I practice martial arts by adding skill points in modern city-Chapter 588: [192] Pre-Qin Qi Refiners

The ground was littered with dried corpses.

The long-haired old man licked his palm and looked towards another block of ice that had yet to be unsealed.

"Junior sister, the Golden Core Dao has sealed us for so many years. Now that the seal is broken, it's our turn to roam the world freely."

The long-haired old man walked over and slapped the ice block, causing it to crack in the middle.

Immediately, a frail and emaciated elderly woman slid out. Compared to the long-haired old man, she did not seem very healthy.

"I'll take you to restore your Qi and blood first. Once our powers return to their peak, we'll control the entire world. With just the two of us, we'll command the winds and clouds and hold the sky with one hand. Won't that be marvelous?"

The long-haired old man picked up the elderly woman's body and quickly left the place.

Some time later, a figure returned to the entrance of the stone cave.

It was the leader who had left earlier.

"These troublesome guys." The leader tiptoed into the passageway.

What greeted him was a tragic scene filled with dried corpses.

The leader was so frightened that his face turned deathly pale. Seeing the two shattered ice blocks, now empty, he was horrified.

What he feared had finally happened.

"Who exactly were the people sealed in those ice blocks to have such malicious methods? This place is definitely not the Source of Earth Veins!"

The leader murmured tremblingly to himself. Coming to his senses, he mustered up the courage to pack away the golden spheres into his backpack, took what he could, and quickly fled the scene.

...

Gamuzhe City, the remote city closest to Mount Everest.

Every climbing team intending to visit or climb Mount Everest would take a break in this city.

As the city closest to the Tibetan mountain ranges, Gamuzhe City exudes a strong snowy aura, though it has a permanent population of only over 600,000.

However, its tourism industry is quite developed, even boasting a four-star hotel, which is considerably good for such a fourth or fifth-tier city.

Wang Longhu, along with the climbing team led by Fifth Master, returned to Gamuzhe City and stayed in the four-star hotel.

This climb to Mount Everest was also the final stop of Fifth Master's tour.

His plan was to return to Min Province after coming back from Mount Everest.

Since Min Province and Zhejiang Province are very close, Wang Longhu planned to accompany him on the journey, making it a companionship.

"Longhu, what level have you reached now? Have you achieved Huajin?"

In the elevator, Fifth Master couldn't help but ask.

On the way down the mountain, Wang Longhu was composed and unruffled, unaffected by the dangerous terrain of the snowy mountains.

Furthermore, there was an avalanche midway; a few people were nearly buried in the snow, and Fifth Master couldn't rescue them in time.

Luckily, Wang Longhu intervened promptly and saved those who were as good as dead.

Everyone in the climbing team was immensely grateful to Wang Longhu for this.

"I've attained the level of seeing the divine and remaining unscathed."

Wang Longhu smiled.

"Seeing the divine and remaining unscathed?" Fifth Master was puzzled.

Despite practicing martial arts for many years, he didn't quite understand what this meant.

For Fifth Master, a Huajin Grandmaster was already the pinnacle of martial arts.

He was unaware of higher realms like Danjin, Gang Qi, seeing the divine and remaining unscathed, or the Three Elixirs and Four Peaky Substances.

Wang Longhu explained in detail, leaving Fifth Master deeply shocked, somewhat sentimental, and also a bit unable to accept it.

Who would have thought that, in martial arts, Dark Force was merely the starting point.

At Fifth Master's age, even if he started cultivating Cell Energy, it was too late.

His body's potential was exhausted; the path of martial arts had reached its end.

For martial artists, this is the harsh reality.

If one doesn't become a Huajin Grandmaster before 40, they'll never reach higher realms in martial arts in their lifetime.

Back in his recently assigned room, Wang Longhu lay on the bed and posted a photo of his successful climb to the top of Mount Everest in his social circle.

Within minutes, he received dozens of likes.

Just as Wang Longhu was about to exit the app, a message popped up.

It was from Chen Zeye.

[Chen Zeye: Mr. Wang, are you still in the vicinity of the Tibetan mountain ranges?]

[Wang Longhu: Yes, I'm at a four-star hotel in Gamuzhe City.]

[Chen Zeye: Great, Mr. Wang! I'm currently in Gamuzhe City as well. A very troublesome martial artist incident has happened here that my temporary team can't handle, and the experts from the headquarters can't arrive quickly. Can you help us out, Mr. Wang?]

Wang Longhu was somewhat puzzled. In this peaceful era, are there still martial artists bold enough to harm others?

Are they not afraid of death?

To the world, martial artists serve more as a deterrent.

Martial artists who harm or kill instantly lose their deterrent effect and become public enemies.

[Wang Longhu: Send me the location, I'll come to you.]

[Chen Zeye: Thank you, [Location shared]]

Looking at the location sent by Chen Zeye, it was only 5.6 kilometers from the hotel he was staying at. Wang Longhu immediately got up, opened the window of his room on a dozen or so floors, and leapt out.

His figure was like a flash of lightning, quickly disappearing into the air.

The next second, he landed on a residential building rooftop hundreds of meters away.

Whiz! Whiz! Whiz!

Wang Longhu continued to leap between buildings, and before long, arrived at Chen Zeye's location.

It was a local police station.

"Group Leader Chen, this incident is extremely severe. The martial artist responsible can't even be described as cruel; it's sheer madness."
