Su Xuan first warmed the old man with a pot of aged Nu 'er Hong. This was one of the few good things left behind by his predecessor.
Although the inn was so big, there was very little wine and even less good wine. As for the wine in the wine jars in the lobby, they were all mixed with water.
It was fine if he sold it to ordinary people, but if he sold it to these martial artists, he might anger them and even smash the inn.
Su Xuan couldn't see through the one-armed old man before him, so he naturally wouldn't do something that would offend him.
"Old sir, you're in luck. This is a ten-year-old daughter's red.”
Su Xuan smiled as he warmed the wine.""If it were an ordinary person, they wouldn't be able to drink it. I only took it out today because of you.”
"Alright, the wine is warm. You drink first. I'll go prepare the dishes now.”
Su Xuan turned around and went to the kitchen to prepare.
The one-armed old man picked up the wine glass and sniffed it lightly. He grinned and said,"It really is ten years old."
After saying that, he downed it in one gulp and immediately added another cup.
In the time it took to brew a cup of tea, Su Xuan began to serve the dishes. There were two meat dishes, two vegetables, and a pickled cabbage soup.
"The dishes are all served.”
Su Xuan wiped his hands on the corner of his clothes.
If I don't have anything to do, I'm going to prepare hot water.”
"No rush, no rush."
The old man smiled."There's a lot of food and wine. I can't finish it all by myself. Bring me some chopsticks and wine glasses. Sit with me."”
"No need for food, but I can accompany the old master for a drink or two.”
Su Xuan sat down, and the old man stood up to pour him a glass of wine.
"Little brother, your craftsmanship is not bad."
The old man tasted a few dishes and his eyes lit up as he praised.
"Just so-so."
He was humble, but he was still proud of himself. In terms of cooking skills, he was only an amateur in his previous life.
However, in this life, he was much better than the chefs of those restaurants and inns in the nine provinces.
The levels of both sides were not on the same dimension at all.
"Old mister, why are you still hurrying on this rainy night?”
Su Xuan asked casually.
"Coming from the south, we didn't see a village after walking for dozens of miles, and we encountered heavy rain.”
The old man shook his head.”
After drinking two cups of wine, Su Xuan went to prepare hot water and a room. When he came downstairs, the one-armed old man was still drinking by himself.
He went to the counter and sat down. He picked up a book and read it by himself. The so-called miscellaneous books were a collection of all kinds of unofficial legends scattered among the people.
Although it was boring, it was at least better than the Analects of Confucius.
Suddenly
, a cold voice sounded in Su Xuan's mind.
"Congratulations to the host for awakening the martial arts cultivation system.”
"Beep, the system is binding.”
"Beep, system binding complete.”
"Beep, starting passive skill extraction.”
His vision turned black, and Su Xuan realized that his consciousness had appeared in a chaotic space with a wheel in front of him.
There were so many words on it that it was hard to read.
"Draw skills."
Even though he didn't know what the system meant, Su Xuan still spoke and the wheel began to spin rapidly.
"God bless me, let me draw a good skill.”
The speed of the wheel slowed down until it stopped completely. The needle stopped at a certain place.
At this moment, the system notification sounded.
"Congratulations, host. You have drawn the passive skill-Cloud Scouting Hand.”
"Skill explanation: By consuming a certain amount of martial arts points, you can use Cloud Searching Hand on the target. There is a chance to extract martial arts and talent from the target.
[Additional explanation for the skill: The stronger the target's cultivation, the more martial arts points will be consumed, and the lower the success rate of the Cloud Seeking Fist.]”
"Wow, a divine skill."
Su Xuan was overjoyed.
"Since the host is a newbie in cultivation, the reward is a free opportunity to activate the Cloud Seeking Hand. The target's cultivation is not limited, and the success rate of the Cloud Seeking Hand is 100%.”
"Time limit: 15 minutes.”
Su Xuan was quite happy when he saw the front, but when he saw the time limit, he immediately felt his balls ache.
He only had fifteen minutes. Where was he supposed to find a martial arts expert to use the Cloud Searching Palm?
He could only look at the one-armed old man who was drinking not far away with a resentful gaze.
"Old sir, you must be a hidden peerless expert.”
Su Xuan thought to himself. Otherwise, his free opportunity would be wasted.
"What kind of eyes does this kid have? Has he already realized that I have no money on me?”
Although the one-armed old man had his back to Su Xuan, he muttered softly to himself.
"Target: One-armed old man. Activate Cloud Seeking Hand.”
Su Xuan said to the system in his heart.
"Beep, Cloud Probing Hand activated.”
"Beep. Congratulations to the host for stealing the sword move, Two-Sleeved Green Snake.”
Instantly, Su Xuan could not help but gasp.
A golden card appeared in the depths of his sea of consciousness, surrounded by a sharp sword aura.
This was definitely a powerful sword move.
"Host, do you wish to fuse with the Two-Sleeved Green Snake Beginner's Path Experience Card now?”
He thought about it and decided to wait for the one-armed old man to leave before fusing, so as to avoid any flaws or abnormalities.
Su Xuan forced himself to calm down. Now that he had roughly confirmed the identity of the one-armed old man, he didn't take any drastic actions.
However, she couldn't help but look at the one-armed old man with bright eyes, as if she was looking at a fat sheep.
"It would be great if I could get something out of him.”
He sighed to himself.
"System, can you give me another chance to try out the Cloud Seeker Hand for free?”
"Host, please don't be delusional.”
The rain became heavier and heavier, bringing water up to their ankles. Lightning flashed and thunder roared, and the wind howled. It was a dark patch, accompanied by a flash of lightning.
Su Xuan pretended to sleep behind the counter, but he was actually trying to figure out how to use the system. Currently, he only had one passive skill, Cloud Scouting Hand.
He needed to accumulate enough points to activate more passive skills.
There were two ways to earn martial arts points. One was to cultivate hard. Every time he cultivated, he would gain martial arts points by practicing the sword, saber, and fist.
The second was to kill a powerful martial arts expert. The stronger the other party was, the more martial arts points he would receive.
"I won't consider the second path. I'll rely on hard work to accumulate martial arts points for the time being.”
Su Xuan started calculating.
The system was a good system, but he was too weak now.
In the lobby, the one-armed old man finished his meal and went upstairs to rest.
He waited in the inn for a while more. Seeing that no one came, he closed the door of the inn and went to the room in the backyard to rest.
"Cluck cluck cluck.
"
The rooster crowed. Su Xuan pushed open the door and saw that the rain outside had lessened. He yawned and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
