383: Obtained the skill, White Stone Fist

"Uncle Da Wu, Uncle Da Wu?"

Da Wu was shaken awake.

He looked at Su Yongchun before him, then glanced at the sky as dusk approached.

He stood up abruptly.

"Oh no, how long have I been asleep?" Da Wu struggled to open his eyes, looking as if he hadn't fully woken up yet.

"I don't know. You've been sleeping here since quite early, Uncle Da Wu. I didn't know what to do, so I just stayed here with you."

"It's my fault, my fault for falling into such a deep sleep." Da Wu didn't have time to investigate why he had fallen asleep.

He hurriedly grabbed Su Yongchun and rushed toward the place where he had agreed to meet Village Chief Bai Zong.

From afar, they could see Bai Zong pacing back and forth with a dark expression on his face.

"Village Chief!" Da Wu shouted.

"Why are you only just arriving? I've been waiting for you for several hours!" Upon seeing them, Bai Zong felt a wave of relief, but a fire of anger rose within him at the same time.

"I overslept." Da Wu scratched his head, feeling a bit awkward.

"Overslept? You fell asleep? Did you go to a brothel or something?!" Bai Zong fumed, his beard bristling. He had originally thought Su Wa Zi had delayed them, but he hadn't expected that Da Wu, whom he had sent, would waste so much of his time.

If he had just let Su Wa Zi go by himself,

they could have left long ago!

"I'll deal with you when we get back to the village!" Pointing angrily at the head-bowing Da Wu, Bai Zong said through gritted teeth.

On the carriage.

Watching Bai Zong, who had a dark expression the entire time, Da Wu gave an awkward cough: "Village Chief, did the government agree to send people down to exterminate the snake den?"

Hearing this question, Bai Zong frowned and remained silent.

After a while, he said: "They agreed, but we have to wait for a while."

"Wait for a while? How long?" Hoping to liven up the atmosphere, Da Wu followed up with the question.

"Three or five months, I suppose." When Bai Zong said this, his tone carried a hint of helplessness.

"Three or five months? Why so long? In such a long time, who knows if that Snake Demon will still be there?!"

"What other way is there? That's just what the government said!" Bai Zong also looked furious: "The epidemic in Yuanquan City has killed over a hundred thousand people! Now the place is full of rebels! There are even ghosts and monsters!"

"The experts from the county office have all been sent to Yuanquan City to suppress those monsters and demons."

"It's not even clear if they can suppress them. If the rebels run over to our side, I'm afraid we won't even need the Snake Demon to make a move; we'll die at the hands of the rebels instead!"

"Is it that serious?" Da Wu was also taken aback.

When Doctor Su went to Yuanquan City before, he had thought it was just a matter of an epidemic or something similar.

Now it seems that there are people in Yuanquan City wanting to rise up in rebellion!

Su Yongchun, sitting on the side, remained silent.

It seemed there was a record in the original work that in the history of Whale Country, there was once a crisis that nearly destroyed the nation.

It was very close to the era of Dragon Xuan.

The source of the incident was a supreme powerhouse in the Sealed Position Realm who wanted to forge a mythical weapon—the Ten Thousand Ghost Banner!

They sacrificed countless people, causing the people of Whale Country to suffer, leading to uprisings everywhere.

Later, after the chaos was quelled, the Ten Thousand Ghost Banner became experience for the protagonist, Dragon Xuan.

It seemed that he was currently in this very era!

Looking at it this way, it was indeed precarious.

However, at a time like this, it was even more important to keep a low profile and act like a transparent person.

As the deathly silent night scenery passed by outside the window, Su Yongchun let his thoughts drift, and suddenly he thought of another way to acquire a Cultivation Technique faster.

An Ding Village had a Cultivation Technique!

Combining this with the content he had seen in the original work, he could be certain that White Shark was a Martial Artist who had stepped into the Body Tempering Realm.

