Poor Taoist Qiu Chuji

Chapter 169: Teaching Guo Jing and Instructing the Six Monsters

Overnight, his martial arts skills improved greatly, but Qiu Chuji did not show any sign of success.

This parallel world, just like the world he had before, is just a small puddle. If one cultivates to the highest level, he will reach the same realm as Bodhidharma and Zhang Sanfeng. In the eyes of others, he is already like a god on earth, but he is limited by the constraints of the world. From the perspective of his physical body, he can only be regarded as an ordinary person.

Fortunately, Qiu Chuji was still able to sense the Yuxu Bell and draw the Yuan Qi from his small world for cultivation. If he did nothing in the next three years and just practiced hard, he would be able to raise the Yuan Qi of this body to a level that was almost the same as his original body.

But there is no point in doing this. This time, I have another purpose for traveling across time and space with my soul.

Accompanied by the loud sound of roosters crowing, Wang Chuyi, who had just recovered from a serious injury, and Ma Yu had all walked out of their respective houses and stood in the courtyard to start morning exercises. Soon, the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan, as well as Guo Jing, Mu Nianci and others also came out for morning exercises.

After yesterday's fierce battle and the burial of Yang Tiexin and his wife, everyone was mentally and spiritually exhausted. However, practicing martial arts to strengthen the body has become a habit and no one has given it up.

This is how it is for people who practice martial arts. Unless they have reached a certain level, they have to keep their fists in their hands all the time and practice diligently for ten years. Qiu Chuji's previous path of advancement is definitely not universal.

When Qiu Chuji appeared in the courtyard of the inn, Wang Chuyi, whose face was still a little pale, smiled and said, "I'm afraid you were too tired yesterday. You got up so late today. In the past, you should have been the first one to get up."

Qiu Chuji looked at Wang Chuyi, who had grown a long beard and looked a bit old, and whose eyes only vaguely resembled those of his youth. However, he did not feel any strangeness towards him at this moment.

"Since last night, I don't need to get up early for morning exercises anymore!" Qiu Chuji did not intend to hide and be just a passer-by in this world.

Digesting the demon seed would definitely not be that easy. If Qiu Chuji wanted to protect Yang Kang, he had to show his own extraordinary ability.

This journey is not only a practice for Yang Kang, but also a practice for Qiu Chuji.

Ma Yu was shocked when he heard this: "Junior brother! Temporary setbacks are nothing but passing clouds. Although we should guard against arrogance and impatience, we should not lose our diligence!"

Ma Yu had always been troubled by his junior fellow apprentice's recklessness and impulsiveness, and his love of showing off and fighting, so he traveled thousands of miles to the desert to find Guo Jing to teach him Quanzhen internal energy, hoping that Qiu Chuji would lose and calm down his temper after some training.

Now it seems that the goal has been achieved, but... has it gone too far?

Ke Zhenwu also said: "Yes! Master Qiu, you don't seem like someone who can't stand losing."

His words sounded harsh, but they were actually meant to provoke.

Qiu Chuji waved his hands when he heard this and said, "You all misunderstood. Last night, I gained something by chance. I observed the stars and realized the great Dao. I gradually understood that the universe is ever-changing, like the ebb and flow of the tide. The hundreds of orifices in the human body respond to the stars above and the earth below. Therefore, my cultivation has made great progress. Unknowingly, I have reached the realm of heaven and man. Cultivation has been integrated into every move. There is no need for me to practice so hard anymore!"

Everyone around looked at Qiu Chuji in amazement, having no idea what he was talking about.

"Junior brother! Come back to the mountain with me quickly, let's recuperate for some time." Ma Yu was horrified and stepped forward to grab Qiu Chuji's wrist to check his condition.

Qiu Chuji said little, but just raised his hand gracefully and lightly.

"There are gods three feet above your head, and the world is three inches in the palm of your hand. Everyone, please watch carefully!"

However, in Qiu Chuji's palm, crystal clear light emerged, and the light condensed and miraculously formed into a real small sword in front of everyone.

"go with!"

The small sword flew out of his hand, whistling all the way, and swept across the ground, leaving deep scratches. Wherever it passed, it cut through everything, until it flew to the gate of the courtyard, tore the gate into pieces, and hit a poplar tree in front of the gate, cutting the tree in half before it stopped.

quiet!
A pin drop audible silence!

This kind of method... This kind of method has already exceeded the martial arts common sense of everyone present.

Yesterday, everyone was being chased by the golden dogs, but this Ox Nose got the chance to become an immortal early this morning?
Could it be that Wang Chongyang appeared in spirit?

"This...is this the art of flying swords?"

"Could it be that the Taoist priest has become a sword immortal?" Han Xiaoying exclaimed.

Qiu Chuji said calmly: "This is my Quanzhen sword technique, Dingyang Needle!"

The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan were skeptical, but Ma Yu and Wang Chuyi widened their eyes and looked at Qiu Chuji in disbelief.

Is this Dingyang Needle?
Come on! Let's go to Master's tomb and have a good talk. Master Sanqing, what kind of Dingyang Needle is this?

You are telling lies with open eyes, right?
"Brother Ma and Brother Wang, don't you believe me?" Qiu Chuji looked at the expressions on Ma Yu and the other man's faces and regained a sense of familiarity.

"Junior brother... although your cultivation has greatly improved, but... remember not to speak nonsense!" Ma Yu said reluctantly. At the same time, he was also thinking, wondering if Master Wang Chongyang could have made such a sword strike when he was alive. If not, how terrifying must Junior Brother Qiu's cultivation be at this moment.

