Chapter 161 Old lady!
Bang! The window suddenly slammed shut without even a word of hello.
Hey, what a rude attitude! Qin Zhaoyue got angry and reached out to pull the window frame.
As a result, an embarrassing thing happened. The window didn't move at all, not even a bit.
She now has the foundation of the fifth level, which means that this cold girl started at the fourth level and is most likely in the Divine Martial Realm.
Qin Zhaoyue curled her lips.
According to the setting of the novel, this person must be a master with great talent in martial arts.
Maybe he exchanged a library of books for his freedom, and who knows, he might be happy with it.
Qin Zhaoyue was not disappointed even though he didn't get the hook. He just turned around and left.
"She's quite beautiful, but I don't know how old she is. Judging from Liu Yan's skin, she might be in her seventies or eighties..."
The whispering voice reached her ears, and the woman by the window flexed her knuckles and her breathing quickened.
Liu Yan...just from the name you can tell he's an annoying person.
Qin Zhaoyue turned back and strode into the main hall.
The hall was empty and there didn't seem to be anyone inside.
"Is anyone here?" She waved the token in her hand. "I'm here to learn martial arts."
The next moment, Qin Zhaoyue's eyes widened.
A haggard face suddenly appeared in front of her, which scared her to death.
My goodness, her heart was beating so fast that she quickly touched her chest and glared at the other person unhappily.
"Old lady, do you know that this will scare people to death?"
The old man had a calm expression and his eyes were calm.
Because of the problems with her cultivation method, her face was as bumpy and full of grooves as old tree bark.
It's no surprise that people who see something for the first time are easily frightened.
Without seeing her make any movement, the token appeared in her hand. "Follow me."
Qin Zhaoyue came back to his senses. He was clearly holding the token tightly, but in the blink of an eye it was in someone else's hands.
This person must be a character similar to the "Sweeping Monk", a master who is hidden from view.
I followed her with lingering fear.
"Where are we going?"
"Is the armory in this hall, or is there a secret passage or something leading somewhere else?"
"How many years have you been guarding here, old lady?"
old lady:……
Didn't you get scared just now? Why is your little mouth chattering now?
"I'm not deaf!"
My goodness, he howled in her ear at the top of his lungs, making it hurt.
He came to the pillar of the six-bay room and placed his palm on it.
Without any special movement, a crack appeared on the ground on the right side.
With the sound of springs and chains, a bookshelf slowly rose.
Qin Zhaoyue crossed his arms and looked away. The style of this book was a bit low-end, just an ordinary bookshelf.
At a glance, you can see that the numbers on them are from one to sixty-three.
"Didn't they say that all martial arts in the world were collected by the inner court? There are only sixty-three manuals?"
The old lady snorted coldly.
“What you brought is the highest level token, and the ones on the bookshelf are all techniques that can be cultivated to the Divine Martial Realm.
You think it's just cabbage, and you think it's not enough? Do you know that if any of it is released into the martial arts world, it will cause a bloody storm? "
Yes, Qin Zhaoyue accepted this statement.
"What's the next step? Do you choose the books for me or do I have to read them one by one? How long will it take to finish reading all sixty-three?"
The old lady frowned slightly. How come this girl has no common sense at all when she comes to learn the most advanced martial arts?
"Stretch out your hands and circulate the Qi."
"yes!"
Qin Zhaoyue agreed readily, so it seemed that there was no need to read every book one by one.
The old lady held her hand and carefully sensed the true energy in her body.
After a while, his frown deepened.
What's going on?
The old lady's furrowed brows made her look even older.
It's not surprising that the Qi in a fifth-grade warrior's body circulates naturally.
But having cultivated to this level, it is impossible for him to have no characteristics at all, there will always be some biases.
People have talents that they are born with and cannot be explained. This is also the basis for choosing a martial art.
For example, Yinzhe’s true qi is sharp; for Liuyan’s true qi tends to be fiery.
It is precisely because of these characteristics that practicing corresponding exercises can complement each other.
But the true energy in this little girl's body... doesn't have any special features at all!
The old lady concentrated and observed carefully. With her level of cultivation, she could see every little change clearly. Such a situation had never happened before.
After confirming again and again, she let go of her hand.
"How about it? What kind of martial arts is suitable for me to practice? Hurry and show it to me."
Faced with the interested Qin Zhaoyue, the old lady remained silent.
"Your true energy is somewhat special..."
Qin Zhaoyue's heart skipped a beat. This was not special at all. Her true energy was not cultivated bit by bit.
Yinzhe and Liuyan didn't notice anything, could it be that this old lady saw through it all at once?
The old lady didn't hesitate and went straight to the point of explaining the characteristics of Qi.
"Tell me first, what kind of skills did you practice before?"
"I haven't practiced any martial arts."
"Then where does your true energy come from?"
“It just came naturally.”
After two sentences, the old lady fell silent again.
She prided herself on being well-read, but she had never encountered anything like this before. After a long while, she spoke again:
"I've carefully sensed it, and your true Qi doesn't possess certain characteristics.
Just like a pool of clear water, it can be dyed any color.
That's not quite right, because water itself is a property."
The old lady didn't want to interfere with her choice, so she explained it very clearly.
“Using water as a metaphor for the Way, goodness surpasses goodness, and the goodness of water begins and ends well.
I use water as a metaphor simply to illustrate its universality, do you understand?"
Qin Zhaoyue nodded, "I understand. So, what technique should we choose now?"
This time the old lady didn't hesitate at all. She took out the technique numbered one from the bookshelf and handed it over.
"You have two choices. Either this one or every book on the shelf."
Qin Zhaoyue took it and looked at it, and was shocked at that time. He saw "The Infinite Secret of Ten Thousand Tribulations and the Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies" written on the cover.
"What kind of martial arts dares to have such a grand name? It's too arrogant."
The old lady put her hands in her pockets and said, "Master the techniques of the founding emperor."
Qin Zhaoyue: ...
"Wow!" Qin Zhaoyue's mouth twitched as he praised in an exaggerated tone, "That must be amazing!"
The old lady nodded, "No."
Qin Zhaoyue: ...
I'm just teasing you, I'm just teasing you!
She glanced at the other person unkindly, but the old lady remained calm.
"The main reason I recommend this technique is because of the word 'formless'."
According to the old lady, the founding emperor was gifted and this technique carried his wild and imaginative ideas.
The gap between the Divine Martial Realm and the First Level Realm is like a natural chasm, especially the First Level Realm.
The idea of breaking through to the first level in "The Infinite Art of Ten Thousand Forms, Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies" is from ten thousand forms to no form.
Simply put, it is the ability to simulate the characteristics of other martial arts, such as sharpness, blazing intensity, the five elements, etc., and then achieve breakthroughs after mastering them.
"The first level realm is already close to the Tao. There is nothing wrong with this idea itself."
Qin Zhaoyue keenly sensed the unfinished words and asked, "Wait a minute, what do you mean there's nothing wrong with it? Then what's the problem?"
The old lady did not hide it, "The problem is that the founding emperor never reached the first level in his entire life."
Qin Zhaoyue: ...
