Master of Martial Arts, please enjoy a drunken revelry in the martial world.

Chapter 35 Mid-stage of the Postnatal Period

Hong Qigong did not leave, but kept his promise and waited for Xiao Mi to return.

Gu Qianbei wanted to invite Hong Qigong to rest in the mountain hermitage, but Hong Qigong refused.

"The old beggar is used to sleeping under the open sky, so you young people can enjoy that mountain hut."

As he spoke, Hong Qigong climbed up a tree branch again, gazing at the moon and drinking wine.

"You're quite the dashing one, senior."

Gu Qianbei shook his head and chuckled, not forcing her to stay, and led Xiao Zhao into the mountain hut.

"Congratulations, young master, you have mastered the technique 'The Dragon Regrets'."

Xiao Zhao smiled and congratulated him, knowing that this was not just a palm technique, but also a connection.

From now on, whenever members of the Beggars' Sect see Gu Qianbei perform the "Kanglong Youhui" technique, they will know that he is someone favored by Hong Qigong.

In this way, even Huang Rong, the leader of the Dirty Clothes Faction, and Qiao Feng, the leader of the Clean Clothes Faction, would have to give Gu Qianbei some face.

The martial arts world is not just about fighting and killing, but also about human relationships and social interactions.

Having this kind of influence makes navigating the world much easier.

"It's all thanks to Senior Hong's generosity; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to learn such exquisite palm techniques. Xiao Zhao, were you scared just now?"

Gu Qianbei asked with a smile.

Xiao Zhao shook her head.

"No. But I didn't expect your martial arts skills to be so formidable."

"It's still a long way off."

Gu Qianbei knew that his current strength was far from being that of a master in the martial arts world, and that he had a long way to go.

The night is dark.

The two exchanged only a few words before going to rest.

Gu Qianbei sat cross-legged, drank a few sips of sunflower wine, and began his cultivation for the day.

The Nine Heavens Wine Transformation Technique transforms the power of wine into internal energy; the Golden Light Mantra cultivates both body and life.

Suddenly, a faint golden light emanated from Gu Qianbei's body.

The light was not dazzling, but rather very warm.

Xiao Zhao looked at Gu Qianbei in surprise, thinking to herself, "Young Master's martial arts are truly amazing."

Just then, Gu Qianbei's aura changed and suddenly surged!

"Is this... a breakthrough coming?"

Xiao Zhao was both surprised and delighted, and happy for Gu Qianbei.

Hong Qigong, who was in the tree, also noticed the commotion. He slightly raised his eyelids, then closed his eyes again.

The next moment, a brilliant golden light shone brightly in the mountain hut!

Breakthrough successful!

Mid-term forecast the day after tomorrow!

Gu Qianbei withdrew his inner strength, and the golden light gradually dissipated.

"Finally, a breakthrough!"

Gu Qianbei was overjoyed as he felt the surge of internal energy within his body.

Just a few days after his last breakthrough, he broke through again, partly due to his exceptional talent and partly due to the help he received from the Sunflower Sun-Facing Brew.

"For me, good wine is the fastest way to enhance my cultivation; I still need to brew more wine."

At this moment, Gu Qianbei's longing for the thousand-year-old pine knot reached its peak.

"Congratulations on breaking through your bottleneck, young master."

Xiao Zhao offered her congratulations again, but Gu Qianbei said, "Sorry, I disturbed your sleep."

This answer surprised Xiao Zhao.

Every martial artist is overjoyed when they break through a barrier, but Gu Qianbei was more concerned about her sleep problems first.

This caught Xiao Zhao off guard.

After regaining her senses, Xiao Zhao said with emotion, "Young Master, why are you so good to me? I'm an unlucky person that even my own mother doesn't want to keep by my side..."

As she said this, Xiao Zhao lowered her head, her azure eyes glistening with tears.

Seeing Xiao Zhao suddenly become emotional, Gu Qianbei was also somewhat taken aback.

He just casually apologized, how did it have such a big effect?

