Chapter 36

When the enormous skeleton appeared, everyone in the hall gasped. The black tiger even let out a low growl and ran wildly upstairs with its tail drooping, clearly frightened.

The changes in the expressions of the little boy and the middle-aged man were the most significant, shifting from haughty to respectful in the blink of an eye.

"Please wait a moment, I will go and inform the master."

"Sister, did you kill her yourself?" The little boy's round eyes shone brightly, his admiration undisguised.

Admiring the strong is a human instinct.

"Yeah, easy to kill," Fu Le boasted.

Although it was thrilling, it was actually quite easy to kill.

"Wow... Sister, you're so powerful!!" Before the little boy could say anything, someone had already come over.

A middle-aged man followed a bald old man down the stairs. The old man was dressed in a black robe, and his spirit was high. He really had a kind of otherworldly air about him, and he had the demeanor of a master.

The old man excitedly walked to the skeleton, his cloudy eyes lingering on every part of it, not even missing the sharp claws. It was clear that he was very satisfied.

After a long while, the old man's gaze finally fell on Fu Le. "I will build you what you want. This entire skeleton is the price."

“Okay.” Fu Le looked at Bai Ji, who nodded and readily agreed.

"Is the bird's beak in your hands?"

"yes."

"I also need three more beaks. Do you have any?" the old man asked calmly.

“Of course.” Fu Le waved his hand, and Sanfu’s complete beak reappeared in the hall.

Bai Ji and Su Qun exchanged a glance, both seeing shock and disbelief in each other's eyes.

This lone traveler is probably much stronger than they imagined.

"You killed the three-headed Kui bird, what about the other skeletons?" The old man looked at Fu Le with admiration. If such a powerful martial artist were to manage the city's defenses, they would have no fear of death.

"One weapon should be enough for me, right?" Fu Le asked in return.

"One set, and I'll give you 100,000 gold coins, is that alright?"

Fu Le: !!!

Wait, let me calculate.

A moment later, Fu Le exchanged 300,000 taels of gold, which is equivalent to ten tons of gold!

"Come pick it up in five days, and I will tailor-make a weapon that suits you."

Fu Le responded, "Could I add another puppet beast? It would make my travels easier."

Bai Ji once said that weapon makers can create puppet beasts, which are made from animal skeletons and can be manually operated by the user with a small amount of strength.

"Well, consider these materials a gift from me. These three skeletons are exactly what I've been looking for recently. You've come to my rescue."

"Thank you, Elder Xue."

In the future, who knows how many more crises await her? She must do everything in her power to acquire the best weapons.

On the return journey.

"Fu, do you still want the manual for opening martial arts acupoints?"

"Of course," Fu Le replied enthusiastically.

This time, the destination was not the city center, but the suburbs, less than ten miles from the city gate.

In the narrow, dimly lit room, a pale face appeared through the open iron door. It was a short, thin man with no beard or hair, probably less than 1.6 meters tall. Fu Le looked down and saw a scene of only thighs and no calves, which made him pause in surprise.

“Wu Luo, my friend, lost his calf and foot in last year’s beast tide. After that, he went into seclusion here. Before the accident, he was the highest-ranking martial artist in Wancheng. His skills were also top-notch in Wancheng. Now they have been collected by the city lord in the martial arts museum. Only those with the highest talent are qualified to learn them,” Bai Ji sighed.

Wu Luo didn't speak, but stared intently at Bai Ji. "This is the buyer you found?"

Wu Luo's scrutinizing gaze made Fu Le's skin crawl, as if he were being stared at by a ferocious beast.

What Fu Le didn't know was that this was because Wu Luo had restrained her aura; if she had unleashed her full power, she would have been unable to get up from the ground.

Fu Le initially thought it was immoral for Bai Ji to reopen old wounds in front of his friend, but after hearing Wu Luo's words, he realized that selling the cloth register was something Wu Luo had asked him to do.

"Yes, this is Lady Lone Wanderer. Before she came to Wancheng, she personally killed four Kui Birds," Bai Ji said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Wu Luo raised an eyebrow in surprise, his suspicious gaze undisguised.

Fu Le: ...

Feeling looked down upon, should she angrily leave?

But the strongest martial artist in Wancheng—once this opportunity is gone, it's gone forever.

"Come in." Just as Fu Le was filled with all sorts of strange ideas, Wu Luo spoke.

In Wu Luo's room, the walls were bare. A cloth mat lay on the stone bed, along with a stone basin, a stone mortar, an iron pot, an iron basin, and a spoon.

Even mice have to grumble and curse when they come.

However, when a stack of cloth books appeared out of thin air in Wu Luo's hand, Fu Le put away his pity. After all, a martial artist who was once so powerful could not have no savings, and this was the space bracelet.

"All my martial arts manuals are here. I want three sets of Kui bird skeletons and a hundred dan of millet."

Bai Ji stared at her old friend in astonishment. Before Fu Le could speak, she pulled Wu Luo over and said, "Didn't you say you were just exchanging the basic martial arts manual for opening martial acupoints and a leg technique? And this price is too high. Three sets would cost 300,000 gold, and she might not even have that much."

“I’m preparing to leave here. These martial arts manuals are all in the museum. I’m not selling them, and there’s no point in keeping them for myself.”

"Where are you going? I..."

"Let's not talk about this now, I'll talk to her first." Bai Ji's next words were cut off.

"Do you agree to this price?" Wu Luo stared intently at Fu Le.

"It's not impossible for me to agree, but you have to set aside nine days to guide me. In other words, you have to follow me wherever I go during these nine days. If you can't, then there will be one less skeleton."

"Three days," the man said after a moment's thought.

“Then reduce the number of skeletons by one. You should know that no one in this city would want to have so many Kui Bird skeletons like me, while also needing your Martial Arts Manual’s people.”

"make a deal."

When they saw Fu Le taking out the bones again, Bai Ji and Su Qun were beyond shocked to describe their feelings.

They had considered that there might be more, but they didn't expect there to be so many.

Judging from Fu's expression, she didn't seem to feel any pain at all.

Something flashed in Baiji's eyes, but it vanished before anyone could catch it.

Since an agreement had been reached, Wu Luo simply packed his things and moved into the courtyard rented by Fu Le. The house was bright and clean, with four rooms, which was just enough for him to live in.

For three days, Fu Le did not step out of the courtyard for even a minute, and spent almost all his time following Wu Luo's instructions. When the three days were up, Wu Luo left behind a self-written book of insights and left.

indoor.

Fu Le circulated the meager internal energy within his body, and internally examined the seven orifices that had been forcibly opened, which were as small as hair roots.

The top of the head, the center of the forehead, the heart, the lungs, the dantian, and the soles of the feet are collectively known as the seven orifices. Wu Luo personally poured his energy into Fu Le's body to forcefully open these orifices. Later, as the level increases, the orifices will grow larger, with the largest being the size of an eyeball, which is Wu Luo's current level, the top level nine.

Wu Luo himself didn't know what would happen after reaching the ninth dan level. His trip to the capital city, Suicheng, was to pursue the top.

He only lost his lower limbs, not his meridians, so even though he had been retired for a year, he was not discouraged.

It is said that if one can surpass the ninth level, severed limbs can regenerate, which is what he seeks on this journey.
