By the ti he returned ho, Wang Chen had already reverted back to his true self.
Wang Chen had possessed the Thousand chanisms Changing for quite so ti, and now he had beco increasingly accustod to using this mystical item to disguise his identity, skillfully concealing himself in complex environnts.
At this point, Wang Chen's skill in disguise could be said to have reached the level of a master.
Changing his appearance was just the first layer; altering his physique and temperant went deeper, and combined with the Stealth Breath Technique at the Great Perfection level, he wasn't afraid at all, even if a cultivator of the sa Qi-Cultivating Level or even those from the Purple Mansion were to take notice.
As soon as Wang Chen entered the door, he saw the landlord's son crouched on the ground counting ants.
Continue your journey on mvl
Upon hearing the sound, the latter quickly lifted his head, revealing a timid smile, and stood up to say softly, "Uncle Wang."
The little fellow had just turned ten this year but looked no different from a child of eight or nine.
With a big head and a frail body, though, his appearance wasn't bad; he would grow up to be a handso boy.
Wang Chen, who had rented the room yesterday, knew very little about Lady Ye's family of three, not even their nas.
A very polite child.
He smiled and patted the boy's head, saying, "Just call Big Brother Wang, what's your na?"
The little fellow timidly replied, "Big Brother Wang, my na is Ye Feifan, and my sister's na is Ye Feifei."
"Hmm."
Wang Chen nodded, "Nice na."
Perhaps encouraged by Wang Chen's kind deanor, the boy looked up and asked, "Big Brother Wang, my mom says I can't cultivate, do you have any way to let practice too?"
His eyes were filled with longing and hope.
"Immortal cultivation requires talent, which is the Root Bone."
Wang Chen patiently explained, "If you don't have the Root Bone for immortal cultivation, then you can't practice, and with my limited ability, Big Brother Wang can't help you."
"I see..."
Ye Feifan lowered his head in disappointnt, "Thank you, Big Brother Wang."
The light in his eyes had vanished.
Sohow, the little fellow before him suddenly reminded Wang Chen of himself from the past.
Or rather, the original owner of the body.
He thought for a mont and said, "Although you can't cultivate, you can learn martial arts. Reaching the Innate Realm through martial arts is not much weaker than a Qi Cultivator."
"Really?"
Ye Feifan's surprise turned into joy as he lifted his head, "Big Brother Wang, do you know martial arts?"
Wang Chen laughed, "I know a little bit."
"That's great!"
Imdiately, Ye Feifan turned and ran into the room, returning quickly with a clay piggy bank in his arms.
Under Wang Chen's puzzled gaze, the little fellow smashed the piggy bank to the ground with force.
With a loud "bang," the clay piggy bank shattered into pieces.
Fragnted Spirit Stones, glittering and shining, tumbled out!
Ye Feifan gathered all the Fragnted Spirit Stones, held them up to Wang Chen with trembling hands, and stamred, "Wang, Big Brother Wang, this is all I have, can, can you teach martial arts?"
All the Fragnted Spirit Stones he had collected were not worth a single Low Spirit Stone.
Wang Chen was silent for a mont, then nodded and replied, "Okay."
He reached out and took all the Fragnted Spirit Stones the boy held out into his sleeve.
Wang Chen certainly didn't need these Fragnted Spirit Stones, but accepting or refusing them made a fundantal difference.
The forr was an exchange; the latter, charity.
Even though these Fragnted Spirit Stones were insignificant,
Wang Chen was willing to give him a chance that might change his fate.
"Thank you, Big Brother Wang, thank you!"
Ye Feifan imdiately knelt down, wanting to kowtow to Wang Chen.
Though young, he was quite sensible and knew that Wang Chen had not agreed to teach him martial arts just for the sake of these Fragnted Spirit Stones.
He could only express his gratitude in this manner.
But Ye Feifan couldn't kneel down.
Wang Chen reached out to support him, and said earnestly, "I'm not taking you on as an apprentice, no need for such formalities."
Normally speaking, Wang Chen would need to undergo the Breakthrough Mansion before having the qualifications to take on an apprentice.
However, this was rely a rule within the sects, and as a Loose Cultivator, such rules held no aning for him.
But Wang Chen had no plans to take on apprentices either.
In half a year, after obtaining the Aperture Opening Pill, he was to advance to the Purple Mansion and then leave this place.
Having additional apprentices would an more karmic ties and entanglents.
Wang Chen asked, "Do you know how to read and write? Have you studied?"
"Yes!"
Ye Feifan nodded vigorously: "I've learned."
"That's good."
Wang Chen smiled slightly and said, "As long as your mother agrees, I will teach you martial arts. If she disagrees, then I will have no choice but to return all these Fragnted Spirit Stones to you."
Learning martial arts wasn't sothing underhanded, and Wang Chen wouldn't teach privately without consent.
The guardian's agreent was essential!
"Ah?"
Ye Feifan was suddenly dumbfounded.
Wang Chen patted his head and smiled, "Let's wait for your mother to co back and discuss it."
After dinner that evening, Lady Ye ca to visit with Ye Feifan.
She insisted that her son give Wang Chen three deep bows, then she said, "Taoist Friend Wang, my child does not have the Root Bone for cultivation. It would trouble you to teach him so self-defensive martial skills. I'm truly grateful."
In Ten Thousand Cultivators City, there were many martial artists, and there were even Martial Pavilions dedicated to practicing martial arts.
Lady Ye's days were difficult, but she was capable of affording her son's tuition.
However, she worried that Ye Feifan might be bullied by his peers in the Martial Pavilion, and finding a reliable martial master was not easy.
So, the matter had been delayed.
Now, with Wang Chen as a lodger in her ho and with his high Qi-Cultivating Level, willing to teach martial arts to Ye Feifan,
Lady Ye naturally agreed wholeheartedly.
Although Wang Chen indicated he wouldn't take on an apprentice, she still insisted on completing the proper formalities.
With that, the matter was settled.
That very night, Wang Chen taught Ye Feifan the introductory Heart thod of the "Pure Yang Technique."
Although the na "Pure Yang Technique" was quite ordinary, it was a top-tier cultivation thod, capable of being practiced up to the Innate Realm, and considered a divine cultivation manual in martial arts.
This internal cultivation technique was sothing Wang Chen had obtained during his ti as the Guarding Heavenly Master in Great Qian.
It was of no use to him, but teaching it to Ye Feifan couldn't be more appropriate.
The "Pure Yang Technique," like the "Five Elents Skill," shared the characteristics of being balanced and moderate, aning that those who practiced it were highly unlikely to suffer from cultivation deviation. Yet, the thod itself was very powerful.
Then Wang Chen found that Ye Feifan had a very good mory. He only needed to explain the introduction to the "Pure Yang Technique" twice for him to rember it firmly and even recite it on the spot.
Of course, one could not master a cultivation thod through rote morization alone.
Wang Chen shared his own understanding and expounded the essence of the "Pure Yang Technique" to Ye Feifan.
In addition, he explained the basic knowledge of martial arts to him.
Then he let him slowly comprehend and practice on his own.
In the days that followed, Wang Chen would set up a stall every few days in the market to sell talismans, and at night, he would return ho to teach Ye Feifan martial arts.
This truly integrated him into Lady Ye's household.
As for Wang Chen's talisman crafting abilities, as more and more Magical Talismans were sold and used, his fa grew by the day, and the talismans he laid out were quickly snatched up by buyers.
The number of Spirit Stones he earned kept increasing!
