218 A Deceptive Technique (1)


    The sun had started to set, casting a golden glow on the brick wall.


    There was an old wooden table in the courtyard where Jiang Ming and Lu Qingfeng sat across from each other.


    Lu Qingfeng had bought some demonic beast meat that he was usually reluctant to eat as well as some wine. He was beaming with joy.


    Jiang Ming picked up a piece of demonic beast meat and put it into his mouth. It was only the lowest-quality demonic meat. However, for the mortals here, it was a luxury.


    !!


    It seemed that Old Lu was really excited today. This meal had probably cost him a month’s worth of silver.


    Lu Qingfeng gulped down a mouthful of wine and coughed until his face turned red. However, he did not care. He prepared to fill his ss again and made a toast to Jiang Ming. “Yan Chixia, you’re too kind to us.”


    Lu Qingfeng had been working hard day and night to save money so that his granddaughter would have a chance to be a martial artist. Today, Lu Xiaoyu had finally taken the first step to bing a martial artist. Therefore, how could he not be excited?


    Jiang Ming quickly reached out and covered Old Lu’s ss. The old man had already had too much to drink.


    “What I taught her was just an ordinary fist technique. No one else has mastered it except Xiaoyu, which means she has a lot of potential.”


    Jiang Ming shook his head andughed. After Lu Xiaoyu’s practice of the Tiger Subduing Fist was effective, he had been thinking about looking further into it. He wanted to find out whether Lu Xiaoyu was the only one who could practice the Tiger Subduing Fist without any worries, or if the people here were different.


    When Lu Xiaoyu went out of the city to practice, she often went with some friends. After knowing Lu Xiaoyu had found sess by practicing the Tiger Subduing Fist, with Jiang Ming’s permission, her friends also tried to practice the Tiger Subduing Fist. However, none of them continue after practicing three or four times a day.


    Therefore, Jiang Ming was even more certain that Lu Xiaoyu had a special physique that no one else had.


    “Is she a martial arts genius?” Jiang Ming thought.


    He had also seen Lu Xiaoyu’s original martial arts technique. It was just a regr technique. Anyone could practice it. However, no one could tailor it to their needs.


    This might be the reason why Lu Xiaoyu could not sense her blood Qi even after practicing for so long.


    As for Jiang Ming’s improved version of the Tiger Subduing Fist, although it did not harm the user anymore, it was still a fierce technique. Ordinary people could not be like Lu Xiaoyu, who could practice it tirelessly.


    Moreover, this was under the condition that Lu Xiaoyu did not have any demonic beast meat to supplement her body.


    If Lu Xiaoyu was given enough resources, would she be able to go further on the path of martial arts?


    “Maybe this girl will be able to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm of martial arts one day. Or maybe… she’ll go even further,” Jiang Ming murmured. He knew his own situation. Although he had reached the Foundation Establishment Realm of martial arts, he basically relied on practicing forbidden techniques and using cheats in order to get to where he was. It took him more than two hundred years to reach this level. Inparison to those genius martial artists in the mortal world, he was simply untalented.


    Lu Xiaoyu, on the other hand, obviously had the potential to be a martial arts genius.


    “Although I am not weak, I relied on cheating to get here. It is really difficult and slow. There are few Dao Masters in this world. If I train a martial arts genius here, wouldn’t I benefit greatly as well?”


    While he was lost in his thoughts, Lu Qingfeng suddenly stood up and left. A momentter, he came back with an ancient wooden box in his hand. He put it on the table.


    “Old Lu…” Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows.


    “Yan Chixia, this is a martial arts technique passed down from our ancestors. In fact, when I first saw you cultivating the fist technique, I wanted to give it to you. However, this technique has deceived many people. Therefore, I was a little hesitant to give it to you.” Lu Qingfeng forced a smile and continued, “However, I really don’t have anything to repay you for your kindness. I’ll give you this technique. Just use it as a reference on the path of martial arts. Don’t practice it without caution.”


    “Deceived many people? What do you mean?” Jiang Ming asked with great interest.


    Lu Qingfeng hesitated for a moment and did not know what to say. Lu Xiaoyu, who was busy eating, quickly raised her hand and said, “I’ll tell you!”


    She gulped down a mouthful of wine, cleared her throat, and then said, “Back then, my grandfather’s grandfather was a second-ss martial artist!” Lu Xiaoyu pointed at Lu Qingfeng as she said, “His grandfather was practicing the martial arts technique in this wooden box. At that time, the Lu family was quite famous in Clearwater City. They opened a small martial arts school in this courtyard and attracted a few students. The students who practiced this technique advanced quickly in the beginning. However, after they became unranked martial artists, their cultivationpletely stagnated, and they were unable to make any progress. Not a single one of them has entered the third ss. Over time, those students all felt that his grandfather was a fraud. Moreover, when they kept training hellishly without a proper technique, they crippled their bodies!”
