Dual Transmigration: American Prison, Surviving to a Fantasy Development Stage
Chapter 43: The White Jade Token
This marks that Lin Feng has officially stepped into the threshold of the Inner Strength Realm and become a martial artist in the early stage of Inner Strength.
Although it's only a preliminary understanding and the internal strength is still shallow, a qualitative change has already occurred, and one is already familiar with the various applications of internal strength, thus avoiding several years of detours.
Authentic heretical cultivation.
Moreover, as Huang Xiong Huan's memories merged, a sharp and ruthless sword technique was also imprinted in Lin Feng's consciousness: the "Huang Family Sword Technique".
That's considered reaching the maximum level immediately.
Lin Feng stopped his stance, weighing his options. He had no intention of engaging in close combat.
According to Huang Xionghuan's experience, at the same level, an inch longer means an inch stronger.
Short weapons like swords and knives are no match for spears.
The idea of a single sword breaking a spear is just empty boasting.
When facing a skilled gunman, one is often at a great disadvantage if one cannot get close.
The spear was like a dragon; a single thrust would leave a bloody hole, and its control range was extremely large.
"Bows and arrows are still the safest option."
Locking in from a distance, a single, fatal blow; if not, run. The initiative is always in my hands.
They have truly grasped the essence of guerrilla warfare.
Next, Lin Feng turned his attention to the wooden box he had taken from the hidden compartment in Huang Xiong Huan's bedroom.
Upon opening the box, several items lay quietly inside: a thread-bound book with yellowed pages and worn edges.
A palm-sized, warm-to-the-touch white jade plaque.
And two neatly folded, well-printed gold notes.
He first picked up the gold notes and unfolded them; each note was worth fifty taels of gold, totaling one hundred taels.
The gold notes are exquisitely crafted with clear anti-counterfeiting features.
Lin Feng frowned slightly: "Gold tickets? Although these things are easy to exchange..."
However, the face value of the amount is too large, equivalent to withdrawing five million from a bank.
It's hard to say what will happen if so much is taken at once.
However, Wangchun Pavilion is a good place.
He thought for a moment, then carefully put it away.
That yellowed book was the original copy of the "Raging Bull Strength" kung fu technique that Huang Xionghuan cherished as his life.
Lin Feng quickly flipped through the document, and the contents were exactly the same as what he remembered, so this could be considered as having physical evidence.
Finally, his gaze fell on the white jade tablet.
The jade plaque is of excellent quality, pure white and flawless, with a subtle, flowing luster.
The front is engraved with a powerful "令" character in ancient seal script, while the back is decorated with a smooth and elegant auspicious cloud pattern in relief.
This jade pendant immediately triggered a hidden piece of information he had obtained from Huang Xiong Huan's memories.
About a year ago, the city lord of Yongguan City privately summoned the heads of the four major martial arts schools.
He mentioned it, seemingly unintentionally yet also intentionally, that he was looking for a special jade pendant.
The jade plaque is characterized by clouds engraved on one side and the character "令" (command) on the other, implying a generous reward for any leads reported.
The speaker may have been unintentional, but Huang Xiong Huan, the listener, remembered it vividly.
It's truly a case of coincidences.
About half a year ago, a young man in his early twenties with a travel-worn look came to Huang's pawnshop in a hurry to pawn a jade pendant.
The pawnshop manager was just going through the motions, but when he picked up the jade plaque, his heart skipped a beat. The shape and pattern were exactly what his boss had specifically instructed him to do.
He dared not delay, keeping Dang Ke calm while quickly sending someone to secretly inform Huang Xiong Huan.
When Huang Xiong Huan arrived and saw the jade pendant with his own eyes, his heart couldn't help but race.
The thing the city lord had been secretly searching for appeared before him in this way.
He almost immediately concluded that this thing was no ordinary object and must be involved in a greater secret or interest.
A bold and greedy thought instantly took hold of his mind: to conceal it and keep it for himself!
