Chapter 8: Transmission of Kung Fu Methods

  A night without words.

  On the second day, early in the morning, Xiao Chen opened his eyes after a night of cultivation. His cultivation had not made any progress, but his spiritual soul realm had entered the second stage, the Refining Soul Realm.

  Xiao Chen's eyes sparkled with excitement, his spirit shining brightly. His eyes opened wide, as if a brilliant light was surging within them. Xiao Chen exclaimed excitedly: "Soul Refining Realm, sensing the surroundings within a 10-meter range!"

  "Xiao Chen, Shidi!" But at this moment, Xiao Chen suddenly heard a clear and cold voice coming from outside the courtyard.

  "Is it Ling Shijie? How did she come here?" Xiao Chen was surprised, by all accounts, Ling Shuiyan and his grudge had already been settled, how could she possibly appear in such a small place.

  But Xiao Chen still opened the courtyard door with doubt, looking at the beautiful and elegant Ling Shuiyan and shouted: "Sister, you came here to......"

  Ling Shuiyan didn't respond to Xiao Chen, her gaze swept across his body, and her beautiful eyebrows slightly raised as she said: "Not bad, Nine Heavens of Refining Qi, it seems that the Creation Pill was a great help to you."

  Ling Shuiyan was surprised by Xiao Chen's rapid progress, but thinking of the assistance of the Cihai Dan, Ling Shuiyan did not doubt him.

  "It was all thanks to Shizhi's Cihuadao Dan that played a big role." Xiao Chen flattered.

  "Was it you who killed Zhang Jian and Xu Qiang?" Ling Shuiyan asked, her voice as calm as a still pond.

  Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen secretly thought that something was amiss. Could it be that the upper echelons of the sect had sent Ling Shuiyan to investigate this matter?

  However, Xiao Chen also knew that he had committed murder in public and couldn't deny it. He believed that his current cultivation level would not be thoroughly investigated by the sect, so he said, "Yes."

  Ling Shuiyan's expression didn't change as she said calmly, "I'll help you get out of this situation. Follow me now."

  As soon as she finished speaking, she didn't wait for Xiao Chen's response and turned to walk outside. Xiao Chen had no choice but to hurry after her, thinking to himself: "Where is Ling Shijie taking me?"

  Xiao Chen was puzzled in his heart, but Ling Shuiyan didn't say anything, and he couldn't ask either. For the time being, he followed Ling Shuiyan out of the registered disciple area.

  The registered disciple area is within the sphere of influence of Izumo Kengou, but to be honest, the registered disciple area can't even be considered as the outer periphery of Izumo Kengou. It's not an exaggeration to say that it's a gutter of Izumo Kengou.

  As usual, Xiao Chen was not allowed to leave the named disciple area, and as soon as he came out, he would be blocked by the disciples guarding the mountain gate. However, today Ling Shuiyan led the way, and they passed through unimpeded.

  Xiao Chen passed by, and the disciples guarding the mountain gate were puzzled, unable to understand why a core disciple would be mixed up with a registered disciple.

  Some of the disciples who recognized Xiao Chen's 'senior' qualifications were shocked, their eyes filled with jealousy, secretly scolding the good-for-nothing Xiao Chen for being unworthy to follow the heaven-defying Ling Shuiyan.

  The core disciple uniform on Ling Shuiyan's body was the pass, and they went all the way unimpeded, bringing Xiao Chen directly to the foot of the mountain.

  Xiao Chen had been in the registered disciple area for ten years and had never come out. This time, it was considered the first time he came down from the mountain in ten years. The joy was simply like just being released from prison. Xiao Chen looked at the rolling mountains, a lush green; looking at the misty clouds floating between the mountains, changing unpredictably, he couldn't help but let out a few long howls to the sky.

  Ling Shuiyan didn't stop Xiao Chen's intention either, and all the way, he let Xiao Chen vent his emotions. After about half a stick of incense time, they had already arrived at the foot of Yuchuan Peak where the Yuchuan Sword Sect was located.

  Arrived here, there is no more disciples guarding the mountain gate, this place is a precipice, thousands of mountains and birds flying away!

