Martial Arts Crossover: My Wife is the Top Scholar

Chapter 444 The Martial Arts Techniques You Must Learn!
Li Zhaoting slays Fukang'an with his sword, and Yu Luosha frightens away Yinshan Tianzun. The martial arts tournament thus comes to an end.

Under the pursuit of the Manchu army, less than half of the martial arts sects escaped. The Wanyan clan was completely wiped out, and Ge Ying, Su Penghai, and others were all killed by stray spears.

The immortal immortal and Fan Dengfeng were lucky; they encountered Lu Xiaofeng, but instead of fighting on the battlefield, they quickly escaped to the deep mountains and forests, thus narrowly escaping their pursuit.

After this battle, the Tianlong Gang, Shangwan Tiangong, the Twelve Orders of the Universe, Changbai Sect and other sects were all wiped out, and only a handful of them escaped, like stray dogs.

Some of the more shrewd ones defected to the fourteenth prince.

Some accepted the offer from the Heavenly Desire Palace.

The Imperial City Guard was as quiet as a chicken; all was silent.

This is Li Zhaoting's order.

All branches of the Imperial City Guard, including peripheral forces such as the Red Flower Society, were to remain silent for five months, with no action permitted. Anyone who dared to disobey orders, regardless of their achievements or merits, would be severely punished.

Li Zhaoting reaped great benefits.

First, he got to know all the princesses of the Demonic Sect and figured out the truth behind Yu Luosha's doting affection for him.

Secondly, one must comprehend the Yue Maiden Sword Intent. If the Tathagata Divine Light, Hundred Steps Flying Sword, and Eight Swords Flying Together are the limits of mortals and the limits of the Heavenly Gang Ranking, then the newly comprehended Yue Maiden Sword Intent is about breaking free from these constraints and undergoing a complete transformation.

Having just ascended to the top of the Heavenly Gang for several months, Li Zhaoting broke through another bottleneck and embarked on the path of the Celestial Being.

Finally, there was Wu Sidao's booklet.

A person like Wu Sidao, without the restraint of emotions, would be a demon worthy of death. Yongzheng could not tolerate him, Qianlong could not tolerate him, and even he himself could not tolerate himself. He was destined to perish.

Emotions were both the shackles that bound Wu Sidao and the armor that protected him. Without Consort Hua and Yongning as weaknesses, Wu Sidao would have been eliminated long ago.

This martial arts gathering was not Wu Sidao's final act of splendor, but rather a plea to Emperor Qianlong.

He used his life's achievements as a bargaining chip and his own life as the price to beg Emperor Qianlong to spare Yongning.

The plan succeeded, and the Manchus won a great victory. Emboldened by this triumph, Emperor Qianlong was too excited to care about a mere woman like Yongning; at worst, she could become a nun.

The plan failed, but Wu Sidao was fortunate to encounter Chu Liuxiang, who never killed anyone, and offered him a life-saving bargaining chip: a list of spies that the Sticky Rod Bureau had sent to the Song Dynasty over the years.

After Wu Sidao's death, Yongning disappeared quietly. When she reappeared, she was already a disciple of Yaoguang Palace.

Li Zhaoting made arrangements in advance. Feng Asan led Meng Huangliang, Cai Buli, Gao Damao, Dugu Yisheng and other people away through the secret passage. Lu Xiaofeng was responsible for escorting them. They made a detour and headed towards the Central Plains.

Chu Liuxiang handed the booklet to the waiter, and then, as agreed, went to the cave of Patriarch Hesha.

Several days later, Chu Liuxiang found the treasure.

Master Hesha was a Buddhist disciple, and his most precious inheritance was a volume of "Collected Annotations on the Marrow Washing Classic," which was his understanding after borrowing the "Marrow Washing Classic" from Shaolin Temple. It recorded the methods of changing tendons and washing marrow, which can improve one's aptitude.

In addition, there are several divine weapons.

Chu Liuxiang did not covet the manual and directly gave it to Master Damu. Master Damu sighed that he had lived for over a hundred years and was able to have his wish fulfilled before he died. He had no regrets in this life. He had finally found the manual, so how could he let it be buried with him? This would be against the will of Heaven!
Master Da Mu gave the secret manual to Chu Liuxiang, along with his life's work of mastering the Purple Yang Qi, Golden Toad Force, Mountain Pushing Palm, and other unique skills, as well as three or four volumes of elixir formulas.

