Martial Arts, the Little Master of the Ancient Tomb, Becomes Stronger When You Drink

3: Chapter 3 New Player Gift Pack[Congratulations, Host. You have obtained the Longevity Body. Would you like to fuse?]

[Congratulations, Host. You have obtained the ’Profound Art’. Would you like to fuse?]

[Congratulations, Host. You have obtained the purple gold jade gourd. It has been placed in your system space.]

[Congratulations, Host. You have obtained an identity pendant. It has been placed in your system space.]

Looking at the four rewards before him, Su Xuan felt it was somewhat unreal.

Was this the Newcomer’s Grand Gift Pack? So luxurious!

Su Xuan’s gaze fell upon the first reward.

[Longevity Body: Grants immortality. Its longevity blood can serve as a Spirit Medicine for eternal youth and immortality; or, at the host’s will, become the world’s most sinister poison, causing instant death.]

[Would you like to fuse?]

With an excited heart, Su Xuan tried speaking with his mind, ’Fuse.’

In the next moment, the Longevity Body transformed into a stream of golden light and drilled into Su Xuan’s body.

Su Xuan felt the bones and flesh within his body undergoing a qualitative transformation.

There was no discomfort at all. His entire body felt warm and cozy, as if lying on a cloud. So comfortable.

In no time at all, the Fusion was complete.

Feeling the changes in his body, a faint smile spread across Su Xuan’s chubby little face.

After calming his excited mood, Su Xuan’s gaze fell upon the second reward, the ’Profound Art’.

[’Profound Art’: Merely the world’s most ordinary Cultivation Technique, yet it can fuse with all other techniques in the world, incorporating their characteristics and increasing the purity of Internal Energy.]

[Would you like to fuse?]

Although he didn’t yet know what world he had transmigrated into, just based on this ’Profound Art’ that could fuse all techniques in the world...

As long as he didn’t seek death, his future achievements would definitely be nothing to scoff at.

’Fuse.’

As soon as the words were spoken, the ’Profound Art’ also transformed into a stream of light and drilled into Su Xuan’s body.

It slowly circulated around the Meridians throughout his body, finally returning to the Dantian.

[Ding, Fusion successful. Congratulations, Host. The ’Profound Art’ has reached the Initiate stage.]

(Cultivation Technique stages: Initiate → Minor Achievement → Major Achievement → Perfection)

He didn’t feel much, probably because the ’Profound Art’ was inherently the most ordinary technique and hadn’t fused with any other techniques yet.

That wasn’t a problem. There was plenty of time!

After all, he was still an unborn baby.

There were still two more rewards.

[purple gold jade gourd: Contains a hidden space capable of simultaneously storing multiple types of liquor, with instant switching.]

This wine gourd was good. His System’s function was to increase Internal Energy by drinking wine.

To also be given a wine gourd... one had to admit, this System was quite considerate.

The last item seemed useless—just a wooden plaque carved with his name, ’Su Xuan’.

...

”Mmm...”

”Master...”

”It’s fine. It’s probably just the little one being restless again!”

Mu Tingxue gently stroked her prominently swollen belly, a faint smile on her face.

”Master, don’t listen to that quack doctor’s nonsense. How could you possibly...”

Before Li Mochou could finish, Mu Tingxue lightly waved her hand to interrupt.

Mu Tingxue knew very well that she had never been intimate with any man in her life.

But pregnant she was; there was no refuting that.

It must be related to that purple-gold light, but it didn’t matter anymore.

After the recent upheaval, Mu Tingxue had come to terms with it.

Since it had entered her belly, it was her child.

”But this...”

Although Li Mochou said this, she also harbored doubts in her heart.

After all, the belly was so big now.

But just yesterday, Master was perfectly fine. How could today...

Looking at her Master’s hugely swollen belly, Li Mochou also began to question her understanding of life.

Could the books be wrong? Did getting pregnant and having a child not require a man?!

”Mochou, regarding today’s events, you must remember not to tell your Grandmaster...”

”Not to tell me what?”

Before Mu Tingxue could finish, an extremely icy voice came from the doorway.

