Chapter 544: Chapter 303: Transmission of Skills (2)
But this was just the worst outcome. Betting on a categorized Martial Arts Treasure Chest was not without its risks, but if successful, why not take an extra chest?
While weighing the pros and cons in his mind, those who had changed clothes gradually gathered around.
Chu Qing snapped out of his thoughts from the system and led them away from Qiushi Manor.
He didn’t take them directly to Tongyao City because a little preparation was needed.
Thus, early the next morning, Chu Qing took out some silver and entrusted Shopkeeper Zhou to buy a house.
Only then did he bring those children in from outside.
It is worth mentioning that Niao Shisan heard about this from Yu Shiliu and decided to stay in Tongyao City and live with them.
Chu Qing did not refuse and gladly agreed.
The whole matter was resolved in a small morning, and when he finished handling it, the three of them took Yu Shiliu and boarded Shopkeeper Zhou’s caravan again. This time, except for occasional purchases, they decided to accelerate their journey and avoid entering the city as much as possible.
The situation of the caravan hadn’t changed much.
It was just that Niao Shisan was replaced by Yu Shiliu, and Chu Qing personally drove the cart.
The three girls chatted casually in the carriage.
Yu Shiliu originally thought she shouldn’t enjoy such treatment, especially when Chu Qing personally drove the carriage. It startled her, and she tried to compete with Chu Qing for the right to drive, but failed.
So she was restless all the way.
Until they set up camp at night, the young girl couldn’t believe she’d sat in the carriage for a whole day while Chu Qing drove.
Because of this, when Chu Qing called her to the carriage to find him, Yu Shiliu felt like the sky was falling.
Afraid that Chu Qing thought her unruly and planned to drive her away.
Before stepping into the carriage, she thought of many outcomes, and the more she thought, the more scared she became, sweating profusely.
Chu Qing looked up at her, slightly surprised:
"Is it very hot?"
"Young master, please don’t drive me away, okay?"
Yu Shiliu, hearing Chu Qing speak, hurriedly pleaded.
Chu Qing was puzzled:
"When did I say I would drive you away?"
Seeing the unease on her face, he shook his head:
"Don’t overthink things daily. Tonight, I called you over to ask you...
"If I wanted to teach you some self-defense skills, what would you like to learn?"
Yu Shiliu was bewildered:
"What?"
Chu Qing frowned slightly, feeling his expression was already clear.
But after thinking about it, he said:
"Saber Technique, Sword Technique, Fist Technique, Palm Technique, Claw Technique.
"Which of these five do you prefer?"
He knew too much martial arts, so of course, he had to give people choices.
Yu Shiliu took a deep breath and then knelt in front of Chu Qing with a thud:
"I will follow my benefactor’s guidance!"
"... Don’t rush to kneel."
Chu Qing waved his hand:
"You can’t be considered my apprentice yet, and I currently have no plans for formally accepting disciples.
"Come on, tell me, which one do you like more?"
"I... I want to learn... the one where you wave your hand, and the flames roar."
Yu Shiliu carefully looked at Chu Qing, speaking slowly, prepared to stop if he showed any displeasure.
"Flame Saber?"
Chu Qing chuckled silently:
"You’re good at choosing, but to master this martial art, you still need advanced Inner Power.
"Once your Inner Power reaches a certain level, then you can begin practicing the Flame Saber."
"Then... will it take a long time?"
"At the least, it might take ten or eight years."
Chu Qing clicked his tongue, giving an estimate.
Yu Shiliu was immediately stunned, scratching her head:
"Then... can I switch to Claw Technique?"
"That’s possible too."
Chu Qing nodded:
"If you want to learn Claw Technique, you can start practicing now.
"However, for the Claw Technique to have power, Inner Power is also necessary.
"How about this, I’ll teach you a Secret Technique called ’Rebellious Divine Skill’!"
"’Rebellious Divine Skill’? What kind of martial art is that?"
"Rebellious, naturally means chaotic to the extreme.
