Chapter 9: The Sword Appreciation Ceremony Invites Heroes
"Young Master Qian..."
Poor Lin Zhennan, at his advanced age, stared longingly at Qian Chen, his lips trembling as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
Qian Chen couldn't stand Lin Zhennan's pitiful look, so he raised his hand and pressed down, saying in a deep voice, "Stop! I know what you're trying to say, but let's skip the sentimental scenes!"
"We're all straightforward people, let's skip the formalities and just speak frankly..."
"If the Lin family is willing to serve me in the future, I will naturally protect your family's foundation for generations to come, and may even help your family to go further!"
Qian Chen stared intently at Lin Zhennan. "What is Chief Escort Lin's opinion?"
Lin Zhennan's success today is not only due to his worldly and sophisticated interpersonal skills, but also to his ruthless willingness to risk his life.
"Young hero, you speak your mind, and I, Lin, will do the same. The Lin family is currently in dire straits, surrounded by wolves. Rather than let hypocrites like Yu Canghai destroy the Lin family, I would like to join your ranks and do my part for you."
With that, he lifted his robe, knelt on one knee, and cupped his hands towards Qian Chen, saying, "Lin Zhennan swears to heaven that he is willing to be a lackey under your tutelage, and will obey any orders!"
Qian Chen raised an eyebrow.
Lin Zhennan is something else!
No wonder he's a cunning old fox who's been around the block for years!
Their grasp of human nature is just right.
On the surface, it seems like he's thrown away all his dignity, but what's the value of dignity? The more humble he acts at this moment, the richer the rewards he'll reap!
The bet is that Qian Chen is a person who cares about his reputation!
In fact, Lin Zhennan did make the right bet.
If he had tried to bargain with Qian Chen, Qian Chen would have at most made a one-off deal with the Lin family, and then kicked them aside after he had used them.
Lin Zhennan didn't waste any words; he knelt down on the spot and swore to serve, his words extremely humble.
They've sworn to heaven that they're willing to be your lackeys, so you can't just use them and then kick the Lin family away, can you?
Qian Chen stood with his hands behind his back and his eyes lowered. At a time when he should be maintaining a composed demeanor, he naturally couldn't appear too easygoing.
"Old Lin, please get up first!"
"Since the Lin family is willing to serve me, I will naturally not let them down. From now on, I will shoulder all the grudges and entanglements of the Lin family!"
Lin Zhennan showed no change in expression at Qian Chen's change in addressing him; he simply bowed respectfully in thanks.
"Your kindness, young master, will be forever remembered!"
The two chatted back and forth, while Lin Pingzhi, standing to the side, felt a bit dizzy and unconsciously opened his mouth wide, staring blankly at his father who was still kneeling on the ground.
Young people are ultimately too narrow-minded!
I completely don't understand what's happening before my eyes!
He couldn't understand why his father would kneel down and acknowledge him as a master.
I was just calling him Brother Qian, and now this happens. How am I supposed to address him from now on?
Lin Zhennan naturally noticed Lin Pingzhi's unease, but now that their status had changed, and Qian Chen hadn't spoken, he could only remain silent to avoid overstepping his bounds.
Qian Chen glanced at it out of the corner of his eye.
Lin Pingzhi stood to the side with his head down, his eyes fixed on the tips of his shoes, not daring to look up at him.
"Hira!"
Lin Pingzhi shuddered. "Sigh, Qian Da..."
He suddenly covered his mouth halfway through his sentence, realizing he shouldn't have addressed her that way.
Qian Chen smiled slightly and gently patted Lin Pingzhi's shoulder, "Relax, don't be so reserved!"
"To be honest, I admire you. Although Lao Lin will be working for me from now on, that doesn't stop us from discussing things separately."
"From now on, he'll call me 'Young Master,' and you'll call me 'Elder Brother'!"
Lin Zhennan blushed slightly, feeling somewhat embarrassed, but Lin Pingzhi instantly relaxed and nodded excitedly, "Okay! Brother Qian!"
This complicated relationship left Yue Lingshan completely bewildered. Speechless, she retorted, "My father isn't a bad person; he has absolutely no ill intentions towards the Lin family. Why do you, Chief Escort Lin, demean yourself so much by serving this scoundrel as your master?"