There, at the entrance, stood a woman who had appeared at some unknown time.

A plain white dress wrapped around her graceful, curvaceous figure. Perhaps due to her cultivation, the woman appeared to be only in her thirties.

Her charm remained, the picture of mature ripeness.

At this moment, her face was like frost, her beautiful eyes filled with fury, fixed intently on Mu Tingxue on the bed.

Seeing the newcomer, Li Mochou hurried forward two steps and knelt. ”Greetings, Grandmaster!”

Lin Chaoying paid no heed to Li Mochou, her gaze still on Mu Tingxue.

”Young Miss, please let me explain...”

”What is there left to explain?!” Lin Chaoying’s tone was icy to the extreme.

”Xue’er, you’ve done well! I secluded myself for a year, and your belly is big? If I secluded myself a while longer, would you have a child already?!”

The last few words were uttered with particularly chilling severity and weight.

As if she wanted to vent all the fury in her heart.

”Young Miss, please listen to me...”

”Silence! How dare you speak? Have you forgotten the rules of our Ancient Tomb Sect?!”

”Young Miss, please listen...”

”Enough. You need say no more. For the sake of our decades of shared history, leave. From now on, you are forbidden to call yourself a member of my Ancient Tomb Sect...”

Lin Chaoying flicked her sleeve, turning her back, utterly heartless.

Hearing this, Mu Tingxue could no longer remain seated. Struggling with her weakened body, she got down from the bed.

”Young Miss, let me explain. It’s truly not what you think...”

Seeing her Master about to be expelled from the Ancient Tomb, Li Mochou was shocked.

”Grandmaster, it’s really not what you think! My Master isn’t pregnant, she’s... she’s...”

Li Mochou was sweating profusely in her anxiety, her eyes darting about. ”She’s bloated from drinking wine! Yes, that’s it! Bloated from wine!”

As she spoke, Li Mochou pointed to the wine pot that had just been brought in, her face a picture of ’earnestness’.

”Enough! If you speak another word in her defense, you can get out of the Ancient Tomb too!”

Lin Chaoying’s jade-like hands clenched tightly. She hated men most in her life. Mu Tingxue had served her for decades.

Their relationship was like sisters, like Master and disciple. Now, not only had Mu Tingxue committed such a filthy act, but she was also colluding with her disciple to deceive her!

And with such a clumsy excuse at that! Did they really think she had grown senile?!

Seeing Lin Chaoying so resolute, Mu Tingxue had no other choice. Pressing her lips together, a flush of shame gradually rose on her cheeks.

”Young Miss, I am pregnant. But I can prove myself. I, Mu Tingxue, have absolutely never had relations with any man in my entire life!”

Lin Chaoying remained with her back turned to the two, unmoved.

Get pregnant without relations with a man? Who did they think they were fooling?!

Seeing this, Mu Tingxue’s jade hand made a pulling motion to the side.

*Whoosh*

The longsword hanging on the wall instantly flew into Mu Tingxue’s hand.

Mu Tingxue flipped her jade hand, pressing the sword against her own neck.

”Master!!” Li Mochou cried out in horror, tears bursting from her eyes. She scrambled on her knees to Lin Chaoying’s side, grabbing her sleeve, sobbing loudly,

”Grandmaster, my Master truly hasn’t been with a man. She was fine yesterday, and today she’s like this... Waaah...”

With things having reached this point, Lin Chaoying finally turned around. Seeing Mu Tingxue’s expression was one of utmost seriousness, not like a lie, she sighed.

”Fine. I’ll give you one more chance. If you cannot prove your innocence...”

”If I cannot prove myself, I will end my own life, and never tarnish the rules of our Ancient Tomb Sect!”

”Good. Prove it then.”

Mu Tingxue looked at Li Mochou. ”Mochou, you go out first.”

”Master...”

After Li Mochou left the tomb chamber, Mu Tingxue slowly began to undo her dress.

*Rustle*

A moment later, Lin Chaoying’s eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the spot of bright crimson on her pale, slender finger.

”How is this possible?!”