  Ling Shuiyan also stopped in his tracks here, turned around and said to Xiao Chen: "Jump down."

  "What?!"

  Xiao Chen's eyes suddenly went dull, here although it is the foot of Yún Peak, but looking down, at least there are thousands of meters in height, the mountain wind hits people, making one dizzy, jumping down will surely be a dead end, Xiao Chen said with an ugly face: "Master sister, this joke has gone too far."

  "You've already reached the 9th level of Qi Refining, your body's true energy is sufficient to support itself. As a disciple of Yunjian Sword Sect, you should learn from Tuiyun Zong." said Ling Shuiyan.

  Xiao Chen immediately understood, it turned out that Ling Shuiyan was here to teach him the technique. He had long heard that the Yunjian Sword Sect had a top-notch lightness skill called Tī Yún Zòng, which was a lower-level skill of the Wang Jie, extremely powerful! When displayed, it was as agile as a spirit monkey climbing trees, walking on nothingness, with clouds underfoot, and every step was like a ladder.

  "Thank you, Master!" Xiao Chen immediately expressed his gratitude, but in his heart, he was secretly puzzled and wondered what kind of trick Ling Shuiyan had up her sleeve, and why she was being so good to him, even bringing him out and teaching him her skills.

  Even if I risked danger to help Ling Shuiyan obtain a spiritual grass back then, one alchemical dan has already repaid me thousands and hundreds of times over, we're already even, so why is this?

  Xiao Chen was at a loss for what to do!

  "Watch closely, I'll demonstrate it for you." Ling Shuiyan didn't know what Xiao Chen was thinking, but he suddenly jumped up, and the white shadow was like a flower blooming in the clouds, beautiful to the extreme.

  " Qi sinks into the elixir field, circulating and flowing... Body light as a goose feather, fluttering like a flying leaf..."

  Ling Shuiyan spoke as he flipped and somersaulted in mid-air, his movements agile and extraordinary, like a swallow flying and leaping, rising and falling, suddenly high and suddenly low, twisting and turning, with a subtle beauty to it.

  Xiao Chen's comprehension was astonishing, at first glance it seemed a bit confusing, only feeling that this ultimate lightness skill was dizzying and bewildering, gorgeous to the extreme, complex beyond compare.

  But soon, Xiao Chen discovered that this ultimate lightness skill was entirely dependent on the feet, relying on the true energy of the dantian to surge up to the soles of the feet, transforming into a cloudy mist, borrowing force and treading force, suddenly high and suddenly low, as if walking on a cloud ladder.

  At the same time, the selling point of this qinggong is also excellent. With a burst of true energy, clouds appear underfoot, as if an immortal has descended to earth, stepping on auspicious clouds and flying away.

  After finishing the exercise, Ling Shuiyan fell beside Xiao Chen and asked: "How much have you understood?"

  "Sixty percent," said Xiao Chen.

  Hearing this, Ling Shuiyan was taken aback and said: "Sixty percent? Don't lie."

  Xiao Chen nodded affirmatively, without explanation, and smiled confidently. He took two steps back, sank his energy into his dantian, and suddenly sprang up, his feet landing on the stone pillars on either side. With a whirl of his body, he rose up like a cloud of smoke swirling upwards.

  Ling Shuiyan's eyebrows rose, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes. In her heart, she thought: "Could it be that he really understood 60%? Such an abnormal comprehension ability, the entire Yunjian Sword Sect doesn't even have two people like this."

  "Seven Success!" said Xiao Chen in mid-air.

  As "seven successes" was shouted out, Xiao Chen's feet alternated in a crisscross pattern to borrow force, rising higher and higher, chest outstretched and straight up.

  "Absolutely!"

  Xiao Chen said again, the whole person is walking between the clouds, with cloud and mist under his feet, walking towards the bottom.

  Xiao Chen's momentum was strong and majestic, continuously shocking the heart and soul of Ling Shuiyan. The clouds and mist under his feet were faint and distant, but became increasingly solid.

  Splash!

  Xiao Chen's body was like a whirlwind, his clothes fluttering, his green silk flying, and he landed elegantly beside Ling Shuiyan.

