Transfer Again, Changes, and Taking a Master

"Brother Lu Qing, you're back?"

When Lu Qing returned to the Da Ji, Ma Gu greeted him with a look of delight.

At the same time, the anxiety that had been building up finally subsided.

Lu Qing was gone for more than half an hour. It would be a lie to say he wasn't worried.

Now, they've finally returned safely.

"Yes." Lu Qing nodded. "Are Madam Wei and the others alright?"

"It's nothing, just a bit of a fright, Brother Lu Qing, what about that White-Robed Youth ..." Ma Gu asked.

"It's been resolved," Lu Qing said calmly.

But Ma Gu was shocked.

Although he had expected it, he was still shocked when Lu Qing confirmed it.

You must know that's the Inner Organs Realm! Including this White-Robed Youth, two Inner Organs Realm experts have already died at Lu Qing's hands.

While the mysterious creature undoubtedly played a part in this, it was clear that the mysterious creature was also under Lu Qing's command, so it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was his strength.

"By the way, Master Ma, this place is no longer safe. I'm afraid we'll have to move Madam Wei and the others." Lu Qing said.

The Black Wolf Gang made no attempt to conceal their presence this time.

Once the County Town authorities discover their disappearance, they will definitely send people to investigate.

At that time, they will definitely trace it back to the Da Ji.

"Where can we move it?" Ma Gu asked, troubled.

He was well aware that hiding Madam Wei and the others in the house was no longer safe.

But for the time being, he didn't know where else he could put people.

Lu Qing also felt troubled.

Madam Wei and her son are now two hot potatoes.

No matter where they hide, they could very well bring death to the people there.

Unless the person who dares to take them in is also not afraid of the Innate Realm expert like Wang Cangyi.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Qing said, "It seems that the only solution now is to hide the Madam and the others in the mountains."

The Da Shan are vast and desolate; it's easy for someone to hide there.

Now that Madam Wei's injuries have healed, as long as they make proper preparations, hiding in the mountains for a period of time should not be a problem.

"That's the only way," Ma Gu nodded. "Let's go in and ask Madam for her opinion."

The two entered the dark room.

"Young Master Lu (Little Doctor Lu)!"

When Madam Wei and her son saw Lu Qing, they were overjoyed.

They were surprised and worried when they heard from Ma Gu that Lu Qing had gone to pursue the enemy.

We are all happy to see him return safely.

"Madam, Young Master," Lu Qing nodded in response, "The villains outside have been dealt with for the time being, but it is clearly no longer safe for Madam and Young Master to stay here any longer..."

Lu Qing explained his idea of moving them away.

Madam Wei pondered for a while and did not object.

Since their whereabouts might be exposed, staying here would not only be unsafe, but could also bring disaster to the people nearby.

Therefore, relocation is the best solution.

With Madam Wei's agreement, the rest was easy.

The group immediately packed their belongings, including essential supplies, which were then carried by Lu Qing and Ma Gu. They then led Madam Wei Young Master Wei out through the tunnel in the secret room.

However, before leaving, Ma Gu also gave Xiao Tian an order to temporarily close the Da Ji, and they also dispersed to find places to avoid trouble.

Emerging from the tunnel, Lu Qing and his companions found themselves in a mountain behind the Da Ji.

Lu Qing handed the bundle on his back to Young Master Wei, while he carried Madam Wei on his back, and the four of them headed into the deep mountains.

After searching deep in the mountains, Lu Qing finally found a hidden cave more than ten meters high on a cliff in a valley.

After being cleaned, it served as a temporary shelter for Madam Wei.

After that, Lu Qing scattered a packet of Medicinal Powder at the entrance of the cave.

"Madam, we'll have to make do with you staying here for now. This Medicinal Powder has the effect of repelling insects and beasts. With it on, most wild animals, poisonous insects, and snakes won't dare to come in easily."

After taking care of everything, Lu Qing said.

"I dare not complain," Madam Wei quickly replied. "Given the current situation, we are already extremely grateful that my son and I have a place to stay."

"I will send in some supplies every now and then. Just let me know if you need anything."

After settling Madam Wei and her son in, Lu Qing prepared to leave.

He won't stay in the valley, but Ma Gu will stay here with Madam Wei.

Otherwise, these two have absolutely no experience surviving in the mountains and forests, and they would probably run into trouble in just a few days.

"Brother Lu Qing, let me see you off."

At this moment, Ma Gu suddenly spoke.

"That works too." Lu Qing didn't refuse.

The two arrived at the cave entrance, jumped down, and reached the bottom of the valley.

