My Two-sided Cultivation: Starting From Collecting Experiences

Meeting Hong San in the Mine

Qin Huai re-evaluated the characteristics of the goldfinger he knew.

The amount of experience points one could get from the experience ball was not only related to the strength of the other party, but also affected whether the other party was close to one.

However, it didn’t take up much of a percentage. It was still based on one’s cultivation level, and there were slight fluctuations on this foundation.

“And the time when the experience ball appeared was about ten breaths after I saw them practice. The largest range of the experience ball is still 20 meters around me. I wonder if it will expand a little when I break through to the third refinement or higher?”

Qin Huai pondered for a moment. “I’ve been too low-key and introverted since I came to the dojo. I forgot about this. Otherwise, I would have been able to earn more experience points.”

“But this way, I don’t have to worry that I can only take a little experience from each person in the future because of my high realm.?I can increase my experience points by pulling in relationships.

“In the future, if there’s a top dojo with the breathing technique, there’s a way to increase the speed of cultivation so that it won’t take too long to enter the realm.

“Wait a minute. If getting close to me increases experience, what about those I’m disgusted with?”

Qin Huai thought of Gu Erwa from the apothecary, who had not provided him with much experience. Could it be that he hated that he would lose experience? That wouldn’t be good. Wouldn’t the progress of the thunderflash skill be delayed?

“I’ll go to the mine tomorrow and see if the experience for the thunderflash skill has decreased.”

…

The next day, Qin Huai went to Song Yinhe’s place to get his steel armor.

Master Song was indeed the number one blacksmith in the Changshan Dojo. His steel armor was a good fit to his body, and it didn’t affect Qin Huai’s actions at all.

It had the same effect as chainmail. However, it was different from chainmail, which could only defend against arrows. Master Song’s steel armor had small holes and could even defend against spears and swords.

Qin Huai was ready to go. He entered the mine with a slight apprehension to collect experience.

“Ding! You have collected a [Thunderflash Skill Essence (White) ], [Thunderflash Skill] experience +54!”

“Ding! You have collected a [Thunderflash Skill Essence (White) ], [Thunderflash Skill] experience +56!”

“Ding! You have collected a [Thunderflash Skill Essence (White) ], [Thunderflash Skill] experience +49!”

…

A third refinement martial artist was already at the level of a head instructor in the big martial arts centers and was considered an elder. If there were no accidents, they all had a tacit understanding not to participate in this fight.

Just like the day before, Qin Huai and Fang Han, Old Qin and Hong San were all unexpected situations. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the second refinement realm was already the ceiling.

That was why Qin Huai was a little unbridled. After he collected all the items, he quickly looked at his personal panel.

Name: Qin Huai

[ Vitality ]: 26.578

[Cultivation Methods]: [Breathing technique (level 20, 1366/3000) ], [Qi-nurturing technique (level 50, 7/1000) ], [Breath Control technique (level 13, 875/1000) ], [Spirit Eye technique (level 10, 633/1000) ], [Thunderflash skill (level 4, 236/1000)]

[Skills]: [Alchemy (advanced, 571/1600) ], [Forging (intermediate, 199/400)]

[Stage: Level 2 Blood Refinement]

“The thunderflash skill has increased from 231/1000 at Level 2 to 236/1000 at Level 4. Not only did my experience not decrease, it even increased by 5 points.”

Qin Huai felt at ease. The amount of experience points he could earn would not be affected by his hatred for himself.

“I think that Gu Erwa gave me very little experience. It’s purely because his own cultivation is too weak. He had probably betrayed the apothecary because his cultivation speed was too fast, causing him to lose his balance.”

At night, Sun Ziyao invited Qin Huai to another tea party, which Qin Huai gladly accepted.

“Brother Qin, you’re really amazing. Others are mining in the mine, but you’re saving people in there.” Sun Ziyao laughed. “I was planning to hold a tea party every three to four days or a week, but those senior brothers and fellow disciples were too enthusiastic. They all wanted to thank you for saving their lives. They’re not familiar with you and were afraid of disturbing your practice, so they wanted to thank you through the tea party.”

Sun Ziyao’s eyes were filled with admiration. From the bottom of his heart, he felt that Qin Huai was not ordinary.