  "Your breath is slightly floating, somewhat over-exerted, and there's a hint of pretentiousness. However, your comprehension ability is indeed strong, able to grasp the essence of the poem in just a short moment, which is already excellent." Ling Shuiyan completely ignored Xiao Chen's extremely elegant posture, her gaze sharp as she saw through to his inner self, pointing out directly.

  "Yes." Xiao Chen sincerely accepted the advice, Ling Shuiyan disliked exaggeration, and Xiao Chen naturally didn't dare to be presumptuous. He wanted to create a good impression in front of Ling Shuiyan, lest he provoke disgust from this goddess in his heart.

  "Come with me now." Ling Shuiyan said, and then walked towards the edge of the cliff. He unfolded the Tianyun Step, as if a cloud ladder had grown under his feet, and he stepped down one step at a time. It was as if he were walking between empty buildings in mid-air. Ling Shuiyan had already cultivated the Tianyun Step to perfection.

  However, Xiao Chen, who jumped down immediately after, was like a bird that had just learned to fly. The ethereal and agile Taizhong Cloud was performed by Xiao Chen in a way that resembled a duck splashing water, completely deviating from the essence of the Taizhong Cloud's ethereal and agile nature. If the elders or the sect leader were to see this, they would probably be so angry that they would spit out three mouthfuls of old blood.

  Ling Shuiyan also smiled slightly, but didn't say much. It was already extremely rare for Xiao Chen to understand to such an extent in such a short period of time.

  Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened and we finally arrived safely at the foot of the cliff.

  Ling Shuiyan said to Xiao Chen, who was somewhat pale from exhaustion: "Your current cultivation is too weak. I want to give you a gift to help you shape your monarch's bloodline, so that you can directly enter the outer gate and be exceptionally admitted."

  At these words, Xiao Chen's eyebrows furrowed, and he thought to himself, Can bloodlines also be molded?

  "Of course, on the Demon Spirit Continent, one can use the demon cores of some powerful demonic beasts to modify the bloodline of a human body, allowing humans to possess a bloodline as powerful as that of demonic beasts. This type of bloodline warrior is second only to war-body warriors and is also extremely terrifying." Ye Xingxing said.

  Xiao Chen was suddenly enlightened, and his heart was moved by a wave of emotion. He felt that the simplicity of Ling Shuiyan's words was simply too good!

  However, the more Ling Shuiyan was nice to Xiao Chen, the more Xiao Chen felt inexplicably confused and couldn't understand it at all. Especially this time, he even wanted to help him shape his bloodline, which made Xiao Chen feel like he had fallen into a sea of confusion. Why did Ling Shuiyan want to help him?

  At this time, Xiao Chen asked: "Ling Shijie, why did you want to help me..."

  Ling Shuiyan fell silent for a moment, but instead of answering, he said, "Are you afraid I'll harm you?"

  As soon as this was said, Xiao Chen immediately felt a chill emanating from Ling Shuiyan's body, charging towards him. Xiao Chen immediately shut his mouth, not daring to ask again, afraid of provoking the icy goddess.

  Ling Shuiyan continued, "This time I've helped you cultivate a Blood Vessel Body, it's to lay the foundation for your entry into the Outer Sect. With a Blood Vessel Body, your chances of entering the Qingyun Upper Academy will be greatly increased."

  "What's the solution?"

  Ling Shuiyan said simply, "The outer gate test has four items: comprehension, innate talent, cultivation, and age. Among them, comprehension and innate talent are the most important, so future prospects are basically based on these four items. Of course, there is another type of person who transcends these four items - those with a battle body. Such warriors are considered treasures by all sects, and if discovered, they will be exceptionally accepted. Although bloodline warriors are not as good as those with a battle body, they can also score high in terms of innate talent."

  "I'm sure you're extremely curious, why did Shifu become a core disciple in just ten years? That's because I'm a martial artist with a rare body type, the Xuan Yuan True Water Body! So, you should understand the importance of innate talent now. Only those with excellent test scores will be invested in by the sect!"

  "It turns out that this world is also very realistic, if you don't see a rabbit, don't throw a hawk!" Xiao Chen understood after hearing this.
