From a country cook to a master chef

"Master, I have come here today to ask for a martial arts technique. The only inner court martial arts I have learned is the Six Harmonies Great Wilderness Hand from the Innate Body Techniques. I hope you will grant me this request."

Lin Jue did not hesitate and directly expressed his thoughts.

Although the Tianwu Mountain Six Harmonies Wilderness Hand is powerful, it is only one set of palm techniques. In actual combat, having more martial arts to protect oneself would always give one peace of mind.

"You brat, you've mastered the Six Harmonies Great Wilderness Hand to the sixth level of palm power?" Zhong Liang didn't seem surprised when he heard this. He knew what Lin Jue wanted as soon as he entered the room.

"No, Master." Lin Jue shook his head and replied, "This palm technique can deal with a martial artist in the early stage of the Divine Illumination Realm with only three levels. I thought that after practicing to the fifth level, the power of the palm would increase greatly. However, I did not expect that it would not be much different from the third level. Therefore, I think this palm technique is really useless. I came here to ask Master to teach me other martial arts."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Liang couldn't help but roll his eyes at his disciple, and then coldly reprimanded him: "Don't bite off more than you can chew. The Six Directions Great Wilderness Hand is extremely powerful. Your Uncle Hu Meng was able to perish together with two witch spirits with this palm. How dare you say that this palm technique is useless?"

But I can't blame you. The Six Harmonies Great Wilderness Hand is indeed like that. There's not much difference between the fifth level of palm power and the third level. It's no wonder you have this idea.

Let me put it this way: the power of the Six Harmonies Great Wilderness Hand only undergoes an astonishing change after being cultivated to the sixth level. It's not impossible for a single palm strike at the sixth level to kill a mid-stage Divine Illumination Realm martial artist.

If your own cultivation is sufficient, like your Uncle-Master Hu Meng, even a Core Formation cultivator couldn't withstand a single palm strike.

"..."

Lin Jue was startled, not expecting that the sixth level of the Six Harmonies Great Wilderness Hand would have such power. But after pondering for a moment, he still wanted to acquire another martial art.

He had inquired and learned that his cheap master had once been in charge of all the martial arts at Tianwu Academy, so he was sure he could get something good from him.

Looking at this stubborn disciple, Zhong Liang would have loved to kick him if there hadn't been outsiders present.

However, he reconsidered. While trying to do too much at once might lead to failure, sometimes more can be better. So he sighed helplessly, pointed to the cabinet beside him, and shook his head, saying:

"Sigh, what can I do? I'm a kind-hearted teacher. If you want one, just go and pick one yourself!"

However, remember that you can only choose the second-level manuals. The first-level manuals are for those below the Divine Power Realm and are not suitable for you.

The second level is the Divine Illumination Realm Manual, which you should be about to break through to the next level, so it's perfect timing.

As for the third floor, don't even think about it for now.

One should not be overly ambitious.

"Thank you so much, Master!"

Lin Jue was overjoyed and quickly bowed to express his gratitude again. He then hurried to Zhong Liang's treasure cabinet and curiously began rummaging through the second shelf.

Watching the young man intently perusing the manual, the young woman Jiang Luan'er, who was sitting upright observing him, suddenly asked curiously, "Senior Brother Zhong, how old is your disciple?"

Zhong Liang was writing a letter with his head down when he heard Jiang Luan'er's question. He casually replied, "If I remember correctly, this kid should be twenty-three this year."

"Twenty-three?"

The young woman, Jiang Luan'er, couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on her face. She smiled and said, "A 23-year-old Divine Illumination Realm martial artist is quite talented. It seems that Senior Brother Zhong has taken on a good disciple."

Hearing this, Zhong Liang was pleased, but he didn't show it on his face. He casually replied, "This kid is currently at the peak of the Divine Power Realm. As for the Divine Illumination Realm, it's not that simple. It's still far from being achieved."

Hearing this, Jiang Luan couldn't help but smile again. "Senior Brother Zhong always has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. You probably already have a way to help him break through."

