Chapter 8

Xiao Xiaoxia had an impulse to rush over and beat up this NPC, but then he thought about how the NPC had called out his name directly just now, and it didn’t seem like he was a fraud. "Just being the leader of the martial arts alliance is enough? Can you be sure about that?"

Qi Feng nodded: "I'm very sure."

Xiao Xiaoxia asked again: "What happens after becoming the leader of the martial arts alliance?"

Qi Feng extended a finger: "That's another question, it will cost you one hundred taels."

"What?!" Xiao Xiaoxia was really angry. If it weren't for the fact that he had just entered the world of martial arts and his combat skills were still low, he might not have been able to fight this NPC, he would have already pounced and taken the NPC down with him.

Qi Feng sighed and shook his head: "There's a secret place in this world of martial arts that only the leader of the martial arts alliance can enter. Once you enter, theoretically, you can return. The specifics, you can ask me after you become the leader. Sigh, it's really troublesome, believe it or not. Consider this extra explanation as a favor to you."

"Slam!" Before Qi Feng's words had even finished, Xiao Xiaoxia slapped another hundred taels on the table and pushed it to Qi Feng. "One more question, what is the Fourteen Days Book used for?"

Qi Feng took the silver without hesitation and replied: "You're asking the right question. I said earlier that going to that place would only theoretically allow you to return. With the Fourteen Days Book, you can almost really return."

Hearing this, Xiao Xiaoxia was delighted: "Great! Finally, there's a reliable answer! So, the Fourteen Days Book is for this purpose." After a moment of joy, he realized something: "Wait, that's not right. There's a problem here. You just changed 'theoretically' to 'almost' and tricked me out of another hundred taels of silver!"

Qi Feng, of course, wouldn't admit it: "Idiot! I told you where to use the Fourteen Days Book!"

Xiao Xiaoxia wasn't easily fooled: "What does 'almost' really mean? Tell me clearly what's still missing."

Qi Feng shamelessly extended his hand: "The usual price, one hundred taels!"

Xiao Xiaoxia really wanted to flip the table...

Fortunately, at this moment, an outsider interrupted the two, otherwise, a full-scale fight would have broken out between the two transmigrants.

Wei Xiaobao, carrying a bag, walked in. He had already heard the two arguing at the door, and although he didn't understand what they were saying, it didn't stop him from speaking up for Qi Feng: "This Brother Qi Feng is known as the 'Hundred-Knowledge Man of the Martial World.' You're asking the right person. Brother Qi Feng isn't short of money, he wouldn't cheat you out of your silver."

Qi Feng smiled awkwardly, thinking to himself that after buying that 'Dragon Elephant Bodhi Power' from Wei Xiaobao, he was indeed short of money!

Xiao Xiaoxia had no choice. He thought about it and decided to continue asking questions. At least the information Qi Feng gave him was "solid," unlike Nan Xian, who, after taking the Wisdom Fruit, only told him a bunch of nonsense. He had used up all the fruits he had collected and didn't get much useful information.

Reluctantly, he took out another hundred taels and asked: "Alright, how can I become the leader of the martial arts alliance?"

Qi Feng easily made another sale: "It's simple. The next Huashan Sword Conference is in a few years. By then, if you practice your martial arts to the point of being invincible, win first place, and no one dares to challenge you, you'll be the leader of the martial arts alliance!"

Xiao Xiaoxia rolled his eyes. The answer was simple, but the problem was that it was too hard to achieve! "How do I become the best in the world? I only know the Pine Wind Sword Technique! I can't even beat a few minions!"

Qi Feng looked at him calmly and smiled without a word. Xiao Xiaoxia, suppressing his anger, took out another hundred taels.

Qi Feng laughed and took the silver, which now formed a small pile on his side. "Alright, I'll tell you a shortcut! No conditions, just a bit of legwork. Go to Icefire Island and find Xie Xun. Pick up a strand of his golden hair, then take it to Kunlun Paradise and ask Zhang Wuji. He has the Nine Yang Divine Skill! Although it might not make you invincible right away, it will at least make you a decent expert. Then, keep working hard, young man."

Xiao Xiaoxia thought for a moment and asked: "Who are Xie Xun and Zhang Wuji?"

Qi Feng spat out his tea, spraying it three feet away: "What?! You haven't even read 'The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber'?"

Xiao Xiaoxia retorted loudly: "What is 'The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber'?"

Qi Feng was speechless: "You don't know this? Are you here to die? No choice, one hundred taels!"

The two transmigrants argued for a while, and Qi Feng finally figured out Xiao Xiaoxia's situation. This unfortunate protagonist was actually a martial arts novice. Well, not entirely. At least he had heard of Guo Jing and the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, but he knew almost nothing else! Qi Feng found it hard to imagine the difficulties Xiao Xiaoxia faced. It was truly a world of darkness for him.

Now, Qi Feng felt a bit sympathetic towards Xiao Xiaoxia. Although he couldn't leave the inn, he could easily return to the real world, while Xiao Xiaoxia would have to go through eighty-one tribulations to return. It seemed he would have to educate him. "I didn't expect you to be so ignorant. Ignorance isn't your fault, but being this ignorant and venturing into the world of martial arts is like asking for death. Anyway, if you have any questions in the future, come ask me. I'll ensure you turn misfortune into good fortune and become the leader of the martial arts alliance eventually!"

