Chapter 41

Qin Fengming looked at the young man in black, seeing that he had finally calmed down. Although he was very curious about the young man's actions just now, he knew that this was not something he could ask about directly. (www..com)

"This big brother, I am not a monk. I am originally a disciple of Luoxia Valley. I happened to pass by here just now and saw you fighting with this beast. Seeing that this little thing was about to hurt someone, I decided to intervene. Big brother, there's no need to thank me. It is the duty of a martial artist to help when they see injustice."

Hearing Qin Fengming's words, the young man in black was taken aback. Upon closer inspection, he saw that Qin Fengming was wearing a purple robe, recognizing it as the attire of an elite disciple of Luoxia Valley. After a moment of thought, he spoke again:

"Originally, I didn't know you were a disciple of Luoxia Valley. I apologize, I apologize."

As he spoke, he was inwardly quite surprised. The young man opposite him possessed spiritual energy, yet he seemed to have no knowledge of it.

Hearing the other's words, Qin Fengming was also somewhat surprised. The other seemed very familiar with Luoxia Valley.

Seeing Qin Fengming's surprised expression, the young man in black paused and then continued:

"I am acquainted with your sect leader, Sima Qingshan. I was originally going to Luoxia Valley to meet him, but I unexpectedly encountered this beast here, leading to the fight. If it weren't for your help, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

After saying this, he waved his hand, and a jade bottle appeared in his hand. He poured out a white pill, took it, and then tore a strip from his clothing to bandage his injured arm. The entire process was very smooth.

Qin Fengming watched from the side, extremely surprised. The injury he had just received was quite severe, but the other seemed to handle it with ease, as if it were nothing.

A moment later, the young man in black had finished dealing with his injuries. Qin Fengming was very impressed.

"Oh, since you are acquainted with Sect Leader Sima, you are not an outsider. Now that you have no other matters, I will take my leave." Qin Fengming felt a deep respect for the young man and did not want to stay with him for long.

"Wait a moment, little brother. I have a question for you. I wonder if you can answer it truthfully?" The young man in black saw that Qin Fengming wanted to leave and spoke to stop him.

"What do you want to ask? If I know, I will answer truthfully." Hearing this, Qin Fengming stopped. He knew the other's abilities; although he couldn't deal with the purple beast, he could easily handle Qin Fengming.

"Do you know from whom you learned the Ice Bullet technique? Can you answer truthfully?" The young man in black, seeing Qin Fengming's straightforward response, asked directly.

Hearing this, Qin Fengming was taken aback. "Ice Bullet technique," wasn't that just the method of using his internal energy as described in the small book?

This was something he had learned from the book, with no one teaching him. How did the young man in black know about it? But at this moment, Qin Fengming did not dare to lie. The other possessed divine techniques, which posed a significant threat to him.

After some thought, he honestly replied: "You mean the small ice balls I just used? This is due to my own internal energy, and no one has taught me."

At first, the young man in black looked puzzled, staring at Qin Fengming for a long time. Seeing his calm expression, he did not seem to be lying, so he changed the subject: "Ah, I see. Thank you for your help, little brother."

"No need to be polite. It is the duty of a martial artist. Big brother, the technique you used against the purple beast just now, was it divine magic? It was truly amazing."

"Do you know about divine magic?" The young man in black looked surprised. The other did not know about the Ice Bullet technique but knew about divine magic, indicating that he must have seen cultivators before.

"I have only heard about it, but I have never seen it with my own eyes. This is the first time I have seen it, and it is truly wondrous and awe-inspiring." Qin Fengming did not want to reveal that he had met someone with divine magic, so he said this.

"That was just a simple technique, nothing special." The young man in black, seeing that Qin Fengming did not want to say more, spoke indifferently.

"It's getting late. Since you have no other matters, I will return to Luoxia Valley. Big brother, let's part ways here, and we will meet again." Saying this, Qin Fengming turned and was about to leave.

The young man in black saw that Qin Fengming wanted to leave but showed no interest in the purple beast, which surprised him.

The purple beast was a first-stage demonic beast, and its teeth and claws were excellent materials for forging weapons. If sold in the market, they could fetch a considerable amount of spirit stones, a significant income for ordinary disciples like him.

Seeing Qin Fengming's behavior, he realized that Qin Fengming knew nothing about the cultivation world, otherwise, he would not act this way.

Thinking about this, he said: "Little brother, may I ask your name?"

"My name is Qin Fengming. If we have the chance, we will meet again." Qin Fengming finished speaking, bowed to the other, and then entered the dense forest.

"I will remember your kindness, Brother Qin. We will meet again."

Seeing Qin Fengming turn and disappear into the forest, the young man in black was stunned for a moment and then muttered to himself:

"This Qin Fengming is clearly at the third level of the Qi Gathering stage, yet he doesn't know what divine magic is. This is truly puzzling."

As he spoke, he shook his head. After a while, he walked over, picked up the purple beast's corpse, and with a flick of his hand, the corpse disappeared. He then sat cross-legged on the ground, holding a spirit stone in each hand, and began to recover his magical power.

Five days later, at the back of Caihua Peak, Qin Fengming was practicing sword techniques in the forest. Suddenly, something flew down from the sky, moving very quickly, and in a moment, it was in front of him.

The object looked like an enlarged circular shield. When the shield landed, three people walked down from it, and the shield instantly shrank and disappeared. Seeing this, Qin Fengming was both surprised and puzzled.

Fortunately, he recognized two of the three people.

The one in the middle wore a green robe, held a duster, and had a fair and ruddy complexion. He was none other than Sect Leader Sima Qingshan. The one in front looked to be around forty, with a slightly ruddy face and bright eyes, wearing a yellow robe. The last one was the young man in black whom Qin Fengming had met a few days ago in the depths of Luoxia Valley.

Although surprised, Qin Fengming quickly approached and bowed: "I did not know that Sect Leader Sima was here. I apologize for not welcoming you properly."

After speaking, he looked at the young man in black and smiled: "Big brother, how have you been? You indeed know Sect Leader Sima."

Hearing Qin Fengming's words, Sect Leader Sima did not seem surprised and laughed: "Qin Fengming, this is Master Feng. He is here because Brother Wang met you a few days ago and came specially for you."

As he spoke, his face was full of smiles, and his eyes were filled with admiration.
