The Great Martial Arts World: Hot Topics and Great Heroes

Now Little Dragon Girl is actually cultivating with Wang Yuyan? I have to say... that's pretty exciting.

However, Chu Luren was no longer concerned about whether it was exciting or not; he was equally worried about the safety of the two of them.

He had thought about correcting Xiaolongnu's idea before, but because he was not familiar with Xiaolongnu at the time, it would be difficult to gain people's trust if he directly talked about the Ancient Tomb Sect's "Jade Maiden Heart Sutra" or even Lin Chaoying's "privacy". Instead, he would only annoy people.

In addition, Chu Luren also remembered that in the original work, Xiaolongnü was only introduced to Yang Guo two years after he became Yang Guo's disciple, when Yang Guo's internal strength had reached a certain level. He was not in a hurry and just wanted to gradually reveal his thoughts to Xiaolongnü, thinking that this would make it easier for her to accept.

However, Chu Luren did not expect that Wang Yuyan was not only exceptionally talented, but also had a state of mind that was very easy to reach the "pure and desireless" stage of the "Jade Maiden Heart Sutra". With the help of the thousand-year-old ice bed, she made rapid progress!

According to Li Mochou, the two of them started trying the dual cultivation part of the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra a month ago.

Fortunately, Xiaolongnu was also worried that something might go wrong, so she often called on Li Mochou to protect the two of them...

It's no coincidence that Xiaolongnu went mad with evil spirits this time.

The main reason is that one's state of mind does not align with the "Jade Maiden Heart Sutra." However, if one can truly maintain a pure and desireless mind, at most, progress will be slow, but one will not go astray.

However, the birthday banquet two days ago caused Xiaolongnu's state of mind to waver, and she was no longer completely indifferent to joy or anger.

Normally, one doesn't need such a pure and clear mind to cultivate the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra. However... Little Dragon Girl relies entirely on a pure and clear mind to prevent herself from going astray, so the requirements are naturally higher!

Wang Yuyan was influenced by Xiaolongnu, which is why she hadn't gone into qi deviation. However, this time, when Xiaolongnu's mind was slightly disturbed, the two of them immediately went into qi deviation together. The Jade Maiden Heart Sutra has the effect of increasing lust during cultivation, and some actions are very intimate. Once a thought arises, it becomes uncontrollable...

Fortunately, this allowed Li Mochou to immediately realize that something was wrong between the two—after all, there was no actual kissing position in the martial arts manual!

Li Mochou intervened in time, interrupting their practice. However, since they had both suffered from qi deviation, the one who tied the knot must untie it. Therefore, they remained in the same position, with their palms facing each other to facilitate the circulation of their internal energy.

Other Li Mochou couldn't do much more...

"Can your technique that can control the internal energy of others be used to regulate their internal energy? We need to stabilize their internal energy now so that we can calm their emotions later!" Li Mochou revealed the reason why she had been looking forward to Chu Luren.

Internal energy can sometimes have a hormone-like effect—for example, practicing the Nine Yin White Bone Claw too much can make a person become sinister. This is not a coincidence, nor can all martial arts be explained by the principle of "it is righteous when used for righteous purposes and evil when used for evil purposes".

"I...I'll give it a try." Chu Luren's expression was solemn.

Using the Seven Illusory Rainbow Light Finger to control the internal energy of others, achieving a stable breathing effect?

It's too much of a stretch to imagine the micro-management achievable by the Seven Illusion Rainbow Fin

Seeing Chu Luren's expression, Li Mochou's expression also darkened, realizing that she had underestimated the situation!

However, Chu Luren still had to try—spreading out his arms, he moved closer, his hands reaching behind Wang Yuyan and Xiaolongnu. After all, this posture was somewhat difficult. Even though Chu Luren's arm span was not short, and he even used the bone-shrinking technique from the Nine Yin Manual to dislocate the joints of his arms and stretch them to their limit, he still had to almost touch them from the side to reach them.

It was as if he had embraced the two of them, but even Grandma Sun did not raise any objections and looked at him expectantly.

After a moment, Chu Luren's expression became even more solemn!

It can't be carried...

The ability to directly control the opponent's internal energy is something Chu Luren is currently incapable of. Moreover, judging from the two attacks just now, Wang Yuyan and Xiaolongnu's conditions are becoming increasingly critical, and they are at risk of dying at any moment.

"What's wrong? Is it not working?" Li Mochou became anxious, and Granny Sun, who was standing to the side, was completely at a loss.

