Indestructible Body Of Vajra Of The Village Leader

Jiang Dali had planned to master the One Yang Finger within seven days on his return journey from Kunlun, thanks to the effect of the Ice Soul Jade Stone. However, the sudden attack by Tyrant Hall disrupted his plans.

Now, if he wanted to directly master the One Yang Finger, which had already reached a 14% proficiency level, he would need to expend 3440 Potential Points.

To raise the Heavenly Rank Absolute Skill, the Nine Yang Divine Skill, from the first realm to the second with Initial Insight would also require 10000 Cultivation Points and 16000 Potential Points.

Such expenditure would completely deplete the Cultivation and Potential Points he had harvested this time.

Nevertheless, whether it was mastering the One Yang Finger or continuing to enhance the Nine Yang Divine Skill, his combat power would increase greatly, far surpassing a mere realm breakthrough.

As Jiang Dali was weighing his options in his mind,

Suddenly, a clear voice tinged with a touch of worldly indifference echoed from far along the mountain path.

”What rich fragrance of wine! I didn’t expect my arrival to be so timely. I wonder if the Black Wind Village Chief would be so kind as to share a drink with me, Lu Xiaofeng...”

At first, the voice sounded distant.

But in the next instant, it was as if it rang right beside his ear, accompanied by a rapidly approaching figure dressed in blue.

”Hmm? Lu Xiaofeng!”

Jiang Dali’s eyes sparkled, and he quickly set down his wine cup to look towards the newcomer.

The surrounding mountain bandits and Players were also stirred with surprise.

Especially the Players, all of whom were extremely excited, their eyes eagerly following the gracefully moving and handsome man, Lu Xiaofeng, as he ascended the mountain and whispering discussions buzzed among them.

”Wow! It’s Lu Xiaofeng from the official ancient novels! He’s the one who is as famous as Zhang Wuji, Duan Zhengchun, and Wei Xiaobao. Quick, show some respect!”

...

”This guy is too handsome; he’s almost threatening my good looks.”

...

”Sob! How can someone be so good-looking? I feel like my love for the village chief is about to be divided.”

These professional Players had already become familiar with Mixed Martial Arts World through official data excavations.

They knew the martial arts of various sects, heroes and significant figures in the Martial World, and the locations of Divine Weapons among other things.

Although most Players couldn’t possibly know most of the plot or the locations of hidden treasures in the Martial World, they did know of some famous Martial World people and Divine Skills.

Therefore, Players were naturally very familiar with Lu Xiaofeng, a hero whose name was known throughout the land and knew of many of his renowned deeds.

Seeing such a well-known NPC suddenly appearing in Black Wind Mountain Village, the Players’ first reaction was not fear but sheer excitement.

Had it not been for their respect for the village chief, some would have eagerly rushed forward to greet him in a Player’s typical forward manner.

”My Black Wind Village has always been hospitable. A friend’s visit is always welcomed with wine, especially when a famed hero like Lu Xiaofeng graces us with his presence.”

Jiang Dali watched Lu Xiaofeng approaching with poise, seemingly oblivious to the covetous bandits around him, and chuckled calmly, ”Someone, set a seat for Hero Lu, and bring out the finest Floral Carving that this village chief has treasured for many years, to entertain our distinguished guest!”

Lu Xiaofeng looked at Jiang Dali in surprise, his gaze resting with appreciation on his robust and muscular physique, and inwardly praised his good external power.

He smiled and leapt to his seat, ”Since the village chief is so hospitable, it would be rude of me, Lu Xiaofeng, to refuse.

It seems the village chief is a very hospitable and hearty person. With this in mind, we can drink and chat to our heart’s content...”

”Word has it, Hero Lu, that you’re a free spirit, a lover with reserved affections everywhere, living quite the joyous life. It’s a pity that I don’t have any beauties here; otherwise, that would suit your taste perfectly.”

Jiang Dali smiled, choosing to ignore the yearning looks from many female Players in the distance.

”Hahaha, I didn’t expect to meet a friend who understands me so well today. To that remark alone, I must drink heartily.”

Lu Xiaofeng laughed heartily, took the Floral Carving brought by the bandits, popped it open, sniffed, and his eyes brightened as he lifted the bottle and took a swig.

”Indeed, this is good wine!”

”Good wine goes with a good story.”

Jiang Dali toyed with his wine cup. ”I wonder what stories you bring with you to my Black Wind Village this time, Hero Lu?”

Lu Xiaofeng sighed, ”Black Wind Village Chief, you indeed are an interesting friend. Unfortunately, the story I bring today might not be to your liking.

I’ve come for some Abnormal People you’ve captured who claim to be from Tyrant Hall.”

Jiang Dali spoke calmly, ”I’m afraid you’re not here mainly for them, but rather for Qingyi Building.”

Lu Xiaofeng didn’t seem surprised and nodded honestly, ”Indeed, I came for Qingyi Building. There’s a Qingyi Building stronghold about sixty li from here.

Sadly, someone beat me to it and destroyed the stronghold.

The person I’m looking for is now untraceable, and these Abnormal People from Tyrant Hall seem to know whereabouts of that person...”

Jiang Dali’s mind stirred as a message popped up on his system panel.

”You have triggered the quest ’Help Lu Xiaofeng’

Quest Details: Lu Xiaofeng appears to be looking for the manager of the Qingyi Building stronghold near Mengyin County; the clues might be with the Abnormal People from Tyrant Hall.

Quest Requirements: Release all of the Abnormal People from Tyrant Hall to Lu Xiaofeng, help Lu Xiaofeng to find the manager of the Qingyi Building stronghold.

Quest Reward: +100 Favourability with Lu Xiaofeng, +500 Cultivation Points, +500 Potential Points, +200 reputation in the martial world.”

”It seems like it wasn’t Lu Xiaofeng who destroyed the Qingyi Building stronghold, then why did someone send me information saying it was Lu Xiaofeng who destroyed it?

Could someone be impersonating Lu Xiaofeng? And to what purpose?”

Jiang Dali had these thoughts and suddenly an inspiration came to him, and he felt he had some answers.

But for now, the main thing was to deal with Lu Xiaofeng.

Helping Lu Xiaofeng wasn’t out of the question for him.

However, to release all of Tyrant Hall’s people to Lu Xiaofeng as the quest required – that was impossible.

To do so would not only diminish his authority in the village but also give Tyrant Hall too much of an advantage.

Moreover, his character was not one to show weakness in the face of power.

Immediately, Jiang Dali drained his cup and stood up, ”I’ve long heard that Hero Lu has quite the charm.

Both friends and foes, both in the Black and White, may sit and drink with you.

But you are also known to meddle in affairs, hence making many enemies and often being ambushed.

I won’t ambush you, but to think a few words would have me hand over my enemies to you, that’s impossible.

In the Martial World, we abide by the rule that actions speak louder than words. I wonder, Hero Lu, would you dare to wager with me?”
