"For the sake of the old man, Xiao Huo offers you a few words of advice: Thirty Years East of the River, and one should never underestimate a young man's potential!"
Ling Yi stood in the inn, a table in front of him. Dressed in white, he was talking animatedly about a story.
There were probably over a hundred people in the inn, but at this moment they were all focused, tense, and completely silent.
The saying " Thirty Years East of the River, thirty years west of the river" instantly ignited the atmosphere.
"Okay!" someone shouted.
Everyone seemed to be "awakened" by the shout.
" Thirty Years East of the River, thirty years west of the river; a true man should act in this way."
"Don't underestimate a young man's potential; Xiao Huo is a liar!"
"..."
Ling Yi thought to himself, " Great Emperor Xiao Huo truly lives up to his reputation as the patriarch of the pretentious world. That line, 'Don't underestimate a young man's potential,' is just too inspiring."
This was especially moving for ordinary Martial Practitioner at the bottom of the Jianghu.
Old Bai weaved through the crowd, constantly refilling everyone's tea, and offering snacks like melon seeds, soybeans, and peanuts, even using his Qinggong.
Mo Xiaobei and the others were also extremely busy, while Tong Xiangyu couldn't stop smiling. The story Ling Yi had been telling these past few days was so fantastical and captivating that anyone who heard it even once would be engrossed.
The word spread like wildfire, and more and more people came. The income from these few days was equivalent to almost half a year's income in the past. For Tong Xiangyu, who was practically obsessed with money, she was so happy that she almost fainted.
At the very back of the crowd, a handsome young man dressed in a constable's uniform was looking at the storyteller Ling Yi with a strange expression, muttering something under his breath.
This person, named Zheng Fan, is the Protagonist of this world.
The "golden finger" is the " Constable System," where you earn Capture Points by catching people, and then use these Capture Points Lottery and improve your strength.
At this moment, he has reached the Peak Acquired Realm, his cultivation method is the Nine Yin Manual, and his skills are Little Li's Flying Dagger and the Cao Character Sword Art.
Such skill already makes one a formidable opponent in the Jianghu.
As a time traveler, how could I not know about Great Emperor Xiao Huo?
What Zheng Fan never expected was that he would run into a fellow townsman. However, Zheng Fan was not very happy to see his fellow townsman.
If he were just an ordinary A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality, if he didn't have a cheat-like ability, then Zheng Fan's mindset upon meeting Ling Yi might not be the same.
What mindset?
hostility...
In Zheng Fan's heart, he is the Protagonist of this world, and the future ruler of this world.
When a fellow villager suddenly appears, it feels like someone has suddenly come to "steal our territory."
Zheng Fan didn't take the initiative to interact with Ling Yi. He wanted to observe him secretly for a while to see what Ling Yi's special ability was and what his purpose was.
For two consecutive days, Zheng Fan came to Tongfu Inn every day, always staying in the same corner and silently observing everything.
Today, he finally discovered the difference.
Those who came today not only brought their families but also their friends, and most of them were Martial Practitioner.
Although there were Martial Practitioner before, a large portion of them were ordinary people.
Martial Practitioner, for the sake of livelihood and cultivation, cannot afford to listen to lectures every day; that would be a waste of time.
But today, almost all the listeners are Martial Practitioner, and Martial Practitioner levels are generally quite high, while there are no ordinary people at all.
This is very abnormal.
No matter how captivating Ling Yi's story may be, it's still just a story.
But Zheng Fan still doesn't know what exactly happened, or rather, what benefits these Martial Practitioner gained.
But it must be related to Ling Yi.
It wasn't until that evening that Zheng Fan finally discovered Ling Yi's storytelling secret.
It turns out that listening to Ling Yi tell stories allows one to comprehend the Kung Fu Hustle within them. Most importantly, this comprehension is somewhat similar to inheritance.
Once you grasp it, you can not only master the techniques or skills, but also attain the corresponding cultivation realm, without needing to cultivate at all.
The incident began when two Martial Practitioner fought fiercely in the middle of the night over the right to enter the Tongfu Inn. One of the Martial Practitioner used the Flying Catkin Movement Technique from the Misty Cloud Sect in the novel.
The other Martial Practitioner used the Heavy Ruler Eightfold, a combat skill of Great Emperor Xiao Huo in the story.
In the end, the Martial Practitioner Heavy Ruler Eightfold won.
As a constable, Zheng Fan naturally wouldn't let a fight go unpunished, so he arrested the two Martial Practitioner under the pretext of a street brawl.
Although the two received the inheritance, the Heavy Ruler Eightfold was only Xiao Huo's early-stage combat skill, and it was only a combat skill that did not increase his cultivation level.
The one who obtained the Misty Cloud Sect's Flying Catkin Movement Technique only possessed Entry technique; his strength wasn't even at the Acquired.
