Seeing that Fang Qiu’s guidance truly worked, the second person also began to practice according to Fang Qiu’s instructions.
Sure enough, he found that the power of his martial arts had increased a lot.
This discovery immediately thrilled the second person and he hastily executed his fist salute.
“Thank you for your guidance, sir!”
It instantly made everyone else jealous.
“It worked!”
“Doesn’t this mean that I can also improve?!”
“Sir, give me some advice, please!”
Also, while waiting for Fang Qiu’s guidance, these people were deeply shocked.
“John Doe, you really live up to your reputation!”
“How could he perceive things that even our elders couldn’t see through?”
“Just like the legend says, Senior John Doe is truly remarkable. With only a little guidance, he can help us make so much progress!”
Beyond doubt, everyone was amazed, but they were also expectant.
While the others were in a state of shock, Fang Qiu had begun to guide the third and fourth persons.
After the guidance, their skills improved quickly. This time, everyone was more confident and more enthusiastic about Fang Qiu.
After all, it was not a big deal to help one person get promoted. But helping everyone here to get promoted meant that he was truly capable.
Under everyone’s shocked and expectant gazes, Fang Qiu continued to give them instructions.
When it came to the tenth person, Fang Qiu didn’t say anything. Instead, he stood in front of the man and studied him. Then he frowned and reached to tap at an acupuncture point in one of his meridians, unexpectedly.
The person who was hit suddenly trembled, and then his eyes narrowed.
He looked at Fang Qiu in disbelief.
Before everyone could understand what was going on, the man’s stunned expression was instantly replaced by ecstasy.
“Haha, I made a breakthrough!” Hearing the man’s laughter, everyone was stunned.
“D*mn!”
“Are you kidding me?”
“Is a simple tap enough to allow someone to make a breakthrough?”
“Thank you! Thank you! Thank you, Senior John Doe!”
After a burst of surprised laughter, the man immediately bowed seriously to Fang Qiu and said excitedly, “To tell you the truth, I have been stuck at the peak of the fourth class for a long time. I’ve tried my best to break through to the fifth class, but I couldn’t figure out why I kept failing. I didn’t expect that Senior John Doe would help me to solve it today. I have no way to repay such a big favor. If you have any requests in the future, I will definitely do my best to help you!”
“You’re welcome. It’s no big deal,” Fang Qiu said with a smile. “You’re so close, but you had a hidden disease here, so you could not make a breakthrough due to the blockage of your meridian.”
“Thank you.” The man named Li Boqing bowed again to express his gratitude.
As for John Doe, it might be a small favor. However, for him, it was of vital importance because he could be stuck at this stage for the rest of his life!
How could he not be grateful?
Fang Qiu beamed and continued to the next person.
The 11th martial arts practitioner asked in great excitement, “Senior John Doe, do you think I also have a blockage?”
Fang Qiu was speechless.
“Don’t worry. Take your time.” Fang Qiu gave a wry smile and told him where he needed to improve.
He continued to walk to the next person and gave instructions.
He Gaoming and the others had also completed their breakthroughs and sat cross-legged in cultivation, thoroughly strengthening their power.
All nine of them woke up.
“He Gaoming, I believe what you said earlier.”
When he saw Fang Qiu instructing the others, Liang Fen said, “I think even if a guru comes, he may be defeated by Senior John Doe!”
“Of course.” He Gaoming immediately raised his head proudly and stated, “I had a good eye back then. When my master was simply a nobody, I already stuck by him!”
Although all the eight people laughed out loud, they were extremely envious at heart.
Even if he was not an official disciple, he was exceptionally lucky to have a master like John Doe!
Not everyone had the luck to know such a master when they just started on this path.
Soon, Fang Qiu finished instructing more than 100 people.
Everyone who had received his instructions made significant progress.
Everyone was grateful to Fang Qiu.
They all cupped their hands to express their gratitude.
“Well, you can continue to practice. Maybe you can still improve,” Fang Qiu said with a smile.
Everyone laughed and proceeded to do their cultivation.
Fang Qiu watched them for a while before he walked toward the Heaven Treasure.
After getting on this island, he hadn’t had time to check this Heaven Treasure.
It was only now that he had the time to take a closer look.
“No.10 on the Heaven Treasure List—Cyan Dragon Lock!”
Ruan Changhong tried to destroy the Heaven Treasure before, so Fang Qiu clearly knew that the Heaven Treasure was growing in an open space in the center of the island.
Different from other Heaven Treasures, the growth place of the Cyan Dragon Lock was a bare sandy spot with a radius of one meter. The Cyan Dragon Lock grew in the center. Various kinds of grass grew within a radius of one meter of the spot.
However, the grass was not thick, so he could see the Cyan Dragon Lock at a glance.
Cyan Dragon Lock was shaped like a pillar carved with a dragon.
It was a slightly hard plant with a jade-like appearance. It was only the height of a thumb and looked like a small jade pillar. However, this pillar had a green vine plant like a dragon entwined around it.
It was also because of its pattern that it was named the Cyan Dragon Lock.
Right now, the entire Cyan Dragon Lock looked slightly cyan in color.
According to the Scroll of Heaven and Earth Treasures, when the Cyan Dragon Lock matured, the jade pillar would turn into a transparent golden jade, and the surrounding cyan dragon would also completely reveal an olive green color.
