Longevity Martial Arts: Obtain Golden Affixes at the Start

After Tang Chen had walked away, Chen Nuo bent down and approached him, saying, "Junior Brother Hong, you'd better be careful of this guy!"

He gestured with his mouth towards Tanya.

"What's wrong with her?" Hong Lang asked, seeing his appearance.

Chen Nuo lowered his voice to a whisper: "Some disciples were gossiping behind her back, saying she was a bastard born of a mother but raised without a father. As a result, she ripped their tongues out by the roots. The scene was... tsk tsk, it was a gruesome sight!"

Hong Lang clicked his tongue. This guy has a really sharp tongue, talking about a little girl like that behind her back.

Tanya seemed to hear Chen Nuo talking about her, and glanced in this direction.

Chen Nuo froze in fright and quickly covered her mouth, fearing that she might lose her tongue.

……

At dusk, Hong Lang left the martial arts school.

Today, he successfully entered the Blood Refining Realm, and he was overjoyed. He specially bought a roast chicken, two catties of braised beef, four catties of braised pork, and two pots of Pear Blossom Spring wine at the market, intending to celebrate properly.

"Sister Qin, Tao'er, I am now a martial artist at the Blood Refining Realm!"

Li Tao'er was so excited when she learned of his breakthrough that she jumped up.

"Great! We can finally leave the village!"

Qin Jiuzhen's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed a little. With a martial artist in the house, the Jiang family wouldn't dare to bother her anymore, and she no longer had to live in fear.

The table was laden with meat dishes, and Qin Jiuzhen cooked four more dishes, filling the air with their aroma.

"Mmm, this is delicious!"

Li Tao'er hadn't enjoyed herself so much in a long time. She ate with gusto, her mouth greasy, and kept praising how delicious it was.

In high spirits, she drank two more cups of Pear Blossom Spring wine, but unfortunately, she had a low alcohol tolerance and soon her cheeks became hot, and she drifted off to sleep.

Only Qin Jiuzhen and Hong Lang remained at the table.

Hong Lang got so into the drinking that he took off his shirt and started eating the roast chicken skeleton with great gusto.

Boom!

Thunder rumbled outside.

The room was very quiet, except for the sound of Hong Lang gnawing on the roast chicken.

Qin Jiuzhen picked up a piece of beef and slowly put it in her mouth, but found it tasteless and had no flavor at all.

Crack!

The sound of rain could be heard outside.

Qin Jiuzhen looked at Hong Lang, let out a soft groan, and then slumped into her chair.

"Sister Qin, are you alright?"

Qin Jiuzhen waved her hand weakly: "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired."

Hong Lang, unsuspecting, continued eating, and soon the entire table of food and wine was devoured.

After a hearty meal, Hong Lang hurriedly returned to his room.

He had been thinking about the exchange system that he had unlocked during the day, and now that he finally had some free time, he wanted to explore it thoroughly.

Name: Hong Lang

[Cultivation Level: Beginner Blood Refining Realm]

[Entry: Dragon Spirit and Tiger Fierce (Gold)]

[Next draw progress: 100%]

[Martial arts points: 10]

Next to the [Martial Arts Points] section, there is a button with two small words written on it: Exchange.

Hong Lang pressed the button, and a new panel popped up.

A vast list of items was suddenly unfurled, with countless entries laid out from top to bottom, stretching as far as the eye could see.

[Peerless Martial Arts]

"Nine Swords of Creation", exchange price: one million martial arts points.

The "Infernal Purgatory Scripture" can be exchanged for one million Martial Arts Points.

"Burning Heaven Divine Palm" exchange price: one million martial arts points

……

"Invincible Vajra Technique", exchange price: 750,000 Martial Arts Points

……

Although Hong Lang had never heard of these techniques before, he knew from their names that they were no ordinary ones!

He swallowed hard, turned to the last page, found the Hunyuan Stance Technique, and the exchange price was two martial arts points.

"This gap... is just too big." Hong Lang sighed softly, then scrolled down.

……

[Rare and precious materials]

Reversal of Fate Wood, exchange price: 500,000 Martial Arts Points

Silent Dao Jade, exchange price: 500,000 Martial Arts Points

……

A pile of items whose names alone suggested they were no ordinary goods made Hong Lang's heart pound.

He kept flipping through the panel, and it took him a full fifteen minutes to reach the bottom.

"This is simply a treasure trove... I just wonder how I can acquire more martial arts points in the future."

Hong Lang stared at the panel for another hour or two before reluctantly closing it. The dazzling array of divine skills and miraculous elixirs made him drool.

Unfortunately, he only had 10 martial arts points, which he could not exchange for anything other than basic martial arts.

"Ugh!"

Hong Lang's current feelings are like those of a eunuch looking at a stunningly beautiful woman who has just undressed—restless yet helpless.

After closing the panel, Hong Lang was wide awake. He took out the old paper he had found at Niu's house and decided to study it carefully to see if he could glean any secrets from it.

There were no words on the paper, only a simple palm print. He had looked at it many times before, but he was completely confused about both the moves and the meaning. He couldn't understand the mystery at all.

As Hong Lang stared intently at the palm print, a Sanskrit chant suddenly rang in his mind: "Vairocana, with boundless wisdom, a single palm strikes across the sky, illuminating the Dharma realm."

"Who?" Hong Lang was startled and subconsciously looked around, but there was no one in the room.

