Chapter 4: Saving Little Dragon Maiden

Qian Xing lived with a large group of young Taoist disciples. Among them, many newly initiated disciples were only responsible for chopping wood, diving, and sweeping, and it would take several months before the sect selected those with good potential to teach them basic martial arts.

Qian Xing was much luckier, as he had a basic foundation in martial arts and was a distant disciple of Wang Chuyi, one of the Seven True Taoists. Therefore, on the second day, he received the oral transmission of the Quanzhen Sect's basic internal cultivation techniques and training methods from Lu Qingwu.

Immediately, the system prompted: "You have obtained the Quanzhen Sect's basic internal cultivation techniques, skill level E+."

Every morning from six to eight o'clock was the time for cultivating qi, followed by the teaching of the Quanzhen Sect's basic sword techniques.

The Quanzhen Sect was the leader of the martial arts world, and these two skills—internal cultivation and sword techniques—were their core strengths.

Even the basic sword techniques were not simple, with complex steps and postures.

Although Qian Xing had a foundation in Iron Sand Palm, he had never practiced sword techniques before.

He found that these sword techniques were even more difficult to practice than the basic internal cultivation.

It was already the third day, and he had only a little over six days left to complete the task. After practicing internal cultivation and sword techniques until around four in the afternoon, the other young disciples dispersed to rest, but Qian Xing found a place with dense trees and repeatedly reviewed the basic sword techniques.

The other young disciples had plenty of time to practice, but he did not. He could only deepen his proficiency through diligent practice, hoping that in the last two days, he could kill a few Mongol soldiers. Even if he couldn't complete the task, he would kill as many as possible to vent his frustration.

After practicing for a day, a thin red line, like a slice of carrot, appeared in the half-inch-long blank yellow bar for basic internal cultivation and basic sword techniques, indicating: "Basic internal cultivation, basic sword technique proficiency level 1."

Qian Xing felt completely frustrated. With a proficiency level of only 1, he wished a great hero would come and cleanse his body and soul!

If his proficiency increased by only one point per day, he was doomed!

Despite this, a spirit of not giving up supported Qian Xing. He refused to quit and continued practicing at night after finishing during the day.

On the fourth night, while Qian Xing was practicing, he saw two black shadows, like large birds, fly over the temple wall and head towards the forest. With his current eyesight, he could only see two blurry shadows.

However, these two blurry shadows were like huge lighthouses to Qian Xing.

Any abnormal situation could be a hidden task, based on his years of gaming experience. In this world identical to the real world, he had no infrared vision or deep internal cultivation to see in the dark. Therefore, being able to see these two black shadows flying out was entirely due to his hard practice at night.

The wall was not very high, but Qian Xing had to run a short distance to climb over it. After two days of basic internal cultivation practice, he had a slight feeling of internal energy.

The two figures were already out of sight, but Qian Xing ran in the direction he remembered they had flown.

After about the time it takes to burn an incense stick, he heard a loud noise like a strong wind, and the sound was like an explosion. Under the moonlight, he saw a white figure and a gray figure fighting, moving up and down.

The two figures that had flown out of the temple were hiding behind two trees, watching from a distance.

The white figure, dressed in white, moved gracefully and lightly, like a woman.

Although he couldn't see her face clearly, this woman was most likely the idol of countless men—Little Dragon Maiden.

The muscular man with a beard like a hedgehog, and a face like a thorn, could it be the big boss Ouyang Feng?

Was this the only and last time Little Dragon Maiden and Ouyang Feng fought?

Could it be that tonight was the night in "The Return of the Condor Heroes" where countless young men drooled and countless young women felt sorry for Little Dragon Maiden's loss of innocence?

Indeed, the plot developed as usual under the watchful eyes of the three scheming onlookers.

Just as the two were about to compare their internal strength, Yang Guo, using the newly learned Nine Yin Manual's internal cultivation, jumped out and stopped their fight. Then, with Yang Guo's loud cries of "Father," Ouyang Feng recognized his newly adopted son and started crying, holding Yang Guo.

Immediately after, Ouyang Feng carried Yang Guo away like a whirlwind, completely ignoring Little Dragon Maiden.

Little Dragon Maiden, who already had internal injuries, suffered a relapse after fighting Ouyang Feng and began to heal herself behind the flowers.

Yin Zhiping sneaked up on her, gradually approaching Little Dragon Maiden.

Zhao Zijing, watching this sensual scene, was so nervous that he trembled. If Yin Zhiping broke the precept of lust, his weakness would fall into Zhao Zijing's hands, and he would lose his position as the head of the fifth-generation disciples.

Therefore, even when Qian Xing sneaked closer, Zhao Zijing, whose attention was focused on Yin Zhiping and Little Dragon Maiden, did not notice him.

* To practice, Little Dragon Maiden had to take off her top. Under the moonlight, her clear and elegant beauty and her snow-white body were faintly visible. Yin Zhiping, already trembling with excitement, extended his evil hands towards the world's most beautiful woman, who was in a state of mental confusion.

What followed would be a restricted-level scene of a fresh flower being trampled by cow dung—according to the original story.

However, a loud shout echoed: "Taoist Yin, stop! You cannot break the precept of lust and disgrace the Quanzhen Sect!"

Qian Xing, disguised as a young Taoist disciple, leaped out from the nearby grass!

Little Dragon Maiden, who had been touched by Yin Zhiping and was in a daze, was already completely naked from the waist up. In her confusion, she was calling out for "Guo-er" and mistook Yin Zhiping, who was molesting her, for Yang Guo.

However, this sudden shout cleared her mind. She turned her head and saw that the person molesting her was not her beloved Guo-er but Yin Zhiping, whom she had only met twice from the Quanzhen Sect.

"Miss Long, Miss Long!"

Yin Zhiping, who was extremely excited, was shocked and froze, not knowing what to do. Little Dragon Maiden, gathering her remaining strength, struck him on the chest, causing him to spew blood and nearly faint.

Qian Xing sneered inwardly but continued to shout: "You cannot break the precept of lust, Granduncle! Even if I face punishment, I cannot stand by and watch such a beastly act!"

Yin Zhiping recognized this person as the fifth-generation disciple Lu Qingwu had taken in two days ago. Seeing this low-ranking fifth-generation disciple ruin his plans and shout, he was furious, pointing at Qian Xing and stuttering: "You—You—You—"

Little Dragon Maiden, who had barely managed to put her top back on, knew that her innocence had been saved by this young Taoist disciple. Being kind-hearted, she could not bear to see him punished for saving her. She mustered her remaining strength, grabbed Qian Xing's right wrist, and flew towards the Living Dead Tomb like a cloud of white mist!
