The Great Martial Arts World: Hot Topics and Great Heroes

It's not just his problem, okay? Although Chu Luren considers himself to be quite handsome in the martial arts world, surely he shouldn't have made Xiaolongnu fall for him so quickly? Has she never seen a man before?

"When Long'er and her other junior sister went mad while practicing the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, did you straighten their meridians and calm their minds?" Wang Chongyang asked, staring at Chu Luren.

"That's true, the situation was unusual at the time, but it wasn't that bad..."

Before Chu Luren could finish speaking, Wang Chongyang added, "Your sister-in-law told me that Long'er's 'Jade Maiden Heart Sutra' is excellent in its mastery of yin advance and yang retreat. This is a manifestation of self-restraint that occurs when someone already has a crush but has not received a response."

Chu Luren felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this, and then asked, "How does Sister-in-law know so much about this? Her understanding of her state of mind is even accurate to the point of precision?"

Wang Chongyang: ...

Now Wang Chongyang is also in an awkward position.

What else could it be? Because Wang Chongyang was "feigning death" back then...

"Alright, as for matters of the heart, your senior brother has no advice for you. You young people should handle it yourselves!" Wang Chongyang ended the topic.

Since Senior Brother Wang had already said so, Chu Luren naturally didn't believe that Senior Brother and Senior Sister-in-law would lie like that.

As for why?

Little Dragon Girl has never seen a man before...

Normally, even if she saw a man, Xiaolongnu would remain completely unmoved.

However, when he was being treated for going astray, on the one hand, there was the instinctive affinity at the level of mind, and on the other hand, there was Chu Luren's spirit of taking risks, which did indeed increase the affinity on an emotional level!

If it were only one thing, it wouldn't have had such a big impact. In addition, after that, Xiaolongnu continued to stay in the Ancient Tomb and didn't see any outsiders. Her longing grew stronger, and she started to build up her favorability buff on her own.

Chu Luren suddenly remembered Li Mochou's strange behavior—could it be that she also noticed her junior sister's unusual state, which was why...?

However, this is not the most urgent matter at the moment.

For now, we should use the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, a regular exercise, to help Xiaolongnu alleviate her pain, and then head to the Great Snow Mountain as soon as possible!

In two months, it will be the Heroes' Gathering in Xiangyang. As a hero of the world, Chu Luren naturally doesn't want to miss it. In fact, according to Cheng Lingsu, Xiaolongnu can only last another year or two at most, and his time is running out...

"Senior brother, are you going to the Heroes' Gathering later?" Chu Luren still needed to make some arrangements.

Wang Chongyang hesitated for a moment, then nodded seriously: "Of course I'll go!"

Although his martial arts skills could only recover to six or seven tenths by then, since his remaining strength had been shaken, Wang Chongyang had his own principles—it was national integrity, so how could he seek advantage and avoid harm?

Moreover, in case Zhao Wushi, that despicable villain, did something, Wang Chongyang had also prepared for the worst, which was to expose his identity and accuse the other party!

Furthermore, if one doesn't go because their martial arts skills haven't recovered...

Wang Chongyang always felt that the reason he and his wife came back this time was not only to "give gifts" to Zhao Wushi, but also to solve his junior brother's love problems. What was the point of this?

Chapter 875 I'll Help You Cultivate

"Are you sure you want to go to the Great Snow Mountain in the Western Regions? The Jade Maiden Heart Sutra is useless?" Li Mochou frowned upon hearing Chu Luren's decision.

Li Mochou didn't think the Heroes' Gathering was urgent; she could simply skip it. However, she was worried about not finding Han Chi, and even if she did, he wouldn't be easy to deal with.

If only the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra could resolve this directly...

Hearing Li Mochou say this, Chu Luren was slightly embarrassed: "It's useless." He didn't explain in detail. Actually, if dual cultivation were effective, it might be useful, but normal cultivation at present would definitely only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.

“I’ll go too,” Li Mochou said directly.

Perhaps worried that Chu Luren would refuse, Li Mochou added, "You said you would keep an eye on me until August 26th."

