Chapter 34

PS: Brothers, how far have you practiced your voting skills? We are quite far behind the top 30, let's push harder!

——————

"Little Junior Brother, how many levels have you practiced the Stone Skin Jade Muscle Technique to?"

"Master said I'm at the initial stage of the fifth level."

"Damn!" Qin Yu was still lingering at the second level, never expecting this little junior brother to be almost at the end.

Thinking about it, without such a powerful external foundation, how could he move hard bows and draw strong arrows?

Qin Yu knew that although Zhang Ren had joined the master's door before him, the master disdained his poor family background and used the excuse of his younger age to not let him be his senior brother, which made him feel quite wronged.

However, even if calculated to the fullest, the little junior brother had only been under the master's tutelage for a little over two years. How could he have progressed so quickly?

"Almost to the top!" Zhang Xun had said that the Stone Skin Jade Muscle Technique only had five levels because it was a basic external technique!

"Yes, so the master finally passed on the Stone Gan Dang Heart Method to me." Zhang Ren said honestly.

"When you went to deliver... that leather coat?"

Zhang Ren nodded.

Qin Yu pouted, the old man was so stingy and biased! He definitely didn't plan to pass on the true skills, but fortunately, the little junior brother had deep good fortune, always thinking of the master, and accidentally moved the old man.

"Next time the senior brother asks you, it's best not to tell him."

"Yes, Second Senior Brother. But, um... the senior brother has been practicing for a long time..."

"The senior brother has been practicing for a long time? Practicing what for a long time?" Qin Yu asked, suddenly understanding, he stuck out his tongue and spread his hands, "Forget what I just said. But don't tell anyone else."

"Yes, Master instructed me to only recognize Second Senior Brother and to aim to become a general in the future."

"Right!" Qin Yu nodded, "Absolutely, Little Junior Brother, you are born to be a great general!"

Zhang Ren grinned, laughing.

"Master said that when your foundation is strong enough, I should also tell you the Stone Gan Dang Heart Method."

Wow! The old man is not bad!

Qin Yu felt a warmth in his heart, thinking about the old man, who knows how he is now.

He went alone to Hanzhong to avenge, which didn't seem very reliable. Although he was a master of the Transformation Realm, Zhang Lu had been in control of the Celestial Master Dao for many years. Not only was he skilled, but he was also surrounded by countless high-level believers and guards.

He would wait and build up his strength for two years before helping the master.

"Alright, let me see what good things you have in this bag?"

...

While Qin Yu and Zhang Ren were happily dividing the spoils.

In a remote mountain area, on a rugged path, a man was leading a horse, slowly walking in the darkness.

Suddenly, the man sneezed, then sneezed again. The lollipop in his mouth fell out, but fortunately, the old man caught it in mid-air and put it back in his mouth.

He stood suspiciously, looking around cautiously. His six senses confirmed that there was no one around.

"Strange! The old man actually caught a cold?" he mumbled, "Sigh! I wonder how my disciples are doing! Especially Xiao Yu, who always likes to go off the track and play tricks. I hope they have a smooth journey south and don't run into any trouble."

The man and the horse continued on their way.

...

In the secret room, Qin Yu sneezed twice.

"The other side of the kang is warm, Little Junior Brother, go to sleep first, I'll finish the last bit of qi and blood circulation."

Two small golden needles were still stuck in his stomach, and the qi and blood in his body had been suppressed for a long time.

He thought these sneezes might be related to this, but he didn't think it might be because someone close was thinking about him.

Zhang Ren was really tired, he crawled to the place his senior brother had designated and fell asleep immediately.

Being chased for several hours, even an iron man couldn't endure it. Of course, there were benefits. After this scare, his horse riding and archery skills had greatly improved.

Although he was still inferior to the northern experts in horse riding and archery, in Jingxiang and Jiangdong, if he did well, he could easily serve as a cavalry commander in a camp or a unit.

Qin Yu watched his junior brother fall asleep, feeling a bit drowsy himself, but he had no time to delay. Shi Huang would definitely return before dawn, and he had to open the two Ah Shi points in his navel by then.

Otherwise, the Wuling savages would be a hurdle he couldn't overcome.

The problem was, he could understand why Jin Wei had developed a strange "resentment" towards him. A frustrated middle-aged man, with a seriously unhealthy mind, harboring jealousy towards the world's most handsome young man, was understandable.

But why did the others, like Deng Qianwan and Lady Deng, also join in the nonsense?

According to Xi Zhilan's explanation, the Wuling side didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards him; they genuinely wanted to save him from Shi Huang.

However, Xi Zhilan was only a backup plan for Tang Nanzhu's rescue operation. Their employment relationship was straightforward, and since Tang Nanzhu had failed and almost died at the hands of Shi Huang, he couldn't demand that Xi Zhilan fulfill her promise. Their cooperation had automatically terminated at that point.

So, Xi Zhilan didn't fully understand the specific situation and couldn't explain what they were really up to.

This uncertainty was very distressing.

The Wuling savages began to show their terrifying side. Deng Qianwan, Lady Deng, Zeng Yinyin, Zeng Xiaodie, Tang Nanzhu, and Jin Wei, as far as Qin Yu knew, there were now six Dark Realm experts from the Wuling side who had appeared.

Of course, their main target was Shi Huang.

But now, it seemed he had a deep grudge with Jin Wei, who had the idea of capturing him through Zhang Ren. There was no guarantee that he wouldn't use other vicious means.

Fortunately, they were not a tightly organized group, and at least Xiaodie didn't agree with their actions.

Otherwise...

Qin Yu looked at the sleeping Zhang Ren and shook his head.

Dark Realm! He must become a Dark Realm expert!

...

At the third watch, Shi Huang quietly returned to the small village and sneaked into the village chief's courtyard.

He didn't enter Qin Yu's room but stood at a distance, listening to Qin Yu's breathing.

"Hmm?" He was somewhat surprised. There was another person in the room, sleeping soundly, with a weaker aura. He didn't care who it was, but why was Qin Yu's qi and blood so normal?

This was not normal.

Under normal circumstances, Qin Yu should be at the critical point of breaking through the Ah Shi points. He hadn't even dared to make a loud noise, for fear of disturbing Qin Yu's concentration.

There was a light sound, and Qin Yu pushed open the door.

"Old man, what are you doing out in the cold? Come in and warm up!"

Shi Huang glanced sideways, then followed him into the room, grabbing Qin Yu's left wrist with his hand.

Qin Yu raised his right hand, with two golden needles in his fingers: "Don't take my pulse, I've already fully opened them."

Shi Huang didn't believe it, carefully feeling his pulse for a long time, and it was indeed... all the points required for the Dark Realm were open.

"Open?" Shi Huang let go of Qin Yu's hand, stunned, his eyes somewhat blank.

"Didn't the old man always praise my talent? You should have expected it, right?" Qin Yu said with a hint of sarcasm.

Shi Huang spat, "Why do I still feel you are at the Qi Ming Realm level?"

"Maybe I need a trigger, my current accumulation is not enough yet!"

Shi Huang thought for a moment and looked at the kang.

"Is this kid your little junior brother?"

"Yes, he is, Zhang Ren."

Shi Huang nodded, "I heard his name today. To be able to escape from those savages, he has some skills. Follow you and practice well, he might have a future."

"Definitely!" To be praised by Shi Huang, Qin Yu, as Zhang Ren's senior brother, felt very honored, but since Zhang Ren was sleeping, he didn't rush to wake him up to receive the praise.

"I have an appointment with Wang Yue for a duel tomorrow at the hour of Chen. It's clear that he wants to kill me this time!"
