The Lingyun Grotto was a maze of twists and turns, with countless branching paths that could easily lead one astray. But for Jiang Li, it was no problem at all.
After a while, he led Nie Feng into a secret chamber.
"These are the Mystic Turtle True Skill and the Ten Strong Martial Skills, left behind by Wu Wudi, a peerless master from a hundred years ago. If you can learn them, killing Xiongba will be a piece of cake!"
Jiang Li pointed at the densely packed patterns on the stone wall.
At the same time, his mental power quickly memorized the Mystic Turtle True Skill and the Ten Strong Martial Skills.
Huang Rong and the other two women were also staring intently at the techniques on the stone wall.
"Thank you, young hero. May I ask your name? I, Nie Feng, will repay this kindness!"
Just one look, and Nie Feng realized these martial skills were incredibly profound, far surpassing the Proud Cold Six Techniques and Wind God Leg in power.
"Such peerless divine skills are hidden within the Lingyun Grotto!"
While shocked, Nie Feng felt even more grateful to Jiang Li.
With Jiang Li's terrifying abilities, even if he had forcefully taken the Peerless Sword, Nie Feng would have been helpless.
He hadn't expected Jiang Li to be so trustworthy, actually passing on a world-shaking martial skill!
"My name is Jiang Li!"
"It was just an equal trade. There's no need for any repayment!"
"Nie Feng, we may meet again!"
"If you want to kill Xiongba, you'll need to team up with Bu Jingyun. The Fengyun Combination, Maha Boundless."
With Jiang Li's current level, it naturally wouldn't take him long to memorize the Mystic Turtle True Skill and the Ten Strong Martial Skills.
In just the time it took to speak, he had already recorded the Mystic Turtle True Skill and the Ten Strong Martial Skills.
After giving Nie Feng another pointer, Jiang Li turned and left with Huang Rong and Yaoyue.
"Fengyun Combination… Brother Bu, is it?"
Nie Feng's heart skipped a beat.
Although he had hidden himself, he knew that Xiongba also wanted to kill Bu Jingyun.
The impression Jiang Li gave him was simply too profound and unfathomable.
Nie Feng took Jiang Li's casual words very seriously.
"What a mysterious group of people. The jianghu is truly full of hidden talent!"
He looked at the receding figures of Jiang Li, Huang Rong, and the other person, with a face full of emotion.
After the three of them disappeared completely from sight, Nie Feng began to gather his thoughts and focus on comprehending the Mystic Turtle True Skill!
"Jiang Li, aren't we leaving? Is there something else good in this Lingyun Grotto?"
After leaving Nie Feng, Yaoyue noticed that the direction Jiang Li was heading wasn't out of the Lingyun Grotto, but deeper inside.
Jiang Li replied, "There are indeed other good things here!"
"Fire burns the Lingyun Grotto, and water floods the Buddha's knees!"
"Within this Lingyun Grotto dwells an ancient divine beast, the Fire Qilin!"
"This Fire Qilin is a divine beast of a similar level to the Fire Phoenix, which could grant immortality."
"Although the Fire Qilin's blood cannot grant immortality like the Phoenix's essence, it possesses various incredible effects!"
"Furthermore, within this Lingyun Grotto, due to the Fire Qilin's presence, there is a treasure called the Blood Bodhi!"
"This Blood Bodhi can enhance one's cultivation!"
Huang Rong and Yaoyue's eyes lit up.
The divine beast Fire Qilin; they certainly wanted to see it.
The Blood Bodhi was something they absolutely couldn't miss.
"Hehe… I'll go to the chat group first and tell them about Nie Feng learning the Mystic Turtle True Skill, to scare Xiongba!"
Huang Rong's eyes suddenly darted around.
The clever and mischievous Huang Rong had thought of something fun.
"Do as you like!"
Jiang Li said indifferently.
[Peach Blossom Island Little Chef: Guess who we met during our travels?]
Huang Rong suddenly appeared in the chat group.
Her words immediately piqued everyone's curiosity.
[Hundred-year-old Taoist of Wudang: Who did you meet?]
[Long Bo: Could it be another character even more stunning than the Sword Saint?]
[Zixia Gentleman's Sword: Could it be the number one beauty in the Wind and Cloud world? I'm just saying, we need to keep an eye on Jiang Li!]