In an effort to silence him, Huang Xionghuan revealed his ruthless and merciless side.
He first pretended to agree to pawn the item to keep the young man calm.
Subsequently, he secretly killed all the clerks in the pawnshop who had handled the matter and the shopkeeper who knew the inside story.
As for the young man who pawned the jade pendant, he was secretly arrested and severely tortured to find out where the pendant came from.
Unfortunately, the young man had only found the jade by chance on an unidentified corpse in the mountains, and knew nothing about its origin or purpose.
Although he was unable to find out the origin of the jade pendant, Huang Xionghuan became increasingly convinced that it was an extraordinary object.
He kept it secret, acting as if nothing had happened.
As for secretly investigating the secrets of the "Command" auspicious cloud jade pendant, Huang Xionghuan did not do so.
He knew that nothing stays hidden forever, and if he inquired recklessly, he would surely reveal some clues and be torn to pieces by the city lord.
Therefore, he simply hid and waited for an opportunity.
This white jade token must be some kind of token, but while the city lord of Yongguan City is looking for it, the mysterious leader of Fuhu Mountain also seems to be searching for something similar.
Lin Feng played with the warm, smooth jade tablet, a thoughtful look in his eyes. "This jade tablet is probably quite extraordinary, as it has attracted the attention of both of these forces."
However, despite his curiosity, Lin Feng remained quite calm.
He has the space and the Black Lotus as his greatest reliance and cheat, allowing him to travel between two worlds, absorb feedback, and rapidly improve.
This jade pendant may be valuable, but compared to the fundamental aspects of one's own growth, its appeal is greatly diminished.
"Keep it for now; it might come in handy later."
After a whole night of work, under intense mental strain, and having gone through the mental exhaustion of absorbing memories and breaking through to new heights, a wave of intense fatigue finally washed over me.
Lin Feng stopped thinking about it and carefully put away the jade pendant, gold notes, and cultivation manual. He then lay down on the Simmons mattress in the space, comfortably fell asleep, and his consciousness quickly sank into dreamland.
The next day, the morning sunlight dispersed the morning dew.
However, it also ignited a storm of public opinion in the streets and alleys of Yongguan County.
The news of the Huang Family Martial Arts School being massacred, the master Huang Xiong Huan dying violently, and the young master Huang Shou Ye being seriously injured and crippled spread like wildfire in the morning market, teahouses, restaurants, and neighborhoods, becoming the most talked-about topic.
The vast Yongguan County instantly became lively.
Upon hearing this, some people clapped their hands in delight, secretly exclaiming that Heaven had opened its eyes.
The Huang family father and son were usually domineering and tyrannical, engaging in loan sharking, gambling, and forced buying and selling, thus creating countless grudges.
Many people see his current predicament as pure retribution.
During casual conversations, some people even whispered mysteriously, "Have you heard? The vengeful spirits of the Zhang family of five have returned to claim their lives! Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?"
Huang Shouye had only forced the entire Zhang family to their deaths a few days ago, and now the Huang family has suffered such a terrible disaster—the gambling den has been burned down too. This hatred runs deep!
Of course, there were also people whose interests were deeply intertwined with the Huang family, who were filled with gloom and anxiety, fearing that the fire would soon spread to them.
Various speculations, rumors, and interpretations have emerged one after another, but in any case, the Huang Family Martial Arts School, which was once prominent and influential in Yongguan County, has completely become a thing of the past.
This "mountain" that collapsed overnight has left behind only a mess and fodder for gossip.
After resting well in the space, Lin Feng emerged refreshed and full of energy. He quickly washed up, changed into clean clothes, and went out to the charity hall as usual.
The raging waves of last night seemed to have nothing to do with him, an ordinary handyman at the charity hall.
However, as soon as he stepped through the somewhat dilapidated doors of the charity hall, a figure blocked his way, speaking with obvious hostility:
"Stop right there! I've been waiting for you forever!"
