The eighteen palms of the dragon were created by Xiao Feng, the leader of the Beggars' Sect.

At first, it was twenty palms. Later, Xiao Feng improved it and turned it into eighteen palms. The reason for the improvement is that the moves of the latter palms are cumbersome and extremely complicated, and the power has not been enhanced too much, so it is of no use value.

Since the master of the Beggars' Sect who invented the method of making the dragon palm, from the time when the dragon palm was reduced to 28 palms in Xiao Feng, Hong Qigong and Guo Jing successively used it to make a great impact on the Jianghu, and gradually lost it after Yeluqi. At the end of Yuan Dynasty, there were only 12 palms left. After Shi Huolong died at Cheng Kun's hand, the Beggars' Sect was probably lost. Xiao and Hong were deeply impressed.