There was actually a rope ladder made of old vines at the entrance of the cave, but Lu Qing and his companion were clearly not skilled enough to use it to carry anything.

"Master Ma, I see that your muscles and bones are strong and elastic when you walk. You should be close to breaking through to the Tendons and Bones Realm, right?"

Upon reaching the bottom of the valley, Lu Qing looked Ma Gu over and said...

"As expected, I couldn't hide it from you, Brother Lu Qing. That's right. After my battle with that Leather Armor Youth a while ago, I gained some insights and comprehended some principles of the Tendons and Bones Realm," Ma Gu said with a smile.

He also felt somewhat lucky.

He had been chased by the Leather Armor Youth, and in order to escape, he had used up all his strength.

Unexpectedly, escaping death allowed his potential to be unleashed, enabling him to reach the initial stage of mastery in the Tendons and Bones Minor Accomplishment.

However, because of the injury to his shoulder, he has been unable to concentrate on cultivation recently, so he has not yet fully entered that realm.

"This is a joyous occasion. I don't have anything particularly good here, so please accept this bottle of pills as my congratulatory gift to you, Master Ma."

Lu Qing took out a white porcelain medicine bottle and tossed it to Ma Gu.

Ma Gu was surprised that Lu Qing would suddenly throw out a bottle of pills, and he caught it in a bit of a fluster.

He asked with some doubt, "Brother Lu Qing, what kind of pill is this?"

"These are a few Bone Forging Pill Grand Steward Wei gave me before. They are quite beneficial for the cultivation of Martial Artist in the Tendons and Bones Realm."

Indeed, what Lu Qing gave him was the same three Bone Forging Pill that the Wei Clan had given him as a thank-you gift.

"Bone Forging Pill?" Ma Gu was taken aback upon hearing this.

How could he not have heard of such a precious elixir that could aid in the cultivation of the Tendons and Bones Realm?

"Brother Lu Qing, this is too precious," Ma Gu said hurriedly.

"It's alright. This pill is useless to me now, and it would be a waste to keep it here. You can take it."

The main function of the Bone Forging Pill is to assist Martial Artist in the Tendons and Bones Realm in their cultivation and expand their bone and tendon potential.

However, Lu Qing had consumed rare treasures like the Earth Vein Spirit Liquid and absorbed a great deal of Primal Qi White Mist condensed from the rules of heaven and earth when his master broke through.

Their potential and aptitude have long since reached a limit.

Although the Bone Forging Pill is a good medicine, it is no longer possible to enhance his potential.

Even for assisting cultivation, he has better Bone Forging Tendon Changing Pill.

Therefore, the Bone Forging Pill was no longer of much use to him, and he might as well give it to Ma Gu.

Lu Qing still admired Ma Gu.

This is a very worthwhile friend to have, and Lu Qing would be happy to lend a helping hand on his cultivation journey.

"Brother Lu Qing, well... I'll shamelessly accept it."

Ma Gu held the medicine bottle, feeling a surge of emotion.

Even the Wei Family doesn't possess such precious pills as the Bone Forging Pill.

Generally, only those great families and sects are capable of refining it.

Ordinary small factions can only acquire it by spending a large sum of money to buy it.

Although Ma Gu held a good position in the clan, he was not of the direct lineage, so the clan could not afford to spend a lot of money to purchase such precious cultivation resources for him.

Now, Lu Qing gave him such a precious pill without even blinking, how could Ma Gu not be moved?

"Alright, since we're friends, there's no need for words of thanks. And Master Ma, remember, you can only refine this Bone Forging Pill after you've officially reached the Lesser Completion of the Tendons and Bones Realm and solidified your foundation. Otherwise, the medicinal power will be too strong and could be very harmful to your body," Lu Qing instructed.

"I've got it."

Ma Gu was shocked; he really didn't know that there were such taboos associated with taking the Bone Forging Pill.

"Then I'll be leaving now and will come back in a while. You can rest and recuperate here for now."

After saying that, Lu Qing used his movement technique and disappeared into the valley in a few leaps.

After watching Lu Qing's figure disappear into the forest, Ma Gu was lost in thought for a while before returning to the cave along the vine ladder.

"Ma Gu, Little Doctor Lu left?" Young Master Wei asked.

"That's right, he said he'll come to visit us again in a while."

What are you holding in your hand?

Young Master Wei noticed the medicine bottle in Ma Gu's hand.

"This was just given to me by Brother Lu Qing. He said it was Bone Forging Pill that your Wei Clan once gave him," Ma Gu said without any hesitation.

