YM778.TV Chapter 19 - 19 19: Ning A:K2523, The Power of Fire Manipulation Skill!
Mr. Lin was an elder of the Lu Shan Sect!
And the Lu Shan Sect, in the southern China region, was definitely a top-tier power, especially having a considerable influence in Fujian Province, Canton Province, Bay Island, and Southeast Asia!
Twenty years ago, the Lu Shan Sect expanded into the inland areas.
Nowadays, it had established a firm footing in the inland areas, controlling the sacred Daoist site of Xishan Wanshou Palace, with countless experts in the sect.
Mr. Lin was a master in the realm of Daoism, comparable to the Innate Realm in martial arts, and the man before him was Mr. Lins senior brother, who was even more powerful.
Wang Wei immediately stood up and recounted the events that had transpired that day.
A strand of Yin energy, killing someone in the realm of Daoism from a distance this level of strength might have reached the Ghost Kings realm!
He frowned and said, Why did your master go and provoke a Ghost King for no reason?
Wang Weis mouth gaped, wanting to curse.
For no reason?
Heck, my master died doing something for your Lu Shan Sect!
He suppressed the grief and indignation in his heart, and said, Senior, my master was entrusted by Mr. Lin to go to a funeral store in Wu City to retrieve something, but he was attacked there!
Oh?
The hunchbacked and lame old mans gaze shifted slightly, and he asked, Did you get the item?
Wang Wei shook his head and replied, We dug up the mans tomb according to Mr. Lins instructions, but we found nothing Mr. Lin guessed that the item might still be in the funeral store.
By the way, senior.
I brought back the remains of that man, which are now stored in the funeral home.
He walked out of the memorial hall and quickly returned with a large bag.
Upon opening it, there was a pile of bones inside!
Humph!
The old man only glanced at it and said, These are definitely not that mans bones What kind of cultivation level did he have in his prime?
Even if he was injured and his cultivation level declined, his bones couldnt have decayed so quickly after his death.
Moreover
Its not even certain whether hes really dead or just pretending to be dead!
He paused for a moment and asked, I heard that man had a grandson?
Yes.
Wang Wei continued, His name is Xu Yang, he is 22 years old, and was adopted by that man. He runs a funeral store on Yumin Street in Wu City. Mr. Lin has seen him and said that Xu Yang is an ordinary person who has not practiced Daoist skills or martial arts.
Xu Yang?
Does Junior Brother Lin suspect that the mans relics were left to Xu Yang?
The hunchbacked and lame old man said indifferently, Since thats the case, you should try to make contact with Xu Yangif you can retrieve that item, I will take you as my disciple!
Our Lu Shan Sect has a history of more than a thousand years, and we are not just proficient in Daoist skills. The sect possesses numerous profound martial arts, and with your merits, it is not impossible for you to be cultivated into a martial arts Grandmaster!
Ning A:K2523!
Yu Town.
Dawa Elementary School.
In the car, Xu Yang took a deep breath.
He had found the license plate number!
Ning A its a car from Silver City.
Our Wu City is not far from Silver City, and there are quite a few Ning City cars around here The cars in Lingzhou City also have Ning A license plates.
With the license plate number known.
It would be much simpler to investigate.
As long as the license plate number wasnt fake, a phone call to have the car moved would take a maximum of 2 minutes to reach the cars owner.
Xu Yang dialed the car-moving number but hung up again.
This matter needs careful consideration Setting aside that I dont know who the other party is, if I startle them and they scatter my grandpas ashes, wouldnt I be unfilial?
Outside the car window.
Lady Taozi said, Master, we are leaving now, why dont we go back to Wu City together?
Hmm?
Xu Yang asked in surprise, How do you know Im from Wu City?
The license plate number!
Master, your license plate number is Ning C!
Ning C, its the license plate of Wu City.
Xu Yang was stunned, then smiled and said, Alright, lets go together.
Lady Taozi seemed to really want to get in Xu Yangs car, but was still somewhat fearful in the end.
She crawled into her own car and it quickly started.
Xu Yang followed behind.
