Chapter 169 - 105: 6 ’Power Level’ Arts of Hand, Fist, Palm, Finger, Claw, and Leg, Gaining 1 Ye Longxiang’s Head

Chapter 169: Chapter 105: 6 ’Power Level’ Arts of Hand, Fist, Palm, Finger, Claw, and Leg, Gaining 1 Ye Longxiang’s Head

And the Jade Pearl he wore... it actually had the effect of Nourishing the Divine Soul and enhancing one’s Dao Skill!

’This kind of effect... doesn’t that mean it’s at least a grade above Mortal Weapons?’

Such a thing was completely unheard of in all of Anning County!

Ji Xiu was already quite satisfied with the gains from this trip.

He then turned to the six stone walls. His expression grew serious, and his gaze began to burn with intensity.

’The Earth Treasure, the Jade Marrow Cold Lotus, can cure stubborn illnesses, and this Jade Pearl can enhance my Dao Skill.’

’But when compared to this Ye Longxiang’s Head...’

’...both of them pale in comparison.’

This, right here, was the life’s work of a Martial Artist!

It was worth comprehending!

"So difficult, so difficult, so difficult!"

"These six stone walls don’t have any summary. They record a hand, fist, palm, finger, claw, and leg art, respectively. It seems each has its own stance, yet they’re all interconnected."

"But... I can’t make heads or tails of it from just a few wall carvings."

"There are no annotations whatsoever for generating power, the proper techniques, how to circulate Force, or the acupoints involved."

"Is someone really supposed to grasp its Truth from scratch, just based on a few postures?"

"That’s ridiculous!"

Cai Ling’er had been completely immersed, but after a long while of trying to comprehend the carvings, she only felt lost in a fog.

Finally, she hung her head in dejection, planning to just copy the movements so she could go home and have her elders help her decipher them.

However, as the water from the Cold Pool receded, the figures carved on the stone walls began to fade as if they were evaporating. Her expression changed in an instant.

"Not good! This treasured Secret Martial Art has been carved here for far too long. Even if it was initially protected by a minor barrier infused with Divine Soul, now that the water has receded, it’s been worn down by the ages. It won’t last much longer!"

"Damn it..."

"For the inheritance of such a Grandmaster to vanish from the world, with no one to receive it... isn’t that a colossal waste?"

She looked utterly dejected.

Ji Xiu, however, did not react so strongly. He simply watched the six stone walls with a serious expression, as if determined to fully comprehend this Secret Inheritance before it faded away.

Watching him, a disappointed Cai Ling’er muttered:

"Stop staring. A Secret Inheritance is something that can only be created from the life’s work of a Qi Dao Grandmaster who has condensed a Treasure Pill."

"It’s not something you can just burn into your mind after a few glances and then slowly cultivate."

"If you could do that, you wouldn’t be some Boss in this tiny county. You’d be a traveling disciple of a Great Xuan Celestial Pillar, an heir to a giant Daoist Lineage, a supreme talent from birth!"

[The Tutor has observed the six Martial Stances of hand, fist, palm, finger, claw, and leg, perceiving the Truth in the form and rhythm of the Secret Martial Dao ’Ye Longxiang’s Head’!]

[Current Advances: Ten Thousand Laws Dao Seal Visualization Map, ’Dragon Gate Jump’ scroll. Quota for advanced Dharma Gates is full.]

[Would you like to imprint the ’Secret Martial Dao, Ye Longxiang’s Head’ into the ’Daoist Talisman’ for future advance?]

[Secret Martial: Ye Longxiang’s Head!]

[Master the six Martial Stances, hold your body like a jade tree, and use Qi and Aura to form leaves. Let thousands of Qi-leaves and Qi-auras solidify and converge into a Dragon Head. Strike with True Intent and vanquish all foes!]

[Advance Condition: Train the six ’Power Level’ Martial Arts of the hand, fist, palm, finger, claw, and leg to their peak, then achieve mastery through comprehensive integration!]

[Each Martial Stance must be practiced a thousand times to grasp its essence.]

[Once the six Martial Arts are mastered, the True Inheritance may be obtained!]

’Imprint.’

Ji Xiu thought to himself.

And then, the entire legacy of this True Skill of fist and foot... every profound mystery... flowed into one of his Daoist Talismans.

In the span of a few breaths,

Cai Ling’er watched helplessly as the figures on the six stone walls blurred and vanished...

She was utterly dejected:

"Sigh... All that for nothing!"

Seeing her looking as if she’d just lost a fortune, Ji Xiu chuckled.

"You want to learn it?"

"Give me a few days to comprehend it, and I’ll teach you."

At his words, Cai Ling’er’s eyes filled with contempt.

"You only glanced at it for a moment—less time than I did—and you think you can learn it?"

"You’re bluffing!"

"I’m not learning it from you. What if I end up with a cultivation deviation? That’d be a disaster, wouldn’t it?"

"Hmph!"

Hearing this, Ji Xiu raised an eyebrow.

"Oh?"

"Then you’d better not regret it."

Cai Ling’er crossed her arms, shot him a look, and huffed.

"I’m a woman of my word. Have you ever seen me regret anything?"

"Let me tell you, every decision I make—including becoming your maidservant—is a calculated move. You get it?"

"This is just a necessary sacrifice to befriend you, an advance investment."

"Ji Xiu, you’ve been outplayed by me and you don’t even realize it. You’re not my equal."

The young woman’s eyes were lively and charming. It was the first time he’d ever heard someone frame being defeated and captured in such a novel and self-righteous way, and Ji Xiu was secretly astounded.

"Such a fine calculation, my lady."

"In that case..."

Ji Xiu said with a grin.

"Then it’s settled."

"Don’t come begging me when the time comes."

Cai Ling’er heard him, her expression unconcerned. She even laughed to herself. ’Does he really think a Secret Martial Art is as common as cabbage? If they were that easy to comprehend, would the various Schools be so meticulous in selecting their disciples, so afraid of passing their arts to the unworthy?’

’What does ’Secret Inheritance’ even mean!’

’Each one is a synthesis of multiple Martial Stances, forged through more than a decade of a genius’s blood and sweat! It’s a threshold that ordinary people could never hope to cross in their entire lifetime!’

’And you say you’ll master it, just like that?’

’Then what does that say about the disciples of Secret Inheritances from the great Schools, who pour everything they have into this ultimate, lifelong pursuit?’

But she had no idea.

That in the near future,

because of this very decision, she would want nothing more than to grab the unconcerned girl she was at this moment...

and furiously slap her a few times.

That’ll teach you to be so stubborn!
