Chapter 606 5: White Snake, Ape, and Lu Shanjun (2)
Lu Shanjun revealed his tiger claws.
He signaled to the young man in front of him, "Since you have already unblocked the meridians for the Tiger Fiend Fist, you can now try to condense protective True Qi."
As he spoke, the True Qi in his body circulated, and his tiger claws gleamed with a metallic hue. When they clashed, sparks flew, as if striking metal.
The young man followed his lead, unafraid of death. True Qi surged, and a hint of gold appeared on his palms. With a casual strike, the large tree behind him was shattered into splinters.
The power was immense!
Is this really martial arts from Jianghu?
In the distance, Captain Lu watched with a look of shock. He couldn't help himself and started mimicking the young man's posture. However, his bit of Mana hadn't flowed through his body yet. Just by learning a few moves, his face turned pale, like gold paper, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, even his figure dimmed a bit.
"It's not possible!"
"The Mountain Monarch teaches the Dharma Gate of Vajra Subjugating Demons, but as a Yin spirit, I can't learn it at all."
"He teaches like this."
"That boy might face harm cultivating many martial arts in the future."
By this time, the two figures in the distance were ready to leave. The young man took a long look at the foot of the mountain before departing. Lu Shanjun was unaware at such a distance, but the young man seemed to sense something.
Captain Lu was surprised, unsure whether the other did it unintentionally or really spotted him.
"Could it be he can see through Yin and Yang?"
This Lu official pondered quietly, "That young man is truly extraordinary."
"Since the Mountain Monarch is only wandering in the world, I won't have to worry about it."
"Maybe..."
"Think of a way to befriend that young man."
Others don't know the boy's astonishing nature, but as a former head of the Six Doors, he understood how impressive this talent was. It might come in handy in the future, possibly helping him become a day-wandering spirit.
With this thought, his figure faded, directly entering a dream to communicate with his worldly descendants.
He had collected many martial arts texts in his lifetime; if the boy continued training haphazardly with the Mountain Monarch, he might soon go astray.
Helping him now might earn some goodwill in return.
Xiayi County.
The young man didn't feel any abnormalities; instead, he grew stronger. After clearing—or rather, running through—his Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian, as long as he continues breathing, his True Qi flows with it, automatically cycling through the Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian, and storing the refined Vajra Subduing Demons True Qi in his Dantian.
Normally, the True Qi of ordinary martial artists is without attributes. If they want to practice something unique, like unleashing an Ice Palm, they must use special meridians within the body to imbue their True Qi with attributes.
The Five Elements of the human body: lungs belong to metal, heart to fire, liver to wood, kidneys to water, and spleen to earth.
To cultivate True Qi with these five attributes, one must unblock the twelve standard meridians, similar to the Qi practitioners of the Yin-Yang Five Elements in the Ancient Era.
The young man didn't understand these complicated principles; he had mixed in the West before and loved the notion of brute force achieving miracles.
Nonetheless.
The Shijia Zhixiang Skill seemed to compliment the Tiger Fiend Fist perfectly, training them yielded twice the effect with half the effort.
The two indulged in a hearty feast once again.
But today, Lu Shanjun acted much more refined and even had the mood to emulate the heroic knights of Jianghu, procuring a Mountain-opening Saber for himself.
At that moment.
A well-to-do elder appeared at the bottom of the restaurant, looking around hastily, scanning the passersby, then he pulled aside a waiter and asked, "Have you seen two people?"
"One very tall and muscular, the other a handsome young man."
The waiter, startled at the sight of the man, respectfully bowed, "Mr. Lu."
"The two you're speaking of."
"They're probably in the private room upstairs."
Hearing this, the well-to-do elder sighed with relief, gestured to his servant, and took out a piece of gold, "Rent the entire Fulai Restaurant; all other guests' meals are on me."
"Send up all the best wine and dishes you have."
"Lu Yi."
"Also send someone to bring out my stored aged wine."
The well-to-do elder was thorough; he entered the restaurant, bowing apologetically to others, paying all expenses willingly. When meeting Jianghu people, he even had his servant present a token apology, small as it was. But with the gleam of white silver before their eyes, even the armed escorts were a bit more courteous.
For those unwilling to leave, he didn't force them out, offering to pay for them as well. He merely indicated to the proprietor not to receive any more guests.
Only then did the well-to-do elder wipe his sweat and cautiously approach the second floor's private room.
He had a surprise today.
While feeling lethargic from a spring nap, he dozed off briefly. Once awake, he had an encounter with his ancestor in a dream.
Second-floor private room.
The young man set down his chopsticks and looked at Lu Shanjun in front of him. Both had excellent hearing, and the commotion downstairs couldn't escape their notice.
Lu Shanjun looked puzzled, glancing at the young man, who was equally surprised, looking back at Lu Shanjun.
Both had no attachments.
The well-to-do elder paused briefly outside the door, signaling the waiter not to disturb these esteemed guests, then personally organized for the delivery of wine and dishes, even sending his men for good wines. He was the epitome of a local boss; even the restaurant owner came over to help.
"What a rare occurrence."
The young man looked at the tiger transformed in front of him and said, "Should we invite him in to see?"
Lu Shanjun looked puzzled, nodding, "I was just about to call him in to ask."
