System: I Can Open Martial Arts Chests

Chapter 442: Chapter 252: Night Talk (Part 2)

Could it be that he stole the Martial Arts Secret of the Mo Family’s Grandmaster?

"This was given to me by my master before I descended the mountain.

"She said, ’Under heaven, the sun and moon shine bright, and they are the greatest.’

"In the past, our founder created this Sword Technique, implying that it is the strongest sword under heaven.

"However, this Sword Technique requires two people to practice together...

"Yet over the years, it seems no one has succeeded in mastering this Martial Arts."

Chu Qing was a bit surprised, he flicked his finger and used Inner Strength from the Warm Jade Lineage to light up the lamp in the room.

With the light, he opened to the middle of the text, initially without much care, but the more he read, the more startled he became.

While called a Sword Technique, this Martial Arts is not solely a Sword Technique, but a path of harmonizing Yin and Yang.

According to the Secret Manual, the two people cultivating this [Celestial Bright Swordsmanship] should be ones who have respectively inherited the [Great Sun Profound Skill] and [Moon-Pointing Profound Skill].

One represents Yang, the other represents Yin, not practicing in bed, but exchanging cultivated Inner Strength through the Vital Point in each other’s palms, harmonizing the Yin and Yang Qi, preventing solitary Yin from growing and solitary Yang from emerging.

This interaction can duly advance their cultivation.

In this process, their Inner Breath becomes harmonious, gradually leading to mutual understanding.

This is the threshold for cultivating [Celestial Bright Swordsmanship].

Regarding the techniques of this [Celestial Bright Swordsmanship], Chu Qing couldn’t help but marvel, Master Night Tan was right.

Under heaven, the sun and moon are the greatest.

The power of this Sword Technique is indeed extraordinary.

If the records in the Secret Manual are entirely true, then once mastered, it would have the power to astonish the world!

However, after reading the manual, a question surfaced in Chu Qing’s mind:

"This is indeed a secret within your sect.

"Logically, it should be cultivated by you and your senior brother.

"But since there isn’t personal affection between the two of you, practicing this Martial Arts, due to the ebb and flow of Yin and Yang Qi, requires disrobing, which naturally means you couldn’t practice it.

"Master Night Tan asked you to practice this Martial Arts with me because of this.

"But... I recall the rumors saying your master and your uncle had mutual feelings in their youth, so why didn’t they practice this Martial Arts?"

Now, as the two elders have grown old, there might be reasons for their separation unknown to us.

Yet despite their youthful affection, they never practiced this Secret Technique, which seems rather strange.

"My master never told me this..."

Wu Qianhuan shook her head:

"But the relationship between my master and uncle has always been peculiar, I feel that the rumors in the Martial World may not all be untrue.

"However, as a disciple, I shouldn’t rashly discuss the affairs of elders.

"Additionally, you shouldn’t focus only on the harmonizing path of Yin and Yang ahead... You haven’t learned the [Great Sun Profound Skill], without the Pure Yang Inner Power, we can’t practice those...

"You should mainly look at the Sword Technique behind, with your Martial Arts attainment, you should find something to draw from.

"So that our Sword Techniques may reach a higher level."

Chu Qing rubbed his chin:

"Although I haven’t practiced the [Great Sun Profound Skill], who says I don’t have Pure Yang Inner Power within?"

"Huh?"

Wu Qianhuan was taken aback:

"But hasn’t your Inner Power always been of the Cold Jade attribute? My [Moon-Pointing Profound Skill] follows the Pure Yin Lineage, and you too... You and I harmonizing Yin and Yin might lead to deviation."

"Indeed, my Inner Power follows the Pure Yin Lineage, but also the Pure Yang Path.

"It’s just not revealed to others."

Chu Qing smiled slightly, flipping his palm, one reddened as fire, while the other flipped open, icy cold within.

Wu Qianhuan stared in amazement:

"This... What Martial Arts is this?"

"My current Inner Power is called [Nine Chapters of Divine Jade], consisting of both Yin and Yang lineages.

"It’s just that I travel the Martial World as the Third Young Master, using the Pure Yin Lineage... Pure Yang is hidden."

