The exit that Xiao Tan and Laughing Soul found was in the forest to the west of town. Initially, they had fallen into the hole when they were searching the houses, but now they had traversed the entire Chang Lin Town underground.
If they were walking on the ground, they would not have needed more than half a day. However, underground, the paths were complicated and winding. Occasionally, they would run into obstacles, and they might even turn back. They were lucky to be able to walk out before dawn on the third day.
When the two returned to Chang Lin Inn, it was the darkest moment before dawn, and the inn's door was still closed. Of course, there were side doors, back doors, second-floor corridor windows, third-floor corridor windows, and so on … there were many ways to enter the inn. If it were any other martial artist, as long as they had a little bit of experience in the martial world or a foundation in lightness skill, it would be easy for them to enter and leave the inn. But these two …
Bang bang bang …
At three or four in the morning, when people were asleep, they started to knock on the door.
After knocking for a while, a worker's voice came from inside. "Who is it?"
"The one from Sky Room C, let us in," Xiao Tan replied.
Several seconds later, the worker opened the door and said sleepily, "Sir, why are you outside in the middle of the night?"
"Haha … I'm sorry, thank you." Xiao Tan naturally would not answer the man's question. He replied with a few words and then went upstairs with Laughing Soul.
The worker naturally did not really want to know what they were doing outside in the middle of the night; he was just joking. After the two went upstairs, the worker closed the door and returned to the counter on the first floor to continue his slumber. There was a reason why the worker would sleep in the lobby on the first floor. It was not that he was afraid of losing money from the counter, but he was afraid that someone would come to steal the wine. To put it bluntly, he was afraid of Lu San …
Returning to the guest room, the two pushed open the door and saw Atobe sitting alone on the only bed in the room. His legs were crossed, and his fingers were intertwined. They hung naturally on his feet, and his eyes were closed.
"Hmm, we haven't seen each other for a day, and Brother Jin has already entered the path of cultivation?" Laughing Soul mocked.
Atobe had already heard them coming in. He knew that those who could open the door from the outside had to be his teammates, so he did not panic. At this moment, he slowly opened his eyes and said, "I'm using a skill to recover my stamina points."
"Oh? There's actually an active skill that restores energy? "Xiao Tan asked." Then what does this skill consume? "
"There is no exhaustion," Atobe replied. "But you have to meditate like this."
Laughing Soul seemed to have captured some information from his words and immediately asked, "Have you learned some kind of internal energy from the NPCs in this scenario?"
"You guessed right." Atobe smiled proudly. "This afternoon, Lin Chang and Su Tang came. Naturally, it was because of the same thing. I said, I don't know where Master Laozhu and his wife went. Even the two of you didn't return last night. But I can be sure that the four of you are not dead. " He saw the change in Xiao Tan and Laughing Soul's expression, so he added, "Don't worry, I wouldn't have told them about the 'team tab'. Even if I did, they wouldn't have believed me, and they wouldn't have understood me. "Lin Chang and Su Tang were quite polite. They said that there was no need to rush this. After the duel, they invited all of us from Broken Sword Chahitsu to visit the Ye family. We'll talk about it then. Then, they bade farewell." His lips curled into a smile. "At the time, an idea came to me, and I told Lin Chang …"
"You told him to teach you the basic internal energy that was supposed to be taught to the leader?" Laughing Soul interrupted.
"Yes," Atobe replied. "It was almost the third day. I predicted that the group would be very busy on the day of the duel, and after that, we would be leaving the scenario. So yesterday afternoon was the only chance. Since Lin Chang promised to teach Brother Feng martial arts, and also made it clear that it was just a shallow set of internal energy that could be taught casually … I took advantage of the situation and told him to teach me the set of internal energy first, and then I would teach it to Brother Feng. This way, he wouldn't have to make a special trip for this matter. "
"Not bad, you managed to learn a skill," Laughing Soul commented. "As Jin Fugui, that was beyond his ability."
"What do you mean by Jin Fugui! Is Jin Fugui some kind of animal? "Atobe grumbled." Furthermore, what's wrong with the name? Even if it's a bit vulgar, it's a kind wish from my parents, a kind of wish! "
"Your parents are up to no good …" Xiao Tan chimed in from the side.
"You can't say that. I believe most parents have their child's best interest in mind, and they're just doing bad things with good intentions," Laughing Soul added.
"You pair …" Atobe wanted to say adulterous couple, but that was stopped by the system. Before he could finish the sentence, he swallowed it back and changed his words. "Oh well … I'm a professional player, after all. I'm not going to argue with a group like Underworld Frontline."
Xiao Tan patted Atobe on his shoulder. "The friendship between men depends on the level of sarcasm between each other. Therefore, we're talking about you because we trust you. "
As he finished, with a slap, Xiao Tan was hit on the back of his head by Laughing Soul.
"I'm not a man!" Laughing Soul said.
"Hahaha …" Atobe laughed. "And how good the relationship between a man and a woman is depends on how hard the woman hits and the man's tolerance."
Xiao Tan held the back of his head and changed the topic awkwardly. "By the way, the internal energy that you've learned … or skill, what kind of effect is it?"
"The name of the skill is Qi Drawing in the Warm Wind. It's one of the basic internal energy skills of the Ye family. If it's turned into a skill, the effect is … as long as I meditate and guide my breathing according to a certain method, I can recover one percent of my Stamina Points every minute, and it won't affect my own Stamina Points recovery speed, "Atobe replied.
"Not bad. This way, even if your Stamina Points drop to zero, you only need to meditate for half an hour to recover to about half. In an hour, you'll recover about seventy to eighty percent," Laughing Soul commented. "That's a good skill."
"From how I see it, this wuxia scenario is a treasure trove of skills," Atobe said. "That's not all I've gained. In the evening, the young master of the Tang Sect came to visit. He said that to thank me for my kindness, he wanted to give me a large sum of money. However, I thought about it from another perspective. What's the point of that? I'm not going to stay in this world for long.
Therefore, I said, why don't Brother Tang teach me some basic kung fu to practice? He agreed immediately and taught me the Wind Grabbing the Moon. This is a kung fu for the folding fan. After it's turned into a skill, it can passively increase my speed of using the large iron fan. " He paused before continuing. "I've been practicing and experimenting in my room. Now, I can use the fan twice as fast as before."
"Oh, no wonder you're recovering your Stamina Points," Xiao Tan said.
"Hmm, do you have any news from the leader?" Laughing Soul asked.
"No, I was hoping for you to bring me some news," Atobe said. "The main quest to eliminate the Bell Demon is still there. This means that they should still be dealing with a boss in the Realm of the Bell, right?"
"Hmm …" Laughing Soul nodded with contemplation.
"By the way, what have the two of you found so far?" Atobe asked.
After that, the three of them exchanged the information they had obtained in the guest room. Other than the information about the martial world and the gossip about Mu Rong Yin and Tang Size, the most important point was the secret of Lin Chang possessing the Shapeless and Formless Power.
