Chapter 640 16: Zhuangzi, Free and Unfettered Soaring_3

The young man slowly said, "Are you willing to teach me?"

Lady Jade Face nodded with a smile, "Naturally."

"You saved me once, sir."

"I must find a way to repay your kindness."

Saying this, she had a forlorn expression, almost tearful, and softly said, "A humble woman like me, wishing to offer myself, but you might not think much of it."

"I can only offer a martial technique to repay your favor."

The young man frowned slightly and lightly scolded, "Speak properly."

"Don't be mischievous."

Hearing the young man's light reprimand, Lady Jade Face transformed from an enchanting to a compliant demeanor, nodding obediently and said seriously, "I am skilled in two movement techniques."

"One is an ancient secret technique passed down from the Kingdom of Qingqiu, of which I only know a little."

"Ordinary people find it hard to practice."

"Only masters of the Innate Realm can barely use it to control the wind, and they need some roots to achieve it."

This technique, she did not elaborate; if the young man wanted to practice it, he would have to fuse with her, borrowing the Qi from her body to achieve a bit of it.

The ancient secret technique is very difficult to practice, as the world changes, many secret techniques have lost their effectiveness.

Seeing the young man deep in thought, Lady Jade Face continued, "The other technique is called 'Wandering with the Wind' from Zhuangzi, 'In the North Sea'."

"I have another technique, which must be rooted in 'Human World', cultivating the heart in the mundane world."

"If you want to learn, sir."

"You might have to start with mastering Zhuangzi."

Wandering with the Wind?

Could it be the Divine Art of the North Sea?

The young man looked quite surprised, seemingly very interested; Lady Jade Face took out a scroll, which was from Zhuangzi's inner chapters. At first glance, it didn't look like a martial arts manual, but turning to the back, there were methods for channeling Qi; however, the origins of this technique are based on Zhuangzi's philosophy.

To enter the Dao with this, one must first thoroughly study Nan Hua Jing.

Not the Divine Art of the North Sea.

A technique based on Zhuangzi's philosophy isn't that malevolent; the 'Wandering with the Wind' section is a very clever lightness skill. When perfected, it allows one to appear to fly or move with the wind. However, some parts are indeed obscure, and without a teacher, a deep understanding of Nan Hua Jing is needed.

The young man couldn't help but look up and say, "Since you are versed in Zhuangzi and practice 'Wandering with the Wind', how come you exude such a bewitching aura?"

It seems the monk was wrong in saying that this technique was unrelated to a person's disposition.

Some demonesses even after practicing these techniques don't become saintly women.

Lady Jade Face almost lost composure hearing this, feeling a tightness in her chest; she felt a faint pain, yet found the young man's cheekiness endearing, as she adored his attitude, her eyes were filled with joy seeing him.

The martial world praises her for having an ethereal and jade-like elegance, where does the bewitching aura come from?

Irritating, annoying.

The young man flipped through the scroll and said in surprise, "Where did you get this technique from?"

"Could you be the true heir of the Daoist sect?"

Lady Jade Face's face showed a hint of pride, smilingly said, "I once cultivated in the North Sea and met an eccentric itinerant practitioner by chance; he claimed to search for the Kunpeng."

"That person was quite mysterious."

"He challenged me to a Qinggong competition across the sea, and I luckily won. He threw down a scroll of Zhuangzi before jumping into the sea himself."

"I don't know where he went afterward."

Speaking of this strange person and event, Lady Jade Face was in high spirits, recalling with her eyes closed, "That person was odd, his cultivation was impenetrable, not knowing any Jianghu martial arts, yet in a class of his own."

"He studied Zhuangzi, wanting to find the Kunpeng, the North Sea, and the ends of the earth."

This is as if he wants to go to the North and South Poles.

The young man was quite intrigued by this.

He opened 'Wandering with the Wind' and looked at the methods for channeling Qi on it, frowning and said, "This movement technique requires the passage of the Foot-Spleen Meridian. I mainly practice the Lung Meridian of the Hand-Taiyin, can I practice it?"

Lady Jade Face nodded, "Most of the meridians in the human body are connected."

"There should be no problem for you practicing it."

"But to achieve minor success, you'd need to unblock several meridians."

"Yet it's still stronger than common lightness skills."

Common lightness skills like Grass-Flying Technique are very practical in the Jianghu, yet their potential is not high. Her movement skills blend various schools' teachings, making her close to a half-master, easily recognizable.

The primary focus on one Qinggong, others are complementary, understanding through analogy.

If the young man learns this 'Wandering with the Wind,' he definitely wouldn't perform it as flawlessly as Lady Jade Face, but with his refined Vajra True Qi, practicing it wouldn't go wrong, merely lacking in agility perhaps. Among many methods in the martial world, inner strength, Qinggong, and ultimate techniques are the hardest to pass on, whereas unarmed combat, weapons skills often spread, but without inner strength as a complement, it's hard to achieve great fame.

If the young man doesn't learn Superior Light Skills, he'd have to study Dao Sect's Wind Riding Talisman, Swift Travel, or Buddhism's Divine Foot Passage.

These methods have even higher thresholds, those who can use the Wind Riding Talisman are direct Dao sect heirs with countless blessings recited.

The Lu Shanjun's Six-Ding Six-Jia Protective Spell, if an ordinary person practices, requires three recitations morning, noon, evening, without years of arduous practice, it's ineffective.

In this world, spells are not rare, Maoshan Sect's Thunder Palm is even more renowned, and Great Virtuous Master Zhang Jiao is an expert in thunder law; even Zhuge's Eight Trigrams Formation is long-known in the Jianghu, yet fewer people master such secret arts now.

In the land of Ba and Shu, many experts practice secret arts, yet the witchcraft, perhaps only the Heavenly Silkworm Gu of the Five Immortals Sect is well-known.

Many strange techniques may not surpass martial arts.

In the Pre-Qin Era, Mo Family disciples ended up wielding swords; concerning martial world swordsmanship, Mo Family's heritage definitely ranks top three.

Mo Tong Demon.

Be it Jiu Li, or the Mo Family, losers enter Jianghu, merging together.

Common Jianghu people disregard lineage roots, but those with heritage pay much attention to dao lineage.

Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu, was the military school's consummate expert in killing aura.

The young man nodded happily, "Alright then."

"You teach me the flow of Qi."

Lady Jade Face's eyes shimmered, her slender jade hands already gently placed on his body, ready to teach him acupuncture point by acupuncture point, while also feeling his innate talent and foundation.

Water law and metal principle.

At least can utilize seventy to eighty percent of its power. When his inner strength is complete, transforming from acquired to innate, there'll be no concerns.

However, the young man was right about one thing, indeed Lady Jade Face's study of Zhuangzi wasn't very successful.

The 'Human World' she practices isn't worth mentioning.

Cultivating the heart in the mundane world.

She ended up cultivating into a demonic female, the way of emotionless Dao, but she turned it into the way of with emotion, in modern terms, she became a potential romance obsessive.

Whether she can eventually become emotionless and enter the Dao seems complicated.
