Chapter 78 Plunder [Part Two] (4k)

Hailu City is a city under the jurisdiction of Yantai Port City.

The two are more than 80 kilometers apart.

Among them was a clan called the Qiu family, which was one of the many inferior clans that were dependent on the Hu family.

The clan has nearly a hundred members, and it is the New Year season.

Red lanterns swayed in the wind under the eaves, their colors becoming even more vivid against the backdrop of snowflakes.

At this moment, the ancestral hall of the clan is very lively.

A group of people organized a procession, beating gongs and drums.

This is to invite the lanterns.

The specific steps are divided into turning on the lights, adding lights, and removing lights.

This is a grand ceremony held to celebrate the addition of a new male member to the family, a ceremony to comfort the ancestors and pray for the prosperity of the family.

During this process, the procession needs to parade through the streets, set off firecrackers, and solemnly welcome the lanterns back to the clan's ancestral hall for hanging.

This ritual is not completed in a single day.

Depending on the different parts, this will continue for more than half a month.

As time goes by.

As dusk fell.

Qiu Li, the clan leader, returned to his residence.

He's in a good mood today.

According to statistics.

Over the course of the year, the Qiu clan's population has increased significantly compared to previous years, with two promising offspring emerging.

I don't know why.

Perhaps it is due to the changing times, the increasing number of food additives, and the inherent limitations of the secret martial arts passed down by the Qiu family.

Those in the clan who possess the aptitude for cultivation and have the potential to become secret martial artists.

The number of cases decreased almost precipitously.

This also means that the Qiu family often only produces one or two members with "bone qualities" every two or three years.

The importance of such talent to a lower-class clan is self-evident.

Although the Qiu family was only a lower-class clan, the treatment and resources they enjoyed were far beyond what ordinary people could imagine.

The fundamental reason why the family can maintain such a status is not anything else, but the fact that there are still secret martial artists within the family.

Historically, there are precedents of clans being removed from the clan's place of origin due to the interruption of their lineage or their complete decline.

Such a situation would be nothing short of a devastating blow to a family.

Fortunately, it seems that the Qiu family has nothing to worry about at present.

Even more exciting is that, in this qualification test, a member of the Qiu family also appeared who possessed a Class B bone qualification.

If they can continue to grow smoothly, there is a possibility that a martial artist at the Skin Polishing Realm will emerge in the future.

Thinking this, he hummed a little tune.

He lifted his leg and walked towards one of the villas.

As soon as he pushed open the door and entered, a figure rushed into his arms.

"You still remember to come see me? I thought you'd forgotten about me."

The woman raised her head, revealing bright eyes and white teeth. She appeared to be about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, a young and beautiful age.

She was wearing a thin, semi-transparent gray nightgown, but thankfully the room was well-heated, so she didn't feel cold.

Feeling the softness of her body and the unique fragrance of a young woman, Qiu Li smiled and said, "There's nothing I can do. The ancestral worship is a rule passed down from our ancestors. You're not yet considered a member of the Qiu family, so naturally you can't go."

"But getting in isn't difficult, as long as you give me a son or daughter."

"Ugh, you can't rush these things."

The woman clenched her fist and lightly punched his chest, her tone reproachful.

That's why we need to hurry.

As Qiu Li spoke, he picked her up and turned to walk towards the bedroom.

He is already seventy years old, and theoretically he should no longer have that ability.

However, as a martial artist at the Body Forging level...

Its physical capabilities are far superior to those of ordinary people.

The woman struggled slightly before reaching out and wrapping her arms around his neck.

She doesn't have any fetish for older people.

However, everyone has their own ambitions.

Although Qiu Li is older, she is rich and powerful.

She didn't want to just find any man and live a hard life; she wanted to take a shortcut, and that was her choice.

There is no right or wrong.

Qiu Li naturally understood this as well.

But he didn't care at all.

To put it bluntly, it's nothing more than mutual benefit.

If the other party can serve him well and give him a son or daughter, what does it matter if he gives the other party some money?

Snapped!

The moment I entered the bedroom.

Qiu Li's legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground.

The woman he was holding also fell to the ground, and the intense pain made her open her mouth to scream.

But the next moment, everything went black before her eyes, and she lost consciousness without even making a sound.

Before she lost consciousness, she vaguely saw a figure that had appeared in the room at some point.

"Friends, let's talk this out."

Qiu Li collapsed to the ground, her whole body numb and almost unconscious. She could only stare in terror at the man who had suddenly appeared before her.

The man had a sallow complexion and a sinister look in his eyes; he was clearly not a kind person.

The man glanced at the unconscious woman on the ground and let out a hoarse, strange laugh: "You're still going strong for your age."

Qiu Li's face was deathly pale.

The person before him was clearly far stronger than him.

