Chapter 1352 Some People Snatched the Cultivation Bases!
Using the name of the Renyi Group, Fang Qiu had a discussion with the truck owner and rented it on a daily basis.
After they reached an agreement, Fang Qiu sat in the driver’s seat, ready to escort the jade and do a cross-country tour.
Before he started, Fang Qiu took out his mobile phone and called He Gaoming.
“The oldest?”
When the phone was connected, He Gaoming’s voice came from the other end of the line.
“I’ve found someone here. Later, I’ll send you his contact information. Find some time to meet and cultivate him.” Fang Qiu said.
“Oh, a new brother?”
He Gaoming grinned and asked, “To what degree do you want me to train him?”
“It’s up to you. Just make him less arrogant.”
Fang Qiu replied with a smile.
“Okay, no problem.”
He Gaoming promised.
There…
Fang Qiu ended the call, put the truck in gear, and drove off. On the road, he keyed in the navigation coordinates on the phone. While the workers mined the jade in the past seven days, he worked out the fastest and most efficient route. He had already set up the whole route on his phone. At this time, he only needed to follow the navigational instructions.
Fang Qiu stopped at each region’s cultivation base for medicinal herbs. With the jade he took from the truck, he built the terrain in each cultivation base.
He returned to the truck and drove away as soon as the terrain was completed.
Just like that…
Twenty days later, Fang Qiu entered the Qilu Province and stopped at Jiaxiang County. Since this place produced indigenous chrysanthemums, he also built a cultivation base for indigenous medicinal herbs here.
After he parked the truck at the base, Fang Qiu asked the staff to prepare a room for him to rest for the night.
After all, he had been on the road for twenty days.
After he got a room…
Fang Qiu rested for an hour. It was getting dark. With a stir of his mind, he quietly left the cultivation base and came to the big mountain near Jiaxiang County.
He Gaoming and the others were in the Zengzi relic that was at this site.
He transformed into John Doe.
Fang Qiu, familiar with this place, went straight into the relic.
Upon entering, he saw everyone practicing conscientiously. Many people were sitting cross-legged in cultivation. Some were concentrating on exchanging moves to stabilize their cultivation bases. The site bustled with martial arts activities.
At a glance…
Everyone had obviously improved.
He took a closer look.
Over there…
Wu Sanqing, fervent and excited, was standing aside and watching the fierce combats between these brothers. He was so agitated that he jumped up and down on the spot. Frantically waving his hand in the air, he looked so eager to have a try.
In the meantime…
Those who were sitting cross-legged and cultivating saw John Doe.
One after another, they turned to look at Fang Qiu.
He Gaoming trotted up and grinned mischievously, “The oldest, why are you here?”
“I’m here to see you guys.”
Fang Qiu responded coolly. Then he raised his chin at Wu Sanqing, who was watching the battle eagerly, and asked, “How is the boy’s training going?”
“Sanqing?”
He Gaoming chuckled and said, “His father was audacious enough to give him this name. Sanqing means the three highest manifestations of the Dao. With such a great name that has significant meaning, no wonder this guy is so arrogant.”
“You know, when this guy first came here, he was excessively ambitious and arrogant. He frequently announced publicly that he would become a guru in three years!”
“Later, we couldn’t stand it anymore. Thus, we made patient and painstaking efforts to give him ethical and practical training. Gradually, this guy started to realize that it was wrong to be so arrogant. Finally, he extended the deadline from three years to five years.”
“We learned that it was almost impossible to change this arrogant guy. Since then, the others began to avoid him. I had no choice but to teach him myself. I can tell this guy seems talented. Under my careful training and guidance, he is now determined to become a guru in twenty years.”
Fang Qiu heard about this impressive progress.
He shook his head and reached out to pat He Gaoming on the shoulder and said, “Good job, and keep trying.”
“Trust me, the oldest.”
He Gaoming confidently patted his chest and said, “Becoming a guru requires at least twenty years, right? If he doesn’t accept that he would become a guru in fifty years, my task won’t be considered as complete.”
Fang Qiu nodded with satisfaction.
Then, he strode forward.
He came to the thatched cottage.
“Clap, clap, clap…”
Fang Qiu suddenly clapped his hands and shouted, “Fall in!”
He issued the order.
These brothers sitting cross-legged in cultivation woke up from their cultivation. One by one, they stepped forward with smiles and stood at attention.
Those who were practicing in pairs also stopped fighting and came over.
“The oldest.”
Everyone greeted Fang Qiu loudly.
“Master, you’re here?”
Wu Sanqing ran up, looked at Fang Qiu excitedly, and asked casually as if he was very familiar with Fang Qiu.
“Master?”
He Gaoming stepped forward to slap him and rebuked harshly, “Didn’t you hear what the others said? Address John Doe as ‘the oldest’!”
“The… the oldest.”
Wu Sanqing helplessly called Fang Qiu, his face a little annoyed. Then he immediately pointed to He Gaoming and said, “I’m going to make a complaint. He abused me!”
As soon as he said that…
All the people present burst into laughter.
He Gaoming raised his hand and slapped Wu Sanqing again. Wu Sanqing was so scared that he attempted to hide behind Fang Qiu.
