Start your cultivation journey by allocating points to your Destiny.

Lu Chen looked at the "Health Preservation and Guiding Techniques" in his hand.

This thing is pretty simple, and the movements aren't complicated.

I don't know why Hao Cheng was so interested in this booklet; he even wore it out until the edges were frayed.

Could there be some hidden martial arts technique concealed in the book's cover?

He recalled a plot he had seen before and unconsciously squeezed the book cover.

It's very thin.

I carefully tore a small piece from the middle; it was just ordinary paper, with no possibility of hiding anything.

Or is there some kind of hidden text that only appears after being heated with fire or wetted with water?

He tried it, but no miracle occurred.

"Why is that? Why are you so interested in such an ordinary cultivation technique? Is it simply because it's a health-preserving technique, and you want to live a few more years?"

Lu Chen didn't understand, so he looked at the contents again.

"Breathing exercises, a few sets of movements... Is the focus not on the movements, but on the breathing exercises themselves?"

Lu Chen keenly noticed that in this chapter on breathing guidance techniques, the paper had more frayed edges than the action section, and the pages also looked more worn.

He memorized the breathing technique and several sets of movements and began practicing.

Soon, new entries appeared on the panel.

[Breath Guidance Techniques (Beginner)]

[Effects: By combining breathing techniques with guided movements, one can unblock meridians, regulate internal organs, improve flexibility and strength, strengthen the body and mind, and cultivate physical and mental well-being.]

Lu Chen practiced several times without even breaking a sweat, and didn't notice anything unusual.

I practiced breathing exercises separately for a while, and it was the same.

"Is there something I don't know about? There aren't any notes on it at all, I can't tell!"

Lu Chen shook his head.

"Fine, let's add some!"

【Breathing Guidance Techniques (Copper Sheet)】

Life value -100.

After adding points, Lu Chen, still not giving up, practiced it again, but still couldn't find anything unusual.

"Is it really just for health reasons?"

He didn't quite believe the conclusion, but he had no more information.

"Forget it, let's not dwell on it for now!"

Lu Chen's crazy stat boosting left him with 2998 points of Fate and 20 points of Luck.

"It's not enough!"

He shook his head, then thought of the Flying Eagle Caravan in the county town.

"Hu Bufan said he would gather people in three days, and it's already the third day. Let's go find him again this afternoon."

He arrived at the playground.

At this time, there were even more people practicing martial arts. Lu Chen even saw several teenage girls and middle-aged women mixed in with them.

Upon Lu Chen's arrival, he instructed everyone to take their designated positions, and then began practicing his martial arts techniques.

With his guidance, the "Passing on Knowledge and Instructing Skills" skill was activated, and everyone's training progressed much faster.

After correcting some people's actions, Lu Chen went to check on the construction of the wall.

At this time, Lu Xiande had already gathered many villagers, purchased a lot of materials, and cut down a lot of trees from the mountain.

It's a huge project.

Because of the child's disappearance a few days ago, coupled with the Flying Eagle Horse Caravan coming to collect money, everyone in the village has become much more enthusiastic about practicing martial arts and building the wall.

Under Lu Chen's guidance, the village has now embarked on a different path.

"It's a pity it doesn't give me luck and life points!"

As he was reminiscing, he suddenly heard Lu Tang and Lu Ming cheering in the distance.

"Brother, brother! I've mastered it!"

Lu Tang happily jumped into Lu Chen's arms, her big eyes sparkling as she looked at him, her smile wide and undisguised, her mouth practically stretching to the back of her head.

"You've mastered the basics?" Lu Chen asked, somewhat surprised.

That's fast!

Lu Ming had only just started learning the basics a few days ago, but he didn't expect his little sister to have mastered them so quickly!

"Not bad, that's just like my style! Keep it up, don't slack off! I'm going to the county town later, I'll bring you some good stuff back to celebrate tomorrow!"

Lu Chen patted Lu Tang's head, and Lu Tang asked excitedly, "Brother, what is it?"

"We can't tell you, or there won't be any surprise!"

Lu Chen laughed and waved to the two of them, "Alright, you two go back first, don't wander off, I have to go!"

……

When Lu Chen arrived in the county town, it was already afternoon.

After changing his appearance, he changed his clothes again, covered his face, put on a straw hat, and went to the Yunlai Inn in the east of the city.

