Martial Arts: My Talent Has No Limits

Chapter 60 Sun and Moon Heavenly Light Force

"A personal successor will be appointed at that time."

"It is a matter of course."

Lu Chengfeng stroked his beard and smiled, saying, "As for these three years, you will enjoy the same resources as the direct disciples, including martial arts techniques, divine instructions, and so on. As long as you make sufficient contributions, you can browse through the six inner academies at will. The vast medicinal fields are filled with countless precious herbs, and you will receive the same share of direct disciples each year."

"Besides that, the most important point..."

"If you become my disciple, you may choose any superior martial art and the corresponding divine intent."

He added, "You probably don't know this, but even if it's a martial arts manual personally taught by the sect leader, you still need to exchange it for contribution points. Yingxue only gets 500 contribution points for escorting disciples, but a secret technique manual requires at least 10,000 contribution points to exchange for, and a top-tier martial art requires at least 3,000."

Upon hearing this...

Qin Jiu no longer hesitated. In the path of martial arts, choice is often more important than effort. The position of the Grand Elder is second only to the leader in the sect. As for the person above him, whether he can become his disciple is still another matter.

Even if he becomes an apprentice, it may not be suitable for him.

After all, just the divine intentions mentioned by the Grand Elder would require a lot of effort to accumulate on one's own.

He doesn't want to waste time right now.

He immediately performed the formal apprenticeship ceremony.

"Disciple Qin Jiu greets Master."

"Okay, okay."

Lu Chengfeng laughed heartily, said "good" three times, and then stepped forward to help him up.

"Today's apprenticeship ceremony will be kept simple."

"Three years from now, your master will hold a grand apprenticeship banquet for you at the sect... According to the plan, the Xuanxiao Sect should have already established itself in the pass by then. I'm afraid it will be a grand event."

Lu Chengfeng's face was flushed.

Qin Jiu hesitated before asking, "Master, what is the meaning behind the secret technique you mentioned...?"

"There's no rush. Let me first examine your physical constitution and the secret power you've cultivated. Only then can I select a suitable secret technique for you. After all, the five internal organs generate the five elements, and the five elements are mutually generative. If you choose the right secret technique, you'll achieve twice the results with half the effort. If you choose a secret technique that clashes with yours, not only will you achieve half the results with twice the effort, but there may even be various risks."

Lu Chengfeng said.

He raised his hand and pinched Qin Jiu's shoulder, then lifted him up and shook him vigorously like a sack.

The latter felt as if electric currents were flowing through his body.

In an instant, every part of his body...

It became a tingling, numb, and stinging sensation.

"What a fine combination of strength and physique! No wonder he fought his way to the end of the Jade Ladder without showing any signs of exhaustion."

Soon.

Lu Chengfeng looked surprised and said, "And this extremely cold and yin energy is of such high quality. If it were to transform into true qi in the future, its grade would probably be at least the middle third rank."

He was overjoyed.

The potential shown by this child is immeasurable.

With this secret power, once he breaks through the willow tendon, he will surely soar to great heights, transforming into a dragon as soon as he encounters wind and clouds.

Lu Chengfeng felt incredibly fortunate at that moment.

"Luckily, I had the foresight."

"If we hadn't intercepted him beforehand, this promising talent might have fallen into the hands of someone else."

"Luckily, I risked all my pride."

He thought of this.

He was secretly delighted, and his long eyebrows twitched involuntarily.

Then.

Lu Chengfeng pondered for a moment and said, "Your secret power has quite a few matching martial arts and divine intentions among the six inner academies."

"Oh, right."

"What kind of martial art are you practicing now?"

"Master, I practice a family-inherited sword technique, which is a mid-level martial art."

"Oh? Show me how it's done."

Upon hearing this...

Qin Jiu nodded and, without further ado, immediately pushed the knife stake inside the hall.

"call"

A strong wind howled.

Lu Chengfeng nodded and said, "It's a mastery, a minor achievement. It's barely enough for a mid-level martial art, but in the end, it's just a mid-level martial art, far inferior to a superior one."

"Moreover, my sect's main inheritance is..."

"It is God's will."

"This technique was created based on the secret manuals of the grandmasters and has been refined by the sect's predecessors over 1,300 years. Although it is not related to the sect's superior martial arts, they still complement each other and are better than your mediocre sword technique."

"I will choose a similar sword technique for you."

"As for your intermediate-level martial arts, there's no need to change it. Practicing both at the same time will allow you to quickly master superior martial arts."

"Your disciple will respectfully follow your master's teachings."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chengfeng nodded slightly and then said, "There is one more thing."

"While the resources for direct disciples are good, aside from the fixed annual allocation, everything else still needs to be earned through one's own efforts. The most important aspect of this is earning contribution points. However, with the current turmoil outside the pass, although your strength is considerable, your martial arts realm is still too low."

"Your most urgent task is to break through your internal defenses."

"As for the contribution points..."

He frowned and said, "I can arrange for you to be stationed in the herb fields or at Dingfeng Mountain. That way, you'll not only have a considerable amount of contribution points each month, but you can also supplement your resources. As for the Divine Guard Army outside the sect suppressing the rebellion, you shouldn't go and join in the fun."

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Qin Jiu was overjoyed.

He currently has eight vacant talent slots, and after breaking through to the Inner Strength stage soon, he is expected to gain at least six more talent slots.

Now, hearing Lu Chengfeng's words...

I was naturally delighted.

Zhou Yingxue had previously said that the 800-mile-long Dingfeng Mountain was home to countless spirit beasts, and that it would be a good place to go and guard the area.

This is a good opportunity to gradually improve one's talents.

Today it is today.

Qin Jiu increasingly felt the importance of talent. Not to mention the mysterious and profound things like "illuminating the netherworld" and "avoiding misfortune and seeking good fortune," the innate talent related to martial arts, and even the blood-fiend related to realms, were especially important.

Let's just talk about the willow tendons from now on.

He would spare no effort to refine his qi and blood to enhance the purity of his Yin energy.

When the inner strength transforms into true qi in the future.

Its quality will inevitably be elevated to the highest level.

It is easy to see the importance of talent. After all, the Willow Tendon level does not represent the end of martial arts; on the contrary, it may only be the beginning.

Thinking of this.

Qin Jiu immediately said, "Master, I choose to go to Dingfeng Mountain to guard it."

"Dingfeng Mountain...?"

Lu Chengfeng pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "According to my idea, you should guard the herb fields. It's a quiet place where you can focus on your training, and you'll also receive a considerable amount of contribution points every year."

"But since you've made up your mind..."

"Then, simply present your identity token to perform your duties."

"As for now, I will go and retrieve the martial arts manual and the divine will. Later, after you have registered your name and offered incense at the ancestral hall, I will go back with you to meet your family."

"Yes."

Qin Jiu responded.

Not long after.

Lu Chengfeng, who had hurriedly left the side hall, quickly returned.

He was also holding a scroll that looked like sheepskin in his hand.

And a very thick book.

Qin Jiu took it and first unfurled the scroll.

Five large characters then came into view.

"The power of the sun, moon, and heavenly light?"
