System: I Can Open Martial Arts Chests

Chapter 450: Chapter 256: Expert!? (2)

Before anyone could speak, Chu Qing had already swept his sleeve and walked out of the room.

Wu Qianhuan and Gentle turned around abruptly. Gentle looked unsurprised, while Wu Qianhuan was full of astonishment:

"So fast, really?"

"...Fast or not, you’ll know when you turn around."

Chu Qing glanced at her briefly and then looked at Luo Wushuang who was running towards the courtyard:

"Has the Cyan Simurgh Stone Shadow appeared?"

"Yes, there was some unusual movement earlier, so I rushed over here. It should still be there."

Luo Wushuang was full of excitement. After speaking, he didn’t wait for Chu Qing to reply, and immediately turned around to sprint toward the Cyan Simurgh Stone Shadow’s direction.

Chu Qing stepped forward at once, grabbing Wu Qianhuan and Gentle by their sides. With a light step, he burst forward like a gust of wind, surpassing Luo Wushuang in an instant, heading straight to where the Cyan Simurgh Stone Shadow was.

That place wasn’t far from Chu Qing’s Cyan Simurgh Villa, and he didn’t bring Luo Wushuang along either.

After all, even at his swiftest, Luo Wushuang would only be a step behind him.

Arriving next to the cliff, they indeed saw on the opposite mountain wall a shadow of a Cyan Simurgh. Initially thought it would be lifelike as if projected like a movie, every detail visible.

But upon closer look, it was found that the stone wall just had a giant bird-shaped shadow.

It was impossible to tell whether it was a Cyan Simurgh or a phoenix, or perhaps just an ordinary bird...

At this moment, the wind howled around the cliff, sounding very fierce.

"Right, it’s the Cyan Simurgh Stone Shadow, it is indeed the Cyan Simurgh Stone Shadow."

Having only looked for a moment, Luo Wushuang hurriedly rushed up.

Wu Qianhuan murmured:

"It is indeed a magnificent sight, like a... giant shadow play?"

"Shadow play?"

Chu Qing thought for a bit, shaking his head. Shadow play involves a light projection, hidden people moving shadow puppets to produce action.

This is much clearer than that...

If anything, it’s just that this stone wall is big enough, the shadow is big enough, making it appear shocking.

The whole process of the Cyan Simurgh Stone Shadow did not last long.

By the time Hua Jinnian and the others arrived upon hearing it, the Cyan Simurgh Stone Shadow had already ended.

Luo Wushuang vividly described to him how magical the Cyan Simurgh Stone Shadow was, how awe-inspiring the Cyan Simurgh was.

Chu Qing twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking that this is how martial world rumors are fabricated.

Watching Hua Jinnian’s expression, unable to see the Cyan Simurgh Stone Shadow and pounding his chest in regret, Luo Wushuang’s words became even more exaggerated.

He said that the Cyan Simurgh was going to come out of the stone wall and take him flying up to immortality.

Then, unwilling to leave his chickens and ducks behind, he stayed in the mortal realm...

Hua Jinnian listened, dumbfounded, and could not help but ask Chu Qing:

"Is it true?"

After all, he was not caught by the Supreme Wisdom Art and knew to seek his own verification.

But watching Luo Wushuang’s pitiful glance be cast at him, Chu Qing could only be noncommittal:

"Sort of..."

"But don’t they all say when one attains Dao, even their chicken and dogs ascend?"

Hua Jinnian argued with Luo Wushuang:

"You said you didn’t bring your chickens and ducks at home, let it take you to get them."

"Perhaps it’s not into that? After all, the opportunity for immortality isn’t that easy? You think you can make all these demands..."

"...I boldly guess, you’re lying to me."

"I, Luo Wushuang, walking the martial world, never lie!!"

Luo Wushuang’s chest pounded loudly.

Chu Qing secretly vouched, this kid is indeed lying, his bragging has gotten out of hand.

As for Hua Jinnian...he thought it was a reasonable guess, not daring at all.

After criticizing them in his heart, Chu Qing came to the edge of the cliff, looking down at the foot of the mountain.

"The strong wind...the shadow..."

"And light."

Wu Qianhuan’s voice came through:

"Just now, the stone wall seemed brighter than usual. It seemed as if light was shining on it."

"Projection?"

Chu Qing was thoughtful:

"So that’s how it is..."

"What?"

Wu Qianhuan asked.

