Dark Immortal Cultivation

At the alley entrance, Zhang Qing and Fang Mian parted ways.

He could fully understand the inner disciple's anger and resentment, and he also felt a deep disgust for the troublemaking Seventh Young Master Gu.

But there was nothing Zhang Qing could do.

After all, he is currently just a minor cultivator in the early stage of Qi Refining, and has no ability to influence the situation of a gang.

Not to mention that behind Gu Qishao stands a behemoth like the Gu family of Luoshan.

It's time to find a way out for myself...

Zhang Qing thought to himself as he arrived at his door.

Just as he unlocked the door and entered the house, a sudden thought struck him, and he caught a whiff of a familiar, delicate fragrance.

Zhang Qing's eyes immediately lit up: "Mei'er?"

"whee!"

The next moment, a pair of slender hands wrapped around his waist from behind: "My lord, have you been thinking of me lately?"

Zhang Qing took a deep breath and nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

He was telling the truth, not just sweet talk.

After all, Zhang Qing's body was very young, and his physique had greatly increased, with his key parts also being strengthened.

Once you've tasted the sweetness and become accustomed to it, it would be strange if you didn't crave more!

Hu Meier, standing behind her, chuckled softly, "Meier misses her husband very much too..."

Her voice was melodious and gentle, with an indescribable charm that made Zhang Qing tremble with fear.

Zhang Qing couldn't help but turn around and pick up the little fox.

They went straight to the bedroom.

Hu Meier buried her face in his chest, wrinkled her nose, and asked in surprise, "My lord, did you take some kind of magic pill?"

Zhang Qing shook his head: "No."

"That's strange."

Hu Meier sniffed hard: "Your yang energy is much more abundant than before. Could it be that you've embarked on the path of body cultivation?"

Zhang Qing laughed and said, "No, I'm still a Dharma cultivator."

With that, he placed the beauty in his arms onto the bed.

Hu Meier shyly pushed him away, saying, "My lord, you haven't bathed yet!"

"All right."

Zhang Qing wasn't in a hurry: "Wait for me."

He let go of Hu Meier and went to the bathroom.

While jumping into the bathtub to take a shower, Zhang Qing hesitated for a moment, but gritted his teeth and used up the 0.2 points of strong energy he had stored up!

Although his current [Physical Strength] has reached 3 points, his physical condition has improved significantly, and he has also undergone special strengthening of key areas. Logically speaking, his combat power should be greatly improved compared to before, and he should have enough confidence.

But for some reason, or perhaps recalling his previous crushing defeat, Zhang Qing steeled himself.

I've decided to reclaim my dignity this time!

Anyway, this won't be the first or second time; the current investment won't be wasted.

After quickly cleaning himself up, Zhang Qing resolutely stepped onto the battlefield!

A fierce battle soon broke out.

Ambitious Zhang Qing used all his skills and knowledge from his previous life to kill the enemy chieftain.

At the beginning, his attacks were fierce and effective.

The opponent was caught off guard.

This led Zhang Qing to believe that he had a firm advantage and a good chance of winning the final victory.

But he was happy too soon.

Because his opponent successfully withstood his offensive and, after regaining his footing, launched a tidal wave of counterattacks.

Not only that, the opponent also unleashed a secret technique from their sect!

They have completely abandoned martial ethics.

Although Zhang Qing had a basic grasp of the "Yin Yang Harmony Technique," he lacked practical experience. Faced with a sect's holy maiden's soft-to-hard techniques, he ultimately suffered a crushing defeat.

He fought and lost again, and lost three times in a row.

Despite having an indomitable spirit, he was powerless against others and could only endure humiliation and submit.

Afterwards, Hu Meier leaned against Zhang Qing's chest and whispered, "My lord, you are much more capable than before. I like you so much."

Zhang Qing replied with a vacant look in his eyes, "You flatter me, I don't deserve it."

Hu Meier chuckled and said, "I'm telling the truth, my lord. Don't think you're not good enough. If it weren't for my great progress during this seclusion and the careful guidance from the elders in the sect, I really wouldn't be a match for you."

Regardless of whether it was true or not, Zhang Qing was greatly relieved to hear her say that.

I feel like my efforts weren't wasted.

Hu Meier seemed to have opened a floodgate of words, licking her red lips with her delicate tongue, and continued, "My lord, you don't know, several of my girlfriends envy me very much..."

Exhausted, Zhang Qing listened to her sweet voice and soft murmurs. His mind was completely blank, and he felt a sense of joy, peace, and happiness.

Before he knew it, he fell into a deep sleep and drifted into a sweet dream.

It wasn't until the next morning, after the crowing of the rooster three times, that Zhang Qing gradually regained consciousness.

At this moment, his side was empty, with only a faint fragrance lingering around him.

Zhang Qing wasn't surprised at all.

He immediately opened the data panel to check his own attribute status.

Zhang Qing was very surprised by the result.

This time, his [Physical] attribute didn't drop!

Of course, the [Divine Soul] did not increase either.

Moreover, I don't feel as weak as I did last time; my energy has mostly recovered.

Zhang Qing was overjoyed at this.

He thought about it carefully and concluded that it was probably because he had strengthened his [physical] attribute. The higher the attribute value, the less likely it was to drop, unless he suffered a particularly severe loss.

In addition, the "Yin Yang Harmony Technique" probably also helped to some extent.

Although Zhang Qing's skill in this combined cultivation technique had not even reached the beginner level.

However, after some real-world experience, his skills improved significantly.

This undoubtedly reduced the losses.

The next moment, Zhang Qing's gaze fell on the bedside table.

As is customary, Hu Meier would likely leave behind a purse or storage bag containing the reward.

However, neither of them was found.

On the bedside table, there was a stack of books!

That's it?

Zhang Qing was very disappointed.

He sat up and casually picked up the top book.

The book title on the cover immediately caught my eye.

Aura Protection Technique!

Zhang Qing was immediately taken aback.

He never expected that Hu Meier would leave him a secret martial arts manual.

This "Spiritual Light Protection Technique" is a defensive method that can only be learned in the mid-stage of Qi Refining. Although the technique itself is not particularly precious, it is not easy to buy an original copy on the market.

If you exchange it from the Changfeng Guild Hall, you'll need at least two or three minor merits!

As the saying goes, the law is not easily passed on; even ordinary spells require a considerable price to acquire.

Once Zhang Qing breaks through to the fourth level of Qi Refining, the "Spiritual Light Protection Technique" will be the first spell he masters—without exception!

As a result, it fell into his hands very easily.

It can't be said to be easy.

But it's definitely worth it.

Zhang Qing shook his head and picked up the second book, then the third...

There are four cultivation techniques in total: in addition to the "Spiritual Light Protection Technique," there are also the "Land Leap Technique," "Spiritual Rhinoceros Finger," and so on.

And the "Fire Crow Technique".

It smells so good!!
