You were made to take the blame and go to jail, but you weren't made a master of both medicine

"Junior brother, what method do you plan to use to obtain the Ten Thousand Buddha Palm manual? By robbing? By seizing? Or by stealing?"

"Is that the kind of person you think I am?" Qin Ran said with a pout.

"No, that's not it. I just feel that besides these few methods, you have no other way to obtain the Ten Thousand Buddha Palm manual."

"That's not necessarily true, but I can't say for sure right now. I'll have to go there and judge based on the actual situation. I believe there will be opportunities."

Fu Xueru smiled but didn't say anything.

"What? You don't believe me?"

"Of course I believe you, but I don't think it's that easy. Don't oversimplify things."

Qin Ran nodded: "I know, let's talk about it when we get there."

"it is good."

After chatting for a while, Qin Ran went to his room to cultivate.

……

The next morning!

Qin Ran and Fu Xueru went to the airport.

They met up with Tang Da at the airport.

Actually, Fu Xueru was still a little worried.

Many bigwigs in Kyoto know her.

If they were to see her with Qin Ran, they would inevitably speculate about their relationship.

But not going is not an option.

Fu Xueru must help Qin Ran master the third part of the Nine Revolutions Divine Dragon Technique as soon as possible.

Her mission was complete, and it was time for her to return to southern Xinjiang.

At noon, the plane landed at Kyoto International Airport.

"Boss, I've already arranged our accommodations. We won't be staying in a hotel this time."

"Where will we stay?"

Tang Da replied, "My friend has a villa in Kyoto. He lives abroad, so we can stay there. Don't worry, I've made all the arrangements."

Fu Xueru exclaimed, "That's great! I'm worried about being recognized if we stay in a hotel."

The three then traveled by car to their destination.

This villa is located on a sunny south-facing hillside in the west of the city.

Upon arrival, Qin Ran and the other two got out of the car.

Fu Xueru looked around: "This place is nice, it's quiet, and the scenery is beautiful. I like it."

"If you like it, then come on, I'll take you inside."

Tang Da walked to the door, entered the password, and the group entered the villa.

The interior decoration of this villa is minimalist.

Because no one has lived there for a long time, the villa has been covered in a layer of dust.

Tang Da and Qin Ran cleaned up the place together.

After they finished, the two sat on the sofa to rest.

"Boss, I found out last night that the leaders of all the major sects will be gathering at the Martial Arts Pavilion tomorrow."

"We'll go there tomorrow too."

"In what capacity?"

Qin Ran thought for a moment: "I'll just say I was sent by the Xijing Martial Arts Association. They don't know that. Besides, I killed Zhou Zhenshan. Now they want to compete for the position of Chief Elder of the Martial Arts Pavilion. There's no problem with me going to observe!"

Tang Da nodded: "That makes sense. Do you remember telling me before that you killed the abbot of Kuanlong Temple?"

Qin Ran pursed her lips.

This happened a long time ago.

The abbot of Kuanlong Temple challenged him because he wanted to stand up for the aristocratic families.

He remembered very clearly that Gu Xinrou's father wanted to introduce this young master from a prominent family to Gu Xinrou.

"I remember, what were you trying to say?"

"The abbot of Kuanlong Temple is from Shaolin. He is the junior brother of Jingzong, the abbot of Shaolin. You should remember his name, right?"

"I remember, his name was Jingxuan. I also remember killing a deputy abbot of Kuanlong Temple, whose name was Canglong. He was also a demonic cultivator," Qin Ran recalled.

Tang Da didn't say anything more.

Having said all that, Qin Ran naturally knew what he wanted to express.

Fu Xueru chimed in, "That's great, the difficulty has increased significantly. You killed Jingzong's junior brother, so he's unlikely to give you the Ten Thousand Buddha Palm manual. From now on, you can only fight him. The Shaolin abbot is naturally arrogant, so even if you defeat him, he might not give you the Ten Thousand Buddha Palm manual."

Tang Da chimed in, "War God Fu is right. The Ten Thousand Buddha Palm manual has been missing for decades. It is an exclusive manual of Shaolin. They must have gone through countless hardships to find it this time. Jingzong will never hand this manual over to anyone else, not even if it means death."

Qin Ran leaned back on the sofa.

With the two of them singing in unison, he suddenly lost confidence.

"Actually, I don't necessarily need them to give me the secret manual. I just need to lend it to them to practice. I'll return it to them once I've mastered it."

"Jingzong himself probably hasn't even mastered it yet, how could he lend it to you?" Fu Xueru sneered.

Qin Ran was somewhat annoyed: "According to you, I have no chance this time. Coming here was a waste of time. I might as well just go home now, is that what you mean?"

Tang Da then said, "Boss, that's not what we meant. Now that we have a problem, we need to come up with a solution so that we can achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Before Qin Ran could speak, Fu Xueru interjected, "I have a solution, but I don't know if you'd be willing?"

"What method?" Qin Ran pressed.

"How about you first become a disciple of Jingzong and have him take you back to Shaolin Temple? Once you're there, find a way to master the Ten Thousand Buddha Palm. After you've mastered it, you can return to secular life. What do you think?"

"You want me to become a monk?"

"You don't have to become a monk. You can sneak into Shaolin Temple with Jingzong, steal the Ten Thousand Buddha Palm manual, find a place to secretly practice it, and then return the manual to him after you've mastered it. By then, he won't be able to do anything to you." Fu Xueru looked at Qin Ran with a smile.

