Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World

Chapter 2137: Invited By an Old Man

“Uncle, if I give you these things, will you teach me?”

Long San’s action of using Zhao Hai’s gift to pay Zhao Hai immediately caused everyone to laugh. These were originally Zhao Hai’s things, now Long San wants to give them back to Zhao Hai. Only a child like Long San could think of this.

Hearing Long San, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but laugh as well. Then he said, “There’s no need to give anything. But if I teach you, you need to study it well. Understood?”

Long San nodded and said, “Alright. Long San will study properly.”

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and then raised his hand. The fist technique used by Long San can be used to lay the foundation to learn the fist techniques of the True Spirit Realm. It was nothing special, Zhao Hai can learn it in just one glance. It was precisely because of this that the clan allowed others to watch the children practice.

After raising his hand, Zhao Hai said to Long San, “Long San, when you use this pose, you have to take a deep breath. Then when you punch, you have to exhale. At the same time, you shout. Ha!”

As he said that, Zhao Hai curled his hand into a fist and then punched out. At the same time, he shouted. Then Zhao Hai explained to Long San when to inhale and then when to exhale. In order to make Long San understand more, Zhao Hai used a sound to inhale and then shouting ‘Ha!’ when he exhaled. 

Long San looked interested at Zhao Hai’s shouts. His eyes couldn’t help but light up in anticipation. After Zhao Hai was finished, he looked at Long San and said, “Now you try.”

Long San nodded and began to punch. However, he still couldn’t get a grasp on when to inhale and exhale. Zhao Hai guided him through the routing.

The other children were also interested in Long San’s practice. They were the same group who practiced. This became convenient for Zhao Hai as he could teach all of the children together.

The adults were also watched as Zhao Hai guided the children to practice martial arts as though they were playing. They didn’t mind it too much. Some parents were even joking around and giggling at their kid.

But upon seeing the enthusiasm of the children, some parents couldn’t sit still. Their children had always been practicing martial arts as though it was a chore. This kind of mentality wouldn’t benefit the children. Thus, they didn’t stop Zhao Hai. They quietly left and returned home. They practiced according to Zhao Hai’s method to see if there were any danger to the children. If there was no danger, then there’s no problem allowing the children to practice according to Zhao Hai’s method. At the very least, it looked beneficial.

When the parents returned to their homes and practiced Zhao Hai’s method, they were shocked. If they practiced according to Zhao Hai’s method, they would unconsciously use their spiritual qi in conjunction with the fist technique. They couldn’t help but be amazed at the power of their punches. Their fist increased by at least one part. Moreover, the amount of spiritual qi they used was a layer less than normal.

This discovery greatly surprised the parents. They didn’t expect to learn from this encounter. Adjusting one’s breath could actually have such an effect. 

Before long, those who went home secretly returned to the small square. They looked at Zhao Hai with complicated gazes. They couldn’t understand how such a simple breathing change could have a huge change in their punch.

As for the children, they discovered that if they followed Zhao Hai’s instructions, they weren’t as tired as before. On the contrary, they were having fun shouting with each punch.

All of a sudden, an old man white hair and beard arrived beside Zhao Hai. He cupped his fist and said, “Little Brother, how about accompanying this old man for a while?”

Zhao Hai hurriedly returned the greeting to the old man, “Old Master is too polite. It would be my honor.” After saying that, he smiled at the children and said, “Alright, you can all go home. Don’t forget to practice what I told you.” The children obviously knew the old man. When they heard Zhao Hai, they cupped their fist to the old man and then scattered.

Zhao Hai turned to the old man and cupped his fist, “Old Master, let’s go.” The old man patiently waited for Zhao Hai to settle the children first. When Zhao Hai turned towards him, the old man smiled and said, “Come with me.” After he said that, he led Zhao Hai to the side.

Before long, the two arrived in an ordinary courtyard. The gate of the courtyard was wide open, and its ground was paved with cyan stone. On the corner of the yard was a stone table and chair. At this time, there was a pot of tea on the table as well as fruits and dried meat.

The old man invited Zhao Hai to sit down on the stone chair. Then he cupped his fist towards Zhao Hai and said, “This old man is a bit muddled. When did little brother arrive in Coiling Dragon City?”

