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

"Old dog, Viper Gang, I'll wipe you out sooner or later!"

"call……"

Chen Xuan was startled awake from his sleep.

Looking at the sky outside, which had once again turned completely dark, he realized how long he had been asleep.

This dream was also the longest he had ever experienced.

After all, he didn't sleep for half a day yesterday, which is equivalent to staying up for two days and one night.

Starting with the Shennong withered tree stump as the first step, then entering the Monkey King's Wonderland on the fifteenth of August the next day, followed by the dream of the divine monkey wielding a staff, and the subsequent parting with Cao Qing upon returning,

Finally, there was last night's life-or-death escape.

All of these scenes flashed through his mind.

I thought of that vaguely visible Deacon Wang from the Viper Gang in the darkness.

Chen Xuan angrily slammed his fist on the headboard.

This was the first time he had been so disheveled since he entered the martial arts world. Before, even when facing Old Cao, there were reasons for it. It was nothing like this.

However, thinking about the gains, Chen Xuan immediately relaxed.

Although he lost the key that seemed to be the most valuable, it was of great importance, and his rash involvement would only bring him trouble.

Speaking of which, after leaving the Qinhuai River last night, he didn't rush to rest. Instead, he went to the outskirts of the city via the Qinhuai River and buried all the calligraphy, paintings, jade artifacts, and other things that were difficult to dispose of.

Finally, after learning that "Snake Tongue Fist" technique, he burned the manual along with his night clothes before returning to the pharmacy.

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan's tense mood immediately relaxed, and when he thought of the huge sum of money in his bag again, Chen Xuan became even more tempted.

If before he had considered hiring people to help him through the mysterious death ordeal, Chen Xuan, after experiencing the dangers of the martial world for the past two weeks, had completely lost that desire.

If we really compare them, the lower limit for players and NPCs won't be much higher.

He possessed numerous fortuitous encounters, including Earth-level stance training and Profound-level acupuncture techniques. The value of these items goes without saying; even the hundreds of taels of silver he received were a substantial sum.

Who knows what kind of person the hired protector will be?

Although the Martial Arts Bureau exists now, it currently has no way to completely control the moral conduct of players within the martial arts world, right?

It's more important to become strong yourself than to rely on others.

However, being powerful does not mean that one cannot use this money.

On the contrary, Chen Xuan risked danger to take the money precisely to make himself stronger.

Otherwise, if it were only for cultivation, the ten taels of gold that Old Cao gave him last night would actually be enough for Shennong's cultivation on the withered tree stump.

With that thought in mind, Chen Xuan got up, washed his face, and brought back the takeout he had bought earlier, which had already gone cold. While eating, he opened the martial arts forum.

This time, he finally posted his first post on this martial arts forum in his own name!

Looking to purchase items, martial arts skills, and special techniques that can increase all attributes in the Jiangdong region (preferably within Danyang County). No restrictions on attribute increase conditions or effects. Payment can be made in cash or in-game with silver. Please contact us via private message to discuss the transaction method.

That's right.

This was Chen Xuan's most important purpose in obtaining the silver.

Even though he possesses the ability to defy fate, he is still just a human being. He believes that in this world of martial arts, he is definitely not the only one who can encounter all sorts of extraordinary adventures.

Those treasures that increase attributes, such as the Golden Money Coin or the Five Animal Frolics, cannot be improved under certain attribute limitations.

It's useless to these people, and even to most people.

However, it's different for Chen Xuan. With his attributes freely adjustable, he can be certain that all these items are usable by him!

Although most items that increase attributes only work once, accumulating them gradually is enough to turn Chen Xuan into a genuine 'normal person'.

He's had enough of this kind of life where he's only good at one thing and has a disability in another!

Therefore, Chen Xuan violated his own principle of "being a person" for the first time, which is to never spend money on games!

However, he still succumbed to the challenge of "Martial Arts".

You absolutely have to spend money to survive!

That's exhausting!

However, as the number of players in the martial arts world has increased, the refresh frequency and speed of the posts in the martial arts world have indeed increased significantly compared to when Chen Xuan first saw them.

Chen Xuan's acquisition post wasn't particularly noteworthy, so it was quickly lost among the others.

Fortunately, Chen Xuan did not expect to see results in a short period of time.

In martial arts, time is completely equal to reality, and it is not a "game" that can be mastered overnight.

Having thought this through, Chen Xuan wasn't in a hurry to pay attention. He glanced at today's trending posts and, finding nothing of interest, finished his takeout and returned to his martial arts practice.

Welcome back to the world of martial arts.

Location: Backyard of Shen's Pharmacy, Eastern Suburbs of Jinling City.

[Time: 9:00 AM, the 16th day of the 8th month of the 4th year of Tianwu]

That night, you didn't even review your medical books or martial arts; that night, you slept exceptionally soundly.

So, when you wake up, you find the sun is already high in the sky.

Thinking back to what happened last night, you still feel a lingering fear.

However, thankfully, the final outcome was a close call.

On the first day Cao Qing left, you didn't waste any time.

Last night's experience has made you realize once again that in this world, the most important thing is to constantly improve your own strength.

Fortunately, you have made the most thorough and sufficient preparations for your rapid improvement in strength.

You took out the prescription for the Strengthening and Nourishing Decoction that Cao Qing had given you earlier, and with your own silver, went to the main hall of the pharmacy.

However, just as you were dressed and entered the shop's lobby, a sudden knock came from the previously closed door.

[Customers? You know, although the pharmacy has been open these past two days, it's not really a business; there haven't been any customers at all.]

However, after calling out "Coming!", you immediately opened the shop door.

However, what you never expected was that the figure that appeared upon opening the shop door would make your pupils shrink sharply.

Shen Fu's smiling eyes swept over you, sizing you up.

"Oh, Young Master Chen, you've finally opened the door! This old servant has been waiting here for almost half an hour..."

You forced a composed expression onto your face, but inside, a storm was raging.

[Have I... been exposed?]
