My Apprentice Is Too Diligent

Chapter 73: Pure True Qi Realm Martial Arts (Seeking Subscriptions)

"Wow... so powerful!"

"True Qi Realm! A master of the True Qi Realm!"

"Great, we survived!"

"Thank you, hero. Thank you for saving our lives!"

"Great!"

With an exhilarating roar, the silence was broken.

On the official road, it immediately became lively.

Cheers, shouts, and screams echoed incessantly.

"Dad, we survived, we survived!"

Li Qingzhi's face turned red as he excitedly shouted.

"Yes, we survived."

Li Changwu took a deep breath to calm himself.

Then, he walked out of the crowd to greet Chen Wuji, who had descended from the sky.

Several other leaders of merchant caravans also did the same.

"Li Family of White Water, Li Changwu, pays respects to the hero!"

"Chen Family of Linjiang, Chen Hai, pays respects to the hero!"

"Sun Family of Yangliu, Sun Butong, pays respects to the hero!"

...

A group of five people came to the open space in front of the Black Wind Iron Cavalry's corpses, facing Chen Wuji and bowing to express their gratitude, shouting.

"Do you have any wine?"

Chen Wuji glanced at the five people and said roughly, "I haven't tasted wine in a long time. Which one of you has wine?"

"I do, I do!" A short and chubby middle-aged man named Sun Butong said with a smile on his face. He took a gourd from his waist and ran up to Chen Wuji, his round belly protruding. "Hero, this is our Yangliu's 'Jade Bamboo Wine.' Please have a taste."

Chen Wuji grabbed the wine gourd, removed the cork, and poured it into his mouth.

After practicing on the mountain for half a month without eating or drinking, although he wasn't hungry, his mouth felt uncomfortable and his whole body felt off.

Now, the gentle wine flowed into his throat and spread in his stomach, instantly bringing an indescribable pleasure.

"Good!"

He drank half of the gourd in one breath. Chen Wuji stopped, exhaled, and wiped off the sweat.

"Thank you."

He waved his hand at Sun Butong and stepped into the pile of Black Wind Bandits' corpses, starting to search for valuable items.

With the wine gourd in his left hand, he occasionally took a sip, while his right hand searched for useful items on the bodies that were only left with torsos.

Broken silver, silver notes, gold notes, and jewelry were all collected.

Daggers and short knives that were not special were all rejected.

Ordinary manuals were also abandoned, but precious ones were kept.

After searching through more than thirty bodies, Chen Wuji had another package in his hands.

Throughout the process, Li Changwu, Sun Butong, Chen Hai, and others stood on the periphery, watching without daring to approach or disturb.

When Chen Wuji finished tidying up, Li Changwu took a step forward and respectfully said, "May I ask for the hero's name? Could you please let us know so that we can remember the hero's lifesaving grace and repay it in the future."

"I am a hermit of the mountains, an unknown person."

"Help clean up the battlefield and clear away this trash on the road. That would be the best repayment."

Chen Wuji carried the package, tiptoed, leaped into the air, and flew towards the mountains.

"Haha, take care, everyone. I'm leaving!"

Swoosh!

Swoosh~

Hoo hoo!

The electric light steps combined with the White Crane Dance in the air. With a few flashes, Chen Wuji disappeared into the mountains and forests.

"Hey, hey, hey!"

Sun Butong reached out and blinked his eyes, finally sighed heavily, and exclaimed, "The lightness skill of this hero is too amazing. His figure disappeared in the blink of an eye."

"Brother Li, Brother Sun, what do you think, at which layer of the True Qi Realm is this nameless hero?" Chen Hai looked at the mountains and forests and spoke softly.

"At least the sixth layer of the True Qi Realm!" Li Changwu said firmly.

"Isn't that obvious? Without the cultivation of the sixth layer of the True Qi Realm, how could he have such skills?" A big man next to them sneered.

"No matter which layer, it is not something we can reach." Another middle-aged woman sighed.