Master Da Mu's aptitude was average, but he had eighty years of experience in alchemy. Relying on his massive experience points, he worked his way up to become a master alchemist and was also proficient in cultivating spiritual herbs.

Since his assets were not very substantial, Master Damu felt embarrassed to show them off. Before leaving, Chu Liuxiang insisted on giving him a bag of jujubes, dried jujubes, and snake skin.

The two cubs born to the golden eagle were intended to stay with the golden eagle temporarily. After a few months, when both the golden eagle and Da Mu's lifespan was exhausted, Li Zhaoting would take them away.

With Da Mu's detached mindset and profound skills, he could easily live for another seven or eight years. If no one disturbs him, living for another ten or twenty years would not be difficult at all.

As the saying goes, a person lives for their pride.

Master Damu has lived to this day, sustained by the He Sha Secret Manual. Now that his wish has been fulfilled, Master Damu has no more attachments to the world, and his breath has finally dissipated.

The giant tree and the golden eagle have been companions for decades. To give a somewhat inappropriate example, their relationship is not that of a master and servant, but rather that of "companions."

If one of them dies, the other will die too.

Chu Liuxiang was well aware of this principle, but if Chu Liuxiang failed, Da Mu, in his anger, might suffer a mental breakdown, go mad, and die on the spot.

If there is a treasure in the world that even Chu Liuxiang couldn't find, who else could?
Unable to be found, Da Muqi died suddenly from a disease.

They found it, and Da Mu's wish was fulfilled, bringing him great joy.

Relatively speaking, a joyous funeral is better.

Seeing Chu Liuxiang's depressed expression, Da Mu chuckled and comforted him: "Young man, you still have seventy or eighty years to live, how can you be so gloomy?"
In this life, some people seek unparalleled martial arts skills, some seek wealth and beauty, some seek fame and fortune, and some are more sentimental and want to pursue true love.

As long as one's wishes are fulfilled and one can die in peace, what is there to fear about death? I have lived for over a hundred years. How many people throughout history have lived as long as I have?
How many people throughout history have been able to fulfill their wishes before death, without any regrets?

Not to boast, but even among Confucius, Shakyamuni, Zhang Daoling, and Xuanzang, the holy and immortal Buddhas whose names are recorded in history, how many are more dashing than me?
Young man!
You should congratulate me!

Li Zhaoting said I was like plain water.

I'm willing to be like plain water.

What's wrong with plain boiled water?
To live a carefree, unrestrained, and ordinary life—isn't that the greatest fortune?

Some are the stars on the stage, some are the spectators applauding below. Li Zhaoting is a peerless hero of the martial arts world, Chu Xiangshuai is a wandering dragon among men, and I am just a spectator. There is red, green, and blank space. This is the real martial arts world!

At this point in life, what more could one ask for!
Hahahahahahahahahaha…

Master Da Mu played his sword and sang, living a life of unbridled freedom.

Chu Liuxiang felt as if he had been enlightened. He sent a letter to Li Zhaoting and stayed to discuss the Dao with Da Mu. Five months later, the lifespan of the Venerable Da Mu was exhausted, the feathers of the exotic golden eagle fell off, and its breath weakened. It then passed away.

Chu Liuxiang completed the construction of his mausoleum.

Inspired, he wrote a poem in praise.

A hundred years on the rivers and lakes, we drift like mayflies, sharing the misty waves and the bright moon on our fishing boats.

The fire in the alchemical furnace is still, the clouds drift leisurely by, and the crane's shadow fades away as the scriptures are completed in the Purple Palace.

I laugh as I send my profound knowledge to repay my old friend, and gladly leave behind jujubes to plant for the new autumn.

If you ask where true freedom lies in life, drink a cup of wine in the rivers and lakes and laugh until your hair turns white.

—A gift from Chu Liuxiang to the Venerable Damu!
……

Changyinghao.

Xue Muhua was sullen.