Unlike before, Li Mochou did not think this trip was very dangerous. There might be danger when facing the Cold Dragon directly, but she knew that the main difficulty was finding the Cold Dragon, and more people would be more helpful!

Besides, Cheng Lingsu should also go along. The little girl's martial arts skills are mediocre, but her medical and poison skills are superb, while Li Mochou has never considered herself weak.

"Yes, I was just about to tell you that you could take care of my little master for me." Chu Luren readily agreed.

"Take care of Ling Su? And what about you?" Li Mochou was taken aback upon hearing this.

"I'll take Sect Leader Long ahead of me. Let's meet at the Snow Mountain Sect on August 26th!" Chu Luren had already set his sights on the Snow Mountain Sect.

The Great Snow Mountain of the Western Regions does not refer to a single mountain, but rather a vast area.

It's further east than Bright Summit, further northwest than the Tibetan Great Snow Mountain, and further south than Lingjiu Palace. Searching for it slowly on your own is definitely not very efficient.

Chu Luren has already sent a message to Bright Peak and Lingjiu Palace through the Righteous Alliance, and the assistance of the real local power, the Snow Mountain Sect, is also indispensable!

I wonder if my dear fourth brother has arrived at the Snow Mountain Sect yet. They probably haven't been traveling very fast, and there's still no news of them.

If the Snow Mountain Sect has already given its approval, that would be perfect—with the Snow Mountain Sect's grandson-in-law present, the Snow Mountain Sect would be more willing to help, right?

"Take my junior sister with you? Or should the three of us set off together, and you go ahead?" Li Mochou knew that time was of the essence, and Chu Luren probably wanted her to go to the Snow Mountain Sect first.

“No, although the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra cannot cure the disease completely, practicing it can alleviate the symptoms, but it requires my cooperation.” Chu Luren said, his face turning red.

That's right. The reason for bringing Xiaolongnu along was to replenish her mana—by practicing for an hour every three days, he could suppress Xiaolongnu's suffering from the cold poison and prolong her life.

"You'll cooperate?" Li Mochou looked at Chu Luren strangely.

Li Mochou hadn't practiced the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, but she knew that there were certain requirements regarding attire when practicing it...

Li Mochou stared at Chu Luren with a strange look for a long time before finally speaking, "Well, then you should get ready quickly. We'll be leaving with Ling Su tomorrow."

Chu Luren then left shyly, turning back to look for Xiaolongnu...

After parting ways with Wang Chongyang, he first went to see Li Mochou—after all, he was still a little shy when he saw Xiaolongnu!

Arriving at the stone chamber where the sect leader was, Chu Luren adjusted his breathing and reassured himself: "My sister-in-law should have already spoken to Sect Leader Long. I don't need to say anything more; she'll understand. Besides, I can just enter meditation and enter the 'Dao Embryo' state..."

After mentally preparing himself, Chu Luren opened the stone door.

Then Chu Luren saw that the sect leader was sitting cross-legged on the ground with his back to him. Although his hair was long and reached his waist, his graceful figure could still be vaguely seen, as well as the fair skin that was faintly visible among his black hair—it was already the attire required for cultivating the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra!

The snow-white long dress and inner garment were neatly folded and placed to the side.

"Dragon... Sect Leader Dragon?" Chu Luren's breath hitched, and he couldn't help but call out.

"Hmm," Little Dragon Girl responded faintly, but said nothing more.

Upon seeing this, Chu Luren first closed the stone door. With the sound of the stone door mechanism, Chu Luren noticed that Xiaolongnu's delicate body trembled slightly.

I don't know if it's because of the pain, or something else.

However, he neither spoke nor moved.

Chu Luren vaguely realized that Xiaolongnu probably wanted him to make the first move, and was likely just as shy...

Of course, Chu Luren still felt that his method was better. After all, Xiaolongnu could not lose consciousness; at most, she could only pretend to be still. But as long as Chu Luren adjusted to the "Dao Embryo" state, he would have no surface consciousness!

"Sect Leader Long, I'm here to help you with your cultivation!" Chu Luren said righteously.

Little Dragon Girl: ? ? ?

"Ahem, what I mean is, I will use the 'Dao Embryo' to assist you in your practice, but I will be unable to move while in the Dao Embryo state, so Sect Leader Long will need to handle it himself."

