Narration System for the Journey of Martial Arts

Lu Xiaofeng choked. He looked at Su Yuchen, who looked sickly, and Hua Manlou, who looked helpless, and suddenly laughed because it was the first time he had seen such a different expression on his friend's face.

Simply because Hua Manlou was always full of hope.

“Okay, I’ll be your friend,” Lu Xiaofeng nodded.

Su Yuchen raised an eyebrow and said, "It's because of Hua Manlou's helplessness."

Lu Xiaofeng nodded and said, "He has always been full of hope for everyone, and I have always hoped that he could be more vigilant."

Su Yuchen smiled and said, "Then you really underestimate him."

Lu Xiaofeng looked at Su Yuchen, then at Hua Manlou, as if he felt he had missed something: "If that's the case, then why did you come here?"

Hua Manlou laughed and said, "Because we did it voluntarily."

Su Yuchen: "Because he was also worried about his meddlesome friend."

Hua Manlou said, "Because I'm also quite free, and I just wanted to come out for a stroll."

Lu Xiaofeng: ...

"Yeah, how could I possibly think both of my friends are complete idiots?"

Hua Manlou laughed and said, "We may not be stupid, but you have been fooled."

Lu Xiaofeng said, "You mean that glass of wine?"

Hua Manlou nodded and said, "We arrived before you did, and we knew then that this trouble was likely related to a debt."

Lu Xiaofeng said, "Now you know that this debt is not easy to collect. Huo Xiu, the richest man in the world, Yan Tieshan of the Yan family of Guanzhong Jewelry, and Dugu Yihe, the current leader of Emei Sect. None of them are easy to collect debts from."

“Perhaps we’ve overlooked something,” Su Yuchen said.

Chapter 409 Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou 2

Lu Xiaofeng looked over in surprise, and Hua Manlou smiled and said, "Brother Su always notices a lot of details."

Su Yuchen did not answer, but said, "Although we arrived very late, I still overheard some of the Great Golden Roc King's rambling. He said that his country was plundered by Cossack cavalry, and he was forced to flee."

“That’s right, what’s the problem?” Lu Xiaofeng said.

Su Yuchen smiled:

"This is a big problem."

“You should know that Cossack cavalry were only active in the Pakistan and Palestine areas, which were transit points on the land Silk Road, and most importantly, they were located in Central Asia.”

"The Central Asian population is more similar to the Oberonians. Although there are many people from the Central Plains there, most of them are merchants. At least I have never heard of any people from the Central Plains establishing a country there."

Lu Xiaofeng's expression turned somewhat grim. The Su family, known as the "Half-City Su," controlled nearly half of the world's silk trade. And silk was, of course, the most important commodity on the Silk Road. Therefore, Su Yuchen would never lie about this matter.

Hua Manlou said, "It's hard to accept the rule of other races just because of differences in skin color."

Su Yuchen sighed, "If it were during the powerful Han Dynasty, the emperor's angels could slay a king with a sword and then rule the country as angels. But now..."

Lu Xiaofeng said, "So you think the identity of the Great Golden Roc King is fake?"

Su Yuchen shook his head and said:

"But isn't that princess his daughter? Her appearance is not much different from ours."

"Either, the Great Golden Roc King is an imposter, and what he says is incoherent and doesn't make sense, and he may not even know where the Golden Roc Dynasty is."

"Perhaps it's because they've been in the Central Plains for so long that they gradually adopted the appearance and clothing of the people from the Central Plains."

Hua Manlou sighed, "But it was too dark in the room just now, so we didn't notice what the Great Golden Roc King looked like."

Su Yuchen said, "I just think that even if we're going to collect a debt, shouldn't we at least listen to what the debtor has to say? After all, those three debtors don't seem like people who can't pay their debts."

Hua Manlou said, "The Yan family of Guanzhong has a jewelry business that can be carried all over the Central Plains. At the very least, Yan Tieshan is not a stingy person."

Indeed, even a stingy person wouldn't have the ability to do business all over the Central Plains, let alone in the imperial palace.

Lu Xiaofeng said with a wry smile, "I suddenly realize that this trouble seems to be quite big."

Hua Manlou laughed and said, "At least in this current predicament, we haven't gone down the wrong path yet."

………………

It was already late, and Su Yuchen had gone to rest, but Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou were still there.

“You trust him a lot,” Lu Xiaofeng said.

Hua Manlou nodded: "At least, I didn't sense any malice."

Lu Xiaofeng looked puzzled: "I can't see through him, and since he's someone who suddenly appeared, and I just happened to run into a big problem, it's inevitable that I'll think about it a bit more."

