Text-based martial arts: A nighttime rendezvous with the gang leader's wife in a dilapidated te

Chen Xuan did not sleep that night.

No, to be precise, he didn't sleep all day.

This was the first time he had ever witnessed the darkness of the game.

There was no other way; the chance encounter with the "mysterious offering" in the dilapidated temple required arriving at Chenshi (7-9 AM).

This time is not early. Whether in the game or in reality, it is already bright outside at 7 o'clock in the morning.

But the roads are just too difficult to travel!

The last time Chen Xuan emerged from this awful spawn point, it took him a whole morning, and that was with the Purple Gold River by his side.

Nowadays, the Zijin River flows upstream and is much slower, and going up the mountain will naturally take more time. Therefore, Chen Xuan made preparations and set off from Jinling an hour and a half earlier, which is three hours earlier!

In this way, he only controlled his character to rest for less than an hour and a half at midnight.

He then spent the rest of the night cultivating.

In the first half of the night, under the pretext of fishing, I went to East Lake again to practice the Canglan Dinghai Stake.

After you've mastered this basic stance training, the speed of practice does indeed decrease considerably.

It took more than two hours, with the help of the "Fish Leaping Over the Dragon Gate Technique," to increase the experience progress by 25%.

Moreover, it does not help or change the improvement of the body refinement realm in the slightest.

However, for the sake of this serendipitous encounter with the hidden gem of Canglan, Chen Xuan had to give it a try no matter what.

The rest of the time was mainly spent studying the inner and outer classics and practicing the Five Animal Frolics.

As for the cultivation of the "Spring Breeze and Rain Needle", Chen Xuan did not continue it.

Now, relying on potential points, I've reached the third level, which is enough.

As Cao Qing said, for martial artists, realm is still the most important factor.

The same applies to Chen Xuan. In terms of medical skills, he can now complete the "White-haired Scholar" manual, not to mention the Five Animal Frolics, which is a real boost to his attribute points.

Time was spent in this kind of cultivation.

Chen Xuan has already begun to experience the benefits of the "Shennong withered tree stump".

Putting everything else aside, my physical recovery is about 50% faster than before.

This means that whether you are training while the computer is AFK or training on your own, the speed will be much faster than recovering stamina!

For Chen Xuan, who aspires to become a hardcore player in "Martial Arts," this effect is like a godsend.

Moreover, this is only the first level. In the future, the recovery speed will probably be even faster. It may even be possible to make consumption and recovery proportional, so that physical strength is inexhaustible!

Harboring such a beautiful dream.

Before dawn, Chen Xuan had already taken the incense and candles he had bought and headed towards the dilapidated temple he had visited half a month earlier.

Location: No. 3, Zijinshan Road, East of Nanjing City

[Time: 6:00 AM, the third quarter of the Mao hour on the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the fourth year of Tianwu]

This is where you were born.

[This is also where martial arts began.]

You may never forget this place!

[Because here, you met Long Qingyu, gaining the most important prerequisite for venturing into the martial world.]

[For the past two weeks, you've constantly wondered what you would be like now if you hadn't chosen this place as your birthplace.]

Is he still crippled? Or has he already died in some unknown corner?

However, there are no "what ifs" in this world. Regardless, you've reached this point, and after half a month, it's triggered here again!

[You used your power to defy fate, adjusting your now-unprecedented attributes to focus on strength and agility.]

[Your speed is much faster than it was two weeks ago, and you no longer need to rest after every three steps.]

However, the mountain path uphill was ultimately more difficult than the path downhill. It took you more than an hour to finally see that familiar dilapidated temple again.

In the distance, the sky was already showing the first light of dawn, and the edge of a red sun was emerging from the horizon.

Bathed in sunlight, you see for the first time the entirety of this dilapidated and somewhat drafty temple.

The last storm caused a small leak in one corner of the dilapidated temple, but it didn't cause too much damage.

The weather was sunny, and you secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

With mixed feelings of excitement and uncertainty, you entered the dilapidated temple.

The temple remained the same: dilapidated and shabby.

Only the earth god statue atop the incense table still stands there.

Looking at the statue of the local earth god, you breathed a slight sigh of relief. Instead of immediately offering incense, you waited for time to pass slowly.

Finally, with just a little while left before Chen Shi (7-9 AM), you got into position, carefully took out the incense and candles from your backpack, and lit them.

The wisps of smoke rising from the temple added an indescribable sense of divinity to the dilapidated structure.

You respectfully placed the incense sticks and candles into the incense burner, which was covered in bird droppings.

[Then, partly out of sincerity and partly out of ulterior motives, she knelt before the incense table.]

[While feigning reverence and bowing, one secretly anticipates a miraculous encounter!]

What an amazing adventure at the Earth-level!

Even with such a powerful ability to defy fate, Chen Xuan's only Earth-level fortuitous encounter in the past half month was actually triggered by Long Qingyu's random encounter!

This is enough to prove the value and rarity of this extraordinary encounter at the prefecture level.

What will this extraordinary encounter in this desolate mountain temple bring me?

Clearly, Chen Xuan didn't know what he was given, but he was certain that the person who could trigger such a fortuitous encounter must be a remarkable figure in the martial arts world.

Perhaps he is some reclusive master...

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan became even more excited. Looking at the text displayed on the screen, he waited for time to pass, just like his counterpart in the game.

[After you've been kneeling on this tattered prayer mat for a full hundred breaths, and the burning incense and candles are already halfway burned,]

Finally, you heard a peculiar voice coming from outside the dilapidated temple.

It wasn't the sound of footsteps you were expecting, nor the neighing of a horse.

Instead, it was a strange sound of wind, mixed with the rustling of branches and leaves being shaken.

What is this?

You were somewhat confused, but before you could think for long, you heard a deep, muffled sound.

It was as if something had fallen from the sky to the ground.

Just as you were about to turn around, you heard a voice that also sounded puzzled:

【"Chirp chirp chirp?"】

You were startled, turned your head, and finally recognized the person who had arrived.

However, what you never expected was that what appeared before you wasn't a reclusive master or a martial arts hero, but a... monkey?
