Cultivating Immortality in the Winter Wasteland.

Chapter 476: Motivated by wealth
Chen Wang walked through the corridor and came to the main hall of the martial arts hall.

Someone went to report, and soon, a middle-aged man in his forties came over.

The clothes he wore were obviously much more luxurious than those worn by Master Hong. He was very strong and muscular, and he looked like a human-shaped bear when he stood there. His eyes were like copper bells, giving people a great sense of oppression.

He held two iron balls in his hands and slowly turned them, looking extremely impressive.

Coach Hong said, "Master Fang, this is Master Chen. He wants to learn the Thirteen Great Stone Smashing Styles and has come here because of your admiration for him."

The owner of the martial arts school frowned when he heard this, and was obviously dissatisfied with what Coach Hong did.

He said in a deep voice: "To learn martial arts, you need to start from the beginning, training step by step, without any room for falsehood. If you didn't explain this to Master Chen, wouldn't you be misleading the young man?"

As he spoke, his tone became somewhat harsh.

Coach Hong raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Chen Wang didn't want to embarrass him, so he took over the conversation and said with a smile: "I have also practiced boxing for a while, and I know how to do things according to my ability. Learning the Thirteen Great Stone Smashing Styles is just right for me."

Master Fang said, "Oh? May I ask what level of cultivation Master Chen has reached now?"

What kind of cultivation? I don't know.

Chen Wang said calmly: "The ninth level of body forging requires a martial art of the meridian opening realm, so I came here because of its reputation."

Master Fang was a little surprised, but he still glared at Master Hong fiercely before he said in a deep voice, "To be honest, Master Chen, I don't mean to offend you, but this Thirteen Great Stone Smashing Styles is a unique skill of my martial arts school. You need to practice it under me for several years. There must be no problem with your character and state of mind. I can teach you after you have examined them. Otherwise, I cannot teach you lightly. I hope Master Chen can understand this."

Chen Wang smiled and said, "I understand. When accepting a disciple, I naturally have to examine his character. It is normal to observe him for a period of time. However, I have something to do and will not stay here for long. As for this unique skill, I am willing to pay a large sum of money to buy it."

Master Fang shook his head and smiled.
"This is not a matter of money. If it is a martial art at the body-building level, I will sell it, but the martial art at the meridian-opening level was passed down by my father and cannot be taught to others lightly. If Mr. Chen wants to learn, you should go to the martial arts hall and start with the Black Tiger Golden Fist. I will teach you everything I know."

Chen Wang handed over a silver note with a smile.

This was exchanged by him at a money shop in Tiankang County.

"I hope the owner will be flexible."

Master Fang frowned slightly, behaving like a rich young man.

But when he took the banknote and looked at it, he was shocked.
Five thousand taels!
The eight-foot-tall, strong-boned Master Fang cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, "Originally, it should not be taught easily, but Young Master Chen is so sincere that I am deeply moved. Moreover, Young Master Chen has reached the ninth level of body forging at this age, which shows his extraordinary talent. I also have a heart of admiration for his talent, so I will teach you the Thirteen Great Stele Smashing Styles today."

He talked for a long time, but the most crucial part was actually the last sentence.

Then, the strong and serious owner smiled, invited Chen Wang to take a seat, and had someone serve him tea.

The look he gave Coach Hong also softened a lot.

"Coach Hong, you sit down too."

Master Fang's tone became lighter.

Coach Hong was very happy.

The owner of the museum has always had a hot temper. When did he become so kind to him?
Little did he know that in the eyes of Master Fang, he had brought him the God of Wealth.

It is true that we cannot teach randomly, but Chen Wang gave too much!

In this way, Chen Wang easily obtained the boxing manual of Thirteen Styles of Great Monument Smashing from the owner of the hall.

When he was leaving the martial arts gym, the gym owner who was at the Tongmai realm and Coach Hong came to see him off, looking very enthusiastic.

Long after Chen Wang left, the two of them were still standing there.

The disciples in the martial arts hall were also very curious.

Who is this young man who could be personally sent off by the owner of the hall and Coach Hong?

There were also some wealthy local kids practicing martial arts in the gym, but they had never seen this young man and were therefore very curious.

Chen Wang was naturally not short of money. He was very generous and could exchange some gold for a large pile of silver notes.

At this time he returned to the inn and opened the book of Thirteen Styles of Stone Breaking.

The Thirteen Great Stele-Smashing Styles is also a powerful and tough skill that can open up the meridians and cultivate true qi.

When the Qi and blood become strong to a certain degree, the human body will produce true Qi, which is the state of Tongmai.

Chen Wang took a look and read it through.

