Chapter 690 33: Spiraling Skyward, the Art of Dancing Through the Air!
The eighth day after the massacre at Evil Valley, in the Library Pavilion.
Duncan and Fu Jianhan sat side by side, one looking at medical texts, the other reading a swordsmanship manual. A variety of tea and snacks were arranged next to them, along with a stunning beauty adding fragrance to their sleeves, attending to them closely. In contrast, next to Fu Jianhan, there was a refreshing coolness, with only a crimson gourd hanging, which he occasionally picked up for a sip of strong liquor.
When he comprehended a particular profound point, Fu Jianhan would rise with enthusiasm, leap into the courtyard, practice with his sword, and exclaim in praise of its magnificence.
This guy truly is a martial arts fanatic.
"Brother Duncan,"
"How is your understanding of the formless sword qi coming along? Using your fingers as a sword to emit sword radiance truly astonished me."
Fu Jianhan had just comprehended a dharma gate that could serve as both a knife and a sword, using a knife to perform sword moves. He sat on the windowsill, stretched out his hand, caught a pear in his palm, and leisurely took a bite.
Dragon Capturing Skill.
The young man was very generous. Seeing that Fu Jianhan was interested, he taught it to him casually. Fu Jianhan too had pure True Qi, enabling him to retrieve objects from the air, but not beyond a zhang.
"I've just started peeking into it, a bit clueless."
At these words, Duncan looked up and reached for the teacup, finding it empty, whereupon Yin Meitang stepped forward to refill it, and then respectfully stepped back.
He took a sip, sighed, and said, "If it were a conventional dharma gate, it would have about the same power as a slashed sword qi."
"Not that useful, only useful against ordinary people in the martial world."
"These medical classics are also profoundly deep."
Hearing this, Fu Jianhan laughed heartily, saying, "Brother aims to become a great grandmaster in martial arts; you probably have to read a lot of books."
He was obsessed with the sword, without needing to learn that much.
Returning today, Fu Jianhan saw that the young man's vital energy was still like a blazing sun, indicating his mind was steadfast, unlike ordinary people, capable of enduring so much.
"I have a secret technique,"
"called Innate Pure Yang Sword Qi; would Brother Duncan like to comprehend it?"
"However, gold and fire counter each other."
"You can comprehend it but can't practice it; otherwise, it might damage your heart and lungs. In the future, if you achieve Five Elements Unification or alter your inner strength's five elements, you might be able to perform it." Fu Jianhan was quite free-spirited.
Duncan became interested and nodded, "Let's hear it, and I'll use it as a reference for energy circulation methods."
In this world's martial arts, Five Qi Chaoyuan is fundamental.
This means the body's five qi: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. The martial arts of the world are actually a convergence of the Hundred Schools of Thought, clearly biased towards the Yin-Yang School.
Different inner strength exercises run through different meridians, allowing the change of True Qi's five elements property without altering inner strength.
Five Qi unified into one is Hunyuan Oneness.
When you reach the peak, there are no taboos in any cultivation method.
If you speak strictly, the highest realm of martial arts is not about shattering the void, but about becoming a True Immortal in Hunyuan, though no one has reached that step.
Even Chiyou is far off.
Ordinary people generally cultivate in one pole: gold, wood, water, fire, or earth. After reaching a certain realm, they pursue the extreme of yang and the extreme of yin, and by then, they have roughly entered the Tao.
Fu Jianhan didn't hide anything, for the young man had taught him everything before, imparting all he was curious about.
It was merely an innate pure yang sword qi.
What did he have to withhold?
Duncan held no sectarian bias. In this world's techniques, whoever wanted to learn around him, as long as he had the time, he would teach them. Even the maids around Lady Jade Face wanted to learn his imitation of the Dragon Capturing Skill, he would impart it all. Whether they could learn it depended on their own ability.
In the martial world, no development for so many years, losing many supreme skills is due to treasuring secrets, otherwise, the world should be thriving in martial arts and immortal cultivation.
It might produce someone who achieves the Dao through might.
The spiritual energy tide in this world is declining, yet martial arts have advanced to this level, surpassing the ceiling of the Root World by an unknown amount.
Duncan borrowed the innate pure yang sword qi to comprehend a little about the energy circulation method.
Fu Jianhan was right; true qi's five elements indeed can't be recklessly altered, or it leads to deviations. To integrate all skills, it is estimated that in the future, he still needs to ponder Five Elements Unification and Hunyuan Oneness.
"Young Master,"
Soon after, Lady Jade Face walked in gracefully in a moon-white long dress, her gaze towards Fu Jianhan showing a hint of disdain.
This guy is constantly drunk, exuding an unpleasant odor, unlike the young master, charming and lovely, with even the surrounding air being fresh.
Lady Jade Face is somewhat of a lovesick romantic with physiological preferences; whenever she sees the young man, her eyes gleam, but seeing Fu Jianhan makes her willow brows arch.
The two have had quite a few interactions before. Lady Jade Face often showed mercy, but today she feared that Fu Jianhan would lead the young man astray. This guy cultivates the Wine God Incantation, a peculiar secret technique, transforming alcohol into True Qi, using wine as fire, and also practicing Drunken Lying on the Eastern Sea Technique, almost becoming a big drunkard.
To Fu Jianhan, wine is a supplementary elixir, the stronger the better. He often brews poisons, medicinals, and demon cores in wine; anything can be soaked in wine.
He's almost turned into a drunken hero.
Seeing Lady Jade Face, Fu Jianhan also felt a headache, quickly saying, "I'll take my leave first."
"Yesterday, I encountered people from the Five Immortals Sect and caught a few of their big poisonous scorpions."
"It's perfect for soaking in wine."
"Tonight, we can have a small drink."
This guy is daring. The big, fat scorpions used by the Five Immortals Sect's voodoo masters for practicing their Five Poisons Technique, he stealthily caught some of the biggest and fattest to soak in wine, hence the Five Immortals Sect people are now looking for him everywhere.
Once Fu Jianhan left, Lady Jade Face's previously furrowed eyebrows instantly smoothed, and her beautiful eyes sparkled like spring water.
A woman's mood is as changeable as the weather in the Wushan Mountains.
"Young Master,"
"Today, we'll discuss the medical school's theory of meridians."
