Only I am Venerable-Chapter 46: Night Raid
What’s going on? The thought arose in both of their minds at almost the exact same time.
"What did you feel?" Qin Li asked, looking at Shangguan Shiyu.
"You first!"
"Uh... alright. When you’re near me, my cultivation speed becomes exceptionally fast!" Qin Li answered honestly.
Unexpectedly, his answer caused Shangguan Shiyu to misunderstand. The blue skin behind her veil flushed red, and she cursed him inwardly, ’Pervert!’
"What did you feel?" Puzzled, Qin Li asked her outright when she didn’t speak.
"I’m not telling you!" Shangguan Shiyu said, then turned and ran off.
Over the next two days, however, Qin Li kept running into Shangguan Shiyu. To him, no matter how smart she was, she was still just a little girl. As long as he was shameless enough, there was nothing she could do.
And that was indeed the case. After failing to avoid him several times, Shangguan Shiyu had no choice but to let Qin Li stay near her. Fortunately, he didn’t make any inappropriate moves.
This made Shangguan Shiyu, who had grown up reading cautionary tales for women, breathe a sigh of relief. If he had actually tried to get handsy, she would have put a stop to it immediately, even if he was her fiancé!
Qin Li stayed at the Shangguan Family’s home for two or three days. For the hour or so that he met with Shangguan Shiyu each day, the two barely interacted. She fed the fish while he cultivated. In just these few short days, Qin Li’s strength showed signs of another breakthrough! Although he hadn’t tested it, Qin Li knew in his heart that he had reached the peak of the sixth-stage Profound Level. Soon, he would break through to the seventh stage and reach the same level of strength as Hu!
Such a cultivation speed was unthinkable for an ordinary Martial Artist. Even a genius like Qin Feng wouldn’t dare believe that such a monstrously talented Martial Artist existed in this world.
But upon careful consideration, it wasn’t hard to understand. The Basic Techniques that the original owner of this body had practiced was no ordinary thing. It was just that the world was ignorant and didn’t understand its benefits. Ten years of foundation building had all benefited the transmigrated Qin Li. Furthermore, the Innate Purple Qi Technique was a cultivation technique created by the old Daoist priest who had adopted him. It was the culmination of a lifetime spent comprehending the Celestial Dao, synthesized from the manuscripts and techniques of all the famous figures in the Daoist Sect. How could it possibly be an ordinary item?
The Only I am Venerable cultivation technique was one of the most supreme techniques in the Ancient Era. It was just that its requirements were too high for ordinary people to cultivate. Everyone knew that one could cultivate the Only I am Venerable technique as long as they had the formula for the Celestial Profound Pill. What they didn’t know was that the materials required for the Celestial Profound Pill were incredibly rare, some even one-of-a-kind! If they were so easy to obtain and master, the eight-thousand-year gap in Martial Artist history between the Ancient Era and the present would never have occurred!
Therefore, when many accidents and coincidences collided, they gave birth to an extremely monstrous existence like Qin Li. Although the cultivation technique’s progress would slow down after reaching the Earth Level, the fact was that Earth Level Martial Artists were already at the top of this continent’s Martial Artist pyramid! A boy who had yet to come of age reaching the Earth Level—could there be anything more astonishing?
Every day, Qin Li would diligently practice the Only I am Venerable combat technique, using it to fuse all the Martial Arts he had learned in his previous life. Finally, it became his own unique, one-of-a-kind technique: the Only I am Venerable technique!
This may sound simple, but it actually combined twenty years of Martial Arts experience from his previous life with the excellent foundation of his current body. A whole new world had opened up before Qin Li!
He was no longer limited by the narrow perspective of mastering a single specialty. The most powerful aspect of the Only I am Venerable technique was its ability to absorb the strengths of a thousand schools and make them his own!
Whether it was Martial Arts or combat techniques, the more advanced they were, the more unique their properties. Yet, after being fused by the Only I am Venerable cultivation technique, they could all be linked together! When unleashed, their power was countless times greater than before!
So, although it seemed like he hadn’t gained much from his adventure into the jungle with Hu and the others, the truth was, for Qin Li, the gains were already immense!
Especially when he placed the ten-thousand-tael silver note in his mother’s hand, Qin Li could feel the relief and pride in her gaze.
To a mother, money was never as important as her son’s success! She would never bow her proud head for money, but for her son, she was willing to give everything she had!
"Mother, keep this safe. This is the first bit of money your son earned all by himself!" Qin Li said with a smile, looking at his mother’s somewhat dazed expression. He felt a pang of sorrow, but even more so, a surge of pride. ’Finally, I can earn money and support my family!’
Qin Xue peeked over, glanced at the number on the silver note, and gasped in shock. "How is it so much?"