[Little Cook of Peach Blossom Island: Neither. We met Nie Feng, a disciple of Xiongba!]
Nie Feng?
Xiongba, who was secretly watching, felt a stir in his heart.
He hadn't had any news of Nie Feng for a long time. It was a good thing to hear news of Nie Feng from Huang Rong's mouth.
It would be even better if he knew where they met Nie Feng.
[Little Flying Knife: Where did you meet him? I'm also very curious about this Nie Feng.]
[Zombie Taoist: What else?]
[Peach Blossom Island Little Chef: This Nie Feng's luck is too good! When we met him, he had just discovered martial arts left behind by a senior master!
Jiang Li said that these martial arts are called the Mystic Turtle True Skill and the Ten Strong Martial Skills. They were left by Wu Wudi, the most amazing master in the Fengyun world a hundred years ago.
It's said that this master, using these two martial arts, almost killed an old monster in this world who had lived for over two thousand years.
This time Xiongba is done for. Once Nie Feng masters them, no one will be able to save Xiongba!]
[Heaven and Earth, Boundless Universe: Holy shit, that's terrifying! Living for over two thousand years, even longer than the Black Mountain Old Demon!]
[Wudang Centenarian Taoist: This luck is too terrifying. He actually found such martial arts!]
[Zombie Taoist: He really is destined to kill Xiongba. Xiongba has the chat group, and they have martial arts that almost killed a two-thousand-year-old monster!]
[Purple Mist Gentleman Sword: Xiongba is really finished. It shouldn't be long before he's completely offline!]
[Wang Chao: What a freak! He almost killed a two-thousand-year-old monster. Beating Xiongba shouldn't be difficult!]
After saying this, Huang Rong quickly exited the chat group.
Her mischievous side was acting up.
Xiongba was probably scared to pee his pants right now.
And in fact, it was almost the case.
At Tianxia Hui, Xiongba's expression changed drastically, revealing a look of terror.
The sheer audacity of nearly taking out a two-thousand-year-old monster sent a chill down his spine.
A two-thousand-year-old monster, even if it was trash, would still be stronger than Zhang Sanfeng and the others, the upper limit was simply unpredictable.
Such an old monster almost got killed, so it wouldn't be simple for Xiongba to kill him.
Never mind the fact that he hadn't cultivated his magic power, even if he had, he'd probably still be dead.
"Fake!"
"Huang Rong must be trying to scare me!"
"What Mystic Turtle True Skill, Ten Strong Martial Skills, Wu Wudi, Xiongba has never even heard of them!"
"And a two-thousand-year-old monster, how could anyone live that long!"
"I don't believe it!"
Xiongba's composure was starting to crack, and he frantically tried to calm himself.
Although he truly had never heard of any Wu Wudi or anything about an old monster that had lived for two thousand years.
But he knew that the chances of Huang Rong lying were practically nonexistent.
And for this very reason, he desperately tried to convince himself otherwise.
The main problem was that he had no way to deal with this situation.
"Damn it, she's definitely doing this on purpose!"
Even more infuriating for Xiongba was that Huang Rong had said so much, yet didn't mention where she had found Nie Feng.
This was clearly a deliberate attempt to mess with his head.
...
"This is the Blood Bodhi, a treasure that can increase one's cultivation by over a decade, and is also an unparalleled item for healing, even from injuries!"
After walking for a while, Jiang Li led Huang Rong and Yaoyue to a place filled with red light points.
Those light points were the matured Blood Bodhi!
[Blood Bodhi: Grows in the place where the Fire Qilin weeps blood, worth 500 points. Confirm upload?]
Jiang Li picked a Blood Bodhi and used the chat group to appraise it, discovering that a single Blood Bodhi was worth so much.
"It seems I underestimated the effects of the Blood Bodhi."
Jiang Li didn't sell the Blood Bodhi in his hand to the chat group. Instead, he casually tossed it into his mouth. In an instant, a warm power began to spread throughout his body.
The Blood Bodhi's energy was nothing to him.
However, Jiang Li found that it tasted pretty good, sweet, like sugar added to strong liquor.
"Mist Island opens, and a great battle awaits me!"
"I need to save some Blood Bodhi."
Jiang Li picked a few more and stored them before stopping.