After capturing the two men, Zheng Fan extracted the reason for the incident from them.
It turns out that from the very first day, a Martial Practitioner named Zhou Xiaoxian obtained the Primordial Wilderness Force, which was one of the external martial arts techniques that Xiao Huo practiced when he was a child, and he had reached the Great Accomplishment Perfection stage.
Zhou Xiaoxian's strength jumped from Third Rate Martial Practitioner to the Mid Acquired.
After discovering Ling Yi's storytelling secret, Zhou Xiaoxian did not make a big fuss like the extras in novels. Instead, she quietly called her friends, his son, and her relatives together.
Zhou Xiaoxian didn't tell them the secret of Ling Yi's storytelling; she simply led them to Tongfu Inn.
Luck, several of Zhou Xiaoxian's friends and relatives gained some insights from their first listening to the story.
It's important to know that although the cultivation technique Xiao Huo practiced as a child wasn't of a high level in his fantasy world, it was still Supreme Pin technique among mortal Martial Practitioner.
The Xiao Clan is a prominent clan, so how could Xiao Huo's cultivation technique be inferior?
The external martial arts, internal martial arts, body movements, fist techniques, finger techniques, palm techniques, sword techniques, etc., are all of the finest quality.
Not only Zhou Xiaoxian and her group, but other Martial Practitioner also made gains.
But these people, like Zhou Xiaoxian, are trying their best to keep this secret.
Afterwards, Zhou Xiaoxian even gathered the Martial Practitioner had come to listen to the story together to discuss how to keep this secret.
The group quickly drafted an alliance agreement, which was not to be divulged, and set a whole host of rules.
Clearly, it was all in vain.
This kind of thing can't be kept secret.
You have relatives, I have friends; you have sects, I have gangs...
As more and more people find out, the secret ceases to be a secret.
These Martial Practitioner have come to regard Tongfu Inn as a sacred place and Ling Yi as a Martial Saint.
Of course, it wasn't that no one wanted to take action against Ling Yi, bringing Ling Yi to their own territory to promote their own forces.
However, most of the Martial Practitioner stopped them.
The reason is simple.
The story only works when told by Ling Yi; even if others Copy the story told by Ling Yi, it won't be effective.
Therefore, these Martial Practitioner concluded that Ling Yi was either a master, so masterful that his skill was Potian, and that storytelling was simply a way for Ling Yi to guide everyone.
Or perhaps this is just Ling Yi's special ability, Ling Yi himself is just an ordinary person.
Whether it's the former or the latter, it means that Ling Yi is untouchable.
If it's the former, then targeting the strong is tantamount to courting death.
If it's the latter, what if this effect disappears once Ling Yi is affected? Who can say for sure about such things?
Therefore, Martial Practitioner formed an unwritten rule that they must not cause trouble in Seven Heroes Town, especially at Tongfu Inn. Anyone who caused trouble would be attacked by the group.
As for the qualification to listen to the story, it must be obtained through the exchange of benefits or favors, or you can fight outside Seven Heroes Town, the winner gets in, and the loser has to wait for the next time.
The two guys Zheng Fan caught were a bit hot-tempered; they started fighting before even leaving Seven Heroes Town, which is why Zheng Fan caught them red-handed.
At this point, Zheng Fan basically knew what Ling Yi's cheat ability was.
However, there was one thing Zheng Fan couldn't understand: why were others able to gain the inheritance by listening to stories, while he received nothing?
It should be known that the top-tier techniques of Great Emperor Xiao Huo are like demons and gods. Mid-level experts can split Mountain Splitting and shatter rocks, and fly through the air Earth Escape. Top-level experts have completely reached the level of immortals and gods.
Zheng Fan himself was very much looking forward to it.
In comparison, his cheat ability is a level weaker; the techniques and skills he draws are all in the martial arts genre and cannot reach the level of fantasy.
After listening to the audiobook for half a month, Zheng Fan finally realized that he had no way to obtain the cultivation technique from Ling Yi.
As a result, the people who Tongfu Inn to listen to storytelling also rose in status.
For example, Yue Buqun, the leader of the Huashan Sect; Dongfang Bai, the leader of the Demon Palace Sun Moon Sect; Cihang Jingzhai Shi Feixuan, the Holy Maiden of Cihang Ximen Chuixue; Wanwan, the Little Demoness of the Demon Palace; Ximen Chuixue, the swordsman; Ye Gucheng; Dugu Ming, the Sword Saint; Nie Feng, the leader of the Fengyun Hall of the Tianxia Society; Nie Feng; Bu Jingyun, the Palace Yaoyue of the Flower Transferring Palace...
This is a Combined Martial Arts World, a "pieced-together" world that forcibly blends together many different martial arts worlds!
