Borrowing a sword

Chapter 21 Touching, all he knows is touching.
The two simple words made Han Shuangjiang's breath catch in her throat.

It rained heavily last night, but today is a beautiful day.

The sky was clear and the sun shone brightly.

The fox-faced man, facing the light, calmly gave her the answer, and then grinned at her.

The world's protagonist, who was still in the "newbie protection period," felt his body tense up slightly.

"He killed people when he was just an ordinary person?"

The emotional impact of this is far greater than that of a practitioner committing murder!
Her heart began to pound faster beneath her swollen breasts.

So much so that, in a daze, Han Shuangjiang didn't even realize that Chu Huaixu had continued walking forward.

"What are you standing there for? Come on!" he shouted.

The cold-faced girl pursed her lips, her body instinctively quickening its pace to follow, appearing quite compliant.

Realizing this, she quickly slowed down.

Chu Huaixu glanced at it out of the corner of his eye and couldn't help but smile.

Yaoshan is one of the three peaks of the outer sect, and it can be roughly divided into three areas.

It can be roughly understood as: the medicine area, the residential area, and the commercial area for daily life services.

Within the outer sect, senior disciples will teach martial arts to ordinary people.

Initially, the outer sect library set up four magic arrays to select the best cultivators in the Qi Refining stage and provide them with high-quality cultivation techniques.

This isn't because the Daoist school is stingy or unwilling to share good things with everyone.

It's simply because the higher the level of the technique, the greater the difficulty. If you don't have the aptitude, forcing yourself to learn it will only delay your progress.

But who would have thought that where there's a policy, there's a countermeasure?

A small number of people realized that mortal martial arts were not without merit, as they could enable the physical body to exert greater power, which would be beneficial in breaking through magic arrays!

The swirling dogs of the Xuanhuang Realm immediately sprang into action.

At first, nobody practiced this low-level stuff.

As this trend gradually gained momentum and persisted despite repeated attempts to stop it, it eventually forced the library to upgrade the magic array, increasing its difficulty!
Since the vast majority of people learn martial arts for ordinary people, the initial standards cannot be effectively used for selection.

What can you do if someone says they learned martial arts before going up the mountain?
Alright, alright, let's just consider it as letting the disciples build a foundation with mortal martial arts before formally learning [magic arts].

As time went by, a martial arts industry chain was formed, which in turn increased tax revenue.

Chu Huaixu led Han Shuangjiang, asking around along the way, and soon arrived at a courtyard.

"Why are so many people recommending learning from this Senior Brother Liu?" he wondered, somewhat puzzled.

Is its reputation really that good?
Han Shuangjiang, this cold-faced girl, was like a little housekeeper, constantly comparing prices and asking about prices along the way.

Little did they know that the current market for external products has long since moved beyond the stage of fierce price wars and infighting.

Nowadays, the prices for learning martial arts are all pretty much the same.

Chu Huaixu had told her this from the beginning, telling her not to waste time comparing, but she still didn't believe him.

Even now that he's right, she still mutters to herself, "So expensive! How can it be so expensive!"

Upon entering the courtyard, Chu Huaixu called out loudly, "Senior Brother Liu! Is Senior Brother Liu here?"

The door opened quickly, and a somewhat handsome man walked out.

He was wearing a white robe with fine gold thread detailing on the sleeves and collar.

At first glance, it's made of the finest fabric.

Given the exorbitant prices outside the gates, this outfit alone would cost a fortune.

"Is his business really that good? Is he making a fortune?" Chu Huaixu thought to himself.

The young master-like disciple surnamed Liu was slightly taken aback after seeing the two men's appearances.

The man was tall and handsome, and the woman, even through her veil, seemed to be a beauty.

Although their clothes were quite ordinary and not expensive, their unique temperament was immediately apparent.

Based on the principle of opposites attracting, his attention was focused more on Han Shuangjiang.

There's nothing we can do about it; she gives off a cold, aloof vibe, yet she has a stunning figure.

Although her chest wasn't as voluptuous as Elder Nangong's, and it wasn't exactly a spectacular sight, it was still quite full and clearly well-endowed, unlike anything ordinary people could have.

Her slender waist, which could be encircled by one hand, further accentuated the alluring curves of her hips and thighs.

Beneath her plump hips were a pair of remarkably long and slender legs.

As it gracefully walked forward, its movements were elegant and graceful, like lotus blossoms blooming with every step, captivating the heart and soul.

The colder and more aloof she is, the more she can ignite the conquering desires of some men, who want to see her completely transformed into a captivating beauty.

The disciple named Liu Chengqi couldn't help but sniff the air, as if he could smell a fragrance. Upon seeing Han Shuangjiang, he immediately understood why the two had come to his courtyard, and he felt that there were more and more sensible people in Medicine Mountain.

"Junior brothers and sisters, you look unfamiliar. You must have been introduced by someone, right?" He smiled warmly.