"Bone Forging Pill? Didn't Young Master Lu take these pills?" Madam Wei asked in surprise.

She personally selected this elixir from the pharmacy in the manor, but she never expected that Lu Qing would not take it.

"Brother Lu Qing said that these pills were no longer of much use to him and would be a waste to take them, so he gave them to me," Ma Gu explained.

Madam Wei remained silent for a moment.

Earlier in the dark room, she heard Ma Gu say that Lu Qing's martial arts cultivation had likely reached the stage of Tendons and Bones Major Accomplishment.

At that moment, she was greatly surprised and thought of the few Bone Forging Pill she had given away, which must have been of great help to Lu Qing.

Unexpectedly, Lu Qing did not take these pills at all.

This made the Wei Clan owe Lu Qing an even greater favor.

As Madam Wei sighed, Young Master Wei beside her also looked conflicted.

After hesitating for a few moments, he finally spoke up, "Ma Gu, can you teach me martial arts?"

"Young master, what did you say?" Ma Gu thought he had misheard.

"I said, can you teach me martial arts?"

After uttering the first sentence, Young Master Wei put aside his embarrassment and spoke frankly.

"Young master, you jest. Your household has many experts, any one of whom could easily defeat me. If you want to learn martial arts, you can ask them for guidance later. How could my rudimentary skills possibly teach you?" Ma Gu shook his head repeatedly.

The Wei Clan has a deep foundation; he might not be able to defeat any Silver Moon Guard.

Let him teach Young Master Wei, wouldn't that be misleading the young master?

"But my guards aren't here right now, they can't teach me."

Young Master Wei said seriously, "Besides, we don't even know if my mother and I will be able to return to the Wei Clan alive."

What if evildoers find us tomorrow and try to take my mother and me away? Am I just supposed to watch you fight alone while I, a useless person, can only hide on the sidelines and watch? I don't want that anymore. I want to have the power to protect my mother with my own hands.

So, Ma Gu, please teach me. I promise you, no matter how tiring or difficult it is, I can persevere.

Ma Gu looked at Young Master Wei in surprise.

As for Madam Wei, her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at her son.

I never expected him to say something like that.

You should know that back when they were in the manor, An'er hated practicing martial arts the most.

He complains incessantly as soon as he feels a little tired, and simply can't continue practicing.

On ordinary days, he is lazy and slacking off, with no intention of cultivating at all.

Unfortunately, the martial arts instructors in the manor dared not force him and had no way to deal with him.

Therefore, even with the resources of the manor, An'er could only barely cultivate to the Qi Blood Realm, knowing only some fancy moves, and didn't know how to fight at all.

Now that she heard her son had actually asked to learn martial arts, how could Madam Wei not be surprised?

Looking at the serious expression on her son's face and the stubble on his face, Madam Wei realized that after these days of hardship, her son's face had become much more resolute.

Her entire demeanor is quite different from before.

Overjoyed, Madam Wei also stood up and bowed to Ma Gu Guying.

"Brave Warrior Ma, since An'er has this intention, I, as his mother, humbly request that you grant his request so that he may pay homage to you as his master."

"Madam, this is absolutely not allowed!" Ma Gu exclaimed in surprise, waving his hands repeatedly.

The etiquette of a teacher is not a casual matter.

That's a grand gesture only a true master and disciple would perform.

In other words, Madam Wei actually wanted Young Master Wei to truly become her disciple.

Being the teacher of the Young Master Wei —even if Ma Gu had a few more lives, he wouldn't dare.

"Why not Brave Warrior Ma, you are a man of great righteousness. You have risked your life many times to save us, An'er and son. Such righteousness is rare in this world. It is An'er's good fortune to be able to become your disciple," Madam Wei said earnestly.

"Madam, please don't flatter me. I know my own worth, don't I?" Ma Gu said with a wry smile, feeling embarrassed.

"However, if the Young Master really wants to learn martial arts, then I am willing to teach him, as long as the madam and the young master do not mind that my skills are rudimentary."

"An'er, hurry up and thank Brave Warrior Ma," Madam Wei.

"Thank you, Master!"

Young Master Wei was also decisive; he immediately knelt down, kowtowed heavily to Ma Gu several times, and shouted loudly.

"This... this..."

Ma Gu never expected that Young Master Wei would kowtow to him so readily.

By the time he tried to stop them, they had already kowtowed.

For a moment, Ma Gu was completely dazed.

He was a little confused as to how he had somehow become Young Master Young Master Wei's master.
