All the heavens, starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

Chapter 23 The Name of Wang Gan
A night of silence,
Both Wang Gan and his companion possessed profound internal strength.
Tie Chuanjia possessed the skills of a virgin, and in terms of the purity of his internal energy alone, he ranked among the best in the entire martial arts world.

Wang Gan inherited Wang Lianhua's skills, and his internal strength cultivation was also top-notch.

There's no need to light a fire inside the Fengxue Mountain Temple.

The two of them simply sat in meditation and circulated their internal energy, which warmed the entire room.

When I woke up the next day,
Wang Gan opened his eyes, his divine light shining within. With a gentle shake, the snowflakes on his body scattered like cotton wool, leaving him spotless.

Despite meditating all night, I felt no soreness or numbness; on the contrary, I felt refreshed and full of energy.

Looking in the direction of Tie Chuanjia, one could see that smoke was rising from his head, and his body was like a furnace, baking away every snowflake, turning it into streams of water that swirled on the ground.

"What a fine Pure Yang Boy Skill! Brother Tie's internal strength is so great that he has probably already cultivated an internal fire that is impervious to heat and cold!"

Wang Gan laughed heartily and exclaimed in sincere admiration.

Gu Long's martial arts world does not emphasize internal energy cultivation, but that does not mean it does not exist or is inferior to Jin Yong's system.

On the contrary, many top masters also win by using internal energy, and can use internal energy to reach all sorts of incredible realms.

For example, Shui Mu Yin Ji, Yan Nantian, and Shen Lang were all unparalleled figures whose internal strength had reached an incredible level, and they dominated for a time.

Although Tie Chuanjia is not described in much detail in the original work, he is a hidden master of internal strength.

"Young Master, you're exaggerating. This is just my old-fashioned skill."

"Compared to Young Master Gan's ability to conceal divine power, it is still far inferior."

Tie Chuanjia shook his head.
He was no novice in the martial arts world; compared to his seemingly formidable, furnace-like internal energy, he was far more formidable.
But Wang Gan remained unaffected by heat or cold overnight, without revealing the slightest trace of his inner energy. Not even a single snowflake melted from his clothes, which was the true skill of his inner divine light.

Having experienced so many years in the martial world, Tie Chuanjia had only ever seen such internal strength cultivation in his own young master.

"Ha, what's that to me? I've seen freaks who fought countless masters for seven days and seven nights, only to recover completely after resting for an hour."

"There are also superhumans who can hold their breath underwater for seven days and seven nights, and whose palm strikes can cause monstrous waves in the middle of a lake,"

"And even more, there are goddesses who are eternally youthful and possess boundless, inexhaustible inner strength!"

"In comparison."

Wang Gan chuckled lightly.

His skills mainly came from the Lianhua Treasure Mirror. Although Wang Lianhua's martial arts were high, he was hampered by the word "miscellaneous" and his internal strength could not reach the peak, which is why Shen Lang always had the upper hand.

"This"

"I never imagined there were so many amazing characters in the world. I must have been a frog in a well."

Tie Chuanjia found it unbelievable, as if it were a myth. Could there really be such a person in the world?
Seeing that Wang Gan's expression didn't seem fake, Tie Chuanjia couldn't help but sigh.

The two left the dilapidated temple and traveled together.

Tie Chuanjia was worried about his young master and wanted to inquire about Li Xunhuan's situation.
The two arrived at a tea stall outside Baoding Prefecture, where they sat down to rest.

Although the tea stall was small, it was quite popular, with people sitting in small groups all around.

In the center of the tea stall, there was an old storyteller and a girl with a braid.
The old man had a full head of white hair and a pipe in his hand that he had been playing with for who knows how long, making him look somewhat unkempt.

The girl with braids was simply dressed, but her beauty was undeniable, especially her large, captivating eyes.

"The plum blossoms steal the fragrance of plum blossoms, and the ways of Xingyun Manor are ever-changing."

