Ding! Congratulations, you have successfully upgraded one key martial arts function to level 5. You have achieved a new bonus ability, 'Two Hearts'. "
In that instant, another small martial arts device appeared in the mysterious black space!
"Two Hearts? This bonus has quite a functional feature!"
Su Lang was so happy that his excitement showed in his eyes.
Then, without hesitation, he decided to practice the second part of the True Lightning Spell technique.
"Ding! [Lightning True Technique] has been successfully cultivated!"
At the same time, the second martial artist also began to practice his cultivation technique!
Su Lang asked expectantly, "System, how long will it take for these two cultivation techniques to upgrade?"
"Proprietor, the Thunder Filament Arts will take 10 hours while the True Lightning Spell will take 18 hours."
Although both of them were beginner-level thunder attribute cultivation techniques, he had always dedicated more time to learning the Thunder Filament Arts, so the True Lightning Spell would naturally take him more time to master.
"Ten hours is merely sleeping time, it is not much."
Su Lang's lips curved up into a smile. "I wonder how those martial artists who have gone through so much trouble to practice their cultivation techniques will react when they find out how much I have been able to achieve."
"My... my lord!"
Ye Huai said in a flattering and reverent tone. "Is it time to go to the vault where other materials are kept?"
At this moment, he knew that he only had to try his best to please Su Lang if he wanted to have a chance to live.
"Ok, let's go."
Su Lang nodded his head lightly.
"Master, please follow me."
Ye Huai lowered his head and led the way cautiously like a eunuch.
Su Lang followed him without haste and soon they arrived at another secret vault.
This secret vault was filled with medicinal materials, from Vicious Beasts, medicinal herbs, metals, and other Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
"Tsk tsk. Really deserves to be categorized as an E-class stronghold."
Su Lang clicked his tongue and said, "These things alone are worth tens of thousands of gold coins. Great!"
CHAPTER 67 - INTERMEDIATE CULTIVATION TECHNIQUE NINE ELEPHANTS TREADING MOUNTAIN TECHNIQUE
After putting all the materials into the Storage Space, Su Lang looked at Ye Huai again.
"There... there... there! My lord, that is all the wealth in the House of the Guardian."
Ye Huai said in a low voice, "You see, I did what you asked and you got so much wealth, will you spare my life now?"
"It is not enough."
Su Lang's eyes flashed with a cold smile, "I need a cultivation technique. Write down all the cultivation techniques you know."
After saying that, Su Lang took out a pen and a book and thew them at him, turned around, and found a chair to sit down leisurely.
"Yes! I'll write it now!"
Ye Huai picked up the pen and paper and started scribbling.
About 20 minutes later, he was finally through with writing all the techniques.
"Master, please take a look!"
Ye Huai raised the book and handed it to Su Lang respectfully.
Su Lang took the book and opened it. Apart from the skills he already knew, there were three new skills he could learn.
They were "Yin Wind Step," "Space Splitting Sword Technique," Nine Elephant Mountain Treading Technique
"This is... an intermediate Body Forging Cultivation Method!"
"And it's an intermediate technique that can amplify all aspects of the system!"
When he looked at the Nine Elephant Mountain Treading Technique, a hint of surprise flashed across Su Lang's eyes.
An intermediate skill? even the cheapest one was worth tens of thousands of gold coins!
And the Nine Elephants Treading Mountain Technique was not just an ordinary intermediate level technique, it was better than most techniques in the intermediate category.
"This is great! This cultivation technique will definitely add so much value to me!"
Su Lang happily finished reading the Nine Elephant Mountain Treading Technique and ordered, "System quickly, replace the True Lightning Technique with the Nine Elephant Mountain Treading Technique!"
One minute later...
Ding! The Nine Elephant Treading Mountain Technique has reached the Entry Level level!"
Instantly, Su Lang felt a soothing warm current flowing into his body through his limbs
"Wow~ It really feels good!"
Su Lang exhaled deeply in comfort.
Ye Huai, who was standing at the side, noticed the special flickering waves as Su Lang broke through Nine Elephants Mountain Treading Technique cultivation. He was so shocked and lost for words.
Nine Elephant Mountain Treading Technique was an intermediate Body Forging Cultivation Method!
His elder brother, Ye Zong, had been practicing for a whole year since he acquired it.
It was such a difficult cultivation method to practice, but Su Lang was able to complete it in just a minute!
The ability Su Lang possessed to learn that cultivation technique in such short time was terrifying.
It was simply unfathomable and seemed humanly impossible!
While Ye Huai was still in shock, Su Lang had practiced the Yin Wind Step and the Soaring Sword Technique to the entry level. The entire process took him less than two minutes.
"Oh my god, who is this Su Lang?"
Ye Huai was so shocked that his mind went blank. He looked at Su Lang with more respect and humility.
"The feeling is awesome. As expected of a level 5 martial artist!"
