15: Chapter 15: The Mountain-Shaking Fist Manual, the Nascent Soul Water Dragon! A storm is brewing!

Seeing that their emotions had stabilized slightly, Yang Simu then recounted the whole story in detail.

Of course, he attributed all his intentions of wanting to kill Chen Pingan to Liu Zhimao, and did not involve Gu Can's mother.

The middle-aged woman just lowered her head and wiped her tears, not saying a word.

Liu Xianyang said angrily, "That bullshit Fairy from whatever Yunxia Mountain, and that Old Devil Liu from Shujian Lake, they really deserve to die!"

"I'm going to go risk my life against them right now!"

Hearing this, Chen Pingan quickly pulled him back. "I've seen Young Master Yang and Cai Jinjian in action; you are no match for them!"

"Are we just going to let it go then?!" Liu Xianyang said through gritted teeth.

Back then, if it hadn't been for Chen Pingan's shout, Liu Xianyang might have died in that small alley.

Therefore, over these years, he had always regarded this straw-sandaled youth as his best friend.

He was before, and he would be in the future!

Chen Pingan's gaze fell upon Yang Simu.

Only then did Liu Xianyang recall the reason Chen Pingan had called him over, and he immediately looked at the youth in green robes.

"He's not even as handsome as I am!" Liu Xianyang curled his lip inwardly.

Yang Simu smiled and said, "Don't worry, the one who has offended Cai Jinjian and Liu Zhimao now is me."

"So, they shouldn't come looking for trouble with Chen Pingan anymore."

"However, Liu Zhimao's original target was Gu Can and the Little Loach in his hands."

"The methods of those Outsiders will only be more ruthless than you can imagine!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Pingan's expression became solemn, while Liu Xianyang only frowned slightly.

The middle-aged woman wept and pleaded, "Young Master Yang, as long as you can save my Gu Can, we don't want that Little Loach anymore!"

"No... no way, this Little Loach originally belonged to Chen Pingan!" Gu Can shouted hurriedly.

Fearing that Chen Pingan would agree, Little Snotty shouted again:

"Chen Pingan, the Little Loach is very powerful, don't give it to others!"

Chen Pingan glared at Gu Can, and the child immediately shut his mouth, not daring to speak further.

The straw-sandaled youth looked at Yang Simu again and asked seriously, "Young Master Yang, if I give this Little Loach to you, can you really save Gu Can and his mother?"

Yang Simu nodded. "Definitely!"

Chen Pingan took a deep breath and said, "Alright, I promise you!"

The middle-aged woman breathed a sigh of relief, but Gu Can was whimpering.

Yang Simu then mentioned that Chen Pingan had been flicked on the forehead by Cai Jinjian and needed a fist manual from Gu Can's family to Cultivate.

The middle-aged woman's expression was somewhat blank.

However, Little Snotty had already run quickly into the house, rummaging around, and brought out an ancient fist manual.

It was named the Mountain-Shaking Fist!

Yang Simu took the Mountain-Shaking Fist Manual into his hands.

[Congratulations to the Host for successfully intercepting the Mountain-Shaking Fist Manual!]

[The relevant memories regarding the Mountain-Shaking Fist Manual have been transferred into the Host's mind.]

[The System has opened a key Acupoint for the Host.]

Yang Simu was overjoyed, and only then did he hand the Mountain-Shaking Fist Manual to Chen Pingan.

The straw-sandaled youth said blankly, "I can't read!"

Yang Simu gave a meaningful smile.

Next, he spoke to Liu Xianyang about his family's ancestral dark green houzi armor and the Sword Manual.

Yang Simu said without reservation, "It was indeed a bit heartless of me to offer only five gold-essence copper coins for your family's houzi armor."

"I also know that you cannot produce that Sword Manual right now."

"But those Outsiders won't think that way!"

"They will only think that you are unwilling to sell it to them!"

