Chapter 339: Traveling Together

“Obsessed?” Lan Feixue said.

“Yes, obsessed.” The white-haired man sneered and said:

“They think they can be superior in the old Jianghu of survival of the fittest?”

“In reality, without connections, without good knees, without knowing how to sweet-talk people, they wouldn’t even be qualified to be dogs.”

“Not even qualified to be dogs!” The white-haired man repeated meaningfully, with emotions that Lan Feixue couldn’t understand.

It was like indignation, like sentiment, like helplessness, and something else.

The new Jianghu, no matter how many flaws it had, treated people as human beings, he could naturally sense that.

“That’s because they don’t have a good cultivation technique, that is the 《Northern Darkness Divine Technique》!” Lan Feixue said confidently.

The white-haired man looked at the confident youth and said: “A single cultivation technique can change one’s fate against the heavens, how could it be that simple?”

If it were that simple, the Jianghu wouldn’t be the Jianghu.

“The 《Northern Darkness Divine Technique》 is different from other techniques, it can absorb other people’s True Qi and transform it into one’s own.” Lan Feixue looked at the white-haired man and said:

“It is precisely by relying on the 《Northern Darkness Divine Technique》 and the ideals of the Heaven’s Path that we can resist the new Jianghu.”

“If Brother Zhan is interested, I can offer the 《Northern Darkness Divine Technique》 to you with both hands.” Lan Feixue said.

The 《Northern Darkness Divine Technique》 was created by him, so naturally, he had left a backdoor in the technique.

Anyone who cultivated the 《Northern Darkness Divine Technique》 he taught would be countered by the 《Northern Darkness Divine Technique》 he practiced himself. Once they fought him, the True Qi others painstakingly absorbed would be absorbed by him.

What’s even better is that the True Qi absorbed and transformed by others, when he absorbed it again, would become purer and easier for him to improve his own cultivation!

Relying on the 《Northern Darkness Divine Technique》, he not only firmly controlled the Freedom Heaven Path, but also became a Zhoutian martial artist, and could break through to the True Realm soon.

Although he only appeared to have Qi Sea cultivation, it was just to match his age.

After all, who would be wary of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old youth with only Qi Sea cultivation?

Who would have thought that he was the mastermind behind the Heaven’s Path organization?

Only by pretending to be weak can you devour the strong!

Just like now, he offered the 《Northern Darkness Divine Technique》 to the white-haired man with both hands. With the white-haired man’s cultivation, he definitely wouldn’t be wary of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old youth.

This was the confidence of an expert.

But when the white-haired man heard that Lan Feixue was going to offer the 《Northern Darkness Divine Technique》 with both hands, he couldn’t help but chuckle.

Who was he?

He was Zhan Yunfan, who had managed the Three Talents Manor for the Hua Family of the Central Plains Demon Sect in the first half of his life!

What kind of place was the Three Talents Manor?

On the surface, it was filled with uncracked martial arts manuals for anyone to view, but in reality, it contained Grand Medicine techniques, waiting for people to discover and practice them themselves.

Having people research, crack, and practice Grand Medicine techniques was far superior to this youth offering the 《Northern Darkness Divine Technique》 with both hands.

What was absorbing other people’s True Qi and transforming it into one’s own?

Other people’s True Qi carried their own will, could there be no side effects from devouring it?

Once you learned it, there might be side effects that would restrict you.

The survival rule of the old Jianghu was to never cultivate unfamiliar martial arts manuals.

Was this youth treating him like a fool?

If this were the old Jianghu, Zhan Yunfan would have slapped him with a palm already.

Now, in the new Jianghu, killing was against the law.

He was too lazy to care about this youth, too lazy to care about the Jianghu.

So he waved his hand and said: “Go find yourself a room to sleep in, let’s pretend we never met.”

After saying that, he left alone and went to the courtyard to watch the snow, leaving Lan Feixue behind.

What was wrong?

What did he say wrong?

Lan Feixue watched Zhan Yunfan suddenly change his face, not knowing what was going on.

“Brother Zhan? Did I do something wrong?” Lan Feixue quickly asked, seeing Zhan Yunfan’s attitude.

Zhan Yunfan didn’t pay attention to him, just continued sitting on the rocking chair under the eaves, humming a tune Lan Feixue couldn’t understand as the chair creaked.

Seeing this, Lan Feixue knew it wasn’t the right time to talk.

✿✿✿

He went to a side room and found a place to rest.

Although it was called a side room, it was actually a storage room. It was just tidied up neatly and had an old bed.

The bed was covered with straw.

Lan Feixue didn’t mind, with his Zhoutian cultivation, he naturally wouldn’t feel the cold wind and snow. He was staying for the night, really just to sleep. Trying to fool Zhan Yunfan was purely accidental.

The days and nights of running for his life had made him feel a little tired.

Listening to the sound of the wind and snow howling outside the door, Lan Feixue thought hazily.

Sigh, when would these days of being hunted down end?

When could he become superior?

The next day, as soon as Lan Feixue woke up, he heard Zhan Yunfan talking to himself outside.

“A true man, living between heaven and earth, how can he be content to remain beneath others…”

“Haha… living between heaven and earth… remain beneath others…”

“Success and failure are fleeting. The green hills remain, the setting sun shines again and again. Again and again…”

His tone unconsciously revealed loneliness and unwillingness.

This old guy had a story!

And someone with a story could be fooled!

Lan Feixue felt he should try again. After getting up and tidying himself up, he pushed open the door.

“Good morning, Brother Zhan!” Lan Feixue greeted Zhan Yunfan, who was sitting in the rocking chair, cupping his fists.

Zhan Yunfan didn’t look at him, just continued staring at the heavy snow falling from the sky.

The snow had fallen all night, and the snow had accumulated quite thick.

Lan Feixue felt a little awkward, this old man looked down on him so much, it was outrageous!

If it weren’t for this old man’s unfathomable cultivation, he really wanted to absorb all his cultivation!

“Leave!”

Just as Lan Feixue was feeling awkward, he suddenly heard Zhan Yunfan say.

“Then I’ll take my leave!” Lan Feixue said to Zhan Yunfan.

Since he was being told to leave, he couldn’t shamelessly stay.

Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, you old geezer, just you wait!

Zhan Yunfan waved his hand at him, signaling him to leave on his own.

He neither tried to keep him nor got up to see him off.

His attitude was self-evident.

Lan Feixue stepped on the snow, making a crunching sound, as he left the farm.

Making him travel in such heavy snow, how did he offend Zhan Yunfan?

He couldn’t figure it out.

He clearly started by resonating with others through words, then passed on his technique, and everyone else would bow down in gratitude. How come with this guy, it only caused displeasure?

What was the easiest way to make someone dislike you?

It was… being in the same profession!

Lan Feixue, after a bold guess, figured out Zhan Yunfan’s identity!

This old man definitely didn’t do anything good in his youth, he wasn’t a good person!

Why did the new Jianghu still have such people?

With such people in the same profession, how could he become superior?

Only when everyone else was a fool could he become superior!