Li Zhaoting's internal injuries were too severe to be treated with ordinary medicine. If Cao Xiong were still alive, his mansion could be searched to see if there were any remaining slices of the ancient ginseng, which could be used as a medicinal ingredient to refine elixirs.

How to treat Li Zhaoting's internal injuries?

Lan Xiaodie has the answer to this question.

"You have no other way? It seems I have no choice but to use my method! Wang Yuyan, Bai Yunfei, you two come with me, I'll teach you healing techniques!"

Lan Xiaodie glanced at the beauties, then pulled Wang Yuyan and Bai Yunfei away. Wang Shenglan stood in front of Lan Xiaodie, saying, "What healing technique? Explain yourself! Why are only the two of them allowed to heal my husband?"

Lan Xiaodie glanced at Li Shengnan.

Li Shengnan said, "Shenglan, don't be willful. Saving your husband is the most important thing. Xiaodie, it's better to just say some things directly. There's no need to hide them."

Lan Xiaodie blushed and said, "Holy Maiden, do you really want me to say it? How could I possibly say that!"

Feng Suzhen smiled and smoothed things over: "Sisters, please don't make a fuss. We're all family, what's there to be embarrassed about? We'll all be honest with each other sooner or later!"

Lan Fenghuang laughed and said, "Yes, yes, yes! A hot spring pool was recently built at home. When we get home, we can all soak in the hot spring together and see who has the best figure!"

Before he could finish speaking, he was suppressed by a group of people.

Li Zhaoting gave a silent, bitter smile.

Feng Suzhen, the powerful wife, controlled everything!
Lan Xiaodie didn't speak, but instead lightly poured three cups of tea, handed them to Bai Yunfei and Wang Yuyan, and pulled the two of them to greet Feng Suzhen: "Sister, have some tea!"

Feng Suzhen seemed to have misunderstood, but since the four princesses were originally part of Li Shengnan's dowry, she didn't say anything and accepted the teacups one by one, saying, "Welcome, my three sisters!"

Li Shengnan coughed heavily a few times.

Figure out your position.

—I am the saint, I am the saint!
Gongsun Lan looked somewhat displeased. We are all the four princesses. Although I came out on top, why am I excluded from serving tea to my eldest sister?
Lan Xiaodie quickly explained, "Sisters, it's not that I'm ungrateful or trying to blackmail you, but I want to heal Master's wounds, and virginity is more effective..."

Li Zhaoting exclaimed in surprise, "No! Even if I don't take any medicine, I'll recover in three months at most! I'd rather die than practice that evil method of replenishing yang with yin!"

Lan Xiaodie said softly, "Master, the Holy Sect has a Holy Maiden and a Princess in every generation. Most Holy Maidens are personally taught by the Sect Leader, and Princesses are trained by the previous generation's Princess. The previous Princess who trained Gongsun Lan was Lady of the South Sea, and the previous Princess who trained me was... Gu Ningqing!"

Wang Shenglan skillfully played the supporting role: "What's Gu Ningqing's background? That's a very nice-sounding name."

Wang Yuyan skillfully explained: "Gu Ningqing was originally the king of Wushuang Kingdom, a small kingdom in the Western Regions. The kingdom has a history of thousands of years, and its ancestors were veterans of Huo Qubing's campaign against the Xiongnu."

Decades ago, the Mongol master Nian Liandan led the Mongol cavalry to conquer the Wushuang Kingdom. Gu Ningqing was rescued by the previous leader and later founded the Dual Cultivation Hall in the Central Plains.

The direct lineage of the Dual Cultivation Sect: the 'Great Dual Cultivation Technique'.

This is a peerless martial art that encompasses the workings of nature, nurtures all things, and restores the balance of Yin and Yang. I'm not entirely sure of its specific effects, but I do know it's a direct descendant of the Peerless Kingdom. Xiao Die, can this martial art heal injuries?

You should know that even the Heavenly Mending Technique couldn't fix the master's injuries. If the Dual Cultivation Mansion had such an unparalleled divine skill, why is it in such a dilapidated state?

This matter cannot afford the slightest setback.

Feng Suzhen said, "Little Butterfly, it's not that I'm greedy for the secret techniques of the Dual Cultivation Sect, but this matter is of great importance. Please recite the incantation, and we sisters can discuss it together."

