Wood-Hiding Art Reaches Max Level, Commercial Thinking (Fourth Update!!!)

At night, the chirping of insects rose and fell outside the window.

Under the pale moonlight, Xu Changqing studied the [Wood-Hiding Art].

This is the only High Grade Movement Method among the several High Grade Law Technique I've acquired that I haven't yet mastered.

Sensing a slight sluggishness in his thinking, he immediately took out the specially prepared Expert-grade Yellow Rice Wine and quickly took a sip.

Instantly, a spicy and sweet flavor lingered in my mouth.

After sliding into the abdomen, it transformed into a warm current that flowed throughout the entire body.

My mind became active again, and I re-entered a learning state.

Time passed quietly as the moon hung directly above the cabin.

Xu Changqing suddenly had a thought and subconsciously looked at the attribute panel.

[Wood-Hiding Art "Level 1"]

Effect 1: Movement speed increased by 6%.

Effect 2: Reaction speed increased by 6%.

Special Effect 1: Reduces presence by 10% in areas with plants.

Xu Changqing asked in surprise, "A single layer has special effects?"

This [Wood-Hiding Art] truly lives up to its reputation as High Grade Movement Method.

There are three effects in one layer; if you reach the top level, that would be incredible.

[Would you like to consume 13267 days of your lifespan to repair the incomplete Wood-Hiding Art?]

"Thirty-six years?" Xu Changqing could accept that, so he readily agreed.

In an instant, the information about [Wood-Hiding Art] became much richer.

Xu Changqing utilizes his current knowledge, experience, and skills.

It took 36 years to repair and complete this incomplete work.

[Wood-Hiding Art "Level 1"]

Effect 1: Movement speed increased by 10%.

Effect 2: Reaction speed increased by 10%.

Special effect 1: In areas with plants, your presence is reduced by 10%, and even the slightest footsteps will be masked by the plants.

Sure enough, once the fragment was repaired and completed, the effect was completely different.

Compared to before, both the normal and special effects have been improved.

[Would you like to consume 1389 days of your lifespan to upgrade the Wood-Hiding Art to level two?]

"Yes." Having spent over ten thousand days, Xu Changqing certainly wouldn't be stingy with this amount.

Because it had already been patched once, the improvement was very rapid.

In a mere moment of distraction, everything was settled.

[Wood-Hiding Art "Second Level"]

Effect 1: Movement speed increased by 20%.

Effect 2: Reaction speed increased by 20%.

Special Effect 1: In areas with plants, your presence is reduced by 20%, and when stationary, you are indistinguishable from the plants.

"Not bad." Xu Changqing was quite satisfied with the result.

There was neither unexpected joy nor particular disappointment.

The improvement of one's own Cultivation Method and Law Technique is different from the leap in realm.

Therefore, there will be no particularly significant changes; at most, it will only be an enhancement of the existing foundation.

Xu Changqing then went all in, upgrading [Wood-Hiding Art] to the top level.

[Successfully consumed 10629 days of lifespan to upgrade the Wood-Hiding Art to level six]

[Remaining lifespan: 118,976 days]

[Six Levels of Wood-Hiding Art]

Effect 1: Movement speed increased by 60%

Effect 2: Reaction speed increased by 60%

Effect 3: Increases dodge speed by 50%.

Special effect one: In areas with plants, its presence is minimized, becoming completely silent, and can only be detected by extremely powerful sensory abilities (such as Spiritual Sense or Divine Sense).

Special Effect 2: Hiding near living plants makes no difference, minimizing the chance of being discovered; hiding near dead plants increases the chance of being discovered.

Xu Changqing's eyes lit up, and he immediately got out of bed, opened the door, and went outside.

Wangwang always stays up all night, although he sometimes slacks off.

Fortunately, this time, or rather tonight, I was very dutiful.

Upon seeing this, Xu Changqing darted into the darkness like a ghost, disappearing behind Poplar Tree in no time.

"Wangwang!"

Suddenly, the master's voice called out.

Upon hearing this, Wangwang, who was lying near the doghouse, immediately raised its head and pricked up its ears.

"Wangwang!"

Soon, a second call rang out.

Upon hearing its owner calling it, Wangwang looked around blankly.

Strangely, the sound was clearly nearby.

It's impossible to spot them; they seem to have vanished.

This worried Wangwang greatly, as it thought its owner was in danger, and it searched everywhere for him.

Spirit Fields, field ridges, even Stone Mountain.

Explore every corner you've ever been to.

Exhausted and panting heavily, his tongue lolled out of his mouth.

Even so, it did not give up and continued its search.

After persistent efforts, the dog finally reached the vicinity of the Poplar Tree.

"Wangwang!" Xu Changqing continued calling from behind the tree.

Sob sob

The dog kept circling around, but couldn't find it. I was getting really anxious.

His eyes were filled with anxiety, unease, impatience, and even fear.

Seeing that they were so close, Xu Changqing simply stopped calling out.

After all, spirit beasts must be exceptionally gifted in terms of sight, hearing, and even smell.

One lap, two laps... after countless laps, Wangwang still hadn't found her, and turned away in disappointment.

They started searching in the fields and even went inside houses to check.

No matter how hard they tried, they still didn't gain anything.

It was as if Xu Changqing had completely disappeared from this world.

Sound, breath, smell, even presence—all vanished without a trace.

"The night, combined with the plants, makes me feel like a ghost, completely invisible," Xu Changqing exclaimed excitedly.

Watching Wangwang dart around aimlessly like a headless fly.

He emerged from behind the Poplar Tree with a grin.

"Um?!"

Upon smelling its owner's scent again, Wangwang's eyes lit up.

With a quick thought, he locked onto his target.

Even though its body was extremely exhausted and its four legs were weak from prolonged exercise, it still rushed towards its owner without hesitation.

His eyes went from anxiety, unease, impatience, and fear to finally only showing happiness.

"Silly dog!" Xu Changqing squatted down, moved, and rubbed the dog's head affectionately.

Waaaaah~

Wangwang made a sound like it was being pleaded with.

It was as if it were saying, "Master... I was so worried about you!"

It even clung tightly to Xu Changqing with its two front paws, as if afraid of disappearing again.

Pets may simply be a part of their owners' lives.

But for pets, their owners are their whole life.

The next day.

Xu Changqing had just finished his morning routine.

The Communication Talisman vibrated from the Small Storage Bag.

"Lao Hu?"

"Old Xu, you heard about the challenge between the top two players, right?"

"Of course I know!"

"Then hurry up and leave, let's go to the scene together!"

"No rush, I'll definitely go, but I need to prepare."

"Prepare what? Do you want to go up into the ring and fight too?"

Think about it carefully.

If the top two on the leaderboard fight, there will definitely be a lot of people there.

I happen to have a large quantity of Supreme-Grade Watermelon, Supreme-Grade Sweet Potato, and Top-grade Spirit Rice Wine here.

This is our chance to make a fortune!

"Wow, Lao Xu, you're so smart! I could sell barbecue or something!"

You'd better call Lao Zhao along too.

Why?

"He can chill my watermelon and Spirit Rice Wine!"

Hu Bugui excitedly cut off the communication.

Xu Changqing's lips curled up slightly, revealing a rather smug smile.

While everyone else was focused on the battle between the top two on the leaderboard, he was more concerned with how to get Spirit Stone from the Storage Bag of these viewers!