Qin Ran was both amused and exasperated.

What kind of methods are these?

That's completely unreliable.

However, it can be used as a reference.

If there's really no other way, then we can consider it.

"Senior sister, thank you, but I'll think about it myself," Qin Ran said, pouting.

"Trust your senior sister, there are no other options besides these two. Either you resort to trickery or deception!"

Qin Ran didn't reply and instead looked down at her phone.

It seems they don't have high hopes for themselves.

But we must obtain the secret manual no matter what.

We will not give up until we achieve our goal.

……

next day!

Qin Ran and his two companions went to the Martial Arts Pavilion.

The Martial Arts Pavilion is not a pavilion.

It is the headquarters of the Dragon Kingdom Martial Arts Association.

It is located atop Mount Shimine in Kyoto.

Previously, Zhou Zhenhai was the undisputed head of the Martial Arts Pavilion.

He is the chief executive elder of the Martial Arts Pavilion and a peak figure in martial arts.

At the foot of the mountain, Qin Ran saw a familiar figure ahead.

"Old Man An!"

An Yongchen turned around and saw Qin Ran: "Mr. Qin, you've come too."

"Since we're together, if they ask, just say we're together."

An Yongchen suddenly realized: "No wonder you weren't interested in the position of president of the Xijing Martial Arts Association. So you've got your eye on the position of chief elder of the Martial Arts Pavilion. Are you here to fight your way through the crowd and take over from Zhou Zhenshan?"

Qin Ran smiled and said, "You have too much imagination. This is not why I came here. As I said, I have no interest in these titles in the martial arts world."

"So, what is the purpose of your visit?"

"You'll see when the time comes. Let's go, let's go up the mountain."

An Yongchen didn't ask any further questions after hearing that.

Soon, the group arrived at the Martial Arts Pavilion.

Qin Ran and the other two successfully blended in with An Yongchen.

In addition to the leaders of various sects, representatives from martial arts associations in different regions have also come this time.

An Yongchen is the representative of the Xijing Martial Arts Association.

The group arrived at a large reception room.

Qin Ran glanced around and saw that the leaders of all the major sects had arrived.

His eyes unconsciously drifted toward Jingzong, the abbot of Shaolin Temple!

At the same time, Zhao Qingxu, the representative of the Martial Arts Pavilion, also came forward: "Elder An, you've arrived."

"Elder Zhao, it's been a long time. Let me introduce you. This is Qin Ran. He came with me."

Upon hearing this, Abbot Jingzong of Shaolin Temple suddenly looked up at Qin Ran.

Zhao Qingxu also sized up Qin Ran.

This is the kid who killed Zhou Zhenshan.

This young man's cultivation is extraordinary, inspiring fear in all who behold him.

"Young Master Qin, seeing you in person is far better than hearing about you. I never expected you to be so young."

"Just call me Qin Ran. I'm just here to join in the fun; I'm not competing for the position of Chief Elder of the Martial Arts Pavilion," Qin Ran said truthfully.

Zhao Qingxu nodded but did not reply.

He put on a thoughtful expression.

He wasn't sure if Qin Ran was telling the truth or lying.

At this moment, Abbot Jingzong of Shaolin Temple got up and walked over: "Amitabha, Benefactor Qin, I didn't expect to meet you here."

"Hello, Master Jingzong."

Jingzong said expressionlessly, "This old monk originally intended to leave the Martial Arts Pavilion to find you in Xijing, but I didn't expect to meet you here. It seems this is fate."

Fu Xueru and Tang Da had already sensed the hostility in Jingzong's tone.

It was obvious that the old monk still remembered Qin Ran.

As for the reason, they knew it perfectly well.

"Master, what brings you here?" Qin Ran asked deliberately.

Jingzong sneered, "Benefactor Qin, do you still remember personally killing Abbot Jingxuan of Kuanlong Temple?"

"Of course I remember."

"Jingxuan is my junior brother."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes turned to this side.

Qin Ran killed Jing Xuan.

Jingxuan is also Jingzong's junior brother.

Everyone knows what will happen next.

Qin Ran said with his hands behind his back, "Although Jingxuan is the abbot of Kuanlong Temple, he has not changed his worldly desires and has become a lackey of the aristocratic families. The aristocratic families ordered him to kill me, but he was not as skilled and died at my hands. This has nothing to do with me."

"You're talking nonsense! Your martial uncle isn't that kind of person. You killed your martial uncle and are now making excuses. You're a wicked person who deserves to die!" A young monk walked over and verbally attacked him.

Qin Ran sneered: "Anyway, I didn't lie. Jingxuan really deserves to die. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."

Now that things have come to this, Qin Ran doesn't mind making enemies of Shaolin Temple.

At worst, we can have a competition.

If Jingzong loses, he must hand over the secret manual of the Ten Thousand Buddha Palm.

Jingzong looked at Qin Ran: "You said my junior brother became a lackey of aristocratic families. Produce the evidence. Without evidence, it's malicious slander."

"I remember it very clearly. Jingxuan served the Zuo family in Kyoto. The head of the Zuo family was called Zuo Chongshan. At that time, I had some conflicts with Zuo Renchao, the young master of the Zuo family. In order to avenge his grandson, Zuo Chongshan sent Jingxuan to kill me, but he was no match for me and I killed him instead. If you don't believe me, you can go to the Zuo family to ask." Qin Ran said truthfully.
