After fifteen years of cultivation, he finally reached the pinnacle of the first rank!

Chapter 329 Deduction
"you sure?"

Li Musheng glanced at the little beggar, who nodded vigorously.

Once she learned this powerful acupoint striking technique, she also used it on Li Musheng, letting him experience the feeling of being unable to move, just like she did.

Then she can do whatever she wants to him and wipe away today's humiliation!

"As expected of someone connected to the Thief Saint, you remind me of an old friend."

Li Musheng narrowed his eyes slightly, then nodded and said:
"This acupoint striking technique of mine is something I created myself, called 'Sunflower Acupoint Striking Technique.' Since you want to learn it, there's naturally no problem."

As he spoke, Li Musheng glanced at the little beggar, stroked his chin, and said:

"You're the second person I've taught martial arts to. What's your name?"

Upon hearing this, the little beggar pouted and replied somewhat reluctantly:
"Bai Xiaotang".

Immediately, she muttered to herself again:

"What self-created martial arts? It can't be some amateurish skill, can it?"

However, she quickly shook her head at herself.

She had personally experienced Li Musheng's acupoint striking martial arts; it was impossible to defend against, leaving no trace, and the opponent's techniques were completely unpredictable. This martial art was definitely extraordinary.

"No, you know my name, and I need to know yours too. If you try to cheat, I won't let you go, no matter where you run to."

At this moment, the little beggar suddenly put his hands on his hips, glared at Li Musheng, and said.

"My name is Li Musheng."

Li Musheng spoke calmly.

Upon hearing this, the little beggar suddenly frowned, scratched his head, and said:

"I feel like I've heard this name somewhere before, but I can't quite place it..."

Li Musheng glanced at the other person but did not explain his identity.

What you need to know will come eventually. Sometimes, the most deadly form of showing off is the subtle kind. This ignorant little girl can just keep quiet about it from now on.

Then, Li Musheng turned his gaze and looked towards the direction of the restaurant.

At the same time, a blazing blade of light shone out from the restaurant, accompanied by a violent tremor of heaven and earth energy, causing the surrounding streets to tremble.

Seeing this, Li Musheng casually waved his hand, and the barrier of true energy surrounding the restaurant quietly collapsed.

The next moment, a sharp and domineering sword intent suddenly soared into the sky, which was clearly felt by all the martial arts practitioners watching from the sidelines.

"He advanced so quickly!"

The gray-robed old man in front of the restaurant looked up and could feel the powerful aura contained in the sword intent, which was undoubtedly at the Celestial Realm.

Just then, the three corpses from the Sun Moon Demonic Sect flew out of the restaurant and crashed straight onto the street.

Then, a coachman appeared in a flash, standing atop the roof of the tavern. His eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his aura was imposing. He surveyed the group of martial arts figures surrounding the tavern before speaking:

"Is there anyone who dares to take a blow from my blade?"

Upon hearing this, many martial arts practitioners exchanged glances, all looking at each other in bewilderment.

At this moment, Cao Gaoshan gently shook his head and said:
"If not, then everyone may leave."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately understood Cao Gaoshan's meaning and, not daring to linger, left in twos and threes.

Among the onlookers were several experts of the Celestial Realm, but after glancing at the gray-robed elder, they showed no intention of making a move. They simply bowed to Cao Gaoshan from afar before retreating and disappearing.

After all, they had seen the gray-robed elder make a move before, and he couldn't even break through the true energy barrier in the restaurant. Naturally, they had guessed that there might be other experts behind Cao Gaoshan.

At this moment, the young man in front of the restaurant and the old man in gray exchanged a glance. Seeing the other nod slightly, they stepped into the restaurant.

Now that the protective barrier of true energy surrounding the restaurant has dissipated, he can continue to collect the bodies of the young couple in the main hall.

The old man in gray looked up at Cao Gaoshan on the roof of the restaurant. The fact that the other party could advance to the Celestial Realm in such a short time clearly showed that he had accumulated profound knowledge and skills and was definitely not an ordinary martial arts master.

However, the other party's groom's attire seemed a bit too understated.

Cao Gaoshan naturally noticed the gray-robed old man's gaze, but he ignored it. After the surrounding martial arts figures gradually dispersed, he returned directly to the restaurant.

According to his original plan, it would take at least half a day to advance to the Celestial Realm.

But he clearly underestimated himself, or rather, he underestimated Li Musheng's guidance. The promotion process just now was a natural and smooth one, without any obstacles whatsoever.

