Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Pill Devouring, I am the True Path of the Tang Sect

Qin Qi laughed heartily and spoke.

"Nothing to eat, it's awful."

Xiao Wu spoke up.

For the rest of the time, Qin Qi and Xiao Wu chatted for a long time, and finally lay down there, using the sky as their blanket and the ground as their bed, and slept for the night.

The next morning, they returned to Notting College, and after that, Qin Qi's business was finished.

He devoted the rest of his time to cultivation, constantly improving his proficiency in various techniques and skills.

The holiday is coming to an end in the blink of an eye, and at the end of the holiday, a special day has arrived.

Qin Qi bought some things and brought them to the study space, but he didn't study today.

"Second Grandfather, judging by the time, it's almost Chinese New Year, and we won't be able to go home this year."

"I can't go back to pay respects to my ancestors, but I wish you a Happy New Year here, and I also wish all our ancestors a Happy New Year."

As Qin Qi spoke, he clasped his hands together and made as if he was about to kneel down. He could disrespect gods and heaven and earth, but he had to respect his parents and elders!

"Alright, alright, it's just the two of us, no need for this."

“A man’s knees are worth gold. If you kneel down, I won’t be able to give you any New Year’s money.”

Tang Jiaren looked at Qin Qi and chuckled as he stopped Qin Qi from kneeling down.

When offering New Year's greetings, the gesture is enough; there's no need to actually kneel down.

"Alright then, I won't stand on ceremony with you. I've bought some minced meat and flour, let's make dumplings together, you and me."

"I also bought some wine. I'll pack it up later and have a drink with you."

Qin Qi said with a smile.

"Okay... but you must have used up a lot of your energy. Wasting such a day is unnecessary."

"Let's continue training after we eat."

Tang Jiaren looked at Qin Qi and spoke.

"Second Grandfather, what you're saying makes it sound like I can skip going home for the New Year just because I'm busy with work."

"Spend where you should, save where you should. We're not stingy. Besides, the secret to training is a balance between work and rest."

"It's a good day today, let's take a day off."

Qin Qi smiled. He truly wanted to become stronger, but that didn't mean he would disregard everything else in the process.

"You little brat."

Tang Jiaren looked at Qin Qi and smiled with satisfaction. He hadn't taught Qin Qi this lesson yet, but Qin Qi had already learned it.

They are killers, assassins, but that's just a job for survival. Ultimately, they are human beings with flesh and blood!

The most important lesson from the Tang Clan is that you must never forget that you are a human being, not a weapon to kill!

Family ties, friendships, love, and patriotism—they can all be included!

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for understanding the principles of respecting teachers and valuing the balance between work and rest. You are rewarded with +2 achievement points and +200 points.]

[Host achievement points have been detected to have reached 100. Summon a second private tutor?]

----------------

One unique aspect of the Tang Clan in Under One Person is that their livelihood (earning money) is through killing, but killing is forbidden on ordinary days.

After Xu Xin joined the Thirty-Six Thieves and was captured, the old sect leader's final test for him was to kill his own Tang Clan brothers.

But in the end, Zhang Wang said that if Xu Xinzhen had made a move, he wouldn't be alive today.

Chapter 59 Private Tutor Tang Shiying, Unparalleled Swordsmanship!

"I've saved up almost enough, perfect, it's a bit lonely eating with just the two of us."

Qin Qi smiled, looked at the achievement points he had accumulated, and thought about his efforts over the past year.

"The system will begin selecting new teachers."

Qin Qi spoke in his heart.

[New private tutors being drawn... Private tutors drawn, all tutors have arrived at the learning space.]

After the system notification ended, a white fog appeared in the learning space.

When the fog dissipated, an old man with white hair and beard, wearing a long gown, appeared before us.

"Uncle Ying, is that you, Uncle Ying?"

Tang Jiaren looked at the old man, somewhat excited, and asked.

"Jiaren, I never expected to run into you here."

Tang Shiying looked at Tang Jiaren with some surprise, then his gaze fell on Qin Qi.

He saw through it at a glance.

"This child must have brought me here, a child from the Tang Clan?"

