BXBX NOVEL Chapter 30: Long Fei
Chapter 30: Long Fei
The next day, Lu Changsheng woke up early.
Despite going to bed late last night, perhaps due to the continuous blood exchange, he looked lively and energetic, without any signs of fatigue.
The servants of the Gao Family Castle brought breakfast.
Lu Changsheng helped his master finish breakfast, and then they, along with others, went to bid farewell to the castle\'s lord.
At the castle, they were received not by Gao Zanhu, but by his wife.
She explained that Gao Zanhu had some matters to attend to and couldn\'t see off Wu Jing and the others.
This made Wu Jing somewhat angry.
Lu Changsheng naturally understood that Gao Zanhu had already passed away.
Although Lady Gao appeared calm on the surface, Lu Changsheng could see a hint of panic and weariness in her eyes.
Perhaps, for Lady Gao, she had already noticed that the disappearance of Gao Zanhu and the others was somewhat unusual.
Lu Changsheng didn\'t want to stay any longer, so he persuaded his master to leave quickly.
So, they boarded the carriage and slowly left the Gao Family Castle.
Along the way, the apprentices seemed to be somewhat nostalgic for the luxurious life at the Gao Family Castle.
In just one day, the opulence of the Gao Family Castle had already captivated them.
The journey was uneventful, and they safely returned to Miaoshou Garden.
In Gao Family Castle, Wu Jing had not been treated with respect, and he vented his anger on the apprentices.
Lu Changsheng continued to strengthen his bones as usual and consumed his medicinal meals.
Because Lu Changsheng had been continuously undergoing blood exchange, his daily food intake had increased significantly.
Being a pharmacist himself, he knew that this was his body "exchanging blood," which required a lot of nutritional supplementation. So, he purchased some supplements to meet his body\'s needs.
And so, twenty days passed.
"The Falling Leaves Knife Technique is complete, and Comprehension has increased by 3 points."
"The Hundred Victories Boxing Technique is complete, and Comprehension has increased by 3 points."
"The Nine Palaces Footwork is complete, and Comprehension has increased by 3 points."
On this day, rows of small characters appeared before Lu Changsheng\'s eyes.
"My martial skills are finally complete."
"These martial skills are indeed at least third-level martial skills; otherwise, with my current level of comprehension, it would be impossible to complete them in just over twenty days."
Lu Changsheng didn\'t feel too surprised. He checked his attribute panel to confirm.
Host: Lu Changsheng
Comprehension: 265 (considerable potential)
Icy Bone Forging Technique: 5th level
Nine-Character Thunderous Chant: Not initiated
In just over twenty days, Lu Changsheng had completed ten third-level martial skills, earning him 30 points of Comprehension.
Therefore, on the attribute panel, Lu Changsheng\'s Comprehension had already reached 265 points.
However, even with such high Comprehension, he still couldn\'t initiate the Nine-Character Thunderous Chant.
Lu Changsheng estimated that he would need at least 300 points of Comprehension to initiate the Nine-Character Thunderous Chant.
Then there was the Icy Bone Forging Technique.
With the "benefits" of his continuous blood exchange, the progress of the Icy Bone Forging Technique was swift, and he had already reached the fifth level. At this point, Lu Changsheng had essentially forged his bones into the inner layer.
Bones were divided into the outer layer, inner layer, and marrow.
After reaching the inner layer, even with the support of medicinal meals and "blood exchange," the efficiency of the Icy Bone Forging Technique rapidly decreased.
The main reason was the lack of the most crucial condition for the Icy Bone Forging Technique: coldness.
The efficiency of the Icy Bone Forging Technique would reach its peak only in a frigid environment.
"The weather is getting colder, but it may take another month or two for Nanyang City to become completely cold."
"Wasting one or two months is not cost-effective. I heard that further north in Wushan City, it has already snowed, and even the rivers have frozen over. Especially in the center of Wushan, the temperature is even lower."
"Perhaps I can make a trip to Wushan when I have some free time and complete the Icy Bone Forging Technique."
Lu Changsheng thought for a moment and went directly to the pharmacy to see his master, Wu Jing.
"Master, I have some personal matters to attend to and will be away for about one or two months."
Wu Jing looked up at Lu Changsheng.
If it were someone else, Wu Jing wouldn\'t be so accommodating.