"Oh, sir, you've arrived! The owner instructed us to inform you upon your arrival and to go directly to this place; he's waiting for you here!"

Upon seeing Lu Chen, the shopkeeper immediately came forward, respectfully cupped his hands, and took out a slip of paper from his pocket, handing it to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen glanced at it; the address was written on it.

He nodded. "Thanks!"

He turned and left.

Arriving at the address written on the paper, we found ourselves in a rather quiet teahouse with elegant decor.

It's obviously not for ordinary people.

As soon as he entered, he whispered something to the greeter and was then led to a private room.

"Sir, this is the place!"

The girl in the light green ruqun led Lu Chen to the door of the private room, performed a curtsy, and then left.

Before Lu Chen could knock, the door was opened, revealing Hu Bufan's face.

"You're here, come in!"

After pulling Lu Chen inside, he looked around and, finding no one there, immediately closed the door.

"This is my friend, you can just call him Li Zhuo. This is my..."

Hu Bufan paused for a moment.

"Partner!" Lu Chen continued.

"This is my business partner, Qin Yi."

"Brother Li Zhuo, I've heard so much about you!" Lu Chen bowed to Li Zhuo.

Li Zhuo was a tall, burly man who looked like a young man, with particularly long arms and large hands.

Lu Chen glanced at his ears.

very common.

It seems not everyone is a royal uncle.

"I've heard so much about you!" Li Zhuo nodded to Lu Chen, his expression indifferent.

"Alright, now that you know each other, let me briefly explain."

After Hu Bufan sat down, he poured Lu Chen a cup of tea, cleared his throat, and then spoke.

"Qin Yi, when do you think is the right time to make a move? The Flying Eagle Gang hasn't sent anyone out these past two days; they're all present. They're all quite strong, with three at the Marrow Cleansing stage, five at the Blood Transformation stage, and three at the Dirty Refining stage. Add to that the three other gangs with their three Dirty Refining stages, and their strength shouldn't be underestimated!"

"They outnumber us, and they also have members from the Big Whale Gang, the Canal Gang, and the Green Bamboo Gang. Do you think the three of us can handle them?"

He was somewhat worried.

Qin Yi shook his head.

"Not three, it's one! Since I've made a deal with you, I naturally won't bother anyone else. I just need you to surround the person and prevent them from escaping! I'll handle the killing myself; it'll be more than worth it!"

Hu Bufan and Li Zhuo were both stunned for a moment.

So arrogant?

"Qin Yi, why don't you reconsider? There are a lot of them!"

"No!"

Lu Chen was very determined.

How can we let someone else steal our kills!

With these extra points, he can practically do whatever he wants in Shahu County!

"this……"

Hu Bufan didn't know what to say.

He secretly decided that no matter what Qin Yi said, he would definitely take action if necessary.

The Flying Eagle Horse Gang is a cancer; they must be eradicated!

"So when are you planning to make your move? I heard they're sending a group of men out tomorrow, probably to the old Green Bamboo Gang's iron mine! That should be the best time to strike!"

Lu Chen was getting anxious.

Are we going to have fewer people tomorrow?

That won't do!

"Tonight! Is it just the two of you? Are there any others? If so, call them all. I'm afraid someone might run away. We must eliminate them completely, leaving no one behind!"

His tone was icy.

These are all part of my destiny!

It would be best if the Flying Eagle Caravan could provide the luck value!

"Tonight?!" Hu Bufan was dumbfounded, completely unable to understand Lu Chen's approach.

Does this person like challenging themselves with difficult tasks?

Or did I mishear you?

"Don't worry, I only have one life, I definitely wouldn't joke around with it! Oh, by the way, about what I told you before, about helping you deal with the Black Killing Pavilion, I haven't finished it yet. Black Soul and White Claw weren't in Yuncheng County, it seems they've come back. Once I've dealt with the Flying Eagle Caravan, I'll definitely help you take care of them!"

Lu Chen suddenly remembered the Black and White Duo and spoke up.

Hu Bufan's face was expressionless.

The fact that you still have the energy to think about other people shows you're really confident... right?

He was a little uneasy and couldn't help but look at Li Zhuo.

Li Zhuo understood and nodded slightly.

Don't worry, I'll step in when it matters!
