Wuxia: An Immortal Taught Me Scientific Martial Arts Training

Chapter 54 The Ghost Street Owner Invites You

"This is?!"

"The Three Yang Immortal?"

Su Ting from the Medicine King Association looked up and saw the old Taoist priest, then immediately clasped his hands and bowed.

"Senior, this junior dares not. Our Medicine King Society will simply not accept this item."

"snort!"

The old Taoist priest snorted coldly.

"If you hadn't been bullying others, I wouldn't have bothered with you. Your guild leader, Shan, has a far-reaching reputation for chivalry, making the Medicine King Guild's name so famous. And you, you bastard, have done something so self-destructive."

"I was wrong, Master. You are right to teach me a lesson."

"Damn it, I broke my vow."

Master Sanyang patted his mouth, as if punishing himself for speaking such vulgarities.

He looked in Qu Lingyan's direction, his gaze met Xiao Xuan's, and he paused immediately.

"hiss..."

Then the old Taoist shook his head and said to Qu Lingyan:

"Little girl! If that bastard named Su Ting threatens you again in the future, come find me at the Xianxia Sect, and this old Taoist will kill him for you!"

After saying this, Master Sanyang looked around, flicked his sleeve, and disappeared from the spot.

"What's going on?"

Xiao Xuan trembled slightly. He had just tried to use his ability to check the information of this Sanyang Zhenren, but it was as if he had hit a wall and his consciousness was bounced back.

Legend has it that the Xianxia Sect has three powerful figures who have transcended the nine realms: the current sect leader, Abbess Qingxia; the former sect leader, Emei Daoist; and the third, True Man Sanyang.

According to Deng Fei's research in "Scientific Martial Arts Training Methods", martial artists above the grandmaster level no longer confine their true qi to their bodies; it can circulate invisibly outside the body, forming protective qi.

Perhaps that's why I can't see through it.

After all, when one's true energy is weak, one cannot successfully use one's abilities.

"I'm still not strong enough."

Xiao Xuan shook his head. It seemed he still needed to detoxify as soon as possible, obtain the elixir, and begin scientific martial arts training.

After the minor incident, Qu Lingyan successfully photographed the gentian plant.

The auction was drawing to a close when a guard approached their table.

"Gentlemen, the items you have bid on can now be traded."

Xiao Xuan and Qu Lingyan exchanged a glance, then got up and followed the man upstairs.

Upon reaching the fourth floor, a large crowd had already gathered, all of whom were the winners of the auction items.

The two held up their number plates and exchanged money for goods. Xiao Xuan obtained the incomplete manual of the Sighing Technique, while Qu Lingyan got the gentian grass as she wished.

Just then, a man dressed in black, wearing a hood and with two gold rings on his hands walked over and stopped in front of Xiao Xuan.

"Hello, guest. My host invites you in."

Xiao Xuan was taken aback and immediately used his ability to check the identity of the person who came.

【Ancient Continent People (Seven Realms)】

[A wandering swordsman, a guard on Hangzhou's Ghost Street]

[On behalf of Shangguan Tong, I extend an invitation to the person who won the bid for the incomplete scroll of the Sighing Skill.]

"Is your master Senior Shangguan Tong?"

"Yes."

The ancient man answered calmly and gestured for them to proceed.

Qu Lingyan was about to speak when the ancient Lu man interrupted, "Excuse me, sir, my master only invited this young hero."

"you."

Qu Lingyan rolled her eyes at him. Although Xiao Xuan didn't understand why Shangguan Tong wanted to see him, he still said to Qu Lingyan:

"Don't leave the tower yet, wait for me to come back."

Qu Lingyan nodded, and Xiao Xuan followed in the footsteps of the ancient Lu people.

The two arrived at the seventh floor of the tower, where the ancient Lu people led them to a door and knocked on it.

"Master, the person has been brought."

"Please come in."

A strong, resonant voice came from inside the room.

The ancient Lu people pushed open the door, and after Xiao Xuan entered, they closed the door and stood guard outside.

Xiao Xuan looked around. There were many shelves in the room, all displaying rare treasures.

Weapons, jade, paintings, and even heavy armor listed as contraband by the imperial court.

Across from Xiao Xuan, a middle-aged man sat at a tea table, pouring a cup of tea with his hand adorned with a jade thumb ring.

"I didn't expect you to be so young."

Shangguan Tong spoke with a smile.

"The senior is younger than I imagined."

Xiao Xuan was not flattering him. Shangguan Tong was tall and dignified. Although he had a few strands of white hair, he did not look old. Instead, he looked like a general.

"Please sit down."

Shangguan Tong gestured for Xiao Xuan to sit down, and Xiao Xuan accepted the teacup with both hands, took a sip, and then got straight to the point.

"I wonder what business you have with me, senior? Is it related to that secret manual?"

"That's right."

Shangguan Tong's eyes lit up, and he poured tea for Xiao Xuan again.

"Tell me, do you recognize that nameless manual?"

Xiao Xuan hesitated for a moment. Shangguan Tong was the strongest among the nine realms, and it was said that he was only one step away from breaking through.

If he could have sensed that I was releasing my true energy at him, just like the Three Yang Immortal, he might not have been speaking kindly to me at that moment.

"Alright, since you asked, senior, I will tell you the truth. I did recognize this technique, which is why I took a picture of it and wanted to try practicing it."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Tong beamed with joy.

"Great! Do you know what this skill is called?"

"Uh... the Sighing Technique?"

"Hahaha." Shangguan Tong laughed heartily a few times. "If it were incomplete, this skill would indeed only evoke sighs of regret. In fact, this skill is called 'Fetal Breathing Skill'."

"Fetal breathing exercise?"

"Exactly."

Shangguan Tong looked at Xiao Xuan as if he had found a priceless treasure.

"I see your inner energy is gentle and balanced, so you must have studied Taoist cultivation methods, right? Which school or sect do you belong to?"

"This junior dares not say that he comes from the Tianshan Sect, but only that he carries some of the Tianshan Sect's heritage."

Shangguan Tong's eyes swept over Xiao Xuan, then he shook his head.

"Unfortunately, the Tianshan Sect is long gone. Your skills are not even the tip of the iceberg of Tianshan martial arts. You can only be considered a rogue."

After saying this, Shangguan Tong stood up, and Xiao Xuan also stood up when he saw this.

"Did you just see the Three Yang Immortals?"

Xiao Xuan nodded in agreement, and Shangguan Hong continued:

"The Xianxia Sect has dozens of martial arts passed down by its founder. The seven major sects combined have over a hundred different martial arts techniques, but they are unwilling to pass on even one of them to outsiders."

As Xiao Xuan listened, he recalled what had just happened: the Beggar Clan disciples had caused a scene at the auction over an ordinary book called "Broom Kick Technique".

"What you mean, senior, is that the Fetal Breathing Technique is not a martial art of the Seven Great Schools."

"That's right."

Shangguan Tong's tone was somewhat resentful.

Do you know why the Tianshan Sect was destroyed?

Xiao Xuan's body trembled slightly as he stared intently at Shangguan Tong.

"Please inform me, senior."

According to the first owner of Ghost Street, it was Emperor Taizu who, in order to promote the martial arts he created, supported the Seven Great Schools and wiped out those schools with hundreds of years of tradition.

"this..."

Xiao Xuan had also made this guess before, but after hearing it from his own ears, he was somewhat unwilling to accept it.

Why?

Shangguan Tong sneered, "Because your Tianshan Sect's Tianshan Profound Skill is no weaker than his Three Yang True Man's Nine Yang Divine Skill!"
