortal restaurant, the crowd had already started drinking.

He stepped on the bench and drank to his heart’s content.

“Junior Brother Qin, Junior Brother Li.” Qi Yangbing led the two to a seat.

Li Bowu didn’t sit next to Qi Yangbing. Instead, he greeted him and ran to another pile of people to have a good time.

And in the middle, a small and thin youth with a buzz cut was talking about this Drunken Immortal restaurant.

“The Drunken Immortal restaurant’s name is bold, and its background is not simple either. It’s the property of the city lord’s mansion. Every day, there’s a large amount of silver being sent to the mansion.

“Our city lord is also smart. He didn’t admit nor deny it. Countless people want to use the Drunken Immortal restaurant to build a relationship with that person in the city lord’s mansion, so they’re spending a lot of money here as a stepping stone. The Drunken Immortal restaurant had earned a lot of money.”

“Then if you don’t do anything for a long time, will someone still send you?” a young man asked with a smile.

“Why not? If you pay this silver, you’ll be paying respects to the mountain. If they don’t work for you, at least they won’t find trouble with you. If you don’t hand it over…” The petite young man chuckled.

“There’s another saying that the city lord’s mansion does things, but the price is not set… How much money you can give to solve all the problems, it all depends on you.

“If you give too little, there’s no second chance. Next time, I’ll take enough… Tsk, tsk. I’ve gained some knowledge.”

The crowd was amazed.

“Why don’t you say that the city lord is the best at making money?” The petite young man looked at everyone’s reaction and was quite proud.

The one who spoke is Cai Jiulou, the number one among the younger generation of the Mang Mountain Saber Dojo. He’s also ranked seventh on the eight martial roll and is in the fourth refinement realm.

“Don’t look down on his short stature, he can split himself with his saber.” Qi Yangbing introduced them to Qin Huai.

Qin Huai glanced around. All of them had young faces with protruding temples and bright eyes. They were obviously all trained.

The second floor of the Drunken Immortal restaurant should have been fully occupied by the young talents who were ranked eighth on the martial roll and close to that. The top ten of the eight martial roll were all in the fourth refinement realm.

...

“The first and the ninth are from the Thunderbolt Dojo. Reihom isn’t here, though. That’s Bai Yusheng, ninth place. He’s also the son of the head of the Thunderbolt Dojo, Bai Bashan.”

Qi Yangbing was drinking as he introduced the people on the eight martial roll of honor to Qin Huai.

Qin Huai followed Qi Yangbing’s gaze and saw a man with phoenix eyes and long hair that reached his waist. He was wearing a blue robe and sitting quietly at a table. There were two young men in the same blue robe beside him.

“His two seatmates are the 13th ranked Cao Wang and the 17th ranked Gu Elephant. They are also from the Thunderbolt Dojo. His family has four people,” Qi Yangbing continued.

The enmity between the two families was difficult to resolve, and it had intensified after the incident with Qin Huai. If they met in the wilderness, it would be hard not to fight to the death.

Coincidentally, Bai Yusheng and the other two also looked over. Their eyes met, and sparks flew.

Hu…

Cao Wang stood up and walked to Qin Huai and Qi Yangbing.

“I didn’t expect a pretty boy like you to be able to trick a third refinement martial artist like Gu He to death. Don’t tell me that you killed Gu He in bed?” Cao Wang’s smile was ferocious as he stared at Qin Huai.

“I only killed Gu He after he left the Thunderbolt Dojo. I don’t think I broke the rules, right?” Qin Huai’s expression was calm as he glanced at Cao Wang.

Did these fellows not know that Sixth Brother Qin had broken the rules by ambushing him? Who would dare to find trouble with him at this time?

...

Oh. Perhaps it was done by Sixth Brother Qin in private, or Bai Bashan had incited it… This kind of thing really couldn’t be made public.

He and Qi Yangbing looked at each other, and the two of them understood tacitly. His master’s big move had not come yet, so he would do it himself.

“We are very rule-abiding. Unlike you guys, you’re so arrogant that you don’t even care about the rules of the eight major martial centers.” Qi Yangbing’s voice suddenly became louder, causing many people to look over.

In fact, when Cao Wang stood up, many people had already looked over.

“Bullsh*t. We didn’t break the rules of the eight major martial arts centers!” Cao Wang cupped his fists from afar. “That Gu He left the dojo, so what happens after that has nothing to do with us.”

“Oh, you’re afraid I’ll find trouble with you and ask for a duel, aren’t you?” Cao Wang was ‘enlightened.’ “Tsk, those who come here are all young talents. They’re either geniuses on the eighth martial roll or have the chance to enter the eighth martial roll… We’re all martial arts lovers, but I didn’t expect you to be so afraid…”

He had indeed walked over to stir up trouble.

Qin Huai was unmoved by Cao Wang’s provocation. Instead, he continued, “Gu He did retreat, but Sixth Brother Qin didn’t, right? He ambushed me halfway.

“According to the rules of the eight major martial centers, the elders will not interfere in the disputes of the younger generation. Whoever meddles should pay the price. Either the person who meddled in it dies, or you have to compensate me with something of equal value.

“I didn’t see a single thing … It can’t be that Sixth Brother Qin is dead, right?” Qin Huai said methodically.

Hearing this, Cao Wang’s face turned red. “You said that Sixth Brother Qin sneaked an attack on you? Who can testify to that?”

Cao Wang was stunned. He did not expect such a thing to happen. No one in the dojo mentioned it, and no one in the Changshan Dojo made a fuss.

“It’s not difficult to prove this. There are two main roads from the Thunderbolt Dojo to Gu He’s residence, and many disciples of the eight major martial arts centers and some soldiers often pass by. If we find some witnesses and check the time, we’ll know,” Qi Yangbing said.

“What a coincidence. I saw Sixth Brother Qin that day.”

“I saw him too. I even followed him for a while…”

A few young people spoke up, clearly watching the show and not minding the matter. They were all geniuses from the eight major martial arts centers, so no one was afraid of threats.

Moreover, the matter of Old Qin the Sixth really made everyone loathe him. No one wanted this kind of thing to fall on their heads in the future. Therefore, they didn’t show any mercy.

The ordinary people who saw this didn’t dare to say anything because they were afraid of the Thunderbolt Dojo’s power. However, the young people from the various dojos didn’t say anything because they were waiting for this moment.

“Someone has indeed seen the whereabouts of Sixth Brother Qin, so this matter could be confirmed.”

“You can’t prove it. That’s Old Qin’s personal behavior. It has nothing to do with the Thunderbolt Dojo… But you guys won’t break the rules, and a first-class martial arts center like my Thunderbolt Dojo will never break the rules. When we return, we will naturally hand over the compensation with both hands!”

Bai Yusheng, who was not far away, walked over and spoke in a calm voice. He knew that this matter was unreasonable and would be attacked by the masses, so he wanted to settle this matter quickly.

“To be honest, the reputation of the Thunderbolt Dojo is gone…” Qin Huai said indifferently. “If you want to pay up, why don’t you pay up now? Even if it’s a little less, it’s still better than you guys going back on your word.”

“What did you say you wanted?” Bai Yusheng was taken aback. He took a deep breath, but the smile on his face remained.

He wanted to test Qin Huai’s strength today. However, he didn’t expect that he would be so close to dying before he could even begin testing.

“That depends on how much you think a fourth refinement martial artist is worth,” Qin Huai said slowly.
