Golden Joy Five Elements Cultivation

"Here, your donkey burger~"

The plump proprietress, wearing an apron, came out of the kitchen with a plate.

She hadn't arrived yet.

Her shout had already reached Su Heng's ears.

Flaky, soft flatbread, stuffed with steaming donkey meat, its aroma was intoxicating.

Although he had slept all day, he had also expended a considerable amount of energy.

"Thanks."

Taking the plate, along with some spicy soup, Su Heng read the news on his communicator while enjoying his morning meal.

Qingcheng, where Su Heng currently lived, was one of the seven satellite cities of Wangjing City.

Last night, a Red Moon appeared near Qingcheng, causing some plants and animals to mutate. Fortunately, the Patrol Department, responsible for maintaining order, discovered it in time.

This prevented any major casualties.

Wangjing City and its affiliated satellite cities had extremely strict gun control.

This had both pros and cons.

The good part was that in this dangerous environment, it greatly reduced public security costs.

Even with gun control, that Long Ge and his gang were so rampant.

If gun control were lifted, he couldn't imagine how rampant Qingcheng's underground gangs would become.

Of course...

The disadvantages of this approach were also obvious.

Without firearms, relying solely on humanity's frail bodies, if they encountered mutated beasts outside, their only option would be to crouch down, bury their heads in their knees.

At least they might leave a complete corpse, one that could be identified.

Last night's Red Moon was reported in the news.

However, Su Heng didn't feel much about it. After cultivating templates like Gamia and Willow Tree, Su Heng's physique had also seen a slight increase.

Especially his resistance to Red Moon radiation, even without fusing templates, he had strong resistance.

"Did you know someone died in our apartment complex last night?"

After finishing breakfast, Just as Su Heng was about to leave, He suddenly heard this sentence. He frowned and sat back down.

"Oh, you heard about that too."

Another person put down their chopsticks and sighed, "It seems to be Old Qin from Building Four. He was also a pitiable person."

"I heard he was a top student who graduated from Wangjing University and then worked in a research institute under Heavenly God Pharmaceutical Company. He had a bright future, but unfortunately, he was infected by Red Moon radiation..."

"He was first fired by the company, and then his wife left. He was left with a daughter who had mental issues..."

"...What about his daughter? I remember Old Qin treated his daughter very well."

"Qin killed her with his own hands."

"..."

The other person was silent for a long time before speaking, "What a shame. But it's better to die sooner. In this damn world, there's no point in living."

"Pretty much."

"..."

After the mealtime, the breakfast shop gradually emptied, with people going about their own business.

Back in his room, Su Heng opened his computer and typed "Heavenly God Pharmaceutical" into the browser.

A string of information appeared on the screen.

The mainstream gene awakening potions on the market, as well as several anti-radiation potions.

All were produced by this company.

In the Red Moon Era, with technological development stagnating, pharmaceutical companies were definitely among the most profitable industries.

Negative news about Heavenly God Pharmaceutical Company.

There was some, but it wasn't fatal.

Especially since there was a lot of information found online, with true and false news mixed together, no one could discern the actual truth.

The reason for suddenly paying so much attention to Heavenly God Pharmaceutical Company.

Aside from the conversation he overheard downstairs earlier, there was another reason.

When he was at Qingcheng KTV before.

Su Heng had eavesdropped on Brother Long and his crew talking outside the private room. The company they mentioned was very likely Heavenly God Pharmaceutical.

"If it's about collecting True Relics, Heavenly God Pharmaceutical certainly has a motive."

His slender, strong fingers tapped lightly on the table.

"However, this method of collecting True Relics..."

Ding ding ding!

A series of urgent rings came from the communicator beside him, interrupting Su Heng's thoughts.

He picked up the communicator.

A string of messages appeared on the lock screen; they were from Su Yue.

"Cousin, I've finished translating and organizing the file you sent me earlier."

"Oh?"

Su Heng's expression shifted slightly.

That relic had given Su Heng 150 True Points, and its contents were very intriguing.

"Thanks, I've really troubled you this time," Su Heng replied.

"You're welcome, just treat me to a meal next time."

Su Yue typed very quickly. Almost as soon as Su Heng sent his message, she had already replied.

After that.

A zipped file was sent over.

Su Heng downloaded it from his computer, then decompressed and viewed it. Images were displayed one after another on the computer screen.

As he watched...

Su Heng's gaze gradually grew serious.

This was indeed as he had initially thought: it was a secret technique passed down from the Golden Age.

Although the entire book was only a few dozen pages long.

It was divided into two major parts: internal cultivation and fist techniques. The internal cultivation was called Golden Joy Cultivation, and the fist technique was called Five Elements Fist.

The internal cultivation and fist technique were combined.

This was the complete secret technique called Golden Joy Five Elements Fist.

"A secret technique passed down from the Golden Age, a mysterious ancient book, plus unusual True Points, could it be..."

Su Heng's personality was quite steady.

But now, a series of characteristics appeared on this book simultaneously.

It was hard not to let his imagination run wild. Could it be that he had actually obtained a legendary martial arts manual?

With curiosity and yearning.

Su Heng began to seriously observe and study the secrets within Golden Joy Five Elements Cultivation, recording the movements in the illustrations and attempting to learn them.

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye.

Nearly a week had passed.

One evening, after finishing his practice, Su Heng returned home. After a simple wash, he sat in front of his computer desk, lost in thought.

It only took him a few hours to master the Balai Jab through video.

He could even generalize from it.

From this perspective, Su Heng believed his aptitude for martial arts shouldn't be bad.

But this Golden Joy Five Elements Fist, it had taken a full week.

Excluding the twelve hours he fixedly spent on his two templates every day, all his remaining free time had been dedicated to studying this secret technique with mysterious origins.

Over a dozen illustrations.

More than a thousand characters. The entire book, he could now recite it backward.

But in terms of harvest, he felt absolutely nothing.

This made Su Heng fall into deep self-doubt.

"If there's no problem with me, then the problem must be with this book..."

A hint of helplessness flashed in Su Heng's eyes.

"The internal cultivation described in the book is profound and mysterious, but it's simply impossible to achieve. On the other hand, the later fist techniques have some exquisite and practical aspects."

"However, this is also good.

If, one day in the future, my strength is truly exposed, I can blame it on these ancient methods."
