CHAPTER 437: CHAPTER 437: SHAOLIN SKILL - THE FLOWER-PINCHING FINGER (3 MORE)

Yang Xiao thought to himself that having Shenming Mountain Sect and Shaolin, two ancient martial cultivation sects, settle in Nanmu City would be sufficient. Having more could be a problem. He also didn’t have the energy to manage these interpersonal relationships. After all, relocating an ancient martial arts sect was no small matter and required fate.

Yang Xiao had Huang Wen and others send people to assist with Shenming Mountain Sect’s reconstruction efforts led by Lan Xin. They provided manpower and material as needed, transferring the several hundred people originally left at Kongming Academy to Nanmu City, and also gave 100,000 Crystal Coins to the Genetic Store, relocating it to the plaza in front of the administrative office building. This way, the orange protective glow would cover the administrative office building of Kongming Academy.

This building had seven floors, with twenty rooms on each floor, which was enough for Lan Xin’s dozen or so people.

Huang Wen, Qin Yu, Deng Xiao, Chen Fei, Feifei, Chen Lu, along with nearly two hundred female students, joined Shenming Mountain Sect, and the reconstruction work of the entire sect quickly got on track.

Yang Xiao, together with Xiao Zhe and two hundred others, went to Shaolin Temple and relocated all the necessary items such as scriptures and Buddhist statues to Xianan University.

After a month of repairs and arrangements, Shaolin Temple and Shenming Mountain Sect officially announced their establishment.

Gong Yu, Xiao Zhe, Xia Luo, Zhao Gang, Long Yongjun, Zhou Qiang, and other key members all joined Shaolin Temple as secular disciples.

The first group to join Shaolin Temple numbered 300 people, and soon another 300 were recruited.

Most of those who joined had at least Primary Level Primordial Genes, and many more were waiting to join Shaolin Temple. Monk Ben Yin was worried that accepting too many people all at once would not be conducive to teaching ancient martial cultivation properly, so he temporarily halted recruiting new students. After laying the foundation for the first group of students, they would recruit new ones.

Lan Xin also recruited three hundred female students.

Now the entire Biyun Mountain was thriving with life. Ever since so many experts came, the mutant monsters below Biyun Mountain no longer dared to descend the mountain easily.

Yang Xiao found Lan Xin alone.

"Lan Xin, how does it feel?"

"Hmm, I’ve been super busy recently. I suddenly feel that I’m different from before. I am completely immersed in my current life."

Yang Xiao nodded.

He knew that Lan Xin was now not only full of confidence in expanding Shenming Mountain Sect but also excited about having recruited 300 talented individuals.

Through interactions with Huang Wen and others during this period, she had also become more cheerful and energetic.

Yang Xiao took Lan Xin to the Genetic Store.

"I have some Crystal Coins here. You should first make a breakthrough in Enhanced Gene, then help Xiao Lan and Ju Yun with their Enhanced Gene breakthroughs. The other junior sisters might have to wait a while."

Lan Xin said:

"Yang Xiao, you helped me rebuild Shenming Mountain Sect, how could I use your Crystal Coin resources? I think we can come up with ways to quickly level up ourselves. There are a large number of mutant monsters around Biyun Mountain and the surrounding wilderness. If we hunt some every day, we should be able to break through quickly."

Yang Xiao laughed and said:

"No, that would be too slow. You now have people like Huang Wen, Qin Yu, and others under you. They all have the Primary Level cultivation of the Enhanced Gene. As their leader, how can you be below them?"

Lan Xin fell silent, thought it over, then nodded, saying:

"Okay, I’ll use your Crystal Coins first and repay you later."

Yang Xiao smiled and said:

"Alright!"

Lan Xin was only 5 Wisdom points away from breaking through to the Primary Level of the Enhanced Gene. Yang Xiao spent several million Crystal Coins and acquired a large quantity of Genetic Potions from the Genetic Store, bringing Lan Xin up to the Primary Level of the Enhanced Gene.

After completing the upgrade, Lan Xin was overwhelmed with excitement. From now on, her ancient martial skills would burst forth with even greater combat power.

Lan Xin stepped out of the Genetic Store and couldn’t wait to give it a try. In a flash, she flew into the air.

Lan Xin spread her arms, running the Qinggong of Divine Mountain Snow, and a pair of wings appeared faintly beneath her arms.

