My Two-sided Cultivation: Starting From Collecting Experiences

86 Waiting for the Fish to Take the Bait

“Senior Brother, you know I don’t really practice martial arts… You’re buying medicine like this… I’m afraid I can’t take it,” Luo Ya whispered like a mosquito.

It was a pity that she spoke so softly that even Qin Huai, who was close to her, couldn’t hear him clearly.

“Young Master, we have a doctor here who has been praised by the county governor. He can help you solve your problems,” the shopkeeper spoke tactfully.

“No need. Just do as I say.” Qin Huai waved his hand. He naturally wouldn’t explain this to the middle-aged man.

Seeing that Qin Huai was unyielding, the shopkeeper could not say anything more. He obediently let them get the medicine.

Qin Huai looked at the large bags of medicinal herbs and nodded in satisfaction. He was very satisfied with this medicine shop, so he asked again, “Do you have a nine-petal snow lotus?”

“Yes, but the nine-petal snow lotus is a little expensive. One costs a hundred silver taels.” The shopkeeper laughed. The pile on the ground was only a hundred taels.

“Give me two catties…” Qin Huai waved his hand, then corrected himself, “No, three catties.”

“Three… Three catties?” The shopkeeper was stunned.

“Didn’t you hear clearly?” Qin Huai frowned slightly.

“It’s not that, Young Master. We’ve always sold them by the plant, never by the catty…”

“Oh, is that so? I’ll just buy from another shop then.” Qin Huai didn’t want to waste any more time.

“Good Lord! Please wait a moment!”

When the shopkeeper saw Qin Huai’s wealth and imposing manner, he seemed to be filled with power as well. The years of spinal disease seemed to have improved a lot as he shouted to the back, “Prepare three catties of nine-petal snow lotus!

When Qin Huai left, Sun Ji apothecary rented three carriages for him out of their own pocket. Two of them were used to load the herbs, while the other one was used to transport people.

However, the price was not small. Qin Huai had swept away five thousand taels of silver this time.

Half of them cultivated the blood heart technique, while the other half were poisonous.

He had not been able to make up for the deficit in his foundation from the last battle with the Sacred Heart disciples. This time, he might as well make up for it. After all, he couldn’t keep taking advantage of his master.

His master was now seriously injured, and he needed a foundation to hold up the scene.

After Qin Huai returned to the Luo manor, he followed the method of cultivating the blood heart technique in his ‘memory.’

He mixed all the tonics he had bought according to the proportion. Then, he used the blood heart technique to absorb and refine all of the medicine in his stomach according to a specific circulation method.

The blood heart technique also increased from level 10, 31/2000. Eventually, he advanced three levels and reached level 13, 122/2000.

“It’s really expensive.”

Qin Huai watched as 2,500 taels of silver flowed out like water. In the end, it only rose by three levels.

He couldn’t help but feel a little heartache. He now knew why the Sacred Heart sect’s disciples had chosen to take an unconventional path.

The path of evil had been developed. According to this kind of cultivation method, who would be able to stand it?

Even if he spent all 26,000 taels of silver, he would only be able to raise the blood heart technique to 30 levels.

Because according to the practice of cultivation, after every ten levels, the cost of cultivation would at least double. This was the case for experience and medicine.

Moreover, this was only the third refinement.

“What an outrageous cultivation technique…” Qin Huai couldn’t help shaking his head.

However, when he felt the golden blood in his dantian increase by a fraction, he felt that it was worth it.

Right now, the golden blood was able to heal injuries and fill up the gap in the white dragon’s body. If he were to cultivate to a higher realm, would he be able to reach a level where he could bring the dead back to life?

“I hope so.”

Qin Huai shook his head and began to concoct the poison. He was busy all the way until late at night before he fell asleep.

…

That night, Luo Ya did not sleep all night.

The reason she couldn’t sleep was that she had seen Qin Huai take all the nourishing medicine with her own eyes.

However, he did not enter her room at night.

The next morning, that senior brother left the Luo manor with light steps.

…

Winter came as expected.

The frost and snow were like soft hidden blades. It landed on his body silently, shocking everyone.

It was as if the world had turned white overnight.

Because Hu Jinghai was stationed at the foot of the mountain, Qin Huai would enter the camp every day to collect experience.

It was a big camp with five hundred people, but unfortunately, most of them could only provide Qin Huai with a little experience.

Fortunately, there were still some officers, sergeants, and captains… The four-directional tiger-wolf technique gave him 1,000 experience points every day.

The long breath technique and the rumbling thunder skill had been steadily improving.

However, in the past few days, there have been no major breakthroughs in these three cultivation techniques. On the contrary, under Qin Huai’s inhumane attacks, the blood heart technique was progressing rapidly.

He quickly broke through the 20th and 30th levels, until he reached level 31, 3102/4000.

Also, the golden blood on the lightning ball in his body had also grown from the size of a green bean to the size of a black bean.

Although his body size didn’t increase much, the recovery speed of the white dragons had been increased to one per hour.

“The only thing that can limit my recovery speed is silver…”

Qin Huai climbed the mountain and took a medicinal bath. Apart from him and his Senior Brother Qi Yangbing, his master Sun Yuanshan was also in the medicinal bath.

The three of them lay in a row in the wooden bucket in the open air of the Changshan ancestral house, looking up at the sky in the rising fog.

The injuries caused by Bai Bashan and the others had not fully healed yet, but Sun Yuanshan’s white dragons had all recovered, so it would not be a problem for him to deal with a sixth refinement martial artist.

“Did the fish take the bait?” Sun Yuanshan asked.

“No, he seems to be very calm,” Qin Huai replied.

He had openly burned the Sacred Heart sect’s manuals and deliberately bought the medicinal herbs needed for the blood heart technique’s cultivation method in order to lure the mastermind behind the scenes, the Sacred Heart follower who manipulated Li Bowu.

As for the other party’s strength, the city lord had sent a letter long ago. The news from the county city said that the Sacred Heart sect was very strict when it came to dispatching people to each city, county, and state.

In a small city like Pingnan, it was usually filled with Sacred Heart disciples of white and blue hearts, who did not exceed the sixth refinement.

If one’s realm was too high, it would lead to a waste of human resources. Most importantly, there were no stronger martial artists in Pingnan, a barren land with the Sacred Heart sect’s influence.

“But he should be showing his face soon,” Qin Huai muttered. “Recently, the hundreds of fiends and demons that Fenshan City had missed have been appearing frequently sixty miles away from Pingnan City.

“The martial artists of our eight martial arts centers must go out of the city to exterminate the monsters… That guy won’t let go of this opportunity.

“Anyway, my disciple’s tiger battalion, the city lord’s two commanders, and you, Master, will take turns to keep an eye on him. The moment that Sacred Heart believer shows his face, it will be his death.”

Qin Huai had already set up everything and was only waiting for the fish to take the bait.
