BXBX NOVEL Chapter 176 - 149: Ma Long Becoming a Disciple! (Please Subscribe)
Some things, after experiencing them once, can be quite addictive.
Yun Mengxi was one of them.
Her personality was straightforward.
When she wanted to do something, she wouldn’t beat around the bush, maybe just blush a little when saying those words.
How could Xu Yang, a big man, resist such temptation?
He immediately closed the shop door, carried Yun Mengxi in a princess-style embrace, and used the “Land Flight Skill” to move upstairs…
Two hours later.
A man and a woman, hand in hand, walked down the stairs with satisfied looks on their faces.
As for what happened during these two hours, it is impossible to describe everything in detail, even with thousands of words.
“This little enchantress is quite a handful!”
Xu Yang secretly thought.
After all, Yun Mengxi was a zombie, with a strong physical body and excellent constitution, tirelessly working for almost two hours without a break.
Xu Yang even felt somewhat fortunate.
If he hadn’t awakened his system and obtained many “Physique+1” upgrades from Yun Mengxi, as well as the “Golden Spear Won’t Fall+1” from the Lust Demon-
Let alone two hours.
He would probably be defeated by Yun Mengxi’s craziness within twenty minutes!
Returning to the first floor, Xu Yang reopened the door of the shop and, sitting at the counter, thought, “It seems like I’ll have to find more Lust Demons later…to earn more virtue points…”
Just then, a Mercedes stopped at the entrance of the funeral shop.
The driver’s door opened.
A pair of shiny black leather shoes emerged from the car.
He appeared to be in his fifties or sixties, with a goatee under his chin, greying hair combed back and fixed with gel, wearing a tailored black Armani suit.
Xu Yang couldn’t see with his eyes, but with a sweep of his spiritual power, he immediately knew the identity of the visitor.
He got up and greeted, “Elder Wang, why are you dressed so sharply today?”
“Don’t even mention it!”
Elder Wang complained, “The dean of the academy introduced me to a blind date, a relative of his, who’s been divorced for over a decade… I couldn’t refuse, so I came to Wu City to meet her… but she won’t leave my car.”
Xu Yang couldn’t help but laugh.
With that outfit.
Plus a million-yuan Mercedes GLE300, even in a small city like Wu City, you could hook plenty of gold-digging young ladies, let alone older women.
Elder Wang noticed Xu Yang’s eyes and the mysterious light flickering within. He took a closer look and asked, “What happened to your eyes? Did you see something you shouldn’t have?”
“It’s hard to explain…”
Xu Yang laughed bitterly, saying, “Elder Wang, let’s go in and talk.”
Once inside the shop, Xu Yang recounted his attempt to use his “Heavenly Eye” to look at Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum.
“You’re so lucky!”
Elder Wang exclaimed, “Daring to spy on Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum… Back then, when Emperor Qin Shi Huang died, the world was shaken, hundreds of thousands of heroic spirits guarded his tomb, and even the Underworld Palace couldn’t take him in. You, as a mere Entering Dao Realm, dared to spy on Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum, surviving is all due to sheer luck!”
Hundreds of thousands of heroic spirits?
Xu Yang was secretly shocked.
How many people lived in Wu City?
According to the 2018 census of registered population, there were 1.4154 million permanent residents in Wu City, including counties, towns, and rural areas under its jurisdiction. In Wu City itself, there were just about 300,000 people.
That wasn’t even as many as the number of heroic spirits guarding Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Tomb!
Elder Wang lifted Xu Yang’s eyelids, examined them, and said, “This is a backlash from using your Heavenly Eye. Maybe it’s just a slight punishment from a leading heroic spirit for your intrusion. You’ll probably recover in about seven days.”
Then, he couldn’t help but marvel, “However, you’ve really surprised me this time… Participating in the Daoist Skills Conference, you defeated eleven members of the Lu Shan Sect, including elders and disciples, entered the Entering Dao realm with a thunderous force, and attracted attention from miles away. You even drew Daoist talismans in public, creating dozens of them in just twenty minutes. Any one of these events would be enough to shake the martial world, but I never expected that they were all accomplished by you in just a few short days!”
Xu Yang said modestly, “Actually, I was just improvising on the spot. I didn’t expect it to have such a significant impact. I can’t believe even you, Elder Wang, heard about it!”
“Nonsense!”
Wang Defa scolded, “With today’s advanced technology and convenient communication, the news has spread all over the martial world. The descendant of Baixiao Sheng has been posting about you on the martial world forum in recent days. Who in the martial world doesn’t know the name of Xu Yang, the Northwest Hammer King?”
“All, this…”
Xu Yang was taken aback.
Xu Yang, the Northwest Hammer King?
Why did it sound so odd?
Elder Wang then changed the subject and asked, “What’s your secret?”
“I’m well aware of your talent and bone structure… It should’ve been hard for you to even cultivate Daoism, let alone enter the Dao realm. Otherwise, your grandpa wouldn’t have kept the Daoist skills from you for so long.”
He scrutinized Xu Yang from head to toe.
A look of suspicion was all over his face.
“I remember seeing you the year after your grandpa passed away, and you were still an ordinary person without the cultivation of Daoism… When we met some time ago, you were already at the fifth level of the Qi Refining Realm. It was shocking yet somewhat believable, given that you said you had some special chances. ”
“But now, within just a few weeks, you’ve jumped from the fifth level of the Qi Refining Realm to the mid-stage of the Entering Dao Realm. It’s simply ridiculous!”
