Ten years of dormancy: Starting as a martial arts master at the pinnacle

"Brother A Niu, I've avenged you."

Li Changqing had no interest in investigating the identity of this fake Du Daniu.

Li Changqing would never forgive him for killing the original Du Daniu.

As for the conspiracy behind this, Li Changqing didn't really want to get involved.

Those unaware of this news will not cause trouble for the canal gang.

Those who know this news will also carefully consider whether they can afford to offend the current Grand Canal Gang.

Five late-stage Innate Realm cultivators, one of whom is a half-step Transcendent Realm cultivator.

Seven stages of innate nature, from the early to the middle stages.

A total of twelve innate masters died on the docks of the Canal Gang, in front of hundreds of people.

This matter cannot be kept secret.

Not to mention this fake Du Daniu, although he hasn't shown much ability.

But with a little research, it’s not hard to see that he is a genuine master of profound mysteries.

There are many powerful forces in the martial arts world.

There aren't many teams that can field such a lineup.

Such a powerful force might not even be interested in what Nan Zhentian possesses.

Li Changqing placed Du Daniu's body in the reeds.

There are flocks of birds in the reeds; it seems this body won't last forever.

Before leaving, with the thought of trying his luck no matter what, Li Changqing touched Du Daniu's chest and cuffs.

Since the other party is not the original owner, they certainly wouldn't dare leave the things at home, so they would most likely be carrying them with them.

As Li Changqing expected, he did indeed obtain quite a few good things.

First, there's a red gourd of pills. What exactly are these pills used for?

Li Changqing was unable to defend himself for the time being.

It is so that even a grandmaster at the Tongxuan realm would treasure it and carry it with him.

It must be something extraordinary.

Besides the gourd of pills, there were also several dozen taels of silver and a dozen gold leaves.

"We've struck it rich!"

Although Li Changqing received good treatment in the canal gang, there was no way he could have accumulated so much stuff.

What surprised Li Changqing even more was that small stack of silver notes.

The amount ranged from fifty to five hundred taels, totaling more than a dozen sheets, which amounted to approximately three thousand taels.

"Speaking of which, this grandmaster-level expert is actually a bit poor!"

As far as Li Changqing knew, it was quite easy for a master at the Grandmaster level to make money.

Take the guest advisors they hired as an example; their annual fixed stipends alone amounted to a full ten thousand taels of silver.

Each job comes with an additional reward, depending on the size of the task and the time spent.

As fellow grandmasters, Du Daniu's life has been far too miserable.

The thought flashed through my mind.

Li Changqing focused his attention on the last three items.

Among them were two exquisite daggers, which were Du Daniu's previous weapons.

Li Changqing took it in his hand, gestured with it for a while, and then slashed forward with the dagger.

A sharp sword beam shot out, following the flow of Li Changqing's internal energy.

As the sword flashed, a large patch of reeds in front of Li Changqing was cleanly cut off.

The cuts on the reeds are as smooth as new.

Li Changqing stared thoughtfully at the dagger in his hand.

"It can actually enhance the power of my sword energy?"

The dagger in his hand must be the legendary divine weapon.

However, Li Changqing was not familiar with this aspect, so he did not know the names of the two daggers.

Fortunately, this won't have any major impact.

Li Changqing tucked the dagger into his waistband, intending to use it whenever needed.

Besides the two daggers, there was also a scroll of animal hide.

What kind of animal is this hide made of?

Li Changqing couldn't tell for a moment, but he could feel that the skin was extremely tough.

Without using his internal energy, Li Changqing couldn't even tear the animal hide.

This animal hide is most likely impervious to water and fire, making it very suitable for preservation.

"Using such a precious tool specifically for recording things... the contents inside must be extraordinary!"

Before even unfolding it, Li Changqing had already guessed what was inside the animal skin scroll.

It could be a treasure map, or something else entirely. The only thing he was certain of was that there was definitely treasure inside.

Otherwise, Du Daniu wouldn't have kept it so closely to his body.

Opening the animal skin scroll, Li Changqing clearly saw the thirty-six pictures recorded on it, with markings indicating the flow of internal energy on the pictures.

"I searched high and low without finding it, only to have it come to me effortlessly!"

At this moment, Li Changqing urgently needed high-level cultivation techniques from this world to improve his own cultivation.

I wonder if his advanced cultivation techniques can achieve a second innovation, just like the basic techniques.

Ultimately, he created a unique martial art that belonged solely to him, Li Changqing.

"Cloud Dragon Body Refining Technique!"

Upon seeing the name of the cultivation technique, Li Changqing was visibly taken aback.

This doesn't look like martial arts at all; it looks more like a legendary cultivation technique.

The Cloud Dragon Body Refining Technique is divided into twelve levels.

The cultivation is extremely difficult; each level of cultivation is like shattering and rebuilding one's entire body's bones.

The realms corresponding to these twelve levels were also far beyond Li Changqing's expectations.

The first layer corresponds to the day after tomorrow.

The second layer corresponds to the initial stage of innate nature.

The third layer corresponds to the later stage of innate constitution.

The fourth level corresponds to the early stage of the Profound Realm...

Even if one only cultivates to the third level, one can become invulnerable to swords and spears, and immune to all poisons...

Upon reaching the fourth level of cultivation, one can even avoid water.

Du Daniu clearly hadn't mastered the basics; otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy for Li Changqing to kill him.

It will take at least two more punches!

"This cultivation technique has a total of twelve levels, and we've only reached the sixth level so far!"

The fifth level corresponds to the mid-stage of the Profound Realm.

The sixth level corresponds to the late stage of the Profound Realm.

Even if there's only half a copy of this technique, if it were placed in the martial arts world, it would be considered a near-divine level martial art.

In addition, there are twelve floors in total.

If it's the complete Cloud Dragon Body Refining Technique, it might be a peerless martial art that surpasses even divine skills.

"What a pity!"

This incomplete manuscript had negligible effect on Li Changqing.

But Li Changqing still intended to cultivate.

With his extraordinary comprehension, he might be able to deduce the next six levels.

If he can deduce it, this divine skill can be further improved.

Then Li Changqing might be able to take it a step further.

This is also the purpose of Li Changqing's collection of other martial arts techniques.

His martial arts skills had already reached a bottleneck, and he urgently needed to find a way to advance further.

Besides the cultivation method, the Cloud Dragon Body Refining Technique also records a unique skill.

A thousand people, a thousand faces!

By cultivating the first level of the Cloud Dragon Body Refining Technique, one can change their height, weight, appearance, voice, etc., according to the martial artist's will...

Du Daniu clearly took advantage of this to impersonate Brother A Niu and infiltrate the canal gang for half a year.

Even someone as powerful as Li Changqing never noticed anything unusual.

It is not hard to see just how amazing this technique is.

"The world is full of wonders. The martial arts techniques of this world are truly not to be underestimated. I wonder what the leader has obtained that has attracted the attention of such a figure?"
