Longevity: Start From The Entry Of Luck

Chapter 16: Late Night Encounter

On this day, all major forces in Lin'an City received invitations from Jiang Yuan.

Shenwei Martial Hall.

A middle-aged man who appeared fat but incredibly strong looked at the invitation in his hand and angrily shouted, "We must attend! This brat has such audacity!"

"Master, please don't get angry. It's not worth it to let this ignorant brat affect your health," said one of his disciples.

"Yes, Master! Even when Jiang Zhenyuan was alive, he didn't have the qualifications to speak to you like this. Jiang Yuan is truly ignorant. If no one attends after three days, let's see where he can put his face!" said the two disciples beside him, trying to persuade him.

"Old man? Am I old?"

"Not old! Not old! How could Master be old? Master, you are like the midday sun, reaching its zenith."

At this moment, the middle-aged man stroked his chin and pondered, "He wants me to attend, so I will give him face and go to Zhenyuan Escort Agency. But not in three days. It will be tonight. I hope he won't regret it then."

"Master, are you thinking...?"

"You guessed right. I want Jiang Zhenyuan's ultimate skill, the Wind and Thunder Sword Technique."

His eyes were filled with longing. "Do you think Jiang Zhenyuan was so strong just because he was at the Eighth Stage of Body Tempering?"

"Master, are you saying it's because of the Wind and Thunder Sword Technique?"

"Yes! It's because of the Wind and Thunder Sword Technique. It is an unparalleled sword technique."

There was a hint of excitement in his eyes. "The origin of the Wind and Thunder Sword Technique is known by only a few, and I am one of them. It was given to him by a celestial woman. In terms of profoundness, it far surpasses my Divine Power Staff Technique."

The two disciples looked incredulous. "A celestial woman? You mean the legendary immortal?"

The middle-aged man nodded. "Exactly!"

He continued, "You don't know, but he almost ascended to the heavens because of that woman. When he was young, he had an exceptional appearance. Every woman in Lin'an City was infatuated with him, yearning for him day and night."

"Even that celestial woman almost married him."

The two disciples gasped in shock.

"No wonder Jiang Zhenyuan is so powerful! He's actually a kept man!"

Just then, the middle-aged man suddenly said, "By the way, have you seen your junior brother?"

"No!" The two disciples shook their heads in unison.

"That's strange! Jiang Yuan and his group have already returned safely. Where could your junior brother have gone?"

He looked puzzled.

"Master... do you think it's possible..."

He shook his head. "Not very likely! Your junior brother is a skilled practitioner at the Sixth Stage of Body Tempering, just one step away from the Seventh Stage of Blood Exchange. Unless he provokes Gu Mo, how could he bring disaster upon himself?"

Then he said, "Forget about him! The key now is the Wind and Thunder Sword Technique. If I obtain it, perhaps I will have a chance to advance further."

Night fell.

Jiang Yuan sat cross-legged in his bedroom.

He exerted all his effort to transport and refine the residual medicinal power in his body.

At this moment, everything was silent, and his mind was clear.

He could feel the gradual changes happening in his bone marrow, which surprised him.

The progress was faster than he had expected.

He originally thought it would take three to five days, but now it seemed that it would only take two days at most to successfully refine his marrow and then enter the Seventh Stage of Body Tempering to begin the Blood Exchange.

Just then, Jiang Yuan slowly opened his eyes and said, "Ignorant fool!"

Since his physical constitution had been enhanced, all his organs had undergone qualitative changes, and his senses had become far superior to an ordinary person's.

At this moment, he could hear even the slightest sound in the courtyard.

He pushed open the door, feeling somewhat annoyed. He had been immersed in the pleasure of improving his strength.

Every minute and every second, he could keenly feel the progress of his marrow refinement.

To be interrupted suddenly, how could he not feel angry?

Gu Mo appeared in Jiang Yuan's line of sight, holding a long sword.

"Young master!"

Jiang Yuan slightly raised his eyebrows and looked up at the artificial mountain path in the distance. "Come out! Since you're here, why hide from a junior? Aren't you afraid of losing face?"

"You arrogant brat, your father wasn't as arrogant in front of me."

A middle-aged man walked out from behind the artificial mountain, his face calm and composed.

He was a bit confused at the moment, wondering how this kid could have discovered him as soon as he entered the Zhenyuan Escort Agency. But how was that possible? It was too unreasonable! He was at such a distance, and he had just been in his bedroom. How could this kid have noticed him?

Thinking of this, he smiled inwardly.

No rush, he would capture him later and slowly get the answers.

At this moment, his two disciples also walked out from behind him.

[Name]: Li Hao

[Cultivation]: Eighth level of Body Tempering

[Innate Luck]: Proficient in staff techniques (white), insatiable appetite (white), strong bones (white)

[Proficient in staff techniques]: Has a good talent in staff techniques.

[Insatiable appetite]: Has an astonishing appetite, can eat a lot, and has a digestion speed far beyond ordinary people.

[Strong bones]: Has naturally thicker and harder bones than ordinary people.

Jiang Yuan casually glanced at the two disciples behind him, both at the seventh level of Body Tempering. Their innate luck was also mediocre, indicating that their future achievements would be limited without great opportunities.

"The master of the Divine Might Hall, Li Hao?"

"That's right! It's me!" Li Hao laughed.

"Are you here today to pay respects to my father?"

Upon hearing Jiang Yuan's words, one of his disciples burst into laughter. "Jiang Yuan, should we say you're foolish or naive?"

The other person laughed, "I think it's both foolish and naive! Just hand over the Wind and Thunder Sword Technique that has been passed down in your family, and maybe you'll suffer a little less."

Jiang Yuan shook his head. "You know nothing about the Wind and Thunder Sword Technique!"

"Gu Mo, take action!"

"Yes, young master!"

As soon as the words fell, a crisp sound of swords rang out.

"Heh, it seems that you're relying on him! Quick Blade Gu Mo is indeed impressive, but unfortunately, he has encountered me. Let me personally crush your hopes."

Li Hao said, "Big Wu, Little Wu, attack together! Today is the time to test your skills. Gu Mo is enough to be your stepping stone. Don't embarrass me!"

"Yes, master!"

The two of them responded in unison, wielding a Divine Might staff each and rushing towards Gu Mo.

Just then.

Li Hao felt an extremely sharp aura emanating from Gu Mo's body, and his expression suddenly froze.

"Something's not right! Both of you, retreat!"

As he spoke, he had already drawn the Divine Might staff from his back and charged forward.

In the next moment.

"Ah!"

Two screams came from the front.

So powerful!

Li Hao's pupils dilated, feeling anxious in his heart.

No wonder Jiang Yuan dared to be so arrogant. It turned out that the true terror of Quick Blade Gu Mo lay in his sword technique.

In Li Hao's eyes, Gu Mo's swordsmanship was unmatched in the entire Lin'an City.

The sharp aura made his scalp tingle.
