Chapter 241: Luo Han Fist

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou had heard that the Demon Suppression Pass was notorious for its rampant looting, with people often buying goods at the chamber of commerce only to be robbed in the dense forest.

They had originally intended to falsely report their cultivation levels to lure the bandits into taking the bait.

As it turned out, they didn't lure any bandits; instead, they attracted a group of self-recommended bodyguards.

"Among bodyguards at the Foundation Establishment stage, we have the best reviews. Our prices are reasonable, our service attitude is attentive, and we have established long-term cooperative relationships with several half-step Jin Dan stage demon beasts, solving the problems of intelligence transmission and safety in the dense forest to the greatest extent."

"If the two young heroes' noble families or sects have assigned tasks for your training, we can even customize three sets of plans for you to choose from, at no extra charge."

The hook-nosed leader was still enthusiastically promoting his bodyguard service.

"How many spirit stones does it cost to hire you?" Meng Jingzhou asked with great interest; they needed to understand the dense forest as much as possible, and these local snakes knew a lot of intelligence.

They didn't need bodyguards, but they could serve as guides.

Seeing that the two had an extraordinary temperament and their speech was not like that of ordinary people, the hook-nosed leader guessed they had a significant background and held up five fingers.

"Five hundred thousand spirit stones? Not expensive."

The hook-nosed leader was shocked; what he wanted to say was fifty thousand spirit stones, and if the other

party thought it was expensive, the price could still be lowered.

He hadn't expected this wealthy young master to increase the price tenfold directly, without even blinking an eye.

Meng Jingzhou took out two hundred thousand spirit stones, piling them into a small hill: "Give you two hundred

thousand first, and settle the balance after it's over. If the service satisfies this young master, this young master will add more."

"You two just wait and see, our service is absolutely worth more than the price!" The five men's eyes glowed upon seeing so many spirit stones.

They had never encountered such a wealthy patron.

"Strange, do you all feel that it's getting more and more stuffy here?" Meng Jingzhou shook the clothes on his chest, feeling it was very hot here.

"I have that feeling too." Lu Yang was also puzzled.

The hook-nosed leader said gloomily: "Could it be that since the seven of us are in the dungeon, the air is about to be sucked dry by us?"

The dungeon was underground and airtight; by the time the seven of them finished talking, the oxygen was almost all sucked up.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou released the spell restraints, and the seven returned to the surface.

"Old Turtle, come out, the terms have all been negotiated." The hook-nosed leader called out.

A millstone-sized old turtle slowly crawled over from not far away, exuding power unlike that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment stage.

Lu Yang guessed that the battle with a half-step Jin Dan stage that the Five Heroes of Eagle Mountain spoke of was exactly this old turtle.

You guys have a complete cast of actors, even having a demon beast.

"This is Old Turtle; there is a small lake ahead, and Old Turtle is the lord occupying one-fifth of it," the hook-nosed leader introduced.

Old Turtle shook its head and wagged its tail: "Little Eagle, I've told you before that this set of rhetoric of yours is like robbery, easily causing misunderstandings. I saw it from afar; these two young heroes are geniuses who can cast 'Drawing a Ground as a Prison', so why would they need you as bodyguards?"

"That was really 'Drawing a Ground as a Prison'?" The five were greatly shocked; before, they were only guessing,

not daring to assert, as it could have been a life-saving means given by their sect.

After all, a spell like 'Drawing a Ground as a Prison' not only existed in legends, but the difficulty of cultivation was also outrageously high; it was almost impossible for someone at the Foundation Establishment stage to master it.

"Old Turtle has a good eye; what I cast was indeed 'Drawing a Ground as a Prison'." Lu Yang hurriedly admitted,

causing Meng Jingzhou to roll his eyes.

"Two young heroes, I wonder what your purpose in coming to the dense forest is..."

"To challenge demon beasts. We have long heard that demon beasts are rampant here, with no lack of ancient remnants, possessing strong and fierce power. We hope to hone ourselves by fighting these demon beasts."

The hook-nosed leader nodded; this was indeed a very common reason.

"I wonder what level of demon beasts the two young heroes want to challenge? Is it the kind that has just entered the late Foundation Establishment stage, or the veteran late Foundation Establishment stage?"

