Translator: 549690339
“Gather the vitality in your body into twelve lotuses… I suppose you’ve also realized that the Quake Technique’s effectiveness in real combat sets a high threshold for vitality…. Have you also wondered why I, at the Minor Level, can suppress you in the Great Success Realm?”
Teacher Chang looked over with a beaming smile.
Pei Jinye wore a face of humility and willingness to learn, “Indeed, I was curious before, but now I suspect it has to do with Teacher Chang’s volu of vitality.”
“Correct, your ability to consider these matters shows your mind is sharp, and as long as you don’t take a wrong turn in the future, there’s a bright path ahead of you,” Teacher Chang praised generously.
Pei Jinye remained modest, “Teacher Chang is too kind, there is still much for this junior to learn from you.”
Teacher Chang let out a hearty laugh.
He looked at Pei Jinye with satisfaction.
Initially, he only had a slight interest in this disciple who had not long entered the Inhouse, out of admiration for talent.
But now, after more interaction, he truly appreciated him.
There was a sharpness about him that ordinary people lacked; he spoke and acted neither servile nor overbearing, understood manners, and was humble… A truly fine seedling.
It was just a pity that he wasn’t from the Body Technique System…
Teacher Chang sighed softly in his heart.
“It’s my own greed…”
He gestured for Pei Jinye to sit down and began to personally instruct him in the practice of “Twelve Lotuses”.
“With “Twelve Lotuses”, there’s no need to cultivate the “Drawing Blood Art”… “Drawing Blood Art” is rely a general ntal thod, not even a tenth as good as “Twelve Lotuses”…”
“Pay attention to the feeling of my fingers, where I press, that’s where you guide the vitality… Its template is actually similar to the “Drawing Blood Art”, but the essence is quite different.”
“Yes, just like that….”
In the blink of an eye, half a day passed.
Finally, relying on his own abilities, Pei Jinye successfully cultivated “Twelve Lotuses” through once.
The attribute panel updated:
“Twelve Lotuses”: Beginner 1.08%!
Indeed, his strength had greatly improved compared to before his awakening.
So the increase in proficiency was much quicker.
What’s more, during the cultivation, he increasingly realized that “Twelve Lotuses” was much more intricate than “Drawing Blood Art”.
If “Drawing Blood Art” was like a one-dinsional function, then “Twelve Lotuses” had already reached the complexity of high-order partial derivatives.
The circulation of vitality was already very complicated.
“Being able to grasp the essentials in just half a day, your talent is indeed exceptional,” Teacher Chang complinted again.
Pei Jinye said modestly, “It’s all thanks to Teacher Chang’s guidance.”
If it weren’t for the 1% proficiency he added, who knows how long it would have taken.
Of course, with Teacher Chang still here, he dared not rashly increase his proficiency for fear of the old master noticing sothing amiss.
“Well done. Cultivate “Twelve Lotuses” for now, and when the ti is ripe, I’ll teach you so techniques for nurturing vitality and gathering strength. My discipline leans towards health maintenance, mostly techniques for increasing vitality, and there’s not much for attack… However in this day and age, fighting and killing are not matters that ordinary people can get involved in; life is all about living longer,” Teacher Chang patted Pei Jinye’s shoulder and then gazed at the sun-drenched woods as he spoke profoundly, “Techniques to protect oneself are sufficient, indulging in too much killing only leads one deeper and deeper…”
“Your student understands,” Pei Jinye felt a chill in his heart.
Was he being too jumpy, or was there an implied ssage in Teacher Chang’s words?
Yet he didn’t feel he had exposed anything.
“Teacher Chang…”
It was during a silent gap in the conversation between Pei Jinye and Teacher Chang that a voice filled with deep resentnt floated over softly.
Pei Jinye was stunned.
He turned his head to look.
Tang Huoyang was staring at them eagerly.
Teacher Chang knocked his smoking pipe twice and took a draw, “smack,” “How co you are still here?”
Tang Huoyang:
Teacher Chang turned his head and said to Pei Jinye, “Cultivate well these days; I will check in from ti to ti.”
“Yes, Teacher Chang.” Pei Jinye nodded respectfully.
Teacher Chang walked over to Tang Huoyang and smoked quietly without a word.
Tang Huoyang felt uncomfortable under the scrutiny and forced a smile, “Actually, it’s okay if I don’t learn the other stuff, I can just learn the “Twelve Lotuses”, right?”
“Heh,” Teacher Chang scoffed coldly, “How long have you been at the guild? You haven’t even mastered the basic Quake Technique, and now you want to learn the “Twelve Lotuses”? Little Tang, it’s not that I, as a master, am biased, but your heart isn’t in it. With your talent, you could have mastered Shock last year, but a year has passed, and what’s the result?”
Tang Huoyang opened his mouth but said nothing.
Teacher Chang shook his head, “I’m not trying to discourage you. I’ve heard about your issues. The character ’emotion’ weighs too heavy on you. You’re still young; there’s no need to confine yourself to certain sentints. When you go out and see more of the world, one day you’ll have an epiphany.”
Tang Huoyang hung his head and remained silent.
Teacher Chang sighed, “Your brother ca to , and I won’t lie to you; I told him then, only when you can cultivate the Blood Guiding Art to the Minor Level will I pass on the subsequent ntal thod… Otherwise, your frail body simply can’t handle it.”
Tang Huoyang was silent for a while, then suddenly looked up, “Just the Blood Guiding Art to Minor Level?”
“Yes! Just that to Minor Level!”
“It’s a promise!”
“Scram, scram, scram, this old man doesn’t need to play tricks with a junior like you. But you need to hurry. As for Jinye, let’s not ntion him; he is born with talent. Just consider your peers from the sa year, Fang Tianjian, Jiang Lingsu, Wei Xia, aren’t they all stronger than you now?”
Tang Huoyang imdiately covered his face, “Stop scolding, stop scolding, don’t hit with any more critical blows to my tender young heart.”
Teacher Chang twisted the corner of his mouth.
He really had no way with this fool.
With a “smack” from the smoking pipe, he walked towards the gate, delivering a kick to Tang Huoyang’s butt as he passed by.
“Look at the state of you!”
Tang Huoyang staggered a bit but wasn’t angry.
“Master’s kick was good, Master’s kick was wonderful, Master’s kick deserves a round of applause.”
Teacher Chang swaggered off the back hill.
Tang Huoyang patted the shoe print on his behind without feeling any sha and cheerfully said to Pei Jinye, “Old Pei, you’ve made a killing this ti. Do you know how many people in the guild are cultivating the “Twelve Lotuses”?”
Pei Jinye looked over.
Tang Huoyang said mysteriously, “In my batch, just two, Fang Tianjian and Wei Xia. This ntal technique can be considered one of Teacher Chang’s unique skills. To be able to cultivate it ans you have truly entered Teacher Chang’s Dharma Eye.”
He spoke with envy, but he was even happier for Pei Jinye.
In Da Peng City, Tang Huoyang had no worries about food and clothing since there was a Fierce Dragon from the Tang Family.
But having interacted with Pei Jinye, he knew his dear younger brother ca from a common background, and it was really hard for him to stand out.
If Teacher Chang was willing to support him… that would be a different story.
Teacher Chang was no ordinary person; even his brother… that Fierce Dragon had to respectfully call him senior.
“Today you’re buying dinner for to share your good fortune.”
At those words, Pei Jinye chuckled lightly, “Let’s go, dinner’s on at the restaurant.”