Cao Gaoshan had never imagined that advancing to the Celestial Realm would be so simple; it was as easy as having hands!

At the same time, Li Musheng, who was on the roof of the shop, turned to look at the little beggar and said:

"Alright, come back with me and memorize the exercises."

Without waiting for the beggar's reply, Li Musheng grabbed him from a distance and brought him into the lobby of the restaurant.

By this time, all the waiters and waiters in the restaurant had already disappeared.

Li Musheng went behind the counter, took out paper and pen, and asked the little beggar to write down his martial arts skills on the spot.

At this moment, the young man who was collecting the body in the hall looked up and saw Li Musheng and the other man who had arrived at some unknown time. He was suddenly startled.

However, when he saw the little beggar, he clearly recognized him.

He glanced at Li Musheng, then at the little beggar, finally frowning and speaking abruptly:
"What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you that you're just a Class C bounty hunter, and this is extremely dangerous? I told you not to come along."

As he spoke, the young man walked towards the beggar and angrily said:

"Come with me! Disobeying orders will result in punishment when we get back!"

Seeing this, the little beggar was secretly delighted. She had just subtly winked at the young man, and he clearly understood her meaning.

However, just as the young beggar was about to be taken away, he heard Li Musheng's voice in his ear:

"Are you really willing to drag others down with you?"

Upon hearing this, the little beggar was immediately startled, and his expression changed drastically.

She almost forgot that Li Musheng had just managed to keep the two people in front of her out of the restaurant, which meant that even Old Man Sun was probably no match for this guy.

Thinking of this, Bai Xiaotang immediately deflated, looked at the young man who wanted to take her away, and sighed:
"Don't worry about me, you guys go first."

Upon hearing this, the young man was taken aback, carefully examined Bai Xiaotang, and then realized something.

He turned to look at Li Musheng, about to speak, but was stopped by the suddenly arriving gray-robed elder:
"Take their bodies away first, we'll talk about this later."

Having said that, the gray-robed elder, without waiting for the young man to say anything more, instructed him to take the two corpses from the hall and leave.

Bai Xiaotang, covered in dirt, watched the two figures leave, pouted, and then turned her gaze to the paper and pen that Li Musheng had handed her.

She had no choice but to accept it and then began to write it down from memory, stroke by stroke, in the lobby. Not long after, Cao Gaoshan and Shen Anran, along with the others, came down from upstairs.

Shen Anran and Cang Yinyue were aware of what happened when Cao Gaoshan was promoted, but they were certain that with Li Musheng around, nothing would go wrong, so they stayed in the restaurant with peace of mind.

At this time, Cao Gaoshan had completed his ascension to the Celestial Realm, and naturally, his group had to continue their journey.

However, when Cang Yinyue and Shen Anran saw that Li Musheng was sitting next to a little beggar who was staring at him and writing something, they were surprised.

The two were also a little curious and asked:

"Young master, what are you doing?"

Li Musheng didn't hide anything and told Bai Xiaotang what had happened.

"She's actually connected to the Master Thief!"

Shen Anran looked at the little beggar in front of her with great surprise.

The name of Bai Wuying, the "Saint of Thieves," is known to almost everyone in the martial arts world, and there are countless legends about him.

In his youth, he was a notorious thief in the martial arts world, robbing the rich to help the poor and upholding his code of honor. With his superb thieving skills, he roamed the martial arts world.

He never failed to steal anything he set his sights on.

He was hated by many top sects, but no one could do anything about him, which led to him earning the title of "Thief Saint".

In recent years, although the whereabouts of the Thief Saint have almost disappeared and he has long since disappeared from the martial arts world.

But his reputation has not diminished at all. In particular, as some of the most notorious thieves in the martial arts world have fallen from grace, the prestige of that "Saint of Thieves" continues to rise.

To this day, no thief has ever appeared in the martial arts world who can be compared to the "Master Thief".

Seemingly because the Thief Saint had a good reputation, Cang Yinyue and Shen Anran spoke well of him after learning that the little beggar was related to the Thief Saint.

"She looks like she's still a young girl."

"Perhaps he was too young and didn't understand the dangers of the world, which is why he ended up as a beggar."

Cang Yinyue and Shen Anran spoke one after the other, suggesting that Bai Xiaotang change her clothes and take a bath, and then give her some money after she finished memorizing her martial arts skills.

