Chapter 527: Practice Lightness Skills

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

As the sun dipped below the horizon, darkness enveloped the earth.

After dinner and a brief rest, Ge Lihua took her three young disciples to the courtyard to practice martial arts.

Chu Xuyao, suppressing his inner gloom, showed a face full of anticipation. “Master, are we practicing lightness skills tonight?”

Ge Lihua nodded seriously. “Before practicing lightness skills, you need to feel your inner strength. Without sensing it, you can’t practice these skills.” “Inner strength?” Chu Xuyuan said excitedly. “Is it like an extra energy in the body? I’m not sure how to describe it, but I can always feel it when I’m asleep.”

Ge Lihua’s cool eyes flashed with surprise. “You can feel inner strength in your sleep?”

Chu Xuyuan scratched his head, saying uncertainly, “Master, I don’t know what inner strength is.”

Ge Lihua then explained in detail what inner strength was. “Do you understand now?”

Chu Xuyuan nodded. “So, that’s inner strength.”

Chu Xuyao added, “I’ve felt it too. I just didn’t know what it was.”

Chu Qingyan looked at Ge Lihua. “Then I’ve felt it too.”

Ge Lihua was stunned.

Ge Lihua was astounded. Were these three children martial arts prodigies, so easily sensing their inner strength?

After a moment, Ge Lihua accepted this fact and continued teaching.

The three children easily crossed the most crucial initial step. Next, they could start the next phase… controlling inner strength.

Ge Lihua imparted a lightness skill manual to the three children. By mastering this manual, they could control their inner strength, making lightness skills effortless.

Under Ge Lihua’s patient guidance, the three children concentrated on their learning.

On the second-floor balcony, the Chu family stood silently, quietly watching the children learn martial arts.

Chu Qingzhi thought of something and went to Chu Qingning’s room.

Chu Qingning and Chu Qingyue shared a room, which was quite large. Chu Qingning had partitioned a small section with a screen, creating a makeshift ancient medical laboratory.

The partitioned area was lined with a large table against the wall, a row of wooden shelves, and various medical books, instruments, and bottles filled with medicinal ingredients.

This was Chu Qingzhi’s first time seeing Chu Qingning’s partition, and she was surprised but mostly impressed.

Chu Qingning said, “Fifth sister, there’s a lot of stuff here, and it might look messy. Tell me what you need, and I’ll get it for you.”

“I don’t need anything for now.” Chu Qingzhi sat down and began writing down the process for making a medicinal cream.

Chu Qingning stood beside her, grinding ink, curious. “What is this?”

Chu Qingzhi explained as she wrote. “Qingyan wants to fundamentally solve Chu Hongxiu’s facial spots. I thought of a medicinal cream that can remove spots. I’m writing down its production method.”

Chu Qingning smiled. “She’s quite thoughtful.”

Back in the courtyard, Chu Xuyuan was the quickest to grasp the concept. Feeling he could control his inner strength, he attempted to fly.

He did take off, wobbling through the air for about ten meters before starting to fall, panicking like a flapping duck mid-air. “All! I’m going to crash!”

His outcry startled the villagers, and many children ran over to watch.

“Look, Chu Xuyuan can fly!”

“He’s practicing lightness skills too? Isn’t he supposed to fly? Why is he falling?”

“If he hits the ground, his butt’s going to hurt, right?”

Ge Lihua swiftly flew over like a lark, catching Chu Xuyuan before he hit the ground. “Don’t be afraid, I will catch you.”

Chu Xuyuan was scared, but more exhilarated. “Master, I want to try flying again.”

Ge Lihua disagreed. “You’ve already exhausted your inner strength with that flight. Meditate now to recover it, and then you can try again later.”

Chu Xuyuan obediently nodded. “Yes, master.”

Ge Lihua beckoned Chu Xuyao. “Xuyao, your turn. Don’t be afraid; I’ll catch you too. You won’t fall.”

“Mm.” Chu Xuyao psyched himself up, then silently recited the mantra, took a deep breath, and leaped towards the sky.

He was airborne…

Chu Xuyao flew out of the courtyard, hovering about three to four meters above the ground. He didn’t dare look down, focusing straight ahead as he flew.

Just like Chu Xuyuan, he flew crookedly, up and down. The people on the ground gasped, afraid that he would fall.

“Xuyao is flying too!”

“That’s amazing, I wish 1 could fly too.”

“Xuyao, fly back here!”

The village children were even more excited than the participants, chattering non-stop and following along.

Chu Xuyao was more cautious than Chu Xuyuan. He didn’t fall, and when he felt his inner strength waning, he gently descended to the ground.

Ge Lihua generously praised him, “You flew well. With a few more practices, you should be able to fly smoothly.”

Chu Xuyao humbly responded, “Thank you for your guidance, Master.”

The sternness on Ge Lihua’s face softened into a smile. “You all are learning very well, even better than when I first practiced lightness skills. It took me ten days.”

Chu Xuyao tactfully replied, “That’s because we have a better master.”

Ge Lihua gently patted Chu Xuyao’s shoulder, “Sweet talker.”

Next, Ge Lihua encouraged Chu Qingyan to try. “Same as before, don’t be afraid.

Just fly boldly, I will catch you.”

Chu Qingyan looked trustingly at Ge Lihua and nodded. “Okay.”

She took a deep breath, recited the mantra silently, suppressed her fear, and lightly leaped into the sky.

However, her flight was too fast, and she vanished from sight in the blink of an eye.

Tang Jinghong was in his study handling official affairs when he heard an unusual sound. Looking up, he saw a figure flying past the window.

Sensing something was amiss, he quickly went outside.

As Tang Jinghong reached the front door, he saw Wen Shaoyuan flying over, carrying Chu Qingyan like a little chicken. “General.”

Wen Shaoyuan gently placed the stunned Chu Qingyan on the ground.

Ge Lihua also arrived and hurriedly embraced Chu Qingyan, “Qingyan, Qingyan…”

The village children who had gathered around sighed in relief upon seeing Chu Qingyan was alright. They had been scared when she disappeared so quickly during her flight.

It took a while for Chu Qingyan to come back to her senses. “As soon as I took off, my inner strength erupted uncontrollably, and I couldn’t control my speed.”

She thanked Wen Shaoyuan, “Uncle, thank you for catching me.”

Wen Shaoyuan nodded, “Be more careful next time.” With that, he leaped away and vanished.

Everyone was left astonished.

The group returned home.

Ge Lihua advised Chu Qingyan to rest on a stool. “You need to practice controlling your inner strength more, or next time it will be like today.”

Chu Qingyan earnestly replied, “Master, 1 understand.”

Li Qingyu touched Chu Qingyan’s head with concern. “Did you hurt yourself anywhere?”

Chu Qingyan shook her head and sweetly smiled at Li Qingyu, “Mother, I’m fine.”

“That’s good. Take your time with the practice, we’re not in a hurry.” Li Qingyu had been so worried when Chu Qingyan had her mishap that she almost fell down the stairs running out of the house..
