Martial Arts Special Training

There are still two Martial Arts School in Ping Yang Town. With the Water Blessing Sect coming in with great force, we should do our part.

After a moment of thought, the people present exchanged glances.

"Let's forget about it. The fewer people who know about this, the better. Besides, those two masters combined aren't even a match for Third Senior Brother. They won't be of much help anyway. Once we find the location of the Mountain Ghost, we can have them come out and clean up the mess," Xiang ChangSong suggested.

Hu Qi frowned. "If the Water Blessing Sect really wants to re-refine the Fetus Pearl Pill, the quality of the person being formed must be as good and strong as possible. Since Master Yang is not here, the Martial Arts School may be the first to be affected. Is there any risk in not informing them?"

"If we were to inform them, there's no guarantee there aren't any spies within the martial Martial Arts School. That could allow the Water Blessing Sect to take action ahead of time, leaving us overwhelmed. Knowing the plan in advance is our advantage."

Hu Qi Xiang ChangSong both fell into deep thought.

This is really tricky.

Listening to his two senior brothers' discussion, Liang Qu felt that the matter was difficult to handle, and there were risks involved whether they spoke up or not.

After a while, Hu Qi said again, "According to Master's Wife, if the Mountain Ghost in Yi Xing City was accidentally attracted by the River God Sacrifice, then how do we explain the one in Fahua Temple? We still haven't caught that Mountain Ghost. It seems that the people from the Water Blessing Sect may have dealt with it first."

I initially thought Lu Shaohui's appearance was due to being hatched by Little Mountain Ghost, but now I can't be sure whether that appearance was artificially created after the embryo was removed, or whether he truly was hatched by Mountain Ghost.

"Is it possible that the Water Blessing Sect doesn't actually have much control over the Mountain Ghost? Are they also playing with fire? Or is it possible that the number of Mountain Ghost has already reached such a large extent that some oversights have occurred?"

"Too little information."

"Well, I think the most urgent thing is to inform Senior Brother Xu and Senior Brother Lu and see what they think."

Liang Qu stood up and suggested, "Then I'll go find Senior Brother Lu, Senior Brother Xiang will go find Senior Brother Xu?"

Hu Qi looked up; it was already late. He nodded and said, "Then I'll stay at the Martial Arts School to keep watch. Remember to keep a low profile and don't let anyone see you."

"Um."

The two nodded, Liang Qu was about to step out of the Round Cave Door when Hu Qi suddenly called out to him.

"Junior brother has already broken through the cultivation level?"

"Yes, just the day before yesterday."

"It's a few days faster than I expected. Junior Brother's talent is truly extraordinary; he must have Fate Standard."

It's Fate Standard again.

Liang Qu vaguely remembered that when he first merged with Marsh Spirit, he could learn about its Fate Standard.

So it seems I do indeed have Fate Standard.

"Now that you've broken through the barrier, Junior Brother, you shouldn't isolate yourself from the world anymore. It's dangerous outside these days, so you should stay at the Martial Arts School and practice your fighting techniques. I'll teach you another martial art."

Martial arts.

Liang Qu knew about this, as recorded in "Yu Guan Xiu's Reflections on Life and Cultivation", which mainly divides it into three types: superior, middle and Lower Vehicle, each with three levels.

Unlike Cultivation Method, martial arts are techniques, a superb display of skill. By drawing in qi, the same punch, palm strike, or arrow can be unleashed with several times the power.

Given his current level of Qi and Blood, he can barely perform Lower Vehicle martial arts. Presumably, Hu Qi felt that he would not be able to the Breaking Flesh Realm in a short time, so he thought of learning martial arts to help him improve his combat power as much as possible.

"Your injury this time has reminded me that after this is over, you should go to the Evergreen Medical Hall to learn some medical skills. You don't need to be too proficient, but you should know the basics of herbal identification and bone setting. These are very important when you are traveling."

Everyone has their darkest times. In difficult times, even simple herbs are incredibly precious. Moreover, even the best remedies can only aid recovery; they can't automatically straighten a broken bone back into its original position. If you take medication rashly without help, it might heal as a deformity, making recovery even more difficult.