But Lu Changsheng was different. Wu Jing was extremely satisfied with Lu Changsheng\'s performance, and now he regarded him as his own successor, even more so than his own son.
"To read ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. It\'s good to go out. By the way, do you have enough money with you?"
Wu Jing asked with concern.
"Master, I have enough money."
"Good, then go. When you\'re out, try to avoid trouble as much as possible. If you can avoid it, don\'t stick your neck out."
"I will follow your teachings, Master."
Lu Changsheng left.
Wu Jing had been truly good to him, generously sharing his medical knowledge and almost everything he knew, which warmed Lu Changsheng\'s heart.
As for the other apprentices, they looked at him with envy.
But they were not Lu Changsheng. If they dared to leave, they would most likely be expelled from Miaoshou Garden.
Lu Changsheng returned home to prepare.
This trip to Wushan City would likely take ten to fifteen days at least.
If you added the time needed to practice the Icy Bone Forging Technique, it would be at least a month.
During this long period, Lu Changsheng naturally had to bring enough Nine Treasures Bone-Refining Powder with him.
And weapons. Just a dagger wouldn\'t be very convenient.
In the martial world, a sword or blade was indispensable.
Lu Changsheng chose a short sword.
Using a short sword to perform the Instant Kill Technique was not much different from using a dagger. Moreover, with his current physical qualities, explosive power, and other factors, even without the Instant Kill Technique, his strength was not inferior to any organ refining practitioner when using various sword and fist techniques.
"When traveling the martial world, the art of disguise is essential."
Unfortunately, Lu Changsheng didn\'t know how to disguise himself.
The art of disguise was a secret skill that wasn\'t easily acquired.
However, with a simple change of clothing style, adding a beard, and using medicinal herbs to darken his complexion slightly, Lu Changsheng\'s appearance changed significantly.
Unless it was someone who knew him extremely well, they probably wouldn\'t recognize him.
Lu Changsheng set off quickly.
He rented a horse and took three days to arrive in Wushan City.
Upon arriving at Wushan City, he immediately felt a chill in the air.
In strict terms, this was Lu Changsheng\'s first time traveling the martial world, so he was cautious in everything he did.
Even when choosing an inn, he visited several before deciding to stay at an inn called "Fulailin."
Inside the inn, Lu Changsheng ordered a plate of beef in sauce and drank some wine.
People around him included merchants, commoners, and martial artists with knives and swords.
Some martial artists, in high spirits, were sharing interesting stories from the martial world.
"Have you heard? Some time ago, the \'Dragon Soaring with the Killing Blade,\' Long Fei, pursued the You brothers for a thousand miles and finally killed them deep in Wushan City."
"The You brothers were no pushovers. They were notorious for being notorious flower thieves. Even top organ refiners might not have their speed and agility. They\'ve been living carefree for years, and no one could catch them. Who would have thought they would fall at the hands of Long Fei?"
"Heh heh, Long Fei is a man who emerged from the bloody battles in the Northern Barbarian lands. He\'s known as the \'Killing Blade\' and hates evil as if it were his enemy. Over the past few years, he\'s killed how many villains? He\'s been through no less than twenty blood-soaked battles! The You brothers, however, are incredibly audacious. They even kidnapped the daughter of one of Long Fei\'s good friends, truly seeking their own doom."
"I heard that Long Fei is injured and has been hiding in our Wushan City. Some of his enemies are currently searching for him everywhere..."
It seemed that Long Fei had quite a reputation in the martial world.
These martial artists seemed to admire "Dragon Soaring with the Killing Blade" Long Fei.
"Splash, splash."
At that moment, seven burly and menacing-looking martial artists walked in from the door.
The whole inn fell silent at once.
The seven martial artists exuded a fierce aura and scanned the people in the inn with their eyes.
Finally, their gaze settled on a table in the corner.
Sitting at that table was a man wearing a cloak, with a knife and a package on the table, dressed like a martial artist.
The seven martial artists walked straight toward the man in the cloak.
As they walked, they drew their swords and surrounded the man in the cloak.
"Long Fei, don\'t think we can\'t recognize you just because you\'re wearing a cloak."
"Seven years ago, you killed my younger brother, and today, you\'ll settle this debt!"
As the words fell, everyone in the inn was surprised.
The man in the cloak was none other than the renowned "Dragon Soaring with the Killing Blade," Long Fei?
