27: Wind chasing footwork!

"On Tongling Peak!"

"The purple blood spirit herb is on the summit of Tongling Peak, at the entrance of a cave. There's also a secret mark I left there back then."

"Back then, several friends I made also died there. A mysterious Vicious Beast roams near the purple blood spirit herb."

The news of the purple blood spirit herb was also told to him by those friends.

It was because the purple blood spirit herb grew beside the entrance of an unusually large cave, where there were traces of mutated wild beasts.

That's why those friends called him to join forces to repel the mutated Vicious Beast, and then split the purple blood spirit herb equally.

However, what they didn't expect was that the mutated Vicious Beast was invulnerable to blades and spears, possessed immense strength, and its sharp claws seemed capable of tearing apart anything.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, his friends were all killed on the spot.

If he hadn't learned a Martial Art Body Technique, dodging several fatal attacks, he too would have become a soul under the claws of that mutated Vicious Beast.

The man revealed everything without reservation, knowing that the man in front of him was his last chance.

After speaking, the man searched around the dilapidated temple, and finally, in one spot, he used both hands to dig out a wooden box that looked withered and rotten on the surface.

Then, he took out a yellowed book from it, held it in his hand, and threw it towards Lu Xuan without hesitation.

Lu Xuan took the yellowed book flying through the air and carefully looked at the four large characters on the book: Wind Chasing Step!

Then Lu Xuan gently opened it with his right hand.

The next second, Lu Xuan felt a tremor in his mind, and the System panel appeared in his thoughts.

Host: Lu Xuan

Realm: Inner Qi Realm

Cultivation Technique: Scarlet Flame Saber Technique 2/9, Wind Chasing Step? (Incomplete)

Points: 22

Wind Chasing Step has defects. Host, please confirm if you want to spend 20 points to deduce the complete version.

Yes!

The next moment, the points on the System panel changed, leaving only 2 points.

Wind Chasing Step has been fully deduced!

When Lu Xuan looked at the System panel again, it had already changed.

Host: Lu Xuan

Realm: Inner Qi Realm

Cultivation Technique: Scarlet Flame Saber Technique 2/9, Wind Chasing Step 0/9

Points: 2

Hmm? Why aren't there enough System points? Lu Xuan was a bit puzzled.

Logically speaking, the 2 System points on the panel should be enough to deduce Wind Chasing Step once, so why no reaction?

Previously, when Lu Xuan deduced Blazing Fire Saber Technique, one System point was enough.

Could it be that different Cultivation Techniques require different amounts of System points?

"How about it? Now that I've given you the Martial Art Body Technique first, you can finally trust me, right?"

The man surnamed Zhang spoke again, but his previous assertiveness was gone.

After all, to gamble on this hope, he had given everything of value to the other party.

He was only betting that the other party could help him. If the other party went back on their word, then it was just his fate.

After confirming that the Martial Art Body Technique was correct, Lu Xuan naturally wouldn't go back on his word.

As for the matter of the purple blood spirit herb, whether it was true or false, he would only know by going to investigate then.

It didn't matter if it was false, after all, the Martial Art Body Technique he most desired was already in his hands.

Lu Xuan no longer hesitated and agreed to the man's terms, uttering one word: "Acceptable!"

The man was overjoyed, knowing he had made the right gamble: "Really!"

Daughter, did you hear that?

You wait, your father will soon send that beast to Hell, so he can also experience the pain you suffered.

Lu Xuan saw that the man was still not moving and was a little confused, "Senior Zhang, are you planning to enter the city with us like this?"

This man reeked strongly and his clothes were in tatters, like a beggar.

In this state, he would probably be driven away by the city gate guards before even getting close to the city gate.

"Please wait a moment, I'll be ready soon!"

The man reacted, knowing that in his current state, he couldn't even approach the city gate, let alone enter the city.

So, the man moved quickly and immediately went to another spot, digging out a wooden box from the ground with both hands.

The man gently caressed the surface of the wooden box, looking very tender.

Because inside were all the mementos his daughter had left him.

The man took out a simple cloth garment, held it as if it were a treasure, and then quickly left the dilapidated temple in a certain direction.

"Xuan Ge, that guy is crazy, did you settle things with him?"

At this moment, Liang Cheng, who had been observing from a distance, walked over, looking at the departing man with some confusion.

During the conversation between Lu Xuan and the man just now, Liang Cheng was very smart and had no intention of prying.

"Mhm."

In less than an hour, the man rushed back from a distance, and with a few strides, he was once again in front of Lu Xuan and the others.

At this time, the man's appearance had changed greatly. All the accumulated dirt of many years had been cleaned off, and he was wearing a clean, simple cloth garment.

He wore a crude straw hat on his head, concealing his original appearance, but the man's long hair still looked a bit disheveled.

.......

Qingxiang Brothel!

The largest pleasure quarter in the county town. The guests inside were all of extraordinary backgrounds, noble and wealthy young masters.

To be able to establish such a large pleasure quarter in the heart of the county town showed how capable the proprietor of Qingxiang Brothel was.

Once, a wealthy young master caused trouble inside and ended up having one leg broken.

It was said that his family even had a relative connection with the county magistrate, but they didn't dare to utter a single sound, and the matter eventually died down.

Inside Qingxiang Brothel, various fragrances intertwined, and many young, beautiful women constantly moved through it, as if searching for suitable prey.

Outside a luxurious and exquisite private room on the second floor, there were four strong and tall men, all with fierce expressions on their faces, making people intimidated.

Inside the private room, a young man who looked overindulged was embracing a beautiful woman in disheveled clothes on each side.

"Brother Huang, it's getting late. I think it's time to return to the mansion."

In front of the young man, two other young men were seated, both looking at the young man with fawning and flattering expressions as they spoke.

Upon hearing this, the young man immediately lost interest and waved his hand: "Forget it, this young master is going back to the mansion."

Then, as he got up, one hand forcefully grabbed the softness beside him, showing no intention of being gentle.

A pained cry from the other party even made the young man reveal an extremely pleased and wicked expression.

On the road, the night was hazy, and pedestrians on the street gradually became sparse.

When the young man, accompanied by four strong guards, walked onto a deserted alley.

Two figures slowly emerged from the front, blocking their path back.

Both figures wore straw hats, making their faces indistinguishable.

Of course, upon seeing the young man, one of the figures lifted his straw hat, revealing his true face.

It was a man. At this moment, a mad smile appeared on his face, his eyes as venomous as a snake. He looked at the young man, speaking through gritted teeth.

"Beast, do you still recognize me? I've been thinking about you constantly!"
