"What you said, senior brother, is about using the Lao Gong acupoint as the endpoint to gather righteous energy, and then unleashing it against the enemy!"
“Yes!” Li Shaozhi nodded.
"I was just wondering why we can't condense it inside our bodies! The ten fingers are connected to the heart, and there are blood vessels that go directly to the fingers. If we condense it inside our bodies and then shoot it out with our fingers, wouldn't that be a way to catch our opponents off guard?" Qin Mu explained.
The powerful energy gathered in his palm was easily noticeable. After all, to achieve great power, one needed to accumulate energy for a longer time, and in the midst of battle, it was difficult not to attract attention.
Upon hearing this, Li Shaozhi thought for a moment, then pointed his finger forward.
Unfortunately, the aura of righteousness he unleashed with his finger was not only small, but also dissipated without a trace after traveling only three meters.
"I can't do that. At most, I can only use it for sneak attacks. In actual combat, I can't even break through someone's protective spiritual energy! And I need to have enough righteous energy of my own. It seems that you are much better than me in this aspect, junior brother."
"Junior brother, you can continue studying it. It should be useful against enemies, at least enough to disrupt them," Li Shaozhi said with a wry smile.
Qin Mu understood his meaning. The Yangwu Sword Technique was originally defensive, so harassment was not very effective, especially since one had to maintain a calm and focused mind.
However, Qin Mu found it very interesting. He could shoot ten meters, and his fingers were as thick as a finger. Wasn't this the legendary Six Meridian Divine Sword? Qin Mu excitedly pointed left and right in the yard, making more than a dozen round holes in the mud before stopping, satisfied.
Gathering his inner strength, he felt it wasn't that difficult, nor would it take too much time. Based on what he had just experienced, he figured launching it a hundred or so times shouldn't be a problem.
Seemingly taken aback, Li Shaozhi made an excuse that he had to attend to official business and told Qin Mu to go tomorrow.
Having made a good haul, Qin Mu left the Li family happily. He remembered the furniture he had promised Li Shaozhi, so he made a special trip to the commercial street, where the furniture workshop was located. It was the commercial street's warehouse, and not many people were using it at the moment, so he occupied it for the time being.
After arranging for a batch of furniture to be delivered to the Li family, Qin Mu went to the yamen again, since they were already at the door.
It was confirmed that the Six Doors had issued a recruitment notice and assigned some tasks. After all, the Six Doors had nearly a thousand people, and apart from those who stayed behind and those who went out as undercover agents, the rest of the people needed to be given some things to do.
Unfortunately, Princess Changning was out, so Qin Mu didn't stay long and went home.
Practicing sword techniques, including finger qi and palm qi, is like getting a new toy; you only stop when you're tired of playing with it.
There's a pond at home, so there's no need to worry about damaging the ground; you can stand to one side and splash water everywhere.
Bu Mang stared in disbelief, a pang of sorrow rising in his heart. The boy who once needed his brothers' protection seemed to be nearing the point where he no longer needed them. How long had it been? It was easy to imagine that in a while, surpassing them would be no difficult task.
"Don't be confused. There are always some geniuses in this world who are incomparable to ordinary people. Just like young master, at the same age, even if all eighteen of us joined forces, we still couldn't beat him." Seemingly knowing his brother's feelings, Bu Fang put his hand on his shoulder and said.
"Phew! I understand, brother. Huai Dao is powerful, so we feel a little more at ease." Bu Mang exhaled and said with a smile.
"It's great that you think that way. Besides, we're just helping them with some miscellaneous tasks. Do you really think we won't have anything to do?" Bu Fang said with a smile.
"Wow! Big brother, you're amazing!" Qin Yuling clapped and cheered when Qin Mu stopped.
"If you study hard, you'll be just as amazing as your older brother in the future!" Qin Mu said, stroking Qin Yuling's hair.
"Really?"
"Of course it's true, brother has never lied to you, right?"
"Yes, Big Brother didn't lie to me!" Qin Yuling thought for a moment, nodded vigorously, and then muttered to herself, "When I'm powerful enough, I'll definitely beat Luo Tong up!"
"Why did you beat up Luo Tong?" Qin Mu asked curiously.
"That slug always tries to steal my snacks!"
"Then you'd better keep it up," Qin Mu encouraged her.
"Big brother!" Qin Yuxin, who was always quiet and reserved, waited for her younger sister to finish speaking before stepping forward to greet her.
"Second sister, take this 'Azure Sea Tide Song' and practice it." Qin Mu frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then took out a booklet.
Although Qin Mu had managed to transcribe the sheet music for "The Rising Tide of the Azure Sea," he had tried it and found it had no special effects. Therefore, he was somewhat disappointed and gave it to Qin Yuxin as a practice piece.
"Thank you, brother." Qin Yuxin said her thanks and accepted the gift.
"No need to thank me, it's just an etude, it has no special effects. I'll find you a better one later."
Qin Yuxin was calm and composed. After becoming a Confucian cultivator, she gained an even more profound scholarly air. Looking at Qin Mu with gratitude, she said gently, "Brother, there's no need to trouble yourself. I am already a Confucian cultivator, so whether I have sheet music or not is not important."
"Okay! Big brother understands." Having an understanding younger sister always puts him in a good mood. Although Qin Yuxin said it wasn't important, Qin Mu still kept it in mind and planned to ask someone he knew if they had any suitable flute sheet music.
My second sister explained the Analects for a while and gave us a lot of practice questions before ending the day.
The next morning, Qin Mu didn't go to the Six Doors. Instead, he went to the mall first to make final plans for the first and fifth floors. Then he returned home.
At this time, the blacksmith borrowed from the Yuchi family had arrived, along with two leatherworkers. He was going to make leather bags, which was something that Changsun had pushed on him, so he couldn't refuse and of course, it was best to make them as soon as possible.
The leather was already tanned, and the designs were simpler for Qin Mu; his main task was to teach the two leather craftsmen. As for the blacksmiths, they would be responsible for the accessories on the bags.
"Young Master, you're putting us in a difficult position. This should be done by a craftsman who specializes in making jewelry! We have no problem forging weapons, but we can't do such delicate work well!" the two blacksmiths complained. Having spent a long time with Qin Mu, they knew that he was very easygoing and would agree to any request that wasn't excessive. They could also chat with him casually.
Looking at the blacksmith's rough hands and thick fingers, Qin Mu realized that he had indeed made a mistake. It was really too difficult for the blacksmith to forge gold and silver ornaments.
"It's nothing, just some simple things. If it were really complicated, I wouldn't ask you to do it! Besides, these things need to be kept secret, it wouldn't be good if outsiders learned them." Qin Mu calmly found an excuse to cover up that he had overlooked this point.
Qin Mu drew up more than ten blueprints for backpacks, shoulder bags, and handbags of different sizes, and handed them over to several craftsmen. The rest was up to them; once the finished products were completed, the people in the palace could make them according to the blueprints. With samples as a precedent, there would be no problem in innovating.
