Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaofei was startled. This was exactly what he had been worried about. He had told his second uncle about it before, and it was clear that his second uncle had taken his words to heart.
Looking around, Lin Xiaofei quickly grabbed Lin Yiying's hand, stood up, and soon entered a deserted alley. He said earnestly, "
Second Uncle, do you know what that person asked?
"Chickens from all over the village have died, and it's normal for villagers to talk about it from time to time."
But there was one person who wasn't from the village. That person went from house to house asking if anyone had seen the beast that was sucking chicken blood.
Seeing Lin Xiaofei's serious expression, Lin Yiying knew that this matter might be very important to her nephew, so she quickly said, "You were the one who chased away that wild beast, and only you and I have seen it. But you reminded me not to tell anyone, so I haven't told anyone about it either."
When that person asked me yesterday, I gave the same answer as everyone else in the village, but that person seemed a little skeptical and kept trying to go to my house, which I stopped.
I reckon that person will come back to the village today to ask other people.
Lin Xiaofei's heart immediately relaxed a little, and he instructed again:
Second Uncle, you must remember this: no matter who asks you, you must not say that we saw that wild beast.
“Okay, I understand.” Lin Yiying nodded.
He knew his nephew must have a reason for saying that, and if he let it slip, it would cause trouble for his nephew, and he didn't want his nephew to get into any trouble.
After saying that, Lin Xiaofei told his second uncle to go back to the shop and continue eating steamed buns, and then he left.
"After the constables stopped investigating the whole village's dead chickens, things were calm for a while. It seems the owner of the pet has finally started looking for his rat beast."
Lin Xiaofei estimated that he couldn't avoid this matter. After all, that person was a cultivator. If he had some special means, he would find out something sooner or later, and thus find his second uncle, and then find him. Judging from the current situation, this matter might be delayed for some time, but he didn't know the other party's strength, which was what worried him.
"Waiting like this won't work; I need to find a way to quickly increase my strength."
Lin Xiaofei knew he might have to face the owner of that beast at any moment, and he secretly made a decision.
His progress in cultivating the Dew True God Technique was somewhat slow. Before he could generate his first wisp of spiritual energy, he could not cultivate without the morning dew. Because of the morning dew in his mouth, he could not consume herbs to speed up his cultivation. He could not even begin to cultivate for a while.
Furthermore, he had also considered that the Dewdrop True God Technique was merely a method of cultivating Qi, containing no offensive spells. At most, it could only slightly enhance one's own strength, resulting in limited growth in power.
Therefore, he had to find other ways to increase his strength.
Currently, he has heard news of an ordinary martial art, and perhaps he can try to acquire it.
At the same time, he remembered that Wang Shan had said he would teach him a few sword techniques. In particular, he thought of the sword techniques that Wang Shan had used when he fought with the two middle-aged men. He guessed that it was a pretty good sword technique and he really wanted to learn it.
In addition, he felt that he might encounter the owner of that beast at any time and thought there might be danger, so he didn't want to wait any longer and planned to ask Wang Shan if he could teach him a few sword techniques to improve his strength.
"It is said that within the Qingfeng Gang's branches, any inner disciple who cultivates the Qingfeng Leg technique to the minor completion level can receive a martial arts skill for free, while outer disciples need to pay ten taels of silver to receive a martial arts skill, and miscellaneous disciples need to pay fifty taels of silver to receive a martial arts skill."
Unfortunately, I'm neither an inner disciple nor do I have fifty taels of silver, otherwise I could go and exchange them for a martial arts technique right now.
Lin Xiaofei sighed as he thought to himself.
......
"Uncle Wang, didn't you say you'd teach me a few sword techniques? Does that still stand?"
The two pushed the large cart together, walking on the dirt road outside the city, and Lin Xiaofei asked.
"Of course it counts."
It's time to fulfill my promise. I also promised to give you a chance, and I'll grant that today. After I teach you swordsmanship, I will leave Qingshan Town.
Wang Shan said with a smile.
