Chapter 282: Chapter 172: Third Brother, You Have to Stand Up for Me! (2)

It’s not that he’s worried about Gentle seeing his handwriting and mocking him, it’s just that these evil martial arts shouldn’t be seen by Gentle. If carelessly practiced, it could be even more dangerous.

An entire cultivation technique, lavishly sprawling over two to three thousand words.

Within it not only the main cultivation techniques of the [Seven Charms Burning Passion Technique] but also many martial arts derived from it.

Miss Die Wu seemed afraid of leaving out anything, explained every detail clearly and thoroughly.

If it weren’t for Chu Qing stopping her, she would have shared her insights from these years of cultivation with Chu Qing.

Chu Qing did not care about those minor details, carefully reading the main cultivation heart technique several times, and furrowed his brow deeply.

This martial art specializes in ’Charm Art’, stirring up the seven emotions and six desires.

Not only is it associated with ’lust’, but more importantly, it utilizes ’lust’ to enter the Xuan Sect.

Wanting to cultivate is not simply about sitting cross-legged in meditation...

Before that, various methods must be used to nourish oneself.

This includes but is not limited to ’incense burning and bathing’ and other such methods, of course, the incense burned is not ordinary, the bath is not ordinary either.

Through these means, refining oneself to the utmost delicacy, then combining with ’lust’, one can then use ’people’ to practice.

Ultimately, this is an evil skill, not following the usual righteous path of cultivation.

As Chu Qing furrowed his brows, staring at the secret manual, Miss Die Wu couldn’t help but laugh loudly:

"How is it? Isn’t this skill extraordinarily mysterious?

"Can the young hero possibly cultivate it?

"But you don’t know, this method can only be learned by women, men... unless you castrate yourself."

Chu Qing glanced at her, speechless for a moment. It turns out this woman thought he was going to practice, so she explained the cultivation techniques so plainly.

What she didn’t know was that Chu Qing wanted it mainly for the insights into the aspect of the seven emotions and six desires.

Small Cold Valley is too far, and when they can reach is still uncertain.

Gentle’s limit is at twenty-five years old, which seems like quite a lot of time... just afraid that some change in Small Cold Valley may ultimately lead to an indefinite delay.

This young lady of Luochun Manor has helped him a lot, and in any case, Chu Qing cannot let her die from Celestial Fragrance Body.

Hence, he wanted to make alternate preparations.

"The Seven Charms Burning Passion Technique involves entering through lust, but the word ’lust’ is merely one of many desires.

"Gentle possesses the Celestial Fragrance Body, of the six desires it corresponds to the ’nose’, ’appetite’ then is one.

"If a Dharma Gate can be found to enter through this... arousing the seven emotions and six desires, ultimately balancing them within oneself.

"Is there a possibility to eliminate the drawbacks of the Celestial Fragrance Body?"

Chu Qing pondered in his heart while gathering up these secret manuals, storing them in his chest.

Planning to memorize them thoroughly later, then destroy them.

As the saying goes, absorb the essence and discard the dregs, this martial art has little essence and is mostly dregs.

But fortunately, Chu Qing doesn’t disdain it at the moment, a little is enough.

He released Gentle’s acupoints, allowing her to open her eyes.

Gentle rubbed her eyes, and before she could speak, Miss Die Wu said:

"This young hero has obtained an extraordinary Divine Skill, yet he allows you to see nothing, hear nothing, and claims it for himself, do you truly not mind?"

Gentle looked at her, then turned to Chu Qing:

"All done?"

"Yes."

Chu Qing nodded, asking Die Wu:

"Where is Prince Mei at the moment?"

"She is a woman?"

Die Wu stared in disbelief.

Chu Qing smiled slightly, drawing his blade:

"I’m not skilled in the art of interrogation, but I imagine a pretty woman like you must care quite a bit about your appearance.

"What just happened was the first and last time.

"If you answer me again with replies that have no connection to my questions, I will peel the skin off your face bit by bit, making you unbelievably ugly even in death."

Die Wu’s pupils suddenly constricted, and genuine fear rose in her heart.

She is an exceptionally beautiful woman, and the more attractive a person is, the less they can accept becoming ugly.

Even in death, it should be a beautiful death.