Also, is what Qiu Chuji just said about observing the stars and feeling the earth's origin true?
Should he try it too?
Ma Yu has a calm mind and does not have the desire to compete, but damn... the gap is too big!

"Brother, the so-called Dingyang Needle is to gather the sword energy and turn it into a small needle like a cow hair. It can break the surface and pierce the acupuncture points to attack the enemy. A more thorough approach is to compress the power. The sword I just used was also like this. How can it not be considered a Dingyang Needle!" Qiu Chuji said with a smile.

good good!
That’s the theory, right?
Most of the people who knew about it and those who didn't were silent. Only Guo Jing scratched the back of his head and said, "Master, what you said makes sense. So, the boxing method taught by the fourth master and the palm method taught by the fifth master are both powerful. I can use them as well."

"Jing'er! What nonsense are you talking about!"

"You forgot what our master taught you. You can't use strength randomly. No matter how similar the moves are, as long as the strength is different, they can't be confused." Ke Zhenwu scolded immediately.

"Master Ke is right. We just need to use supreme and powerful strength and integrate it into one force. Then, as long as it is a powerful move, we can use it at will." Qiu Chuji said.

Then he said to Guo Jing: "I happen to have such a skill here, how about I teach it to you?"

Then he said to Ke Zhen'e and the others, "This child and I have a destiny. Brother Guo and Brother Yang and I are close friends. It was all because of me that their families were destroyed and their wives and children were separated. Now I want to teach this child some martial arts to protect himself. I hope you brothers will help me."

Now that Qiu Chuji had said this, how could the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan refuse?

Therefore, everyone decided to disperse and give Qiu Chuji space to teach Guo Jing.

Qiu Chuji said, "There is no need to do this. It is just some basic skills. Let's discuss it together. If there is anything inappropriate, we can stop it in time."

The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan looked at each other for a few seconds, then nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, at Qiu Chuji's request, Guo Jing began to practice the kung fu taught by several masters.

If you just perform the moves and don't involve the power formulas, it won't be considered a taboo.

By the time the fight was over, it was already noon. Qiu Chuji noticed someone peeking at them from the top of the wall and realized that it was Huang Rong looking at her brother Jing. Mu Nianci had already gone to the kitchen to prepare meals for everyone.

"Jing'er! You are naturally brave and talented. You can put aside your skills that require more flexibility for the time being and slowly hone them after you are thirty years old. Now you can focus on the big opening and closing moves, which do not require such complicated methods."

"I have a set of palm techniques and a set of boxing techniques. You can learn them."

After saying this, Qiu Chuji began to practice boxing, reciting the formula of boxing strength at the same time.

Qiu Chuji had great skills and knowledge. Although this set of boxing skills was still unknown, it was already the top boxing skills in the world. Everyone only felt the wind from the boxing was violent and the pressure was heavy. They couldn't help but retreat several meters around them, and then they could barely feel their breath.

“This set of boxing techniques is powerful and heavy, just like the mountains. No matter how strong the river is, I will remain unmoved. It is said that no matter how strong it is, the wind blows across the hills.” After the boxing was finished, everyone present fell into deep thought.

They had never seen or even heard of this kind of boxing before.

Ma Yu and Wang Chuyi were knowledgeable, so they were even more surprised to find that the set of boxing performed by Qiu Chuji was even more powerful than the Xingluo San Shou inherited from the Quanzhen Sect, and its power was comparable to the Beggar Gang's Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.

Among the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan, except Ke Zhen'e and Han Xiaoying, most of the others are good at hand skills. For them, this set of boxing skills undoubtedly opened the door to top martial arts, allowing them to have the possibility of glimpsing the top at this age.

His breathing became a little rapid, and he felt a little more grateful to Qiu Chuji.

They spent eighteen years in the desert voluntarily, but they were also entrusted by Qiu Chuji.

As a result, they spent their best years teaching Guo Jing well, but Qiu Chuji almost let Yang Kang do what he wanted. In comparison, he couldn't help feeling a little resentful.

After all, although the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan are one group, not all of them are as blind as Ke Zhenwu.

Now that he had obtained Qiu Chuji's unique skills, all the dissatisfaction in his heart disappeared, and instead he felt a little embarrassed for having taken advantage of him.

After finishing the boxing technique, Qiu Chuji started to practice palm techniques.

This palm technique does not just follow the tough and fierce approach. Although the moves are simple, they use soft power and are obviously a set of soft palm techniques.

The palm techniques were continuous, like clouds covering the sky, whistling in, yet changing unpredictably.

"Boxing and palm techniques are not separated. The two can be integrated, either using softness to create hardness or hardness to create softness. The ultimate goal is to achieve a balance of hardness and softness, embracing the yin and yang of Tai Chi."

At the end, Qiu Chuji threw a fist and a palm at the same time, but there was no trace of worldly airs, just like the health-preserving fist for conditioning the body. However, the people who had seen the punch and palm just now would never doubt the power, but just thought that they did not understand it yet.

These punches and palm strikes not only opened up a way forward for Guo Jing, but also brought great benefits to the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan. They only needed to carefully comprehend the boxing theories and palm techniques to take their martial arts to a new level.

How could they not know at this time that Qiu Chuji was taking the opportunity to enlighten them while teaching Guo Jing?

"Jing'er! The Taoist's punches and palms are unparalleled in the world. How much have you learned?" Ke Zhen'e was blind and could not see the punches and palms moves, but he could hear the secrets of the power and also gained a lot, so he asked Guo Jing.

Guo Jing's face flushed: "I... I only remembered the first two moves of the boxing technique, and I have forgotten most of the formulas."

Ke Zhenwu snorted coldly and his face immediately fell.