Chu Qing withdrew his hand:

"I reviewed this Secret Manual, with my Pure Yang Lineage cultivation, I can certainly practice it with you."

"No!"

Wu Qianhuan hurriedly shrunk back:

"Practicing this requires disrobing... Before marriage, I certainly won’t let you see!"

Chu Qing was taken aback, seemingly out of sorts.

Wu Qianhuan looked at him for a long time without speaking, feeling her words seemed to have hit him, she thought for a moment and edged closer, grasping Chu Qing’s wrist and said:

"Do you really want to see? If you insist, I, I will give you..."

"... No."

Chu Qing waved his hand:

"I was just thinking, if back then your master and uncle had the same intention to wait until marriage to cultivate this Martial Arts, it might be plausible.

"But before their marriage, something else might have happened..."

"What sort of event?"

"For instance, your master fell for someone else?"

"That couldn’t be possible!"

"Then it could be your uncle..."

"This, this... Celestial Nether Uncle’s Buddhist Technique is profound, seems unlikely to be a person who would fall for someone else."

Wu Qianhuan rubbed her nose:

"Could it be he really fell for someone else, betraying my master? Hence, they parted, one becoming a monk, one a nun?

"Gu Yue Mountain and Thousand Sun Mountain aren’t far, yet they never meet...

"You don’t know, even when Senior Brother Zuo came to play, my master didn’t allow it.

"Said Celestial Nether Uncle wasn’t a good... a good person, his disciples aren’t good either, told me to stay away from them...

"That’s why all these years, I’ve never been to Thousand Sun Mountain."

As the two talked, they both felt something indeed happened between the two elders back then.

For a moment, there was a slight excitement in discovering the elders’ gossip secrets.

Yet after this excitement, Chu Qing suddenly recalled:

"By the way, what did you say earlier?"

"That my master said Celestial Nether Uncle wasn’t a good person..."

"No, before that, what did you say you would give me?"

Wu Qianhuan’s face turned bright red, gritting her teeth, she pushed Chu Qing away:

"You’re not allowed to say, not allowed to think, not allowed to remember, forget it all."

"Wronged, since you didn’t say what you’d give me, how can I say, remember?"

Chu Qing glanced at her, half smiling, noticing her flushed face, looking increasingly charming.

As her eyes teared up, it made one want to let loose their wild nature even more.

Chu Qing quickly took a deep breath, feeling like he shouldn’t continue...

Alone together, burning with desire, already with a marriage promise, if things went further, they might not wait for a bridal chamber.

Chu Qing promptly took another deep breath but didn’t stand up.

Wu Qianhuan wanted to continue ’fighting’, but Chu Qing held her hand down:

"Don’t make a fuss, let me calm down... I’ll then go rest."

"Calm down?"

Although Wu Qianhuan was bashful, she remained bewildered:

"Calm what?"

"You don’t understand..."

"How can I understand if you don’t explain?"

"If I dare to tell, do you dare to listen?"

Chu Qing raised his eyebrows, looking at Wu Qianhuan as if looking at a daredevil unafraid of danger.

Though naturally competitive, Wu Qianhuan had some intuition.

Gazing at Chu Qing, her eyes gradually paused at his face, lingering to his chest, and then lower... her expression suddenly became odd.

A blend of shyness, a touch of pride, and a hint of schadenfreude:

"Got what you deserved for teasing me."

"If I were truly teasing you, I’d be anywhere but sitting here."

Chu Qing reached out to pinch her nose, Inner Breath of Cold Jade Lineage made a turn within, clearing his mind instantly.

Subsequently, he became calm, exhaling slowly:

"Sleep early... I shall leave."

Watching Chu Qing stand up without anything unusual, Wu Qianhuan didn’t know whether to feel regret or relief.

Only after Chu Qing left the room, she quietly cursed:

"Little rascal."

Then she collapsed onto the bed, hugging her quilt, thinking of something, and started to laugh dreamily.

What she hadn’t finished saying earlier was that she never thought she could develop any romantic feelings with Chu Qing.

Yet, when he left Celestial Dance City, and after their rendezvous in the pavilion, she suddenly felt emotions bloom.
