165 Searching in the Middle of the Night
“Ding! You have collected a [Nine Dragons True Qi Comprehension], [White Dragon Force] +1%.”
“Ding! You have collected an [Concealment of Spirit and Qi Essence] (Orange), [Concealment of Spirit and Qi] Experience +10,000!”
An ocean of memories poured into Qin Huai’s mind, and the concealment of spirit and qi, which was already on the verge of breaking through, easily broke through the third refinement barrier.
Qin Huai looked at his hands. His skin had started to shed, revealing his smooth and fair fingers and palms.
He glanced at his personal panel. He had already reached level 32 concealment of spirit and qi, 779/4000. His lifespan had also increased to 308 years.
The two of them sat in the mountains, looking at the distant forest that was already showing signs of recovery. It was quiet but full of vitality.
“Master, I feel that after cultivating the concealment of spirit and qi, my body is also undergoing a wonderful change.” Qin Huai expressed his feelings. After cultivating the concealment of spirit and qi, the changes in his body seemed to be a little invisible and intangible.
“For example?” Elder Erlong asked.
“I feel like my dantian is even more lively now. It’s like a world with many colors,” Qin Huai explained in full detail.
“Hahaha… That’s right.” Elder Erlong stroked his beard and laughed. “I told you long ago that the concealment of spirit and qi is the most precious treasure of our True Path sect.
“It was created by my ancestor after he spent his entire life studying the great Dao of heaven and earth. With endless wonders and possibilities, the concealment of spirit and qi was the true way to immortality. An increase in lifespan isn’t just an increase in vitality, it’s a transformation in the level of life.”
Qin Huai was deep in thought as he asked, “Could the God that the Sacred Heart disciples speak of be the existence at the end of life?”
To be able to make the fanatical believers follow him so closely, to be able to create a divine cultivation method, and even to modify the way of cultivation… That person must be extremely powerful.
He couldn’t figure it out before, but hearing Elder Erlong’s words now, he felt that there should be a gap in the so-called level of life between them.
Elder Erlong shook his head. “I don’t know. I’ve only heard of the God that the Sacred Heart disciples spoke of. I even doubt his existence.
“It could also be fabricated by the master of Sacred Heart sect. Now that the world is in chaos, many ambitious people will talk about the past when they make a fortune. The flag of the great Dao is a disguise for their ambitions.”
“What level was the ancestor of the True Path sect at?” Qin Huai asked.
“I don’t know that.”
“Then what’s their name?” Qin Huai took advantage of the moonlight and asked some questions that were unrelated to cultivation.
“I don’t know either.”
“Huh?” Qin Huai was stunned.
“What I just heard was from the senior who once guided me in cultivating the concealment of spirit and qi. I have never even been to the sect in my life, so how would I know the name?” Elder Erlong was very calm.
Qin Huai was stunned. After finishing his cultivation for the night, he returned the way he came.
As soon as he reached the courtyard, Qin Huai saw that it was brightly lit and there was the sound of noisy footsteps.
He quickly walked in.
He found a group of disciples of the Nine Dragons sect, dressed in green and white robes, holding torches and searching around.
“What are you guys doing?” Qin Huai’s expression was dark as he walked straight to his bedroom.
There were people from the Li family searching everywhere in the courtyard. When he walked into the courtyard, Qin Huai even saw people digging the ground.
Upon seeing this, he already knew more than half of it.
He walked to the front of his bedroom, and as expected, there were already several burly men waiting outside.
“Hey, what are you guys doing?! This is the young master’s courtyard. Aren’t you afraid that the master will blame you?” Qingshui’s anxious and angry voice rang out. She looked at everyone’s cold expressions and couldn’t help but get angry.
“Miss Qingshui, we’re just following the orders of the family head to investigate the death of the sixth master’s son, Li Buyi.” The man in the lead was rather polite.
“Where did you hear that Li Buyi’s death is related to me?” Qin Huai slowly walked up to them.
“Young Master, I’m sorry. I failed to stop them.”
“It’s fine,” Qin Huai said indifferently.
The man in front of him looked at Qin Huai with a cold gaze. “You don’t have to take it to heart. It’s not just you. The Li family and even the residences of the entire Nine Dragons sect will be searched.
“Then what number am I?” Qin Huai looked at the man in front of him.
“You are the first one. This was because someone had seen a figure that looked like Li Buyi walking in this direction the night before. The most eye-catching place, or rather, the most worthy place to visit, is probably your residence.” The man was neither haughty nor humble, and his words were very calm.
“I don’t mind if you want to investigate me, but can you tell me who saw Li Buyi walking this way? You can’t just make up a few sentences and come to my place to search and dig, right? How can I live in this courtyard in the future?” Qin Huai stared into the man’s eyes.
“Well… It was said by a junior of the fifth branch. Now that a person has disappeared, everyone is in a state of panic. Please bear with it.” The man cupped his hands.
“Hehe, I’m just making things clear. You can check as you wish.” Qin Huai cupped his fists in an open manner.
Li Buyi had already been burnt to ashes by his blade, and not even a residue was left. They wouldn’t be able to find anything even if they dug three feet into the ground.
After a while, the man left the group and cupped his hands at Qin Huai. “It’s the middle of the night. Sorry for disturbing you.”
“Take care. I won’t send you off.” Qin Huai’s expression was calm as he watched the crowd leave.
