Night Barbecue, Master and Disciple Drink Together

Tonight had broadened my horizons, and we had brought back a Tong Ghost arm in its original form.

Whatever became of that actress from now on had nothing to do with us.

She had made her own choices. If she had sinned, she could only bear the consequences herself.

By the time we returned to Fish Mouth, it was already midnight.

Master and I had been busy since the afternoon and had not eaten.

The two of us ordered some barbecue by the roadside and got a few beers.

Master was very satisfied with my performance tonight.

He said I had reacted quickly and had been able to swiftly identify the Tong Ghost's weakness.

I had even killed it when it underwent its second transformation.

And I had managed to break through another realm in the midst of battle.

He said my control over qi had become increasingly proficient, and he was very pleased.

He told me to keep it up. One day, I would surely surpass him and perhaps even Grandmaster...

At that moment, Master took a bite of food and spoke again:

"Xiao Jiang! Your progress has surprised me, and I am proud of you.

"You have now opened your Strength Soul chakra.

"You have enough qi now. When we get back, I'll teach you several commonly used techniques.

"The Tracking Technique and the Substitute Technique—I'll teach them all to you.

"You must study them carefully. Once you have fully mastered these techniques!

"With your current cultivation and the techniques you command,

"You'll be able to deal easily with most ordinary evil spirits."

After saying that, Master raised his glass again, his eyes filled with approval for me.

I did not dare be negligent and hurriedly raised my glass with both hands.

"Thank you for cultivating me, Master.
