My Two-sided Cultivation: Starting From Collecting Experiences - Chapter 41

41 Caught a Turtle in a Jar

The cold wind howled, accompanied by the rustling of the unique iron plants of the White Flow Mine.

It was as if Qin Huai was in the middle of a battlefield, and goosebumps rose all over his body as he followed Gao Leya into the cramped mine. The latter was carrying a lamp and a rough hand-drawn map from the dojo. He frowned and carefully moved forward.

After walking for a mile, Gao Leya finally spoke, “Senior Brother Qin, this place is close to the side of the Thunderbolt Dojo. It might be dangerous to cross the middle line.”

“Wealth comes from danger. It’s fine.” Qin Huai pricked up his ears and listened to the sounds. He also activated his spirit eye technique, and his qi and blood surged into his eyes as he looked around.

!!
“If I encounter any danger, Junior Apprentice Brother, you have to protect me.” Gao Leya was nervous, and he had always wanted to chat with Qin Huai.

However, Qin Huai was indifferent. “Don’t talk so much, Senior Brother. You might attract the attention of the people from the Thunderbolt Dojo.”

“Yes, yes, yes. Talk less, talk less…” Gao Leya nodded repeatedly, looked at the map, and continued to walk in silence.

It was true that the map belonged to the dojo, but it did not belong to the Changshan Dojo. It was given to him by Hong San of the Thunderbolt Dojo.

On the map, a unique stone powder was used to mark the slaughterhouse of the ‘pig slaughtering plan.’ It was a very small mining room, and Hong San and his men had long been waiting inside.

As soon as Qin Huai entered, they would swarm forward. The narrow space would not give Qin Huai any room to move or dodge. He would be stabbed to death in an instant.

As for the so-called one-on-one fight, to prove who was the strongest second refinement martial artist, Hong San wasn’t an idiot who only used his muscles to think. He would directly get rid of Qin Huai. He was still the strongest in the second refinement, so he didn’t need to prove anything.

“Only by following such a person who is both intelligent and brave will you have a bright future,” Gao Leya thought to himself. However, he did not realize that Qin Huai, who was behind him, had been staring at the map in his hand.

Following his finger, he saw the unique mark that Hong San had made. They probably used silverwater grass, ground into a powder that can be mixed with paper and ink. It was brown with a slight tinge of white and had the smell of raw potatoes.

A phrase flashed across Qin Huai’s mind. These were all things from the high-level medicinal techniques. To be precise, the characteristics of silverwater grass were already in the mid-level medicinal techniques.

Hong San’s display of this small amount in front of him was like showing off a big knife. When Qin Huai saw the map, he instantly understood Hong San’s plan.

Soon, the two of them arrived at a place not far from the ambush circle.

“Junior Brother Qin, it’s that opening in front.” Gao Leya deliberately raised his voice.

But the next second, his mouth was suddenly covered, and a piece of iron pierced his throat.

Gao Leya’s eyes widened as he looked at that calm face. He had a thousand words in his heart, but he could not say them out loud. He could only feel his body being slowly lowered to the ground and watched as Qin Huai silently put on a mask.

Qin Huai began to unload his things. The autumn and winter wind whistled like an ice blade, pouring into the mine through an unknown hole.

Qin Huai stretched out his hand to feel the wind. It was just nice. Next, he poured the things he had prepared into that ‘pocket.’ With the right time and place, his own people were also ready.

Of course, he was not stingy. He opened up half of the bone-softening powder prepared by his master, the iron poison powder, spicy powder, and lime powder on the ground and scattered them toward the entrance of the cave.

But he didn’t dare to pour it all out. Although he had chosen poisons that were almost colorless and tasteless, too much would still have a strange smell. He could only do it step by step.

The ‘pocket’ was pitch black. If one could see it, white, gray, and red powder were pouring into the cave like a wave.

‘Strange, what the hell is Gao Leya doing? Why isn’t he coming in?’ Hong San frowned and was puzzled.

It had been at least twenty breaths since he had heard Gao Leya’s hint. What was he dawdling for? Could it be that he found his conscience and went back on his words?

Hong San instantly swept away this thought. He was a good judge of character. Gao Leya definitely had a conscience, but it was definitely not much. The price he offered was enough for him to be determined to walk this path to the end.

“Hmph, hmph…” Hong San suddenly sniffed hard. The air was as cold as a knife before, but why was there a burning smell now?

No, he had to wait. If he went out rashly at this moment, Qin Huai would notice, and today’s plan would be in vain. He would also lose Gao Leya, the chess piece.

One second, two seconds…

The uneasiness in Hong San’s heart grew heavier and heavier. His legs were a little numb from squatting.

Wait…

Something’s wrong! Something’s definitely wrong! If Gao Leya was at the door, why didn’t he continue to talk?

In an instant, Hong San immediately stood up. “Light up! Kill our way out!”

Hulalala~

Out of the seven people in the cave, four of them stood up in an instant, while the other three fell to the ground with a thud.

It was obvious that their qi and blood were not strong enough, so they could not withstand the long period of soaking in Qin Huai’s various poisons.

“It’s poison!”

The four of them were shocked and quickly rushed out of the narrow cave. However, the hole was only as wide as three people, and only two people could rush out at a time.

The two first refinement martial artists ran quickly with a gas lamp in their left hands. However, the moment he reached the entrance, he saw a pair of cold eyes.

Qin Huai took a deep breath. The next moment, three white dragons burst out of his body!

With the help of the cold wind, the three white dragons were like fish in water. His fists were like heavy cannons, and his attacks were like rolling thunder.

Boom!

Qin Huai threw out a punch. If there were outsiders present, they would not be able to tell which of the two sides was the proud disciple of the Thunderbolt Dojo.

Bang! Bang!

Just as the two martial artists saw Qin Huai’s face clearly, they were sent flying by the white dragon heavy fist.

Qin Huai’s sudden burst of wind blew out the coal lamp. At the same time, blood splattered in the air, but no one could see this scene.

When Hong San heard the muffled sounds of the two people falling to the ground, his mood took a turn for the worse.

“Qin Huai! Everything that happened before was caused by the grudges between the two big dojos. I personally admire you, but how about we stop here? As the saying goes, out of blows, friendship grows. Let’s just treat it as being friends!” Hong San roared.

At this moment, he was dark and deeply poisoned. If he went out rashly, something might happen. The situation was too disadvantageous for them.

Outside the cave, Qin Huai continued to take out the poisonous substances from his body. He untied them, scattered them, and quickly sent them into the cave with his white dragon power.

In response to Hong San’s shout, Qin Huai pretended not to hear him.

One breath, two breaths…

‘This grandson!’ Hong San cursed in his heart. This Qin Huai didn’t even say a word?

“If you kill us, you won’t have a good time in the future. My master is Old Qin the sixth, an important figure who has refined his blood four times. I believe your senior brothers must have told you about his ruthlessness.

“If you kill me, with my master’s personality, he will definitely chase you to the ends of the earth. Even if you hide inside your dojo all day, won’t you care about your woman and her family?” Hong San started to threaten. “Let me go, and I swear to the heavens that I will never trouble you again after I leave this place!”

Hong San sat cross-legged on the ground and began to channel his energy in an attempt to reduce the poison in his body.

Meanwhile, Qin Huai, who was outside the cave, just continued to scatter all the poisonous substances in his body and sent them out with the White Dragon.

In his vision, the powder in the cave had almost solidified.