From the pinnacle of body building to the cultivation of true Qi, if one can accomplish it within half a year, he is a genius, and within three months, he is an unparalleled genius.

A thin strand of true qi will be born in the human body's dantian, which is the beginning of opening the meridians.

However, Chen Wang only read it once. After practicing this technique, the true energy in his body became extremely surging.

With a bang, it was as if a bomb was boiling in the body, the true energy was extremely turbulent, mighty and flowing endlessly.

Chen Wang sensed this true energy and found it was much inferior to his own magic power, but it also had its unique features. Its attack power was purer, while magic power contained many attributes.

"It's that simple?"

Chen Wang is now considered a martial artist at the Tongmai realm. Not only that, he is also at the pinnacle of Tongmai.

"I wonder what the state will be like after the meridians are opened?"

Chen Wang thought to himself.

He learned some information about the world.
There are powerful warriors in this world. They can split mountains and rocks, move mountains and fill the sea with a wave of their hands and a lift of their legs. They are extremely strong.

Therefore, Chen Wang is a little curious about the upper limit of this world.
I am also very interested in the martial arts system of this world.

…………

After Chen Wang left, the owner and Master Hong discussed in the room.
"Have the disciples who followed him returned?"

Coach Hong said, "I'm back."

Just now, the two of them sent two smart disciples to follow Chen Wang from a distance, all the way to the inn where he was staying.

"He stayed in the Fu'an Inn, alone, in Room No. 1."

Master Fang nodded: "It seems that he is a young man from another place. He has practiced some boxing and is traveling."

Coach Hong nodded.

"Yes, this man is really generous. He spent 5,000 taels of silver notes at once. You can't get this price on the black market."

Martial arts that can open the meridians can usually be auctioned for two to three thousand taels, and five thousand taels is an unheard-of sky-high price!
Master Fang let out a long breath.

"Yes, this guy is from another place and has no foundation. It's better to kill him. I see he has a lot of money on him. These five thousand taels are probably just a drop in the bucket."

A hint of murderous intent also appeared in Coach Hong's eyes.

Although they don't do this kind of thing on a daily basis, the world is in chaos, and a martial arts school cannot survive by just teaching apprentices.

"But this person is so generous, I'm afraid he has some background. Will he cause trouble in the future?"

Coach Hong said.

Master Fang said, "If you're afraid of trouble, then we might as well not practice martial arts. There's nothing to be afraid of if someone dies. As long as we do it cleanly, then when the time comes, we can just push the blame on them. Who would know it was us who did it?"

Coach Hong nodded and said through gritted teeth: "That's right!"

Master Fang said, "Call two of your capable disciples and we'll go tonight. I'll go myself to prevent any changes."

Coach Hong said, "He claims to be a ninth-level body forging warrior, but I see he is skinny and weak, and doesn't seem that powerful."

The warriors in this world are all very sturdy, more visually impactful than those bodybuilders, and very fierce. Chen Wang is actually quite strong, but in their eyes he is a little thin.

Master Fang licked his lips and said, "We can't let anything happen to such a fat sheep. Normally, it would be fine if you went by yourself, but I'm not sure if I'm not going this time."

Coach Hong smiled and said, "Yes, if the owner of the hall comes in person, there will be no mistakes."

But he was somewhat resentful in his heart. He had been there several times before and had never been so worried. This time, he must have seen that Mr. Chen was wealthy and was afraid that he would swallow it all.

But it is better to believe it than not. What if this Mr. Chen is not bragging and is really a ninth-level body forging expert? If a fight really breaks out, he may not be able to gain any advantage.

Master Fang glanced at Master Hong and knew what he was thinking. He sneered in his heart.
"If he wasn't a ninth-level body forging martial artist, why would he spend so much money to buy this martial art of the Tongmai realm? Idiot, but if it weren't for your brain, I really wouldn't have kept you until now."

On the surface, this world seems relatively calm and prosperous, but secretly it is very bloody and full of conflicts.

.........

When night was about to fall, the young lady from the Xu family sent someone to invite him again, and her words were sincere and heartfelt.

Chen Wang couldn't refuse, so he went to Xu's house with him.

The Xu family was very wealthy and although they were only staying temporarily in Tiankang County, they bought a house.

When Chen Wang arrived, the Xu family had already prepared a banquet.

Chen Wang was greeted by a graceful lady with a fair face. She looked like a rich girl who had been pampered and brought up in seclusion.

It's just that she manages the household business on a daily basis, which makes Mrs. Xu more capable.

Xu Miaoyin was also dressed very exquisitely today. Unlike during the day when her hair was covered with pearls and jade, her dress was more graceful and elegant, and she indeed had the temperament of a lady from a noble family.

