Chapter 19

Lin Changqing carefully read the cultivation technique from beginning to end.

The words in this world were basically the same as the traditional Chinese words that Lin Changqing knew. His predecessor had used various methods to recognize some words. When the two were combined, Lin Changqing could recognize the words on the cultivation technique.

It was unknown where the young bandit leader had gotten this cultivation technique from, but it was different from the Heaven Gate Saber Technique that Lin Changqing had learned. It was the complete version.

Looking at the introduction, the focus of this cultivation technique was saber techniques and martial techniques. The accompanying cultivation technique could also be cultivated to the advanced level of Qi Refinement.

What made Lin Changqing scratch his head was that he knew all the words on the cultivation technique and could roughly understand the accompanying pictures. However, there were still many things he didn’t understand about how to cultivate it.

This was like when Lin Changqing was in junior high school and got an advanced mathematics textbook from a university. He knew the words, but if he wanted to answer a question, he wouldn’t be able to do it even if his head was scratched.

“Cheng Lihu taught me this Heaven Gate Saber Technique step by step. I learned it by rote. Cheng Lihu only taught me some basic knowledge of martial arts cultivation. I don’t understand many of the professional knowledge.

“It’s indeed a little difficult to self-learn a cultivation technique now. Right now, I’m going to study step by step. I don’t know if there’s such an opportunity, but I can’t afford to wait. Looks like I have to find another way.”

Lin Changqing first praised the quick-witted Little Green. He knew that a pet that took the initiative to benefit its master was worthy of great praise. His predecessor had long understood that this world was about competition. If he had not fought hard for that mouthful of food since he was young, he would have starved to death long ago.

Lin Changqing had personally experienced a few things after transmigrating, making him feel very insecure. As long as it was something that was helpful to increasing his strength, he had to work hard to fight for it.

Lin Changqing rolled up the Cangwu Saber Technique again. The Broken Net that had been accumulating energy for several days appeared in his hand. He pressed the Broken Net and caught the cultivation technique scroll.

Under Lin Changqing’s nervous gaze, the cultivation technique scroll did not move at all. The broken net released the cultivation technique scroll and returned to his sea of consciousness.

The capture this time had failed.

“As expected, it’s not that easy. I wasted a few days of accumulation.”

Lin Changqing’s idea of capturing the cultivation technique as a pet had failed.

“Does the cultivation method not have any spirituality? Or is the level of the cultivation method too high? Or did I not play with it for long and not get tainted by my aura?”

Every time Lin Changqing captured it, he would summarize his experience.

Lin Changqing found a piece of cloth and wrapped the cultivation technique again, keeping it close to his body. If this thing was discovered, it would be fatal.

The next day, Cheng Lihu sent someone to look for Lin Changqing. When Lin Changqing saw Cheng Lihu, Cheng Lihu was all smiles. His injuries had basically recovered. “Changqing, come and sit. I have good news for you! This time, we wiped out all the horse bandits who provoked us. It greatly made our gang famous. Gang Master is very happy.

“I’ve done you a great service. After Gang Master found out about your situation, he personally asked about Leader Lu’s murder. In front of Deputy Gang Master Lu and Manager Fan, he removed your identity as a suspect on the spot. You’ll be free from now on.”

Cheng Lihu gave Lin Changqing a surprise the moment they met.

“Thank you, Hallist!” Lin Changqing immediately stood up and bowed respectfully, thanking him sincerely. If Cheng Lihu did not help him, although he might not lose his life now, he would definitely be on the path of escape.

Lin Changqing remembered Cheng Lihu’s kindness in his heart. As long as Cheng Lihu’s intentions did not involve his fundamental interests, he would do his best to help.

The reason why Lin Changqing had always thought that Cheng Lihu had ulterior motives was because of the influence of his predecessor. His predecessor did not believe that there were selfless good people in this world. The people he met did everything with ulterior motives.

His predecessor’s way of thinking was a little extreme, but he was always cautious and suspicious. It was indeed the best way to survive in this world.

“Legally speaking, your identity as a suspect has been removed. However, no one can predict what will happen in private. You have to be more careful in the future. You’re qualified to join the White Tiger Hall now. I’ll record your name in the White Tiger Hall. If you need anything, you can continue to stay in the White Tiger Hall.

“But at the same time, I have to tell you that a sapling that hasn’t experienced wind and rain can’t grow stronger. Think about these things yourself. Also, I have to remind you that Leader Lu and Deputy Gang Master Lu are from the Lu family, which is a big family in the county. The government has to be polite to these large clans.”

Cheng Lihu provided Lin Changqing with some very important information.

“Thank you for your advice, Hallist. I will be careful. It’s been a long time since I went back to take care of Elder Zhao’s courtyard. I’ll move back today.”

Lin Changqing thought about it and made a decision. Although it was safer to stay in the White Tiger Hall, it was very inconvenient to do things. If he wanted to quickly increase his strength, he had to leave this comfortable place.

“It’s good to go back.”

Cheng Lihu did not object to Lin Changqing’s choice.

In the end, Cheng Lihu personally brought the White Tiger Hall’s saber, clothes, identity token, and other items to Lin Changqing. At the same time, he also gave him a banknote worth a hundred taels of silver and a few silver ingots.

“I’ll leave our White Tiger Hall’s wolfhound to you. Take this silver first. That guy eats a lot of meat. You can’t afford to raise him. Try your best to report to White Tiger Hall every day. If you participate more in White Tiger Hall and the gang’s missions, you can accumulate contribution points from the gang.

“You can exchange gang contributions for gang benefits. You can also exchange money, status, martial arts cultivation techniques, and so on. Other than helping you change your Heaven Gate Saber Technique, your contributions in the previous missions were used to help you remove your suspect identity.

“From today onwards, you can start over as a member of the White Tiger Hall.”

Cheng Lihu gave Lin Changqing some instructions before letting him go back.

—————–

Lin Changqing returned to his residence with his things. He changed into the clothes of the White Tiger Hall and packed up. Then, he left the Knife Gang with Little Tiger and Little Green and returned to the small courtyard in the slums.

Along the way, Lin Changqing’s tall and huge dog was even more intimidating than the White Tiger Hall’s insignia on his body. This made him the center of attention on the way. When he was moving with the gang members, it was not too eye-catching to bring Little Green along. Now that he was alone with Little Green, it was hard not to attract attention.

“It’s too eye-catching to have a ferocious beast as a pet. What if I have too many pets in the future? This lousy net can capture pets, but can’t it bring a pet space or something?” Lin Changqing thought greedily.

“I wonder if there are spatial equipment items in this world. If there are, I can capture one and turn it into a pet. Its talent is worth looking forward to. Animals and plants that already have spatial characteristics are also fine. After being captured and strengthened by the broken net, the ordinary talent will also undergo a magical change.”

Lin Changqing thought along the way and returned to the small courtyard that he had not seen for a long time.
