Thinking of enhancing his strength,
Zhou Ping’an first thought of the fundamental technique he practiced, the “Tidal Breathing Technique.”
Utilizing the Sudden Comprehension Overclocking State to enhance this highly potential Breathing Technique should have been the best choice.
Because, according to the various information he had received,
cultivating the Breathing Technique over a long period could strengthen muscles and bones, bolster Qi-Blood, perform marrow cleansing and blood replacement, and refine the five viscera and six bowels.
This kind of enhancement was comprehensive.
But there were also problems.
Even if he cultivated the “Tidal Breathing Technique” to a very high level and used this technique to enhance his physique, it would still take a long time.
The evolution of the physical body, from external to internal, was gradual.
It required not only energy but also a process.
It was possible to save some time, but one could not reach the sky in one step.
Therefore, enhancing the “Tidal Breathing Technique” at this moment didn’t actually add much to his immediate combat power.
And now, being in the Lin Family, he didn’t claim utter loyalty.
In fact, he had already formed a relationship with the Lin Family in which they shared both glory and loss.
Having just slain several chiefs of the Black Mountain Bandits and confronted the Baicao Hall,
Zhou Ping’an wouldn’t believe that everything would go on as if nothing had happened and everyone would coexist peacefully.
At this moment, even if he wanted to tell someone that he had joined the Lin Family only to make a living and did not intend to share life and death with them, probably no one would believe him.
Anyone who believed it would be a fool.
Enemies’ experts, seeing him alone, would certainly not entertain any thoughts of leniency.
There were mistakes in killing, but no mistakes in letting go.
That was roughly the situation.
Therefore, once involved in the Jianghu, one couldn’t help oneself, and it was not just empty talk.
Moreover, whether it was Little Jiu Girl or the Third Miss Lin and others, they had not treated him badly.
Not to mention the matter of personal favors.
He really couldn’t just stand by and watch as the little one was harmed.
Thinking of those trustful and dependent big eyes, warmth flooded Zhou Ping’an’s heart.
It could only be said that the relationship between people is mysteriously fated.
Remain new despite a lifetime of acquaintance, and as intimate as ever even after a long relationship.
Some people calculate against each other even after living together for a lifetime.
Some, upon meeting for the first time, could cooperate seamlessly and entrust each other with their lives…
The thought of just leaving was abruptly discarded.
Therefore, the optimal choice was obviously to enhance his immediate combat power as quickly as possible to cope with the current crisis.
He could only choose one of the two skills, “Sword Technique” and “Wave Stacking Jin,”
to make his offensive power stronger.
At least, he should avoid facing an enemy like the Yin Yang Elder, an expert of the Organ Refinement Realm, and not encounter the awkward situation where, even when he struck the opponent, it only caused a minor injury.
Just as he was about to operate the Red Lotus Heart Seal, burning the white thread and entering an overclocking state of comprehension,
Zhou Ping’an suddenly stopped.
He was astonished to find
that this time, the thickest white thread was not from Little Jiu Girl.
It wasn’t Lin Huaiyu either.
It was Tang Lin’er.
“How strange,”
he hadn’t seen Tang Lin’er involved in the battle earlier, nor had he seen where he was hiding.
The extent of the thickness of the thread he contributed could only suggest how intensely his heart was fluctuating.
Even more than Little Jiu Girl who had faced a life-threatening crisis.
Carefully sensing this thread,
Zhou Ping’an heard what sounded like a roaring inner monologue.
“Just a few days, it’s only been a short while, the marrow cleansing peak Life-Seizing Scholar, could not survive more than a few moves in his hands and was slain.
Is the Yin Yang Elder, an Organ Refinement Realm Great Martial Master, also unable to overcome him within a short period of time?”
“Is the Tidal Breathing Technique really that powerful?
It even surpasses my Lotus Body’s twice the root strength, triple the burst, and even the unparalleled secret technique of one of the Red Lotus Three Great Divine Skills that flips six times.
I really want to acquire this Breathing Technique, with it, I could avenge that deep-seated enmity…”
Within the roaring voice, there was deep-seated hatred.
Mixed with bits of admiration and disbelief…
“Eh!”
Tang Lin’er’s heart thoughts were very complex and difficult to articulate, and it seemed to inadvertently reveal something extremely confidential.
Unfortunately, within this admiring thought, the strong hatred directed toward someone was too overpowering, leaving no room for a second thought in the short term.
