Chapter 008: Recharge Restrictions
After such a busy half day, the sky has already turned dark
Internal cultivation: Golden Goose Skill [Blue], Primal Skill Remnant [Purple]
Green-headed dart, Level 2, Second tier
By that time, it was also the moment for him to descend the mountain
The three parties owe a debt of gratitude to Meizhuang, which contradicts their fundamental moral principles
Although the matter of the Primordial Skill has long been a lingering thought in my mind, I have come to understand it before my death. Throughout history, many ancient texts have been lost, and the Primordial Skill is merely one of the inconspicuous ones among them. If it can be recovered, it would indeed be a blessing for Longmen; if it cannot be recovered, then it is as it should be, and there is no need to force it.
Xu Lang
Xu Lang hesitated for a moment over this portion of privileges, and then closed the system interface
Xu Lang did not dare to disturb, using the Golden Goose technique to walk silently, he quietly approached the front. Upon seeing the name "Xu Lang" written on the letter, he knew that this letter was meant for him. He then took it in his hand and gently pulled out the letter from the envelope.
With such thoughts in mind, Xu Lang arrived at Master Xu's door, extended his hand to gently knock, and tentatively called out: "Master?"
In the early morning, Xu Lang practiced sword techniques nine times in the Yunxia Temple. He also went through the Thirty-Three Deadly Fist and the Longmen Capture Hand techniques. Before he realized it, noon had arrived, and seeing that there was no sign of Master Xu, Xu Lang inquired with the Daoist in the kitchen.
In my early years, I had several disciples, but some perished at Tumu Fortress, and others died in Jingxiang. Now, in my heart, there are only two disciples left, one is you, and the other is Shouren
Dragon Gate Capture Technique [Green] [Level 5] [Second Rank]
Master
The Daoist shook his head and said, "The true person is often like a dragon, seen at the head but not at the tail"
Nevertheless, Xu Lang has indeed gained a lot at the Yunxia Temple
Xu Lang also learned this at Meizhuang in West Lake
Within the Mei Manor, there are many valuable items, yet Xu Lang, as a guardian, has not made any contributions for a long time, causing his progress in strength to be exceedingly slow. The reasons for this are threefold
Now he is holding the ingot, but it cannot be recharged; he must wait for seven days before he can obtain the Golden Snake Manual.
Activate certain privileges after the first recharge
He did not recharge the stringed golden snake sword immediately, not merely because it was a relic of his master's books, but more importantly, the system stipulated that the wealth obtained must belong to him for seven days before he could freely recharge it
Xu Lang reached out to touch Xu Zhenren's chest, finding no heartbeat; he then touched Xu Zhenren's pulse, discovering it was completely absent
Before meeting you and Shouren, I had already severed all ties and grievances. You, under the banner of the Longmen lineage in the martial world, are unlikely to encounter any misfortune
The two parties are merely experiencing a delay in recharging and cannot steal funds
However, such strength is still insignificant in the realm of martial arts; nonetheless, for Xu Lang, it represents a significant starting point
A letter of testament, mostly filled with admonitions to Xu Lang, while the arrangements for his funeral are stated to be simple. It is sufficient to dig a pit in this mountain, lay down pine and cypress branches, and there is no need for a coffin; he should be placed inside and buried. If a coffin is used, it would instead hinder his burial.
At the time of my birth, the Yongle Emperor had just ascended the throne, and in the blink of an eye, over a hundred years have passed
Following the instructions of Master Xu, Xu Lang held a shovel in his hand and dug a pit under the pine and cypress trees on the back mountain. He then lined the entire grave pit with branches and leaves, putting in great effort to prepare it well. After that, he went to the Taoist temple, without asking anyone for assistance, and carried Master Xu on his back to the grave pit, where he buried him.
Internal Skill: Innate Skill Fragment [Purple] [Second Level] [Twelfth Rank]
Parting in life and death, I, as your teacher, have already experienced far too much. The most bothersome are the childish attitudes before death. One must understand that life and death are as inevitable as the changing of the seasons; they are a natural occurrence in the world. I have merely completed this segment of my journey. If there is truly anything that I cannot let go of, it is merely you, my newly initiated disciple
One, there is no channel for disposing of stolen goods; many businesses in Hangzhou are related to Meizhuang. Once obtained, it will only bring trouble to oneself
Martial Arts: Thirty-Six Swords of Longmen [Blue] [Third Level] [Ninth Rank]
This is the relic left by Master Xu for Xu Lang
After weighing it a couple of times, Xu Lang placed the ingot in front of him
The human heart possesses both goodness and evil, and a small amount of wealth can easily reverse these inclinations. If you disclose knowledge of treasures in the world, it will undoubtedly bring you endless troubles. However, with your quick wit, you will surely be able to turn danger into safety
Xu Lang returned to the Taoist temple, sighed deeply, and reached out to open Master Xu's cabinet. Following Master Xu's instructions, he retrieved a small box from inside. Upon opening it, he saw a bag of gold ingots, roughly estimating that there were about twenty taels.
Martial arts evaluation: A preliminary glimpse into the path
Thirty-Three Days of Deadly Fist [Blue] [Second Tier] [Level Two]
In these days, the vivid teachings of Master Xu have surged to the forefront of Xu Lang's mind, filling his heart with a bittersweet sensation, and his gaze inadvertently fell upon the letter in his hand
This master has actually been dead for quite some time
At the moment of knocking, the door trembled, allowing Xu Lang to realize that the door was not tightly shut. He reached out and pushed, easily opening the door. Upon entering, he saw Master Xu sitting quietly on a mat, his eyes tightly closed and utterly silent, with a letter placed before him.
Basic Pile Skill [White] [Fourth Order] [Level 40]
Six taels of gold initial recharge package
Descending the mountain
You possess great talent, and in a short period, you have already mastered all my martial arts. As your teacher, I have nothing more to teach you. However, the essence of martial arts lies primarily in diligence. Only through hard work and practice can one establish a foothold in this world of martial arts. If you wish to reach the pinnacle, it will depend on your insight and opportunities.
The first paragraph of this letter immediately gave Xu Lang a bad premonition. He quickly reached out his hand and placed it before Master Xu's nose. The touch was icy, and his face lacked the elasticity of the past, appearing completely rigid.
The Longmen Sect has been passed down for many years, and many martial arts techniques have evolved to varying degrees. For instance, the renowned "One Qi Transforming into Three Pure Ones" sword technique has no lineage here. Among the inherited martial arts, apart from the original Golden Goose Skill, the entire Longmen Sect possesses only the Longmen Thirty-Six Swords and the Thirty-Three Heavenly Deadly Fists, both of which are blue martial arts. They have completely lost their status as the authentic martial arts of the world from back in the day
Longmen Baguazhang [Green] [Second Level] [Second Rank]
There is not a sound within.
They may have gone down the mountain
Meditation and cultivation
Holding the letter in his hand, Xu Lang felt a sense of unease in his heart. He recalled what his master had said before, "Time is running out," and he never expected it to be so true, leading to this farewell arriving with such urgency.
Xu Lang furrowed his brow slightly; he had risen extremely early this morning, and the doors of the Daoist temple were still tightly shut. Furthermore, after practicing martial arts consecutively, he had not seen the door of Master Xu open at all.
