The Langhuan Blessed Land contained all the martial arts in the world!
Even if he already had Shaolin Temple's supreme manuals, Tendon Changing Classic and Marrow Cleansing Classic, when he learned from Madam Wang that the secret address of Langhuan Blessed Ground was hidden in the portrait, he could not help but be excited. All the ultimate techniques in the world were in there.
Once upon a time, like countless ordinary people, he had fantasized that all the martial arts in the world could be chosen by him. He fantasized that he would have the Nine Yin Manual in his left hand, the Nine Yang Divine Skill in his right hand, the Northern Underworld Divine Skill to protect his body, the Wave-like Subtle Steps, and the Six Pulse Magic Sword in his hand, and the Buddha's Palm as soon as he raised his hand.
He broke free from his beautiful fantasy and suddenly noticed that Madam Wang's gaze on him was a little strange. She looked as if she had seen through his thoughts, and he could not help but blush.
"Ahem … Madam Wang, are you saying that what attracted Empress Yin here is the secret address of Langhuan Blessed Ground on the back of the portrait?"
"That's right!"
Madam Wang nodded solemnly.
"Ever since the evil cult failed in their plot to ambush the seven great system-allocated sects a year ago, they realized that the righteous sects in the world of martial artists had great influence, and they cannot be suppressed by the eight evil cult sects. Hence, they began searching everywhere for a way to suppress the sects in the world." When he said this, his tone became grave. "Langhuan Blessed Ground controls all the martial arts in the world. If the evil cult obtains it and breaks all the martial arts in the world, they will naturally be like a tiger with wings. At that time, it will be a disaster for all the people in the world!"
When he heard Madam Wang's groundless worry, a hint of unease suddenly rose in his heart.
"What do you mean, Mrs. Wang?"
"Ever since the portrait was lost, I couldn't sleep at night. I was afraid that a calamity would descend one day, and the cause would be Langhuan blessed land falling into the hands of the unorthodox path! "Over the years, I have always regretted not burning it in the past and leaving behind a disaster. But today, Young Swordsman Happy, you brought the portrait to Mantuo Villa. You even forced Empress Yin to retreat and preserved the portrait. I am eternally grateful to you, and at the same time, I have also been able to remove a great burden from my heart."
"Mrs. Wang, do you want to destroy it?"
Happy's expression changed.
Madam Wang stared at Happy with slight awkwardness and embarrassment. "I know how tempting Langhuan Blessed Ground is to a martial artist, and I also know that you definitely want to know the location of Langhuan Blessed Ground, but I must give you a reminder."
"Langhuan Blessed Ground is indeed a great fortuitous chance for normal martial artists, but there is usually an equal amount of danger hidden behind a fortuitous chance. This time, the evil cult has already learned about Langhuan Blessed Ground and the portrait, and it's impossible for them to give up on it so easily. Empress Yin leaving might just be an act to stall for time. She might very well use us to enter Langhuan Blessed Ground!"
"I naturally know this, but if I can't open a treasure trove that countless martial artists are envious of, and I have to destroy it with my own hands, I can't bear to do so."
"Young Swordsman Happy, I understand your feelings. To thank you for saving my life this time and for the loss of bringing back the portrait, I am willing to offer you a martial art manual."
"Martial arts secret manual? Like the Nine Sky Demon Styles? "
Happy sighed.
"In truth, madam, you know about Langhuan Blessed Ground's existence. If you were worried about it in the beginning, why didn't you just burn all the martial arts in Langhuan Blessed Ground? Why did you have to worry about it for such a long time?"
"Young Swordsman Happy, you don't believe me."
Madam Wang's voice froze for a moment before she smiled wanly.
"Ever since the portrait was lost, I know that even if the person with the portrait noticed that there was something off about it, without my help, they will need to spend a long time to find Langhuan Blessed Ground. That's why I didn't dare to head to Langhuan Blessed Ground readily so that I won't be tested.
"As for the ultimate technique in Sky Demon Slip that you mentioned, Young Swordsman Happy, Sky Demon Slip is the supreme treasure of the evil cult! Each of them has peerless might, and Mantuo Villa does not have any martial arts that can compare to it. "
"…"
Happy said nothing.
The system had already started notifying him that he had decided to hand over the portrait, but Happy was not in a hurry to reply.
Since he knew that the secret of the portrait led to Langhuan Blessed Ground, he would find it a little hard to accept if he only obtained a small reward.
Besides …
There was no reason for the quest reward to be so little.
Silence was golden!
That sentence was indeed true.
When she saw that Happy was hesitating, Madam Wang's gaze changed with complicated emotions for a while before she gritted her teeth and made a difficult decision.
"As long as you agree to destroy the portrait with me, not only will I be willing to give you the martial art manual for Wave-like Subtle Steps, I will also ask Dali's Prince Duan for a martial art manual to make up for your loss."
'Dali's Prince Duan? Duan Zhengchun? '
Happy was shocked!
Three words practically flashed in his mind at lightning speed.
Sun Finger.
It was a supreme finger technique that had great power.
'Prince Duan is willing to hand over Sun Finger?' Happy was not surprised by Wave-like Subtle Steps, but Sun Finger was a finger technique that gathered the spirit qi in the world, and its power was above that of Joined Finger. If he could get two ultimate techniques at the same time, it was not as if he could not hand over the portrait in his hands, because he had never heard of anyone who had Sun Finger, which meant that it was an ultimate technique that was at least at Moksha Realm.
"Mantuo Villa has Sun Finger in its collection."
Madam Wang's answer caused Happy to be shocked.
However, when she said those words, her expression was a little strange.
