My Two-sided Cultivation: Starting From Collecting Experiences

64 Climbing the Mountain at Night, Meeting the Sacred Heart Disciples

At the Luo mansion, Luo Huatian called for the dishes to be served. “Now, two thousand armored horses are trampling the forest. With the help of the martial arts centers of various sizes in the city, the number of mountain bandits within a radius of several dozen miles around Pingnan City has decreased sharply.”

“Business is getting better.”

“Oh, the Cui family. Ah, yes.”

Qin Huai looked at the map a few times, then put it away and quickly took the rice from Luo Huatian.

“This time, the net profit is ten thousand taels.” Luo Huatian’s face was full of smiles. “When the snow melts next spring, our family of four will move to the county city. I’ve been feeling uneasy for a while. Pingnan is still too small and unsafe.” Luo Huatian looked over. “Huai’er, what do you think? ”

“If a war really breaks out, the county city might be in even more danger,” Qin Huai pondered. “Let’s take one step at a time. I’ll also go into the mountains to take a look and figure out the terrain.”

Luo Huatian’s worry was not without reason. Although he had a map of the surroundings of Pingnan City, it was still best to measure it personally and explore the situation.

In the future, if he were to encounter a siege or an army, it would be much better for him to run away if he was familiar with the terrain.

In addition, he had another layer of consideration. Most of the bandits on the mountain had been cleared by the city lord’s mansion and the martial arts centers that had come to help. The remaining people were cunning and powerful martial artists like the Blackhawk Gang.

He planned to harvest all of them, and every bit of strength he could increase was important to deal with the unexpected that might happen in the future.

This time, with the city lord’s mansion as the initiator and the approval of the heads of various martial arts dojos, 60 to 70% of the martial artists in Pingnan City had come out, if not all.

He was really like a wild horse that had escaped its reins. If it was a few days later, there might really be no bandits around the city.

“The delivery will be the day after tomorrow. Little girl, are you going?” Luo Huatian looked at Luo Ya, who was putting food into Qin Huai’s bowl.

Luo Ya shook her head like a rattle. “No, I’m not going. Previously, I almost harmed Senior Brother.”

She had already developed a psychological trauma towards being an escort. He and his senior brother could do anything, but they couldn’t go on an escort mission. She was afraid of harming Qin Huai.

“Just leave this matter to me.” Qin Huai smiled to ease Luo Ya’s mood.

After dinner, he put on his clothes and went out.

“Huai’er, where are you going?” Yu Xin was puzzled.

“I’m going to walk along the hills on both sides of the town and scout out a spot first.” Qin Huai was cautious.

If he encountered mountain bandits while he was on the escort mission, he wouldn’t be afraid. However, even if only one guard of the Luo manor died, Qin Huai would still feel that it was a loss.

It was better to strike first and sweep the mountain first. Safety was the most important thing when it came to escorting.

…

Hisss~

In the dark, the python’s eyes were shining with an oily green light. He stared at the person who was walking quickly not far away.

It wriggled its huge body and quickly crawled behind the man.

Suddenly, the man turned his head abruptly, a green light flashing in his eyes.

The python was stunned. The next second, he quickly left into the distance.

Qin Huai retracted his gaze. With his spiritual eye, he could easily familiarize himself with the terrain even at night.

He moved at an extremely fast speed, his eyes searching for the surrounding terrain to imprint in his mind.

As for the possible traces of mountain bandits, Qin Huai’s search was very organized. This was because when setting up camp in the deep mountains, they had to avoid the open high ground, as it was easy to be struck by lightning.

Also, it was easy to be hit by falling rocks under the cliff. When looking for a waterside camp, they had to be more than two meters above the water line.

There was another eye-catching one. People who set up camp in the mountains would usually light fires at night, which had a certain effect of repelling wild beasts.

But more importantly, it was to drive away the dense mosquitoes so that they could have a quiet dream at night. When it came to mosquitoes, even warriors were helpless.

The buzzing flies couldn’t be shut up just by having a strong vitality. Those things were like the small monsters in the game. After killing one batch, the next batch would respawn, and there was no end to killing them all.

Therefore, people would usually put the torch five or six meters away from the tent, because the fire would attract the surrounding mosquitoes.

Qin Huai’s movements were also regular, and the wind was always in front of him. It was convenient for him to remove the poison in advance and avoid waste.

