Chapter 357: 355, Snake Skin Body Technique (3/4)
"The demonstration of the Hurricane Trial ends here. I'll lead you to continue observing Wind Valley." Wen Ping exited the tornado area, "If any of you want to acquire this Hurricane Skill, it's best to heed my advice and find something in this world that allows the body to adapt to the wind. As for what it is, let me find it."
After speaking, Wen Ping walked forward.
At the same time, he pulled out a Life Cigar from his pocket, thankful for his habit of keeping cigars in his chest pocket.
Otherwise, he'd have no way to alleviate the chest tightness without using the Changmo Technique to absorb Wood Qi, having to endure it until leaving Wind Valley.
Lighting it, taking a puff.
The chest discomfort gradually faded away.
As Wen Ping walked on, he noticed a conspicuous object on the grass—a red crystal stone.
However, Wen Ping didn't mind. Finding a stone on the grass was quite normal. Perhaps some little creature left it there, or a heavy rain exposed it on the grass.
But as he walked past it, Wen Ping suddenly felt his body become heavier.
The once weightless feeling disappeared.
A sense of stability returned.
"This..." Wen Ping immediately picked it up with his hand and quickly asked the system, "System, what is this?"
"This is a Red Stone from this world that can reduce the impact of wind. The stronger the wind, the better its reducing effect, but its function is temporary. The time starts counting once the host picks it up, and it can only maintain the effect for three hours. After three hours, it will shatter."
"Three hours, that's quite long." Wen Ping was very satisfied having found one without having traveled far. In the tornado, the biggest problem was instability and feeling too buoyant, even the Snake Skin Body Technique couldn't save him.
After ending the conversation with the system, Wen Ping said, "This is a Red Stone. Having it can reduce the wind's influence on you for an hour and a half. I'll go try it now."
With that, Wen Ping immediately ran back.
Fortunately, it wasn't far, and he arrived shortly.
Holding it as he entered the tornado area, indeed, there was no need to grasp weeds to escape the suction. He could walk steadily inside. Next, he only needed to evade the harassment of the Wind Demon and wait for tornadoes to collide.
Whoosh!
As soon as he entered, the Wind Demon appeared again.
Wind Blades came hurling towards him, and Wen Ping immediately resorted to the Snake Skin Body Technique, continuously dodging the Wind Blades. The Wind Demon became increasingly frenzied, hurling Wind Blades faster and faster.
Upon seeing this, the people in the Viewing Room were taken aback.
"This body technique is too strong!"
"Why haven't we seen the Sect Leader use this technique before?"
"It seems as if the Wind Demon is purposely missing, the Sect Leader moves left, and it throws to the right."
The crowd buzzed with discussion.
All thinking about asking Wen Ping how to master this Snake Skin Body Technique after he comes out.
"Broke another one!"
At this moment, Yang Lele shouted.
Indeed, in the light screen, Wen Ping broke another tornado with a Wind Blade.
"The Sect Leader must wait for two tornadoes to collide, have you noticed? The moment they collide is crucial. But I just saw two tornadoes collide and then separate quickly, the Sect Leader didn't even have time..." Next to him, Yun Liao began carefully analyzing.
Yun Liao's analysis quickly gained others' agreement.
One thing is certain, the opportunity is fleeting. It's best to get that Red Stone.
Just then, Wen Ping, who had been dealing with three tornadoes continuously, emerged.
Everyone immediately left the Viewing Room and stood waiting at the exit of Churao Mountain for Wen Ping to come out of the forest.
Yang Lele asked the most crucial question, "Sect Leader, does entering Wind Valley still require White Crystal?"
"Yes, an hour inside costs 10,000 Gold Coins or one White Crystal. So, I'm letting you all see first. If you think it's worth it, you can enter. If not, you don't have to."
After Wen Ping finished speaking, he looked towards Zhantian Qingxuan's group.
For the task involving 500 participations, they'd have to rely on Qingxuan and the others.
Yang Lele helplessly shook his head, "It's a bit expensive..."
In truth, he couldn't afford it.
"Alright, those who want to cultivate can go ahead and cultivate. Those who want to enter Wind Valley can pay to go in." As soon as Wen Ping finished speaking, Zhantian Qingxuan immediately responded, handing over the White Crystal.
It was five at once!
Intending to stay inside for 10 hours.
Aside from Zhantian Qingxuan, Qin Shan, Qin Mo, Miao Yin, and others also chose to enter Wind Valley. Though one White Crystal was a lot for them, there were more precious things inside Wind Valley.
Things that White Crystals couldn't exchange for.
If they ran out of White Crystals, they could directly return to their family, where they could still collect enough Gold Coins daily to allow them to stay one hour inside.
Just as Wen Ping was about to give them access, Zhantian Qingxuan spoke up, "Sect Leader, how did you practice that Snake Skin Body Technique?"
Zhantian Qingxuan had been watching for a long time; the Wind Demon posed significant problems.
If one didn't know the Snake Skin Body Technique, there wouldn't even be a chance to wait for tornadoes to collide, let alone stand there for long.
Wen Ping smiled, "The essence of the Snake Skin Body Technique lies in... your steps must follow an S-shaped movement pattern."
"S-shaped movement pattern?" This left not only Zhantian Qingxuan bewildered but the others as well.
"How should I explain it? In short, you just need to sway. You can try it inside, practice makes perfect. The next time I enter Wind Valley, if anyone still can't do it, I'll personally teach you." With that, Wen Ping sent a few people into Wind Valley, while he returned to Yunlan Mountain.
Planning to break through the Ten Layers Tower and get a new Long Yue Sword, Zhao Yi hurriedly ran up from the Thousand Layers with a broom, saying, "Sect Leader, Senior Biyue Piaoling is waiting for you at the foot of the mountain."
"Hmm."
Wen Ping then recalled why Biyue Piaoling hadn't come up; it turned out he hadn't given him clearance in the Maze Array.
With one step, Wen Ping arrived at the foot of Yunlan Mountain.
Biyue Piaoling was standing by the Sword Stele, surprisingly leading a Sealed Flow Horse, accompanied by Shan Hua, who carried a bundle, looking like he was about to leave. Upon Wen Ping's arrival, Shan Hua first bowed and then quietly walked away.
"Sect Leader Wen, I'm here to bid farewell." Biyue Piaoling cupped his fists, "Thank you for saving my life."
"Did you not give White Crystals?" Wen Ping smiled, a playful tone in his voice, "So, Senior Biyue, where do you plan to go? Truly intend to wander the world alone, live as a lone ranger?"
"Me?"
"Not really. Wandering around is fine, being a ranger is possible, but a lone ranger, that's hard." A ranger travels the land. A lone ranger travels alone, independently, always solitary.
Yu Mo, famous as a lone ranger around East Lake, although he took someone along, it didn't really make a difference if not for company. He didn't require service and often forgot A Long in some city.
After a light smile, Biyue Piaoling said, "Sect Leader Wen, before I leave, I actually wanted to talk about your mother. Xue Qianqian... Senior Xue, that is, your mother, I heard about her a little over half a year ago."
