The emperor's family raised me in poverty? But I have an innate ability.

Chapter 17: Secret Skills
"Idiot! How come this sword technique is worse than the last time?"

"Are you trying to fool me? The more you practice, the more you regress. When do you want to condense your innate secret technique?"

"Too weak! I'm practicing again."

Hearing the endless nagging in his ears, Erniu looked resentful.

Since he came back yesterday, his father forced him to practice sword.

Just practice, there's nothing wrong with it, but if there's even a slight mistake, it will result in physical damage.

Now he doesn't want to practice anymore because of all the scolding. The more he practices, the worse he gets. The worse he gets, the more he gets beaten. This is almost breaking him.

"Dad, could you please stop talking?"

Erniu said helplessly: "You are a spearman, do you think it's reliable to teach me how to practice sword?"

"Why is it unreliable?"

Su Wenlin glared, "I don't know swordsmanship, but you can't tell whether it's good or bad? You just don't practice hard!"

"You are now only one step away from condensing your innate secret skills. If you don't hurry up, you don't know how long you will have to wait!"

"Practice quickly! Stop talking nonsense!"

Erniu complained, but picked up the sword again.

Although what his father said was right, at this moment he was only one step away from mastering the swordsmanship.

But this one step away requires resonance with heaven and earth, how can it be a simple thing?

This step is often the most difficult, requiring instruction from a famous teacher who has mastered the same innate secret skills, or one's own enlightenment after practicing swordsmanship for a long time.

But obviously, apart from him, no one else in Qingshan Village knew how to use the Jingtao Sword.

"Forget it, just bear with it for a few more days. Dad won't be able to stay for much longer."

Erniu complained in his heart and was just about to continue practicing sword.

But at this moment, there were knocks on the door outside the yard.

"Brother Erniu, are you up yet?"

Chang Qing?

Erniu's eyes lit up and he almost cried. His savior had arrived.

"It's the young master. He must have something to talk to me about. I'll go take a look."

Erniu said this with a serious face, threw away his sword and ran out quickly.

Su Wenlin opened his mouth, wanting to stop him, but after thinking it over, he just laughed and cursed, and ignored him.

……

"Brother Qing, is there something wrong? Is there something urgent that you need my help with?"

Erniu ran out of the yard quickly and secretly winked at Su Changqing.

"Did you make Uncle Wenlin angry again?"

Su Changqing shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and then said:
"I do have something to ask you to go to the mountain with me."

Before he finished speaking, Erniu's eyes suddenly lit up, "Okay! No problem!"

For him now, as long as he doesn't practice sword, he can go anywhere.

After saying that, Erniu pulled Su Changqing and trotted all the way, and soon they were out of the village.

At this point, he heaved a sigh of relief, then looked at Su Changqing curiously and asked, "Why are you going up the mountain for no reason? There are a lot of wild animals there."

"Looking for herbs."

Su Changqing sighed, "Many people in the village have caught a cold these past two days and have been coughing non-stop."

"I was afraid something might happen if this continued, so I asked my teacher for a medical book and learned a few recipes for making medicine."

When Erniu heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

For those people from Qingshan Village who go up the mountain to collect herbs?

Not to mention the prescriptions in medical books, even those in divine books cannot save those people.

That's not a disease at all. Even if you really are sick and have been cured, you will definitely die.

But this matter cannot be told to Changqing, otherwise, we don’t know whether others are dead or alive, but he will definitely not survive.

"You're carrying a wooden sword. Are you going to use it to defend yourself?"

Looking at Su Changqing carrying a bamboo cage, a wooden sword on his left, and a hatchet on his right, Erniu said with a bit of a smile.

He had said that the sword could not be made, but now it seemed that the young master took it seriously and even carved out a wooden sword.

"of course."

Su Changqing nodded seriously, "I asked you to come here today, firstly to have a companion, and secondly to teach you swordsmanship."

"You gave me that secret book, so I can't keep it all for myself."

When Erniu heard this, he looked at Su Changqing with some amusement and pointed at his nose, "You, teach me swordsmanship?"

It sounds a bit absurd that an ordinary person wants to teach himself the sword skills of a sword cultivator at the peak of the third realm.

"Is there a problem?" Su Changqing raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Hahaha."

Erniu laughed and shook his head, "Of course no problem, I have to study hard later, hahahaha."

Chatting and laughing all the way, the two soon arrived at the foot of the green mountain.

The fog was thick in the early morning and visibility in the forest was very low.

Su Changqing led the way with a hatchet in hand, searching for herbs while always being alert to possible wild beasts that might appear in the forest.

As for Erniu, it was much easier for him. After all, he was very skilled and brave. With his strength, he could easily overturn the mountain, let alone the wild beasts.