Zhou Ping’an couldn’t hear more of the monologue.
However, it was already enough.
“One of the Red Lotus Three Great Divine Arts, the Purifying World Lotus Body, what a marvelous thing.”
Hearing Tang Lin’er’s heartfelt thoughts about the secret of “twice the root bone, thrice the burst.”
Zhou Ping’an felt that, for the time being, he should not enhance the “Wave Stacking Jin” any further, nor was there a need to improve his Sword Technique.
These white silk threads were too precious.
First, let’s see if there’s another opportunity.
After hearing Tang Lin’er’s heartfelt thoughts.
Directly, Zhou Ping’an listened once more to the silk threads contributed by the Third Miss and Little Jiu Girl.
From Third Miss Lin Huaiyu, there was no such emotional turbulence as with Tang Lin’er, nor did she cry out loud.
Instead, she sighed a mournful sigh, self-pitying and self-harming.
“What a pity, with such talent and innate ability, the cultivation time is still too short.
No matter how much one practices, it won’t be possible to cultivate Powerful Force within three years.
Otherwise, partnering with me, we could disregard family arrangements, break the rules, and enter the Cloud Water Heavenly Sect.
Even if unable to learn the Cloud Water Sutra, I could definitely learn from Canghai’s treasured book.
And possibly have that sliver of qualifications to break through to the True Martial Realm, with hopes for longevity.”
“Most people only care about immediate, trivial benefits, busying about all day so that hastily a hundred years pass by, turning to dust; I truly do not wish…”
A sigh, lingering on.
Though gentle and mournful within her heart thoughts, it rang in Zhou Ping’an’s heart like morning bells and evening drums.
“Such high aspirations, actually harboring ambitions of immortality…”
Whether the aspiration is lofty isn’t the question for now.
From Lin Huaiyu’s whispered heart thoughts, one could tell that she really thought this way.
That is to say, the chance for immortality really exists.
Isn’t that just legend and myth?
Could it be that the stories those storytellers told to Little Jiu are actually true?
The martial arts of this world has really reached the point where it can prolong life and hope for immortality?
That is a realm far beyond what modern society has touched.
They strive to develop technology, hard at researching some unimaginable, lethal weapons.
They’ll never know, the heritage they discarded, just what significant meaning it holds.
And what they have lost.
“Cloud Water Heavenly Sect, Canghai’s treasured book…”
Zhou Ping’an silently noted down these pieces of information.
Although he didn’t think much further.
Deep in his heart, however, a fervor quietly kindled.
Perhaps.
Possibly.
I might also be able to.
After hearing the heartfelt thoughts of Tang Lin’er and Third Miss, his mood turned somewhat heavy, but hearing Little Jiu Girl’s words almost made Zhou Ping’an burst into laughter.
“Did that monkey ever defeat the Jade Emperor?
I’d really like to see Brother Ping’an become as powerful as the Handsome Monkey King, making all the bad guys crawl…”
Hearing these thoughts.
Zhou Ping’an seemed to see those clear yet foolish large eyes right in front of him.
Surely she’s just a child.
Their thoughts are always so uniquely brilliant.
Even amidst dangerous times, she didn’t forget to enjoy stories, right?
“Bang…”
In that moment.
The door to the room where Zhou Ping’an was temporarily resting was suddenly pushed open.
Xiao Xue, bloodied and having not yet changed her clothes, with a pale face, rushed in hurriedly.
“Zhou…
Big Brother Zhou, Ninth Miss, she, she…”
It was evident that the usually very composed and strictly proper maid Xiao Xue had completely lost her composure at this time.
What could be the situation that made her, at a time when the Third Miss was pursuing the enemy outside the mansion, lose trust in the rest of the people at home and instead come to seek out me, an injured person?
“Take it slow, what happened to Little Jiu?”
“She was carelessly taken away earlier.” Xiao Xue, pale as death, spoke hurriedly, “It was Wei Dazui.
He was actually a traitor, he suddenly attacked and injured Lin Ziqi, capturing Ninth Miss.”
“How can this be?”
Zhou Ping’an nearly cursed aloud.
“Can the Lin Family be any worse?
Not only allowing spies to infiltrate but also turning the house elders against us, leaking secrets everywhere…”
Internal and external troubles erupting at the same time, the situation was indeed treacherous.
