My Two-sided Cultivation: Starting From Collecting Experiences

144 Blood Dragon Platform and Azure Dragon Pass

Regarding the poison that Doctor Xu had given him, when Qin Huai saw the black fish blood grass, he already understood.

Qin Huai and his master, Sun Yuanshan, had already discussed this ‘time bomb’ type of poison a long time ago. During the battle with Cheng Li and the three hundred cavalrymen, he had also relied on this move to kill over a hundred men in one fell swoop. Its power was immense.

Now that Doctor Xu had done this to him, it could be said that the poison king had added laxatives into his bowl, and the Qin sect had poisoned him.

Qin Huai concocted a poison and downed it in one gulp.

Hulalala…

Qin Huai’s cheeks instantly flushed red, and his entire body was burning with sweat.

That was the effect of the poison. It had completely dissolved the black fish blood grass in Qin Huai’s qi and blood, turning it into pure qi and blood. At the same time, Qin Huai activated the blood heart technique.

All of these poisonous substances could be used to refine his golden blood.

Among all the cultivation methods, the cultivation method of the Sacred Heart sect was the most suitable for Qin Huai. The reason was simple, it didn’t look at talent. He only needed to devour these qi and blood objects.

Qin Huai’s face was now visibly rosier. He combined all the medicinal herbs in front of him and refined them with the blood heart technique.

At his dantian, a grain-sized drop of golden blood slowly formed. Wisps of white qi also began to revolve around the golden blood, strengthening it slowly.

However, his current speed was still too slow, and he needed a large amount of golden blood.

“Husband’s medicinal skills are really amazing. Even poison can become a great supplement.” Li Shaoxiang looked at Qin Huai with a fanatical gaze, his eyes full of worship. “It’s a pity that the Li family’s days are a little hard. Today, you’ve even sent them out of the Darksteel Mountain, making things even worse.”

Li Shaoxiang’s expression darkened again. “My father and I only have this much. We can’t find so many nourishing things for my husband to recover for the time being.”

Qin Huai was surprised and looked at Li Shaoxiang’s gloomy expression. He had a deeper understanding of the Li family’s current situation, especially today in the meeting hall.

Almost all of the people there were from the Zhang family. Besides being discontented with Zhang Wu, many members of the Li family were more discontented with Zhang family.

However, the Li family had been enduring it all this time. It was obvious that this had not started recently.

“Is there any way to obtain these great tonics?” Qin Huai asked.

“Of course there is. The Blood Dragon Platform tests one’s vital energy and strength, and the simplest and most straightforward test is the White Dragon Forest. The last one is the Azure Dragon Pass.

“The trials of blood, white, and azure involve all the disciples in the sect. They would rank them all, and the number of points the disciples can get at each level is different. You can get nine dragon points, which are all hard currency in the sect. They can be exchanged for vitality pills, as well as the sect’s armor, weapons, and talismans.”

Li Shaoxiang was very familiar with the sect’s methods of making money and told Qin Huai about them.

The Nine Dragons sect was a big sect. It would not be like the time at the Changshan Dojo, where the disciples had to rely on mining and forging for income.

Within the Nine Dragons sect, there were a huge number of service disciples who provided everything for the cultivation disciples.

But the disciples of the Nine Dragons sect also had to work. Their job was more to eliminate evil and defend the Dao. Or, they could rely on the bounty offered by the county or the towns below to earn money and train their combat abilities.

“Am I considered a disciple of the Nine Dragons sect?” Qin Huai asked.

“Of course!” Li Shaoxiang nodded.

“Then what are the conditions to become a core disciple of the Nine Dragons sect?” Qin Huai asked.

“There are two ways to become a core disciple. The first is to reach the bone pattern realm or to enter the top thirty in both the Blood Dragon Platform and the Azure Dragon Pass.

“There’s one more thing that I want to make clear to my husband. The Nine Dragons sect disciples, elders, deacons, and even the service disciples are all divided into two groups.

“One faction is the Li family, the other is the Zhang family. The two families will also use the rankings of their disciples in these three trials to split the profits and compete for power. So, if someone from one side stands out, the other side will not hesitate to suppress them.”

Qin Huai frowned when he heard this. “Isn’t this an internal fight? In the long run, wouldn’t it be hard to say if the Nine Dragons sect can still maintain its status as one of the three major forces? It might even split!”

Li Shaoxiang sighed. “That’s right. Whether it’s Father or Zhang Wu, everyone knows it. But there’s no other way. When one side rises, the other side is destined to fall. No one is willing to submit to the other unless an absolute powerhouse appears to suppress the two sides…

“However, the two families’ strength has already been imbalanced for a long time. As time passes, the gap between the two families’ power will only grow bigger and bigger. Perhaps it won’t be long before the Li family is completely devoured by the Zhang family.”

Qin Huai looked at the nourishing items in front of him and understood.

“I will help you,” Qin Huai said in a low voice.

Whether it was to repay Li Shaoxiang for saving his life, or for his future cultivation. The Zhang family was an opponent that he had to deal with.

Furthermore, the Zhang family had poisoned him.

Today, in the meeting hall, the doctor and Zhang Wu had looked at Qin Huai with strange expressions, which made him feel uneasy.

Those people… They were definitely plotting something against him.

‘Weak. I’m still too weak…’ Qin Huai sighed in his heart.

He paused and asked again, “How’s the war in Pingnan?”

Li Shaoxiang replied, “The demons have been destroyed by Song Ya and his army. Even City Lord Hu Guanpan’s men have disappeared from Pingnan.”
