Arhat Fist, one of the supreme techniques of the Golden Buddha Kingdom. When cultivated to the extreme, it could theoretically lead to the attainment of the Arhat realm. However, this only existed in theory, and Lu Yang had never heard of anyone who could cultivate this technique.
Arhat Fruit Fist, a technique created by immortals. Judging from the name, it was very close to the Arhat realm, with only a one-word difference. Its effects were to clear heat, moisten the lungs, benefit the throat, and open the voice.
If one were to consider the origins of the techniques, the Arhat Fruit Fist would undoubtedly be superior.
But the problem was that it was created by the Immortal Maiden.
“No need to practice, I can guess what this technique is for just by hearing its name.”
“Hey, hey, hey, what kind of look is that? The Arhat Fruit Fist was created by me, a dignified immortal-level technique. That Arhat Fist doesn’t even qualify to be compared with my technique!” The Immortal Maiden stomped her foot, feeling that Lu Yang was belittling her.
“It’s not that I’m belittling you, it’s just that the name of your technique is… hard to describe. It sounds like it has no power at all.”
“What do you know? Do you think you learn martial arts just to show off and fight with others? No, the most important thing about martial arts is health preservation.”
The Immortal Maiden educated Lu Yang, correcting his wrong ideas: “Isn’t cultivating immortality for the sake of living better? What’s the most important thing about living? It’s the body.”
“For this reason, I specifically created health-preserving techniques, including the Arhat Fruit Fist that can clear heat, moisten the lungs, benefit the throat, and open the voice, the Small Fennel Fist that can dispel cold, relieve pain, regulate qi and stomach, and so on, a total of thousands.”
“If you take good care of your body, why worry about not becoming an Arhat?”
“If you can master these thousands of techniques and integrate them, then you can learn my supreme technique – the Immortal Maiden Fist!”
The Immortal Maiden Fist, the technique that the Immortal Maiden used to beat up the Immortal Man, was incredibly powerful, causing the Immortal Man to flee in disarray, utterly embarrassed.
“So, do you want to learn it?” The Immortal Maiden felt it was time to show Lu Yang a thing or two, so he wouldn’t always think she was a freeloader.
As the leader of the Five Ancient Immortals, how could she be a freeloader?
“I don’t want to learn at all.” Lu Yang flatly refused.
In reality, the old turtle crawled out of the lake, still feeling dizzy.
Just one punch had such power. If they were serious, there wouldn’t be many in the Golden Elixir stage who could beat them.
The other person hadn’t made a move yet, but his combat power was no less than this young man named Meng.
Which power had cultivated such a genius?
Thinking of this, the old turtle stopped blocking them and agreed to help the two find opponents.
The old turtle broke off a branch and began to draw a map on the soft mud. He first drew an irregular oval.
“This is our current location, by the small lake. If you go south from here for ten miles, there’s a black panther with a white spot on its forehead. It’s extremely ferocious and has an ancient bloodline. Although it’s only in the early stage of the Golden Elixir, it’s tough for a mid-stage Golden Elixir cultivator to deal with.”
“South of the black panther is a pack of Moon Shadow Wolves. The wolves are generally in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and the Wolf King is at the peak of the early Golden Elixir stage. They never act alone. If you encounter one Moon Shadow Wolf, it means there’s a large pack of wolves hiding nearby. You have to be very careful.”
“To the east, there’s…”
“To the west, there’s…”
The old turtle, as one of the five overlords of the lake, knew quite a lot of information.
“The five little eagles know the specific locations. They can take you there.” The old turtle still needed to guard the small lake, otherwise, he was worried that his territory would be completely divided by the other four half-step Golden Elixir creatures while he was gone for ten days or half a month.
Having a small lake as a territory in the dense forest was quite difficult.
“The demonic beasts with fixed territories are not too bad, as we know their backgrounds. What you need to be especially careful of are those demonic beasts that wander around the dense forest without a fixed location. These beasts are very cunning, can transform into human form, and like to ambush and hunt humans. I’ve seen no less than fifty people die under the fangs of these beasts.”
Lu Yang and the others thanked the old turtle, and set off with the Five Heroes of Eagle Mountain towards the territory of the black panther.
“Lu Yang, Lu Yang, let’s discuss something.” The Immortal Maiden’s tone was unusually pleasing.
“What is it?”
“How many days are you planning to stay in the dense forest?”
“At least five days, I guess.” Lu Yang calculated that fighting with various demonic beasts and conducting night battles would not show the effect of training if the time was too short.
His and Meng Jingzhou’s plan was to continuously fight in the dense forest to improve their combat experience and consolidate their cultivation. If they could find an opportunity to form the Golden Elixir here, it would be even better.
The Immortal Maiden counted with her fingers to Lu Yang: “Look, I stay in the spiritual space every day, either eating or sleeping, or watching you guys fight. It’s quite boring.”
“People say that the meaning of life lies in movement. I think I should go out and take a walk, right?”
“So, Immortal Maiden, you want to…”
“Give me a Bodhi tree avatar to use.” The Immortal Maiden smiled pleasingly.
“Of course, if you really don’t want to give it to me, I can’t help it. But if you could give me an avatar, that would be great!”
Lu Yang saw the Immortal Maiden’s cautious and particularly expectant expression and couldn’t help but laugh.
“What are you laughing at!”
“Nothing, nothing.” Lu Yang tried to put on a very serious expression.
“I can give you a Bodhi tree avatar, but you have to behave in the dense forest and not cause a big mess. Also, before Meng Jingzhou and I return to the city, you must come back.”
“Definitely no problem!” The Immortal Maiden promised solemnly, “My divine consciousness range is very large, I can find you at any time.”
“That’s good.”
In reality, Lu Yang stopped.
“What’s wrong?” Meng Jingzhou and the Five Heroes of Eagle Mountain were puzzled, thinking that Lu Yang had sensed some danger.
“Nothing, I just want to use an avatar to go around other parts of the dense forest.”
“Clone?” The Five Heroes of Eagle Mountain looked at each other in confusion, only Meng Jingzhou seemed to understand something.
Lu Yang held a Bodhi tree seed, used an earth escape technique to shrink into the ground, then cast the “Tree Planting Spell”. A Bodhi tree sprouted from the ground, producing two Lu Yangs.
Both Lu Yangs simultaneously broke free from the Bodhi tree. The original body stayed in place, while the Immortal Maiden took over the clone. As soon as it landed, it took off running, much like the legendary descriptions of ginseng fruits – disappearing as soon as they hit the ground.
The Five Heroes of Eagle Mountain nearly popped their eyes out at this sight, their mouths hanging open for a long time.
“A… A clone?!”
This was unheard of, not just at the Foundation Establishment stage, but even among them Golden Elixir cultivators.
“It’s just a minor spell that’s not worth mentioning.” Lu Yang put on a modest expression, which earned him the utmost admiration from the Five Heroes of Eagle Mountain.
“Young Master Lu, can you control this clone of yours?”
Lu Yang waved his hand: “No need to control it, the clone can move on its own.”
“Well, you’d better be careful. I’ve heard that some cultivators like to ambush lone cultivators. Quite a few have gone missing.”
“Should… Shouldn’t run into any, right?” Lu Yang thought of the Immortal Maiden’s carefree face and felt a bit uneasy.
