Chapter 22: Zhu's Probing

Lin Fan estimated that if he wanted to practice the Dragon Divine Art to the seventh level, it would take at least ten years. He wondered if there were any shortcuts.

Perhaps only the diary system could help Lin Fan; otherwise, relying on his own cultivation was simply too slow.

Because in the entire comprehensive martial arts world, Lin Fan's talent could only be considered average. Even after merging with Dali Duan Dali Duan Zhengchun's template, his talent was only "excellent," far from "good talent," let alone the "genius," "ghost talent," "immortal talent," and "divine talent" that followed.

According to Lin Fan's estimation, whether it was Yin Zhong or Tong Bo, they were at least at the level of "ghost talent" or "immortal talent." His Dragon Divine Art was still far behind in front of them, especially that old immortal Yin Zhong. He wondered if he was currently an Earthly Immortal or had shattered the void. He was probably still an Earthly Immortal, after all, his injuries were severe.

After finishing the sword art, Lin Fan practiced his movement techniques. Now his sword art, spear art, and movement techniques were all top-tier, and the One-Yang Finger was barely enough. What he lacked was actually a hard-body cultivation technique.

However, most hard-body techniques had a great impact on body shape, and Lin Fan didn't want to learn them for the time being. He would wait until he encountered the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art later.

As for Huang Rong and Lv He, they quietly went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Zhu and Zhu Abi also prepared tea for Lin Fan, preventing him from being thirsty after practicing. It had to be said that the two young ladies had adapted to their roles as maids very quickly.

When Lin Fan finished his practice and returned to the pavilion, he found the tea prepared by Zhu and Zhu Abi, and Lin Fan smiled. Life was pretty good.

South Murong Fu, oh South Murong Fu, you are single-mindedly focused on restoring your country; you cannot be distracted at this time. Women will only affect your great cause.

I am different; I am a salted fish. Let them all come to bother me. Your two maids and cousin will all be taken care of by me. You can rest assured and prepare to revive Great Yan!

Zhu and Zhu Abi were very easy to use, and Lin Fan would never return them to South Murong Fu.

Not only that, Lin Fan's first stop in the Jianghu would be Mantuo Villa, preparing to take Wang Wang Yuyan away.

A living dictionary of martial arts, how could he let her remain depressed all day? Lin Fan had to go save her.

"Young Master, I remember when you fought Yang Gang today, you seemed to use a finger technique. Was that the One-Yang Finger of the Dali Dali Duan family?"

Zhu thoughtfully massaged Lin Fan's shoulders and then asked as if casually. ===== CHAPTER 37 =====

"Your eye for detail is good. You haven't visited the 'Return to the Pavilion' library often, have you? That was indeed the Dali Dali Duan family's One-Yang Finger."

"Young Master, most of the martial arts in the 'Return to the Pavilion' library are quite ordinary, mostly ranging from third-rate to first-rate. There are very few secret manuals or peerless arts, and there is no One-Yang Finger."

Lin Fan didn't expect that the 'Return to the Pavilion' library didn't even have the One-Yang Finger. Could it be that it was filled with common martial arts? That would be of little help to him. Even the worst techniques he possessed, like the One-Yang Finger and the Jade Flute Sword Art, were at the level of secret manuals.

The Dragon Divine Art he practiced belonged to the Immortal Scriptures, and the martial arts within it were all peerless divine arts. Looking at those others was meaningless.

That wasn't quite right either; it was just the 'Return to the Pavilion' library. The martial arts inside were just copies the South Murong family had made from the Langhuan Jade Cave. He estimated the only valuable ones were the Finger of Participation, the Shift of Stars, and the Dragon City Sword Art.

The Langhuan Blessed Land was where Wuyazi and Li Li Qiushui had collected martial arts from all sects under heaven, which were later moved to the Langhuan Jade Cave at Mantuo Villa.

It was said that apart from the Shaolin Yi Jin Jing, the Dali Dali Duan family's Six Meridians Divine Sword, and the Beggar Sect's Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms, they had almost everything.

Of course, that was in the original work. In this comprehensive martial arts world, the number of missing martial arts was countless.

