Zhu Tian: Starting from the Laughing Proud Yue Buqun

Chapter 141 Would you be willing to become my disciple?

Chapter 141 Would you be willing to become my disciple?
The Zhu family, Hongmei Villa.

"Stand back."

Xu Qing sat at the head of the main hall and dismissed Zhu Changling, Wu Lie, and the others.

No one dared to disobey Xu Qing's orders.

Seeing the respect and awe that Zhu Changling, Wu Lie, and the others showed towards Xu Qing, Zhang Wuji finally couldn't help but look at Xu Qing and ask after they had all left:
"Brother Xu, are you really an immortal?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing chuckled twice, realizing that even this silly boy thought he was an immortal.

He shook his head: "There are no immortals in this world."

"Then flying through the air..." Zhang Wuji asked curiously.

"That's just a power that develops when martial arts are practiced to a high level; it's nothing special."

Xu Qing explained with a faint smile that his current level was hardly that of an immortal.

It's just that the means they possess far surpass those of ordinary people.

Zhang Wuji was deeply moved, his face full of admiration, and he said:

"Brother Xu looks much younger than me, yet he has mastered martial arts to a level that is difficult for anyone in the world to match."

I am truly impressed!

His words were utterly sincere; they weren't flattery of Xu Qing, but rather his most genuine thoughts.

Xu Qing smiled slightly, glanced at Zhang Wuji, and said, "Young? I'm much older than you think."

"What?!" Zhang Wuji was stunned.

"What do you mean by that, Brother Xu?"

What do you mean by "older than I imagined"?

Could it be that Xu Qing's current appearance is a disguise?
Or perhaps it's because he practices some special martial art that he appears so young?

Many guesses arose in Zhang Wuji's mind.

"You don't need to worry about this." Xu Qing didn't explain further.

Zhang Wuji nodded, but his eyes were full of curiosity as he looked at Xu Qing.

He felt that Xu Qing was shrouded in mystery, making him difficult to understand and incredibly enigmatic.

Moreover, their strength is extremely profound, and it's unknown what level they've reached.

"I promised to teach you how to control your inner energy, so study hard."

Xu Qing had a good impression of Zhang Wuji. He was a simple and kind-hearted young man who was also very polite, had a clear sense of right and wrong, and was broad-minded.

Aside from being indecisive, he doesn't have many other flaws.

With his exceptional comprehension, if properly nurtured, he would undoubtedly become a top-tier combatant.

Xu Qing was keen to recruit this kid into his ranks.

Since coming into this world, I have witnessed the status of the Han people and learned of the tyranny and cruelty of the Yuan Dynasty.

Xu Qing then conceived the idea of rebelling against the Yuan dynasty and wanting to rebuild a Han Chinese dynasty.

This is something that he could not accomplish alone.

This requires the help of a large group of people.

The Ming Cult was Xu Qing's first choice.

The Ming Cult is currently the strongest force among the anti-Yuan forces, possessing a military strength of hundreds of thousands.

Moreover, with many famous generals under his command, Xu Qing's cause of restoring the Han dynasty would be much easier.

At the same time, high-end combat capabilities are also extremely important.

Zhang Wuji is highly talented, has strong comprehension, and possesses the Nine Yang Divine Skill. If he could be recruited and properly trained, he would definitely be able to play a great role.

"Yes, thank you, Brother Xu!"

Zhang Wuji was unaware of Xu Qing's inner thoughts, only that Xu Qing was an excellent person and kept his word.

He listened attentively to Xu Qing's explanation of the knowledge of true qi circulation, and even tried it out as he listened.

Several hours later, Zhang Wuji freely used the Nine Yang True Qi in the main hall to practice a set of fist techniques.

Xu Qing watched this scene quietly, her eyes gleaming.

Zhang Wuji's comprehension was far superior to that of his eldest disciple, Linghu Chong, who was known for his saga of martial arts.

Within a short period of time, he was able to use his Nine Yang True Qi with ease and skill.

This level of understanding is something even the original Xu Qing couldn't match.

"Stop. Your Nine Yang Divine Skill is not yet fully mastered. Excessive use of your inner energy could lead to exhaustion and death."