Every day, he would observe others learning martial arts. Even if those martial artists’ realms and strength were inferior to his, Qin Huai would still watch seriously.

He was also meticulous in his training, and when he entered the mine, he would face difficulties and save his own people.

“I’m far from being as good as you.”?Sun Ziyao sighed.

“I just happened to be there. It’s nothing.” Qin Huai waved his hand and was very calm.

He was the same at the tea party, and he was already starting to get used to the crowd’s gratitude.

However, when no one took the initiative to talk to him, he continued to curl up in the corner and drink tea.

‘So many of them are brewing tea, but they didn’t drop any tea art experience.’?Qin Huai pondered.

“Yes, Ran Ran just casually makes tea. She doesn’t have any tea skills. Compared to Junior Brother Qin, who is kind and charitable and saves people from danger, that little Hong San of the Thunderbolt Dojo is simply an animal!”

As the party reached its climax, someone mentioned Hong San’s name.

Qin Huai also perked up his ears. He had met this person on his first day with Fang Han, and Fang Han had a very high evaluation of him.

“That guy was extremely arrogant and ruthless in the mine. He completely destroyed the tacit understanding between the two dojos.”

“Yeah, he has already broken the limbs of several senior brothers.”

“He even publicly announced that he would challenge all the second refinement martial artists in the Changshan Dojo. He even signed a life-and-death contract and pasted it on the big tree in the center of the White Flow mine.”

“As long as a martial artist within the second refinement can kill him, the Thunderbolt Dojo will not cause us any trouble.”

“Hmph! So what if they find trouble with us? Our Changshan Dojo is not to be trifled with!” Li Zhang roared, his face red.

“It’s just that this Hong San’s strength is indeed too strong. The senior brothers of the second refinement don’t even have much confidence in beating him,” Yu Liao said in a low voice. He was a second refinement martial artist.

“I’ve fought with Hong San before. I’m ashamed to say this, but I only managed to withstand ten moves from him.”

Everyone fell silent.

“This person has an uncle in the third refinement called Gu He. He’s in charge of the examination in the Thunderbolt Dojo. I heard he plundered a lot of money to get Hong San Qi and blood pills.

“Hong San’s Qi and blood is already at the peak of the second refinement, second only to ordinary third refinement martial artists. It’s said that his thunderflash skill has also reached level 29, and he’s only one step away from the third refinement.” Yu Liao kept talking about Hong San.

“Moreover, the thunderflash skill is domineering and is ranked first among the eight great skills. If you don’t reach the third refinement realm, you’ll probably be in trouble.”

...

Everyone was depressed.

“He’s also a disciple of Sixth Brother Qin, who’s also a madman. When he was young, he once challenged his peers from the eight big martial arts centers. In the end, he overturned six families, so he’s known as the Sixth Brother.” Sun Ziyao revealed another secret.

“Is that so? I thought he was called Sixth Brother Qin because he’s the sixth brother in the family.”

Many people exclaimed. However, they were even more shocked that Sun Ziyao knew about such gossip. One had to know that none of the senior brothers present knew about this.

“I think Hong San wants to follow his master’s path and pick all eight dojos.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

“But who’s going to dispel his arrogance? Don’t tell me we’re going to just let him hang that life-and-death contract on White Flow Mountain?” Li Zhang was furious.

But the senior brothers were all silent, because they knew they really couldn’t win.

Qin Huai, on the other hand, was more concerned about Gu He’s news. Was that guy in the third refinement? Furthermore, he did not expect that Hong San was actually Gu He’s nephew.

It really could be said that they were one family. Neither of them was a decent person.

…

...

Another day passed, and the experience points given by his senior and junior brothers at yesterday’s tea party had indeed increased steadily by a few points.

Qin Huai was completely convinced of his conjecture. Then, he entered the mine as usual.

“Ding! You have collected a [Thunderflash Skill Essence (White) ], [Thunderflash Skill] experience +34!”

“Ding! You have collected a [Thunderflash Skill Essence (White) ], [Thunderflash Skill] experience +46!”

“Ding! You have collected a [Thunderflash Skill Essence (White) ], [Thunderflash Skill] experience +33!”

…

He continued to steadily collect experience points for the thunderflash skill. At the same time, he was still steadily saving lives.

He had only encountered a small accident, and that was when he met Hong San.