Elder Wang couldn’t help but swear, which indicated his astonishment, “And the most exaggerated part is… you managed to successfully draw dozens of high-level Daoist talismans, like Diamond Talisman, Movement Talisman, Divine Strength Talisman, and Suppress Evil and Break Malevolent Energies Talisman in just twenty minutes! How did you do it?”
Xu Yang’s public talisman drawing during the “Ghost Catching Competition” was witnessed by many people, so it made sense for news of it to spread.
Most importantly, Xu Yang didn’t realize his talent in talisman drawing at that time.
After all, he had taught himself this skill.
He casually tried and failed a dozen times before succeeding.
He hadn’t told him how difficult drawing talismans could be… He thought everyone was the same!
But now, Xu Yang had already realized his abnormal talent for drawing talismans. Hearing Elder Wang say this, he could only say: “Perhaps Heaven saw my poor talent for cultivating Daoism and thus gave me a tiny bit of talent for drawing talismans.”
Elder Wang: “…”
What kind of poor talent for Daoism!
You managed to cultivate from the fifth level of the Qi Refining Realm to the middle stages of the Entering Dao Realm in just over twenty days, and your talent for Daoism is poor?
Alright.
It’s true this guy used to have a poor innate talent… but is it really just “a tiny bit” of talent for drawing talismans?
After complaining for a while, Elder Wang sighed, “Sometimes I really doubt if you’ve been possessed by the soul of a powerful expert in your past life.”
“Huh?”
Xu Yang quickly said, “Elder Wang, don’t say such a thing. I am me, how could I be possessed?”
“Of course I knowyou’re not possessed.”
Old Wang glared at Xu Yang and said, “My eyesight is good enough to know that… By the way, didn’t you say you have a friend who has an Extremely Yin Body? Where is he?”
Xu Yang was delighted.
Ma Long’s problem had been bothering him for a long time.
The key was that Liu Shishi said that if Ma Long could cultivate the Underworld Palace’s Daoist Arts, his Extremely Yin Body could be activated, and by then he would be even more attractive to the Yin spirits and malevolent beings!
Having been busy with the Daoist skills conference and not having the time earlier, Xu Yang now heard Elder Wang asking to meet Ma Long and immediately said: “Elder Wang, please wait a moment; I’ll call him right now to come and pay his respects to his master!”
“Wait!”
Elder Wang raised his hand to stop Xu Yang and said, “Xu Yang, accepting a disciple is a big deal. Don’t mention it to your friend just yet. Let him come here, and I’ll test him to see what his character is like.”
“I understand, I understand.”
Xu Yang nodded repeatedly, but his heart was in a panic.
Ma Long’s character was of course unquestionable. Although he liked to play around, smoke, drink, flirt with girls, go clubbing, and have contact with nightclub dancers, in his core, he was not a bad person.
But the test…
Considering this guy’s thought process, who knew what kind of trouble he could cause!
“I should give him a heads-up in advance…”
As he secretly made up his mind, Xu Yang dialed Ma Long’s video call while walking outside, preparing to quietly say a few words of caution. However, seeing through Xu Yang’s intentions, Elder Wang quickly pointed to a chair beside him and said, “Call him here.”
Xu Yang had no choice but to sit down beside Elder Wang.
Soon.
The video was connected.
On the other end of the phone, a drowsy Ma Long asked, “What’s up, Xu Yang? Are you back from Xi’an?”
He was still asleep.
Lying on a soft mattress.
On his left side, a girl was asleep.
On his right side, another girl was soundly asleep.
Since it was summer and hot, it was normal to kick off the blanket while sleeping, and it was even possible not to cover up. Therefore, what one would see would be a shining, white view!
Xu Yang hurriedly tried to switch the video call to an audio call.
However…
It was too late.
Elder Wang leaned over and saw the scene, a flash of light passing in his eyes.
“Ma Long, get up quickly and come to my shop. I have urgent business with you.”
Xu Yang quickly spoke and then hurriedly hung up the call, explaining, “Elder Wang, don’t misunderstand… My friend is usually quite clean and honest; you know… It’s quite normal for a young man to have some needs.”
Elder Wang stroked his goatee, saying indifferently, “No harm done. When I accept a disciple, I look at their character and morality. We can ignore the extraneous things.”
About 30 minutes later.
Ma Long’s BMW stopped in front of the funeral store.
He was wearing a large T-shirt on his upper body and flowered shorts on his lower body, 173 cm tall, weighing 180 pounds, with naturally dark skin. Having spent years living in the mountains and herding sheep, he was even darker.
He had a black bag tucked under his crotch with a hint of red at the mouth. It looked like a pack of Chinese cigarettes.
With strides like a meteor, Ma Long entered the shop and complained, “Xu Yang, what’s the hurry? I haven’t even managed to get rid of the two girls I brought home from the club last night before I rushed over here!”
A club?
Girls?
Two of them?
Elder Wang secretly nodded… This disciple can be accepted!
Xu Yang didn’t know Elder Wang’s thoughts and quickly stood up to give Ma Long a signal.
However, as soon as he opened his eyes, there was a burst of stabbing pain. So he coughed and said: “Ahem… So, Ma Long, let me introduce you, this is Elder Wang.”
“Elder Wang?”
Ma Long looked over and furrowed his eyebrows, as if deep in thought, “This old man seems so familiar…”
Suddenly clapping his hands, he exclaimed, shouted, and laughed while looking at Old Wang, “Right, I knew he looked familiar! Elder, we’ve met before… I used to visit Xu Yang’s shop and often saw you playing chess with Xu Yang’s grandpa. If I’m not mistaken, you should be Old Wang selling funeral materials on the street, right?”