Xiao Xiaoxia, a bit uncomfortable with Qi Feng's sudden change in attitude, was nonetheless touched: "Thank you so much!"

Qi Feng waved his hand: "No need to thank me. The usual price, one hundred taels per question!"

Xiao Xiaoxia was speechless, stood up, and turned to leave. Qi Feng was surprised: "Why are you leaving?"

Xiao Xiaoxia turned back, bitterly: "I have no more silver..."

Qi Feng laughed: "Alright, young man, work hard and come back when you have more silver." He didn't forget to add: "Remember to learn the Nine Yang Divine Skill first."

Qi Feng and Wei Xiaobao watched as the tragic game protagonist, Xiao Xiaoxia, left. They then counted their "earnings." Wow, eight hundred and twenty taels! He had only earned about three hundred taels in over a month of hard work! Indeed, one doesn't get rich without taking risks, and robbing the protagonist was much faster than selling braised beef!

Wei Xiaobao praised: "Brother Feng, you have great skills, earning so much silver with just a few words."

Qi Feng laughed: "If anyone else said that, I'd believe it, but you, Duke Wei, are just teasing me. Who doesn't know that when you first started, you looted Aobai's mansion and got four or fifty thousand taels just by talking? My small earnings can't compare to yours."

Wei Xiaobao shook his head: "A hero doesn't talk about past glories! By the way, Brother Feng, I heard you talking about the Nine Yang Divine Skill with that young man. If it's so easy to obtain, why don't you go get it yourself? Why spend money buying the Dragon Elephant Bodhi Power from me?"

Qi Feng could only laugh bitterly. Zhang Wuji was a martial arts prodigy, and Xiao Xiaoxia had the protagonist's aura. They learning the Nine Yang Divine Skill was a certainty. If you gave me the Nine Yang Scripture, I might not even be able to practice it! Besides, I can't leave this world. Of course, he couldn't say that, so he replied: "The Nine Yang Divine Skill, no matter how good, isn't the Dragon Elephant Bodhi Power. I just like collecting treasures from the martial world, and I'll take anything, the more the better. With Brother Xiaobao here, why would I look elsewhere?"

Wei Xiaobao smiled and patted his bag: "Brother Feng, I have some new treasures today, come and take a look." He pulled out a yellow pill the size of a pigeon's egg.

Qi Feng examined it for a long time, sensing a faint, strange fragrance. "What is this?"

Wei Xiaobao proudly said: "The Rhinoceros Earth Dragon Pill!"

Qi Feng was shocked. He didn't remember Xiao Bao selling this in the game: "The Rhinoceros Earth Dragon Pill of Western Poison Ou Yang Feng?! This is a treasure that can make you immune to all poisons! There's only one in the world. Where did you get it, Brother Xiaobao?"

Wei Xiaobao smiled: "I knew this wouldn't stump Brother Feng!" He didn't mention the source. Qi Feng knew it was Wei Xiaobao's exclusive channel and didn't press further. "What's your price, Brother Xiaobao?"

Wei Xiaobao extended his hand and opened it: "Five hundred taels!"

Qi Feng immediately counted out five hundred taels and pushed them over: "This pill is made from a rare beast from the West, and Western Poison always keeps it with him. It's worth more than five hundred taels of silver."

Wei Xiaobao took the silver and put it in his bag: "Brother Feng, you're too kind. I always give fair value."

Qi Feng still had over three hundred taels. Thinking about how he had just started practicing the Dragon Elephant Bodhi Power and didn't need to rush to buy more martial arts manuals, he spent two hundred and fifty taels to buy a pill from Wei Xiaobao that was said to bring the dead back to life: the Life Creation Pill!

Why did he buy this? Actually, Qi Feng was a bit unsure about the Rhinoceros Earth Dragon Pill. In the book, it was described as an external medicine to be worn, but in the game, it was a pill to be taken. Although this was the game world, Qi Feng didn't dare to experiment with his own life. With the Life Creation Pill, he would have an extra life!

Back in the small kitchen of the canteen, he was alone. Qi Feng tilted his head back and swallowed the Rhinoceros Earth Dragon Pill with a sip of tea. He felt a hot line of energy pass through his esophagus, and his entire stomach burned, causing immense discomfort! Qi Feng was alarmed, thinking it was a poison, and quickly swallowed the Life Creation Pill. The Life Creation Pill melted in his mouth, and a sweet, refreshing sensation spread throughout his body. The two powerful forces, one hot and one cool, clashed. Qi Feng's face turned red, his blood vessels bulged, and his blood rushed to his head, causing his muscles to twitch involuntarily. His body was on the brink of collapse, and he felt a force building up inside him, ready to burst. Qi Feng flailed his limbs, trying to release the wild energy, but it was useless. Suddenly, Qi Feng had a flash of inspiration and formed the first posture of the Dragon Elephant Bodhi Power's first level. The twisting of his muscles and bones constrained the wild energy, redirecting its flow. Qi Feng, guided by this, transitioned to the second posture...

He cycled through the first level of the Dragon Elephant Bodhi Power dozens of times before gradually stopping. His internal energy had calmed, and sweat poured down his body, forming a large puddle on the ground.

Qi Feng came to his senses and excitedly roared, "I've mastered the Dragon Elephant Bodhi Power!"