Before he could react, an old figure suddenly appeared before him, forming a hand seal and striking him down with a palm.

Hong Lang felt an irresistible pressure coming towards him, and before he could even raise his hand to block, the palm wind had already landed on him.

His entire body was instantly enveloped in a dazzling, soft golden light. Through the haze, Hong Lang could vaguely make out that it was a dignified-looking monk, and whispered:

"The cause is Bodhicitta, the root is compassion, and the ultimate is skillful means... The mind is without hindrance; because there is no hindrance, there is no fear, and one is far removed from distorted dreams."

As the monk finished speaking, a solemn voice echoed in Hong Lang's mind:

[Having received the true essence of the Great Sun Tathagata Palm technique, and comprehended the first form of the Great Sun Tathagata Palm: Immeasurable Light.]

In an instant, countless profound methods of energy manipulation, movement trajectories, and insights into artistic conception flooded into his mind. That palm technique seemed to be innate, engraved in his soul.

To his surprise, the handprint on the old paper in his hand began to fade slowly, and in a short while, it completely disappeared, leaving only a blank piece of paper.

Hong Lang's eyes widened, his heart pounding wildly. The incredible scene before him was completely beyond his comprehension of the world.

He suppressed his excitement, opened the exchange panel again, and quickly flipped through the pages, searching for information about the Great Sun Tathagata Palm.

Soon, a line of information caught my eye:

【Great Sun Tathagata Palm, Exchange Price: 150,000 Martial Arts Points】

[I have mastered the true meaning of the palm technique and its first move. The remaining amount can be exchanged for 80,000 martial arts points.]

Holy crap!

Hong Lang exclaimed in surprise, "It's actually a palm technique worth 150,000 martial arts points!"

Based on his "well-informed" memories, he knew all too well that as long as there was a true inheritance, it meant he could gradually comprehend this palm technique.

By relying on one's own comprehension and studying day and night, one can gradually master the entire palm technique in time.

It's a pity that he's not quick enough to grasp all the moves at once; otherwise, he could have mastered them all in one go. Now he has to practice diligently little by little.

That's 150,000 martial arts points! Hong Lang suddenly stood up, unable to contain his elation.

"If one can master this palm technique, one would likely be virtually invincible in the entire Qingxi Town, no... the entire Hengjiang County!"

But he shouldn't be too happy yet. He has only grasped the basics of the first move, and he still needs more practice before he can truly master it and unleash its full power.

Hong Lang steadied himself, and following the method of channeling energy circulating in his mind, he focused his mind and gathered his strength, slowly unleashing a palm strike.

As soon as the palm strike landed, he felt all his strength drained away instantly. He could barely maintain his stance, and his entire arm was sore, numb, and almost impossible to lift.

Moreover, the moves are merely in form, lacking the essence, and thus cannot unleash their full power.

Hong Lang was not discouraged.

It's a martial art worth 150,000 martial arts points, so if it could be mastered easily, it would seem ordinary.

"Let's see what level of affix we can get this time."

He paused for a moment and then opened the term extraction panel.

[The Martial Arts of Immortality]

[You can select one term now. Do you want to select it?]

"Start drawing!"

A wisp of green light slowly emerged.

[Acquired entry: Exceptional Hearing (Green)]

[Exceptional Hearing (Green): Hearing far surpasses that of ordinary people; able to distinguish sounds amidst noise.]

"My luck wasn't so good this time, only green tags..."

The moment the entry appeared, Hong Lang felt two chills seep into his ears, and all the sounds around him were instantly amplified.

The sound of raindrops on the eaves and the barking of the hunter's dog were right next to my ears.

He could even hear Qin Jiuzhen getting up and getting dressed next door.

What delighted him even more was that he could now not only hear further, but also distinguish between different sounds.

He listened carefully to the sound of rain outside and could clearly distinguish the differences in how the rain fell on different objects.

Hong Lang thought to himself, with this entry, ordinary hidden weapons would hardly be able to hurt him, unless the speed of the hidden weapon exceeded the speed of sound, but such a master should not appear in a small county like Hengjiang County.

……

"Ah Fu, have you found out where Widow Qin's tax money came from?"

"Sir, we've investigated. It's a woodcutter from Taiping Village who has been helping Widow Qin!"

Jiang Guanlan slammed his teacup down on the table:

"Damn it, this peasant dares to steal my woman! Send Yang Feng with his men and take him down!"

Ah Fu hesitated for a moment: "Master... I'm afraid you can't take action. This kid recently joined the Cangfeng Martial Arts School."

Upon hearing the words "Hidden Edge Martial Arts School," Jiang Guanlan's expression changed slightly. He had also heard of Leng Ji Qingyi's reputation, and if things escalated, it might be difficult to handle.

"Damn it, the fat meat that was almost in our mouths was snatched away by someone else!" Jiang Guanlan got up and paced back and forth in the hall.

Seeing this, Afu quickly stepped forward and flattered, "Master, don't worry, things may still be turning around. In the past few years, at least a hundred disciples have joined the Cangfeng Martial Arts School, but very few have truly made a name for themselves."

"Once he can't endure the hardship and gives up, leaving the martial arts school, won't Madam Qin still be yours, sir?"

Jiang Guanlan chuckled, "You're right. Good things come to those who wait. Let's wait a few more months for Madam Qin!"
