Is this NPC even playable if it's not nerfed?

Chapter 81 The Fall of the Sacred Flame Fist, the Supreme Elder of Five Tiger Mountain

"Let's not worry about that for now, let's loot first, otherwise others will have already looted everything. After we're done looting, we can ask the NPC what happened."

"Yes, yes, yes."

"By the way, bro, how many did you kill?"

"About ten, mainly for finishing off enemies. Our poison bombs aren't very effective; the poison isn't strong enough. They take a minute to die after falling to the ground. Look at that guy, his poison bombs are incredibly powerful; he died in ten seconds. He got quite a haul."

As one of the constable players was talking, he pointed to another constable player who was searching for loot not far from them.

“It’s him. I recognize him. His formula is different from ours. His poison is very expensive, more than ten taels a packet, while our poison is only a few taels of silver. It’s normal that we can’t compare to him.”

"There's no other way then. We can only save up more money next time and go for something a little more intense."

"Brother, I think I've shipped the goods."

Suddenly, the player constable bent down and pulled a book from the corpse's arms.

The book is marked with the character "玄".

"Holy crap, a Xuan-level cultivation technique."

"Look, quickly open it and see which Xuan-level cultivation technique this is?"

Another constable said excitedly.

The players and constables who were nearby heard the commotion and came over as well.

"Wow, bro, you're so lucky!"

This guy's eyes were full of envy.

If he hadn't already been a constable, he would have wanted to rob it.

After all, Xuan-level cultivation techniques are extremely rare.

"May my ancestors bless me, and I will successfully ship the goods."

The player, a constable, opened the book.

next moment.

He heard a system notification in his ear.

[Ding! You have obtained a Xuan-level martial arts manual.]

Sacred Flame Fist (Mystic Rank): The sacred flame shines brightly, meow meow meow meow. It is an extremely ruthless Mystic Rank martial art, similar to the Seven Injury Fist. The true energy is accompanied by fire poison, which corrodes the five internal organs and cooks people. Strength value +10.

[Beep, do you want to study?]

"Holy Fire Fist, I'm in!"

"Why not Thunder Hand?"

"Thunderbolt Hand is so cool."

"Even if it weren't Thunderclap Hand, I could accept Rain Flower Sword and Dragon Slayer Slash, so why did it have to be Holy Fire Fist?"

"Ahhh, I don't want the Holy Fire Fist!"

The player was somewhat distraught after seeing the system notification.

The Sacred Flame Fist is great, but he wants a few other styles.

……

As is widely known, Five Tiger Mountain has five extremely powerful Xuan-level martial arts techniques, which are passed down through five lineages.

These five lineages all originated from the renowned Master Longhu, who lived hundreds of years ago.

These five martial arts are: Heavenly Tiger Fiend Skill, Thunderclap Hand, Sacred Fire Fist, Dragon Slayer Slash, and Rain Flower Sword Technique.

Zhang Daneng inherited the Heavenly Tiger Fiend Skill, which is also the strongest martial art of Five Tiger Mountain.

Most of the leaders of Wuhu Mountain throughout history came from this lineage, while a small number came from the Benlei Shou lineage.

Although the players have not witnessed the Heavenly Tiger Fiend Skill, they have witnessed the other four martial arts.

It must be said that the special effects of the other three martial arts besides the Sacred Flame Fist are very impressive.

Especially the Thunder Hand and Dragon Slayer Slash, the special effects are incredibly cool and awesome.

The Rain Flower Sword is second best.

While the Sacred Flame Fist is powerful, its special effects are rather lackluster compared to the other three techniques.

They don't deserve to sit at the same table at all.

……

"You little brat, you're acting innocent after getting a good deal. This is a Xuan-level martial art, and the special effects aren't bad either."

"It's just that the special effects aren't as good as the other three martial arts."

His companion offered a few words of comfort.

"If you don't want it, then sell it to me. Name your price."

The players who approached wanted this martial art.