Su Lang stretched his body and opened the Property Panel.

"As expected, the system has been upgraded in all aspects!"
Su Lang nodded in satisfaction and walked out of the Guardian's Palace.
Ye Huai did not dare act oblivious. He immediately felt nervous and followed closely.
When he walked out of the Guardian's Palace, Su Lang noticed that the light beam of the fortress had been switched on by someone. It was a distress signal.
It would not be long before the Ye Family's Army swarmed over!
"Looks like it's time to leave this place.
Su Lang turned to look at Ye Huai and narrowed his eyes.
"My... my lord!"
Ye Huai's heart skipped a beat and his expression became very tensed.
He knew that it was time for his fate to be decided.
CHAPTER 68 - I'LL SPARE YOU
"Ye Huai, I promised you that I will not kill you."
Su Lang said plainly, "But you have done many evil deeds, and I will not let you off easily."
"Master! Forgive me!"
Ye Huai's face was full of despair. He fell to his knees on the spot. "I am willing to serve you, I will help you even if it means I no longer have to be a member of the Ye Family!"
"You want to help me? You are not worthy!"
Su Lang sneered. He turned around and kicked Ye Huai in the chest.
"Bang!"
The sound of bones cracking could be heard.
"Argh! My bones, my dantian!"
Ye Huai curled up on the ground like a shrimp and was writhing in pain . He kept screaming, his snot and tears covering his face.
His dantian had been destroyed!
This meant that his martial power would decline rapidly till he became an ordinary person and would no longer be able to cultivate.
To a martial artist, this was absolutely a big blow. Such fate was more miserable than death.
It didn't matter because, Ye Huai was arrogant and a tyrannical. He had committed all kinds of wicked deeds against people. There was no telling how many people wanted to peel his skin, break him and eat his flesh raw!
At that moment, Su Lang noticed that many people were looking at Ye Huai with hatred in their eyes.
It was obvious that Ye Huai would be miserable without any martial power to protect himself
"Now I will spare you~"
Su Lang shrugged his shoulders and turned to leave the fortress.
Soon, Ye Huai's cries filled the air as he begged for mercy and wailled in pain.
Su Lang glanced at him out of the corner of his eye. He saw about five or six people surrounding Ye Huai with rod, stick, brick, blade light and sword repeatedly going down on him. Each blow was heavier than the last.
"Tsk tsk, his retribution came really fast!"
Su Lang's lips curved up slightly, showing a faint smile.
Ye Huai was no longer his concern, and he left the Golden Flame Leopard stronghold at once.
"There must be a lot of people from Ye Family rushing over here now."
"And there must be a lot of Martial Masters among these people. Perhaps all of the Martial Masters of the Ye Family are out to find me"
"In that case, I won't be able to defend myself for the time being. But... it must be quite deserted back at the Ye Family's home!"
"Hmm hmm, since you have decided to chase after me, I hope you are all prepared to face the consequences!"
He looked back at the huge beam of light that pierced straight into the clouds behind him, Su Lang smiled mockingly.
Then, he moved and then vanished into the wilderness.
...
On the other side.
An inescapable net was flying towards the Golden Flame Leopard stronghold looking like a fan!
"Quick! Faster!"
"Search everywhere. We can't let Su Lang escape!"
"The reward on the bounty has been raised to 200,000 gold coins. If we are to make a fortune or then it will depend on the efforts we make!"
... "
There weren't just members of the Yang Family and Ye Family searching for Su Lang but there were also thousands of warriors who came to get the reward!
All these from the beginner level to the master level!
They all covered a vast area and they used all kinds of methods to search every corner, putting in everything to find Su Lang and get the reward.
"Hmph, Su Lang, let's see where you can run to this time!"
Ye Lingfeng looked at the Golden Flame Leopard stronghold. A gleam of hatred and resentment flashed across his eyes. "I must get your secret!"
He believed that Su Lang would not be able to escape from the Ye Family this time.
Because this time, apart from the family head, Ye Feizhang, and some of the martial artists guarding the Ye Family mansion and , the Ye Family had already mobilized their entire army!
And not only that, there were also many martial artists who came for the bounty!
Such a powerful squads would gather almost only when resisting the Vicious Beasts tide.
And what about Su Lang?
In front of him were over a thousand martial artists who were participating in the bounty, and behind him was the extremely dangerous D-class Vicious Beasts region.
He was just a more powerful Standard Martial Cultivator.
Even though he was mysterious in his skills, he was still a mere Standard Martial Cultivator in the end.
Escape?
Where could he escape to?
However, Ye Lingfeng couldn't think of anyplace.
Currently, Su Lang had achieved the combat strength of a Primary Martial Master warrior, and he had stealthily snuck into the D-level Glazing Tiger's territory.
"Roar! Roar!"