Things like the Longevity Secret, the God of War Record, the Tai Xuan Sutra, the Dragon Divine Art, the Great Sorrowful Scripture of Heaven and Earth, the Sword Separating the World, and the Four Symbols of Heaven's Will were definitely not there.

After all, Wuyazi and Li Li Qiushui might only be Grandmasters, or at most Great Grandmasters. Wanting to collect all the peerless arts of the comprehensive martial arts world was simply a pipe dream. At least an Earthly Immortal would have a chance.

Unfortunately, apart from cheaters like Lin Fan, Earthly Immortals had cultivated step by step from unranked martial artists, and by the end, they had all walked their own paths and had no interest in collecting other martial arts.

"The One-Yang Finger is only a secret manual. If you want to learn it, I can teach you. The Dali Duan family's Six Meridians Divine Sword is a bit interesting; if I have the chance, I might learn it."

"Young Master, the Six Meridians Divine Sword is the secret of the Dali Dali Duan family that is not passed on. If you want to learn it, I'm afraid you'll have to steal it!" Zhu couldn't help but remind Lin Fan.

"What stealing? Borrowing to read. Can the affairs of a scholar be called robbery or theft?"

Lin Fan quickly corrected Zhu's words. How could she make him sound like a bad person?

"Young Master, how would someone let you borrow their peerless art? I'm afraid you'll have to fight your way to their door. I don't know if the Dali Duan family has any experts."

"What experts could the Dali Duan family have? Dali Duan Zhengming, the Emperor, is busy with government affairs and neglects martial arts. Dali Duan Dali Duan Zhengchun is lecherous by nature and even created a set of 'Five-Colored Light Smoke Palms' to coax women. It's simply nonsensical. This palm technique is probably only good for tearing women's clothes."

Speaking of Dali Duan Dali Duan Zhengchun, Lin Fan felt a bit resentful. This old rogue had decent martial arts talent, but instead of trying to practice the One-Yang Finger to a profound level to learn the Six Meridians Divine Sword, he created the Five-Colored Light Smoke Palms to pick up girls. Lin Fan was embarrassed to even mention it.

After all, the only template Lin Fan had inherited was Dali Duan Dali Duan Zhengchun's, and he knew all the messy martial arts he had learned.

Zhu was both shy and happy. She was happy to learn more news about her father, Dali Duan Dali Duan Zhengchun, and shy because Lin Fan seemed to hold Dali Duan Dali Duan Zhengchun in contempt.

"Prince Dali Duan of Dali is famous in the Jianghu; it's impossible that he only has this much strength, right?"

"What famous in the Jianghu? Wandering through flower beds is more like it. His One-Yang Finger is only at the fifth grade, the Dali Duan family sword art is hard to describe, and the Five-Colored Light Smoke Palms are nonsensical. Apart from having five beautiful daughters, there is nothing else worth mentioning about him!"

Lin Fan said with disdain. This old guy didn't practice his martial arts properly, causing him to not inherit anything good. Even that cripple Dali Duan Dali Duan Yanqing had better martial arts than him.

"He has five beautiful daughters? Young Master, you're lying to me. He clearly only has one son named Dali Duan Yu!"

Zhu's eyes rolled, and she immediately pretended to be angry.

"You know Dali Duan Yu? He should be as weak as a chicken right now, right?"

Lin Fan looked at Zhu suspiciously. Dali Duan Yu shouldn't have started walking the Jianghu yet.

"After all, he is a Dali royal, the Prince of Zhennan. Who doesn't know him? I know him too!" Zhu Abi quickly spoke up to help Zhu out.

"What you know is only on the surface. Would I tell you if he had no sons and only five daughters? Oh, maybe he had a son once, but he might have been strangled by his mother. I don't know if it's true or not."

He almost forgot that the bitch Kang Min was also one of Dali Duan Dali Duan Zhengchun's women, but she was different from his other women; she was lecherous by nature.

During the Apricot Forest incident, she personally admitted that she had given birth to a son for Dali Duan Dali Duan Zhengchun, but because she was pregnant before marriage and Dali Duan Dali Duan Zhengchun had not returned for a long time, she had cruelly strangled her own child. ===== CHAPTER 38 =====
