After Ye Qiu comprehended the Thirteen Forms of Taiji, his heart was filled with shock.
Each form of the Thirteen Forms of Taiji was profound and intricate.
Moreover, these mere thirteen forms could evolve into hundreds of fist techniques.
They could be used for attack, defence, and even self-cultivation.
Endlessly mysterious!
“Immortal Zhang, who created such an extraordinary fist technique, truly deserves to be a legendary figure.”
“I wonder when I’ll be able to create my own technique?”
“I hope that day comes soon.”
Ye Qiu secretly resolved that, if given the chance, he would create an unparalleled technique like Immortal Zhang, to be passed down through the ages.
A while later, Ye Qiu sat cross-legged on the ground, mentally reviewing the complete Thirteen Forms of Taiji.
Soon, Ye Qiu furrowed his brows.
“I’ve clearly mastered the Thirteen Forms of Taiji, but for some reason, it feels like something’s missing?”
Ye Qiu found it strange. With his current cultivation, the power unleashed by the Thirteen Forms of Taiji was only comparable to the Killing Technique.
He vaguely felt that, although he had learned the fist technique, he hadn’t brought out the essence of the Thirteen Forms of Taiji.
“If I could grasp the essence of the Thirteen Forms of Taiji, its power should rival the Grass Character Sword Technique.”
“But what exactly is the essence of the Thirteen Forms of Taiji?”
Ye Qiu’s brows knitted tightly as he sank into deep thought.
Not far away, Immortal Chongxu saw Ye Qiu sitting back down and couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
“He’s already comprehended the complete fist technique, so why is he sitting there again?”
“What is he trying to do?”
Shang Zhen said, “Master, could it be that Sect Leader Ye encountered some problem while practising the Thirteen Forms of Taiji?”
Immortal Chongxu shook his head, “With his martial arts talent, what problem could he have?”
After waiting another ten minutes, Ye Qiu finally stood up.
Despite racking his brain, Ye Qiu couldn’t figure out the essence of the Thirteen Forms of Taiji and eventually gave up.
“It seems my opportunity hasn’t come yet.”
“It’s a pity I can’t stay at Wudang. If I could remain here for a year or two, I might figure it out.”
“But this trip to Wudang has been quite fruitful, I should be satisfied.”
Ye Qiu turned around.
Xiao Yiren, lifting her skirt, ran up to him.
“Dr. Ye, you’re amazing, your fists are like grenades.”
Her beautiful eyes sparkled with admiration.
Ye Qiu glanced around, noticing several deep pits, all created when he practised the Thirteen Forms of Taiji earlier.
He softly asked, “I was so focused on practising that I didn’t realise I caused such a commotion. I didn’t scare you, did I?”
“No,” Xiao Yiren smiled, “because I know Dr. Ye would never hurt me.”
That’s not necessarily true.
Who knows, one day I might give you an injection.
Just as Ye Qiu thought this, he saw Immortal Chongxu and his disciples approaching.
“This old schemer, he’s not going to demand compensation, is he?”
Ye Qiu wondered to himself.
As expected, when Immortal Chongxu reached Ye Qiu, he began to press him, his face stern, “The Scripture Pavilion is a sacred place for Wudang. Sect Leader Ye, you’ve damaged it like this, shouldn’t you give me an explanation?”
Ye Qiu countered, “What kind of explanation does Senior want?”
“Compensation! You must compensate!” Immortal Chongxu said, “As long as Sect Leader Ye reveals…”
“Compensation, right? Fine.” Before Immortal Chongxu could finish, Ye Qiu pulled out his wallet, took out a red banknote, handed it to him, and asked, “Is this enough?”
You think I’m a beggar?
Immortal Chongxu’s face turned green instantly.
“Not enough? I have more.” Ye Qiu pulled out two more red banknotes and handed them over, “This should be enough, right?”
Enough my foot.
Immortal Chongxu knew Ye Qiu was deliberately teasing him. Suppressing his anger, he said, “Sect Leader Ye, as long as you reveal the cultivation method for the Cloud Ladder Technique and the manual for the Thirteen Forms of Taiji, I won’t hold this against you.”
“And if I don’t?” Ye Qiu asked.
“You won’t?” Immortal Chongxu’s face darkened, “Sect Leader Ye, think carefully. If you don’t speak, I won’t let you leave Wudang.”
“Senior wants to keep me here?” Ye Qiu chuckled, “Why don’t you try and see if you can keep me?”
“I’ve only just mastered the Cloud Ladder Technique and the Thirteen Forms of Taiji. I was looking for a chance to test their power.”
“Senior, please, go ahead!”
Seeing Ye Qiu’s firm stance, Immortal Shang Ling quickly smiled and said, “Sect Leader Ye, don’t be angry.”
“Master was just joking with you.”
“Don’t take it seriously!”
Immortal Chongxu feigned anger, “Sect Leader Ye, I was joking, and you took it seriously? You’re too petty.”
“Indeed, I want to know the cultivation method for the Cloud Ladder Technique and the manual for the Thirteen Forms of Taiji, but as the leader of a sect, how could I forcibly detain you?”
“Such despicable behaviour is beneath me.”
At this point, Immortal Chongxu winked at Immortal Shang Ling.
Understanding, Immortal Shang Ling immediately handed a long rosewood box to Ye Qiu, saying, “Sect Leader Ye, please accept this.”
“What is it?” Ye Qiu asked.
Immortal Shang Ling replied, “This is a gift from Master.”
“Oh?” Ye Qiu glanced at Immortal Chongxu. Offering a gift for no reason, what’s this old schemer up to?
Immortal Chongxu smiled, “Sect Leader Ye, open it and see. I guarantee you’ll like it.”
Ye Qiu opened the box.
Instantly, a rich medicinal fragrance filled his nose.
Ye Qiu’s eyes lit up.
Inside the box lay a He Shou Wu.
This He Shou Wu was over a metre long, dark brown, thick and robust like a cow’s hoof.
Moreover, it was covered in intricate patterns, looking extraordinary.
“A thousand-year-old He Shou Wu!”
Ye Qiu was stunned.
Immortal Chongxu, stroking his beard, smiled and asked, “Sect Leader Ye, do you like it?”
“I do,” Ye Qiu was thrilled. With this thousand-year-old He Shou Wu, he could treat Su Luoying’s Nine Yin Terminal Meridian.
Immortal Chongxu said, “This thousand-year-old spiritual herb was personally dug up by our founder, Immortal Zhang, and is extremely rare.”
“It’s been in Wudang for centuries and, like the Thirteen Forms of Taiji, is one of Wudang’s treasures.”
“Since Sect Leader Ye likes it, I’ll give it to you.”
Ye Qiu knew why Immortal Chongxu was giving him this gift and smiled, “Senior is so generous. If I refuse, it would be ungracious.”
“I’ll accept this thousand-year-old He Shou Wu, and I’ll never forget Senior’s kindness.”
“Yiren, let’s go.”
With that, Ye Qiu took Xiao Yiren and left.
Immortal Chongxu was dumbfounded.
This kid isn’t playing by the rules!
