Chapter 2332 - 2288: Return

Chapter 2332: Chapter 2288: Return

Chen Yang did not refuse, collected all the herbs and then went over.

"Brother Chen Yang, this is yours." Tu Qi handed a piece of meat to Chen Yang.

"Alright." Chen Yang took the meat and started eating it in large mouthfuls.

Qin Shan was eating while watching Chen Yang and Tu Qi.

His eyes seemed to carry a sense of curiosity.

"Brother Qin Shan, why are you looking at us like this?" Noticing Qin Shan’s gaze, Chen Yang couldn’t help but ask.

Qin Shan smiled and said, "Nothing, just curious. What do you guys, from the outside world, do in your daily lives, that makes you look so fair?"

Pfft.

Hearing this, Chen Yang almost choked on the meat he just ate.

Tu Qi was the same.

"Haha, life outside is nothing like your Qin Mountain Village. Your survival conditions are limited, and the training designated by your Village Chief is a bit too strict." Chen Yang laughed.

"Indeed, why do you train like that? Outside, we just need to sit down and focus on improving our Realm, there’s no need for push-up training." Tu Qi also laughed along.

"Huh? People from the outside world don’t do physical training? Without a strong physique, how can you possess formidable battle strength?"

Chen Yang and Tu Qi found the training method of Qin Mountain Village a bit peculiar.

Qin Shan similarly found their words somewhat strange.

Qin Shan had never left Qin Mountain Village; his understanding of the outside world was only what Qin Qingfeng mentioned.

Thus, he felt puzzled by outside affairs.

"In the outside world, formidable battle strength doesn’t necessarily correlate with physique." Tu Qi laughed.

"Then what does it correlate with?" Qin Shan looked earnest.

It was evident he was truly curious.

"With your Realm and the Cultivation Technique you practice." Tu Qi replied straight away.

"Outside, as long as your Cultivation Technique, paired with your abundant Spiritual Energy, can achieve world-shattering effects, one doesn’t necessarily need a strong physique to wield immense power."

Tu Qi believed that the training methods of Qin Mountain Village were outdated cultivation methods.

But Qin Shan listened and shook his head, not agreeing.

"Brother Tu Qi, I know the method you mentioned, but we believe just having a Realm and Cultivation Technique isn’t enough; a powerful cultivator must be personally strong too."

"This way, they can not only wield great power but also possess an unyielding will. Only this way can one be called strong."

Qin Shan spoke emphatically.

"Haha, I guess everyone has their own opinion." Seeing Qin Shan speak like this, Tu Qi didn’t want to debate further and chuckled, lowering his head to eat meat.

Chen Yang didn’t say much throughout.

But in his heart, he stood more on Qin Shan’s side.

Real strength indeed shouldn’t just be about mere cultivation and enhancing one’s Realm.

Without combat capability, exceptional willpower, and a body that withstands countless pains, how could one become strong?

Without battle experience or physique, even a powerful person is just a facade.

Chen Yang deeply understood this point.

His formidable battle strength, nearly invincible among peers, relied on what?

Isn’t it strong physique, rich combat experience, and an unyielding heart?

With any of these three missing, he wouldn’t be sitting here eating meat now.

He would likely have died in the ring fighting Liu Ziye.

His heart acknowledged but did not say more, after finishing the meat, he chose a relatively clean stone, sat cross-legged, and settled himself.

The next day, they ventured out of the cave again and roamed the mountains, searching for herbs.

It wasn’t until the third day that they barely collected over twenty kinds of herbs.

Still three herbs were missing.

Although not all herbs were gathered.

Collecting this many, Chen Yang was already quite satisfied.

After all, none of these herbs are commonplace, and under normal circumstances, it would take a lot of time to find them.

Finding the majority of herbs in such a brief two-day span was already quite good.

"In these two days, Chase Wind and Carpet played a huge role; without them, who knows when we’d find them." During rest, Chen Yang looked at the two hunting dogs and said.

These two hunting dogs were well-trained.

When they moved.

They would race out quickly to find herbs.

When not looking, they were extremely obedient, sitting side by side with Qin Shan like two protectors.

"Of course, Chase Wind and Carpet are the village’s finest hunting dogs, contributing significantly to the village." Qin Shan smiled at Chen Yang while also reaching to pet Chase Wind and Carpet.

"Haha, it appears I was too unfamiliar; didn’t realize they were so capable, their noses are indeed keen." Tu Qi chuckled awkwardly.

He previously doubted Chase Wind and Carpet, but now found himself contradicted.

"Brother Chen Yang, how many herbs are still missing now?" Qin Shan smiled and looked at Chen Yang asking.

"Three more kinds."

Chen Yang replied.

"Three kinds?" Qin Shan was a bit surprised, a slight dilemma arose in his heart.

As there was less than half a day left from the three-day timeframe.

They had to return now, or else wouldn’t make it back to the village.

But if they returned, what should they do about the missing three herbs?

"No worries, the remaining three herbs can be figured out later. Let’s return to Qin Mountain Village first so as not to keep Village Chief Qin waiting." Chen Yang got up and said.

Although all herbs weren’t found, they can be searched for later.

If the agreed time with Qin Qingfeng and Jing Kang is delayed, that would be troublesome.

Chen Yang understood what was more important.

"Alright." Seeing Chen Yang say this, Qin Shan also did not have any worries anymore, and immediately agreed, returning together to Qin Mountain Village.

They arrived back at the village when it was already dark.

At this time, Qin Mountain Village was brightly lit; all the villagers, from young to old, had gathered at the village square.

Judging by the offerings on the altar, it seemed they had once again worshipped the tree stump.

"When you go outside, be careful and make sure to come back safely."

"Since the Village Chief has decided, you must obey; do not tarnish the name of the Qin ancestors."

"Daddy, where are you going? Is it hunting again? Please help me find the Fire Steeds."

...

In the square, countless words of encouragement and concern kept flowing.

It appeared Qin Qingfeng had just announced the decision to lead them out to assist the Dajing Dynasty.

The village’s women knew the journey ahead was full of dangers, hence the current scene.

Feelings of reluctance and worry spread through the village.

Chen Yang and Tu Qi returned without disturbing them, quietly observing from the side.

No matter why the Qin Family was overthrown previously.

At least the current scene made Chen Yang feel quite admirable.

To repay past kindness, the Qin Family decided to mobilize their entire clan to assist the Dajing Dynasty.

How many can make such a decision?

The farewells in the square lasted a very short time.