Now it seemed that it was still too early for the Cyan Dragon Lock to mature.
“At this rate of growth, there are four days before the Cyan Dragon Lock matures. No wonder everyone was so restrained before,” Fang Qiu murmured to himself. Then he glanced around and suddenly frowned.
Something was amiss!
“Where did its guardian beast go?
“Normally, there should be a very powerful guardian beast in the place where the Cyan Dragon Lock appears. After all, this is the Heaven Treasure which ranked 10th on the list.
“It’s impossible for the beast to be killed by someone. There is no trace of fighting, and it can’t vanish for no reason.
“Looks like I have to be careful!” Fang Qiu looked around and said to himself.
After checking the Heaven Treasure, Fang Qiu returned to the crowd of martial arts practitioners and began to sit cross-legged to recuperate.
He knew that this was a Heaven Treasure. Whether it was for revenge or for the Heaven Treasure, Ruan Changhong would not just simply let it go.
If he learned that it was the 10th Heaven Treasure, he might go even crazier.
In the next four days, Fang Qiu would feel like skating on thin ice.
He had to be in his best condition.
In the evening, the sea breeze blew gently and the moon was high in the sky.
After everyone had rested, Fang Qiu, who was sitting cross-legged and recovering, suddenly opened his eyes and looked up at the sky.
A fighter actually appeared in the sky!
Due to the high altitude, no one could hear the sound of the fighter.
“Wake up!!” Fang Qiu shouted.
On the island, all the people who had fallen asleep were instantly awakened.
They all stood up swiftly and vigilantly.
“Nothing’s happening?” Everyone turned to look at Fang Qiu, and their faces were full of doubts.
Looking at Fang Qiu, they noticed that he was looking up at the sky.
Could there be something happening in the sky?
Everyone immediately looked up at the sky.
Due to the sea breeze, there were very few clouds in the sky. The moon seemed round and huge. As martial arts practitioners, everyone had incredible eyesight.
After they looked up, they saw a wide expanse of the sky.
The sound of the plane finally reached their ears.
However, the sound was obviously not in sync with the plane, because the sound seemed to be slower.
The fighter was obviously not the standard fighter from Huaxia.
Then there was only one possibility!
It belonged to the enemy!
Everyone was startled!
“D*mn it, they actually sent out a fighter jet?”
“Aren’t they too shameless?”
“This is our sea. How dare they send a fighter to our territory?”
“This is f*cking invasion!”
Everyone started cursing.
But meanwhile, they were a little flustered.
After all, this was a fighter. If the island was set as a bombing target, wouldn’t everyone die here?
“Everyone, go down into the sea! Leave this island!” Fang Qiu said loudly.
He then looked up at the sky and whispered, “Leave this to me.”
“Go down to the sea?”
Everyone’s eyes suddenly lit up. “Right! Go down to the sea. The missile can’t hit us.”
But they couldn’t leave John Doe alone on the island!
He just gave them some instructions on how to improve their cultivation in the afternoon!
They naturally knew what John Doe meant.
They wanted to stay, resist and protect the Heaven Treasure!
“No!” One of them stood up and said, “Even if it’s a fighter, so what? We are Huaxia people, and this is our territory. Senior John Doe, we will face it with you! Even if we’ll go down to the sea, we will go down together. Senior, human power is limited. Don’t fight it all alone! I know you are doing this for the Heaven Treasure, but it doesn’t matter if you lose the Heaven Treasure. Your life is much more important!”
“Yes!”
“Let’s go down to the sea together! You’ll still have lots of chances if you are alive! Leave the Heaven Treasure here!”
Everyone tried to persuade him.
“Thank you, but this time, you can’t face it. It’s not only for the Heaven Treasure, but also for our territory. I will not allow anyone to blow it up!”
Fang Qiu shouted again, “Get into the sea, all of you!”
Protecting the territory?
Everyone was stunned. They didn’t expect that John Doe was not simply staying here for the Heaven Treasure!
They were also from Huaxia, so they couldn’t leave either!
“If you don’t leave, neither will we!”
“No, we won’t leave! Huaxia is also ours. We have a duty to protect it!”
Everyone shouted, unwilling to go down to the sea.
In fact, they were using themselves to force John Doe. They didn’t want John Doe to risk his life recklessly for the Heaven Treasure.
Seeing that no one was listening to him, Fang Qiu rapidly turned to He Gaoming and the others and said, “You guys, go into the sea. Your staying here will only be a hindrance to me.”
He Gaoming frowned, hesitated for a moment, and asked, “Master, can you resist it?”
“Yes!” Fang Qiu nodded with certainty.
“Okay, let’s go down to the sea!” He Gaoming immediately gritted his teeth and ordered the people. He knew John Doe well. Since he said he could, he would definitely do it.
He immediately turned to the eight people beside him and said loudly, “We can’t let our presence affect our master. He is confident that he can handle it. If he fails to do it because of us, the Heaven Treasure will be destroyed and the territory will also be blown up. We will not be able to face our master and will become the sinners of Huaxia. We can’t afford to have this consequence. Let’s go down to the sea!”
The eight of them hesitated for a moment and then decisively followed He Gaoming to the sea.