As Bai Xiaotang picked up her pen to write, she listened to the two of them talking, her eyes darting around, just about to take the opportunity to play the victim.

However, when Li Musheng glanced at her, she shrank back and had no choice but to suppress her thoughts and continue to memorize the martial arts.

At this moment, Li Musheng glanced at Shen Anran and the two kind-hearted girls, waved his hand, and said:

"Once she finishes writing the martial arts manual, you can do whatever you want with her."

Before long, Bai Xiaotang had written more than ten pages before stopping.

"This movement technique is divided into two parts, upper and lower. I have already written the upper part. I will write the lower part after you teach me the 'Sunflower Acupuncture Technique'."

Bai Xiaotang was clearly wary, but Li Musheng simply took the paper she had written on and glanced at it briefly.

He immediately nodded and said:
"Although the first part is actually enough, I keep my promise and will teach you the Sunflower Acupuncture Technique in the next few days. As for how much you can learn, that depends on your own talent."

After saying this, Li Musheng turned to look at Cang Yinyue and the other person, and said:

"Take her away, this guy probably hasn't showered in a month or so."

Upon hearing this, Cang Yinyue and Shen Anran nodded and led Bai Xiaotang toward the back of the restaurant.

Bai Xiaotang glared at Li Musheng, but did not refuse, nor did she take the opportunity to escape.

After all, she hadn't even mastered the acupoint striking technique Li Musheng possessed yet, so it would be a huge loss for her to leave like this!
Not long after, Li Musheng and his party set off from the restaurant and continued their journey to the capital of the Great Xuan Dynasty.

Four people and a cat sat in the fairly spacious carriage.

After taking a bath and changing into clean clothes, Bai Xiaotang was no longer the smelly, slovenly beggar she had been before. Instead, she revealed herself to be a lovely girl with a delicate and refined appearance.

However, although the girl looked cute, she still behaved like a beggar, being carefree and very active, sitting close to the big black cat.

I always tried to touch the big black cat's shiny fur, but I ended up getting scratched by the cat countless times.

"I've encountered countless stray cats before, but this is the first time I've seen a cat as big as you. Please let me pet you."

Bai Xiaotang kept talking to the big black cat, but the big black cat's green eyes showed disdain.

It was revered by countless high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital of Dali, and none of them dared to disrespect it.

You think a little beggar like you can touch it? No way.

However, the big black cat was very interested in the Thief Saint's martial arts skills. It picked up the papers that Li Musheng had read and secretly began to study them.

Bai Xiaotang had originally stipulated that Li Musheng could not pass on the movement techniques and martial arts she had written down to a second person, but since the big black cat was a cat, she didn't care.

For the rest of the journey, Li Musheng taught Bai Xiaotang martial arts while continuing to travel towards the capital of the Great Xuan Dynasty.

About seven days later, Li Musheng taught Bai Xiaotang the entire Sunflower Acupuncture Technique.

Li Musheng also obtained the complete movement techniques and martial arts from the Thief Saint.

"Swift as the wind, powerful as lightning, the Sunflower Acupuncture Technique!"

Bai Xiaotang muttered incantations, her two fingers moving like afterimages as she quickly tapped several times on a large tree in front of her, leaving behind small white pockmarks.

Upon seeing this, Bai Xiaotang nodded with a delighted expression.

Only after learning Li Musheng's acupoint striking martial art did she truly realize how powerful and terrifying it was.

It is absolutely the number one acupoint striking technique in the world, even more precious than the Thief Saint's movement technique she learned.

At the same time, she also discovered that Li Musheng had taught her this martial art without any reservations or secrets.

"How about it? Have I already mastered the basics?"

Bai Xiaotang asked Li Musheng, who was not far away, with a smug look on her face.

After learning the Sunflower Acupuncture Technique, Bai Xiaotang practiced almost day and night without any slacking off, and even stopped bothering the big black cat.

After all, she was incredibly lucky to have learned such a powerful martial arts skill, so she naturally couldn't afford to be lazy.

"You're far from it. You'll need to practice for another ten years or so before you can be considered to have made any progress."

Li Musheng shook his head, but continued to silently deduce the movement techniques and martial arts from the Thief Saint.

Although Bai Xiaotang had secretly made some changes when she was memorizing this martial art, she couldn't hide it from his eyes.

Later, the girl seemed to have a change of heart and corrected it, so he didn't need to spend much more time deducing it.
