Chapter 980 Cultivation Immortality Manual
Yun Menghan stared at Qin Tian for a full minute.
At this moment, upon seeing Qin Tian's determined gaze, her initial urge to mock him was swallowed back.
"No need to return the favor. Since you have the intention, I'll give you a chance."
Yun Menghan's gaze also turned solemn. As she spoke, she took out a thin book from her clothing.
Strangely enough, although Yun Menghan's clothes were wet, the book she pulled out was dry.
"This is a 'Cultivation Immortality Manual', containing the basic knowledge of cultivation. Take it."
Throwing the 'Cultivation Immortality Manual' to Qin Tian, Yun Menghan turned and walked deeper into the woods: "Cultivate well; I hope you can achieve what you wish. We shall meet no more."
Qin Tian, holding the manual, watched Yun Menghan's departing back into the forest and shouted loudly, "We will meet again, Miss Yun. Today's grace, I, Qin Tian, vow to repay tenfold in the future. This promise holds for this life!"
Yun Menghan had already disappeared into the dark forest, but her voice with a hint of elegance and coldness still came from afar: "I hope so!"
Yun Menghan suddenly left, and Qin Tian stood there, unable to calm himself for a long time.
This woman had opened a door for him like an anti-corrosion agent, giving him new motivation and goals.
"Damn, I still have many questions to ask her, and she just left, saying she'll never see me again? Does she hate me that much?"
Returning to his senses, Qin Tian looked into the distance, smiled helplessly, and suddenly thought of something. He shouted towards where Yun Menghan had disappeared: "Hey, Yun Menghan, come back, you took my clothes, give them back!"
Of course, no one responded from afar.
That night, Qin Tian was alone in the wilderness, unable to sleep for a long time.
The next morning, he packed his belongings and walked out of the forest.
With the big river as a guide and the Broken Cliff upstream as a reference, Qin Tian took less than three hours to walk out of the dense forest and return to the mountain path.
After walking for more than two hours, Qin Tian finally arrived at the mountain bay behind the Wang Family Village.
Qin Tian planned to say farewell to Wang Guangfu and Wang Qing'er at the Wang Family Village.
This time, he considered himself quite lucky, not only absorbing a lot of spiritual energy for cultivation but also learning about some cultivation matters. He needed to return to the city soon to complete his previous objectives, eliminate his rivals, and cultivate to become stronger.
No matter what, he had to fulfill the boast he made in front of Yun Menghan.
However, as Qin Tian approached the Wang Family Village, he saw from afar the large square in the village center crowded with people, noisy with unknown celebrations or arguments.
The crowd was divided into two groups: one led by Wang Guangfu from the Wang Family Village, and the other by a burly, bearded man leading his group. They were loudly arguing, with some even using foul language.
Because of the intense quarrel, no one noticed Qin Tian as he approached.
"Wang Guangfu, hand over the Lingzhi immediately. Those few pieces of Lingzhi were dug up from our Zhang Family Village's back mountains, they belong to us. Hand them over obediently!"
The bearded man had the loudest voice among the crowd, shouting at Wang Guangfu.
He stood facing Wang Guangfu, and not only was he a head taller than Wang Guangfu, but he was also more robust.
Wang Guangfu appeared as a dwarf in front of him, while this guy seemed to be at least 1.95 meters tall.
"Your Zhang Family Village's back mountains are the Mengbei Mountain Range. How dare you claim the stuff in Mengbei Mountain Range as yours?"
Wang Guangfu's face turned red with anger, staring at the fat man, he said, "Zhang Pangwa, stop mingling blindly. Just because no one in Wang Family Village can beat you, you bring people to Wang Family Village to act recklessly. Can't break the rules of the old Mengbei tribes!"
"Hmph, what rules? The old generation's rules in the Mengbei ancient tribes won't work anymore. Today, I, Zhang Pangwa, will establish new rules!"
The fat man called Zhang Pangwa looked extremely arrogant, staring at Wang Guangfu and saying, "Chief Wang, it's not us from Zhang Family Village who are troubling you. Those few thousand-year Lingzhi you have were acquired on our Zhang Family Village's territory, so you should hand them over. If you don't hand them over today, we from Zhang Family Village won't let it go!"
"You!"
Zhang Pangwa brought some young and tough fighters from Zhang Family Village. Seeing their imposing manner, Wang Guangfu, although furious, felt somewhat helpless.
This Zhang Pangwa, being the son of the Zhang Family Village chief, seemed to have trained some martial arts outside. Upon returning, he acted arrogantly, bullying people from other Mengbei ancient villages.
Before Wang Family Village, both Li Family Village and Yang Family Village were stepped on by Zhang Pangwa and his gang. In a fight with Zhang Pangwa's people, those village members couldn't resist at all and could only swallow their anger, allowing people from Zhang Family Village to bully them.
Wang Guangfu never expected that this time, Zhang Pangwa would bring trouble to Wang Family Village.
"Zhang Pangwa, are you saying that whatever is found in a village should belong to that village?"
Just as Wang Guangfu fell silent, Wang Qing'er stepped forward to speak.
Zhang Pangwa glanced at Wang Qing'er and said arrogantly, "Of course."
Upon hearing this, Wang Qing'er smiled as if she succeeded in her scheme, "If that's the case, then last month, people from your Zhang Family Village not only dug up a thousand-year ginseng in our Wang Family Village's back mountain forest but also several pounds of Gastrodia. According to you, the stolen items from our Wang Family Village must be returned!"
"Yes!"
"That's right!"
"Return it!"
Wang Qing'er's words instantly received affirmation from people in the Wang Family Village, making Zhang Pangwa's face very ugly, especially hearing Wang Qing'er use the word "steal".
"Wang Qing'er, we're men talking business. You, as a girl, shouldn't interrupt! We from Zhang Family Village never found anything near your Wang Family Village, don't slander us!" Zhang Pangwa argued stubbornly, denying it outright.
"Oh, Zhang Pangwa, you can't deny this…"
Wang Qing'er was about to argue with reason, but Zhang Pangwa directly interrupted her, shouting at Wang Guangfu, "Wang Guangfu, I won't say more. Are you handing over the stuff or not?"
"No handover! You all get back!"
Before Wang Guangfu could answer, Wang Qing'er shouted loudly.
This sentence thoroughly infuriated Zhang Pangwa.
"Damn it, Wang Qing'er, do you think I wouldn't dare to lay hands on you because you're a girl? Handling women is my specialty!"