Hua Manlou's expression became very serious, so serious that it was the first time Lu Xiaofeng had ever seen his friend like this.

Hua Manlou said, “Brother Su is very pure. His heart is purer than anyone else’s. So pure that he will not be moved by anyone or anything. Therefore, I hope that he will participate so that he can feel the gentleness of this world.”

Lu Xiaofeng said, "Are you saying he's a heartless person? Is it because of his childhood experiences?"

Hua Manlou shook his head and said, "Have you ever appreciated a fish? He is like a tourist standing by the pond, while all of us are fish in the pond."

Lu Xiaofeng frowned and asked, "Then why did he suddenly go down into the pond and get involved?"

Hua Manlou sighed, "Perhaps he stood there for too long, so he chose to take a boat. Just then, a group of fish swam by, so he reached out and stirred the water, but he eventually went ashore and left."

Lu Xiaofeng said, "Even an emperor who leaps over the dragon gate cannot easily leave the pond."

Hua Manlou fell silent; he couldn't explain the feeling he had after spending two or three months with Su Yuchen. So he didn't say anything more.

After a while.

"His martial arts are terrifying? But the Su family's experiences are not enough to make him have strong martial arts? Could it be that he had some other extraordinary encounter?" Lu Xiaofeng asked.

Hua Manlou didn't speak; he simply pointed a finger lightly at Lu Xiaofeng. Lu Xiaofeng, who had initially been indifferent, became serious and asked in surprise, "How did you do that?"

Hua Manlou said, "I just demonstrated it once, and then I saw him demonstrate it again, and then I learned it."

Lu Xiaofeng said, "That's interesting. At the very least, his talent is really strong."

...............

After a long while, Lu Xiaofeng sighed and said, "There's a question I still can't figure out. Whether it's Huo Xiu or Yan Tieshan, their initial wealth appeared too suddenly. If this money really was the starting capital of the Great Golden Roc King, then..."

Flowers fill the corridor:

"That means the Great Golden Roc King wasn't lying."

"But this doesn't prove why Yan Tieshan and the other two are unwilling to repay the money. At the very least, that amount of money is nothing compared to their current net worth."

"Huo Xiu is the richest man in the world, and that amount of money is just a drop in the ocean for him; Yan Tieshan owns the largest jewelry business in the world, and he could easily fill this room; Dugu Yihe is the leader of the Emei Sect, and as long as he asks, the Shu Prince's Mansion will be happy to pay off his debts."

Lu Xiaofeng smiled wryly and said, "What you said makes a lot of sense. It seems that we really need to listen to what the debtor has to say."

After the lights were turned off, Lu Xiaofeng muttered to himself, "If that's the case, is Dugu Yihe really the head of the Green Robe Pavilion?"

In the pitch-black room, Hua Manlou said, "Regardless of whether it is Dugu Yihe or not, we should go and find Ximen Chuixue. He hasn't shown up for a long time. As friends, we should go and see him."

Lu Xiaofeng smiled wryly and said, "As a friend, you are far more qualified than me."

………………

early morning.

[Your luck is always good; you've discovered a piece of purple jade marrow, which will help with your primordial spirit's injury.]

Su Yuchen was conflicted, perhaps even a little happy. While collecting the purple energy, he couldn't help but use his primordial spirit to scan the energy of heaven and earth. He discovered a rare treasure a hundred miles away.

That wisp of purple energy permeated the heavens and earth, impossible to miss.

His hesitation stemmed from his uncertainty about whether this was related to some powerful figure. However, upon reflection, with the system's protection, as long as he didn't deliberately pursue it, those powerful figures shouldn't have the time to concern themselves with a mere pawn. Thinking this way, it seemed there was nothing to worry about.

"What are you thinking about, Brother Su?"

Su Yuchen turned around and saw Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng standing side by side under the eaves.

Su Yuchen thought for a moment and said, "I've discovered something interesting. Perhaps we should part ways."

Lu Xiaofeng almost couldn't help but ask what it was, but then he thought of something else and became happy again.

Hua Manlou smiled and said, "Then Brother Su can go take care of your business first. We will go to Wanmei Manor to invite Ximen Chuixue. If you are done with your business, you can meet us there."

"it is good."

Lu Xiaofeng watched as Su Yuchen responded and then disappeared before his eyes. He had no idea how he disappeared. He even jumped up to look, but he couldn't see Su Yuchen's figure within a radius of two or three miles.

Hua Manlou asked, puzzled, "What are you doing?"

Lu Xiaofeng patted his cheeks to make sure he wasn't dreaming: "Your friend disappeared, just like that... as if he vanished into thin air. What kind of superpower allows you to disappear within a mile in an instant?"

Hua Manlou said softly, "He can't possibly be a monster."