The special effects of the Sacred Flame Fist are actually quite good.

You can cosplay Kyo Kusanagi without any cost.

"That won't work."

"Although the Sacred Flame Fist is below my expectations, it is still the only martial art I currently possess with a grade."

"I just reached level 30. A level 30 player doesn't even have a single high-grade martial arts manual. It's embarrassing."

He refused the offer to sell.

"Alright then, even if the deal falls through, let's stay friends. Brother, if you get the second copy, please be sure to contact me."

“I can offer 500,000.” Currently, Xuan-level martial arts techniques on the market generally range from 200,000 to 600,000.

His offer of 500,000 is already considered very sincere.

As for the Canglan Sword Technique, which costs millions, it's partly due to the early release of the technique, and partly due to some idiotic players maliciously driving up the price.

After all, this is only a Xuan-level martial arts manual.

No one would think that a Xuan-level martial arts manual could be worth millions.

Moreover, as more and more players acquire Xuan-level martial arts techniques, their price will drop accordingly.

It's currently worth between 200,000 and 600,000, but after a while, it might only sell for 100,000 or even less.

……

"Wow, 500,000, I'm tempted."

"You can buy a house in a fifth-tier county town now."

The player joked.

"Don't do things that are short-sighted and wasteful. The most important thing right now is to improve your combat power and level up. Once you catch up with the top tier, there will be plenty of opportunities to make money."

"Haha, I know."

……

"it's wired."

"I have this feeling that I didn't wipe myself properly after taking a dump."

"This is really inexplicable."

Lu Yuan put on his coat, mounted his horse, and was about to leave when he suddenly felt something was wrong.

I feel like there are still some things I haven't done.

Are the Five Tigers Mountain still alive?
Lu Yuan glanced in the direction of Five Tiger Mountain.

The original location of the Five Tiger Mountain gate is now empty, and even the main peak where the gate was located has disappeared.

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any survivors from the Five Tigers Sect.

Could it be Old Zhang?

Lu Yuan glanced at Zhang Daneng.

Then he shook his head.

No, Old Zhang won't.

Because he is a smart man.

Intelligent people are afraid of death.

He had no reason, nor did he dare to, feign surrender.

"Chief Constable, there should still be people on Five Tiger Mountain."

"The people of Wuhu Mountain are not all dead yet."

“Those who are hostile to us and still have the ability to rebuild the mountain gate are still alive.”

A player rushed up and shouted.

"Hey, what do you mean?"

"Weren't all the people from Five Tiger Mountain dead?"

"Could there be survivors under these ruins? Do you think that's possible?"

"Or do you suspect me, and them?"

"You can't just make things up without evidence."

“I am the most law-abiding citizen. I am not hostile to the imperial court. I am a good citizen of Wangyou County.”

"Besides, I am no longer the leader of Five Tiger Mountain. I am now the leader of Five Tiger Sect, a martial arts school registered with the government. As for them, they have all left Five Tiger Mountain and joined Five Tiger Sect."

"Five Tiger Mountain is Five Tiger Mountain, and Five Tiger Gate is Five Tiger Gate. They cannot be confused, brother."

Before Lu Yuan could even express his opinion, Zhang Daneng, who was standing to the side, became anxious.

Fearing that Lu Yuan might listen to the strange constable and punch him too.

"Old Zhang, don't rush."

"Let me ask first, besides those elders and their disciples, are there any other people on Five Tiger Mountain?"

"Listen carefully, I'm talking about people who are hostile to the imperial court and have the ability to rebuild Five Tiger Mountain. As for those disciples who left Five Tiger Mountain for various reasons, let's not talk about them; they don't have the ability to rebuild the mountain gate either."

Lu Yuan reminded him.

"let me see."

Give me a moment to drink a cup of tea.

Zhang Daneng racked his brains, trying to think of a solution, when suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him.

"I remember."

Yes, there really is.

“My martial uncle, the Supreme Elder of Five Tiger Mountain, might not be dead yet.”
