Chapter 9: Choosing Martial Skills for the Third Watch

  "En..." Listening to Lu Shaoyou's words, the old servant nodded slightly and said: "However, you remember, never use this Yin Yang Ling Wu Jue to devour others in front of people..."

  "Why, can't even the most heinous of villains be spared?" Lu Shaoyu said.

  "You can certainly try, unless you're not afraid of being hunted down by all the warriors and spiritual practitioners under heaven." said Old Servant Nan.

  Lu Shao's face revealed a hint of bitter smile, and he naturally understood that if other spiritual practitioners and warriors knew about this abnormal cultivation method, regardless of whether they were good or evil, they would definitely take it for themselves and kill him afterwards. With this abnormal cultivation method in existence, Lu Shao would undoubtedly become the public enemy and threat to all spiritual practitioners and warriors under heaven.

  "What's another advantage?" Lu Shaoyou asked.

  "There's another benefit..." The old servant, Nan Shu, sank his voice and said: "If you cultivate the Yin Yang Spiritual Martial Formula with your yin-yang body, you can become a martial artist of the entire system."

  "What is a Quanzhi Wushi?" Lu Shaoyou asked.

  "This can be discussed later, you can't consume so much at once anyway. Although the entire martial arts system isn't as powerful as the Spiritual Martial Dual Cultivation, it's not far off either. You'll understand the benefits later. Your luck is so good that even I'm envious." Old servant Nan Shu said.

  "Nan Shu, there's another weakness." Just now, Nan Shu said that the Yin Yang Ling Wu Jue had two weaknesses. One was that the normal cultivation speed was extremely slow, and the other... Lu Shaoyou had already mentally prepared himself for it.

  "There's another crucial point, that is to break through, you must simultaneously refine your spiritual and martial arts, the Yin-Yang Spiritual Martial Arts Code, only when they are in harmony can you break through at the same time. Otherwise, don't even think about breaking through." Old servant Nan Shu said.

  "So harsh." Lu Shaoyou felt depressed and immediately asked: "Then how should I cultivate?"

  "To increase your strength, considering your current situation, it seems that the only way is to find Yao Dan and Ling Dan to devour them." Old servant Nan Shu smiled and said to Lu Shaoyou.

  "Uncle Nan, you're joking, right? Only four-stage demonic beasts and spiritual beasts would have demonic pellets and spiritual pellets. Even if it's the entire Lu family, I'm afraid they can't afford to buy many of those things. How am I supposed to find demonic pellets and spiritual pellets to swallow?" Lu Shaoyou glared at his old servant Uncle Nan, thinking that he was just a useless young master now, where would he get the money to buy demonic pellets and spiritual pellets to swallow?

  "You figure it out yourself, you're not my apprentice, am I supposed to think for you too?" Old servant Nan Shu glared at Lu Shaoyou and said.

  "Nan Shu, how about lending me some gold coins?" After hesitating for a moment, Lu Shaoyou smiled slyly at the old servant Nan Shu and said. Nan Shu was definitely not an ordinary person and must have had some value on him.

  "You think I, an old man, have gold coins to lend you?" said Old Nan, his expression firm and resolute in telling Lu Shaoyou that there was absolutely no way he would get any money.

  "Uncle Nan, I've also kowtowed to you, are you going to abandon me now?" Lu Shaoyou said, having no other choice but to cling to Uncle Nan.

  "You're taking advantage of me." The old servant, Nan Shu, gazed at Lu Shaoyou and then said, "I can't help you, but I can think of a way for you."

  "As long as there's a way, that's good." Lu Shaoyou smiled instantly. Having a way was a good thing. He had finally become a Lingwu dual cultivator with great difficulty, and he thought his future prospects were limitless. If his strength progressed like a snail, what kind of future could be spoken of?

  "Don't forget, you're not just a martial artist now, but also a spiritual being. As a spiritual being, you can do many things to earn gold coins, such as refining elixirs, cultivating spiritual herbs, and if a spiritual being refines a weapon, the price will be much higher." Old servant Nan Shu said.

  "I'm a spiritual being, but I don't know any of this?" Lu Shaoyou said gloomily. Although he was now a spiritual being, he was absolutely clueless about things like refining elixirs, cultivating spiritual herbs, and forging spiritual weapons.