“There’s another way… I’ll try to forcefully insert the most authentic ‘Jade Maiden Heart Sutra’ into their practice!” Chu Luren’s tone was serious and solemn.

Chapter 239 The Immortal Ape Takes the Peach

"Are you sure you can do it? Although I haven't practiced the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, I have read it. The dual cultivation part requires two people to cooperate in the practice. How can a third person forcefully insert themselves?" Li Mochou questioned, while also worrying that Chu Luren would get himself into trouble.

"No, I have my own way..."

Isn't it just forced dual cultivation?

The *Shenzu Jing* will suffice!

If he could merge the "Divine Foot Scripture" and the "Free Immortal Ape Scripture," and guide them with his own will, Chu Luren was confident that he could create a technique that could influence Wang Yuyan and Xiaolongnu...

After all, the "Free and Easy Immortal Ape Scripture" also includes the "Jade Maiden Heart Sutra," and is even the most authentic "Jade Maiden Heart Sutra" that is paired with the "Complete True Heart Method." With the "Divine Foot Scripture" as a fitting interface, we are still 50% confident!

"Will you be in danger?" Li Mochou asked directly.

"At most, it will damage my vital energy, but it won't be fatal." Chu Luren said, gritting his teeth as he began the fusion process.

Because a state of sudden enlightenment is needed for conscious guidance, Li Mochou clearly sensed the change in the art style and understood that Chu Luren had begun...

Chu Luren was not lying—it certainly wouldn't be fatal. The worst outcome for him would be to suffer a qi deviation along with others. However, he was doing this using the "Dream God's" meridians. Even if he suffered a qi deviation to the extreme, it would only mean that the Dream God's meridians were destroyed!

Indeed, this was a very serious loss for the Chu Lu people, meaning their strength was greatly reduced.

If it were for the sake of increasing his strength, Chu Luren would never take that risk. But now it's for the lives of two friends, one of whom is Wang Yuyan, whom he has a "guardian responsibility" for—this is worth it.

After Chu Luren carefully guided the fusion process, he almost choked on his own blood when he saw the fusion badge...

A celestial ape stealing peaches?

Could this be an evolved version of "The Monkey Steals the Peaches"?

Why would a "pile" of profound internal skills fuse to create this thing?

Could it be that the Indian monk who created the "Divine Foot Sutra" was causing trouble because of the language barrier?

Besides exchanging it for the "Tiger Claw Hand" with Yu Lianzhou, does it serve any other purpose?

Especially now, it's a small matter that Chu Luren has lost two profound martial arts techniques, but it's a big problem that he has to delay guiding Wang Yuyan and Xiaolongnu to heal their injuries!

Chu Luren suppressed his impatience and briefly considered what exactly this "Immortal Ape Stealing Peaches" was...

Wait, it seems like there's been a misunderstanding!

Chu Luren discovered that although the name was terrible, it was not an evolved version of "Monkey Stealing Peaches," nor did it have anything to do with the martial arts of stealing things.

Essentially, this is still internal skill, and it is still similar to the "Free and Easy Immortal Ape Scripture". It only has the ability to absorb "nutrients" from the outside world - the Immortal Ape Takes Peaches. The "peaches" refer to the essence absorbed from the outside world, and do not refer to anything strange or vulgar!

Chu Luren was overjoyed and quickly began to circulate his internal energy... His comprehension was also up to par, so he didn't need to suddenly realize it!

Overjoyed, Chu Luren began the most important step.

He placed his palms on Wang Yuyan and Xiaolongnu's backs again, this time forcibly inserting his energy into their movements—not by using the "Seven Illusions Rainbow Light Finger Force" to forcibly wrap their internal energy, but by truly integrating his own internal energy into their interaction!

The "Divine Foot Scripture" itself is a forced and predatory dual cultivation technique; otherwise, the Cold Silkworm wouldn't have willingly been drained dry by You Tanzhi...

Chu Luren is currently only using the former characteristic to forcibly incorporate himself into Wang Yuyan and Xiaolongnu's internal energy circulation—of course, he can't do the second one either. The Divine Foot Scripture is for dual cultivation with non-humans, and humans with strong self-awareness are not so easily forced into dual cultivation. "Immortal Ape Taking Peaches" also inherits this characteristic.

Chu Luren merely used this characteristic to allow himself to intervene. His next task was not to forcibly guide the two to circulate their internal energy, but rather to gradually restore them to the perfect state of the "Jade Maiden Heart Sutra" by following their rhythm of energy circulation...