"Little Li Flying Dagger cannot contain his emotions."

The girl with braids played the clappers with great skill, and her recitation of doggerel immediately drew everyone's attention.

"Then what?!"

"Say it quickly!"

The wandering swordsmen, unable to contain their curiosity, kept urging the girl with the braid to reveal the meaning of the last line of the poem.

"Support me financially, support me in person!"

The girl with the braids smiled slyly, picked up her clappers, and begged for money from those around her. "Hey! You little girl, you've got quite a few tricks up your sleeve!"

"I can go to you!"

"Take it, take it, hurry up and continue the story!"

The faces of the wandering swordsmen changed. Some cursed loudly, while others, not caring about the small amount of money, threw a lot of silver at the girl with the braid.

"That's interesting..."

Wang Gan smiled slightly, observing the grandfather and grandson with great interest.

Upon hearing the words "Little Li Flying Dagger," Tie Chuanjia was already impatient and immediately threw a silver ingot over from a distance.

The girl with the braids' eyes lit up. She quickly took the silver ingot and even tried biting into it, leaving a cute tooth mark.

The girl with the braid happily put the money away before continuing.

"Speaking of which, the two hottest and most talked-about events in the martial arts world right now are undoubtedly the appearance of the Plum Blossom Thief,"

"The Plum Blossom Bandit, who roamed the world and wreaked havoc thirty years ago, has reappeared. This time, he has committed more than eighty major crimes as soon as he came out of the mountains!"

"Even the daughter of the Huashan Sect leader was violated by him!"

"Later, rumors spread that the Plum Blossom Bandits had their eyes on the most beautiful woman in the world—Lin Xian'er—who lived in Xingyun Manor!"

At this point, the surrounding martial arts practitioners were displeased. "This is all news from many years ago. Why would you, a young girl, need to bring it up?"

Tell us something we don't know!

"If you say that again, I'm going to refund your money!"

The girl with the braids remained calm, tapped her clappers, and then began to speak.
“Then we need to talk about something else,”

"There's another thing I don't know either."

The faces of the martial arts practitioners changed. Were they playing a trick on us?
Just as he was about to slam his fist on the table in anger, the girl with the braid changed the subject.

"However, my grandfather knows!"

The crowd was furious after being tricked several times, but they kept quiet out of respect for the storyteller.

The white-haired old man calmly lit his pipe and continued speaking.

"Another thing is that a few months ago, when the Plum Blossom Bandits first emerged from the mountains, it just so happened that the world-famous Little Li Flying Dagger and the renowned Little Li Exploring Flower were also there."

"That is, Li Xunhuan, the former owner of Xingyun Manor, has returned from beyond the Great Wall!"

"Li Xunhuan has not only returned, but he has also brought someone with him!"

The martial arts practitioners were all curious and pricked up their ears, not daring to miss a single detail.

"Who did you bring?!"

The white-haired old man quietly uttered two words.
"Wang Gan!"

Upon hearing the familiar name, Tie Chuanjia's expression changed, and he looked at Wang Gan beside him.

To everyone's surprise, Wang Gan remained calm and composed, sitting at the table and drinking tea continuously.

The girl with the braid asked curiously,
"Who is this Wang Gan? I've never heard of him in the martial arts world before."

The white-haired old man's expression was meaningful.

"I had never heard of him before, but after that, everyone in the world will have heard of Wang Gan's name."

The girl with braids blinked her bright, lively eyes.
"Could it be that Wang Gan's martial arts skills are exceptionally high, enabling him to become famous so quickly?"

The white-haired old man exhaled a puff of smoke.

"You shouldn't ask me this. You should ask 'Swift as the Shadow' Yu Er, 'Poisonous Mantis' Tang Du, 'Iron-Hearted' Qin Xiaoyi, and 'Iron-Faced' Zhao Zhengyi."

　Gentlemen, I love votes!
