White Dragon Whip

Chapter 25: 25. White Dragon Whip

In the blink of an eye, heaven and earth transformed, and Lu Li found himself in the Divine Continent of another world.

He glanced at the large travel bag, half his height, in his hand, and only after confirming it had come with him did he breathe a sigh of relief.

He had brought quite a lot this time: weapons, ammunition, watches, lighters, soap, shampoo – a total of 30 jin.

Lu Li had been worried it wouldn't come along, but now it seemed it was far from the Kunlun Mirror's limit.

He carried the travel bag out of the dim, narrow alley and headed towards Mo's Medical Hall.

But when he got close, he found the medical hall's main door shut tight. A crowd had gathered outside, clamoring:

"Doctor Mo is too narrow-minded, actually refusing to open the door."

"Exactly, my husband is still waiting for his medicine."

"We're all neighbors, we see each other every day, there's no need to be so absolute, is there?"

It seemed Wan Qing hadn't opened the door, drawing dissatisfaction from the crowd.

Seeing Lu Li approach, they frequently turned their heads to look at him, whispering amongst themselves:

"Isn't that the lame guy from the medical hall? I heard he's Doctor Mo's sweetheart."

"He's quite good-looking, just a cripple."

As they were talking, Lu Li casually glanced over.

As his gaze swept over them, the crowd suddenly felt a chill, inexplicably panicked and short of breath. Those who were naturally sensitive quickly ran off.

Lu Li already possessed a powerful spirit, and with dozens of lives on his hands, he could already suppress ordinary people with his aura.

A few hotheads, unwilling to believe it, still wanted to retort with sarcasm to regain their dignity.

But as they watched the young man walking closer and closer, they instinctively couldn't speak, not even daring to make eye contact, instinctively looking away.

The crowd parted like a tide, clearing a path, and Lu Li walked through with composure.

~~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile, two young women were standing in the medical hall's courtyard, talking.

Wan Qing was somewhat conflicted, "Xiao Cha, this isn't right..."

"What's not right?" Xiao Cha retorted indignantly, "You practically do charity work every day, but when something happens, you don't even have anyone to help. We won't serve them anymore!"

Just then, the main door was knocked on, and a familiar voice called out, "I'm back."

The two young women's faces lit up with joy. Xiao Cha darted forward to open the door, welcoming Lu Li in.

"You're back, was it smooth sailing?"

"It was alright."

Xiao Cha closed the door and added, "You saw those people outside, I don't think Wan Qing should continue her practice."

Lu Li said, "Miss Wan Qing should focus on her cultivation. At most, she can treat those she knows well."

Hearing Lu Li say the same, Wan Qing no longer hesitated, "Alright then, I can take the children to process the raw herbs."

"That's the spirit! Wars are happening everywhere, and the price of medicinal herbs is soaring. Isn't that much better than your charity work?"

Xiao Cha was happily chatting when she suddenly heard a "clang." It turned out Lu Li had placed the heavy travel bag on the ground.

"What is it? Let me help you carry it in~"

"I brought you some... local specialties."

Lu Li unzipped the backpack and first took out 5 mechanical wristwatches of average quality, saying, "Take these to trade for Calming Incense."

Then he took out soap and shampoo, "You two can use these..."

"Wait a minute!"

Xiao Cha pointed at the backpack full of weapons and ammunition, her face full of shock, "Are you going to war?!"

Lu Li said matter-of-factly, "The times are not peaceful, these are for self-defense."

"..."

Xiao Cha was speechless, while Wan Qing picked up the soap and shampoo, touched them, and sniffed them, saying with interest, "This soap smells so good, it must be very comfortable to use~"

Xiao Cha picked up a shotgun, muttering, "What is this... a hunting rifle? Why is it so short?"

Similar shotguns had appeared on battlefields as early as the 1880s, so it wasn't unusual.

The Remington M870 Lu Li brought had no stock, making it look particularly short.

But its craftsmanship was more advanced, its performance was significantly better, and it was even more lethal!

