Chapter 60: Chapter 60: Twin Fiends

The captain responded with a word and then said, "Sir, earlier, there were two hunters who went out, and when they returned, there was an extra person wearing black tight-fitting clothes, an outsider. An hour ago, news came that he bought a house on Chenliu Street in Bai Han Square."

"Were they baptized by the Yang Membrane when they came in?"

"Yes, after observation, there is no slightest damage from Yang Qi. After investigation, it’s initially judged that this person is from another Mortal World."

Another Mortal World?

Li Bing was slightly surprised; the nearest Mortal World from them is at least two thousand miles away, filled with countless dangerous places along the way.

One must have some background to dare to come over.

He pondered for a while and waved his hand, "Since we have confirmed it’s a person, the urgent task is to guard the Yang Membrane. As for him, just pay a little attention."

"Yes!"

...

...

Unaware that he was in the eyes of Chentai City’s government, Lu Ren slept for a night and woke up early the next morning.

A night of resting and gathering strength made Lu Ren energetic and no longer fatigued. Following his daily practice routine, he spent three hours continuously training the Skill Level of Phoenix Falcon Fist before stopping, drenched in sweat, fetching two buckets of water from the well and pouring them over himself.

He liked his combat suit more and more: breathable, warm, incredibly tough and stretchy, with excellent protective power.

Most importantly, whatever material the combat suit is made of allows it to be cleaned easily of dust and sweat with just a rinse of water.

Having casually bought several clothes and chosen a set of cyan attire to wear, he kept the combat suit on beneath. Although the backpack attached to the shell made him look a bit hunched, it didn’t matter much.

At noon, after finding a tavern and enjoying a table full of local delicacies, Lu Ren felt very satisfied. To be able to live so peacefully in the Otherworld was something he could never have imagined before.

What surprised him even more was the reasonable urban planning of Chentai City, even including a sewage system, and the toilets had a separate channel system to converge at a place for nighttime treatment.

The toilet in this courtyard had been privately modified by himself; it seemed to be a private alteration.

The previous owner of this courtyard had some sinister intentions.

The use of compost in this world was already quite advanced, no wonder the Martial Path system in this world was flourishing.

Thus, spending the morning practicing fist, eating, noon practicing sword, eating, and night contemplating the Heartless Sword and sleeping in this monotonous mode, a week passed by quietly.

As for Zhang Yan and Chen Ling, their happiness index skyrocketed under the hundred taels of silver. Initially enthusiastic to come over in the first few days, they found that Lu Ren did not like to be disturbed, so they said he could contact them if needed and got familiar with this area before opening a breakfast shop, busy yet still smiling.

Lu Ren went there to eat, the taste was nice.

In terms of martial arts training, Lu Ren could clearly feel the thrill of his physical condition improving with the increase in Skill Level.

His current ability was closely linked to his hard training.

Until tonight, this quiet and harmonious atmosphere was broken.

After contemplating the Heartless Sword, Lu Ren, who was a bit exhausted, was about to sleep when he suddenly opened his eyes and stared intently at the ceiling.

"Are you sure you didn’t lie to me?" A boy’s voice suddenly sounded low like a mosquito.

"I saw it with my own eyes that day. Zhang Yan, that kid, exchanged money at Nanshan Boxing Club and gave it to this guy. I heard it was a considerable amount! I’ve been scouting here the entire week; besides eating, this guy basically never goes out!"

A woman’s voice was clearly suppressed as it entered Lu Ren’s ear.

Good heavens, these two are the notorious malevolent pair!

Without a sound, Lu Ren sat up, watching as a thin, long blowpipe was inserted through the crack of the opened tile, then a thick smoke slowly emitted from the blowpipe.

After ten full minutes, movement finally came from the roof.

"Is it done?"

"A sufficient amount of Enchanting Fragrance, it can even make a first-rate Martial Arts Family member sleep for two days, haha!"

"Is that so? Then this Enchanting Fragrance is really something good; I’d love to use it if I get the chance. I’ve long thought the girl from the house in front is full of vigor."

"Leave the man to me then! I’ve wanted to try him for a long time!"

"Of course, uh... who?!"

The two lying on the roof were startled at once, just about to move when they saw a longsword glistening with cold light resting on their necks.

Kneeling, Lu Ren looked at the two motionless individuals and said calmly, "Do you want to die gently or quickly?"

The man sobbed, "Brother, we two had eyes but failed to see your greatness, please spare our lives. We’ll serve you like a horse without complaint!"

Beside him, the woman tried to show her beautiful face under the moonlight, forcing a smile, "Sir, don’t you think it would be a shame to kill us?"

System: "The opponent holds a great belief toward you, wanting deep communication with you, please quickly strike swords with me."

Completely without chance for the system to trigger nonsense due to the opponent’s malice, Lu Ren said, "But you came to steal."

Hearing a loose tone in Lu Ren’s voice, the man quickly said, "We didn’t come for any purpose, just happened to. A momentary impulse led us to this. Please consider our plight as a couple relying on each other and show us mercy!"

Lu Ren was moved, "You... truly only rely on each other, and nothing else?"

Seeing Lu Ren moved, the two were delighted and nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes!!"

Swish, swish!!

Lu Ren slowly withdrew the sword, and the blood on the blade slid off, covered by a layer of high-nanocarbon material that allowed his sword to avoid getting stained.

Looking at the two people with a look of perplexity under his feet, Lu Ren glanced around, ensuring no one was paying attention here. Then, he searched the bodies and threw them into the clear river nearby, saving himself the trouble of burying them.

If these two claimed to have someone behind them, Lu Ren might have considered more, since his primary goal was stability.

But they had no one behind them, so they couldn’t blame Lu Ren for sending them to fetch their lunch.

This kind of person with no support, once let go, would act like venomous snakes waiting to strike. A slight carelessness could lead to unexpected trouble.

To create a stable environment for himself, Lu Ren spared no effort.

But what surprised him was that Lu Ren found a Martial Arts Secret Manual and dozens of golden leaves from the man.

"Golden Feather Leg"

A technique specializing in Leg Technique, however, after leafing through it carefully, Lu Ren silently put it aside.

Transporting Qi and Blood, circulating Qi and Blood within meridian circulation, forming loops at sixteen Major Acupoints on each leg.

And these Major Acupoints didn’t relate to him at all. Even the Huaxia’s renowned essence, the human body’s meridian circulation diagram, didn’t align.

Moreover, what seemed most ridiculous to him was the idea of controlling Qi and Blood transport using intention, what was Blood Qi, blood was blood, then what was Qi?!

Essence, Qi, and Spirit, Qi has its connotation, but it can’t be materialized.

Modern world’s martial arts mention Qi, but it’s not truly True Qi; it refers to one’s state.

But this world was different, they genuinely talked about this.

Lu Ren sighed, realizing that indeed, one cannot earn beyond what is understood!

Moreover, with differing physiological structures, a slight discrepancy can lead to significant errors; many things cannot be universally applied.

Only some techniques for exerting force could be used for reference, but beyond that, the most essential and central technique for Qi and Blood transport was completely impractical.
