Invincible cultivation strengthens: my son is a troublemaker-Chapter 88: Master Meets Father! (Third Update)
Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Master Meets Father! (Third Update)
After everything was over, Qin Chuan took Qin Zi back to the Seven Martial Sect.
Before returning, he made another trip to the Alchemy Master Association, and amidst the desperate looks of the Alchemy Masters, he managed to fleece quite a bit from them.
He gradually realized that he really didn’t seem to lack money, and before he knew it, he had grown wealthy.
Moreover, it seemed like he didn’t need to spend money either.
Because he wasn’t interested in anything money could buy, and it seemed no one dared to ask him for money for daily expenses either.
Money had become like dirt.
Seven Martial Sect, by the cliffside.
Qin Chuan sat cross-legged on a large boulder with his adopted son, feeling the profound tranquility while the mountain wind blew.
"What do you feel?"
Qin Chuan asked inscrutably.
"I... I feel like there’s something profound amid the tranquility, something I seem to grasp, but also can’t quite catch hold of."
Qin Zi blinked and said uncertainly.
In truth, he didn’t feel anything, but he didn’t want to disappoint his father, so he pretended to understand.
But after saying it, on closer reflection, there actually did seem to be a faint feeling...
"Hmm, you are teachable. Take your time. Once you grasp that feeling, you’ll gain greatly."
Qin Chuan smiled mysteriously.
In fact, he was just bluffing.
But something as intangible as tranquility could be entirely abstract and nonsensical, and he could say whatever he wanted.
If you couldn’t sense it, it was because your skills were insufficient; if you really understood something... then it was thanks to his good guidance~
"Yes, father, I won’t let you down!"
Qin Zi declared with firm conviction.
Qin Chuan nodded with satisfaction, feeling he had set the stage enough, creating an aura of profound inscrutability, so he began to speak about serious matters.
"Xiao Zi, father needs to go into seclusion to recover for a while."
He said seriously.
"Father, aren’t your injuries healed? Weren’t you pretending?" Qin Zi was slightly shocked, then became nervous.
"The physical injuries are healed, but the Great Dao injuries have recurred. If not handled well, it might become severe."
Qin Chuan sighed and said, "I once told you before what happens if you forcefully restore your cultivation. Do you remember?" freewebnøvel_com
Qin Zi thought for a moment, then his body suddenly trembled!
He suddenly remembered.
When leaving Xunyang City for Minghao City, his father had told him that recovery of cultivation takes time, and if forced too much, it would damage the foundation!!
"Seems you remembered." Qin Chuan smiled gently.
Qin Zi pursed his lips, lowered his head shamefully, and said in a low voice, "Father, I’m sorry."
This matter, his father had told him long ago, but he didn’t take it to heart.
All this time, he only recklessly caused trouble without ever caring if his father would get hurt!
"What are you saying?"
Qin Chuan ruffled his hair, saying, "As long as you didn’t do wrong, no matter what enemies you provoke, father will protect you, even if it means risking everything, so what if some foundation is damaged?"
Qin Zi’s body trembled, a warm feeling flowed through his heart, and his eyes became a little wet.
How lucky he was in this life to have such a loving father!
Seeing the expression on his adopted son’s face, Qin Chuan immediately knew that his goal was achieved.
What bad intentions could he have?
He was merely subtly reminding his son that recovering his cultivation required a price!
So next time, if he was knocked down, his son wouldn’t directly doubt if this invincible strongman was fake, and would first think that recovery comes at a price or needs some preparation time...
Directly resolving hidden concerns!!
As for telling his son he was intentionally injured this time, it was mainly because of... the bald elder!!
Before he appeared, he had already told the bald elder that he would pretend to be injured to test his son’s courage, and let the bald elder protect his son.
The reason for doing this.
On one hand:
The reason of "forcing cultivation improvement damages the foundation" couldn’t be told to the bald elder because once you reveal your weakness, anyone might put you to death!!
So, he needed to maintain a strong image in front of the bald elder, and since he really couldn’t beat the white-haired youth, he had to use the excuse of "pretending to be injured" to cover up with the bald elder.
On the other hand:
He needed to use the bald elder to protect Qin Zi, because the system’s rule was that if someone had killing intent towards Qin Zi, his cultivation would improve.
A Supreme Realm expert might not have much emotion, let alone killing intent if you insult him, but he could casually slap you dead like swatting a fly.
If no one protected Qin Zi, he would be slapped dead by the white-haired youth’s instinct as soon as he finished the first sentence of provocation, without even arousing killing intent.
It would be a pointless death.
So, he had the bald elder protect Qin Zi to ensure his verbal provocations successfully incited the white-haired youth’s killing intent.
By doing so, he managed to fool the bald elder under the guise of "training his courage" and proved the authenticity of his "training plan" with the bald elder as an "accomplice".
He used Qin Zi to fool the bald elder and also used the bald elder to fool Qin Zi, perfectly resolving various issues.
Although it was a bit convoluted, his cultivation level was immediately raised to Supreme Second Realm, so it was worth it.
"Father, my mentor wants to meet you."
Suddenly, Qin Zi said hesitantly.
"Your mentor?"
Qin Chuan was slightly surprised, then straightened up and took a deep breath to tighten his abdomen.
Because only by doing so could he ensure that no matter what he saw, he could maintain a facade of calm.
At least, he wouldn’t spit out in surprise or gasp in astonishment, appearing unworldly.
Moreover, he quickly imagined various character images in his mind—a Daoist with an immortal aura, a sloppy drunkard, a lewd old fat man, a handsome young man, an eccentric little girl...
Men and women, old and young, of all shapes and sizes, even half-human, half-beast figures; he even imagined a Japanese female teacher!
Because only by preparing mentally could he handle whatever appearance Qin Zi’s mentor had, without the slightest flinch in his expression.
He had to achieve this!
Because if he showed any surprise or astonishment in front of Qin Zi’s mentor, then his identity as a strongman would be questionable.
After all, he had long held a "spiritual connection" with Qin Zi’s mentor, often throwing meaningful glances at Qin Zi’s ring...
If by then he was shocked by Qin Zi’s mentor’s appearance, she would definitely think— you keep giving me flirty looks, I thought you could see me through the ring, turns out you can’t!!
Can’t even see through a mere Imperial Artifact level space ring, invincible strongman, you’re fooling a ghost here? Bah!!
"Father, is it not okay?"
Qin Zi saw his father hesitate for a moment and thought he was unwilling, so he became a bit worried.
After all, a refusal here would be embarrassing for his mentor, and he would feel guilty.
"Haha, how could that be?"
Qin Chuan snapped out of it, smiled and shook his head, "It’s just that it’s the first meeting, and I haven’t prepared any gifts. I’m afraid of being discourteous to your mentor."
"No need for that!"
At this moment, a flustered female voice sounded, a bit unsure and slightly shy.
Qin Chuan’s brow twitched!
A woman?!
His taut abdomen suddenly tensed, then instantly relaxed, calmly raising his head to look ahead.
"Buzz!"
From the ground, golden light, like countless grains of sand, spiraled upwards and slowly fell.
A golden-haired woman, wearing a luxurious gown and exuding elegance and nobility, emerged in the light. Her small, white hands lifted her skirt slightly, as she lowered her head, appearing somewhat nervous.