With a powerful flap of her arms, she soared forward again.

Lan Xin yelled excitedly, flying continuously in mid-air, mastering the advanced skills of Divine Mountain Snow.

Lan Xin’s flight above the plaza of the administrative building had already caught the attention of many people. At the moment, there were around one to two hundred people practicing the internal cultivation methods of Shenming Mountain Sect outside. Seeing Lan Xin in the sky, someone exclaimed:

"Aiyo, everyone, look! Senior Sister Lan Xin can actually fly in the sky now?"

Thus, everyone all raised their heads to look towards the midst of the sky.

Huang Wen, Qin Yu and others were also there.

Seeing Lan Xin’s elegant flying posture and her light movements, many people were filled with envy.

Huang Wen and the others have bird beast souls and can transform into beast souls to fly, but many more have never imagined that they too could fly one day.

Xiao Lan and Ju Yun and the others were teaching everyone how to practice the Divine Mountain Skills in the plaza. Seeing their senior sister flying in the sky, they excitedly said:

"Did senior sister break through her enhanced genes?"

"My God, senior sister broke through, she did it!"

After flying several circles, Lan Xin landed in front of Yang Xiao, looking at him with deep affection.

"Thank you, Yang Xiao!"

Yang Xiao chuckled:

"I should be the one thanking you. Look, you’ve helped me so much. So many people are practicing Divine Mountain’s ancient martial arts. Once they succeed in their practice, our Nanmu City’s combat power will be even stronger. They will then be able to protect themselves from bullying, as well as their friends, and protect our Nanmu City."

"No matter what, I’m very grateful to you!"

Yang Xiao nodded, handing a black crystal card to Lan Xin and said:

"You take Xiao Lan and Ju Yun to the Genetic Store to enhance your realms. I have to go to Shaolin Temple to help Monk Ben Yin and the others with their genetic evolution."

Lan Xi hesitated for a moment, but finally accepted Yang Xiao’s black crystal card. Now was not the time to be polite about face-saving; only by showing their own stronger strength could others respect and rely on her, and could the Shenming Mountain Sect truly be rebuilt.

Yang Xiao arrived at Shaolin Temple, and together with Xia Luo, brought Monk Ben Yin and Ben Guo into the Genetic Store.

"Monk Ben Yin, I have discussed with Xia Luo. Using the public income of crystal coins from Shanyun City, Xia Luo will help three people from Shaolin enhance to the enhanced gene primary level. Let’s start with you and Monk Ben Guo today. You choose another one."

Monk Ben Yin and Ben Guo were immediately overjoyed upon hearing this:

"Amitabha! Then on behalf of Shaolin Temple, I thank Brother Yang in advance."

"Hey, there’s no need for such formalities with me."

Monk Ben Yin smiled faintly and nodded.

Monk Ben Yin was under a lot of pressure. Gong Yu, Xia Luo, Xiao Zhe, Zhao Gang, Long Yongjun, Zhou Qiang, and over a dozen others with enhanced genes primary level or above were at Shaolin Temple. All these people were strong fighters; their beast souls and soul skills were formidable. Monk Ben Yin was just at the level of advanced primordial gene, and often without showing his trump card, he could not subdue these fierce individuals.

If the master’s realm is lower than that of the disciple, where can the confidence to teach martial arts come from?

Monk Ben Yin, Ben Guo, and Ben Xun, the three masters, completed their genetic evolution, collectively spending over ten million crystal coins from Shanyun City, which made Xia Luo feel the pinch for quite a while.

That was still because the monks were already at a high level in their cultivation, otherwise, it would have cost even more crystal coins.

The three Monks Ben Yin were thrilled, running out of the Genetic Store.

In the sky, a huge sparrow flew by, and suddenly Monk Ben Yin took a quick step forward, his body shooting up more than thirty meters into the air. He struck at the sparrow in midair with a palm from ten meters away.

The sparrow, with wings spanning over ten meters, squawked and then fell directly from midair, landing motionless on the ground.

Ben Guo, twenty meters away from a large tree, formed orchid hands, his face smiling, and flicked his fingers towards the distant tree repeatedly.

The sound of piercing the air was heard, and the roots of the distant tree were penetrated by several holes.

Yang Xiao was startled inside,

"Holy shit, the legendary Shaolin seventy-two skills, the Flower Pinching Finger?"