"Uncle Wang, why are you leaving Qingshan Town?"
Lin Xiaofei was delighted that Wang Shan was going to teach him swordsmanship, but when he heard that Wang Shan was leaving, he couldn't help but ask.
"Some time ago, we went through a battle together. Although I killed two of my enemies, their sons are still alive. Recently, I heard some news about them, saying that they want to take revenge on me."
Therefore, I plan to leave Qingshan Town and go to a quiet place.
After hesitating for a moment, Wang Shan said calmly.
He had secretly retired from the gang to become a menial disciple in order to hide himself and live a few peaceful days. However, his old enemies discovered his whereabouts, so he decided to leave Qingshan Town.
Lin Xiaofei nodded, unsure of what to say.
Seeing that Lin Xiaofei didn't speak, Wang Shan smiled and said, "Actually, I wanted to teach you swordsmanship a few days ago."
Back then, in the backyard of the Medicine Pavilion, when you were chopping wood alone, I happened to see you demonstrate a partially mastered Green Peak Leg technique. You already possessed the qualifications to cultivate a martial art.
"Haha, I've mastered the Green Peak Leg technique to a minor level, and Uncle Wang actually discovered it. You really have sharp eyes."
Upon hearing this, he laughed heartily, but Lin Xiaofei was startled.
He still remembered how excited he was after cultivating the Azure Peak Leg technique to the minor completion level. He couldn't resist the urge to use it. Seeing that there was no one else in the backyard, he stomped his legs hard on the ground, unleashing the minor completion Azure Peak Leg technique, but Wang Shan noticed him. He thought to himself, "..."
Fortunately, I never used my perfect Green Peak Leg technique in the backyard, otherwise Uncle Wang would have discovered it and would have suspected me, which would have caused me trouble. I need to be more careful in the future.”
"Having experienced the ways of the world for many years, I still have a certain eye for things."
After thinking for a moment, Wang Shan continued, "
Yes, I remember now, it seems you've been with the Qingfeng Gang for forty-nine days.
I've been with the Qingfeng Gang for over twenty years and have seen many people cultivate the Qingfeng Leg technique to a minor level of mastery. However, there are only three teenagers who have cultivated for between forty and fifty-five days.
Those three people are all geniuses.
Now, you are considered the fourth martial arts prodigy.
However, you have a greater talent for martial arts than the previous three geniuses because you are a menial disciple who has to do a lot of work every day, during which time you waste a lot of time practicing martial arts.
As he spoke, Wang Shan's eyes lit up.
He had been with the Qingfeng Gang for over twenty years and was familiar with the martial arts prodigies that had emerged in its branches, but Lin Xiaofei's talent surprised him even more.
After staring at Lin Xiaofei quietly for a while, Wang Shan smiled.
"I really didn't expect you to be such a martial arts genius. It just so happens that I was planning to retire from the martial world. It would be good if I could pass on my sword skills to a genius like you, and it would also be a good connection between us."
"Of course, I promise to give you an opportunity, which is a letter of recommendation. As long as you hand this letter to Steward Liu, who is in charge of the Pill Pavilion, it will be of great benefit to you."
As he spoke, Wang Shan took out a letter from his pocket and handed it over.
"Will handing this letter over to Steward Liu really bring me any benefits?"
After receiving the letter, Lin Xiaofei asked curiously.
"OK."
Wang Shan smiled slightly and said:
I once saved Steward Liu's life, and he gave me this letter, saying that if I ever needed anything from him, I could send someone to give him this letter, and he would do me a favor.
Now, I just want to find a quiet place to live, and I don't need this letter anymore, so I'm giving it to you in consideration of the last time you helped me.
If you hand this letter to Steward Liu, he might give you a lot of benefits.
Steward Liu holds a high position within the gang; even some of the higher-ups show him respect. With his help, you could very well escape your status as a menial disciple and gain various other benefits.
"Thank you, Uncle Wang. I will do my best to help you in the future, as long as it is within my ability."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaofei was overjoyed and said with a smile.
