...

"Fuck!"

"That guy Lai Chang."

"I clearly warned him not to act recklessly, yet he still went to provoke that guy."

Lai Mao's face was very grim.

After finally making it to Ruyang City, he hadn't even begun searching for the opportunity to break through to the Bone Marrow Refining Realm before Lai Chang was killed.

Though along the way, Lin Zheyu would weaken every few days, giving the impression that there was something wrong with him.

But Lai Mao felt that Lin Zheyu wasn't as simple as he looked.

Just the ability to conceal his strength was extraordinary.

Because of this, many people traveling with them were curious about Lin Zheyu, but none dared to make a move, afraid of inviting trouble.

Lai Mao felt the same way.

He warned Lai Chang multiple times not to act rashly, to observe a little longer and figure out Lin Zheyu's true abilities before making any moves.

But Lai Chang, being used to acting arrogantly, couldn't hold back and provoked Lin Zheyu right outside Ruyang City, ultimately paying with his life.

Leaving the inn, he walked to a quieter place and stood at the alley entrance; Lai Mao didn't want to go further.

"Here will do," he said in a deep voice.

Lai Mao was worried that entering the alley would put him in danger.

The strength the opponent had just shown was intimidating enough.

If the opponent wanted to harm him, he wouldn't have been able to resist at all.

And Lai Chang knew Lai Chang's strength; if it's true, as the opponent said, that Lai Chang died on the second floor of the inn,

then the opponent's power was terrifyingly strong.

To kill Lai Chang silently and in such a short time, not even an ordinary martial artist in the Bone Marrow Cultivation Realm might manage it.

After all, Lai Chang was skilled in leg skills, and even if he couldn't win, he could at least struggle for a while and create some noise.

"All right."

Lin Zheyu didn't mind; it was the same anywhere.

He just didn't want to create a scene and give the local big shots a reason to act against him.

When he was in Songyi City before, if someone caused trouble, the cost was not small.

"Hand over everything you're carrying, don't try to be clever."

Lin Zheyu scrutinized Lai Mao.

People like them, traveling from Bafang City to the Central Plains, would carry almost all of their belongings with them.

Especially valuables.

If it weren't for the heavy armor being inconvenient to carry, Lin Zheyu would want to wear it at all times.

It cost him two thousand taels of silver to make that armor.

He'd feel the pinch if it were lost.

"Okay."

Lai Mao nodded.

He handed over his bundle neatly, then fished out some bottles, jars, and leather pouches from himself.

And a manual.

"Barbaric Bear Demon Skill?"

"Hmm, this cultivation technique is interesting. It's quite different from the cultivation techniques I'm familiar with. What kind of technique is this?"

Lin Zheyu exclaimed in surprise.

Under the streetlight, he quickly flipped through the cultivation technique.

It seemed like a body refining technique, but the principles differed from the Hundred Refinements Treasure Canon.

The focus was on soaking in and absorbing medicinal effects from various strange medicines to strengthen the body.

In the Barbaric Bear Demon Skill, medicinal baths and tonics are fundamental; the training process is merely a way to facilitate the absorption of medicinal effects.

Whereas in the Hundred Refinements Treasure Canon, the training process is fundamental, and medicinal baths and ointments reinforce and help the body recover.

"The Barbaric Bear Demon Skill is something I obtained from an enemy; it's said to be a skill of the Barbarian Clan."

"This cultivation technique is the Barbarian Clan's entry-level technique, and only the first half is included; it was already incomplete when I got it."

"The Barbaric Bear Demon Skill is used by the Barbarian Clan to refine the bodies of their younger generations, laying a solid foundation."

"The realm division of the Barbarian Clan is rather coarse; this first half corresponds to the Refining Muscles, Bone Forging, and Refining the Organs realms of our Human Race martial artists."

"Their techniques differ greatly from ours, and their physique is unlike ordinary people; the cleansing medicines they use cannot be withstood by the Human Race."

"If you want to cultivate it, it's best to only use half the cleansing medicines from the beginning."

Lai Mao spoke sincerely.

Seeing the other party being so cooperative, Lin Zheyu felt a bit embarrassed to attack him.

After all, one doesn't hit someone who's smiling.

From start to finish, the other party hadn't shown any hostility towards him; all this was mainly caused by Lai Chang.

"Interesting."

"After cultivating this technique, to what level can one rise?"

Lin Zheyu became interested.

Before finding a suitable cultivation technique, his strength had reached a bottleneck.

If the Barbaric Bear Demon Skill were suitable, he wouldn't mind trying to improve.

"I'm not sure."

"It's said that the Barbarian Race is naturally strong, and even ordinary barbarians, upon reaching adulthood without any cultivation, can compare to the Peak of Bone Forging among martial artists."

"Those with extraordinary talent could even rival martial artists at the Qi Blood First Transformation stage, which is terrifying."

"It's precisely because of their formidable individual strength that the Barbarian Race can maintain a stalemate with Great Wei in the north despite having a far smaller population than the Human Race."

Lai Mao was very cooperative, revealing everything he knew.

Although his brother Lai Chang was dead, he didn't dare to harbor thoughts of revenge against this person in front of him.

Powerful martial artists have strong senses and intuitions; in such proximity, any ill will would be easily sensed.

"Oh?"

"Not bad, I'll take this."

"Have you prepared all the medicines required by it?" Lin Zheyu asked.

"No."

"I just got the technique recently and was worried about serious side effects, so I didn't dare try it lightly," Lai Mao shook his head.

"Oh."

Lin Zheyu put away the cultivation technique and scrutinized Lai Mao.