In other words, White Shark possessed a Cultivation Technique.

Although it was certainly the most ordinary Cultivation Technique, if he could reach Perfection in it, it would still be better than just poking people with needles, right?

There were no incidents on the way back to the village.

After bidding a superficially warm and grateful farewell to Bai Zong and the others, Su Yongchun returned to his room.

Host: Su Yongchun

Acupuncture (Unranked): Level 3 [Perfection]

Available Experience Points: 37

Looking at his attribute panel and thinking of those terrifying existences in this world, Su Yongchun shook his head.

The gap was truly huge.

There was no help for it; who told him to Transmigrate to such a barren place as the Great Yong Continent.

But that was also right.

This kind of place was relatively safer.

He just needed to wait for the System's Experience Points.

But if the Experience Points remained at 1 point every half hour, it was still too little.

No, that wasn't right.

In this world, there were countless places rich in various resources or filled with danger and horror.

Letting the [Experience Collector] extract seawater was only temporary.

Think of the poisonous miasma that had accumulated for tens of thousands of years in the swamp wastelands.

The endless corpses on the battlefields of the ten thousand nations.

The Yellow Springs beneath the Lan Sea.

The core magma of the volcanic continent.

Even right here in their Southern Border Sea Area, various types of seawater containing certain attributes were all opportunities for his Experience Points to skyrocket!

These things that no one wanted, and which many powerhouses even avoided, were all his nourishment!

Thinking of this, Su Yongchun felt excited.

However... he only had one [Experience Collector].

"Ding~ For every year the Host survives, the System will issue one [Experience Collector]."

"Whoa, that's good. I still have to keep a low profile."

The next day.

Su Yongchun brought his doctor's tools and arrived at White Shark's courtyard.

"Su Wa Zi, you really look like your father." In the courtyard, White Shark, who was doing rehabilitation exercises with the support of his wife, looked at Su Yongchun and said with a smile.

Su Yongchun smiled back: "My attainments in medicine are similar too."

"Alright, Uncle White Shark, go lie down in the room. I'll give you another full-body check-up to see how your body is doing."

He did not refuse. In the eyes of White Shark and his family, a physical check-up was the most normal thing.

In the room.

Looking at White Shark on the bed, Su Yongchun glanced at White Shark's wife, who was taking the children to do laundry.

"Uncle White Shark, I plan to perform Acupuncture on you again to see if I can force a bit more of the poison out of your body. That way, you'll recover faster."

"Alright, go ahead." White Shark nodded.

The next moment.

Without any resistance, his head tilted to the side, and he fell into a deep sleep.

He exhaled a slightly tense breath.

Su Yongchun walked toward the cabinet in the room.

They were all villagers, and their homes didn't have all sorts of furniture like wealthy families.

In this room, there was only one cabinet for storing things.

As the cabinet opened, a yellowed booklet appeared before Su Yongchun's eyes.

[White Stone Fist]

He had thought correctly.

"I'm sorry. If I asked directly, I'm afraid it would arouse your suspicion. I'm still too weak, so for the sake of safety, I have no choice but to resort to this."

Silently apologizing to White Shark, Su Yongchun opened the Secret Manual.

"Ding~ Cultivation Technique detected, recorded for the Host."

Host: Su Yongchun

Acupuncture (Unranked): Level 3 [Perfection]

White Stone Fist (Unranked): Beginner [0 / 100]

Available Experience Points: 54

Seeing that the recording on the panel was successful, Su Yongchun casually put the item back into the cabinet and returned to his original position as if nothing had happened.

After pretending to examine White Shark one more time, he returned to his own room.

Clicking on White Stone Fist on the panel, the relevant information appeared.

Unlike Acupuncture, which was for healing and saving lives,

White Stone Fist was a true Cultivation Technique!

It was divided into three stages.

Stone Fist, Iron Fist, Jade Fist.

With this Cultivation Technique, it would obviously be safer to accept bounty missions.
