Purple Mist Dao Master-Chapter 27 Du Hanfeng’s Relics

This time, caught off guard by a raid, Yan Chuan couldn't upgrade the 'Golden Silk Silkworm Armor' before falling for the trap. He rushed back to his room to get the 'Red Tassel Spear', using all the remaining 180 Spiritual points to upgrade the 'Red Tassel Spear', raising it from level 4 to level 7, gaining a new 'Qi-breaking' trait.

At '+10' (level 1), this 'Red Tassel Spear' gained the 'Armor-Piercing' trait, enhancing its destructive effect on bricks, metals, and armors.

At '+100' (level 4), it upgraded to a 'Miracle Item', gaining the second trait 'Sharpness', and the spearhead quality significantly improved, boosting the power of 'Armor-Piercing'.

Now, at '+280' (level 7), it gains the third trait 'Qi-breaking', effectively dispelling the Qi-blood and strength of martial arts practitioners.

A single Floral Spear, with unparalleled power!

Yan Chuan thrust the spear, Du Hanfeng, confident in his skills and bravery, caught off guard. Relying on his iron hands and robust Qi-blood, he was easily shattered and was assassinated on the spot.

"In the end, it was about surprise."

"If he was prepared, not so careless, even with the 'Golden Silk Silkworm Armor' and 'Red Tassel Spear', one attacking and one defending as two Miracle Items, in a head-to-head fight, I might not be his match."

Yan Chuan touched the handprint on his heart, feeling a lingering fear along with some speculation: "Two iron palms, red eyes, could this be the Demonic Evil Man 'Du Hanfeng' as Wei Wude mentioned?"

Yan Chuan killed too quickly, not even getting to see the intruder display many techniques.

But he could roughly conclude.

"With such iron palm skills and using bare hands to catch my spear like a madman, it's more or less certain."

Du Hanfeng was once one of the 'Guangling Ten Outstanding', with strength perhaps surpassing Cheng Fengxiao.

After turning demonic, he improved even more.

In direct combat, Yan Chuan was definitely not his match.

But with the 'Miracle Item·Red Tassel Spear' in hand and Du Hanfeng having lost his mind to madness, unable to utilize his full strength, he died violently and unjustly.

"This is life-and-death combat."

"Not a trace of flashy stuff!"

Yan Chuan knew he just survived a life-and-death situation but ultimately made it through.

The next step was to take stock of the gains.

He calmed his heart, carefully probing with the Red Tassel Spear, searching the body of what seemed to be 'Du Hanfeng' and quickly discovered several items—

"Sheepskin Scroll—"

Inscribed densely with tiny words, it's the cultivation techniques of the 'Iron Sand Palm', 'Cotton Sand Palm', 'Vermilion Palm', 'Copper Sand Palm', 'Golden Sand Palm', and 'Poison Sand Palm', these 'Six Sand Palms', along with annotations and insights, likely carried by Du Hanfeng himself for immediate recording whenever he had a realization during practice.

Having a good memory is not as good as writing things down.

This is undoubtedly a good habit.

But now it's convenient for Yan Chuan, who gets the profound palm techniques for free.

"The 'Six Sand Palms' have countless versions passed down among the people, from basic to advanced, with numerous branches. The 'Guangling Academy' compiled and refined them into a coherent and more precise version, but these palm techniques are not exclusive to the academy."

Meaning, Yan Chuan can also practice them!

However, to learn the 'Six Sand Palms' is like starting over anew, not as fast as progressing along the 'Cheng Family Boxing' system, from 'Iron Wire Fist', 'Tiger Crane Double Forms', and then transitioning to the developing 'Six Harmonies Eight Techniques Fist' step by step.

"Six Sand Palms."

"Put it aside for now."

Yan Chuan continued sorting through Du Hanfeng's remains—

"Two packets of Medicine Powder—"

Two packets wrapped in cowhide, likely secret medicine from Guangling Academy but not 'Dragon Tiger Powder', Yan Chuan couldn't identify them, so he set them aside for now, planning to deal with them once he learned more later.

