My Two-sided Cultivation: Starting From Collecting Experiences

52 The Master and Disciple Who Share the Same Sentiments!

“Senior Brother Qin, Gu He has left the Thunderbolt Dojo.” Sun Ziyao ran in a panic. Behind him was a group of martial artists from the same courtyard.

As a personal disciple, Qin Huai could mobilize a portion of the disciples in the dojo. And these nine people from the same courtyard were the main force within his scope of mobilization.

They were three second refinement and six first refinement. Li Zhang’s apprentices were also under Qin Huai’s control. If there were more people, they would have to find their master, Sun Yuanshan.

“You go and find out where Gu He is. I’ll go and find Senior Brother Fang Han,” Qin Huai instructed.

!!

“I sent someone to do it before I came. I might get a reply later.” Sun Ziyao was a little out of breath. He had just run to many places to gather manpower for Qin Huai. He thought that he could use it no matter what happened.

“Alright!”

Qin Huai found Fang Han on the drill ground. “Senior Brother, when a person has left the eight major martial arts centers, we don’t have to abide by the tacit understanding between them anymore, right? ”

“Well, you’re not thinking of quitting the dojo, are you?” Fang Han’s expression changed.

“It’s Gu He who has left with his trusted aides. There’s a high chance that he’s here to deal with me,” Qin Huai explained.

“Oh… If he retires, then the tacit agreement between the eight big martial arts centers will naturally not need to be followed. Anyway, what do you mean?” Fang Han asked.

“Since I’m no longer bound by the rules of the eight martial arts centers, I would like to ask you to help me, Senior Brother.” Qin Huai’s eyes were sincere. “Gu He left the dojo because he wanted to take off the shackles and take revenge on me without any scruples. In that case, why don’t I make the first move and get rid of him?”

Qin Huai’s voice was low. He never liked to be passive.

He had originally wanted to wait until after he had completed the third refinement before thinking of a way to kill him. Now, he had delivered himself to his door.

Besides, he had Fang Han and a few other martial brothers with superb martial arts skills, so it would be a waste not to use them.

This wasn’t the eighth martial competition. Since he could call for help to get rid of a big problem, he naturally wouldn’t be stingy.

“Junior Brother, you’re really smart. You have Master’s charm back in the day.” Fang Han couldn’t help but praise. If he had heard that his enemies were doing this, he would have thought of strengthening the defense of the Luo manor.

As for his junior brother… Instead, he wanted to eliminate the hidden danger from the source directly.

“Senior Brother, you’re too kind. Master must be more farsighted than I am.” Qin Huai hesitated for a moment. “I wonder if Senior Brother Qi and Senior Brother Rong are around?”

He didn’t know the two of them well, so he might need Fang Han to ask for their help.

“Unfortunately, Eldest Senior Brother and Yangbing left the city. The previous batch of goods from the city lord’s mansion was heavy, and Master was afraid that something would happen, so he asked the two of them to deliver it to the military camp outside the city.”

“Speaking of which, the city lord’s mansion has been playing dead for so many years. It’s about time for some commotion.” Fang Han sighed, feeling that things were getting more and more out of hand.

“What a pity. I remember Master didn’t go out, right?” Qin Huai suddenly thought of this great god.

“Master is still here, but I’m afraid he can’t go… As soon as Master leaves, Bai Bashan of the Thunderbolt Dojo will definitely catch a whiff of the fishy smell and follow us.” Fang Han shook his head.

“I’ll go ask.” Qin Huai pondered.

“Then, Junior Brother, I’ll have to trouble Senior Brother to come with me first. We’ll set off after Sun Ziyao and the others have found out where Gu He is.”

“Alright,” he said.

…

Qin Huai and Fang Han quickly climbed up the Chanshan ancestral house.

His master, Sun Yuanshan, was humming a Pingnan tune in the medicinal field, taking care of his herbs.

“Master…” Qin Huai explained his intention.

“No, this brat Bai Bashan is overbearing but smart. If I make a move, he’ll definitely follow. Think about the masters of our eight big martial arts centers. How many pairs of eyes are watching them? If I go, I’m afraid Gu He will hear the wind and run away the moment I step out.”

Sun Yuanshan was both regretful and pleased.

“But your idea is good. It’s more flexible and quick-witted, just like me when I was young.”

“Then, Master, can I borrow some medicine from the field?” Qin Huai looked at Sun Yuanshan.

“That’s not a problem.” Sun Yuanshan paused. “You’ve been thinking about my medicinal field since the beginning, haven’t you?”

“It’s just a spur-of-the-moment idea.” Qin Huai was determined.

Sun Yuanshan only smiled and shook his head. He immediately rolled up his sleeves and walked to the medicinal field with Qin Huai.

“If you want to defeat third refinement martial artists, ordinary poison is not effective.. Rough method of mixing won’t work either. Although some poisons have the same ingredients, there’s a slight deviation in the amount. Even if it’s just one point, the difference is like heaven and earth…”

Sun Yuanshan lectured.

