Chapter 11: I'm Right (Part 1)

  In the past when he was with the master, the master didn't teach Qin Yifan much about the concept of cultivating Taoism. He just let him know that in the eyes of those who cultivate Taoism, martial artists are in an embarrassing position. And made him understand that at his age, he had already broken through his childhood and learned the rubbish martial skills from the army, actually missing a great opportunity.

  Most of the time, the master is in a compassionate and benevolent image to persuade him to be kind-hearted, put down his butcher knife, and become a Buddha on the spot. Perhaps Qin Yifan was indeed too cruel in the past, and the killing aura on his body could penetrate through his skin. After the master's teachings for several months, although he couldn't make Qin Yifan give up his decision to put down his butcher knife from the bottom of his heart, it was extremely useful in dispelling the killing aura on his body. This is also why most people in recent years think he is a kind and simple mountain dweller.

  It's not that Qin Yifan can pretend to be this image, it's just that his later life has nothing to do with killing, who doesn't want a peaceful life? Who likes to live in constant fear? Qin Yifan is no exception. However, the quiet life did not completely extinguish his passion, and the daily struggle and honing with the unknown demon in the lake have become a part of his life.

  Two people suddenly came, definitely a group, now it's not clear what the situation is. However, one thing is certain, they are rushing to the old friend in Pugong Lake. Qin Yifan did not show any expression, at least he didn't think these two people could cause any trouble for that old partner.

  It seems that these two people are much more cautious than Lin Qiulü. Although they live in two rooms, at night they still gather in one of the rooms, as if to discuss some business matters. However, Qin Yifan can hear that they are planning to cultivate inside, but their actions are more stable, with one person cultivating and the other standing guard beside them.

  I don't know what kind of kung fu they are practicing, or what school of cultivation they belong to. They don't seem to be from a sword school, nor do they appear to be from those schools that focus on music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Without seeing it with his own eyes, Qin Yifan didn't know what they were doing, but he could be certain that they were cultivating.

  Lin Qiulü also had her doubts, but she didn't dare to make a move here. She had already suffered enough and as an ordinary person who didn't cultivate, she didn't have Qin Yifan's keen hearing to eavesdrop on the two people's conversation. Fortunately, Qin Yifan was like a loudspeaker, relaying the two people's words to Lin Qiulü without missing a single detail.

  "Senior brother, this place is indeed very strange, don't you feel that the aura has been affected?" This was the voice of the younger one.

  "It's strange, but we can't determine where that thing is yet. Try to see if you can withstand this evil energy first, it's very fierce! You protect me for now." An older voice.

  "Alright, senior brother!"

  ……

  "Not good......!"

  "Big brother, what's wrong?" The young voice was already filled with a sense of anxiety.

  "Three turns... still... Spirit Dan!" The senior brother seemed to have not lost his consciousness yet, and was intermittently instructing the junior brother to prepare the life-saving medicine.

  "Here, big brother!"

  ……

  As soon as Lin Qiulü heard the words "San Zhuan Ling Dan", she knew that these two people were disciples of the Dan Ding Sect. Qin Yifan had never heard of the name "Dan Ding Sect" in the Jianghu, so he still needed Lin Qiulü to explain.

  Dan Ding Men is a small sect in the cultivation world, with not many members and not particularly strong either. However, their cultivation method is to constantly refine pills to improve themselves, and sometimes their pills are indeed better than those of the same level from other sects, which makes them quite popular among other sects. This also means that although Dan Ding Men is not a particularly powerful sect, its disciples have a wide range of connections with almost all other sects having some kind of connection with Dan Ding Men.

  It seems that the struggle between righteousness and evil is not very clear-cut, and the Dan Ding Sect has always maintained an attitude of being both righteous and evil. The disciples under the sect have interacted with both the righteous and evil factions. Regardless of whether they are from the righteous or evil side, as long as they can provide effective spiritual medicine, they will not participate in the struggle between the two sides. Neither faction has ever made things difficult for the Dan Ding Sect. When the disciples of the Dan Ding Sect are active outside, everyone intentionally or unintentionally provides some convenience and does not make things difficult for them.

  They aren't a sect that specializes in refining instruments, nor are they a school that cultivates yin and evil. What interest would they have in the ominous energy here? Lin Qiulü didn't know, and Qin Yifan was even more unclear. Anyway, as long as they don't cause trouble here again, whatever they do is fine!

  The next morning, Qin Yifan saw the two of them in the inn. The older one, who claimed to be a master of collecting medicinal herbs, looked very bad, pale and weak.

  "Is this gentleman unwell?" Qin Yifan asked knowingly, looking at his pale-faced Shixiong, pretending to be enthusiastic and pointing: "There is no doctor here, if you are not feeling well, it's best to go to the county town to see a doctor, otherwise, you won't survive here."

  Qin Yifan's words made the two of them look at each other thoughtfully, and then, Shixiong immediately showed a warm smile and sat down beside Qin Yifan: "Boss, I'd like to ask about the local customs here, is it convenient?"

  "Hey, it's been a long time since anyone has come here, you two are rare guests. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, and let's not talk about what's convenient or not." Qin Yifan chuckled and sat down. The two of them seemed to have picked up on something from Qin Yifan's words and also sat down beside him.

  Lin Qiulü brought over several tea cups and a teapot, looking like a diligent servant. The two men looked up at Lin Qiulü, thanked her, then seemed to ignore her as they poured tea for Qin Yifan, filled their own cups, and handed the teapot to the younger brother before smiling and asking: "Boss, is it often that there are no customers here?"

  "You don't seem to have walked this road much, is it your first time here?" Qin Yifan asked slowly and leisurely after taking a sip of tea.

  "Yes, we brothers are also here for the first time. We heard that this place has high mountains and dense forests, and there are some good medicinal materials and fur goods, so we came specially." Following Qin Yifan's words, Shixiong continued: "My surname is Zhang, he is my fellow countryman, his surname is Li, you can call me Old Zhang, and call him Little Li."

  "Alright, alright." Qin Yifan nodded his head slightly.

  "Shopkeeper, can you tell me if there have been any strange changes around here recently that are different from before?" After exchanging pleasantries with Qin Yifan for a while, Master Zhang calmly steered the conversation to this topic.
