The silhouette of the shelter gradually ca into view.
The Master’s wife went to the side of the waterfall, busy with breakfast... There was still so at left over from yesterday.
In the afternoon, Qin Fang announced he was going "bee fishing," and his Master and Senior Brother decided to go with him.
After setting aside a portion of pork, Qin Fang took out his poison and injected it using a Poison Needle.
During this process, they saw the needle bag Qin Fang used for his Poison Needles... Inside were a good twenty or thirty Poisonous Thorns.
This was the fruit of Qin Fang’s labor during this ti.
...When he killed An Changyu, Qin Fang had used three Poisonous Thorns. Those thorns were eventually found by the people at the Governnt Office Entrance. His Senior Brother had seen them too. Afterward, they had tested the poison on animals and were terrified by its potency.
Seeing Qin Fang carrying so many now, his Senior Brother’s heart couldn’t help but tighten.
Once the bait was ready, Qin Fang went into the mountains to find so tree bark. He twisted it into a rope over fifty ters long, then headed up the mountain with his Master and Senior Brother to start fishing for bees.
...Their luck was quite good this ti. They managed to lure out a total of three bees.
This ti, his Master and Senior Brother didn’t intervene. They just observed Qin Fang’s bee-fishing process from the side.
Then, when they saw him use Darts to kill the Giant Bee, the two of them exchanged a look...
...Qin Fang’s mastery of this Hidden Weapon technique was truly stunning.
After it was over, Qin Fang jumped onto the platform, tied up the Giant Bee, and hauled it up. It was the first ti his Master and Senior Brother had seen a Giant Bee up close, and they were once again shocked by its imnse size.
They were especially stunned to see the Poison Needle on its tail, which was still dripping venom.
They didn’t process the Bee at until they were off Old Ox Back.
Seeing the Bee at for the first ti, his Master and Senior Brother were utterly astonished!
...After all, insects were usually filled with various kinds of tissue fluid. But this Giant Bee’s abdon contained such translucent white at... It was truly incredible!
Qin Fang imdiately gave a piece to his Master and Senior Brother, telling them to have a taste.
Without suspicion, the two of them ate it directly.
The mont it entered their mouths, their eyes lit up... The flavor was absolutely divine!
His Senior Brother, who had been downcast all day, couldn’t help but stare and exclaim, "You little rascal, you an you usually... eat this well?!"
Qin Fang just chuckled.
The taste of the Bee at was astounding.
Of course, its effects were even more astounding.
After processing the Giant Bee and burying the remaining parts, the three of them returned to the shelter.
Now that everyone was here, Qin Fang certainly wouldn’t be stingy. He took out the Bee at and let everyone have a taste.
Even Xile had a piece.
In an instant, the flavor of the Bee at had conquered nearly everyone!
This was especially true for the two girls. The mont they took a bite, their eyes lit up...
The Bee at had a rich, honey-like fragrance, yet it was sweet without being cloying. It was crisp, sweet, and delicious—truly a delicacy of the mortal world!
The power of delicious food can be quite astonishing sotis, reminding people of the good things in life.
After eating the Bee at, the atmosphere in the shelter was noticeably better than the day before. Everyone got back to work building the shelter...
anwhile, after chopping down a large pile of bamboo, Qin Fang planned to go get more supplies...
He had gotten so yesterday, but one person couldn’t carry much.
His Senior Brother offered to go with him, but Qin Fang told him to continue resting and recovering from his injuries.
Qin Fang left the shelter’s hidden bamboo forest and headed for Li Family Ao once more.
When he arrived, the villagers’ bodies had already begun to decompose. After all, it was still sumr, causing the entirety of Li Family Ao to be sward with flies and filled with a nauseating stench... Even more crows had gathered.
Qin Fang shook his head and focused on searching the larger houses, mainly looking for things like bedsheets and quilts.
...Autumn was approaching, and the weather would turn cold quickly. They were camped by a waterfall, and while it was convenient for getting water, it also ant the cold would set in faster.
It might not be a big problem for the n, but the Master’s wife and the two girls were still a bit weak. They would definitely need more clothing to get through the autumn and winter.
In the end, he returned to the shelter shouldering a massive bundle, nearly two ters high.
The Master’s wife and the two girls naturally took it from him and began to process the contents... washing what needed to be washed and nding what needed to be nded.
Ti trickled by quietly.
In the days that followed, the four youngsters began their preliminary martial arts training, following the Master in Standing Pile practice... Among them, the one with the most Talent was, surprisingly, Monkey’s younger sister.
Her na was Chen Qinghe.
However, while her Talent was decent, it naturally paled in comparison to a ’monster’ like Qin Fang, who had mastered the art after just two Standing Pile sessions.
But as they delved deeper into Standing Pile, the changes in their physical posture beca obvious... The Master told them they must pay attention to their posture in their daily lives as well, ideally feeling the changes of the Pile Skill at all tis. This would help them internalize the art.
...This caused them, who had all possessed so bad habits to varying degrees, to start standing with straight backs and their heads held high.
Although it felt a bit ’stiff’ and awkward, this was only temporary.
Once they truly mastered the art, this feeling of ’stiffness’ would gradually disappear and beco natural.
Watching their transformation, Qin Fang sighed inwardly... ’With my panel, I completely skipped this stage.’
anwhile, during this process, his Master and Senior Brother began to ask Qin Fang for guidance on Hidden Weapons.
...They couldn’t let Qin Fang do all the work for future bee-fishing trips.
But the Giant Bees were too dangerous. Without so form of Hidden Weapon skill, killing them would be very difficult.
Naturally, Qin Fang was not stingy with his guidance...
...The results proved that there was a reason why there were so few Experts in Hidden Weapons.
Even though both were Anjin masters with extraordinary Control over their Strength, it was probably wishful thinking to believe they could catch up to Qin Fang’s level in Hidden Weapons without several years of dedicated study.
Especially the advanced techniques...
...However, if it was just the basic techniques, it wasn’t a major problem.
They were Anjin masters, after all.
Within a few days, they could already accurately hit targets from ten to twenty ters away...
But their accuracy wasn’t consistent. Sotis they were spot on, other tis they were off...
They still needed a great deal of ti to practice and build muscle mory.
...This amazed Qin Fang.
’Without a doubt,’ he thought, ’the effect of the Eternal Dao Fruit is even more precious than I imagined.’
In the blink of an eye, more than twenty days had passed...
The shelter was now completely finished. They had even hung a door curtain, reducing the effects of the damp air from the waterfall to a minimum.
His Senior Brother had also fully recovered, though the injury on his shoulder hadn’t healed completely.
But he was getting restless. One day, he said, "I want to go to the county seat and see what the situation is now..."
For more than twenty days, they had been living here, cut off from the rest of the world.
After a mont of thought, his Master nodded. "It would be good to take a look..."
