Chapter 393: The worst possible hexagram, an extremely inauspicious omen.

As Dongfang Bubai and the others walked from the side courtyard into the inner courtyard, they noticed Chu Qinghe resting his face on his hand, looking thoughtfully at the wooden carving on the table. Dongfang Bubai and the others raised their eyebrows slightly.

As he walked toward Chu Qinghe, he subconsciously lightened his steps, so that he made no sound when he stepped on the ground.

When Qu Feiyan and the other girls noticed the movements of Dongfang Bubai and his group, they also became more cautious.

Before the women could take a few steps, Chu Qinghe, who was under the tree, seemed to have noticed Dongfang Bubai and the others who had returned to the inner courtyard. He then lightly raised his finger, causing the wine in the wine pot to split into nine streams and fall into the empty cups on the table.

After sitting down at the stone table and downing a glass of wine, Wanwan couldn't help but let out a comfortable groan as she enjoyed the cool, refreshing, and sweet aroma of the wine, as well as the soothing sensation in her stomach.

No matter the time, enjoying an iced drink while relaxing in the cool of the summer heat after a busy day can bring a sense of pleasure.

After taking a sip of his drink, Dongfang Bubai asked slowly, "What were you thinking about just now?"

In response to Dongfang Bubai's question, Chu Qinghe replied in a somewhat lazy tone, "Nothing, I was just thinking about the use of a martial art and who it should be given to."

Lianxing immediately asked curiously, "What kind of martial art is my brother-in-law talking about?"

Chu Qinghe replied, "The 'Return of Ten Thousand Swords' is a martial art that can be considered the highest level of swordsmanship."

Finally, Chu Qinghe added, "Middle-grade Dao level."

Upon learning the grade of the martial art "Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Source," the expressions of the group changed drastically.

Even when she looked at Chu Qinghe, her expression became more puzzled.

Clearly, they didn't understand why Chu Qinghe would teach such a high-level martial art to others.

Meeting their gazes, Chu Qinghe said calmly, "This martial art is special. It requires using a sword to break through acupoints, which means abandoning one's own martial arts. Then, one must cultivate a unique internal energy method. The process may take nearly a year to restore one's cultivation. It's not really necessary for you."

With the system in place, as long as they use the cultivation technique advancement cards provided by the system, the cultivation technique grades of Dongfang Bubai, Yaoyue, and Shuimu Yinji can all be improved.

As for even more powerful martial arts, it's only a matter of time.

It is indeed unnecessary to abandon one's martial arts and start over just for a mid-grade Dao-level technique called "Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin".

After hearing what Chu Qinghe said, the women finally felt relieved.

Qu Feiyan asked in confusion, "Even so, why would you, young master, give this mid-grade martial art to someone else?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe said slowly, "There is currently a matter concerning the Divine Land and the Great Xia Dynasty. Rather than having all the future matters weigh on our shoulders, we might as well take advantage of the time we still have to recruit some people who can help us in the future."

Then, Chu Qinghe looked at Dongfang Bubai, Yaoyue, and Shuimu Yinji and asked, "Are you interested?"

Upon hearing the voice, how could the three women, with their intelligence, not understand Chu Qinghe's meaning?

Dongfang Bubai glanced sideways and said, "You want us to use 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to One' to train some subordinates?"

Chu Qinghe said, "If it can be controlled well, it's not impossible."

Although Chu Qinghe and the others couldn't use the martial art "Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Source," it was still a mid-grade Dao-level martial art.

Dongfang Bubai, Yaoyue, and the Yihua Palace are not lacking in masters at the Grandmaster or even Great Grandmaster level.

As long as Dongfang Bubai and the others can ensure the trustworthiness of these people, or control them with poison, they can make these people abandon their cultivation and start over with the "Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin" technique. With the help of Chu Qinghe's pills and medicinal wine, they might be able to cultivate some experts at the Divine Seat Realm in a few years.

It might come in handy sometime.

Those who achieve great things, while adept at self-cultivation, also need to understand that one tree cannot support the whole forest.

When strength and circumstances change, one's perspective must also change.

As long as Dongfang Bubai, the three women, and even Chu Qinghe can keep them in check, what's wrong with having more experts in this land of Kyushu?

Yaoyue and Shuimu Yinji, who were standing nearby, clearly understood what Chu Qinghe meant.

After quickly weighing the options in her mind, Yaoyue spoke first: "We can give it a try, but you may need to prepare some unique poisons."

Chu Qinghe nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Qinghe said, "However, the resources are limited, and each of your forces can only select ten people."

Upon hearing what Chu Qinghe said, Dongfang Bubai and the other two women all nodded in acknowledgment, their faces showing thoughtful expressions, clearly considering suitable confidants.

Qu Feiyan and the others standing to the side didn't seem to be very interested in any of this.

When Wanwan's gaze fell upon Dongfang Bubai and the other two, a deep sense of envy appeared in her eyes.

Before meeting Chu Qinghe, Wanwan had never even heard of, let alone seen, martial arts at the Dao level.

But now, because of Chu Qinghe, Dongfang Bubai and the other two can use a mid-grade Dao-level martial art to select and train people from their subordinates.

Given the medicines and pills in Chu Qinghe's possession, one can imagine the strength of these people in the future, relying on this "Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin" technique.

Wanwan could almost foresee the future of the three forces: the Sun Moon Sect, the Flower Palace, and the Divine Water Palace.

It's likely that no other force in the entire Kyushu region would dare to provoke them rashly.

For a moment, Wanwan was incredibly grateful that Chu Qinghe had never been interested in a two-faced person like Shi Feixuan.

Otherwise, if Shi Feixuan were to become a sister to Dongfang Bubai and the others, what role would the Yin Kui Sect play in the future?