Zhao Hai quickly replied, “I came to the city with Chen Feng, the Shopkeeper of the Full Moon Pavilion in Roaring Flame City. We just arrived today. If it wasn’t for the Old Master, I wouldn’t know that this place is called Coiling Dragon City.”

Hearing Zhao Hai, the old man nodded and said, “So it’s Chen Feng. I know that kid. Although his cultivation is lacking, he’s an expert in business. What relationship does little brother have with Chen Feng?”

Zhao Hai shook his head and said, “We don’t know each other that long. I originally came out for a trial and met a group of cultivators from Roaring Flame City. They formed a small gang to help their neighborhood. I saw that their character is good, so I joined the gang. I didn’t expect the Gang Leader to know Shopkeeper Chen. And through certain events, I got to know Shopkeeper Chen. Then he took me here to experience the city. I hope Old Master won’t blame Shopkeeper Chen.”

Hearing Zhao Hai, a flash of light went through the old man’s eyes, “From what I can hear, little brother is from a Great Sect? Did you teach your sect’s method to the children?”

Zhao Hai shook his head, “It’s not the sect’s methods. What I taught are all methods I thought up myself.”

The old man nodded; he didn’t ask which sect Zhao Hai came from. It was clear that Zhao Hai wasn’t planning on telling him.

The old man looked at Zhao Hai and said, “This old man wants to ask you to be a teacher to the children. Are you willing to agree?”

Zhao Hai stared, he didn’t expect the old man to suddenly say this. He hesitated for a while and said, “I’ll be honest to Old Master, I have no problems teaching. But as you know, I belong to a sect. I need to do tasks for the sect and look after it. I’m afraid I have no time to teach the children.”

The old man looked at Zhao Hai and smiled faintly, “Little Brother isn’t afraid that he doesn’t have enough time, you’re afraid of the clan having conflict with your sect. Am I right?”

Zhao Hai just smiled and didn’t speak. Looking at Zhao Hai’s expression, the old man continued, “Little Brother, don’t worry. Our Long Clan has no conflict with any of the powers. The various sects also know about the existence of the Long Clan. No matter where you came from, you won’t be an enemy to our clan. You can rest assured.”

Hearing the old man’s words, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but stare. The old man’s message was full of information. No conflict with any powers? How was that possible? If they didn’t have any conflict with anyone, it’s only one of two things. It was that they were so strong that no sect dared to provoke them, and the second is that they were too weak to take notice of. It was obvious that the second option wasn’t possible.

Zhao Hai could see the strength of the Long Clan. Not to mention the clan itself, the people walking around the city was evidence enough of the clan’s power. Zhao Hai knew that the Long Clan wasn’t weak enough for someone to bully. Then this only leaves one explanation, the Long Clan was too strong for other powers to offend them.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but frown, then he said, “I hope Old Master can forgive me. But I cannot promise you anything.”

The old man smiled and said, “Little brother is too polite. It’s normal for you to hesitate. This old man has caught you off guard. By the way, did you say that you came up with the breathing method yourself? Does your sect know about this? Have you thought about teaching this method to your sect?”

Zhao Hai smiled and said, “I won’t hide it from Old Master. I haven’t passed this method yet. Only my unofficial disciple has learned this method. Since I observed that my disciple was having good results, I decided to teach the children as well.”

The old man nodded, “I see. Thank you for that. You helped us a lot today. Our Long Clan naturally wouldn’t treat you unjustly. We will pay you back in the future. But now, let this old man treat you to a meal. I don’t know if little brother can give me this bit of face?”

Hearing the old man, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but smile, “I can’t ask for anything else. I don’t have other hobbies aside from eating food. I haven’t eaten much since arriving in the city. I’ll have to bother the Old Master today.”

The old man appeared happy when he heard Zhao Hai. He laughed and said, “Alright, that’s good. Little Brother, come with me.” After saying that, he stood up and made a gesture of invitation to Zhao Hai.

Zhao Hai quickly stood up and cupped his fist towards the old man. Then the two walked out. Zhao Hai was neither anxious nor bored through the whole process. He also wasn’t arrogant nor too humble. This gave the old man a good impression of him.

Not long after leaving the courtyard, the two arrived in a restaurant in Coiling Dragon City. The restaurant wasn’t very big, but it was very clean and well-kept.