She immediately gritted her teeth and said:

"I don’t know... How can people like us question the whereabouts of the prince?"

"Does she come here often?"

"Never... We’ve been here for three years, and the prince came three times."

Chu Qing nodded, asking several more questions.

But unfortunately, Miss Die Wu, though a figure in Seven Plum Manor, knew little about Prince Mei.

She also didn’t know much about the Celestial Evil Cult.

People like them are Prince Mei’s ’tools,’ and as ’tools,’ it’s only necessary to be useful without needing to know too much.

But she does have some understanding of Unbroken Thread and Marriage Tribulation.

From her words, Chu Qing learned that Unbroken Thread wasn’t necessarily a deadly martial art.

If there is a martial art that can preserve one’s qi and blood from dissipating, one can avoid the death tribulation.

For instance, the reason she cultivated the [Seven Charms Burning Passion Technique] was to avoid the death tribulation of [Unbroken Thread].

But not everyone can cultivate this martial art, so Prince Mei passed it on to them as the people under Prince Mei needed a few regulars.

As for others... Prince Mei doesn’t care, nor does Mei Gongzi.

Mei Gongzi is even interchangeable.

Die Wu herself has already served the second Mei Gongzi.

Besides Seven Plum Manor, there should be other Mei Gongzi elsewhere, but she has never seen them, only guessed.

After saying almost everything that should and shouldn’t be said.

Chu Qing did not further trouble her, ending her life with a single swift move, giving her a quick end.

He rose with Gentle and opened the door, finding Chen Zhengnan and others.

They were organizing corpses and searching the manor at the moment.

Seven Plum Manor didn’t have much money, but it contained many peculiar and wicked objects.

But most were things not worth mentioning to outsiders, and Chu Qing and others were not interested.

And behind Seven Plum Manor, a pit of corpses was found.

All were shriveled bodies, without exception all men.

The bodies from the manor were thrown into this pit and buried together, making the whole manor somewhat cleaner.

Aside from that, some secret manuals were found in the manor.

But without exception, they were all the cultivation techniques of [Unbroken Thread].

Chu Qing opened them and found this martial art purely harmed others without benefiting oneself.

It draws the inner strength of others but is hard to use oneself, and over time it would damage the meridians and hurt the Dantian.

Must be expelled quickly...

If there’s any benefit, perhaps it makes one’s appearance more charming.

But when True Qi circulates, it stimulates several acupoints, causing one to lose control and indulge.

After glancing at them, Chu Qing burned these secret manuals together.

This thing is purely harmful, as it involves the seven emotions and six desires. It merely crudely stimulates one’s inner strength.

Moreover, ordinary people can’t practice it, requiring the inner strength from Marriage Tribulation as a catalyst to perform cultivation.

Once this skill is activated, it’s like igniting a fuse.

This fuse connects to one’s own qi and blood, burning through the cultivation technique to generate ’Fire Excess’ power.

Numb the limbs and senses, making one fearless of cold and heat, keeping one’s spirit perpetually excited.

Until exhausting one’s life completely.

Although Chu Qing does not know the exact situation of Marriage Tribulation, he estimates it is not much different from Unbroken Thread.

These cultivation techniques have only one ultimate beneficiary, Prince Mei.

After cleaning the yard completely, everyone temporarily settled in.

In the main hall, the group gathered.

However, the sickly man in black was nowhere to be found, and the scholar had fled, the old man was slain by Cao Qiupu with a single sword.

But they gained four tigers and Tie Chuming.

The drowsy Hua Jinnian waking up, rubbing his neck, confused, asked Chu Qing:

"Who hit me just now?"

Everyone looked at each other, Chu Qing cast him a glance:

"You don’t know what happened?"

"I don’t know..." Hua Jinnian said:

"I just felt a bit hot, like seeing a piece of ice.

"I was about to touch it...

"But before touching it, the ice suddenly slapped me!"

This description is quite vivid...

Chu Qing grinned, just about to speak, but suddenly heard a voice outside the manor using inner strength:

"Golden Hook Xu Family, passing through your precious land.

"With snow blocking the mountain, we humbly request the master to open the door, allowing us refuge from the storm!"

"Great!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Jinnian jumped up immediately:

"They dare to come for us!?

"Third Brother, you have to stand up for me!"
