After giving the compensation, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
They both knew the art of divination and could be considered warlocks.
Since they were warlocks, they were in awe of karma.
Previously, their forceful intervention to manipulate karma had actually created a karmic debt with Su Han. If they didn't repay it and pretended it didn't happen, the karmic cycle would eventually catch up to them and might affect them personally.
This was another reason why they came to apologize.
After apologizing, they didn't linger any longer. They simply informed Su Han that they would be staying in Ping'an County for a while, waiting for the Eternal Calamity Underworld. If there was anything important, he could contact them through secret methods.
There was no other way. Hovering around in front of someone who seemed to be a banished immortal...
The psychological pressure was still a bit too much.
Otherwise, even if Chen Qingdu didn't, at least with Wang Yangming's personality, he would definitely chat with Su Han a few more times, teasing him a bit, which in a way would also be an attempt to build rapport.
But now, who would be in the mood for that?
Yuan Xingkong walked over, patted Su Han on the shoulder, and exclaimed in amazement, "You little brat, you're really something! You just went out of the city and got two Qi Passage level cultivation methods."
"You haven't been practicing martial arts for long, so you might not know how precious Qi Passage cultivation methods are. They can't be described with just gold.
It can even be said that they are priceless. Ping'an County might not even have something as important as these two cultivation methods."
"Back then, in order to obtain a Qi Passage cultivation method, I joined the Golden Hall and kept taking on and completing tasks, working myself to the bone, just like a beast of burden, before I barely managed to gather enough corresponding merits."
"And it could only be practiced by one person, and it had to be kept secret."
As he said that, he sighed, recalling his youthful years.
"Hall Master Yuan, why be so humble? Cultivation methods are about suitability, not quantity. Finding one that suits you is more important than any miraculous technique," Su Han replied with a smile.
Yuan Xingkong's eyes widened, and he laughed and scolded, "You little brat, are you actually comforting me now?"
"Alright, alright, let's not chat here. Let's go back to the city first and leave together. Otherwise, with the level of hatred some people have for you, they might really attack you."
Su Han nodded, "Then I'll have to thank the Hall Master."
Although he didn't really care about it, he wouldn't mind if someone attacked him. He could use it to test the results of his cultivation during this period, the Deadly Seven Kill Sword, the power of the Seven Kill Calamity.
But he was too lazy to make trouble for no reason.
Having a few Qi Passage experts protecting him was also acceptable.
The fusion of cultivation methods would happen within these two days.
It was best not to cause any unnecessary trouble.
"Hmph, I'm actually afraid that you little brat will kill them all."
Yuan Xingkong looked at Su Han's calm expression and could probably guess what the kid was thinking. He shook his head, took Su Han, and disappeared from the spot with a flash of lightning.
Old Daoist Linghua and Xu Ruohai also used their methods to leave.
With the disappearance of the ghost ship, the number of people in this section of the river decreased rapidly. Soon, almost everyone had left, but Wu Mingkong and Qi Mei were still staying in place, talking.
Qi Mei frowned and said, "Are you sure?"
Wu Mingkong nodded:
"I know, but if they were Qi Passage grandmasters or rogue cultivators, it would be impossible for me to sense them. Their control over their aura is extremely powerful. As long as they don't want to, it won't leak out at all,"
Wu Mingkong replied.
Qi Mei was thoughtful, this was indeed the case.
"Then what do you want to do? Take action against this Su Han?"
She continued to ask.
Wu Mingkong responded indifferently, "I have already investigated. That Su Han has become famous here, and he has a Qi Passage grandmaster as his backer. You also observed just now that their relationship seems to be very good."
"Since this is the case, let's not take action for now. Find an opportunity to get in touch with him and see if he can be used by us. Of course, don't be so blatant, just pretend to be forming an alliance."
"What if your [Plan to Form an Alliance] doesn't work?"
Qi Mei asked back.
"If it doesn't work, then let's attack him. Although he has the protection of a Qi Passage expert, he is ultimately not a Qi Passage expert himself. Moreover, the two of us represent the Broken Army and Greedy Wolf sects, so what do we have to fear from a Qi Passage expert?"
Wu Mingkong replied lightly, quite confident.
The two of them were originally geniuses of these two sects, and they also possessed the Broken Army and Greedy Wolf fortunes. If the two of them joined forces to deal with a Su Han, wouldn't it be a piece of cake?
Moreover, the elders of the sect would also rush over in a while.
As long as this Eternal Calamity Underworld matter is confirmed to be true, and places similar to Immortal Lands, Pure Lands, and Yang Lands, which possess natural treasures and even immortal and divine objects, really appear...
It's hard to say about Divine Gate grandmasters.
But there will definitely be a large group of Qi Passage grandmasters swarming over.
On the other side, the sturdy martial artist looked in the direction where Su Han left, towards Ping'an City, and fell into deep thought.
What method should he use to complete his teacher's instructions?
When he left the academy, his teacher only told him one goal.
Prevent Su Han from becoming an elite member of the Golden Hall, or even a core member of the training sequence, but he didn't tell him how to do it. The implication was that anything goes.
But now it was obvious that this Su Han was heavily protected.
He might not be able to successfully kill Su Han under the protection of these few Qi Passage experts. It seemed that he needed to break through again. Fortunately, the opening of the Eternal Calamity Underworld could be considered timely.
He turned around and left, almost teleporting.
He had already appeared dozens of feet away, with astonishing speed.
His cultivation had already reached the peak of the Body Passage.
But this did not mean that he could not break through to the Qi Passage. On the contrary, he could break through at any time, but he had been accumulating background and constantly polishing and suppressing himself.
Now, in order to complete his teacher's instructions, he had to break through.
He estimated that it would take about two days to break through.
At that time, the Eternal Calamity Underworld would be about to open as well.
Since this was the case, the plan was to break through two days later, immediately kill Su Han, then enter the Eternal Calamity Underworld, seize the opportunity, and finally return to the academy smoothly to report to his teacher.
This was a premature breakthrough that he had no choice but to make. He hoped that there would be corresponding opportunities in the Eternal Calamity Underworld to make up for his losses.
He sighed in his heart, looking for a place to seclude himself and break through.
On the other side, Yuan Xingkong had already brought Su Han back to the Golden Hall, at an extremely fast speed, almost teleporting.
This made Su Han especially envious, and he asked:
"Hall Master Yuan, do you all learn this trick when you reach the Qi Passage?"
Yuan Xingkong shook his head:
"Not necessarily. It depends on the path that different people take, and there will be different focuses. The path I take is the path of thunder, so it naturally combines the power and swiftness of thunder."
"If you are envious, you have to think about what path you want to take. Don't just choose some weak paths. Choose carefully, or you will regret it too late."
Su Han nodded, "Don't worry, Hall Master Yuan."
The path he wanted to take was the path of Hunyuan, practicing all methods and encompassing everything. In this way, he could also replicate Yuan Xingkong's thunderous descent, almost teleporting.
After exchanging a few pleasantries.
Su Han returned to the closed-door cultivation room, first putting the two newly obtained cultivation methods aside, not in a hurry. His top priority now was still the Deadly Seven Kill Sword and the fusion of cultivation methods.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, two days had passed.
On this day, early in the morning, he opened his eyes.
The fusion of cultivation methods was successful!