He climbed over several mountains and finally saw a fire halfway up the mountain.

There were only two figures sitting by the bonfire. However, they were abnormally tall, almost taller than some women when they were standing.

They seemed to be holding someone in their hands, and the two heads suddenly stuck together, twisting left and right…

“A couple in the mountains?” Qin Huai was about to turn around when he suddenly froze.

In his line of sight, the shadows of the two human heads were slightly passive as they gnawed at each other… It seemed to be missing a portion!

Qin Huai quietly took two steps forward and immediately frowned. “The two tall figures were actually gnawing on the corpse?”

In addition, there were several corpses on the ground. The strong smell of blood rushed into Qin Huai’s nose.

He walked in quietly, and poisonous mist kept falling from his sleeve. It followed the wind and the white dragon qi that Qin Huai had activated, drifting toward the two figures.

Hu!

Suddenly, a black shadow came crashing toward him.

“Who’s there?” The two of them stood up and ran toward Qin Huai.

Qin Huai turned sideways and dodged the sudden attack. With a glance, he discovered that the hidden weapon was a human hand.

Bang! Bang!

The hand smashed into the tree and was directly embedded in it.

‘They’re strong.’ Qin Huai looked in front of him. These two people were also unusually sharp.

He had activated his breath control technique and was still discovered by them. They either had a spying technique or had a high cultivation realm or higher eyesight.

In short, these two people were difficult to deal with.

Qin Huai stood still, the poisonous fog in his sleeve pouring out even more. Aphrodisiacs, hell dance, heart-softening powder…

Very quickly, the two man-eating people were only a few meters away from Qin Huai. They were indeed very tall. The other one was a little hunchbacked, but he was also about 2.5 meters tall.

“Was this a human?” Qin Huai muttered in his heart.

He was wearing a long robe that covered his thousand-refined armor and poison. His face was still covered, and two antidotes that he had refined were pressed under his tongue.

There was also a poisonous dagger hidden in his sleeve, so it was a little heavy. His sleeve was always hanging down and facing the ground, so only his fingertips could be seen.

A mountain breeze blew, making Qin Huai look like a giant bat with wings spread out, standing in the forest.

“Hmph~ Ah~!” The black-robed man took a deep breath. “What a fresh smell.”

“This person’s taste is just right. He’s not a bad martial artist.” The hunchbacked man rubbed his hands and sized up Qin Huai. “His qi and blood are very strong. He must be from the eight major martial arts centers.”

Qin Huai didn’t say anything. He also carefully sized up the two of them.

The black-robed man’s skin looked even fairer and smoother than Auntie Yu Xin’s. These two men actually had six fingers, and each finger had four joints. When they moved, they looked like long wriggling worms.

‘What kind of monster is this?’ Qin Huai looked at the unfamiliar ‘species’ in front of him and became calmer. The dosage also increased.

These two people were dressed quite well. They were made of the most expensive material in Pingnan City, so they shouldn’t be mountain bandits. They were probably weirdos from the county city, right?

“I didn’t mean to offend you. Please forgive me for disturbing you.” Qin Huai showed his weakness and wanted to wait for the medicine to take effect before making a decision.

“Well said, well said. Put down all your valuables, and you can leave.” The black-robed man chuckled, his face friendly.

Qin Huai quickly searched his sleeve and took out two hundred taels of silver. “I only brought this much when I went out.”

He then placed the silver notes on the ground and turned to leave.

Hu!

Suddenly, the sound of something breaking through the air exploded in the deep forest.

Qin Huai jumped away from his original spot. Where he had been standing was a piece of sharp finger bone with traces of blood and flesh hanging from it.

Not far away, the black-robed man pulled off the robe that was nailed to the tree by the dagger.

The hunchback was a little unfortunate. He gritted his teeth and pulled out the dagger from his shoulder.

The hunchbacked man lowered his head and saw that black blood was flowing out of the wound. He quickly threw the dagger in his hand to the ground.

“It’s just a small poison,” he sneered. He activated his cultivation technique in an attempt to suppress the poison with his vigorous qi and blood.

But two seconds later, he hurriedly took out a dagger from his pocket and dug out the whole piece of meat that had been corroded by the poison.

The two of them looked at each other, and the smiles on their faces froze.

‘This kid is so cunning.’
