Chapter 192: Photographic memory, taking away all martial arts

Time flies, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

The business of Shen's Restaurant gradually got on track and could make a net profit of more than ten taels of silver every day.

Although this is just a small profit for many wealthy families, in Shen Qing's eyes, it is a good start.

With gradual development in the future, it would not be a bad idea to have another prominent family named Shen in Yongzhou.

Taking advantage of these few days, Shen Qing pawned some of his unused items and exchanged them for dozens of taels of silver to use for food, clothing and other daily necessities.

As for the eagle demon's magic pill, he kept it in his hand, intending to use it to improve his cultivation in the future.

……

County government office, martial arts hall.

Shen Qing walked to the door holding an ancient bronze order.

The man guarding the gate was a martial arts instructor with white hair and beard.

Even though his Qi and blood were already weakened, his eyes were still extremely sharp. When he saw Shen Qing, he examined him and said, "Who is coming?"

Shen Qing bowed slightly and said in a steady and powerful voice: "I am Shen Qing, the envoy of the Weiwu Division. Not long ago, I received the grace of the military commander, Lord Jia, who allowed me to come to the martial arts hall to learn martial arts and improve my cultivation."

"Is there any proof?"

Shen Qing handed over the bronze order respectfully and said, "Please have a look at it, Senior."

The old coach took the copper order and examined it carefully for a moment. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he regained his composure and returned the order to Shen Qing. He said in a gentle tone, "It turned out to be Shen Chasi. Commander Jia has already sent someone to inform me that you can enter the martial arts hall for three days to check all the martial arts books. Please follow me."

After saying that, the old coach turned around and led the way, passing through several winding corridors, and finally came to a spacious and bright study, and pushed the door open and entered.

"Please come in."

The air in the study of the martial arts hall was filled with the smell of ink and paper.

As Shen Qing stepped in, the two smells intertwined together and penetrated into his nostrils.

Looking around, there are many bookshelves in the study, and each shelf is filled with various books. Some are yellowed and old, while others are beautifully bound, obviously new books that have been recently collected.

This study is not very big, only about one hundred square meters. Shen Qing roughly estimated that there are nearly a thousand martial arts books in it.

Just choosing the right technique would probably take a day or two.

"Officer Shen, this is where our County Yamen Martial Arts Hall collects martial arts books. Each book can be said to be a fine martial arts book that has been improved by countless people. Many of them are the essence of martial arts taken from the royal arsenal. You can choose any book to study here. If you don't understand something, you can ask me at any time. But remember, the way of martial arts is perseverance, don't bite off more than you can chew."

The old coach gave earnest instructions.

Shen Qing nodded and said with a hint of gratitude: "Thank you for your guidance, senior."

"Oh, by the way, Senior. I wonder where the martial arts after the Qi Cultivation Stage are?"

"Starting from here, the third row and the ones behind are all there." The old coach pointed at a row and preached.

"Thank you."

Following the old coach's instructions, Shen Qingru walked to the third row of bookshelves, his eyes wandering among the dazzling array of martial arts secrets therein.

He casually pulled out one of the books, placed it in front of him and took a look at it.

"Flipping Cloud Sword Technique."

Turn to the first page.

The first thing that catches your eye is the images of sword moves, with each move broken down and lifelike.

Even every move and the direction of the circulation of true energy were recorded in great detail. Even Shen Qing, who didn't know much about swordsmanship, felt that many of the details were very insightful.

"The sword moves lightly, unpredictably like flowing clouds..." As Shen Qing recited in a low voice, he felt that the sword moves recorded in it were more and more exquisite, and each move contained the ultimate truth of heaven and earth.

The opportunity to see such a martial arts secret book is very rare. Shen Qing was completely immersed in it and quickly flipped through the pages one by one.

Unconsciously, Shen Qing had memorized these martial arts secrets using his photographic memory skill. After spending an incense stick of time, Shen Qing had finished reading all the martial arts secrets of the "Fanyun Sword Technique".

"Okay, next one."

Shen Qing took out the martial arts book and became curious when he saw the names of the techniques on it.

"Joyful Zen Great Union Lotus Technique."

He opened it and discovered that it was actually a remarkable Buddhist martial art.

As stated in the book, by studying the Joyful Buddhist Dharma with women and collecting the essence from their flesh lotus every day, one can quickly increase one's own Qi, blood, and energy to achieve a breakthrough.

And once you practice this skill, the opposite sex will have a great desire for it, and your body will emit the fragrance of Buddha.

Anyone of the opposite sex that one is attracted to will feel pious when they smell this Buddhist incense, and will be able to get whatever they want.

It is only possible to practice it if one has a Buddhist root, otherwise it will be difficult to practice.

Shen Qing took a look and found that the level of this technique was not high, and the achievements in practicing it were limited, so it was not very suitable for him.

But since he was already here, Shen Qing decided to memorize this martial art.

Just now, after he finished reading the first book on swordsmanship, a bold idea suddenly popped up in his mind. He wanted to use his skill of "Photographic Memory" to memorize all the martial arts here and take them away without missing a single word.

Even if he doesn't practice these martial arts in the future, he can copy them down and sell them for money.

Among the thousands of martial arts secrets manuals here, even if one is sold for ten taels of silver, it can be sold for ten thousand taels.

Shen Qing licked his lips and suddenly became excited.

Just do it.

After collecting his thoughts, Shen Qing continued to study hard.

"Hunyuan Xuan Gong..."

"The alien phase returns to its origin..."

“Blood-Repelling True Essence Sutra…”

Shen Qing unexpectedly discovered that as he continued to read martial arts manuals, his [Skill: Reading and Writing], which had not changed much in the past, began to improve at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Time passed bit by bit.

Shen Qing spent almost half a day recording... no, he finished reading nearly three or four hundred martial arts secrets manuals.

It has to be said that the martial arts foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty is indeed deep enough.

Any martial arts book here is more profound than what he learned in the martial arts school.

Many of the approaches to cultivation are also classic, and almost all of them have twice the result with half the effort.

After reading for a day, Shen Qing benefited a lot. He learned the concept of transforming energy into reality when breaking through the Qi Hai realm, which allowed him to make some preparations in advance.

Shen Qing glanced at the sky, it was almost evening, he put down the martial arts book in his hand and walked out of the study.

Outside the study, the old coach was poking an ant nest.

When he saw Shen Qing coming out, he said without even looking up, "Did you pick anyone to sleep with?"

Shen Qing shook his head and said, "Not yet, I plan to read them all before making a decision."

"Okay, you'd better make sure of it tomorrow, so I can give you some pointers in one day."

"You are not allowed to take the martial arts we learn in our martial arts hall out. Otherwise, it will violate the taboos of the court and may cause big problems." The old coach instructed seriously.

Shen Qing nodded and smiled: "I understand."