"Besides, isn't your relationship too complicated?"
boom---
"Ouch! That hurts!"
Yue Lingshan covered her forehead, tears glistening in her large eyes, and glared angrily at Qian Chen, "You big bad guy, why did you suddenly flick my forehead?"
"Miss Yue, please recognize your current status! As a prisoner, you have no right to make judgments..."
As Qian Chen spoke, he snapped his fingers again.
Yue Lingshan immediately shrank her neck and covered her head, pleading repeatedly, "Okay, okay, I know! Please don't flick me anymore!"
Qian Chen released his grip, snapped his fingers, and lowered his arm, laughing and teasing, "Haha, that's more like it! A wise person knows when to yield!"
Yue Lingshan pouted, looking aggrieved. Taking advantage of Qian Chen turning around, she bared her teeth at his back, aiming for a mental victory.
After a moment's thought, Qian Chen turned to look at Lin Zhennan, who was still kneeling on one knee, and said loudly, "Old Lin, stand up! I have two things for you to do next."
Lin Zhennan slowly stood up, bowing slightly.
"Please give your orders, young master."
"The first thing is to do your best to collect all the classics of Taoism and Buddhism in the world, especially the 'Zhenghe Wanshou Daozang' which was finally completed during the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty. Remember to collect as many as possible."
Now that I have the help of a true immortal, I can easily defeat people like Yu Canghai with my enhanced physical body.
It's a pity that there's a difference between immortals and mortals!
A true immortal master in the primordial world.
They cultivate immortal scriptures and absorb immortal energy!
The world of Swordsman is ultimately too low-level; it's impossible to practice such advanced techniques. To advance further, one must begin cultivating martial arts and follow the path of refining essence into qi!
Since you've chosen to practice martial arts!
Naturally, one must master the best divine skills!
Of the five martial arts manuals currently circulating in the world, the Yi Jin Jing and Xi Sui Jing are in Shaolin Temple, but Qian Chen might not be able to defeat those monks right now; the Tai Chi Chuan Jing and the Sunflower Manual are probably in the hands of Dongfang Bubai; and if he wants to learn the Dugu Nine Swords, he'll have to face Feng Qingyang first...
Currently, there is hope of obtaining it—
All that's left is the Zixia Divine Skill of the Huashan Sect!
This skill is the foundation of the Innate Skill. As long as he can obtain the manual, Qian Chen is confident that he can deduce the Innate Skill.
But by the time Yue Buqun delivers the Zixia Divine Skill, it'll probably be too late!
Think about it.
The left and right sides are for deduce the technique.
Since the prerequisites for deducing the Innate Skill are insufficient, let's deduce other skills instead!
Huang Shang created the Nine Yin Manual after thoroughly studying the Daoist Canon, and the Drunken Monk created the Nine Yang Manual after thoroughly studying Buddhist scriptures. This shows that the wisdom of martial arts in the world is hidden in the classics written by our predecessors.
Huang Shang can understand it!
Even a drunken monk can attain enlightenment!
Even a half-cultivator can comprehend this, so my friend has a genuine Nascent Soul Immortal behind him, so naturally he can comprehend it too!
By thoroughly studying Taoist and Buddhist scriptures, one can comprehend the Nine Yin and Nine Yang!
Take it!
Although Lin Zhennan didn't know what Qian Chen's intentions were, he had already placed his bet and there was no reason for him to waver. "Your subordinate obeys. We will do everything in the Lin family's power to find the classics you need, young master."
Qian Chen nodded slightly.
Searching for Taoist and Buddhist scriptures, and comprehending the Nine Yin and Nine Yang.
It's just a safety net measure.
To go further, we'll need some drastic measures.
He tapped his fingers lightly, his gaze shifting to the Buddha statue in the main hall, and a plan gradually took shape in his mind.
"The second thing is to issue invitations to all the major martial arts sects in the name of the Fuwei Escort Agency, sincerely inviting heroes from all walks of life to come to Fuzhou to participate in the Sword Appreciation Conference!"
"Uh... a sword appreciation tournament? Young master, with the reputation of the Fuwei Escort Agency, I'm afraid we won't be able to invite those prestigious sects..."
"Don't worry! They'll definitely come!"
"Because this time the reward is the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual..."