"Yes." Sun Butong agreed.

"Cough cough~" Li Changwu lightly coughed and said calmly, "Well, our Li family has a good relationship with a True Qi Realm expert."

"Really?" Sun Butong became interested and asked, "What's his name? Can you introduce me to him?"

"No need for introductions."

Li Changwu glanced at Sun Butong and snorted, "As for that person's name, it doesn't matter. His surname is Qin, Qin Shubao!"

...

"Qin Shubao" Chen Wuji, at this moment, was carrying two packages and swiftly leaping through the mountains and forests, crossing one mountain after another.

After a while, he stopped on a grassy slope halfway up the mountain and put down the packages.

He opened one of the packages and counted his spoils.

There were more than five thousand six hundred pieces of broken silver and silver bills, a bit less.

There were seven gold bills, totaling eight hundred and fifty liang.

The jewelry couldn't be calculated for the time being. Most of the bottles and jars contained poison, but there were about twenty Qi Condensation Pills in three porcelain bottles.

Chen Wuji remembered that he obtained these three porcelain bottles from the bodies of the last three people he killed.

Obviously, all three of them were True Qi Realm Martial Masters.

However, their cultivation levels were not high, none of them reached the fourth layer of the True Qi Realm.

There were five secret manuals: "Bronze Elephant Body", "Entangling Silk Hand", "Flying Frost Sword Technique", "Shadowless Arrow", and "Mountain Breaking Palm".

Among them, "Shadowless Arrow" was an archery technique that emphasized speed, with no shadow when the arrow was released.

"Mountain Breaking Palm" was a prominent martial technique in the Body Refining Realm.

"Bronze Elephant Body" was a horizontal refining martial art that could be practiced in both the Body Refining Realm and the True Qi Realm. It emphasized physical defense, enhanced resistance to attacks, and increased strength.

It is worth mentioning that this martial art also came with three killing moves that could unleash explosive power.

"Flying Frost Sword Technique" was a sword technique that could be practiced in both the True Qi Realm and the Body Refining Realm. The characteristic of this technique was that after cultivation, the True Qi transformed into sword energy would have a freezing effect.

Finally, "Entangling Silk Hand" was purely a True Qi Realm martial technique that could only be practiced after breaking through to the True Qi Realm.

Chen Wuji looked through them and found that this martial technique was relatively easy to learn and more suitable for Martial Masters who had just entered the True Qi Realm. It could help them become more familiar with controlling True Qi.

But mastery was difficult.

Because "Entangling Silk Hand" divided True Qi into countless threads, each of which needed to explode with powerful killing power, comparable to a weapon in terms of toughness, sharpness, and strength.

This required extremely high control over True Qi. If the quality of True Qi was not good enough, not to mention killing someone, it would be impossible to pierce through a sheet of paper.

The requirements were high, but Chen Wuji liked it more and more.

When he dealt with the Black Wind Bandits before, if he had known this "Entangling Silk Hand", he wouldn't have needed to cut down more than a dozen trees, sharpen one end, and use them as "spears" to create the first wave of impact.

The only downside was that it was purely a True Qi Realm martial technique, and there were no disciples who could help.

"But, there's no rush."

"When I go back this time, I will give them the Ascending Cloud Good Fortune Pills to help them break through the True Qi Realm as quickly as possible."

Chen Wuji pondered, packed up his things, put them back in the packages.

After repacking, he drank all the alcohol in the gourd and threw away the empty gourd.

Then, carrying the two packages, he didn't leave the mountains but took a straight path, displaying his lightness skill and traversing mountains and hills, rushing back to the county town.

Along the way, he maintained a moderate speed.

When he was close to the county town, he came out of the mountains, changed his appearance, and carried the two packages on his back, blending in with the ordinary people as he entered the city gate.

Just as he entered the city, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar iron token hanging from the waist of a man under the corner of the city wall.

It's him!