If the Dual Cultivation Palace holds me accountable, I will exchange five divine weapons and ten scrolls of secret manuals for them. If that's not enough, I'll give them three favors so they can help me out three times.

What does Shengnan think?

Li Shengnan narrowed her eyes: "Gu Ningqing is determined to kill Nian Liandan. As long as my husband's internal injuries are healed, even twenty Nian Liandans will not be able to escape the Purple and Green Twin Swords!"

Lan Xiaodie sighed, "Sisters, I need your care, how could I dare to have any schemes? It's just that this dual cultivation technique has some strange requirements."

Li Zhaoting chimed in, "That's right! I wouldn't take this piece of junk even if it were given to me for free; it's just a nuisance!"

"Sir, have you heard of the Dual Cultivation Technique?"

Want to hear my honest opinion?

"Of course!"

"If it weren't for this damned dual cultivation technique, Gu Ningqing would have already restored the Peerless Kingdom. The dual cultivation technique isn't a bargaining chip for Gu Ningqing; it's a burden!"

"My master often lamented this matter!"

Lan Xiaodie was starting to develop a habit of sighing. She reached into her robes and pulled out the original manual of the Dual Cultivation Technique.

Everyone: ((!!!-_-)-_-)-_-)
This thing is definitely not a normal cheat code.

They don't even qualify as evil or heretical.

Dual cultivation emphasizes mutual affection and harmony. Even the methods of sexual exploitation used by evil sects can still provide some enjoyment.

This mental cultivation method is led by women, requiring men to be affectionate but without desire, and women to be passionate but without affection.

Gu Ningqing was in love with Li Ruohai, but eventually married Bu She. Every night during their intimate moments, she would mutter Li Ruohai's name. What normal person could bear that? Bu She was so angry that he became a monk.

This is even more outrageous than Mu Wanqiu's.

Mu Wanqiu simply imagined Xie Ruolin as Yu Zecheng. As long as Mu Wanqiu didn't tell anyone, no one would know, and the two could make do.

Gu Ningqing is really...

Even Li Ruohai was speechless.

Li Ruohai swore that he was a pure yang boy, and that he had devoted his life to martial arts training and had never had any romantic relationships.

Lan Xiaodie opened the manual: "Master has improved the mental cultivation method. It is no longer mainly for women, but for both parties to practice together. If the man is a martial artist who has reached the pinnacle and become a celestial being, and the gap between the two is too large, the limitation of the mental cultivation method can be broken, and only the healing effect will be retained."

At this point, Lan Xiaodie retorted, "I've only ever been in contact with you, Master. Who else could I possibly miss? I can't possibly miss Bai Yunfei!"

Bai Yunfei gasped and instinctively leaned into Li Zhaoting's arms to avoid being taken advantage of.

Bai Yunfei has thick eyebrows and a bold look. He can dress in both masculine and feminine styles. If Bai Yunfei were to travel in men's clothing, his charm would be no less than that of Shangguan Haitang.

Li Shengnan said, "I've made the decision! It's settled then! You all go and give your husband a bath!"

Feng Suzhen gave a wink, and Meizhu brought over four brocade boxes containing bracelets carved by Li Nanxing. Each of Li's daughters-in-law would receive one; Gongsun Lan hadn't received one before, but now it was a good opportunity to make up for it, ensuring that no one was treated unfairly.

Gongsun Lan happily put on the jade bracelet.

Feng Suzhen smiled and said, "Gongsun sister, you go and help treat your husband. Bai, Lan and Wang sisters don't have much experience and need your personal guidance."

At this point, everyone blushed deeply.

Lan Fenghuang seized the opportunity: "I can go over and give them pointers; I have the most extensive experience."

Feng Suzhen and Li Shengnan exchanged a glance, then joined forces to suppress Lan Fenghuang. One of them pressed down on Lan Fenghuang's shoulder, while the other pulled out a feather duster and swung it three times in quick succession.

The Mighty Sword Technique of the First Wife!

Blue Phoenix's arrogance was extinguished.

Mei Zhu and Jiang Yuyan went to prepare bath water.

Gongsun Lan shared his experience with the three women.