"It is a Supreme Martial Art that channels Qi externally. If mastered, the Gang Qi around your body becomes unpredictable. An opponent attacking you will have their force redirected by the Gang Qi, dissipating into nothingness.
"Even more, if you cultivate to a high level, you can use the surrounding elements for your own purpose."
As he spoke, he suddenly flicked his hand, opening the curtain. Chu Qing reached out and grabbed, and two stones flew from the ground.
They circled around Chu Qing’s hand, not falling.
This was the result of Chu Qing using the Rebellious Divine Skill.
In fact, Chu Qing had not actually practiced this martial art, but with his profound Inner Power and the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, he dared not say there was any martial art in the world without secrets to him.
But having seen the Rebellious Divine Skill many times, it was not difficult for him to perform it casually.
Yu Shiliu, however, was dumbfounded.
After returning to her senses, she quickly said:
"I’m willing to learn. I’ll learn this Rebellious Divine Skill."
"Good."
Chu Qing nodded:
"Turn around, and I’ll help you with Qi Circulation."
At this time, making Yu Shiliu memorize the mantra was not very meaningful. It was better for Chu Qing to guide her in doing a circuit through her body, letting her see exactly which acupoints were involved.
Completing one Minor Circulation would undoubtedly leave a deep impression.
Chu Qing guided Yu Shiliu through three Minor Circulations before having her recite the mantra.
With that correspondence, there would be more to gain.
After this, Chu Qing got off the carriage and let her comprehend it by herself.
From then on, Chu Qing gradually taught her the Dragon Claw Hand martial art on the journey.
When teaching Shen Hongye, Chu Qing was in a hurry to leave, but this time, traveling together, he wasn’t in a hurry.
Thus, he taught more meticulously.
Occasionally recalling things not mentioned when teaching Shen Hongye, he thought of writing a letter when he had the time.
He didn’t know the current state of that little girl.
Yu Shiliu worked hard.
She knew the opportunity was rare. Sitting in the carriage during the day, she practiced the Rebellious Divine Skill. At night, after disembarking, she found a secluded place to practice the Dragon Claw Hand.
But neither of these martial arts was easy to master.
The Rebellious Divine Skill was profound and unpredictable, and even the Jade Dragon Immortal knew only the surface, far from mastery.
As for the Dragon Claw Hand... it was easy to learn but hard to master.
Each technique within it had been refined countless times, an unbreakable martial art, flaw-free from head to toe.
But mastering it to a skilled level, achieving perfection, was not achieved overnight.
Unless someone like Chu Qing, otherwise, it required the effort of water wearing down stone.
This evening, while Yu Shiliu practiced secretly,
A woman’s voice suddenly laughed:
"Where did this little child come from, and whose child could it be? Practicing martial arts here?"
"Who’s there?"
Yu Shiliu was startled, quickly turning to look for the source of the voice.
She turned around but found nothing, and when she turned back, she saw a Cyan Robe woman standing not far away, watching her.
Yu Shiliu’s heart instantly rose.
The opponent appeared mysteriously, surely a Martial World expert.
Being inexperienced herself, she definitely was not a match... If this person had malicious intent, what should she do?
Would her benefactor hear her call if she shouted?
Instinctively, she scanned around, feeling bitter inside.
The martial arts Chu Qing taught her, she cherished dearly, worried about others seeing during practice. This time, she picked an obscure spot.
It was also somewhat distant from where Chu Qing was... If Chu Qing couldn’t hear her cries, it might anger this expert.
Wouldn’t that make things even more dangerous for her?
After thinking for a while, she feigned calmness and cupped her fists:
"Yu Shiliu greets Senior. Is it that my practice disturbed you, Senior? If so, I’ll take my leave."
"A polite little girl, indeed."
The woman nodded, her eyes flashing over Yu Shiliu, chuckling softly:
"Since we’ve met, it’s fate. I wouldn’t want to see your talents buried.
"How about this: if you acknowledge me as your master, I can teach you peerless martial arts?"