He had seen many martial artists at the Skin Polishing Realm, but none of them could bring such a terrifying sense of oppression.

"Is there some misunderstanding between us?"

Qiu Li asked, trying to remain calm.

He did not try to call for help or shout.

He knew very well that doing so would only hasten his death.

"Show me your family's ancestral divine will, and I might spare your life."

The middle-aged man spoke calmly, yet with an undeniable air of authority.

"God's intention?"

Qiu Li was taken aback.

He initially thought that perhaps some foolish junior in the family had offended the other party, and that the other party had come seeking revenge.

After all, similar incidents have happened before. In history, some lower-class clans have been destroyed because their members were foolish enough to provoke people they shouldn't have.

But I never expected that the other party came here for this reason.

Given their strength, why would they be interested in the Qiu family's divine intentions?

However, the thought only flashed through my mind.

The will of God concerns the continuation of the family line; how can it be easily handed over?

"————Okay, I'll take you there right away."

Qiu Li nodded in agreement without hesitation.

The situation is better than people.

If he dares to refuse, not only him, but the entire Qiu family will likely face annihilation.

What's the use of keeping the divine will if the family is gone?

Therefore, he was not someone who was afraid of death; he was simply thinking of his people and knew how to prioritize.

A moment later, Qiu Li took out the family heirloom, the Divine Instruction Manual.

The other party took it, unfolded it, glanced at it, and then casually tossed it back.

"If you dare to reveal even a fraction of what happened today, you should know the consequences—"

The sallow-faced man said coldly.

Before he could finish speaking, he had already leaped out of the window.

With a few leaps and bounds, the figure disappeared into the distant night.

Qiu Li stood there, staring at the empty window, then looked down at the divine divination in her hand, momentarily stunned.

Just like that, he left?

Could there be some secret hidden in this family's divine will that even they themselves are unaware of?

He examined it repeatedly, scrutinizing it from all angles, but still couldn't find anything unusual.

In the end, he could only silently put the picture away, his heart filled with confusion and bewilderment.

However, it's always a good thing that the divine intention hasn't been lost.

The Qiu family's case is not an isolated incident.

As time went on, within a few days, several more lower-ranking clans were attacked.

However, the attackers all looked different, including young people, women, and old men.

These people were all Hu Long in disguise.

With his masterful makeup skills, he could disguise himself as anything, his purpose being to obtain the source value hidden in those divine intentions.

The entire process went quite smoothly for Hu Long.

Faced with Hu Long, whose strength far surpassed their own, most of the lower-ranking clans chose to compromise.

Afterwards, these clans generally did not spread the news.

-

After all, even if someone told me, probably no one would believe me.

A martial artist whose strength is suspected to have reached the Bone Tempering Realm actually lowered himself to come and snatch the divine will of a low-level clan whose highest level is only Body Forging and Skin Polishing Realm, and returned it after only taking a look.

This person has probably gone mad.

Of course, there are other important reasons why they chose to keep it a secret.

Firstly, the clan itself suffered no substantial loss; the god's intention was merely to borrow it for a brief look.

Secondly, if they report it, they will have to bear the risk of retaliation. If that person attacks them first before being caught, no one in the clan can stop them.

After weighing the pros and cons, most clans could only pretend that nothing had happened.

Another point is that Hu Long did not only select the lower-ranking clans affiliated with the Hu family, but also the lower-ranking clans throughout the entire Southern Province. The targets were also randomly selected, and he did not choose only one place, which greatly reduced the possibility of being blocked.

however.

Even so, if you walk by the river often enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet.

People have different opinions.

There are always some tough nuts to crack when faced with threats.

They just wouldn't back down.

That night.

Inside a three-story villa.

--boom!

Without warning, a blazing fire shot into the sky.

The violent shockwave blasted the entire villa into pieces, sending billowing black smoke into the air.

A dark shadow, carrying broken bricks and wood chips, crashed down from the sky and slammed into the roadside bushes. The figure was dressed in rags, and wisps of white smoke still rose from its body, as if it had been roasted.

The next second, the figure suddenly flipped up and sped away without stopping, disappearing into the depths of the night in an instant.

"You're insane! You've probably ruined your brain from practicing martial arts!"

After several moves and changes in appearance, it was located far from the Qi family area.

Hu Long returned to the hotel he had rented in advance.

He was heading to a low-ranking clan called the Qi family, and everything went smoothly at first.

But just as he returned the divine will and was about to leave, the old man suddenly went mad and detonated a bomb, blowing the entire villa into the sky.

He didn't seem to have done anything to provoke the other party.

No, the point is, would a normal person bury so many bombs in their own home?

Fortunately, Hu Long had already reached the Jade Skin Realm and reacted quickly, so he was not seriously injured. He only suffered some shock damage, which was not a big deal.