Driving on the night roads was slow, especially with the speed limits. Bored, Xu Yang couldnt help but think of Lady Ghost and muttered to himself, The next time I go on a long journey, I must bring Lady Ghost along to help me drive.
By the time he returned to the funeral store, it was already 3 am.
Lady Ghost was still watching television. Seeing Xu Yang returning, she twisted her head 180 degrees to glance at him, then turned back again.
Xu Yang washed up and hurried back to his bedroom.
System!
He whispered in his mind.
The system attribute panel emerged.
[Name]: Xu Yang
[Age]: 22 years old
[Daoist Arts]: Divine Ascension Scripture
[Daoist Skills]: Fire Manipulation Skill
[Cultivation]: Qi Refining Realm, Third Layer
[Daoist Artifact]: None for now
[Merit Points]: 538 points.
[Storage Space]: 10 cubic yards
Seeing the number behind the Merit Points column, Xu Yang nodded in satisfaction and smiled, Not bad, its a good harvest. Running such a long way is worth it!
He had a thought.
Whoosh!
A ball of flame formed out of thin air.
It was much more powerful than the small flame he had initially created.
Whoosh!
The Lady Ghost suddenly appeared at the door. She looked at the fist-sized fireball floating in front of Xu Yang with shock on her face, hidden beneath her covering of black hair, and wrote, What is this?
Fire Manipulation Skill.
Xu Yang said in surprise, You dont even recognize the Fire Manipulation Skill?
Lady Ghost:
She wrote again, Of course I recognize the Fire Manipulation Skill, but how can someone at the third level of the Qi Refining Realm like you master such a Daoist skill?
Maybe I have a special talent
Xu Yangs face remained impassive, his heart steady.
However, soon.
His expression changed.
He realized that maintaining this fireball consumed almost 50% of his already limited magical power in less than a minute!
So he stood up.
With a wave of his hand!
Whoosh!
The fireball flew straight out of the bedroom window, which had no glass!
Boom!
It landed right on the street light pole nearby.
With a clang, the sturdy street light pole was broken in half, falling heavily onto the road.
Holy crap this little fireballs power is so great?
Xu Yang was startled, thankful that there were no people or cars on the road at this hour!
However, a street light pole lying on the road was bound to be unsafe. Xu Yang said, Lady Ghost, could you help me move the street light pole to the side of the road
The Lady Ghost waved her little hand at the window.
Buzz!
The several hundred kg streetlight pole slowly floated up and landed on the curb.
Awesome!
Xu Yangs eyes were filled with admiration!
Moving objects in the air could only be accomplished after reaching the realm of Daoism and it was difficult even for an ordinary Daoist to move such a heavy object over such a long distance!
Praised by Xu Yang.
The Lady Ghost felt quite proud.
She waved her little hand and wrote, Its just a small trick, not worth mentioning alright, Im going to watch TV!
When the Lady Ghost left the bedroom.
Xu Yangs gaze returned to the attribute panel.
It seems the power of the Fire Manipulation Skill doesnt need to be upgraded for now otherwise, my current cultivation level wouldnt be enough to use it!
Lets upgrade my cultivation level first!
Leave 200 merit points for later use, and convert the rest!
Ding!
Conversion successful.
Merit Points -338, Mana Points +3380.
Buzz!
Xu Yangs aura shook, and he couldnt help but exclaim, Ah, isnt this a rip-off?
I previously spent 200 merit points to directly jump from a newbie to the third level of the Qi Refining Realm, but now it took me a full 338 points just to barely reach the fourth level of the Qi Refining Realm?
Right!
The Divine Ascension Scripture says that when a cultivator reaches the fourth level of the Qi Refining Realm, they can unleash the true power of Daoist artifacts and talismans!
Xu Yang flipped his hand.
He took out the peach wood sword from his storage space as well as the mysterious black iron seal.
Of course, Xu Yang knew the peach wood sword was extraordinary.
But what about this iron seal?
The iron seal was a bit rusty and looked ordinary, but Xu Yang still held some hope.
After all, it was something Grandpa and the Divine Ascension Scripture had placed together in the hidden compartment of the suitcase. What if its a treasure?