Seeing Zhang Wuji's true energy surging more and more, and him unleashing the full power of his fist technique, Xu Qing was immersed in the joy of mastering the use of true energy and could not extricate himself.

Then I reminded him.

Before the Nine Yang Divine Skill is fully mastered, true qi cannot circulate and generate itself; it will only decrease with use.

If one overexerts oneself, death is not far off. The previous monk, Jueyuan, who cultivated the Nine Yang Divine Skill, died for this very reason.

Zhang Wuji was jolted awake from his joy and realized that most of his internal energy had been used up, so he quickly stopped practicing.

He was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat. He had spent five years studying the Nine Yang Manual.

Zhang Wuji was naturally aware of this flaw in the Nine Yang Divine Skill.

Thank goodness, if Brother Xu hadn't reminded me, something terrible would have happened.

"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Xu!"

Zhang Wuji wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly thanked him.

Xu Qing waved his hand, smiled faintly at Zhang Wuji, and said, "Your Nine Yang Divine Skill is the number one divine skill in the world. It is extremely difficult to master it."

“I am aware of the difficulties involved in this matter,” Zhang Wuji nodded.

Mastering any martial art is incredibly difficult.

Moreover, it would be almost impossible for him to master the Nine Yang Divine Skill on his own.

"Would you be willing to become my disciple? If you become my apprentice, it will no longer be difficult for you to master the Nine Yang Divine Skill."

Xu Qing got straight to the point and asked directly.

Zhang Wuji was stunned. He hadn't expected Xu Qing to want to take him as a disciple.

"What? You think I'm not qualified to be your master?"

Seeing that Zhang Wuji remained silent, Xu Qing narrowed his eyes slightly and asked with a smile.

“No…no, Brother Xu’s martial arts are unfathomable, and his strength far surpasses mine. He is naturally qualified to be my master.” Zhang Wuji quickly shook his head.

"But my father is Zhang Cuishan of the Wudang Sect, and I am already a disciple of the Wudang Sect. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to join another sect."

Zhang Wuji explained that, according to the rules of the martial arts world, once a person has joined a sect, they cannot take another person as their master.

He can only join a new sect if he leaves the Wudang Sect.

"This matter is not important. You can still be a Wudang disciple if you become my disciple."

Xu Qing waved his hand, showing that he had no such sectarian bias.

It is enough if the disciples are loyal and respectful to their teachers.

The rest of the details are not a big deal.

"In that case, Zhang Wuji is willing to become your disciple!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wuji stopped hesitating and directly expressed his opinion.

Xu Qing had previously mentioned that he was much older than him.

Moreover, he did indeed feel that Xu Qing's tone of voice was completely different from that of a young person of this age, and was extremely mature.

It is clear that the other person is extremely old.

Zhang Wuji attributed Xu Qing's youthful appearance to his superior martial arts skills.

"Okay!" Xu Qing nodded in satisfaction.

Seeing this, Zhang Wuji didn't hesitate at all. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed forcefully to Xu Qing, respectfully saying:
"Disciple pays homage to Master!"

Xu Qing reached out and helped Zhang Wuji up, his smile deepening. He said, "Good disciple, get up."

Having successfully recruited Zhang Wuji, this trip to Zhu Wu Lianhuan Manor has been very fruitful.

"Master, may I ask how old you really are?"

Now that Zhang Wuji is Xu Qing's disciple, their relationship has become even closer, so he took the opportunity to ask about the things that had been bothering him.

Along the way, he was genuinely curious about Xu Qing's age.

She looks so young.

Xu Qing chuckled and shook his head, not expecting Zhang Wuji to be so curious about his age.

In the end, he's just a twenty-year-old young man.

"I won't go into the specifics of my age, but you only need to know that I am older than your Wudang Grandmaster."

Upon hearing Xu Qing's words, Zhang Wuji's expression immediately changed.

He gasped, his face filled with shock and disbelief.

My master is so old!

You should know that his great-grandfather is now over a hundred years old.

The new master I've taken in is even bigger!

Unbelievable!

It’s incredible!
