Diligence System: From Servant to Martial King-Chapter 298 - 262: Fuel in the Belly, Gathering Three Flowers Above, Encountering Yellow Nine Ginseng, Hope for Magic Dao (Part 2)
"But it has stained quite a few clothes. If one could exhale clean air to blow away filth, wouldn’t it be most convenient? Thus avoiding the need for hand washing."
Li Xian truly didn’t know. It is not anyone who possesses such talent, even if it is Wen Caishang, with extraordinary talent and perfect appearance.
When she performed "Gathering Three Flowers on the Crown," the clean energy produced was quite thin, and the capability to dispel filth was quite weak. Blowing on old clothes could only remove a portion. Ultimately, scrubbing by hand was still needed. Thus, why bother showcasing such a feat?
She is extremely proud, and her actions are by no means low-key. Such half-hearted tasks she always finds too lazy to perform. The characteristics she speaks of like "Ethereal Immortal Sound" and "Chest Drumming Like Thunder" are not her forte, and thus she abandons them.
In truth, even so, those like Su Qiuyu and Li Quan, who pride themselves on being adept at the Ethereal Immortal Sound, are far less skilled than she.
However, she is ashamed to display it. This shows her pride, and the techniques she employs must be beyond the reach of others.
For Second Realm Martial Artists, the four characteristics: Ethereal Immortal Sound, Gathering Three Flowers on the Crown, Muddy Clothes on the Body... and so on, all have curious uses. Moreover, whether deep or shallow in utility depends on the person! 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
Li Xian’s "Gathering Three Flowers on the Crown"... must be extraordinarily strong. As for the Ethereal Immortal Sound... although extremely strong, it cannot be considered "exceptionally strong." Because Ethereal Immortal Sound is related to bone structure.
Li Xian’s spine is like a mountain, and his bone structure is incredibly resilient. The Ethereal Immortal Sound is surging and grand, far surpassing others in effect. But the quantity of his bone structure is no different from ordinary people.
He once met a talent from the Flower Cage Sect, possessing "Snake Bone Appearance." A segment of clever snake bone appeared out of nowhere. If he tread into the Martial Arts Second Realm, in terms of the Ethereal Immortal Sound, he’d gain several additional segments, or even dozens of segments of resonance compared to ordinary people.
In this way, it can be described as "remarkable."
The path of martial arts, a slight pull moves the whole body.
Li Xian, initially delighting in his strange technique, continuously exhaled white mist in his joy. Thus, the guesthouse was cleaned to an extreme. The bedding, floor, windows, bookcase... all gleamed as if new.
"What a marvelous trick! What a marvelous trick!"
Playful through most of the night.
Then he went to bed to sleep.
...
...
Next day.
Li Xian’s face was rosy, his spirits high, thinking the Five Viscera Avoiding Dross and Gathering Yang Scripture was truly formidable; practicing it over time cultivated strength and gathered vitality, with many benefits.
Li Xian rented the guest room for three days.
After three days, whether successful or not, he would leave.
From the time of Chen, Li Xian began to investigate in the bustling market, teahouses, taverns, guesthouses, gangs... his experience in Jianghu was extensive, and he had his own methods for gathering information. His tongue was like a reed, moving among the fish.
Indeed, he heard clues about the "Black-faced Bat King." It is rumored this person is short and has short legs, but their lightweight skill is exceedingly formidable.
Originally, an honest farmer from the countryside, he accidentally gained the traditions of an evil sect, thereby starting to live by blood collection, strengthening himself. In the area east of Qiong Heavenly Mansion, he has been committing crimes for a long time.
But this person is cautious by nature, and several sieges have been dodged by him.
After Li Xian initially understood, he found his wanted poster.
A wicked countenance he indeed bore:
Face wide but eyes narrow, teeth protruding with large ears.
Eyes concealed with ferocity, mouth displaying ferocity.
The Red List states: Black-faced Bat King, a native of Qiong, committing countless evil acts, highly skilled. Anyone who captures his head will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver. Because he killed the Luo Family’s legitimate daughter, the Brocade City’s Luo Family is summoning Jianghu righteous warriors to strangle this thief, on top of offering an additional reward of five hundred taels.
"Hmm?"
Li Xian was carefully reading the Red List. His peripheral vision suddenly caught two familiar figures, so he moved his eyes along; the man and woman were walking side by side, the very two he met accidentally last night.
Both wore yellow garments. The man was upright and tall, with a longsword at his waist. The woman had a slender figure, youthful and beautiful. The two walked side by side, noticeably graceful and distinguished, exuding an air of arrogance.
These two originated from "Jing Chun Mountain."
The forces around the Qiong Heavenly Mansion were scattered, with sects, families, gangs, schools... all present. Each taking root and collecting wealth. However, if seeking forces truly famous in the "Yu Nan Dao," one wouldn’t find many.
"Jing Chun Mountain" reluctantly counted as one.
Jing Chun Mountain is located east of the Qiong Heavenly Mansion, towering a thousand feet high, with spring prevailing throughout the year, hence the name "Jing Chun." The sect’s scale isn’t large, but "Jing Chun Daoist" has profound origins, with countless connections to the renowned "Yue Mountain Sword Sect" in Yu Nan Dao.
Combined with its own strengths, its fame spread wide.
The man is named "Wang Long," and the woman is named "Ji Hui." This journey aims for training, punishing villains and promoting their reputation.
Li Xian quietly followed, secretly utilizing Seven Stars Step, Vast Leg, Clear Wind Leg... mixing various martial skills, his steps made no sound, light as a feather, as if mist was drifting by.
Listening to the two chatting, along with some speculation, he learned the situation here.
Originally...
A few days prior, the Luo Family from the "Essence Treasure Pavilion" acquired a "Human Yellow Essence Treasure - Yellow Nine Ginseng."
Human Yellow Essence Treasure nurtured by heaven and earth, infinitely precious. Yet, this world is vast and boundless, rich in resources. If lucky, one might witness Epic Treasure Pavilion, Hidden Dragon Pavilion, Prestige Phoenix Pavilion, Heavenly Qilin Pavilion... and other top auction houses auctioning off items.
The Luo Family struggled to acquire the "Yellow Nine Ginseng." Naturally, they would protect it with all their might, yet were attacked halfway, amidst chaos, a Luo Family prodigy carrying the Yellow Nine Ginseng, hid in various places.
Evading the robbery assault.
Finally reached near the family, immediately wrote to inform the family. The family dispatched experts to aid, seeming to succeed. But when the family experts arrived, the prodigy had already been caught by the Black-faced Bat King, drained of blood.
Thus, the Yellow Nine Ginseng ended up in the hands of the Black-faced Bat King.
The Luo Family feared that the "Yellow Nine Ginseng" trace might leak, inciting further contention. So they used "avenging the daughter" as a reason to extensively search for the Black-faced Bat King.
Also worried the Black-faced Bat King might escape, they rallied Jianghu heroes, dispatched more personnel, jointly besieged the Black-faced Bat King. Rumor has it, whoever could kill the Black Bat King... the Luo Family’s beloved daughter, one of Brocade City’s renowned golden pins, might not hesitate to marry.