  "Youngster, you can't, didn't say I couldn't." The old servant said with a tone of discontent.

  "Second Master Lu, you mean to say that you'll refine the elixirs and weapons for me to sell?" Lu Shao Yu suddenly said excitedly. Before his words had even fallen, he was hit on the head with a heavy blow. Immediately after, he covered his head with both hands, looking at Old Nan with a hint of grievance: "Why did you hit me?"

  "You think it's beautiful, but I'll use my old bones to refine elixirs and weapons for you." The old servant, Nan Shu, gazed at Lu Shaoyou and said: "I can teach you. In the past, many Spirit Kings and Spirit Lords cried and knelt before me, begging me to take them on as disciples, but I didn't bother with them. Now it's your turn, consider yourself lucky."

  "Whatever." Lu Shaoyou's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a faint, mischievous smile.

  "Moreover, although you have become a martial artist, you still don't have any martial skills. At most, you're just a rough and vigorous ox with brute strength. Tell me, what kind of martial skill do you want to learn?" The old servant gazed at Lu Shaoyou and said.

  "Nan Shu, didn't you say that martial skills are divided into six categories: Tian, Di, Xuan, Huang, Star and Chen? Is there a Heaven-level martial skill?" Lu Shaoyou thought to himself, naturally the higher the level of martial skill, the better.

  "Heavenly martial arts, I still want them, you think heavenly martial arts are as common as radishes and cabbage?" Old servant Nan Shu glared at Lu Shaoyou.

  Lu Shao Yu blinked and said: "Then let's go with the Earth level, I can also make do with the Earth level."

  "Earth level, with your current martial artist's strength, can you learn earth level?" The old servant said again.

  "That's the lowest grade, right? If it were any lower, you wouldn't be able to show your face either, would you, Uncle Nan?" Lu Shaoyou said.

  "You're right, I do have a set of martial skills that are quite mysterious, would you like to learn them?" said Old Servant Nan Shu.

  "It's quite profound, that's certainly a good thing. You want it, young one?" Lu Shaoyou smiled and said: "Uncle Nan, what level is this martial skill at?"

  "There is no rank." said Old Servant Nan Shu.

  "What level is it if there's no level?" Lu Shaoyou fell from Heaven to Hell again, and Nan Shu was too good at bullying people.

  "I don't even know what level it is, and I've never quite understood it myself. Hopefully you can figure it out. Also, based on your current abilities, I'm giving you two sets of martial skills - one for attacking and one for defending. The attacking skill isn't very high-level, just a star-grade skill, but it's the most suitable for you right now. If it were any higher, you wouldn't be able to cultivate it anyway. As for the defensive skill, it was given to me by someone who came to ask for my help in the past. It's also quite mysterious, but fortunately your luck is good and you have a Linghuang beast on your body." said Nan Shu.

  "Nan Shu, you're referring to that small snake, what kind of spiritual beast is it?" Lu Shaoyou asked.

  "You little snake, you're blessed without knowing it. If the Martial Emperor or Spiritual Emperor were to find out about your origins, they would definitely not let you off. Fortunately, there are only a few people who can recognize this Spirit Beast." Old servant Nan Shu said with a proud gaze in his eyes. Having been in the Lu family for decades, he had always kept a low profile. Now, talking about his past accomplishments and cultivation in front of a young whippersnapper was quite an enjoyable experience.

  "Is it that fierce?" Lu Shaoyou was also surprised. A ten-centimeter-long small snake, and its origin is still so big, he really didn't know.

  "Concentrate your spirit and hold still." Just then, Old Nan said, and his hand seemed to have a faint glow flashing on it, finally pointing two fingers at Lu Shaoyou's brow.

  Lu Shao felt that a long thread was pulled out of his brain, and a glowing gas fell into Nan Shu's hand. At the same time, a drop of fresh blood also fell onto Nan Shu's hand from between Lu Shao's eyebrows.

  "Rise." Lu Shouyou only saw Nan Shu's mouth whispering, his hands changing with a series of mysterious hand seals, and then the light yellow small snake on his right hand appeared in Nan Shu's hand.