The third item—

"Wood Carving—"

A carved wooden statue of a 'Flame Evil Dog', lifelike, even after being pierced into four pieces by Yan Chuan, still exuding an evil aura.

Du Hanfeng's descent into madness likely couldn't be separated from it.

Now broken like this, who knows if it still holds power.

"Since it's broken, might as well finish it off." Yan Chuan thrust with the Red Tassel Spear, breaking the wood carving further: "Get rid of it later!"

The wooden carving was dealt with.

Looking further.

The fourth item, and also the last—

"Star Diamond?"

An egg-sized diamond, seemingly containing a starry sky inside, dazzling and enchanting. It lay in a pool of blood, sneakily absorbing all of Du Hanfeng's blood, turning him into a dried corpse—

"Hiss!"

Yan Chuan raised an eyebrow; only then did he confirm that this person was Du Hanfeng!

"Turns out, it wasn't Du Hanfeng who wanted to suck blood, but this thing—"

Let's tentatively call it 'Star Diamond'.

After enjoying Du Hanfeng's blood, the 'Star Diamond' became dormant; Yan Chuan dared not touch it directly. He used the Red Tassel Spear to pick it up and put it into a cloth bag: "I'll touch it once I figure it out properly."

Better safe than sorry!

Du Hanfeng is a lesson learned.

Though it's unknown whether his madness was caused by the 'Evil Wood Carving' or because of the 'Star Diamond', being cautious is never wrong.

...

That night, for Yan Chuan, was a matter of life and death.

Even though he killed Du Hanfeng and plenty of things 'exploded' out.

However—

'Six Sand Palms' can wait.

'Two pieces of secret medicine' are unidentified.

'Evil Wood Carving' was destroyed.

'Star Diamond' is best not touched.

"I don't lack martial skills, so 'Six Sand Palms' needn't be practiced right away. As for 'secret medicine' and 'Star Diamond', it might be good to find an opportunity to inquire with Wei Wude."

Yet Wei Wude is a smart man; asking too directly may arouse suspicion, which also requires timing.

"No rush."

"Pretend as if nothing happened."

"Relying on the 'Purple Mist Palace' alone, I can quickly enhance my strength, ensuring I have enough self-defense power before exploring these mysteries."

Yan Chuan's heart, slightly restless due to his recent increase in strength, settled down after Du Hanfeng's attack, realizing the outside world is dangerous with people more powerful, and his strength far from sufficient.

...

That night.

Yan Chuan dealt with Du Hanfeng's corpse and hid the 'Star Diamond' and 'Six Sand Palms'.

The next day.

He acted as if nothing had happened, carrying on with his martial arts practice as usual.

[Yan Chuan]

[Experience: 6]

[Spiritual: 0]

[Martial Arts: Seventy-two Absolute Skills (collapsible), Cheng Family Boxing (collapsible)]

...

Yan Chuan's current martial arts can be divided into two major categories: first, the 'Seventy-two Absolute Skills' he created based on the 'Shaolin Orthodox Seventy-two Skills' from his past life, currently having developed eighteen skills, all of which are one-star and two-star martial arts, not worth much consideration.

The second category is the 'Cheng Family Boxing', in which he has been steeped for twenty years in this life.

This includes 'Horse Stance', 'Twelve Bridge Hands', 'Tiger Form Boxing', 'Crane Form Boxing', 'Thousand Pounds Fall', 'Gongzi Fuhu Fist', 'Ten Forms Boxing', 'Iron Wire Fist', and his self-created 'Tiger Crane Double Forms', fully mastering the Cheng Family Boxing, from low to high, from old to new.

The 'Seventy-two Skills' are just auxiliary, created by Yan Chuan for managing the Iron Wire Martial Arts Hall and swiftly gaining 'Experience' and 'Spirituality', complemented by cultivation but not the main focus of his energy.

His major focus and primary direction remain the 'Cheng Family Boxing'.
