Chapter 6: The Yin Yang Spiritual Martial Formula
"Nan Shu, here..." Seeing this secret room, Lu Shaoyou was shocked in his heart. In the memories of his mind, there was no such secret room inside this hut.
"This place has always been under my care, so I've set up a secret room here for emergency use. Tell me honestly, what's happened in the past few days? What's going on with the two energies inside you that are causing your body to alternate between hot and cold?" The old servant, Nan Shu, gazed at Lu Shaoyou, his usual respectful demeanor slightly diminished, but concern filled his eyes instead.
"...At this point, Lu Shaoyou also dared to conceal it, and immediately told the story of the cliff from beginning to end. Of course, he wouldn't mention the part about crossing over, only saying that he had miraculously survived."
"A dark blue giant eagle that can spit fire, a white bat that can spit cold air... Could it be..." Old servant Nan Shu listened to Lu Shaoyou's account and fell into a puzzled state, then immediately asked Lu Shaoyou: "Where is the small snake you mentioned? Let me take a look."
"It's this one." Lu Shaoyou rolled up the sleeve of his right arm, revealing a small yellow snake with its head raised, and said to Old Nan.
"This... can it be..." Seeing the light yellow small snake, Old Nan's expression immediately became one of astonishment, with an incredulous look in his eyes.
"I really didn't expect it." Old servant Nan Shu gazed at Lu Shaoyou, his expression filled with surprise, and said: "I've watched you since you were born, I've watched you grow up, born in the Lu family, but you're actually a humble life, I didn't think that your luck would be so good, such a great thing has happened to you."
"Nan Shu, speak clearly, I don't understand what you're saying?" Lu Shaoyou said, but originally Lu Shaoyou's life was indeed very cheap, not even as good as a servant.
"You naturally don't understand." Old servant Nan Shu said: "I ask you, do you want to die? Do you want to have a day when you can make a name for yourself and stand proudly in the world?" After finishing speaking, a sharp glint flashed across old servant Nan Shu's eyes.
"The young master naturally doesn't want to die, asking Uncle Nan to help him out." Lu Shao Yu immediately knelt down in front of the old servant, he was just thinking of changing his current situation, and now, this Uncle Nan, is absolutely not an ordinary person, if he helps himself, then he may be able to change his current situation right away.
"You're also clever, but I have a mind to help you, yet I'm also hesitant and can't make up my mind, I don't know if in the end I'll be helping or harming you." Old servant Nan Shu said with slight hesitation.
"Nan Shu wants to help me, of course he won't harm Xiao Zi," said Lu Shaoyou.
"Get up, I've watched you grow up and know that you're kind-hearted and filial to your mother. Otherwise, I wouldn't be helping you or revealing my identity in front of you. Remember, my matters are not to be told to anyone." Old servant Nan Shu said, helping Lu Shaoyou up, continuing: "You've been afflicted with a rare disease since childhood, unable to practice martial arts or become a spiritual being. In my opinion, it's because someone has set up a clever trap for you. Ordinary people can't see through it, but unexpectedly, you survived this great calamity and obtained two spiritual pills, which broke the trap. Because you've never cultivated any skills before, under the influence of these two fire and water spiritual pills, you've become a rare yin-yang body, one in millions."
"The essence of yin and yang, Nanshuk, didn't you just say I was about to die? And wasn't the pill I took a demon pill? How is it a spirit pill?" Lu Shaoyou asked.
"You think that giant eagle and white bat are monsters, but they're actually spiritual beasts. That giant eagle is a fourth-tier spiritual beast, the Fire Spirit Flying Eagle, and the white bat is a fifth-tier spiritual beast, the Frost White Bat. The Spiritual Pellet is a treasure, and you just swallowed it directly - it's a waste, to say the least. Anyway, it'll be beneficial for you in the future, but as an ordinary person, taking those two pellets will eventually lead to your body exploding. If I hadn't suppressed it for you, you wouldn't be able to talk to me right now." Old servant Nan Shu said to Lu Shaoyou.
