Comprehensive Martial Arts: Relying on Pili Martial Arts to Achieve Dimensionality Reduction Attack

Chapter 54: Deadly Water

For the several main quests I had done before, the three-choice reward after completing them was to choose between martial arts and weapons in turn, in that order. I originally thought that I would get to choose weapons this time, but I didn't expect it to end up being a choice of magic.

It seems that this system may not issue rewards according to a fixed pattern.

But it doesn’t matter, whether the reward is martial arts, weapons or magic, it doesn’t matter, as long as it’s there, it’s good.

After thinking about it, Lu Ping set his sights on the reward for this mission.

The three spells given this time each have their own magical uses.

'Encompassing the Small Universe' is Xichuangyue's ability. Its function is equivalent to a portable space. The size of the space varies with the user's spiritual power. The advantage is that anything can be put in it, even living people.

'Concentrating the Body with All Spirits' is a secret move of the Lord of the Deserted City that is not passed on to others. It is later learned by Su Huanzhen, Tan Wuyu, Liu Huo Canglong and others.

This magic can separate a person's essence, energy and spirit, and create three incarnations. If the incarnation dies, that part of the energy will return to the original body. It can be said to be the best weapon to travel the world under a pseudonym.

However, the condensation of spirit and body also has a fatal flaw, that is, when the essence, energy and spirit are separated, the main body is unable to move.

In the plot, Su and Tan were plotted to death, so they had to use this method to travel the world. Liu Huo Canglong was transformed into the Consciousness Dragon because he was locked up in the Xuanji Gate.

Finally, the 'Five Elements Life-Borrowing Technique' is very powerful. This move is from the Extraordinary Young Master's technique, which can use the five elements to transfer fatal damage. Although one element can only be transferred once, if you can practice it, it is equivalent to wearing five resurrection armors on your body.

Do I need to choose this reward?
Thinking for one more second is disrespectful to your own life, right?

As the saying goes, when you are in the world, who can avoid getting hurt?

If one wants to survive in the chaotic martial arts world, means like the Resurrection Armor are absolutely of utmost importance.

Although Lu Ping was also jealous of Senior Sister Lu's "Encompassing the Little Universe", because as long as he learned this trick, he would not have to worry about not being able to carry away the treasures he encountered in the future, but no matter how much treasure he had, it was not as important as his own life.

If the reward given by the system is an epiphany that allows me to learn something directly and take away all the treasures in the underground palace immediately, I might still hesitate.

But it is not!

Just like the rewarded martial arts secrets, the techniques given by the system also require you to spend time learning them!
In other words, even though he now has the secret manual of magic, his proficiency in it is not enough, and the effect he can produce for the time being is very limited, or may even be completely useless.

Since you can’t take the treasure away in one go no matter which one you choose, you must choose the resurrection armor.

After all, the treasure can be obtained later, but if you miss the Five Elements Life-Borrowing Technique this time, you don’t know when you can get it again in the future!
"System, select 'Five Elements Life Borrowing Technique!'"

[Selection successful, reward has been issued]

After receiving the reward from the system in his mind, Lu Ping turned his attention back to the room in front of him.

The system's side quests also include obtaining "a weapon", "a poison", and "a treasure worth more than one thousand taels". You have to hurry up.

As for the other main storyline of [Defeat Xiao Mimi], it can only be put aside for the time being.

I hope that woman can come back before I leave...

While Lu Ping was still thinking about the system's reward, Lu Xiaofeng, Xiao Yu'er and others had already started to visit and search the underground palace. The treasure room behind the golden door was full of various jewels, almost blinding everyone's eyes. Lu Ping picked a few rare treasures that were easy to carry and collected one thousand taels of silver for the side quest.

In the armory behind the bronze door, all kinds of exquisite and sharp magical weapons were stored. Even after lying dormant for decades, they still emitted a chilling aura. Everyone was overjoyed when they saw it and each selected a weapon that suited them.

Since Lu Ping already had weapons given by the system, he naturally looked down on these, so in the end he only took an exquisite dagger.

The happiest person in the group should be Zhang Jing. She originally used a whip, so she took away a golden dragon whip known as the 'Nine-appearing Dragon Ghost-Seeing Whip'.

The second was Lin Pingzhi, who chose a sword.

To be collected here, this sword must be extraordinary. Just by casually swinging it, one can hear a low roar like a dragon's roar. It is many times stronger than the ordinary sword rented from Zhu Ting's shop.

Behind the tin door is the medicine room.

In the gray-white room, bottles and jars of medicines are neatly arranged on the tall shelves. There are poisons as well as medicines for curing diseases and saving lives. Each one has a label indicating the efficacy.

This time it was Lu Xiaofeng's turn to be happy because he found the antidote for the Ten Fragrance Softening Muscle Powder here.

"It's outrageous that the drug hasn't expired yet..."

Seeing that after Lu Xiaofeng meditated and adjusted his breathing for a while, he became full of energy. Lu Ping couldn't help but complain, and then started searching the medicine room.

"Peach Blossom Mist, Intoxicated by the Spring Breeze, Dreaming of Wushan, Beauty Order, Guanyin Fragrance..."

"The names of these medicines don't look like medicine at all. Instead, they look more like Bawang Chaji's new products..."

Lu Ping considered himself an upright person who had always been hostile to gambling and drugs. Naturally, he had no interest in poisons. If it were not for completing the system's tasks, he would not want to touch these dirty things.

However, just when he was about to pick a few things and leave, he unexpectedly saw a familiar name.

Death water!
Lu Ping stopped immediately, his eyes widened instantly: Desperate Water? Isn't that the one developed by Yanwang Guitu?! There is such a thing here? ?
There is naturally no antidote for the water of death, because it was originally a test product of the "elixir of life", and later it was positioned as a "life-saving water" used to cure diseases and save lives. However, while it can save lives, it also comes with severe side effects, so it is classified as a poison.

After hesitating for a few breaths, Lu Ping still put it in his arms.

Although I don’t know which version this bottle of death water is and whether its efficacy has expired, I’ll just take it with me anyway. Who knows, it might come in handy someday.

Treasures are placed behind the gold wall, weapons are placed behind the bronze wall, the house behind the iron wall is filled with various advanced martial arts, the house behind the tin wall is filled with medicine, and behind the stone wall are the tombs of the craftsmen.

Several people opened the silver wall, walked into the passage, and came to the bedroom of the man who once called himself "one of the five greatest masters of heaven and earth."

In Ouyang Ting's bedroom, several people read Fang Lingji's biography and learned about her tragic life in which her family was brutally murdered, she sacrificed herself for the enemy, and she poisoned her husband. They all sighed.

After expressing his feelings, he put the 'Five Wonderful Skills' created by Ouyang Ting and others into his pocket.

More than half an hour had passed since they entered the underground palace. The group of seven started the last wooden winch, opened the wooden door, and revealed a secret passage leading to the outside.

Above the hundreds of stairs, two beams of soft moonlight shone through the tiny gaps onto the feet of the crowd.