"Jin Dan stage."

"Jin Dan stage?!" Including Old Turtle, the five men and one beast were all exclaiming.

"The two of you must not boast wildly; the gap between the Foundation Establishment stage and the Jin Dan stage

is like a chasm, how can it be easily crossed? Moreover, living in the dense forest for a long time, whether it is humans or demon beasts, their strikes are quite ruthless and cannot be viewed as ordinary!" Old Turtle reminded; it also knew that these two were big spenders, and if protected well, there would be no shortage of spirit stones.

"Don't talk about the Jin Dan stage; the two of you might not even be able to beat me!" Old Turtle said calmly; it had stayed at the half-step Jin Dan stage for a long time, was experienced, and had astonishing defensive power. If that tiger demon that refined the ghost servant were resurrected, it would also be unable to break its defense.

"Then let's try." Meng Jingzhou smiled, loosening his muscles and bones.

Without revealing his strength, the Jin Dan stage demon beasts these people found for him wouldn't be too strong, failing to achieve the effect of training.

The crowd came to the side of the small lake, with Old Turtle and Meng Jingzhou standing at both ends.

"Begin!" Lu Yang announced the start.

Old Turtle took two deep breaths, circulating the cultivation technique inherent in its bloodline. A golden mark faintly appeared on its turtle shell, meaning it was a descendant of the ancient demon beast, the Heaven-Reaching Turtle. The ancient Heaven-Reaching Turtle was known for its defensive power, and it was fortunate to have inherited this characteristic from its ancestor.

"If you can't even break my defense, don't mention..."

"Luo Han Fist!"

Meng Jingzhou took a big step forward, his legs like a bow, his upper body like an arrow feather.

His body was tense, exerting force suddenly, striking the turtle shell. The golden mark collapsed, and Old Turtle flew sideways for a long distance.

It was like a skipped stone, bouncing several times on the lake surface before plunging into the lake.

Seeing this scene, the Five Heroes of Eagle Mountain had their mouths agape for a long time without closing.

Old Turtle was known for its defensive power; the five of them couldn't break its defense even by joining forces, yet it was knocked over by Meng Jingzhou with a single punch?

This small lake also housed four other half-step Jin Dan stage demon beasts, who shared the ownership of the small lake with Old Turtle. Seeing Old Turtle being knocked away, they were even more shocked.

"Luo Han Fist? I haven't seen you use it before, did you just learn it?" Lu Yang was curious.

"Master said that part of the inspiration for his 'Six Heaven-Shaking Styles' came from the Luo Han Fist, and he wanted me to learn the Luo Han Fist as well, which would be helpful for cultivating the 'Six Heaven-Shaking Styles'."

"I heard that if the Luo Han Fist is cultivated to the supreme realm, one can attain the Luo Han fruit status; perhaps you can succeed." Lu Yang teased.

"Forget it, attain the Luo Han fruit status? You might as well just let me become a monk."

"There's not much difference between you being like this and being a monk."

"Get lost. I was still thinking about breaking my vows and unleashing my true self after becoming an immortal."

Breaking the pure Yang state meant that the cultivation speed would drop significantly. Becoming an immortal was the pinnacle of cultivation, so it wouldn't matter what the cultivation speed was.

"Luo Han Fist, huh..." The Immortal of Immortality, who hadn't spoken for a long time, heard the keyword and didn't know what memories it evoked.

"Does the Immortal also know the Luo Han Fist?" Actually, Lu Yang quite wanted to learn a new fist technique; currently, he only knew the Zoomorphic Fist.

The Immortal of Immortality showed a look of disdain: "What is the Luo Han Fist? I've never even heard of it. This Immortal knows a more advanced fist technique; after learning it, it points directly to the Luo Han fruit status. Are you going to learn it or not?"

"What fist technique?"

"Luo Han Fruit Fist."

Lu Yang: "..." Is the effect to clear heat and moisten the lungs, benefit the throat and open the voice?"

"How did you know?" The Immortal of Immortality was very surprised. Could it be that Lu Yang had practiced it? ===== CHAPTER 242 =====
