These tiny hidden weapons possess incredible penetrating power. With over eighty years of arduous cultivation, Wang Lei has developed innate vital energy that is impervious to blades and axes, and resistant to fire and water.

On this day, the contemporary head of the Wang family from Jinyutang, Master Wang Lei, celebrated his ninetieth birthday, being the actual leader of the martial arts community in Central Plains. Coinciding with late autumn, chrysanthemums bloomed vigorously in Luoyang and the book city, painting the entire city in golden hues. The sound of gongs and drums filled the air, and the resonating calls of horns echoed as waves of well-dressed, spirited horsemen marched proudly towards the Wang family courtyard to pay their respects. Outside the Wang family courtyard, carriages and sedan chairs gathered in droves, congesting the street to the point of being impassable, as officials from the court and various powerful figures came to present their gifts to the Wang family.
Old master Wang Lei exclaimed, "Retreat!" With a vigorous wave of his arm, he unleashed the innate vital energy cultivated over more than eighty years, sending dozens of nearby distinguished guests flying, spitting blood.

Wang Lei gestured to his eldest son, summoning him and instructing, "Find this Hua Wu and ask him what he wishes to request. Such a birthday gift, tsk tsk!" Wang Lei was so excited that it seemed blood might seep from his face; this piece of white jade longevity star was indeed worthy of being the treasure of the Wang family.