Li Zhaoting wanted to refuse, but his physical condition did not allow it. His true energy was exhausted and his strength was weak. Wang Shenglan swiftly used a set of Tianshan Zhemei Hand techniques to tie Li Zhaoting up and throw him into the bathtub.

"My three younger sisters are in your care now!"

Wang Shenglan clapped his hands enthusiastically.

Li Zhaoting vowed that after he recovered from his injury, he would make Wang Shenglan experience what "husbandly power" was like, and he would start group chats until Wang Shenglan never wanted to start group chats again!
The water in the bathtub was warm.

Mei Zhu and Jiang Yuyan bathed Li Zhaoting, while Gongsun Lan imparted her experience to the three girls in the bedroom. It is said that girls in the dormitory often talk about these things more freely than boys in the dormitory. During military training, the female instructors' ability to curse far surpasses that of the male instructors, and it's all gibberish!

"Meizhu, you're the most obedient one. Can you untie me? If we go back, I'll make you my housekeeper!"

"Master, this is Madam's order. Please don't make things difficult for me. Just wait and enjoy the beauty!"

"Yu Yan, knock Mei Zhu unconscious and untie the restraints on me, and I will teach you three sets of peerless sword techniques."

"This servant is a swordswoman."

"I will teach you three sets of unparalleled sword techniques."

"Don't try to do too much at once; you'll never learn anything!"

"I'll teach you step by step."

"Just knock him out?"

"Of course... Ah!"

Li Zhaoting was knocked unconscious by Jiang Yuyan.

"Finally, it's quiet! How shameless! He was clearly more excited than anyone else, but he played hard to get, acting more serious than anyone else, as if we were bullying him!"

While rubbing Li Zhaoting's back, Jiang Yuyan rambled on, "Meizhu, let's discuss this: let's give the master a good stab and go get the bounty from the Azure Dragon Society."

“Sister Yu Yan, if you rub the master’s back, he definitely won’t wake up. But if you stab him, he’ll wake up immediately and knock you down with a single finger. Even if you succeed in stabbing him, will you be able to find the Azure Dragon Society? Given the Azure Dragon Society’s bad reputation, they’ll most likely renege on their debt.”

Mei Zhu rolled her eyes dismissively.

Li Zhaoting's fishing skills are terrible.

This performance was exceptional for the Qing Dynasty.

In fact, he couldn't even catch a young maid.

Jiang Yuyan looked down, her face flushed, and complained resentfully, "Master, stop pretending. You're not serious at all except for your face."

Li Zhaoting: I fell asleep! I'm really dizzy!

Love at first sight between young men and women is very likely to be lust at first sight, and there is no essential difference between the two.

The love at first sight in the Dual Cultivation Mansion is the real deal. The feelings flow like a torrent, and once you realize you've fallen in love, you'll never forget it in this lifetime.

Lan Xiaodie doesn't need to be forgotten.

This was exactly what Lan Xiaodie was pursuing.

Compared to Wang Yuyan and Bai Yunfei, Lan Xiaodie is far bolder and more skilled at harmonizing her inner energy. In terms of precise control over inner energy, Lan Xiaodie ranks first among the four princesses, a level of excellence that is unmatched.

Lan Xiaodie's shocking lines, among the vast sea of ​​martial arts novels, movies, and TV series, would easily rank in the top 10, if not the top 100.

This statement solved many problems.

For experts, it doesn't need to be this complicated.

Refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, directly refining it into one's own cultivation, Li Zhaoting felt Lan Xiaodie's cloud-like and misty Xuan Yin Qi, felt Bai Yunfei's pure and refined Yuan Qi, felt Wang Yuyan's vastness of all rivers flowing into the sea and all laws returning to their origin. Initially, he was able to maintain his will, but soon he was completely immersed, and his thoughts went to the boundless starry sky.

In this state, I usually like to recite a poem.

It's not that complicated now.

My poetic inspiration surged forth like a silver river cascading from the heavens; there was simply too much to express, and I was at a loss for words.

Inspiration flows freely, without any sense of beginning, development, transition, or conclusion; one only knows that the depleted dantian has been transformed into a new spring.

The true energy of Yin and Yang is replenished in the meridians.