As he walked, he chatted with Su Changqing: "Changqing, I haven't thanked you for the poem last time, but it made me stronger."

Su Changqing carefully picked a herb and chuckled:
"Why are you being so polite to me? It's just a poem. If you need anything, just tell me."

He couldn't guarantee anything else, but a few poems meant nothing to him.

"Really?"

Erniu's eyes lit up, "Then I won't be polite to you. That girl likes these fancy things, and I really have nowhere to get them."

"But you don't need too many. One or two more will be enough. If you have too many, you might make the master angry."

Su Changqing smiled and said, "No problem."

As the two chatted and laughed, they gradually went deeper into the mountains, and the number of snakes, insects, rats and ants around them increased.

While Su Changqing was bending down to pick a medicinal herb, a meter-long black-necked snake slowly straightened up on a branch nearby.

The moment it saw Su Changqing picking the herbs, the black-necked snake immediately bared its fangs and shot towards him at an extremely fast speed.

Erniu's eyebrows jumped, sword energy surrounded his fingertips, and he was just about to attack.

But suddenly!

laugh!
A wooden sword as fast as lightning, with a faint sound of flowing water, accurately cut the black-banded snake's vital point.

"Uh, Jingtao Sword?"

Erniu was stunned, staring blankly at Su Changqing who put away the wooden sword, unable to react.

Although it was just a simple sword-starting move, after practicing it all night, he was able to recognize the origin of this sword technique at a glance.

"How is it? This sword technique can be mastered, right?"

Su Changqing picked up the corpse of the black-banded snake, looked at the stunned Erniu, smiled and said.

Erniu didn't say anything, but recalled the simple sword move he had just made.

Swift, decisive and precise!

Even he, a swordsman who had mastered the Jingtao sword technique, could not find any fault with it.

even
"Just now, there was the sound of flowing water from the Jingtao sword technique. Was it an auditory hallucination after practicing sword techniques all night, or was it the artistic conception of sword techniques?"

Erniu's gaze towards Su Changqing gradually became a little different, but there was still a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

Su Changqing didn't think too much and continued to move forward.

Erniu followed silently, looking up and down at Su Changqing's back suspiciously. After a moment, his fingertips moved slightly, and a breath spread out.

"Ow!"

Soon, a wolf howl was heard from afar, and in a moment it appeared in front of the two of them.

"Brother Erniu, don't move!"

Although Su Changqing was shocked, he was not afraid. He slowly walked forward with the wooden sword in his hand and made a standard Jingtao Sword starting posture.

Erniu's pupils shrank slightly.

"Ow!"

With a wolf howl, the huge gray wolf pounced straight towards Su Changqing.

Erniu's aura was fluctuating. If there was any danger, he would drive away the gray wolf immediately.

But he soon realized it was unnecessary.

Su Changqing shouted softly, and the Jingtao sword technique shot out like flowing clouds and water.

Gusts of wind blew, and the dead leaves around danced with the sword.

The surrounding dead leaves made a sound like flowing in a stream. The sword moves became increasingly sharp, and the sound of the stream became thicker, like waves one after another.

The gray wolf was already covered in wounds and let out a shrill howl, then turned around and tried to run away.

But the next moment, all the streams returned to their original flow, like a raging wave crashing down, fiercely striking the gray wolf.

When Erniu saw this scene, his eyes almost popped out and his face was full of horror.

"Shh! Shocking Waves Realm? Great Swordsmanship?"

"What a joke!"

Jingtao Sword Technique, Mastery, Su Changqing.

He knew all these words, but when they were put together, they seemed outrageous no matter how he looked at them!

The Jingtao Sword was given to Su Changqing by him, and it was still incomplete. It had only been two days since then.
I have mastered it! ? ?
"Roar!"

Just when Erniu was beginning to doubt his life, an angry roar was heard in the dense forest.

Su Changqing's eyes became serious and he turned around to look.

I saw a black bear that was about ten feet long striding out of the dense forest, scanning the entire scene with bloodthirsty eyes.

"Hissing a bear this big? Trouble."

Seeing this, Su Changqing turned around and shouted, "Brother Erniu, run quickly, I'll be there soon!"

After he finished speaking, he took a deep breath and said, "I have to use my full strength."

Looking at the black bear, Su Changqing's face was serious. He put his finger on his forehead and shouted softly,
"Print it!"

laugh!
In an instant, a mark like a stream of water emerged and then fell directly into the wooden sword.

The next moment, that ordinary wooden sword suddenly emitted a faint green light, and there seemed to be a stream of water gathering around the sword!

Seeing this scene, the black bear didn't react at all.

But Erniu, who was standing behind Su Changqing, was completely stunned.

"My life secret technique?"