Lu Xiaofeng muttered to himself, "Perhaps you are right, his martial arts skills are very high, so high that they seem inhuman."

Hua Manlou's ears twitched, and he said, "Someone's coming."

A moment later, a maid entered from behind the moon gate, and Princess Danfeng invited them to a banquet.

After she left, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but ask, "I didn't notice her until she was within a hundred meters. How did you notice her so early?"

Hua Manlou smiled and said, "If you know the internal skills I know, you can do it too."

Chapter 410 Repairing Injuries

Su Yuchen left the residence of the Great Golden Roc King and followed the energy flow eastward, gradually disappearing into the desolate mountains and dense forests.

If it weren't for the guidance of the Qi, Su Yuchen would never have believed that anyone could find this place, so he gradually felt relieved.

Traveling at breakneck speed, from dawn until the sun was high in the sky, Su Yuchen finally arrived at his destination. What came into view was a straight and proud mountain peak, and the purple aura was located at the summit.

With a flick of his sleeve and aided by the omnipresent wind, Su Yuchen soared upwards like a roc spreading its wings, leaping dozens of feet in a single bound. His true energy was inexhaustible, and his strength was boundless. With a few quick taps of his toes, Su Yuchen disappeared into the clouds.

Upon reaching the summit, what comes into view is a massive boulder, as tall as three or four people and shaped like a chicken egg, with its vital energy residing within it.

Looking around, this place is sheltered from the wind and water. Not far away, a stream meanders around the foot of the mountain like a ribbon. The remaining peaks on both sides resemble two outstretched wings, and the shape is like a roc poised to take flight.

The round egg on its head, like a crown, gathers the essence of mountains, rivers, the earth, the sun, and the moon.

"No wonder it can nurture such a rare and precious material containing the purple energy of the Great Sun." Su Yuchen reached out and pressed down, and countless true energies transformed into tiny, fish-scale-like blade energy, which swirled from his palm and surged into the boulder. In an instant, stone dust fell from the boulder like rain, and under the swirling cutting of the blade energy, it gradually began to decompose.

Even with the blessing of his primordial spirit, it took Su Yuchen quite a while to break through the layers of stone and see the jade stone surrounded by purple light.

With a wave of his hand, he dispersed the sword energy, and his true energy transformed into soft threads that wrapped the jade marrow layer by layer, extracting it from the egg. As soon as it appeared in the world, a purple halo illuminated the surrounding area, like a purple pearl.

True energy, like silk threads, seeped into the pearl, causing it to radiate a dazzling purple light, like a rising purple sun.

Immediately afterwards, the purple sun in his palm trembled slightly, and a huge amount of energy surged out from it, flowing along the meridians in Su Yuchen's body towards his dantian.

As Su Yuchen unleashed his true qi, the energy surged even more violently, like a torrent rushing in. It circulated in his dantian and then rolled up along his meridians. His moon-like primordial spirit was quickly submerged by the purple qi.

As the energy increased, the purple aura gradually liquefied, like purple rain, dripping onto the tiny cracks in the bright moon. A warm and gentle aura enveloped Su Yuchen completely.

Su Yuchen sat cross-legged three feet in the air, countless purple threads surging and quickly enveloping him, forming a large purple cocoon that occasionally shimmered with a purple halo.

As the sun rises and sets, time cycles, and the purple cocoon gradually loses its translucent appearance, its purple halo gradually receding.

………………

Just as Su Yuchen was engrossed in deep cultivation, Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng, accompanied by Princess Danfeng, left the residence of the Great Golden Roc King.

Only after Princess Danfeng left in her carriage did Hua Manlou ask, "This is not the way to Wanmei Manor."

Lu Xiaofeng said, "Before we go to Wanmei Manor, we need to talk to two people and discuss two issues."

"Who is it?" Hua Manlou asked.

Lu Xiaofeng looked at the brothel not far away and said, "Dazhi and Datong."

Hua Manlou said, "It is said that these two people know everything, but very few people know where they are?"

Lu Xiaofeng watched the thin old man walk out of the brothel, then followed him, saying indifferently, "Just because others can't find him doesn't mean this bastard can't."

Hua Manlou couldn't help but ask, "What a strange nickname!"

Lu Xiaofeng explained, "Because when this person is poor, he acts like a coward, but when he has money, he acts like a demanding master. However, he always goes back and forth between being rich and poor, so he is called the cowardly master."

Hua Manlou smiled and said, "I didn't expect there to be such strange people."

Lu Xiaofeng shrugged and said, "The strange thing is that he always manages to find Dazhi and Datong. So there's always someone giving him money."

"Including you?" Hua Manlou asked.