Xiao Cha vaguely sensed this, her pretty face flushed with excitement.

She really liked these Blue Star killing tools, finding their tough and smooth appearance pleasing to the eye, and immediately became fond of them.

Unfortunately, they weren't hers in the end. Firearms were always expensive, so the young lady reluctantly put them back into her travel bag.

At this moment, Lu Li said, "Take a shotgun for self-defense."

"Ah? That might not be good..." Xiao Cha started to act coy again, her long legs tightly squeezed together, fidgeting.

Lu Li waved his hand casually, "We have two anyway, and it's for everyone's safety."

"Hehe, then I won't be polite~"

Xiao Cha quickly hugged the shotgun to her chest, grinning foolishly.

After a while, she declared grandly, "I can't just take it for nothing, I'll teach you a set of the White Dragon Whip Technique!"

At this point, Wan Qing interjected, "The White Dragon Whip Technique is Xiao Cha's family's martial art, and it's never been taught to outsiders."

"Then thank you very much."

Lu Li had been interested in the young lady's Nine-Section Whip for a long time, thinking it was a powerful weapon. Ordinary people could even produce sonic booms with it, and it was highly concealable.

But things weren't that simple. Xiao Cha put on a serious face and said solemnly:

"The White Dragon Whip Technique is a superior martial art that combines striking and training. Hurting the enemy is secondary; the most important thing is that it can train the entire body's muscles and bones! The 'Dragon Unwinding Stance' you practice is just one set of its movements!"

Hearing this, Lu Li became even more interested!

Wan Qing picked up a pile of bottles and jars, smiling softly, "You two practice well, I'm going to make dinner."

The two of them went to the center of the courtyard, where a sandbag was placed.

Xiao Cha flicked her jade-like hand at her waist and drew out the shimmering Nine-Section Whip.

Then, with a flick of her arm, the whip whistled out and exploded with a "Pa!" sound, directly blasting the sandbag to pieces!

Lu Li gasped, how terrifying would that power be if it hit a person!

This was the effect Xiao Cha wanted to achieve – to awe her "disciple."

She slowly said, "Now that firearms are dominant, killing techniques are no longer valuable. But the [training methods] for tempering the body are still secret arts!"

"Next, you'd better watch carefully. The training method of the White Dragon Whip Technique has a total of 77 movements!"

Xiao Cha put away her Nine-Section Whip and began to move her arms.

The movements were very slow, and Lu Li entered his "Concentrating Spirit state" again, watching very clearly.

Her arms moved like two whips, constantly swinging and drawing an '8' shape, stretching the major tendons of her body.

The 77 movements were indeed quite a lot, and some looked very strange, but they were precisely for training the entire body's muscles and bones.

Xiao Cha demonstrated all of them and said, "When exerting force, you absolutely cannot rely on your hands alone; you must use the major tendons of your body to swing!"

"I understand!"

Lu Li nodded and began to practice.

His first attempt was already 70% similar, and Xiao Cha corrected him from the side.

Two hours later, Lu Li was practicing with considerable skill.

However, unfortunately, due to missing a leg, many movements were difficult to execute smoothly, greatly reducing the effect.

Xiao Cha said with emotion, "Not bad, you learn very quickly. Don't be too anxious, take your time."

Lu Li fell into thought, remaining silent.

The initial "Dragon Unwinding Stance" wasn't too obvious, but looking at the White Dragon Whip Technique, martial arts cultivation was definitely not as simple as training muscles in a gym.

A full 77 movements – this was a systematic human enhancement project, where one move affected the entire body!

And he was missing the most crucial "foundation." No matter how hard he tried, his efforts would yield half the results.

Coupled with his inability to grasp "belief," the path ahead was not smooth.

Lu Li couldn't help but let out a long sigh...

At this moment, Wan Qing called out from a distance, "Let's eat first~ I made hand-pulled noodles~"

Xiao Cha also patted his shoulder and said softly, "Man proposes, but destiny disposes. What kind of cultivation journey is without its hurdles?"