Tang Shiying looked at Qin Qi. Although Qin Qi had completely concealed his aura, he could still see the traces of his cultivation.

"Um……"

Qin Qi looked at Tang Shiying. He recognized Tang Shiying, but did not speak immediately.

He was calculating the generations. His grandfather's father was the great-grandfather, and what was the name of the great-grandfather's uncle?

"Stop looking, you should call him Grandpa Gao, or Grandma Gao."

Tang Jiaren looked at Qin Qi and immediately noticed Qin Qi's problem. He then spoke up to remind him.

"Haha, sorry, Mr. Gao, I didn't remember for a moment."

Qin Qi chuckled and scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed. This generational distinction wasn't used very often, and he hadn't figured it out in a moment.

Tang Jiaren then explained the situation to Tang Shiying in detail, and also introduced Qin Qi's cultivation progress.

"This child is a genius; he has mastered all the techniques within the sect at such a young age."

“He even learned how to use the Pill Devouring technique.”

Tang Jiaren spoke up.

"Hmm, I can see that. You have good talent, but you're not quite there yet."

Tang Shiying looked at Qin Qi, who nodded and spoke.

[Ding! Private tutor Tang Shiying's approval rating has increased by 20%. The host has acquired Tang Shiying's swordsmanship talent.]

"Great Master Gao, you're so generous!"

Upon hearing the system notification, Qin Qi mentally gave Tang Shiying a thumbs up. Offering such goodwill right from the start was incredibly kind of her.

"Grandpa Gao, I'm a little curious. I've concealed my aura quite well, haven't I? How did you figure out my true strength?"

Qin Qi asked with some curiosity.

At the same time, he invited Tang Shiying to sit down and make dumplings together.

"Your aura is indeed well concealed, but cultivators are different from ordinary people in their walking, sitting and lying down."

"Most people can't tell, but these are the details that we in the Tang Clan pay the most attention to."

"Your stance may seem casual, but you are actually maintaining a steady, measured pace at all times. If you are attacked, you can dodge immediately."

"Your hands were always seemingly there but never actually there, either hidden by your sleeves or your body."

"This is preparation for launching a sudden attack with a hidden weapon at any moment. Your breathing is steady and light."

"If it were an ordinary person, they wouldn't even be able to detect your breathing. The key point is that you're keeping your breath very well concealed."

"Sometimes being too perfect is actually a flaw."

Tang Shiying rolled up his sleeves and sat down next to Qin Qi naturally, and then they started making dumplings together.

"I just felt like I was doing well, and then someone came along to put me down. Sigh, I still have a lot of practice to do."

Qin Qi smiled and shook his head. He thought he had hidden it perfectly, but he didn't expect there to be so many flaws.

"You're still young, you have plenty of time. Practice slowly, and when you reach the point of returning to simplicity and being just like an ordinary person, you'll have reached your peak."

"Also, isn't it a bit extravagant to put so much meat in the pot for just the three of us?"

Tang Shiying looked at the minced meat and frowned. In the era he lived in, resources were scarce.

Even a major sect like the Tang Clan rarely gets to eat meat throughout the year.

"Uncle Ying, things are different now than they were back then. After we died, times changed, and people's lives are better now."

"Tell Uncle Ying what life is like now."

Tang Jiaren spoke up.

"Ah."

Qin Qi began to tell Tang Shiying what society was like now, explaining that people no longer went hungry.

"Great, great, a peaceful and prosperous era is wonderful."

"But life inside the gate must be tough."

After listening to Qin Qi's description, Tang Shiying nodded, a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

No one living in that chaotic era did not yearn for peace.

"That's great. Now the sect has a legitimate business too. They've opened a martial arts school and are making a lot of money every year."

"There are quite a few geniuses among the disciples in the sect, and everyone is doing well."

Qin Qi was telling the truth. The Tang Clan is indeed not short of money now, but it lacks something else.

"You child... even your lies are so perfect, your eyes and tone are flawless."

"But have you forgotten what kind of background we Tang Clan have? Our job is to kill."

"In times of peace and prosperity, how could those officials tolerate us? The Tang Clan will definitely be restricted."
