I planted the spiritual roots for my people, and they bestowed upon me a body inscribed with incense

Upon hearing the sound, the man quickly scrambled up from his armchair and drove towards Li Daqiang. Seeing who it was, he immediately stood up.

"Hahaha, Junior Brother Li, what brings you to visit your senior brother?" As he spoke, this person walked towards Li Daqiang. He was handsome, with a strong and muscular body. Judging from his aura, he was probably not far from being a second-rate expert.

Seeing this, Li Daqiang responded with a smile, and at the same time nudged Li Yuandao:

"Yuan'er, this is my senior brother Zhou Zhengtian. Like me, he was originally a member of the Vajra Sect."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan immediately stepped forward to pay his respects.

"Greetings, Uncle Zhou."

Seeing this, Zhou Zhengtian glanced at Zhou Yuan and then said:

"This kid, he probably only weighed ten pounds when he first met me, and now he's grown so much..."

As they were talking, Zhou Zhengtian led the two of them to the martial arts school's reception room.

Zhou Zhengtian, seeing that Li Daqiang's cultivation level was similar to his own, offered his congratulations. After Li Daqiang responded, he began to explain his purpose. Li Daqiang had brought Li Yuan to see if they could obtain a cultivation technique for internal energy from Zhou Zhengtian.

"Senior Brother Zhou, are you interested in Tiger Gallbladder Ginseng Wine?" Li Daqiang asked Zhou Tianzheng as soon as he sat down.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhengtian immediately spoke:

"After all these years, Junior Brother, you're still so reserved when you speak... If there's anything you need to say, just tell your Senior Brother directly. In this Luoshan City, your Senior Brother is someone who can still get a say."

Upon seeing this, Li Daqiang immediately spoke up:

"No, Senior Brother Zhou, I have another purpose for coming here..."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhengtian glanced at Li Daqiang with a puzzled expression, and then said:

"What is it that you mean, Junior Brother? Please explain."

Seeing that the desired effect had been achieved, Li Daqiang immediately spoke up:

"Senior Brother Zhou, as you know, I haven't been with the Vajra Sect for long and haven't learned its true techniques. I've come to ask you for help today, so please grant my request..."

After saying that, Li Daqiang stood up and bowed to Zhou Zhengtian.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhengtian instantly understood. It turned out that Li Daqiang wanted the Vajra Sect's martial arts techniques from his possession. Knowing what Li Daqiang needed, Zhou Zhengtian waved his hand and then said:

"So, what my junior brother wants is the martial arts technique I've learned."

"Sure, I just happened to bring out a copy of the Vajra Finger Technique, so I'll give it to my junior brother..." After saying that, Zhou Zhengtian prepared to get up and walk into the house.

Seeing this, Li Daqiang quickly stopped Zhou Zhengtian and then said:

"Senior Brother Zhou, what I want is the internal energy cultivation method of the Vajra Sect, not the Vajra Finger Technique you mentioned..."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhengtian immediately sat back down in his chair and then said:

"Junior brother, that's unethical of you... You think you can trick me into giving you some wine and stealing my Vajra Sect's inner teachings... How can that be allowed?"

Seeing this, Li Daqiang was about to speak when Li Yuan spoke first:

"Uncle Zhou, if we were to exchange it for a divine weapon, could you do so?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tianzheng immediately burst into laughter:

"You brat, do you think I don't know your father's background? What kind of divine weapon is this?"

Just as Zhou Zhengtian finished speaking, Li Daqiang suddenly covered Li Yuan's mouth, which instantly piqued Zhou Zhengtian's curiosity.

"Your name is Li Yuan, right? Is what you just said true?"

After saying that, Zhou Zhengtian stood up, his eyes gleaming as he stared at Li Yuan.

Upon seeing this, Li Daqiang immediately spoke up:

"Senior brother, my son was just joking..."

