Iron Palm

After a brief discussion, the group prepared to leave.

Ji Boying captured two more Iron Palm Gang disciples who were skilled in martial arts.

Judging from their palm techniques, they were clearly personally trained by Qiu Qianren, and they were quite skillful.

He can be considered a core disciple of the Iron Palm Gang, so he should know quite a few secrets.

They seized the two men and forced them to lead the way to Qiu Qianren's residence.

After passing two groups of buildings, we arrived at several rather ornate pavilions.

The group rushed in and searched the place.

"Are there still women's residences here?"

Huang Rong exclaimed in surprise.

I just saw the Iron Palm Gang disciples gather, and there wasn't a single woman among them. "Is she Qiu Qianren Qiu Qianzhang's wife? It seems like no one has lived here for a long time."

"This is the residence of our gang leader's sister. She is no longer with the gang and has gone off to roam the martial world."

The Iron Palm Gang disciple explained.

"I heard that there are three siblings in the Qiu family. The eldest brother, Qiu Qianzhang, is not very capable and only likes to swindle and cheat. The second brother, Qiu Qianren, is indeed a remarkable person. He has mastered the Iron Palm technique quite well. Their youngest sister, Qiu Qianchi, is nicknamed Iron Palm Lotus, and her kung fu is not bad either."

Ji Boying recalled the situation of the Qiu family and said.

I vaguely remember that their third sister was closest to Qiu Qianzhang. However, because Qiu Qianzhang often impersonated Qiu Qianren, a conflict arose between the two brothers. Qiu Qianchi sided with Qiu Qianzhang, which made them both angry.

He then went off to travel the world.

I wonder if I ran into Gongsun Zhi at this time.

Whether he exists or not doesn't matter anymore; he's just a minor character, and Ji Boying doesn't care at all now.

It's more important to get to my own business first.

The group then barged into Qiu Qianren's room.

The bedding was neatly folded, and although there was no dust on the table, it was clear that no one had lived there for a long time.

"The leader often goes into seclusion and does not stay here for long."

The disciple then explained, fearing that Ji Boying might misunderstand and think he had led the wrong way.

Ignoring him, the others began rummaging through Qiu Qianren's room.

After searching for most of the day, I still found nothing.

"It seems the manual isn't here. I wonder if it's in that stone house, or if Qiu Qianren carried it with him?"

Ji Boying muttered to himself.

"Oh dear, let's stop looking and hurry up. Brother Ji already has the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, why would he need his broken Iron Palm? What Iron Sand Palm? It sounds awful, it can't be that powerful."

Huang Rong swayed left and right, looking around anxiously.

Having been away from home for so long, she really missed her father. If she could see her fourth senior brother and have him invite her father over or send a boat to Peach Blossom Island, that would be wonderful.

"Don't underestimate the Iron Palm Iron Palm Technique of the Iron Palm Gang. Qiu Qianren was able to compete with the Five Greats with such skills, which shows that he is extraordinary. His Lightness Skill also has many merits."

"So what if it's extraordinary? It still can't compare to the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, right? Brother Ji's Three Flowers Gathering at the Peak Palm Technique combined with the Heart Severing Palm is also terrifying when it's unleashed. This Iron Palm Technique can't be stronger than your palm techniques, can it?"

Huang Rong was fickle and naturally did not understand Ji Boying's thoughts.

Ji Boying also intentionally gave her guidance.

"A tall building rises from the ground. To go far and high, you must lay a deep foundation. Although Iron Palm Technique is not as strong as my current palm technique, it is still a skill of the same level and has great value for reference. To become a grandmaster, one should naturally learn from the strengths of others."

According to Ji Boying, both Guo Jing and Huang Rong possessed the talent to become grandmasters.

Guo Jing may seem foolish and clumsy, but he is actually quite intelligent.

The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan were simply not very good at teaching their disciples.

Fortunately, Guo Jing had a solid foundation and later had a breakthrough. He was able to understand the profound meaning of both the Nine Yin Manual and the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. He could also observe the night sky and get inspiration from the Big Dipper. He also mastered the Empty Fist.

To say that such a person is stupid or incompetent is a gross oversimplification.

Huang Rong is Huang Yaoshi's daughter. She has good natural talent and good comprehension. It's just a pity that she is fickle. If she had focused more on studying martial arts, she would at the very least be a person who could fight Qiu Qianren head-on.

Guo Jing can pursue depth, while Huang Rong can pursue breadth.

Just as the Five Greats can gain inspiration from each other when they practice martial arts together, the two of them, being husband and wife, will naturally cooperate even more closely and go even further in the future.

But that's all in the future; what the future holds depends on their own destiny.

Several people then rushed into Qiu Qianren's stone house.

After another chaotic rummaging, they even unearthed a large pot of iron sand.

Still, nothing was gained.

"You all come out first."

Ji Boying called everyone outside.

Without using the long sword at his waist, he used both hands simultaneously to perform the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.

His true energy overflowed, displaying immense power, and with a series of cracking sounds, he smashed the stone house to pieces.

All four walls were knocked down, separating the stone bricks.

The stone roof was also smashed by Ji Boying using the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.

Then they searched through the stones one by one to see if there were any hidden compartments.

Bend over and gently press down with your hand.

The hard bluestone was as brittle as a biscuit in Ji Boying's hands.

They gently broke the pieces into small pieces, each about the size of a child's fist, as if they were breaking up a mutton soup.

Such a relaxed and carefree attitude made Ying Gu's heart skip a beat.

Even though I've heard that Wang Chongyang was the best in the world back then, I've never seen him use such a method.

As the saying goes, "Heaven helps those who help themselves." Ji Boying already crushed three of the four walls to pieces, but finally he found a hidden compartment in a piece of bluestone.

Two thin booklets were placed here, one about Iron Palm Technique and the other about Water Strider.

After taking the manual, they stood still and carefully examined it, without Guo Jing Huang Rong disturbing them.

Having read it from beginning to end, Ji Boying, with his current martial arts skills, didn't encounter any difficult or tricky points.

They are indeed two very exquisite martial arts manuals.

Ji Boying's current goal is not to directly cultivate Iron Palm Technique and Water Strider, but to extract the essence from these two manuals, discard the dross, and integrate them into his own palm techniques and Lightness Skill.

This is not something that can be accomplished in a short time.

They happily tossed the two manuals to Guo Jing Huang Rong, letting them flip through them and take a look.

The four of them then happily descended the mountain.

Guo Jing and Huang Rong whistled a few times.

The Little Red Horse suddenly darted out from some unknown direction.

Then they walked eastward along the river.

We arrived at a bustling town.

They spent some money to rent a large boat, put the Little Red Horse on board, and the four of them sailed east to Taihu Lake.

Huang Rong sat on the boat, looking at the scenery on both sides of the river while studying the Wumu's Testament. Occasionally, she would discuss with Guo Jing the terrain and roads they had encountered along their journey from north to south and from south to north, and how to arrange their troops.

Ji Boying, on the other hand, focused on practicing his skills.

He casually passed on his Lightness Skill and internal energy cultivation to Ying Gu, letting her practice on her own.

He studied the Nine Yin Manual and the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms while extracting the essence of Iron Palm Technique and Water Strider Skill.

At the same time, he also Quanzhen Sword Technique, integrating this skill of controlling the sword with qi into his own Heavenly Merit Five Directions Sword.