A Glazing Tiger soon discovered Su Lang's tracks and went after him, with a furious roar, it pounced forward ferociously.
"Kill!"
Su Lang waved his hand and two clones appeared.
Although Glazing Tiger was a Martial Tier Vicious Beasts, Su Lang and his clones made up had three people fighting on side and each of them had an attack level of Primary Martial Master +!
Hence, after fighting for a while, Su Lang was able to kill the Glazing Tiger!
Ding! You have obtained Liu Li Tiger Fangs x4, Liu Li Tiger Skin x1. Glazed Tiger Claw x4. ' 4 Glass Tiger Meat *12 Lorie Tiger Whip x 1 ... ""
"My goodness, what the hell is a tiger whip?"
Su Lang smiled as he walked deeper into the forest.
The area was a very dangerous one. Su Lang managed to kill four or five tigers along the way.
Luckily, the tigers did not attack in packs like Wind Wolves. Otherwise, Su Lang would really have to turn around and escape their territory.
Two hours later, Su Lang stopped outside a cave.
After a careful inspection, Su Lang discovered that the cave was very clean. There were no signs of Vicious Beasts activity.
"This place should be safer."
"At least, members of Ye Family won't be able to find this place so easily, it'll buy me some time."
Su Lang nodded with satisfaction and went into the cave.
CHAPTER 69 - OLD QIAN WAS DUMBFOUNDED
"System, how long before I am upgraded to a advanced level warrior?"
Sitting on the ground, Su Lang immediately asked, "How much time will it take for me to break through to the next level of the Thunder Filament Arts? How long will it take for me to form a dead clone?"
"Proprietor, you only need eight hours to break through to the advanced stage!
The Thunder Filament Arts needs seven hours to completely upgrade!
"The Death Clone require sixteen hours to reform!"
The System accurately reported all the information.
"The time is neither long nor short..."
Su Lang thought for a moment and his gaze fell on his gold coin balance - 51321.
"We still need about 50,000 gold coins to be able to upgrade the Clone Dispatch."
Su Lang thought, "If I sell the item I've stored in the Storage Space, it should be worth just about the required gold coins."
Since the last time he traded with the Old Qian of the Hidden Treasure Pavilion, he had not carried out any trade with the materials he obtained.
Since then, the materials in the Storage Space had already piled up into a small hill!
"I still have to make some arrangements to sell these materials."
Su Lang sent a clone ahead of him and changed into different outfits. He covered his face as well so no one could identify him.
After that, he sent the Clone Dispatch into the city.
In a deserted alley in Red Maple City, a figure wearing a white robe and cloak emerged slowly.
That figure was Su Lang's clone!
The man dressed in a white robe and cloak looked around and made sure no one noticed him before he left the alley.
He first went to the slums and then towards the City Hall that formed the entrance to the fortress .
However, the City Hall of city wall was heavily guarded and under the surveillance of the Ye Family. People had to go through series of security checks before they could enter or leave the stronghold.
"What a pity, their strick chec
ks will be of no relevance"
Seeing what was going on, Su Lang couldn't help the scornful expression that appeared on his face, "Even if they had hundred heads together, they would never have imagined that I would be able to directly send my Clone Dispatch into the city!"
With a trace of contempt, Su Lang commanded his clone to swagger through the City Wall and look for Old Qian at the Hidden Treasure Tower.
"Hello, do you trade goods?"
Old Qian only looked at Su Lang's Clone and did not bother asking about his identity.
The Treasure House had always only made deals, and they never cared about people's business!
That was the exact reason why Su Lang preferred to do business with them. So he always went back there
"I have quite a lot of materials"
Su Lang's Clone nodded and turned to leave. Old Qian quickly followed.
The two of them arrived at the slum part of the city. The Clone led the way and Old Qian followed closely behind.
Su Lang had already bought a house here and put all the materials he wanted to sell here.
"Everything is inside."
Su Lang's Clone opened the door.
"What? They are quite a lot!"
Old Qian was dumbfounded when he saw the pile of materials in the room.
He had been in the business of purchasing materials for a long time, but this was the first time he had seen so many materials!
"Gulp! Gulp!"
Old Qian swallowed hard out of excitement. There were so many materials! His commission was definitely going to be huge!
He could not help but look at Su Lang's Clone again and asked respectfully, "You must be the leader of a hunting group, right?"
"Yes I am, estimate the price."
Su Lang's Clone said casually.
"Alright,"
Old Qian nodded excitedly. "But there are too many of stuffs here. I will need someone to help me count them!"
"Go and get some help then"
Su Lang's Clone kept speaking delicately.
"Give me a moment," he said. "I'll go now."
Old Qian made some gestures with his hands. He flew away.
Not long after, the sweaty Old Qian returned to the slum with the four other people.
They didn't waste any time and started counting the materials.
Half an hour later, they finally finished counting all the materials.
