Wei Huo was confused. Was the old monk practicing the Arhat Fist? The Tiger-Subduing Fist? The Tendon-Transforming Scripture?

In the end, the old monk approached the empty ground and opened his legs. His shoulders were as wide as his legs, and his body slowly sank.

The more Wei Huo looked at the man, the more familiar his sight felt. Wasn’t this…

The old monk’s movements were slow, but his aura was endless. His hands seemed to be hugging a ball.

Wei Huo blurted out, “Isn’t this the Taiji Fist?”

Why is a monk like you practicing the Taiji Fist?

The old monk smiled and said, “I had yet to come to this mountain when I was young. At the time, the government encouraged me to practice the Taiji Fist and Qi Cultivation. I followed suit and got used to it. I could not stop.”

After some practice, Wei Huo heard a notification.

“Do you want to learn the 24th simplified Taiji Fist?”

Of course, Wei Huo had heard of the famous Taiji Fist. He had to learn it since he had the chance.

Wei Huo fought the old monk for a while. There was a new Taiji Fist (Simplified) skill in his skill column—Level 0.

After the old monk finished his Taiji Fist, he was about to say that he wanted to meditate. Wei Huo knew that it was not convenient for him to disturb him, so he said, “Master, there’s a steeple on this mountain. Can I take a look?”

The old monk raised his brows slightly and said, “This tower has an extraordinary background. It’s said that it can suppress a demonic dragon from afar and cannot be approached. If you accidentally release a demonic dragon, the consequences will be unimaginable!”

Wei Huo was a little surprised. He asked, “It suppresses a demonic dragon?”

The mountain was extraordinary. It seemed like it had a barrier that could isolate the high temperature outside. Plus, the buildings on the mountain had not collapsed even after 500 years. There had to be something wrong.

The old monk sighed. “Follow me.”

The old monk then started walking toward the steeple. As he walked, he said, “Benefactor, I know you’re not an ordinary person. However, the extremely powerful demonic dragon under the tower has a history of 1,000 years. You’ll definitely be unwilling to give up without an explanation. However, I hope you won’t pursue the truth. Curiosity killed the cat!”

Wei Huo asked, “What’s in the steeple?”

The old monk led Wei Huo to the bottom of the steeple. The steeple was five floors tall, but they did not go up the stairs. There was a small door locked by iron chains and a seal.

The iron chains were rusted and could fall off at any moment. They were also as uneven as if they could break at any moment.

The old monk sighed. “It’s only been dozens of days. The iron chains and locks have rusted so quickly. It seems like this tower can’t trap the demonic dragon!”

Wei Huo was speechless.

No, 500 years had passed. The iron had rusted so much that it was definitely not normal iron!

The old monk pushed the door open slightly. “Please take a look, benefactor.”

Wei Huo saw the scene inside the steeple through the crack. The steeple was empty, but the most important part was an ancient well. The ancient well was not big, yet there was a chain. One end of the chain was tied to a huge rock, while the other end was in the well.

Wei Huo was shocked. He said, “Could this be the Dragon Lock Well?”

Blue light was emitted from the well’s mouth. Wei Huo felt a slight chill as the blue light was emitted through the crack.

The old monk nodded and closed the door. “Since you understand, there’s no need for me to explain further. This tower was built to suppress the demonic dragon.”