Gu Qianbei immediately reached out his right hand and wiped away Xiao Zhao's tears.

"Although I don't know why your biological mother sent you to be raised by Uncle Ge and the others, you are definitely not an ominous person."

The Xiao Zhao I know is filial to her parents, gentle, lovely, and has the most beautiful eyes in the world.

Oh, and nowadays she also possesses a rare and unparalleled beauty.

If people like this are all unlucky, how are people supposed to live? Isn't that going too far?

Xiao Zhao burst into laughter after hearing this.

"Young master, you're good at making me happy."

"I'm telling the truth."

Gu Qianbei feigned helplessness and shrugged, which made Xiao Zhao laugh even harder.

That smile naturally dispelled the original sorrow for a long time.

"Alright, don't overthink it. Get some rest. I believe you'll get the ending you want. Your mother will definitely come back for you."

Gu Qianbei gently comforted her, and Xiao Zhao obediently nodded.

Fifteen minutes later, the two of them leaned against the wooden wall of the hut and went to sleep.

Xiao Zhao opened her eyes, her azure gaze fixed on the man in the green robe not far away, her eyes filled with a bright smile.

"Young master, it's so good to have met you."

On that day, what the man in the green robe didn't know was that the girl's heart held a new expectation and a new desired ending.

On a tree outside the mountain hut, Hong Qigong, who was sleeping with his eyes closed, suddenly sighed, "It's so good to be young."

The next morning.

Xiao Zhao was awakened by the aroma of porridge.

outside the house.

Gu Qianbei had set up a fire at some point and was cooking porridge in a pot she had found in the hut.

I cooked all the rice and braised meat I brought myself, along with wild vegetables and mushrooms I found in the mountains, into one pot, and added a little salt at the end. It had a unique flavor.

"I didn't expect you to have such a good appetite."

Hong Qigong was already sitting to the side, looking expectantly at the pot of mountain porridge.

Although it's not the most exquisite delicacy in the world, enjoying it in this environment adds an extra layer of flavor, making it indescribably wonderful.

"The porridge is ready, please go ahead, senior."

Gu Qianbei took out the bamboo bowl he had just cut with the Golden Light Spell, ladled a bowl of porridge into it, and handed it to Hong Qigong.

Hong Qigong naturally didn't stand on ceremony; he immediately blew on the food and began to eat it in large mouthfuls.

Seeing Xiao Zhao emerge from the hut, Gu Qianbei filled another bowl and went over to her.

"Xiao Zhao, this bowl is yours."

"Young master, why didn't you wake me up? I should have cooked this meal."

Xiao Zhao said with remorse.

"You're not my maid, so there's no question of 'should' or 'shouldn't' you. Besides, you're sleeping so soundly, how could I bear to wake you?"

Gu Qianbei said with a smile.

Although she had spent some time with Gu Qianbei, Xiao Zhao still felt flattered by his occasional gentleness.

Xiao Zhao took the porridge and tasted a very sweet flavor.

But this flavor doesn't come from porridge.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Xiao Mi brought over some Beggar Clan disciples to clean up the mess.

The rest was a matter for the Beggars' Sect, so Gu Qianbei didn't linger. After bidding farewell to everyone, he took Xiao Zhao to find the Millennium Pine.

"Manager Gu, then we'll meet again in Qixia Town."

Xiao Mi cupped his hands in greeting and returned the horse he had borrowed the night before to Gu Qianbei.

"it is good."

As Gu Qianbei spoke, he looked at Hong Qigong.

"I will always remember your guidance, senior. I hope we will meet again someday."

"Don't worry, if nothing unexpected happens, Old Beggar will live for several more decades. There will be plenty of opportunities to meet again."

Hong Qigong smiled nonchalantly.

But Gu Qianbei knew that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Hong Qigong and Ouyang Feng would both perish a few years later on the summit of Mount Hua.

That kind of ending might not be good for the Northern Beggar.

There are too few good people in this world, and Gu Qianbei thought that she would save as many as she could.

Moreover, he had received a favor from them.
