Time Travel: I'm a Flower Thief

The Three Forms of the Great Dragon Kung Fu?

That sounds impressive.

Xie Xiaoyi's eyes suddenly lit up, and his previous desire to go to Kunlun was instantly suppressed.

With a "plop," he clasped his hands in a fist and bowed deeply, his voice filled with eager anticipation:

"Grandmaster Uncle!"

What kind of profound and mysterious method is this "Three Forms of the Great Dragon Skill"?

This disciple will certainly devote himself to cultivation and will never disgrace your illustrious name!

Hua Youwu hooked his five fingers together and pulled Xie Xiaoyi up with a single stroke of his palm.

"This is the first move, Azure Dragon Absorbs Water!"

Driven by curiosity!

Xie Xiaoyi felt a force pulling him upright, and the anxiety on his face instantly turned into genuine shock.

Hua Youwu then said:

"You are the apprentice of my good-for-nothing nephew, so you are also a member of my Hua family. It's alright to pass on the teachings to you."

You've managed to understand "Kenpachi," which shows you have high comprehension and are a promising talent.

It's better for this skill to fall into your hands than for it to rot in this old man's hands.

As he spoke, he explained the method of circulating Qi through the meridians in the "Three Forms of the Great Dragon Technique"—

The phrases "Azure Dragon Inhaling Water," "Divine Dragon Swinging its Tail," and "Swimming Dragon Emerging from the Sea" were transmitted to Xie Xiaoyi word for word, without the slightest error.

Xie Xiaoyi held his breath and concentrated, engraving every acupoint where Qi flows and every path of internal force into his heart.

......

First move: Azure Dragon Absorbs Water.

By circulating the Qi in the Dantian and guiding the meridians throughout the body, one can capture objects from a distance and even absorb the true Qi from the opponent's body.

The second move, Dragon Swings its Tail.

Guiding the true energy in the dantian to the major acupoints throughout the body and channeling it to the palms creates a palm technique capable of splitting stone tablets.

When applied to the legs, it becomes a deadly leg technique, fierce and unparalleled, with unpredictable changes.

The third move: The Dragon Emerges from the Sea.

This is the ultimate killing move of the Great Dragon Skill!

Gather all the energy in your body into your dantian, then concentrate it into a single point and unleash it suddenly!

......

Hua Youwu explained in detail, and Xie Xiaoyi studied diligently. In just a couple of hours, he had memorized all the internal energy circulation methods of the three forms of the Great Dragon Skill.

Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck me.

He had a brilliant idea.

Since the dragon's tail swing can activate the muscles of its limbs, then... can it also activate them?

Do whatever you want.

Xie Xiaoyi secretly channeled the energy of "Dragon Tail Swing" down to his abdomen.

Not trivial.

In an instant, Xie Xiaoyi felt an indescribable force suddenly arise.

With the unique, powerful, and flowing momentum of a dragon wagging its tail, it settles three inches below its belly.

Very domineering!

Xie Xiaoyi was overjoyed.

Haha!

I am... invincible!

Hua Youwu didn't know why Xie Xiaoyi was secretly happy, and just assumed it was a pleasant surprise after learning the divine skill.

If he knew what Xie Xiaoyi was secretly doing at this moment, he would surely have pierced him with a single sword strike.

"Hey kid, don't get too excited. These three moves are easy to learn but hard to master. Go back and think about them carefully."

Xie Xiaoyi chuckled to himself.

I've been thinking about this for ages, and I've come up with some really creative ideas.

"Yes, Grandmaster Uncle, then this disciple has a question I would like to ask."

"you say."

"Can the Azure Dragon Absorb Water absorb other people's internal energy?"

"It can absorb, but it's like hurting the enemy a thousand while losing eight hundred of your own."

Why?

"You absorbed the other person's internal energy, but it doesn't match your own energy, so you still need to use your own true energy to neutralize it. Isn't that a losing proposition?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Xiaoyi's heart skipped a beat, and he had already made up his mind.

His own dual cultivation technique, "Harmony of Qi Technique," was originally created specifically to refine the primordial yin energy of women, and it was most adept at harmonizing impure energies.

If this method is used to refine the absorbed internal energy, wouldn't it be the perfect remedy?

If others practice Azure Dragon Absorbing Water and are considered the dominant one, then wouldn't I be the submissive one?

Ugh—Pah!

I'm a straight man of steel, what a load of rubbish.

Xie Xiaoyi quickly shook his head, banishing that absurd thought to the winds.

Whether it's the ingenious method of refining internal energy using the Qi Harmony Technique or the unconventional use of the Divine Dragon's Tail, these are all shady practices that he dares not reveal to his grandmaster.

So he stood respectfully to the side, keeping all his thoughts hidden.

They remained silent for a long time.

Hua Youwu glanced out the window, waved his hand, and said:

"It's getting late, you should go back and rest. This can't be rushed, you should take your time to figure it out."

"Yes, Your disciple obeys."

Xie Xiaoyi responded, his gaze sweeping over the shards of wine jars scattered across the floor—

They were all shattered by my grandmaster in a fit of rage after hearing the news of my master's death.

On a sudden impulse, he took out a hundred-tael silver note from his pocket and handed it over with both hands.

"Grandmaster Uncle, please keep this silver for your wine; it's just a small token of my appreciation."

Hua Youwu, who had been maintaining a calm and collected demeanor, suddenly brightened up when he caught a glimpse of the silver note out of the corner of his eye, and his previous solemnity vanished completely.

Without any hesitation, he snatched it away, his smile widening into a grin, though he feigned disgust:

"You little rascal, you do know a bit about human relationships."

"Alright, alright, I'll accept it without further ado, lest you accuse me of being heartless."

"Uh... I'm glad you like it, Grandmaster Uncle. Then this disciple will take his leave."

"Go ahead, go ahead."

Hua Youwu didn't even look up, only focusing on stuffing the silver notes into his pocket.

"Remember to practice diligently. It will greatly benefit you in honing your sword intent in the vast world of Haoran in the future."

Xie Xiaoyi responded and turned to leave the room.

The night breeze carried a slight chill, making his steps light and quick.

After passing through several quiet streets and alleys, we soon returned to the inn where we were staying.

Pushing open the door, turning on the light, and locking the door—all done in one smooth motion.

He tossed his outer robe onto the back of the chair, collapsed onto the soft bed, and let out a long sigh of relief.

The dragon swings its tail.

Hey!

Who will we use it against tomorrow?

Fu Yaoqin?

Mu Pingting?

......

Fall asleep.

Xie Xiaoyi slept exceptionally soundly, not waking up until the sun was high in the sky.

I stretched out a big yawn, feeling completely relaxed, when suddenly there was a soft knock on the door.

Upon opening the door, he saw a pretty maidservant holding a gold-embossed envelope. She curtsied upon seeing him.

"Is this young master Xie Mo? My mistress, Mu Pingting, sent a maid with a letter."

Xie Xiaoyi's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly took the letter.

Upon opening the note, one finds delicate handwriting and a few words, essentially inviting him to meet at "Yushengfang" when he has time to enjoy some new tea.

Xie Xiaoyi held the letter in his hand, a slight smile unconsciously playing on his lips.

Mu Pingting's invitation came at just the right time.

My newly mastered "Dragon Tail Swing" technique has finally come in handy.

......

(I have a sword; please try it!)
