Old Man Ding placed the hot teapot down, then turned around to sit. His slightly cloudy eyes scanned the entire courtyard. After seeing that no one was watching their movements, he let out a sigh of relief.
He looked at Huang An's face and said earnestly:
"Since I have taken your silver, I will tell you today. But you must promise not to tell others, and you can't reveal it to outsiders. Is it clear that what I'm going to teach you is from me?"
His tone moved from initial joy to eventual chilly threats.
Only when he gritted his teeth and said, "If you let this slip out, I will chase and kill you till death even if it burns my old bones!" did Huang An understand. The method Old Man Ding spoke of was very likely real.
His tone and eyes emanated murderous intent and threats, reminding Huang An that the old man in front of him, who seemed half-dead, was also an expert in the Bronze Realm achieved through hard cultivation.
