Chapter 23: Elementary Weapon Cultivation Technique

After a long time, Su Lang finally calmed his excited heart and regained his indifferent expression.

Only then did he remember that a woman was still standing next to him.

Su Lang turned his head and saw the woman in blue staring at him with a dazed expression.

"Stop staring, let's go."

Su Lang waved his hand and turned to leave.

"Ah!? Oh!!"

The woman snapped out of it and hurried to catch up.

She looked at Su Lang's back, wondering why his expression had changed so much earlier, as if he had encountered some incredible stroke of luck.

Even with her wildest imagination, she couldn't have guessed that Su Lang had cultivated a Cultivation Technique to the Entry-Level in just a minute or two.

Soon, Su Lang brought the beautiful woman to the outside of the house where he had killed Dou Zhong and the other two.

"There are some women inside who share a similar plight as you."

Su Lang pointed at the house's main door and said, "You are at least at Primary Body Tempering; take them and leave this devil's den. I will give you the safest route."

"Then… what about you? You're not taking me with you?"

The woman in blue was counting on Su Lang to protect her; hearing this, she immediately grew anxious.

"Me? Don't worry about me. Just leave quickly. Once the Stronghold Guardian returns, you won't be able to leave even if you want to."

Su Lang gave a non-committal smile, took out a map, marked the route, tossed it to the woman in blue, and then turned to walk away.

Su Lang had known countless women in his past life; the idea of him slaving away for a ruined woman he had just met by chance was pure fantasy!

He was no simp, but a cold-blooded killer!

Looking at Su Lang's resolute back, the woman in blue could only sigh and abandon the thoughts in her heart.

Immediately, she went to the front door, preparing to take the women who shared her plight away from there.

Creeeak…

The door opened.

Ahhh—!!

The woman in blue let out a terrified scream.

Behind the door were three mangled corpses and eight women who looked like vengeful ghosts; the scene was incredibly bloody, like a Shura Hell!

…After handing the map to the woman in blue, Su Lang did not leave the Stronghold.

Most of the experts in this Stronghold had gone to hunt a Quasi-E-rank Wind Wolf.

A Wind Wolf that could reach Quasi-E-rank was definitely a Wolf King; they were often surrounded by dozens or even hundreds of low-level Wind Wolves. For the members of the Broken Axe Hunting Group to kill it would be no simple task.

Even if the Broken Axe Hunting Group was well-prepared, they would surely be exhausted after winning the battle, which would be the perfect time to strike.

Furthermore, Su Lang himself needed time to increase his cultivation Realm.

After the One-Click Cultivation Function reached Level 3, his cultivation speed soared to four times that of a Flawless Aptitude Genius; it would only take two hours to Breakthrough to the Quasi-Martial Artist level.

And for the Broken Axe Hunting Group, including the time for travel, regrouping, scouting, fighting, and the return journey, it would definitely exceed two hours!

Therefore, Su Lang planned to loot the Stronghold clean first and then wait for his prey!

Ten minutes later, Su Lang had finished looting the corpses of the Broken Axe Hunting Group members and their dormitory, obtaining a total of 89 gold coins.

Besides that, there were many Vicious Beast Materials, Medicinal Herbs, Ores, and other items, but these things couldn't be stored in the System and could only be set aside for now.

"Adding the 468 I had left, I now have 557 gold coins!"

Su Lang showed a brilliant smile. "This way, I'm one step closer to upgrading the One-Click Martial Arts Practice Function to Level 3 and unlocking a new function!"

After searching the members' corpses and the dormitory, Su Lang returned to the residence of the Stronghold Guardian.

Although the gold coins in the safe were gone, those were the public funds of the Broken Axe Hunting Group; the guardian's private collection hadn't been looted yet.

After some searching, Su Lang harvested another 123 gold coins, bringing the total in the System to 680 gold coins.

And that wasn't even what excited Su Lang the most!

"I didn't expect to find a Cultivation Technique in addition to the gold coins!"

Su Lang held a thin book and sat excitedly in a chair to flip through it.

This Cultivation Technique was named Ghost Moon Saber Technique, an Elementary weapon Cultivation Technique. Su Lang speculated that the Stronghold Guardian had prepared it for himself after he broke through to become a Formal Martial Artist.

"Tsk tsk, although it's an Elementary weapon Cultivation Technique, it's far more profound than those saber techniques from my previous life."

"Moreover, this technique is clearly more mysterious and difficult than the Returning Origin Body Tempering Art; once practiced, the benefits will definitely be greater."

Su Lang praised it as he read, and soon, he had read through the entire thing.