“I asked him to teach you.”
Fang Qiu looked at Wu Sanqing and said, “Go back to your place. I have something to announce.”
Hearing this, He Gaoming grabbed Wu Sanqing and pulled him away. He made Wu Sanqing stand facing Fang Qiu with the other brothers. They formed into lines like the neat formation in the army.
Wu Sanqing was curious.
“Why was everyone at John Doe’s beck and call? Their eyes lit up when they heard that John Doe had something to announce.
“Could it be that John Doe, the oldest, brought some treasures here again?”
Thinking of this, Wu Sanqing was also looking forward to it.
“Today, I will teach you a guiding technique. It can help you absorb the Qi of Heaven and Earth quickly.”
Fang Qiu spoke up.
Everyone heard his words clearly.
They were all stunned.
“Absorbing the Qi of Heaven and Earth quickly?”
“How fast could it be?”
“The things the oldest passes on to us must be the best.”
“When we cultivate in this relic, our speed in absorbing the Qi of Heaven and Earth is already very high. With the guiding technique from the oldest, I guess our speed will be increased by nearly a third or even half.”
“If that’s the case, that would be great!”
The more they talked, the more excited they became.
“All right, sit down cross-legged. I’ll teach you the guiding technique right now.”
Fang Qiu instructed them to learn.
Everyone immediately did as he said.
Next, Fang Qiu imparted the improved technique to them word by word.
When Fang Qiu was teaching…
These brothers listened and began to try it out.
As a result…
As soon as they put the technique into practice…
Everyone felt as if they were completely immersed in an ocean of Qi of Heaven and Earth. Meanwhile, streams of Qi of Heaven and Earth surged wildly into their bodies like waves in the sea.
The terrifying absorption speed stunned everyone!
Before that…
They had thought their cultivation speed in the ancient ruin was impressive enough. To their surprise, Fang Qiu mentioned the technique that could build up their speed of taking in the Qi of Heaven and Earth. Thus, they estimated that their cultivation speed could rise by one-third or half at most.
Surprisingly, their speed became eight times faster. Who would have thought that?
Everyone was startled to the core by the astonishing improvement.
They were so busy absorbing the Qi of Heaven and Earth that they couldn’t think straight.
After a while…
When the Qi of Heaven and Earth filled their bodies, everyone came to their senses and stopped practicing the technique. One after another, they opened their eyes and looked at Fang Qiu. They wanted to say something but were at a loss for words.
It was overly frightening.
It was simply too terrifying.
Everyone marveled at his guiding technique!
“I, fuck!”
He Gaoming jumped up as soon as he woke up and said in great astonishment, “What a sky-rocking and earth-shaking surprise!”
After his exclamation, everyone echoed what he said.
“Too powerful.”
“This technique is simply invincible.”
“I feel I have one foot in the Guru Realm!”
All the brothers were beside themselves with excitement.
“Great.”
Fang Qiu clapped his hands and said, “It’s good you learned it. Yet, you haven’t experienced the best part of this guiding technique. At noon, at midnight, and during the conversion periods between the 24 solar terms, the effect of this technique will be doubled.”
After he revealed this…
Everyone was wide-eyed in mute amazement.
“The incredible speed will be doubled?
“Then how fast could it be?”
It was beyond their imagination.
“In addition!”
Fang Qiu changed to a highly solemn tone, “This guiding method can help you improve your strength quickly, but I still have to remind you not to be too overwhelmed by your success. After you break through a realm, you must fully stabilize your state before continuing to cultivate with this technique.”
“The oldest, please set your heart at rest. I’ll keep an eye on them.”
He Gaoming immediately promised, patting his chest with confidence.
Apart from Fang Qiu, he was the strongest among them. Thus, everyone was willing to listen to him.
“Mm.”
Fang Qiu nodded and added, “This technique is exclusive to us. No one is allowed to tell it to outsiders.”
On the spot…
Hearing that, everyone promised that they would guard this secret.
They were not stupid.
Only douchebags would spread the news of such a powerful technique!
“All right. Everyone, continue your cultivation.”
Fang Qiu waved his hand.
The brothers immediately dispersed. They couldn’t wait to practice intensely by fighting against each other and tried their best to consume the Qi of Heaven and Earth they had just absorbed to the full.
On the other side…
Seeing that everyone’s interest had been aroused, Fang Qiu nodded contentedly. After giving He Gaoming a few instructions, he turned around and left the relic.
Back at the cultivation base…
Fang Qiu set up the terrain with jade stones overnight. Then, he sat cross-legged and rested in the room that night.
Early the following day, Fang Qiu continued driving the big truck to the next destination.
“Beep, beep, beep…”
After driving for more than half an hour, Fang Qiu received a call from He Xue.
“Hello?”
The phone was connected.
“Something’s wrong.”
He Xue’s voice spoke, “Some people snatched away many good cultivation bases for indigenous medicinal herbs before us. A lot of such bases were taken.”
“Eh?”
Fang Qiu immediately frowned at the news and said, “Make an investigation and find out who did these things. I’m on my way to visit all the cultivation bases we have. Let me know as soon as you find something.”