"Nan Shu, what's going on?" Lu Shaoyou said, having just crossed over and not wanting to die.
"It depends on whether you want to die or not, and whether you want to have a day when you can stand proudly in the world." The old servant said.
"I do, of course I do. A man living in this world should naturally achieve something, even if it's not to leave a good name for eternity, but rather to leave a bad one that will last for ten thousand years. That's still better than being mediocre and unremarkable for an entire lifetime." Lu Shao-yu said firmly.
"It can't be seen, but you have such ambition, well, looking at you growing up and becoming this yin-yang body, today I will fulfill you." The old servant Nan Shu looked at Lu Shaoyou, with a somewhat surprised expression in his eyes. Today's Lu Shaoyou seemed to be different from the Lu Shaoyou he had seen grow up.
"The disciple has seen the master." Lu Shaoyou immediately knelt down on the ground.
"Hold on, I never said I'd take you as an apprentice, I was just lending a hand." The old servant, Nan Shu, spoke faintly with a hint of desolation in his eyes.
"Even if Uncle Nan doesn't accept me as his apprentice, I'll still have to knock my head on the ground." Lu Shaoyou was stunned for a moment, then he knocked his head three times, really and truly. After knocking his head, it would be hard for Uncle Nan to go back on his word now, so he should teach him some real skills at least.
"Alright, you young fellow usually looks so honest and simple, but today you've become so clever. Afraid I'll go back on my word, not teaching you the real thing, huh?" Old servant Nan Shu smiled slightly, with a hint of approval in his eyes.
"Haha......" Lu Shaoyou smiled awkwardly. This Nan Shu was indeed a clever person, he knew exactly what he was thinking.
"Sit down." Old servant Nan Shu gestured for Lu Shaoyou to sit, and at the same time handed him a white jade strip, saying: "Remember, I can only help you so much, otherwise I wouldn't have ended up in this state. The road ahead, you'll have to choose it yourself."
"Nan Shu, what is this?" As a result, Nan Shu's jade slip in his hand, Lu Shaoyou asked.
"This is the Yin Yang Spiritual Martial Code, which I inadvertently obtained back then. Only those with a yin-yang body can cultivate it, and its wonders are endless. I was forced to cultivate this Yin Yang Spiritual Martial Code, which led me to where I am today. You're also lucky because you've never cultivated any martial arts before, and someone had set up a formation in your body. So, the Fire Spirit Flying Eagle and Frost White Bat two spiritual elixirs not only didn't cause your body to explode and die immediately but instead achieved a miraculous accomplishment for your one-in-a-million yin-yang body, which just so happens to be able to cultivate this Yin Yang Spiritual Martial Code." Old servant Nan Shu said, with a hint of melancholy in his expression. If he were also a yin-yang body, he wouldn't have ended up like this today.
"Nan Shu, then you should know who set up a trap on me and made it impossible for me to cultivate?" Lu Shaoyou asked. It turned out that someone had been targeting him since he was young, and there was a cold arrow behind his back, making him feel uneasy from now on.
"Can't you guess?" said Old Nan.
"Nan Shu, could it be her..." Lu Shaoyou suddenly understood that this matter was probably done by the big madam. What a ruthless person! A chill spread through Lu Shaoyou's eyes, and he thought to himself that he would never let this woman off in the future.
"Be careful, as long as you're clear in your heart, it's best not to make any rash moves before you have the power to back it up. Your father may not know what's going on, but do you think your grandfather is oblivious? He's just being cautious, and as long as you leave him a way out, he'll let things slide. Use your blood to activate this jade slip, and first cultivate the Yin-Yang Spiritual Martial Arts. Once you've mastered it, this small Lu family will no longer be worth your attention. The sky is high and birds fly freely, the sea is vast and fish swim effortlessly - from now on, your future will depend on your own actions."