Hu Qi said solemnly, fearing that his junior brother might think the things were unimportant and not take them seriously, so he gave two examples.

Liang Qu knew that Hu Qi was right, but he felt that the burden on his shoulders had become much heavier.

He's like a kid whose parents have taken him out to sign him up for several extracurricular classes. The key point is that they really think it's for his own good, and he can't not learn.

After studying books, learning martial arts, and learning medicine, and after the incident with the Water Blessing Sect, Liang Qu even felt that he should learn more about history and secrets, otherwise he would be completely clueless when encountering problems.

This is the difference between those who come from unorthodox backgrounds and those who have inherited their skills.

A martial arts disciple with a lineage may not be stronger than someone who fights without proper training, but they are certainly more well-rounded, know more, and have a greater chance of surviving in difficult situations.

"Okay, it's nothing. I just wanted to let you know. Go and come back quickly."

"Good."

Liang Qu turned and stepped out of the Round Cave Door, until he passed through the corridor and arrived at the entrance of the Martial Arts School. Suddenly, he remembered something.

"Oh no, I haven't asked for leave from the academy yet."

Today is not a day off!

He stood up the academy! He had thought that after the River God worship ceremony at noon, he would still have time to go back to the academy for class, but so many things happened that he completely forgot about it and didn't even ask someone to ask for leave.

It's already dark, so there's probably no one at the academy. I'll find another opportunity to apologize tomorrow.

In Lu Gang's residence.

Liang Qu tiptoed in, led by the gatekeeper. He didn't know why he was doing it; it was a completely subconscious action.

It was dark, but it was only a quarter past the hour of Xu (7:00-9:00 Xu Time. It just gets dark quickly in winter.

Normally, there should be the clanging and banging of blacksmithing at Senior Brother Lu's house, but today there was not a sound at all.

Upon entering the room, several large iron furnaces had already gone dark, leaving only the large red furnace in the middle, which was used by Senior Brother Lu. Two strong men were guarding it, while Senior Brother Lu leaned against the side with his eyes closed, resting.

Almost the instant Liang Qu entered the room, creating a gust of air, Lu Gang opened his eyes and looked towards the door. "Junior Brother Liang?"

"Senior Brother Lu." Liang Qu bowed deeply, and it was clear from the situation that Senior Brother Lu had been working very hard for his spear these past few days.

"Did you need something?"

Liang Qu looked around and asked, "Senior brother, could we talk somewhere else?"

"Let's go to the Quiet Room."

In the Quiet Room, Liang Qu told Lu Gang everything that had happened that day, including the exchange between the Yang Residence and the Martial Arts School.

Lu Gang frowned.

"I know a bit about the Water Blessing Sect. I thought it was all extinct. It turns out it still exists. I happen to have some free time now. Let's go to the Martial Arts School."

Arrive at the Martial Arts School.

Hu Qi greeted Lu Gang, and the three of them waited together for Xiang ChangSong and Xu Zishuai.

It took almost 45 minutes before two figures hurriedly walked out of the corridor.

"Sorry, sorry, I'm late." Xu Zishuai apologized repeatedly as soon as he entered, and Liang Qu could faintly smell the scent of rouge.

"Where have you been gallivanting off to this time?"

Lu Gang frowned, and although he was asking a question, his gaze was fixed on Xiang ChangSong.

Xu Zishuai Xiang ChangSong a threatening look and smiled helplessly, "Senior Brother Lu already has the answer in his heart, doesn't he?"

Lu Gang sighed helplessly, "My junior brothers are all here, so I won't say anything to you. Just do what you think is best. If you go to those kinds of places too often in the future, don't blame me if your legs and arms go weak."

"Hehe, Senior Brother Lu, don't underestimate me." Xu Zishuai straightened his back, dusted off his knee apron, and was about to boast.

"Alright, stop fooling around and get down to business. Do you all know about the Water Blessing Sect?" As the oldest and most powerful disciple present, Lu Gang naturally took on the responsibility of leading the way.

Xu Zishuai's expression turned serious. "I do have an idea about the Water Blessing Sect."