After breaking free from Li Daqiang's grasp, Li Yuan immediately spoke:

"Uncle Zhou, we do indeed possess divine weapons, but one cultivation technique isn't enough to exchange for them. If you bring out all the secret manuals you've learned, I'll trade them for divine weapons..."

Seeing that he couldn't hide it any longer, Li Daqiang put on a bitter face and said:

"Senior brother, I've even used all my savings, so don't hold back..."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhengtian quickly spoke up:

"Junior brother, wouldn't it have been better if you had just said so earlier...?"

"Don't worry, the cultivation method I obtained from the Vajra Sect is called the 'Thousand Refinement Breathing Method,' which is a top-tier second-rate cultivation method. This breathing method can strengthen a martial artist's lungs, allowing those who practice it to raise their Qi much faster than other martial artists."

"In addition, I'll also give you a copy of 'The Ten Thousand Cookbook'."

"Although this book has no rank, what's remarkable is that it records 108 kinds of dietary supplements... Each of these methods can greatly replenish a martial artist's qi and blood. It is a secret manual that my senior brother has treasured for many years."

After speaking, Zhou Zhengtian stared at Li Daqiang. Seeing his eyebrows twitch, Zhou Zhengtian thought to himself, "It's all settled."

As Zhou Zhengtian had expected, Li Daqiang was indeed somewhat intrigued by this dietary therapy. He then glanced at Li Yuan, and seeing Li Yuan nod, Li Daqiang turned to Zhou Zhengtian and said:

"Alright, since you're so sincere, I'm not stingy. I'll come to visit again in three days."

After saying that, Li Daqiang took Li Yuan and left the Tiangang Martial Arts School, rushing home without stopping.

As soon as the two returned home, Li Daqiang spoke:

"You brat, you dare to say anything. Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble later?"

Seeing this, Li Yuan smiled awkwardly, then said seriously:

"Father, how much do you know about Zhou Zhengtian?"

Upon hearing this, Li Daqiang immediately said, "When my senior brother was in the sect, he took good care of me, so there's nothing wrong with his character."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan immediately spoke:

"In that case, let's modify the machete and send it to him. Anyway, Father has a horse-slaying sword, and I'm not used to using that machete."

Li Daqiang pondered for a moment, then spoke:

"Alright, let's give that machete to our senior brother as a way of repaying his kindness. We can also take the manual with us."

"However, before that, you should first make my horse-slaying sword as sharp as a cleaver."

After saying that, Li Daqiang handed over the machete, staring at Li Yuan as if trying to see through him.

Li Yuan took the horse-slaying sword, then mobilized the Geng metal energy in his mind, and a wisp of Geng metal energy flew out and merged into the horse-slaying sword.

Instantly, the horse-slaying saber in Li Yuan's hand became much lighter, and the slightly warped saber now gleamed with a cold light.

Seeing this, Li Yuan summoned two strands of Geng metal energy from his mind, instantly adding an aura of "one soldier's appearance, ten thousand soldiers submit" to the sharpness of the Zhanma sword.

Seeing the differences on the horse-slaying sword, Li Daqiang quickly stepped forward, took the sword from Li Yuan, stroked it, and looked at Li Yuan with excited eyes, saying:

"So amazing, Yuan'er, you are truly the unicorn of the Li family."

Seeing his father's obvious delight, Li Yuan understood and immediately said:

"Father, you should get used to this sword first. After all, you can't be too careful. If he turns against you, you'll be better prepared to deal with it."

Li Daqiang nodded, then picked up his horse-slaying sword and began practicing in the courtyard. However, at that moment, a knock on the door stopped him.

Without much thought, Li Daqiang sheathed his knife and went to open the courtyard gate.

As soon as he opened the door, Li Daqiang's face fell instantly.

Seeing Li Daqiang's appearance, one of the people outside the door spoke up:

"Brother Daqiang, what's wrong? Aren't you going to welcome us?"

Li Daqiang didn't respond, but slowly began to speak:

"Gou Fang, what are you doing here? My Li family does not welcome members of the Gou family."
