Chapter 32 - 29 Everlasting Spring Technique i
Hehe, Im delighted to become friends with you. My name is Qin Niu, whats your name?
Qin Niu felt particularly happy to become friends with this holy, pure girl.
He never despised her for being mute.
She walked to the counter, took out paper and pen, and neatly wrote down two characters.
Bei Bing.
So your name is Bei Bing! This shop is actually named after you; it seems your grandfather really adores you! From now on we are good friends. Once 1 get a bit stronger, if you need help with anything, you can always find me. I live in Shuangfeng Village, Jade Stream Town; its quite easy to find. Theres a very imposing house in the village, but thats the neighbors. My house is made up of two very dilapidated mud huts.
Qin Niu told her his address.
Mmm!
She nodded vigorously again, then waved at Qin Niu, indicating for him to hurry out of the city.
If he was late, he wouldnt be able to leave the city.
Goodbye!
Having gained a friendship, Qin Niu felt especially cheerful.
The low-grade talisman she had given him made his heart feel warmly content.
In this life, people need friendship, kinship, love thats what makes a complete life.
This trip could be considered a fulfillment of all his wishes; he had managed to buy all the cultivation materials he wanted.
When he passed a roasted chicken shop, Qin Niu spent three wen money to buy a large roasted chicken leg, asking the shopkeeper to wrap it in greased paper. After carefully receiving it, he tucked it close to his chest and hurried out of the city.
He left the city just in time.
Any later, and he would have had to wait until the next morning to leave.
Thats because the soldiers guarding the city had already started to clear the caltrops placed at the city gates.
No sooner had Qin Niu left the city than he saw the soldiers on the city walls start to pull the chains, hoisting up the drawbridge.
The design of the city gates was very clever.
The drawbridge pulled up over the moat was precisely like two temporary city walls, forming a double protection with the gate behind it.
But generally, no one would dare to attack the city.
Unless the surrounding forces wanted to swallow the Black Tiger Gangs territory, that would be the only possibility of a war breaking out.
However, such situations are rare.
For a gang of Black Tiger Gangs size, once a war commences, it inevitably results in rivers of blood and countless masters dying.
While there would be some casualties among the common people, it was mainly the gangs masters who perished.
Unless there was certainty of victory, no gang would risk a war where both sides would suffer heavy losses. At most, they would nibble away at each others borders, engaging in minor skirmishes.
The cost and risk of a full-scale war were too high; all the major powers dealt with it very cautiously.
After leaving the city, he lengthened his stride, heading in the direction of his home.
When he first left the city, he could still see many pedestrians on the road, but each one was in a hurry.
After walking a few miles, the number of pedestrians on the road dwindled.
The sky gradually darkened as well.
He quickened his pace.
If he had a horse, or a pet beast that could carry people, it would have been much more convenient.
With his own two feet, he would need about two and a half hours to travel fifty li, which is equivalent to five hours.
And that was because his cultivation had improved.
Based on his previous stamina, it would take seven hours to reach home.
The journey was uneventful.
By the time he returned to Shuangfeng Village, it was deep into the night and the whole village was quiet.
Only when he neared someone elses house could he hear the whisper of conversation or sometimes the moaning of a woman.
In this world, without the internet, television, novels, or short videos entertainment options were extremely limited. It made sense that many villagers would have five or six children, even more.
Because there really was nothing to do at night.
The young couple naturally worked hard at creating children.
If they could have several more boys, they could help with the farm work as they grew a little older.
Qin Niu didnt disturb anyone and quietly returned to his own dilapidated mud house.
Before entering, he cautiously squatted down to check the withered branches laid out on the ground.
These were the traps he had set.
No one had visited.
He unlocked the brass lock, pushed the door open, and walked into the house.
A golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as ones own dog nest; no matter how good the outside world is, its not as good as ones own home.
After closing the door, he first hid the Treasured Sword under the bedding.
With this great weapon, he could significantly improve his chances of survival, whether in the mountains or facing enemies like Wang Haikun.
Dont look at how he always acted meekly in front of Wang Haikuntruly provoked, hed make sure the other person knew what a real tough guy was just before dying.
Daring to kill wolves and slaughter bears, he was just as willing to kill people.
He securely kept the wooden box containing low-level Talismans close to his body. The two Cultivation Techniques were also carried close to his person.
Currently, his Termite was still weak, and he had no other pets to help guard the house. Cultivation Technique manuals were unsafe no matter where you hid them.
Carrying them with him was the safest option.
It also made it convenient for him to check and follow the manual for cultivation at any time.
The big chicken leg he had bought for Er Dan he didnt touch, but instead stored it in a jar. After all, the roasted leg was too fragrant, and the noses of mice are very sensitive; theyd surely come visiting if they smelled it.
He went to the backyard to take a piece of bear meat weighing about a pound and started a fire to cook.
This bear meat could also be eaten raw, but it was too tough to chew.
Eating raw meat and drinking blood was the way of life for primitive people; he still preferred cooked food.
Actually, this bear meat would taste even better roasted, but the scent was too strong, and he feared it would attract prying eyes. If it invited Wang Haikun, that god of plague over, it would be an unending struggle to the death.
While cooking the meat and corn kernels, he took out the scroll of the Everlasting Spring Technique manual he had purchased and started reading and learning.
For a country farmer like him, the ability to practice a Cultivation Technique was extremely fortunate.
Countless farmers never get the chance to practice in their lifetimes and can only hastily finish their short lives.
Cultivation is nothing but the three elements of Tao, Qi, and Spirit! Tao is formless, blending to become ones body, this is the Tao. The transformation from nothing to something, all arise from Qi; the division of Qi gives birth to heaven and earth
When reading the Everlasting Spring Technique, Qin Niu could feel that the authors understanding of cultivation had reached an extremely high realm.
The words spoken seemed especially profound.
If they didnt have a deep understanding of the three elementsTao, Qi, and Spiritit wouldnt be possible to speak from such a high perspective, overlooking the fundamental truths of cultivation.
Even, he suspected that the author had comprehended a trace of the great Tao.
At the very least, they had touched the threshold of the great Tao.
Being able to buy such a high-level Cultivation Technique among many, made him feel very joyful.
He also worried that without any cultivation foundation, he wouldnt understand the methods within.
Many sects, when teaching disciples, start them on the simplest and most basic techniques.
Only after reaching a certain level with some foundation, they slowly start to cultivate more profound techniques.
This Everlasting Spring Technique, to Qin Niu, felt like in terms of level, it probably wasnt inferior to the Dragon Chant Technique that the young noble bought for five thousand Silver Money.
Of course, the Appraiser of Supreme Sea wasnt a fool; placing this technique on the bottom shelf and pricing it at five Silver Money, there naturally was reason behind it.
As the saying goes, you get what you pay for, thin gruel doesnt keep one full.
To truly spend five Silver Money to buy a technique worth five thousand Silver Money, thats a fools dream.
Theres no chance for him to stumble upon such a huge bargain.
The Everlasting Spring Technique manual consisted of two realms.
The first realm is the comprehension of the way of nature. Once mastered, qi flows like silk, blood rushes like a river, and the body is constantly nourished as if by dew, brimming with vitality, significantly increasing ones lifespan..