However, due to this incident, his plan to harvest source value had to be temporarily suspended.

The death of a chieftain of a lower-ranking clan is no small matter.

Once the news spreads, it will inevitably attract the attention of medium-sized clans.

"But that's about enough."

Hu Long entered the bathroom and turned on the shower.

Let the warm water wash over your body, washing away the black ash.

With a sudden thought, he summoned the panel and his gaze fell on the Source Value column.

[Source Value: 286.36 strands]

During this period, he plundered ten lower-level clans. With his strength comparable to the Bone Tempering Realm, he did not encounter much hindrance in the process.

Although the divine intents of these lower clans can only provide a limited amount of source value at a time due to issues with materials or their inherent defects.

It cannot compare to the Hu family's Spirit Ape Secret Martial Arts.

However, quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, and small changes accumulate into large ones.

It is also an extremely considerable number.

He looked at the vegetarian noodle board.

My gaze fell directly on the internet speed section.

[Internet speed: 8M/S△]

"Too slow, upgrade my internet speed!"

The current internet speed is still too slow for him.

Now that we have plenty of source value, it's natural to want to upgrade it.

Hu Long had a sudden thought.

The source value column instantly decreased by twenty strands.

[Internet speed: 48M/S△]

The internet speed has increased sixfold compared to before.

The upgradeable triangle rune behind it still exists.

Seeing this scene.

Hu Long paused briefly before choosing to raise his bid again.

The handwriting became blurred again, this time the source value decreased by fifty strands.

[Internet speed: 128M/S△]

[Source Value: 216.36 strands]

"Isn't it supposed to be increased by doubling?"

Seeing this, Hu Long's eyes flickered slightly.

He suspected that Taisuban might have embezzled his source value.

But upon closer reflection, it makes sense.

If the improvement is this dramatic, why would I still be motivated to collect source value?

Based on the protagonists in those plot-driven novels I've read, the existence of a panel system must have many limitations, but its fundamental purpose is to help the protagonist become stronger.

This vegetarian noodle board should also have this mechanism.

"No, I'm starting to sound more and more like a madman. My thoughts have wandered off to this extent."

Suppress these chaotic thoughts.

Hu Long understood that this was another invisible influence of the "Monkey King's Mind" on him, causing his thoughts to wander.

Whatever the essence of the vegetarian noodle dish is, it doesn't matter to Hu Long.

He didn't want to delve into these matters, because he understood that such behavior was just a pointless internal struggle and had no meaning for him.

After doing all this.

His gaze fell on the talent section.

Efficient absorption and metabolism can be improved.

As for the innate divine power that had been enhanced once, no triangular runes indicating further enhancement appeared after the writing.

I don't know if it's because of insufficient source value or because my talent has reached its limit.

However, even if it can be improved.

Hu Long wouldn't do that either.

He is now influenced by the "monkey mind".

Continuing to increase power in a short period of time will only exacerbate the interference of the "Mind Monkey" on oneself, and this Spirit Monkey Secret Martial Art also has other limitations.

However, this efficient absorption and metabolism can be improved.

"Too vegetarian, it enhances my body's natural ability to absorb and metabolize nutrients efficiently!"

The moment the thought crossed my mind, the source value column on the panel suddenly decreased by thirty strands.

At the same time, Hu Long clearly felt a tingling, itchy sensation in his stomach, esophagus, and mouth, as if there were tiny electric currents coursing through them.

Immediately afterwards, he exerted a slight force with his jaw, and a series of subtle "clicking" sounds came from the roots of his teeth.

Before I could even react, one old tooth after another fell out and landed in my palm, still bearing faint traces of blood from when the gums separated.

He opened his mouth and looked into the mirror.

The gums were bare, but in the next second they quickly bulged, and several bright white tooth tips emerged from the flesh, like tender buds breaking through the soil in early spring.

The new teeth grow at a visible rate, becoming stronger and more even than before, with a warm white glaze.

The canines became a bit sharper.

When all the new teeth have fully grown in.

The tingling and itching in Hu Long's stomach and esophagus also quietly subsided.

On the Taisu noodle board, the words "Highly efficient absorption and metabolism" are slowly fading away, only to be covered by new writing.

[Physical Talent: Gluttony]

(Note: Your eating and digestive system has undergone a complete transformation.)

The range of mouth opening and closing is far greater than that of ordinary people, and the biting force is greatly enhanced.

The esophagus has a strong ability to expand and peristalsis, which can smoothly transport various substances.

The stomach can not only rapidly break down and absorb nutrients, but also secrete highly corrosive digestive juices capable of melting gold and iron, transforming swallowed metals and ores into pure energy that tempers the body.

[Source Value: 186.36 strands]