After Chu Luren finished speaking, he didn't go around to the front. Instead, he sat down cross-legged behind Xiaolongnu and then... his eyes went blank and closed.

Because the Chu Lu people use the "Dao Tai Du E Jing" to complement Xiao Long Nu's "Yu Nu Xin Jing", they have no restrictions on clothing.

……

Three hours later, Chu Luren "just happened" to wake up—although he had no surface consciousness, his Dao Embryo knew perfectly well when the practice ended.

I even waited a little longer.

Sure enough, Xiaolongnu had already put her clothes back on. However, to Chu Luren's surprise, Xiaolongnu was not blushing or looking down. Instead, she was staring at him openly and with clear eyes.

Instead, Chu Luren blushed and lowered his head...

"Sect Leader Long..."

"You still call me Sect Leader Long?"

"Huh? Then... Auntie?" Chu Luren was also puzzled. Did the Little Dragon Girl have this kind of hobby now?

Little Dragon Girl: ? ? ?

Why did he suddenly imitate Xiaohong's voice?

Chu Luren then realized what he meant and corrected himself, saying, "I meant... Long'er."

Why did it take Xiaolongnu three hours when she only needed to practice for one hour?

Besides the fact that Chu Luren couldn't move and needed Xiaolongnu to adjust his pose, it was also because his inner turmoil was extremely intense, which made it take much longer.

"Yes, let's call her that for now." Little Dragon Girl's tone remained aloof, but her gaze held a different quality.

"Afterwards, I'll take you to the Great Snow Mountain. We'll also need to obtain the blood of the Frost Dragon to eradicate your cold poison." Chu Luren spoke to Xiaolongnu very casually, as if the blood of the Frost Dragon was right there, waiting for her to reach out and take it.

“Okay.” Little Dragon Girl did not question it, and unlike yesterday, she did not mention anything about not being able to leave the ancient tomb, but simply nodded in agreement.

"Then... I'll go get ready." Chu Luren said, standing up.

Little Dragon Girl didn't say anything, but she took the initiative to step forward and thoughtfully opened the stone door for him.

As soon as they came out, Chu Luren spotted Li Mochou at a corner of the passageway not far away.

"Isn't it only necessary to practice for one hour? What have you been doing for the other two hours?" Li Mochou looked at Chu Luren questioningly.

"It's inconvenient for the dragon to move on its own."

Chapter 876 News from the Snow Mountain Sect

Amidst the swirling snowflakes, the shadowy silhouette of a Kun (a mythical fish) appeared, moving with incredible speed across the snow without leaving a trace. Behind the rocks it passed, a small cat peeked out, looking around as if it hadn't found anything...

At this moment, Chu Luren carried the little dragon girl, dressed in white and unable to move easily, on his back, using the Kun fish running method.

Although he was traveling with one other person, he still managed to travel from Zhongnan Mountain to the Great Snow Mountain in the Western Regions in just a few days!

Theoretically, they are still within the so-called Western Regions Great Snow Mountain range, but the Chu Lu people did not stop and headed towards "Lingxiao City".

Searching on your own would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Even with Xiao Hong, who should have a sense of the Cold Dragon, helping out would still be more efficient than asking a local for help.

If a Cold Dragon truly awakens, even if the Snow Mountain Sect hadn't specifically searched for it before, they might have known where the anomaly was!

Just by hearing the name of the mountain gate, "Lingxiao City," you can tell that "expansion" is part of the Snow Mountain Sect's sect culture.

The so-called Western Regions Great Snow Mountain is just a section that extends from the Tibetan Great Snow Mountain. Geographically, it is more southeast of Bright Summit. However, in terms of transportation convenience, it is actually more difficult to get from the Central Plains to the Great Snow Mountain.

As the local strongmen of the Great Snow Mountain, the Chu Lu people naturally had to pay their respects first...

Along the way, Chu Luren also heard some news that Bai Wanjian and the Black and White Twin Swords should have just returned to the Great Snow Mountain not long ago, and they might not have arrived in Lingxiao City earlier than Chu Luren.