In addition to some servants and maids, the Xu family also had some strong guards.

After taking her seat, Madam Xu raised her glass and said, "I relied on Master Chen to save my mother and my daughter's lives, and he didn't ask for a penny. Such an open-minded and chivalrous spirit is admirable. I toast to Master Chen!"

They had wanted to reward Chen Wang with a large sum of money, but Chen Wang didn't value the money at all, so he refused.

We just came to Tiankang County together and hitchhiked.

Chen Wang smiled and said, "Mrs. Xu, you are too polite. After today, don't mention this matter again. It is the right thing to do when seeing injustice."

Once these words were spoken, the heroism seemed even more heroic.

Not only the graceful Mrs. Xu, but also the charming Xu Miaoyin were also heart-pounding at this moment, and were a little dazed for a moment.

The Xu family’s food and wine are all very delicious.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, everyone's faces were already a little drunk.

The graceful Mrs. Xu's cheeks also blushed at this time, making her look even more charming.

Chen Wang was accompanied by this beautiful mother and daughter, and there were also beautiful maids serving him.

Little did they know that outside, in the howling cold wind, in a hidden corner, the strong and powerful Master Fang, Coach Hong and two other caring disciples were waiting.

They found a secluded place to hide. Looking at the laughter and warm light coming from the mansion, Coach Hong cursed in a low voice, "We are freezing and starving here, but this kid is having a good time in there!"

A martial arts school disciple also had a fierce look in his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Why not kill them? As far as I know, there is only a mother and daughter living in this house, and they are very cute."

Master Fang shook his head.

"Don't make things complicated. Besides, we are not robbers."

After this was said, everyone fell silent.

If they don’t say it on the surface, you won’t know what they are thinking in their hearts.

If we are not robbers, what are we doing here?
In fact, the owner of this place has property in the local area and has connections. He learned that the mother and daughter seemed to have a relationship with the local county magistrate and there were many guards in the mansion.

If the fight really gets out of hand, there might be chaos, so there are police patrolling the streets.

"When that guy comes out, just hack him."

However, they waited for about half an hour and still saw no sign of Chen Wang.

Coach Hong has a hot temper and can't hold back: "Why not just go all out and kill him? This kid has a good-looking body. What if the mother and daughter take a fancy to him and let them stay overnight? Wouldn't we have waited for nothing?"

The owner of that pavilion said, "Wait a little longer."

After waiting for another half an hour, Chen Wang still didn't come out.

Xu Miaoyin, who was drunk, had been helped back to her room by the maid, leaving only the graceful Madam Xu drinking with Chen Wang.

The maidservant kept serving wine. Mrs. Xu could drink quite well, and the two of them chatted happily.

This graceful Mrs. Xu has a unique charm, and her eyes are full of moving charm.

While drinking, Chen Wang discovered that Mrs. Xu was teasing him intentionally or unintentionally, with her fingers gently stroking the back of his hand.

Chen Wang smiled and grabbed her hand.

"Ma'am, I can read your palms. Why don't I take a look at it for you?"

Madam Xu chuckled and said, "Mr. Chen can also read palms, so please take a good look at them for me."

Chen Wang rubbed her palms, making Mrs. Xu's eyes seem to be filled with mist and half of her body seemed to be limp.

Finally, Master Fang and his companions could no longer hold back and sneaked in. They heard the laughter and joy coming from the mansion and there was anger in everyone's eyes.

"He has taken a fancy to the lady of the Xu family. In my opinion, this pair of dogs and bitches will have a happy ending tonight!"

Coach Hong cursed.

His breathing was a little heavy at this time, and he couldn't help swallowing.

A guard noticed some movement around him and immediately shouted, "Who is it?"

At this time, these people had their faces covered with black scarves, leaving only their eyes exposed, and they moved very quickly.

Two guards rushed forward and were immediately beaten back.

Master Fang sighed in his heart: "It's not okay if you are not a professional fighter or robber. You have to make a big deal out of it."

At this time, Chen Wang opened the door and walked out.

The beautiful and graceful woman following next to him was now somewhat sober and looked a little panicked.

The maids around her were also a little panicked.

Mrs. Xu was a little scared at this time, and she moved closer to Chen Wang, with half of her body leaning on him.

Coach Hong was now even more jealous and crazy. He shouted coldly and slapped him with his palm!

Mrs. Xu was so frightened that her face turned pale.

But Chen Wang raised his hand and grabbed Coach Hong's wrist.

Coach Hong felt as if he was trapped by a steel hoop and also as if he was burned by a branding iron.

He suddenly screamed and fell to the ground unconsciously.

Chen Wang took off the veil on his face and said with a smile:
"Master Hong, what does this mean?"
