Return of the Celestial King

Qin Tuo also understood deeply that he actually knew very little about the world of Cultivators.

Because of this, he would have to wait until the fifteenth of the eighth lunar month to visit Peach Blossom Island and find out the truth.

Only then would he be able to resolve the many doubts in his heart.

Zhu Zifeng suddenly asked, his face full of admiration:

"Mr. Qin, what is the cultivation method for Cultivators? I’m really curious. Could you tell me a little about it?"

As a Martial Artist, Zhu Zifeng was naturally very interested in the lofty and superior Cultivators.

And besides Qin Tuo, there was no one else he could ask.

Qin Tuo said slowly:

"The biggest difference between Cultivators and Martial Artists is that Martial Artists cultivate Qi Force, while we Cultivators cultivate Spiritual Power. Spiritual Power, in turn, is converted from Spiritual Qi. This Spiritual Qi is born from heaven and earth and is extremely rare. Whether one can embark on the path of cultivation is also a matter of fate."

Zhu Zifeng listened from the side, nodding repeatedly. It was only then that he understood. No wonder there were so few Cultivators.

If it weren’t for the scarcity of Spiritual Qi in the world, the number of Cultivators would probably be as great as the number of Martial Artists.

Qin Tuo continued:

"As for Warlocks... they are also related to Spiritual Qi. It’s just that they can only set up formations and cast spells, but they cannot convert Spiritual Qi into Spiritual Power for their own use."

After Qin Tuo finished his explanation, Zhu Zifeng had a moment of complete enlightenment, finally understanding how it all worked.

Deep down, his admiration for Qin Tuo grew even stronger.

He couldn’t help but ask nosily:

"Mr. Qin, it seems you must have already reached a very high realm, haven’t you?"

However, Qin Tuo simply shook his head and sighed.

"Actually, my own understanding is incomplete. I’m just fumbling my way forward on my own."

Hearing Qin Tuo say this, Zhu Zifeng nodded and didn’t ask anything further.

Just then, Zhu Zifeng waved to someone in the distance, calling Sun Liyi back over.

Sun Liyi walked over, a confused look on his face, not knowing what private matters Zhu Zifeng had just been discussing with Qin Tuo.

Zhu Zifeng’s expression turned serious as he said sternly:

"Listen carefully. From now on, Mr. Qin will have the final say in all matters concerning Medicine King Valley. If Mr. Qin is displeased, don’t blame me for coming after you!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Liyi was utterly astonished, unable to process what was happening.

Zhu Zifeng said in a low voice:

"What, you didn’t hear me clearly?"

Sun Liyi snapped back to his senses and nodded hurriedly.

"Yes, Second Young Master, I understand!"

Inside, however, he was deeply shaken. ’Just what is this Qin Tuo’s background? How could he make the entire Zhu Family bow their heads in submission?’

Sun Liyi completely made up his mind. From this day forward, he would never dare to provoke Qin Tuo again.

Qin Tuo hadn’t expected the Zhu Family to adopt such a humble attitude, which surprised him slightly.

However, Qin Tuo was also quite satisfied. With the Zhu Family going this far, it would be much more convenient for him to request medicinal ingredients in the future.

After giving his orders, Zhu Zifeng turned back with a fawning smile and said:

"Mr. Qin, if you have any requests in the future, please just say the word. Medicine King Valley will do everything in its power to satisfy you. We only hope that you can offer the Zhu Family some protection."

He looked expectant as he spoke.

Because up to this point, Qin Tuo had not yet revealed his stance.

Of course, Qin Tuo understood the principle of mutual benefit. He nodded and said:

"Don’t worry. Since your Zhu Family is so pragmatic, you can just come to me if you need anything in the future."

Upon getting Qin Tuo’s affirmation, Zhu Zifeng’s face was instantly filled with ecstatic joy!

His mission on this trip had been to get closer to Qin Tuo and secure his promise.

And now, it seemed this mission was a complete success.

Suddenly, Sun Liyi, who was standing to the side, looked as if he had remembered something, his face a mask of hesitation and conflict.

Zhu Zifeng noticed and asked in confusion:

"Oh, Valley Master Sun, is there something else?"

Sun Liyi recalled, saying:

"Second Young Master, you may not be aware, but on the night of the Martial Artist convention, our men discovered that Warlocks from the Blood Moon Pavilion had appeared at the venue!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Tuo frowned. He hadn’t expected those Blood Moon Pavilion bastards to be so persistent, even tracking things to the Martial Artist convention.

Zhu Zifeng couldn’t help but ask:

"What were the people from Blood Moon Pavilion doing there?"

With a somber face, Sun Liyi said slowly:

"After careful deduction, we believe it’s highly likely those Blood Moon Pavilion Warlocks were secretly investigating Mr. Qin’s every move. Otherwise, it couldn’t be such a coincidence."

Zhu Zifeng nodded, but then he snorted in disdain and said:

"The Blood Moon Pavilion has always been a hive of villainy, and we’ve tried not to meddle in their affairs. But this time, they don’t know what’s good for them, provoking Mr. Qin. They’re simply courting death!"

Sun Liyi also nodded heavily and snorted coldly.

"Blood Moon Pavilion has always been at odds with our Medicine King Valley, but to think they would dare to offend Mr. Qin this time... Second Young Master, what should we do?"

The master and servant pair said this intentionally to declare their stance before Qin Tuo, hoping to win his favor.

However, they didn’t know that in Qin Tuo’s eyes, the Blood Moon Pavilion was nothing at all!

Qin Tuo simply hadn’t had the time or energy to deliberately deal with the Blood Moon Pavilion. If those people really dared to come looking for trouble, they would just be seeking their own demise.

Zhu Zifeng thought for a moment, made a decision, and said:

"How about this: you dispatch men from Medicine King Valley and completely eradicate this Blood Moon Pavilion for me. We must prevent them from continuing to harass Mr. Qin!"

Sun Liyi nodded, ready to take action.

However, Qin Tuo waved his hand dismissively and said casually:

"That won’t be necessary. Stay out of this matter."

The two of them immediately shot him a questioning look, not understanding what Qin Tuo meant.

Then they heard Qin Tuo’s voice, as cold as if it had come from the depths of hell, as he said slowly:

"The Blood Moon Pavilion... I will destroy it myself. I don’t need Medicine King Valley, or anyone else, to interfere."

As his voice fell, both Zhu Zifeng and Sun Liyi couldn’t help but shudder, feeling the intense killing intent in Qin Tuo’s words.

They even felt a trace of pity for the Blood Moon Pavilion...

Afterward, Qin Tuo turned to Zhu Zifeng and said:

"I’ll have to trouble you to protect the two girls for the next few days. You must ensure that no harm comes to them."

The ones Qin Tuo was referring to were, of course, Chen Man Ni and Ouyang Feifei.

He knew that Zhu Zifeng was a Sixth-Grade Grandmaster, even stronger than Qiangwei.

With Zhu Zifeng protecting Chen Man Ni and Ouyang Feifei, Qin Tuo naturally didn’t need to worry too much.
