The heavens began with the Divine Condor becoming the disciple of the Old Urchin.

Chapter 57: The Five Ugly Ones

Seeing Hong Qigong's bitter face, Qian Jin couldn't help but ask:

"Senior, is it perhaps that my whole roasted lamb doesn't suit your taste?"

Upon hearing this, Hong Qigong quickly shook his head and said:

"No, no, no, your roasted whole lamb tastes excellent. Old Beggar loves it."

"Then why do you still look so worried, senior?"

"Why!"

Upon hearing this, Hong Qigong sighed and said:

"Young brother, let me tell you the truth! I consider myself to have tasted all the delicacies in the world in my life, but this whole roasted lamb is truly the first time I've ever had it."

The flavor was so unique that the thought that I might never taste such a special flavor again made me a little sad.

Upon hearing this, Qian Jin smiled and said:

"Haha, I thought it was something difficult."

That's easy. Let's eat as much as we want today. Tomorrow, I'll teach you all the secret marinade and essential seasonings I need for roasting this whole lamb.

Once the seniors have learned how, they can naturally bake it themselves.

Moreover, my secret recipe isn't limited to roasted lamb; chicken, fish, and all sorts of wild game can be grilled too.

Hong Qigong was overjoyed upon hearing this, and immediately took down his wine gourd, saying:

"Alright, old beggar, I still have a gourd of good wine here. Let's drink until we drop today."

……

That night, Hong Qigong lay in the cave, unable to sleep.

He now knows that Qian Jin is Zhou Botong's apprentice, and the two girls with him are Xiaolongnu from the Ancient Tomb Sect and Huang Yaoshi's apprentice.

He didn't think too much about the delicious food he had yesterday.

Now that I think about it, he, Old Beggar, never owed anyone anything in his life, so how could he have learned someone else's barbecue recipe for nothing?

Even if Qian Jin didn't mind, he was always begging for money and couldn't afford to owe this favor.

How can this be good?

Could it be that we have to teach him a martial art in exchange?

However, since the young man is highly skilled in martial arts and is also the disciple of the Old Urchin, he probably wouldn't be interested in ordinary martial arts.

The Dog-Beating Stick Technique is a closely guarded secret of the Beggars' Sect, so that won't work. That leaves only the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.

Well, well, since he was able to teach Guo Jing the move "Regretful Dragon Soaring" back then, it's not impossible for him to teach it to this young man now.

Before they knew it, the sky was gradually brightening. Five figures came rushing from afar and suddenly stopped when they passed the cave where Qian Jin and the others were resting.

One of them picked up a wine gourd from the rocks, examined it carefully, and exclaimed in surprise:

"It's the old beggar's wine gourd! How did it end up here? Could it be that he's already come to Mount Hua?"

Upon hearing this, the other four people's faces immediately showed fear, and they couldn't help but say:

"Damn it, this old beggar has been chasing us all the way. He's really gone too far."

But no sooner had they finished speaking than a voice suddenly came from above.

"What are you five ugly freaks yelling about so early in the morning? You must have done something terrible to be chased all the way here."

The five men from the Tibetan border were furious at the scandalous remarks. Turning around, they saw a young man suddenly leap down from a mountain peak. Immediately, they all surrounded him, saying:

"Where did this brat come from? Quickly kneel down and kowtow to your five grandfathers to confess your sins, and we might spare your life. Otherwise, don't blame us for being ruthless."

Upon hearing this, Qian Jin couldn't help but laugh:

"You five clowns dare to speak so arrogantly."

"I won't bully you today. All five of you come at me together. If you can survive ten moves against me, I'll spare your lives."

"What?"

The five people burst into laughter at the mention of the scandal.

If that old beggar had said those words, they might have hesitated, but this kid who appeared out of nowhere...

That's utterly arrogant.

Just then, Hong Qigong suddenly emerged from the cave and said loudly:

"Young brother, these five villains from the Tibetan border have committed numerous evils and are all extremely wicked people. If you let them go today, they will inevitably continue to do evil in the future."

Upon seeing Hong Qigong suddenly appear, the laughter of the Five Ugly Men of the Tibetan Border stopped abruptly, and they immediately turned to flee.

However, after taking only two steps, Xiaolongnu forced them all back with her Jade Maiden Heart Sutra Sword Technique.

When the Five Ugly Ones saw that Little Dragon Girl was so young but her swordsmanship was so exquisite, they were so frightened that they dared not run towards her again.

Even Hong Qigong, who was not far away, was shocked to see Xiaolongnu wielding a sword with both hands.

They secretly marveled at the fact that such exquisite swordsmanship existed in the world. With just this one swordsmanship, there were probably very few people in the martial arts world who could surpass this young lady!

Qian Jin knew that Hong Qigong spoke up at this time because he felt that he could not kill all five ugly men of the Tibetan border within ten moves, so he gave a reminder.

So he said:

"Since I have given you ten chances to survive, that is your only chance to live today."

Don't even think about running away. Every single one of you here could easily kill you.

The five men, upon hearing this, all turned to look at Hong Qigong.

Upon seeing this, Hong Qigong glared and said:

"Why are you looking at me like that? Since you've said you're getting a chance to survive, I, Old Beggar, will naturally not interfere."

Whether you can withstand ten moves depends on your own abilities.

The Five Ugly Ones feared Hong Qigong the most. Now, hearing what he said, they exchanged glances and made their decision.

Having witnessed Xiaolongnu's exquisite swordsmanship, the five dared not fight Qian Jin with their own techniques anymore.

So they joined forces and transferred all their internal energy to Da Chou, who then unleashed it all at once.

Qian Jin had long known that the Five Ugly Men of the Tibetan Border had a method for transmitting internal energy to each other, but he wanted to test how strong his internal energy was now, so he immediately did not back down and launched the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Palm.

boom!

With a muffled thud, Da Chou felt his arms go numb and his chest ache. If it weren't for the other four Chou blocking his way, he probably wouldn't have been able to stand up.

Such powerful internal energy!

After one move, all five ugly men were terrified.

Qian Jin's internal strength was far beyond their imagination. The key was that he was so young. Even if he had been training since birth, he couldn't possibly be this monstrous!

Little did they know that Qian Jin, relying on his proficiency panel, had already cultivated the three top-tier internal skills—Nine Yin Manual, Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, and Innate Skill—to their highest level.

Although his endurance may be somewhat lacking due to his short training period, his explosive power alone is enough to rival the current Five Greats.

How could the five of them possibly withstand that?

"The fact that the five of you can transfer your internal energy to each other shows that this skill is indeed quite effective. However, it's a pity that each of you is too weak."

Qian Jin laughed loudly, then stepped forward and unleashed another Three Flowers Gathering at the top palm strike at the five men.