Qin Li recounted the story of hunting the Iron Armor Crocodile, captivating the two women who had never set foot in the jungle. Of course, Qin Li didn’t mention the incident with the Green Furred Cat at all.
After he finished, Qin Xue, still wanting more, said, "I never knew adventuring was so much fun! You can even fish up ten thousand taels of silver! I want to go next time!"
"You should just stay home. Do you think the ferocious Spirit Beasts in the deep mountains and old forests are just for show?" Qin Li shot a look at the excited Qin Xue, pouring cold water on her enthusiasm.
"Hmph, I’m your older sister, and you’re lecturing me!" Qin Xue said, giving Qin Li a light rap on the head.
Qin Hanyue watched from the side with a warm smile, her heart filled with comfort. Qin Xue was, after all, still a young girl at heart. Even after years of being brainwashed, she had quickly recovered her cheerful nature after coming to live with Qin Hanyue.
"Oh, right, how’s Watermelon doing?" Qin Li asked with a smile, thinking of the little guy.
"That little rascal? He’s busy conquering territory every day. I’m starting to wonder if taking him in was the right decision. That kid was born to be a troublemaker!" When Watermelon was mentioned, Qin Xue seemed both proud and annoyed.
Qin Li chuckled and said, "He’s just being a kid. Let him be."
That evening, Qin Hanyue and Qin Xue made a lavish dinner as usual. After eating, Qin Li returned to his room and had just entered a state of Meditation when a warning suddenly flared in his heart. A somewhat familiar aura was approaching. Qin Li’s eyes snapped open, a cold, harsh light within them.
As his strength increased, his Spiritual Sense grew more powerful. Before, Qin Li could sense things within a thirty-meter radius, but now, almost nothing within sixty meters could escape his perception.
’Qin Shisan? You actually dare to come back!’ Fury flared in Qin Li’s heart. ’Today, I’ll show you what it means to be a changed man!’
In terms of pure strength, Qin Li was no match for Qin Shisan. But Qin Li’s greatest trump card was that Qin Shisan had no idea he had already broken through to the Profound Level!
’Some troubles are better dealt with sooner rather than later!’
The thought of leaving the Qin Family, moving to this dilapidated little courtyard, and being humiliated and beaten by Qin Shisan made the Innate Purple Qi within Qin Li’s body begin to stir restlessly.
Listening to the extremely faint breathing outside, Qin Li lay on his bed and began to breathe long and evenly, making it sound as if he were fast asleep.
The wooden window made a soft sound, as if struck by a sudden gust of wind, and then disintegrated into a pile of fine powder! Qin Li couldn’t help but be secretly shocked. ’So this is the power of an Earth Level expert! Truly formidable!’
A figure leaped in lightly, reaching Qin Li’s bedside in a few steps. Looking down at the "sleeping" Qin Li, he couldn’t help but let out a soft, cold sneer. "If the Young Master hadn’t ordered me not to kill you, This Thirteenth Master would have taken your worthless life long ago! Hmph!"
Qin Shisan had been confident in his methods, but he had no idea how that kid Qin Li could be so resilient. Just a few days later, he had joined an adventuring group and gone into the mountains! And he’d even stirred up huge trouble. If not for that powerful old bastard Shangguan Tie, the Qin Family might have been implicated.
Thirteen years ago, because of this little bastard, the Qin Family missed the chance to become relatives of the imperial family. Thirteen years later, it was because of him again that they nearly offended the extremely powerful Chief Eunuch, Eunuch Li, from the imperial palace! Therefore, everyone in the Qin Family, from top to bottom, deeply despised Qin Li, this shameful illegitimate son.
Qin Shisan’s purpose for coming today was simple: to completely destroy several of Qin Li’s vital acupoints and turn him into a cripple, lest he cause any more trouble. These were the Young Master’s exact words. Although Qin Shisan, an Earth Level expert, was somewhat reluctant to carry out such a despicable task, he couldn’t defy a direct order. Besides, deep down, he was the type of person who enjoyed bullying the weak! As for the demeanor of an expert? In Qin Shisan’s eyes, it was utter bullshit!
"Kid, don’t blame me..."
"Don’t worry, I don’t blame you. But you’d better not blame me, either!" a low, youthful voice suddenly rang out. At the same time, Qin Shisan felt a sharp pain in his abdomen and couldn’t help but let out a low, pained cry.
"You dare trick me!" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
Shocked and enraged, Qin Shisan raised his hand and viciously chopped down at Qin Li with a palm strike. He had already cultivated the Qin Family’s Blade Palm Technique to its highest level. If this strike landed, it could slice a person in two!
Just after smashing a fist into Qin Shisan’s stomach, Qin Li’s already coiled leg shot out, kicking viciously toward Qin Shisan’s groin.
"Go be a eunuch!" Qin Li roared furiously.