“The modified bone-softening powder I gave you last time can still be used. Five maces of white bone root, three maces of long-haired scallion leaves, one pound of pig’s ear grass, six maces of mute flower… Lastly, I’ll just add a qian of three-heart grass.” Sun Yuanshan opened his mouth. He had already memorized these things by heart.

“Master, I have an immature suggestion,” Qin Huai piped up.

Sun Yuanshan raised his head and looked at Qin Huai with the herbs in his hand.

“Your modified bone-softening powder has an additional pound of three-heart grass, so the toxicity has changed from cartilage and brittle bones. I think there’s another approach to this. We can add more three-heart grass, remove the white bone root, and use the three-heart grass as the main body. After that, the toxicity will change from fragile bones to fragile hearts.

“When the enemy’s vitality is pushed to its peak, their fragile hearts will stop for a moment to save their lives. Their vitality will also temporarily decline, and they will not be able to exert their full strength. If he tries to force his qi and blood to its peak, his heart will definitely explode, and he will die,” Qin Huai spoke frankly.

He wasn’t making things up, but high-level medicinal techniques were being arranged in his mind. From the time he killed Hong San, he had been deducing the feasibility of various poisons.

“You brat.. Alright, let’s try that.” Sun Yuanshan was also very excited. He ran out of the field and caught a palm-sized rat not long after.

Qin Huai followed the recipe and mixed the medicinal herbs with the medicinal juice. Then, he dried it with fire and crushed it again. Once it was done, he carefully took a little and fed it to the quiet rat in Sun Yuanshan’s hand.

As soon as Sun Yuanshan let go, the dead rat instantly bounced up and rushed into the distance.

The master and disciple both looked on nervously.

Bang!

Within five meters, the rat’s speed dropped drastically. After another five meters, the rat trembled and took a few steps before falling to the ground.

“Sure enough! It works!”

Sun Yuanshan and Qin Huai were both excited. They dug up the rat’s body, but they couldn’t find any trace of the heart.

“Huai’er, you really bring surprises every day.” Cultivation talent, forging skills, and now a medicinal skill… Sun Yuanshan was very fond of this disciple.

...

“Although this poison only changed the amount of each medicinal ingredient, it’s already a completely different kind of poison. Since it affects the heart, let’s call it the heart-softening powder.”

Sun Yuanshan was very excited.

“I’ll give you a few more poisons I’ve kept hidden in the martial world when I was young. I’m sure they’ll work on Gu He.”

The master and disciple pair squatted in the medicinal field, picking one stalk here and one flower there. The former was still talking nonstop, occasionally bursting into exclamations.

Fang Han, who was watching from the side, had mixed feelings. This father and son were really stinky… What a kindred spirit.

Not long after, Qin Huai stood with a full load. His body was filled with poisonous substances.

It was different from the spicy powder that only pursued quantity and wasn’t poisonous. Right now, the poison on his body was carefully selected, and it could take down martial artists.

It was the fruit of the wisdom of the master and disciple.

Hundred crying powder, heart-softening powder, intestine-breaking bloating powder, five viscera qi-rising powder… That’s almost enough,” Sun Yuanshan muttered.

Qin Huai suddenly had an epiphany. “Oh! I also want a strong aphrodisiac. This thing is a perfect match for the heart-softening powder.”

“Right, right, right. How could I have forgotten about this treasure?” Sun Yuanshan took out a small bottle. “Uh… I made this for your eldest senior brother. I’ve asked a friend to try it, and it’s not a problem to do it nineteen times a night. It’ll definitely have a miraculous effect if it’s paired with heart-softening powder.”

...

Qin Huai was also very satisfied. The master and disciple had concocted combined poisons, and their power complemented each other.

Moreover, they were all powder-like poisonous substances, which could be used to drug or find opportunities to attack in battle.

Fang Han felt even more embarrassed as he watched from the side. “I think Junior Brother and Master will become a story to tell in Pingnan City in the future.”

“Master, I still have one more thing to ask. Can the three white dragons use the rising dragon to kill a third refinement martial artist?” Qin Huai asked.

“If it’s a surprise attack, it’s completely possible. The power of three rising dragons was definitely enough. It’s hard to say if it’s a direct confrontation since it’s all based on your combat intuition.” Sun Yuanshan was very cautious. After all, there were three white dragons in the second refinement, and Qin Huai was the first one.

“But with your Senior Brother Fang here, these things probably won’t be of any use. It should be left for the people behind.”

…

After some time, Qin Huai bade farewell to his master and went to Master Song with Fang Han to get his brand-new armor.

This time, in addition to the chain mail, there was also a heart-protecting mirror and waist armor, which could block attacks from both sides of the waist and abdomen.

After everything was ready and waiting for another two hours, Qin Huai finally got Gu He’s place of residence.

“Let’s go, Senior Brother Fang.” Qin Huai waved his hand. Behind him were Fang Han, Sun Ziyao, and a group of nineteen people—all martial artists.