Happy quickly understood what was going on.
Madam Wang and Prince Duan had an ill-fated relationship, and Wang Yuyan was their daughter. Right now, she was married to Duan Yu, whom Prince Duan had always treated as his own son. The people outside did not know the complicated relationship between them.
When he saw Madam Wang bring out a scroll and a small booklet as if she was performing a magic trick, Happy did not ask any more questions. However, his gaze became much more intense.
"This scroll has the supreme lightness skill of Leisurely Sect, Wave-like Subtle Steps. I believe that it will be much stronger than the Illusory Cave Steps you are practicing right now."
Happy's heart burned with passion, and he took the booklet seriously.
In Duan Yu's hands, Wave-like Subtle Steps was a top-class lightness skill for escaping. In the past, Duan Yu had relied on it to travel through the world of martial artists and avoid multiple situations where he would definitely die.
Li Qiushui had also used Wave-like Subtle Steps before. When he fought, his movements were strange and unfathomable. He could appear and disappear like a ghost, catching others off guard. It was a supreme lightness skill that could be used to attack, defend, and even escape.
Madam Wang placed the two martial art manuals in Happy's hands.
"Wave-like Subtle Steps might require a certain amount of qi to practice, but Young Swordsman Happy is a disciple of Shaolin Temple, and his foundation is solid. You will naturally be able to master it very quickly. But the requirements for Sun Finger are incredibly strict. If you don't have enough qi, you won't be able to practice it. Even Young Swordsman Happy might not be able to understand the profound secrets within a short period of time."
"Huh?"
Once Madam Wang mentioned it, Happy's gaze landed on the requirements for the two martial art manuals.
[Wave-like Subtle Steps:
[Practice Requirement: 200 Affinity, 200 Body Movement, 200 Comprehension, and can only be practiced in Moksha Realm!
[Sun Finger:
[Practice Requirement: 400 Affinity, 400 Arm Strength, 300 Comprehension, and can only be practiced in Inaction Realm!
When he saw the requirements for Sun Finger, Happy could not help but suck in a sharp breath.
It was not because the requirements for Sun Finger were very high and he could not turn it into his advantage and strength for the time being. Instead, it was because Happy knew the benefits of an Inaction Realm ultimate technique.
Up to then, aside from Evil Emperor, who had obtained the Inaction Realm Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art, there were only a handful of other Inaction Realm ultimate techniques in the game.
Happy knew the meaning behind having such a martial art in his hands.
"Young Swordsman Happy, look. Are the conditions I offered enough for you to trust me and return the portrait to me?"
"Of course."
Happy no longer hesitated. He brought out the portrait he obtained from the treasure house in Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts and personally handed it to Madam Wang.
"Madam, do you really intend to destroy it?"
Even though his rewards this time were great, Langhuan Blessed Ground was hidden behind the portrait, and it caused all martial artists to be tempted by it. Happy still could not completely get over it.
"Langhuan Blessed Land was once the hope for the Murong Clan to rise from the dead and restore the glory of the Great Yan Dynasty. But now, it is the greatest disaster left behind in the world of martial artists. The master of the Murong Clan once told me that no matter who is the one who activated Langhuan Blessed Land, once the investigation leads back to the Murong Clan, the Murong Clan will definitely be destroyed!"
Madam Wang's tone had already turned relaxed.
"Right now, I have regained the portrait. Unless someone can pry out the secret from me, it will be impossible for them to find Langhuan Blessed Ground."
As she spoke, Madam Wang brought the portrait closer to the candlelight.
An exquisite portrait of a beautiful woman and the portrait of Langhuan Blessed Ground, the greatest secret location in the game, was lit on fire just like that!
Whoosh.
The portrait was burned to ashes in the flames.
Madam Wang finally put on a relaxed expression, as if a huge burden had been lifted from her shoulders.
As he watched the portrait swiftly melt into the flames, Happy could not help but sigh.
'Perhaps …
'This must be the mentality of a martial artist.'
"Since this matter is settled, I still have other matters to attend to, so I won't disturb you any longer, madam!" Happy bade farewell to Madam Wang and left Mantuo Villa with two valuable ultimate techniques in his hands with complicated emotions.
…
Before he left Gusu City, Happy naturally did not forget to send a messenger pigeon to Wandering Know-it-all to ask about the subsequent development of the three Wild Wolves.
In the end, he was surprised.
Wandering Know-it-all was still very level-headed and did not choose to chase after them. He completely left the trio in the Chinese server and allowed them to take shortcuts and sail to the sea.
"It's rare for you to have the time to ask about this. Looks like you've already settled your matters in Jiangnan."
"More or less."
Happy answered.
He was originally prepared to search for Duan Yu and his wife, but he did not expect that he would run into Madam Wang along the way and obtain great benefits. Naturally, he was in a good mood.
"Your words are written with great flourish. Everything went smoothly. You should have a pretty good fortuitous encounter." It was no wonder then why Wandering Know-it-all was able to obtain Universe Secrets Inkstone's acknowledgment. He did indeed have some abilities that were different from normal people.
Happy had yet to truly practice Wave-like Subtle Steps, but Wandering Know-it-all had already deduced from other aspects that his trip to Jiangnan this time was incredibly smooth.
'Amazing!'
"By the way, log off for a while. Your fight against the three Wild Wolves has not only shocked the Chinese server, many of the countries in the world are also shocked. I reckon that the person in charge of the pay-to-view channel is already itching to get your battle replay. Don't miss the chance to become rich."
"You managed to guess this?" Wandering Know-it-all's reply rendered Happy speechless. "Are you really a diviner?"
"Perhaps …"
