Treasure Cave

"Rumble..."

A somewhat unfamiliar flood of memories suddenly emerged out of nowhere in Xiao Feng's mind. They were the memories A Zhu had accumulated over many years of studying disguise techniques.

As Xiao Feng slowly absorbed those memories, he felt as though he had personally studied disguise techniques for years. Even A Zhu's perspective within those memories gradually became his own.

Among the disguise techniques A Zhu had mastered, aside from makeup skills capable of passing falsehood off as truth, there was also a voice-changing technique that could imitate other people's voices.

Although disguise techniques could not directly increase Xiao Feng's strength, their supportive capabilities were still very powerful.

In the original story, it was precisely because of her disguise techniques that A Zhu had been able to infiltrate the Shaolin Temple, where experts gathered in droves, and successfully steal its treasured scripture, the "Yi Jin Jing."

After sorting through the additional disguise memories in his mind, Xiao Feng used his remaining two Free Lottery chances in quick succession and drew Qiao Feng's Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms Experience and Duan Yu's Hundred Poisons Immunity Body.

Qiao Feng's Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms Experience was similar to A Zhu's Disguise Technique Experience. Both directly poured the relevant cultivation memories into Xiao Feng's mind.

However, the "Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms" was a martial art and differed greatly from a Dou Technique, so it could not be directly activated with Dou Qi.

Therefore, in the cultivation memories Xiao Feng received, the "Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms" had also been optimized and improved by the system, transforming it into a Mystic Middle-Grade Dou Technique.

Once Xiao Feng had completely absorbed those cultivation memories, his comprehension of the "Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms" reached a level roughly comparable to Qiao Feng's.

If mastery of martial arts and Dou Techniques were divided into different realms, they could roughly be classified into four stages: Beginner, Small Accomplishment, Great Accomplishment, and Perfection.

Qiao Feng had earned the title of "Northern Qiao Feng" at such a young age because he was exceptionally compatible with the Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms and had long since cultivated it to the Perfection realm.

Since Xiao Feng had absorbed Qiao Feng's experience cultivating the Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms, his comprehension of it naturally reached a level close to Perfection as well.

The reason he had not directly reached the Perfection realm was that Xiao Feng had only absorbed Qiao Feng's cultivation memories and did not possess the same physical aptitude, resulting in a slight gap.

After sorting through the cultivation memories related to the Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms, Xiao Feng immediately used the red orb representing Duan Yu's Hundred Poisons Immunity Body.

When the red orb merged into Xiao Feng's body, the relevant information also surfaced in his mind out of nowhere.

In essence, the Hundred Poisons Immunity Body Xiao Feng had obtained had an upper limit. At most, it could only grant immunity to poisons no more toxic than the Manggu Toad's venom.

In the world of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, the Manggu Toad was the king of all poisons and could grant immunity to most of the deadly poisons that appeared in the original story.

However, on the Dou Qi Continent, there were many poisons more potent than the Manggu Toad's venom. At most, it could only poison a Third Order Magical Beast to death.

Therefore, the deadly poisons Xiao Feng could resist could not exceed third-grade poisons at most.

After figuring out the abilities of the Hundred Poisons Immunity Body, Xiao Feng summoned his Character Attribute Panel. It displayed:

Several days later

Outer Region of the Monster Mountain Range

"Whoosh!"

Just as Xiao Feng was searching the cliffs near Green Mountain Town as usual, a sharp whistling sound suddenly came at him from behind.

"Roar—"

Without even turning around, Xiao Feng swung his palm backward. A resounding dragon's roar erupted from his palm, blasting the Rock Snake that had tried to ambush him into several pieces.

Rock Snakes were fairly common first-order magical beasts. As their name suggested, they were snake-like magical beasts that preferred living on rock walls.

Their bodies were flat like fleshy wings, allowing them to glide through the air like flying squirrels. Their bodies were also as hard as stone, making them difficult to injure with ordinary blades.

Over the past few days, Xiao Feng had already searched three cliffs in succession and had suffered several Rock Snake ambushes along the way.

Originally, with Xiao Feng's cultivation as a Two-Star Dou Zhe and a Mystic Grade Dou Technique that he had only just begun to learn, dealing with a Rock Snake comparable to a Three- or Four-Star Dou Zhe would have taken some effort.

However, Xiao Feng had broken through to Three Star Dou Zhe yesterday. Combined with his nearly Perfection-level Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms, he could destroy a mere Rock Snake with a flick of his palm.

After disposing of the Rock Snake that had courted death, Xiao Feng followed his safety rope to the nearest cave entrance.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

Xiao Feng first launched several Green Wind Blades, cutting down the tangled strange trees around the entrance, then threw a torch into the pitch-black cave.

After waiting outside the cave for a while and seeing no sign of the torch going out, Xiao Feng finally crawled into the cave and untied the safety rope around his waist.

Looking at the dark, narrow passage ahead, Xiao Feng raised an eyebrow. A powerful premonition suddenly arose in his heart that he had found that Treasure Cave.

Xiao Feng picked up the torch from the ground and had not walked far down the dark passage before a stone door blocked his way.

The stone door radiated a faint yellow glow and was several meters thick. Only an expert at the level of a Dou Master or above could forcibly break it open.

Seeing this, Xiao Feng carefully recalled the original story and began feeling around the stone door.

Very soon, Xiao Feng found a tiny protrusion beneath the stone door and gently pressed it with his finger.

"Click, click, click..."

As the sound of mechanisms turning rang out, the heavy stone door slowly rose. A faint light shone from within, driving away the darkness around it.

When Xiao Feng entered beyond the stone door, his view suddenly opened up.

It was a massive stone chamber with a spacious interior and somewhat antiquated decor. Dozens of Moonlight Stones used for illumination were embedded in the stone walls.

At the very center of the stone chamber stood a stone chair, upon which sat a bleached-white skeleton.

Before the skeleton was a rectangular bluestone platform holding three locked stone boxes.

Aside from that, a considerable amount of gold, silver, and treasure was piled in the four corners of the chamber, along with a small flowerbed planted with spiritual herbs.

Seeing this, Xiao Feng first put away all the gold, silver, and treasure. Then he took out the tools he had prepared in advance from his Storage Ring, dug up all the spiritual herbs in the flowerbed, and carefully stored them in jade boxes.

Only after putting away the last spiritual herb did Xiao Feng shift his gaze to the three locked stone boxes.

Xiao Feng quickly walked over to the bluestone platform, swept his gaze over the skeleton, and finally fixed his attention on its wrist.

Three pitch-black keys were threaded on a string and hung from the bleached-white bone of its right arm.