"In that case, what those people cannot have, they won't let others have either!"

Liu Xianyang gritted his teeth and said, "Are you saying they are very likely to try and kill me?"

Yang Simu nodded.

"Young Master Yang, do you have a way?" Chen Pingan hurriedly followed up.

Yang Simu grinned, revealing a row of pearly white teeth.

...

Ten minutes later, a youth in green robes, carrying a large bundle on his back, holding a dragon king basket in his left hand and an ancient book in his right, walked out of Niping Lane!

Inside the dragon king basket, a lively Little Loach was swimming about, along with a dozen or so shimmering pebbles.

From that ancient book, wisps of Sword Qi were even overflowing!

[Congratulations to the Host for successfully intercepting a Nascent Soul Stage Water Dragon!]

[The System has opened a key Acupoint within the Host's body to serve as a residence for the Water Dragon.]

[Congratulations to the Host for successfully intercepting fifteen high-grade snake gall stones!]

[The System has opened fifteen ordinary Acupoints within the Host's body.]

A dejected immortal Cultivator happened to see this scene, his eyes widening immediately; he almost resorted to the deeds of a Rogue Cultivator, committing murder and robbery!

And this matter quickly spread to the ears of all the Cultivators who had entered the Lizhu Blessed Land in search of opportunities!

In an unknown alley, a white-robed old man stood before the Great Sui Prince Gao Xuan, bowing respectfully as he reported:

"Young Master, I have investigated thoroughly. Although that Senior has been living in Yangs Shop in Erlang Lane,"

"the Yang family who runs the pharmacy has little connection with the Senior in the backyard."

"I also heard that last year, the youth named Yang Simu even threatened to drive that Senior away."

"Although the matter eventually came to nothing,"

"Yang Simu's relationship with that Senior is definitely not good!"

After hearing the white-robed old man's words, Prince Gao Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly. "In other words, Yang Simu was completely bluffing us that day!"

The white-robed old man nodded helplessly.

Immediately after, he spoke of how someone had seen Yang Simu coming out of Niping Lane today with large bundles, seemingly having obtained another great Opportunity from the town!

Especially that book, which was very likely the Sword Manual that Zhengyang Mountain was determined to get on this trip!

Prince Gao Xuan no longer had the heart to be angry and smiled, "This Yang Simu really does have some skill."

"Let them fight amongst themselves like the snipe and the clam; we can just sit back and reap the rewards as the fisherman!"

The white-robed old man nodded with a smile.

Another Great Sui Prince—Prince Gao Zhen—also gritted his teeth in hatred after learning of this!

River-Intercepting True Monarch Liu Zhimao, Fu Nanhua of Old Dragon City, and Cai Jinjian of Yunxia Mountain all wished they could cut the youth in green robes, who had intercepted their opportunities, into a thousand pieces!

Not long after, Liu Xianyang moved his family's ancestral houzi armor into the Caotou Shop in Qilong Alley, further proving the truth of the matter!

For a time, almost all the Outsiders who had entered the town to seek opportunities could not help their curiosity and came to the outside of the Caotou Shop to investigate.

They saw a sign with black characters on a white background hung outside the shop.

It read: "This shop sells various antiques and curios from the town. Prices are fair. Interested parties please negotiate in person."

A curious person stepped forward to ask the price of a broken tile, and the shopkeeper, the youth in green robes, actually dared to demand ten gold-essence copper coins!

In an elegant courtyard, a burly old man, whose true form was an ancient Mountain-Moving Ape, had a little girl sitting on his shoulders.

This old ape of Zhengyang Mountain gave a sneer and said, "This youth named Yang Simu really has a lot of nerve!"

"Unfortunately, will he live to enjoy it?!"

"Regardless of other opportunities, the houzi armor and the Liu family's Sword Manual are things our Zhengyang Mountain must obtain!"

The next day.

The entire town was in a state of flux; a storm was truly brewing!
