My Two-sided Cultivation: Starting From Collecting Experiences - Chapter 318

318 The Fox Tail Has Been Exposed
Qin Huai’s nine dragons true qi technique slowed down only when it reached 85%.

“If you want to break through to the fourth-level bone pattern realm, you have to kill more people.” Qin Huai’s eyes were cold and sharp.

Most of his cultivation time was spent on the qi confinement technique. As for the remaining power of the dark water technique and the broken axe, Qin Huai stacked them on top of the ancient azure illusion force.

After everything was done, three days had passed.

On the bed that emitted the fragrance of flowers, afterimages appeared around Qin Huai, who was sitting cross-legged. He opened his eyes abruptly. His footsteps suddenly lightened, and as he moved sideways, a complete afterimage appeared behind him.

!!
He walked into the courtyard and increased his speed again, activating the ancient azure illusion force. The afterimages behind him became even clearer.

“No, I still lack a cultivation technique as a foundation. Just relying on power alone won’t be able to display the power of the ancient azure illusion force.”

Qin Huai threw a punch in front of him, activating the ancient azure illusion force. It seemed as if three punches had been thrown out in an instant, and afterimages appeared in front of him.

“The current ancient azure illusion force can only create such a confusing effect,” Qin Huai said, slowly withdrawing his fist.
The strange scene of Hua Yanli disappearing into thin air in front of him flashed through his mind. These few days, Qin Huai had been feeling uneasy because of this. Was it a demon, or was there some great terror hidden in Qingzhou?

A genius with five full patterns and king’s force had disappeared in an instant. With his strength, if he was targeted, wouldn’t it be impossible for him to escape? This made Qin Huai even more uneasy.

He walked out of the courtyard and saw two young faces standing at the door.

“Greetings, Fifth Master!” The two of them cupped their fists and spoke loudly.

Qin Huai nodded at them. In less than three days, Yang Erbao had used all his skills to recruit a group of followers for Qin Huai. “Where’s Yang Erbao?” he asked.

“Second Brother is at the pharmacy. I’ll lead the way for Fifth Master!” The lackey was very attentive, leading Qin Huai to the so-called pharmacy.

The pharmacy was located at the outermost part of the Blood Poison Gang’s territory, situated in the wilderness, similar to the location of the Broken Axe Gang. The three-story-high earth castle occupied more than ten acres of land.

As soon as they entered the castle, Qin Huai could hear the miserable wails coming from within. He followed the lackey up to the third floor.

The interior of the earth castle was a hollow pavilion, surrounded by a circular corridor. The first floor was completely sealed off, encircled by a thick earth wall.

On the second floor, there were numerous prison-like cages, holding all kinds of youths, women, and the elderly. Their faces were either ashen, green, or purple, or there were blisters on their bodies. They gazed out of the cage in a daze, with no one around to attend to them. Only the three levels connected would have a basket hanging down to the side of the cage to deliver the daily food.

Observing all these, Qin Huai remained calm and walked to the third floor.

His expression suddenly changed, and he kicked the first-level bone pattern realm expert to the ground. The latter gritted his teeth and did not dare to say anything. “Yes, Second Brother is right!” He got up and nodded obsequiously, doing as Yang Erbao said.

“Brother Yang.”

Qin Huai’s voice rang in his ears, and Yang Erbao suddenly quivered. “Fifth Master!” He rubbed his hands humbly and bowed as he looked at Qin Huai.

“How’s the matter I instructed you to do?” Qin Huai looked at Yang Erbao, a murderous look flashing in his eyes. This guy used his name to intimidate the Blood Poison Gang and bullied countless people.

He had just been his trusted aide for two days, and the fox’s tail had already been exposed. This kind of person, Qin Huai would definitely not let him live, but not now.

In the Blood Poison Gang, killing Yang Erbao would not be enough to kill a second or a third. Only by eliminating the entire Blood Poison Gang could the tragedy in the earth castle be reduced. As for his reputation in the Blood Poison Gang, Qin Huai didn’t care at all.

“That Hua Yanli is a prodigy of the Thunderbolt Gang, one of the four major gangs in the outer city. He’s an existence on par with Fourth Master…”

“Get to the point!”

Yang Erbao was stunned and immediately said, “Hua Yanli is indeed missing. As for why he disappeared, where he went, and who he was related to, I don’t know.” Yang Erbao shook his head. “However, every few years, some top-notch geniuses will mysteriously disappear inside and outside the city. It has already been decades…

“My guess is that they were too arrogant and were secretly killed by those important figures at the visceral prefecture realm. You also know that there are as many experts as there are clouds in Qingzhou City… Even if these top-notch geniuses were monstrous, they were not a match for those visceral prefecture realm experts.” Yang Erbao made a bold guess.

Qin Huai only heard the first half of the sentence. Every few years, some prodigies would mysteriously disappear in Qingzhou City…

Qin Huai recalled the scene he had witnessed with his own eyes that night. He couldn’t help but feel his hair stand on end. The demon incident had only been going on for a few months, even if he had been secretly committing crimes for a year or a few years at most. However, mysterious disappearances had been happening for decades. This meant that this matter definitely had nothing to do with the demon.

“What exactly is it…” Qin Huai muttered. Then, he patted Yang Erbao’s shoulder and said coldly, “Help me find some ways to buy affordable power stones.”

“Understood!”

Yang Erbao didn’t hesitate at all. It was definitely the right choice to agree to Qin Huai’s request first. After all, he was the fifth foster son of the leader of the Blood Poison Gang.

After Qin Huai finished giving his instructions, he quickly left the earth castle.
