"My Peach Blossom Island owes you a debt of gratitude. Is there anything you desire? Please tell me."

If someone whom Huang Yaoshi disliked taught Huang Rong martial arts, even if the martial arts taught were good, it would not make Huang Yaoshi happy.

He would only give a few cold snorts, then say with great displeasure, "Is the martial arts of Peach Blossom Island inferior to yours?"

Or perhaps they're saying, "Can't I teach my daughter? Are you a better teacher than me?"

That's roughly it.

However, if someone Huang Yaoshi approves of teaches Huang Rong martial arts, Huang Yaoshi will benefit and naturally be happy, just like when Huang Rong became Hong Qigong's disciple. Even though he called Hong Qigong an old beggar, Hong Qigong was still highly respected by Huang Yaoshi.

The Seven Immortals of Quanzhen were of average strength and were not taken seriously by Huang Yaoshi.

Although they were all self-taught and naturally not as skilled as those who practiced from childhood, and had a longer training period, which put them at a disadvantage, the martial arts world is all about strength. If you are not as good as others, there is nothing you can do about it.

However, Huang Yaoshi absolutely recognized the Quanzhen Sect's kung fu, since it was the kung fu passed down by Wang Chongyang.

Other sword and palm techniques, though subtle and powerful, are not impossible for someone at the level of the Five Greats to create with some effort.

Only the Daoist Internal Cultivation of the Quanzhen Sect School, derived from Daoist principles and combined with their individually created external techniques, already possess unique characteristics, not to mention the internal cultivation techniques practiced within the body.

Naturally influenced by their individual temperaments, it was quite difficult to create such a balanced and harmonious internal martial art.

Ji Boying's talent and martial arts skills have now been recognized by Huang Yaoshi. In addition, the internal energy he taught was even more advanced than the Quanzhen Internal Energy Quanzhen Inner Cultivation Method of the Xuanmen, which made Huang Yaoshi even happier.

"If you ask me what I want, hehe, to be honest, senior, every single martial art of your Peach Blossom Island is something I covet."

Ji Boying's greedy words did not anger Huang Yaoshi.

But just the fact that Ji Boying was Wang Chongyang's disciple was enough to make Huang Yaoshi happy, not to mention that Ji Boying himself was a person no less than the Five Greats.

For someone to covet the martial arts of Peach Blossom Island is undoubtedly a wonderful compliment to Huang Yaoshi.

"Haha, easy, easy. With your internal strength alone, I can teach you two martial arts techniques from Peach Blossom Island. If you want other skills, you'll have to exchange them for something else."

Huang Yaoshi smiled and sat down on the armchair next to him.

However, his eyes never left the long sword at Ji Boying's waist.

I've also heard some of the gossip that's been happening in the Lu Chengfeng world from Lu Chengfeng.

In addition to Huang Rong's introduction and explanation just now.

Ji Boying's martial arts skills were clearly already quite advanced before he joined the Quanzhen Sect.

The palm technique has just been demonstrated, but the sword technique hasn't been shown yet.

Moreover, it's not the Quanzhen Sword Technique.

Since it's not the Quanzhen Sword Technique, there's no need to worry about it not being passed on to outsiders.

Huang Yaoshi had such a sharp eye that he could naturally tell that Ji Boying was not a person who followed the rules.

He is a very generous person, and judging from his words just now, he clearly has no prejudice against any particular group.

Such a compatible person, if she could become my woman...

He was initially happy, but the thought of this incident instantly darkened his expression, and he glared at Guo Jing and snorted.

Guo Jing, bewildered yet obedient, lowered his head and scratched the back of his head.

"Hey kid, come here."

Huang Yaoshi called Lu Guanying over.

As soon as Lu Guanying approached, Huang Yaoshi did not get up, but reached out and grasped Lu Guanying's pulse point in his hand.

This startled everyone except Ji Boying.

"My Honored Master, I only have this one son."

Lu Chengfeng was so frightened that he almost cried, but he still dared not do anything disrespectful.

Lu Guanying instinctively tried to resist.

He struggled for a moment, but Huang Yaoshi twisted his arm and forced him to kneel on the ground.

"You're very good. You didn't teach him any of your sect's martial arts. Is this child a disciple of the Xianxia Sect?"

Lu Chengfeng was relieved, knowing that his master was testing Lu Guanying's martial arts skills.

"As a disciple expelled from the sect, how dare I violate the sect's rules? Without my Honored Master's permission, I would never dare to teach the kung fu of Peach Blossom Island to others. This child is a disciple of Master Kumoku of the Xianxia Sect."

Upon hearing this, Huang Yaoshi sighed, "Chengfeng, you are very good. I was too hasty back then and misunderstood you..."

Huang Yaoshi didn't finish his sentence and changed the subject.

"What kind of master is this with his meager skills? Your skills are a hundred times better than his. From now on, you should teach him your skills yourself. The martial arts of the Xianxia Sect are not even worthy of carrying the shoes of Peach Blossom Island."

Lu Chengfeng happily knelt down, but due to his leg disability, he inevitably stumbled.

"Thank you for your kind permission, my Honored Master."

"Quickly, quickly thank the ancestral master for his grace."

Lu Guanying immediately knelt down and kowtowed four times.

Huang Yaoshi ignored him and simply took out two pieces of white paper from his pocket and placed them on the table.

Lu Chengfeng took a look and realized it was the Peach Blossom Island Whirlwind Sweep Leg Technique.

I would have been so happy to be taught such skills back then. Although I can't learn them myself now, I can pass them on to my son.

But then Huang Yaoshi said, "This kung fu is quite different from the one I created in my early years. Although the moves are still the same, you need to practice your internal energy first. You should meditate and practice your qi according to the secret manual every day. If you can practice well and make rapid progress, you will be able to walk on your own in five or six years."

As Huang Yaoshi spoke, he sighed again and said, "Your disability is incurable; you can only walk slowly..."

Huang Yaoshi regretted that he had been too hasty and angry back then.

But Lu Chengfeng was overwhelmed with emotion and deeply moved, repeatedly thanking his Honored Master.

"Since you have great power, do your best to find your three brothers and pass on this skill to them."

Lu Chengfeng readily agreed, and then said, "I have been trying to find out where Senior Brother Qu and Junior Brother Feng are, but I haven't been able to. Junior Brother Mianfeng has... has been dead for many years."

Huang Yaoshi felt a pang of pain in his heart and remained silent.

Ji Boying hesitated for a moment, then sighed.

"Island Master Huang, I know where Senior Brother Qu is, but it's already... it's already..."

Huang Yaoshi and the others were initially overjoyed upon hearing this, but before they could even feel their delight, they were struck by a deep pain in their hearts, and their vision almost went black.

Lu Chengfeng burst into tears.

"Is this... is this real or fake?"

"Please accept my condolences. This is something I discovered while investigating the affairs of the Guo and Yang families in Niujia Village. Qu Lingfeng changed his name to Qu San in Niujia Village and ran a hotel to make a living. He was also a friend of Guo Jing's father."

"He repeatedly attempted to steal calligraphy, paintings, and antiques from the palace, but ultimately failed..."

Huang Yaoshi let out another sigh.
