Chapter 180: Chapter 123: Cultivation Greatly Advanced, Disciples Return Their Loyalty

Only the Yin key point remains unopened.

In the Dantian Earth Palace Three Acupoints, every time a point is opened, the Qi and Blood surge, and the power increases dramatically.

He roughly estimated that in this realm, opening each acupoint could increase his strength by about four thousand pounds. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Standing in the room, feeling the vast power within him and the sensation of shedding a thick layer of wet clothes, Chen Ping let out a long breath.

’Twenty-eight thousand pounds of strength, I’m becoming less and less like a human.’

He sniffed at the strange odor from his body, then looked at the pile of old skin fragments and dirt on the ground, and sighed again.

He quickly picked up a broom to clean.

He didn’t call Zuo Xiaoyuan over, instead, he fetched some water and scrubbed his body once more.

Feeling extremely comfortable all over, he slowly got up, changed his clothes, and walked out of the room.

...

At this time, the slanting sun was setting in the west.

The red sunlight shone on the martial arts field.

Everywhere was bustling and lively.

Disciples were coming and going, running and shouting.

From time to time, some people also transported various goods, big and small carts, into the warehouse.

Passing by Chen Ping, everyone would stop, bow respectfully, with a hint of admiration and fear in their eyes.

"Good day, Ninth Senior Brother."

"Thank you for your hard work," Chen Ping nodded with a smile.

He walked all the way to the martial arts field and saw Han Xiaoru pointing and commanding like a Grand General, arranging various matters without much panic.

Besides Han Xiaoru, the other six major disciples were present, including the injured senior brother Zhang Gu, who was speaking to hundreds of disciples from Changkong Martial Arts Hall.

In the distance, Han Wushang supported himself on a stand, sitting on a rattan chair, watching with Sima Rou.

Just like usual, affairs in the martial arts hall were handled by the disciples themselves.

They merely sat in oversight, providing instruction.

Now that Changkong Martial Arts Hall was searched and seized, the disciples were gathered together, and even if some wanted to escape, the Hall Master and the outstanding disciples among them had all been defeated. With their spirits gone, where could they run to?

After Han Xiaoru gathered the Primordial Martial Arts Hall disciples and explained the situation, thanks to the Primordial Martial Arts Hall’s generally kind reputation, most people did not oppose greatly.

The only concern wasn’t something else.

It was about Sword Technique.

Standing far away, looking at the nearly three hundred original Changkong Martial Arts Hall disciples with their blank yet anxious expressions, Chen Ping had a gauge in his heart.

"Senior Sister, did you get the Seven Stars Sword Manual?"

He stepped forward.

Seeing him approach, both the Primordial Martial Arts Hall disciples and the Changkong Martial Arts Hall disciples let out a soft gasp.

After the previous battle, whether present or not, these people had clearly heard of his reputation, which made things easier.

"Yes, Gao Yue and Li Yangguang, Tong Biao and others clearly never thought they would lose.

Not only was the warehouse not sealed, but also the legacy secret manuals and original sword techniques were not carried with them.

When we broke in, there wasn’t much resistance, and everything is there; we’ve made a great gain this time."

Han Xiaoru’s eyes narrowed with a smile.

Primordial Martial Arts Hall was always known for its poverty, usually teaching seven or eight direct disciples and eighty to ninety ordinary disciples, struggling to make ends meet with resources lacking in supply.

Changkong Martial Arts Hall was much wealthier.

The materials inside were not as vast as a mountain or sea, but in her view, even if the two martial arts halls combined, the total four hundred disciples could spend lavishly—it would last half a year.

The primary difficulty wasn’t really about the resources.

Rather, it was about Martial Arts.

After all, belonging to two martial arts halls, what was learned in the past was quite different.

If forcing the Changkong Martial Arts Hall disciples to switch to practicing Primordial Sword and Primordial Technique, it would essentially mean starting from scratch, which would be somewhat unjust.

Some disciples who had opened one or two of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, or opened up the Twelve Main Meridians, were already considered rather skilled in the Jianghu.

Even those who had opened two or three, five or six of the Twelve Main Meridians, asking them to abandon their cultivation and start over wasn’t something everyone was willing to do.

Years of hard work, gone in an instant.

Who could bear that?

Moreover, switching from Qi Refining to Body Refining involved immense difficulty; it’s not just a matter of deciding, and it can be cultivated.

However, fortunately, both martial arts halls originally came from the same sect, each inheriting from the Primordial Sect.

In terms of Inner Strength cultivation, Sima Rou had actually practiced the Infinite Heart Scripture, and the Taiyin Heart Scripture cultivation had reached the Twelve Main Meridians Perfection, with all Eight Extraordinary Meridians opened.

Next is one step to Innate.

She has actually reached the brink, just short of comprehending the Key Points; speaking of it, her cultivation is already quite high.

Such a First-Class Peak Level Qi Refining master, guiding disciples in practicing the Infinite Heart Scripture, is more than sufficient.

Inner Strength practice, even if there are issues, they aren’t too significant; the key still lies in the problem of Seven Stars Sword Technique.

"Don’t want the original Changkong Martial Arts Hall disciples to practice on their own?"

Chen Ping immediately recognized where the issue arose.

"Yes, if letting the original Changkong Martial Arts Hall disciples teach themselves, I’m worried..."

This concern is quite necessary.

Chen Ping glanced at the remaining dozen direct disciples of Changkong Martial Arts Hall, especially Li Yangguang, the senior disciple who was injured.

This man fought fiercely with Zhang Gu, the chief disciple of the Primordial Martial Arts Hall, resulting in mutual defeat. His strength is not weak at all, and moreover, he holds quite a bit of influence among the Changkong Martial Arts Hall disciples.

If allowing him to teach the Seven Stars Sword Technique, wouldn’t it be a mess?

What is there to say about allegiance to the Primordial Martial Arts Hall?

Cannot let one martial arts hall split into two factions, teaching different things.