Unfortunately, comparing goods is a recipe for disaster, and comparing people is a recipe for misery.

Standing in front of Chu Huaixu, who ranked second on the "Must-Eat for Accompanying Players" list, Liu Chengqi's insignificant good looks were hardly enough to impress him.

"Senior Brother Liu, we did ask some fellow disciples, and they all recommended learning martial arts from you." Chu Huaixu said this, but secretly sent him an [Information Detection] to see how capable he was.

Wow, he's actually a Six Apertures expert!
Disrespect and disrespect.

In Medicine Mountain, outer disciples who have already entered the first realm or even higher no longer bother to teach martial arts to ordinary people to make money; it's too beneath them.

As for the disciples who are almost fully awakened, they will not waste their precious time. They are all busy with breakthroughs, as if they are preparing for the college entrance examination, and they have no time to be private tutors.

Therefore, at most, those who teach martial arts only have six or seven skills.

The only thing that made Chu Huaixu feel uneasy was that, in the basic information displayed by the system, this Senior Brother Liu's status was: Spiritual Embryo (damaged).

"Wow, looks like he has a story to tell," he thought to himself.

Liu Chengqi smiled and took two steps forward, his voice gentle and carrying the legendary bubble tone: "Was it recommended by someone else? That's all flattery from my fellow disciples."

“Junior brothers and sisters, my surname is Liu, Liu Chengqi. You can call me Senior Brother Liu.”

"My best martial art is the 'Eight Trigrams Palm of Heaven and Earth,' which is taught in one-hour sessions and costs 10 taels of silver per person."

At this point, he glanced at the icy beauty with her delicate brows furrowed, then suddenly changed the subject, saying, "However, teaching one person is the same as teaching two. Junior brother, if you pay ten taels of silver, I'll teach you both of you in the first lesson, one by one."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the icy beauty's brows indeed relaxed.

Upon hearing this, Chu Huaixu could only think, "The 'Eight Trigrams Palm of Heaven and Earth'? Never heard of it."

However, the martial arts of mortals are similar to those of the Qi Refining stage, and their names are all incredibly domineering.

While he was making inquiries outside, he heard that there were people teaching things like "Heaven and Earth One-Slash Slash" and "Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger," which sounded like some kind of Heaven-level [spell] to those who didn't know better!

However, he hadn't expected Liu Chengqi to use the "buy one get one free" tactic.

More importantly, there's something wrong with your wording.

"Why should I pay ten taels, instead of five taels each?"

Although he did pay for it, it just doesn't feel right; it sounds a bit like he's using someone else's money to pay for something else's.

Or did he misjudge my relationship with Han Shuangjiang and give me an opportunity to curry favor with him?
Regardless, saving money is definitely a good thing.

Chu Huaixu immediately paid ten taels of silver, wanting to see this "Jili Gulu Bagua Palm".

Liu Chengqi gave a brief introduction to the martial art and then began to demonstrate it.

He fought his way up from the first move to the ninth move.

This set of martial arts for ordinary people is indeed quite powerful; it can be considered a top-tier martial art.

Most importantly, this martial arts style looks very cool, elegant and graceful.

After the demonstration, Liu Chengqi began to teach the first move – Eight Desolate Dragons!
He said he would teach step by step, and he really did.

"Junior brother, this place needs to sink a bit more."

"Yes, and we need to go up here."

He would press on Chu Huaixu's waist for a while, and lift his arm for a while.
In addition, he explained all the tricks of the trade in great detail.

Since it was just a martial arts technique, Chu Huaixu immediately heard a system notification: "[Ding! Liu Chengqi is teaching you the first move of the martial art 'Baguazhang'. Do you wish to learn it?]"

"Yes." The ten taels of silver were well spent.

After learning it, Chu Huaixu originally planned to show off his skills once, to open their eyes and to show off his martial arts genius.

Unexpectedly, Liu Chengqi ignored him and said, "Junior Brother Chu, you should digest this on your own first. I'll explain it to Junior Sister Han again."

At this very moment, the cold-faced girl was earnestly imitating her.

As she unleashed this less-than-perfect Eight Desolate Dragon Dance, her body curves fully unfolded, and from the side, her plump, full buttocks made her robes bulge.

A breeze swept by, lifting a corner of the veil to reveal her bright red, delicate lips, which were tightly pursed.

Liu Chengqi was wavering, but he was a man of his word.

I said I'd teach you both step by step, and I will!
He had already made his move on Chu Huaixu, so now it was this beauty's turn.

"Junior sister, [Eight Desolate Dragons] isn't like this. Your waist needs to be heavier." Liu Chengqi still had a gentle smile on his face as he reached out his large hand to touch her waist.

Han Shuangjiang listened very attentively and didn't immediately react.

"Tsk! Why are you getting handsy?" A voice came from beside him as a large hand gripped Liu Chengqi's wrist tightly.