Chu Qing shook his head, and seeing Wu Qianhuan’s gaze, did not ask further.

In the end, this Cyan Simurgh Stone Shadow drama ended with Hua Jinnian being half-convinced and Luo Wushuang satified.

He bid farewell, while Hua Jinnian still circled around Chu Qing, inquiring about its truthfulness.

Chu Qing firmly stated that it was all false...

Prompting Hua Jinnian to consider seeking revenge on Luo Wushuang.

In the end, he was talked down by Wuchen.

Chu Qing pondered over the fact that Wuchen had potential for being a monk akin to Tang Seng.

This man led others to good just by one word... persistence!

With his continuous talking, it became unbearable for the listener.

He dared not bother Chu Qing, but had no such courtesy for Hua Jinnian.

This was a trait Chu Qing only discovered in Wuchen after Hua Jinnian joined their group.

No more words thereafter, it was afternoon, Chu Qing was sitting in the courtyard beginning to instruct Wu Qianhuan on Sword Technique.

Actually, he didn’t know many sword techniques, just Ah Fei’s Swift Sword and Tai Chi Swordsmanship.

But these two sword techniques, one being extremely fast, and the other focusing on form and spirit.

Adding to this, his mastery of the Sword Intent from the Seven Extremes Seven Transitions Seven Injuries Sword, relying on this, along with his own cultivation, instructing Wu Qianhuan was quite simple.

During this time, he also taught Wu Qianhuan the Flying Thread and Mist Skill.

In the future, whether for traveling or in daily sparring, it would afford a lot of flexibility.

Hua Jinnian originally wanted to take revenge on Luo Wushuang, but was stopped by Wuchen, who then dragged him into a room for a long chat. Finally free, he wanted to ’audit the class’.

After being discovered and expelled by Chu Qing, he thick-skinnedly asked Chu Qing for instruction as well.

Having known each other for a while, Chu Qing didn’t entirely refuse.

As a result, this instruction lasted until dinner time... After dinner, Chu Qing silently cultivated in his room. The ’water in the spring’ in his eyes had just started to gather into a small puddle, feeling that it would take a whole day, even more, to completely fill it.

Chu Qing didn’t mind, this Exotic Studies had few places to be used.

Especially tonight, assuming it wouldn’t be needed, letting it gradually progress on its own.

Until midnight, Chu Qing put on his Night Clothes and quietly left the room, heading straight to Lan Shuyi’s residence.

Yet before arriving, he saw a figure in black heading towards him.

As the two met, the figure turned to leave.

But Chu Qing with a leap grabbed the back of the heart and casually uncovered the veil, confirming it was Lan Shuyi.

"Give it back to me!"

Lan Shuyi urgently reached out: "You can cover your face, but I can’t?"

"Recognized me?"

"At first, I didn’t recognize... Then you took me down in one move, naturally, I recognized. Although my Martial Arts aren’t that formidable, to capture me in one move takes a master at your level."

Lan Shuyi’s words carried a hint of pride.

Chu Qing also didn’t know what was there to be proud of... Grabbing hold of his shoulder instantly, he leapt, heading towards another direction of the Taiheng Sect.

Li Junmo was in seclusion deep in a mountain cave, called the ’Calm Heart Cave.’

Although the Taiheng Sect was heavily guarded, it couldn’t stop Chu Qing.

Easily passing through the guards, they swiftly arrived near the Calm Heart Cave, and at that moment, Chu Qing abruptly halted.

"What’s wrong?"

Lan Shuyi quickly inquired.

"There’s a movement..."

"No movement would be unusual."

"It’s a master."

"In Taiheng Sect..."

Lan Shuyi was about to say that Taiheng Sect was full of masters all around.

But thinking it over carefully, something felt amiss.

Saying there are masters everywhere in Taiheng Sect might impact oneself, but to Chu Qing it’s trivial.

Anyone Chu Qing labeled as a master must be someone beyond their ability to contend with.

Just about to continue speaking, Chu Qing suddenly moved, taking him behind a tree.

Using the trunk to hide their forms, Lan Shuyi suddenly felt an Inner Breath within him, suppressing his pulse.

Understanding it was Chu Qing’s doing, he wasn’t alarmed.

Glancing sideways, he saw a Taiheng Sect disciple walking slowly over.

In a daze, Lan Shuyi noticed that half of his face was actually peeled back, and as he walked, he used his hand to adjust the skin.