At this moment, Lin Jue, who overheard the young woman talking to his master, was also delighted. If what the young woman said was true, then his cheap master really loved his disciple!

To Lin Jue's surprise, Zhong Liang did not continue the discussion on the matter. Instead, after writing the letter, he handed it to the young woman to take away, taking the opportunity to send away this old friend who loved to expose his past.

Before he knew it, Lin Jue had already read through all the martial arts manuals on the second floor of the treasure cabinet. He was overwhelmed by the variety of styles and techniques and didn't know which one to choose.

"Among what I have learned so far, the close-combat technique is Pine Crane Long Fist, but this style is rather weak and long, good for defense but not for offense."

The Zhao family's Blood Saber technique emphasizes nourishing one's nature with blood. Its swordsmanship is fierce and powerful. When facing an enemy, one attacks with all one's might, leaving no room for retreat. Although this swordsmanship is ruthless, if one cannot defeat the enemy in one strike, one will suffer the consequences.

As Master said, the Six Harmonies Great Wilderness Hand can only unleash its full power when one reaches the sixth level of palm strength.

Lin Jue secretly listed and analyzed all the martial arts he had learned, and finally focused his attention on a manual called "Three-Part Return to Origin Qi".

According to the introduction on the first page of this technique, the Three-Part Returning to Origin Qi is actually a divine skill that combines three martial arts techniques.

The three martial arts are the powerful and long-lasting Wind God Leg, the fierce and powerful Cloud Dispelling Palm, and the cold and sinister Heavenly Frost Fist.

Once you have mastered all three martial arts and integrated them, you will be able to comprehend the Three-Part Returning to Origin Qi.

If one can cultivate this technique to the highest level of Three Elements Unification, one can not only condense a protective aura, but also, with the Three Elements True Qi, have a chance to be resurrected as long as one's head is still intact.

Lin Jue never expected that his master's treasure cabinet contained such heaven-defying cultivation techniques, especially the final immortality technique, which was in no way inferior to the cultivation techniques of the six sects.

However, the reason he chose this technique was actually because of his identity as a transmigrator. He never expected to encounter a martial arts manual in this world that he never dared to dream of before.

Thinking of this, Lin Jue, holding the manual, said to Zhong Liang, who was reading, "Master, I've made my choice. I want this manual!"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Liang slightly opened his eyes and squinted at the martial arts manual in Lin Jue's hand. The next second, he suddenly opened his eyes wide, stood up with a look of surprise on his face, and walked towards him. He said solemnly, "Are you sure you want to choose this thing?"

"As your teacher, I can remind you that this technique is extremely difficult to master. It was given to Tianwu Mountain by the Grand Martial Master who founded the Inner Academy. I don't know where he obtained it from, and to this day, no one on Tianwu Mountain has ever learned the technique."

"It's alright, this disciple will take this one."

Lin Jue made his choice firmly.

Seeing this, Zhong Liang was slightly taken aback, but he didn't say anything more and nodded to Lin Jue.

And so, Lin Jue happily walked out of the main tent with the "Three-Part Return to Origin Qi" manual, preparing to return to his own tent to study this technique properly.

……

At this moment, Long Fei was hiding in Lin Jue's tent, already impatient with waiting. He was about to go out to see his master and see what his junior brother was doing when he suddenly heard someone walking towards the tent.

"Junior Brother Lin..."

Long Fei was overjoyed and quickly held his breath, intending to suddenly jump out and give Lin Jue a fright.

As the tent flap was lifted, Long Fei jumped out and punched the person in the chest.

He was surprised to find that his opponent hadn't moved an inch after taking his punch, and the feel of his fist was very strange, which startled Long Fei.

Why are Junior Brother Lin's pectoral muscles so soft?

With this thought in mind, Long Fei looked up and was immediately terrified.

The person who came was not Lin Jue at all, but the female cultivator, Aunt Jiang, whom the master respected the most!