At this point, there was actually a certain degree of danger for the Chu Lu people.

If the two of them were to turn against him and lead him astray, then all three of them would suffer from qi deviation. Even if Chu Luren himself was not in mortal danger, his Dream God Body would most likely be ruined!

Chu Luren did indeed find himself in a very dangerous situation along the way, but fortunately he was quick-witted and realized that he could not take the initiative with the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra alone, so... he took the opportunity to reveal the nature of the Complete True Heart Method!

Lin Chaoying's original fantasy was to cultivate with Wang Chongyang, but Chu Luren used the "Quanzhenxin Method" to immediately regain control of the situation.

At the same time, just like when the two of them were confused before, no matter how they looked at the peerless face opposite them, they felt lust rising within them, and even couldn't help but touch lips and teeth, under the influence of the cultivation technique, the two of them began to develop a strong sense of attachment to Chu Luren who had entered their lives midway...

After all, Chu Luren's version is not the evil version of "Heart as Pure as Ice," but is closer to the authentic "Jade Maiden Heart Sutra"!

Fortunately, it was a close call.

With Chu Luren's intervention, the pace of dual cultivation... no, it should be said that triple cultivation gradually stabilized.

After their internal energy circulation returned to normal, it was as if their hormonal imbalance had also been restored, and Wang Yuyan and Xiaolongnu gradually regained their composure.

Li Mochou watched nervously for a long time, but when she saw that Chu Luren's expression remained unchanged, and that Wang Yuyan and Xiaolongnu's expressions gradually relaxed, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Luren worked for more than two hours to completely straighten out the two people's internal energy.

Huang Rong and Mu Wanqing, having discovered that Chu Luren was not there and that no one else had come out, were worried that something had happened and rushed in as well. The mechanisms of the ancient tomb were ultimately unpredictable, and Huang Rong, with her excellent memory, was already able to move freely in the passageways connecting the inside and outside after going through them a few times with Granny Sun!

Huang Rong and Mu Wanqing also learned of the situation and were anxiously waiting in the room with the Thousand-Year Ice Bed...

Finally, after two and a half hours, Chu Luren opened his eyes and withdrew his hands. Wang Yuyan and Xiaolongnu... were just getting rid of the influence and were still half awake!

As the two groggily opened their eyes, their gazes still brimming with affection, they turned to look at Chu Luren, feeling an increasing intimacy... even a surge of passion!

Under the watchful eyes of Li Mochou, Huang Rong, Mu Wanqing, Granny Sun, Hong Lingbo… the two women, their faces flushed, didn't need to speak; their eyes conveyed unspoken affection. They moved closer to Chu Luren's face, seemingly about to kiss him…

Li Mochou and the others were initially delighted, but then... they were completely stunned, and no one had time to interrupt them!

But at that moment, Chu Luren, who was still conscious, acted swiftly. With lightning speed, he extended both hands with sword-like fingers, bypassing the shoulders of the two women, and struck each of them on a major acupoint on their necks. The two women immediately fainted...

"Phew, that's good. They still need to rest and recuperate. This finger stroke will help them sleep a little longer!" Chu Luren breathed a sigh of relief, keeping his accomplishment hidden.

Chapter 240 Guidance

Chu Luren used the "Immortal Ape Stealing Peaches" technique to help Xiaolongnu and Wang Yuyan escape the predicament of going into demonic possession.

Although both of them were inevitably exhausted, after a good night's sleep, they were mostly fine.

Originally, Wang Yuyan and Xiaolongnu were quite ashamed of their behavior when they went into a state of demonic possession, and avoided Chu Luren, unwilling to see him. However, they later discovered...

No need to hide, Chu Luren is in seclusion and won't come out at all!

Half a month later, Chu Luren took the initiative to approach the two of them during a break from seclusion and brought up the matter of the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra.

Chu Luren took the initiative to invite the two to talk, which made Wang Yuyan and Xiaolongnu, who had calmed down a bit, feel a little at a loss. Xiaolongnu seemed to have no reaction, but her fingers, which were tucked into her sleeves, were constantly twirling the white silk ribbon. Granny Sun became even more cautious.

However, Granny Sun then thought about it again, and the scene of Chu Luren quickly knocking out Wang Yuyan and Xiaolongnu flashed through her mind, and she felt that there was nothing to be careful about...

However, Granny Sun did not follow, but Li Mochou, for some reason, also came along. Chu Luren didn't pay much attention to it, after all, he was perfectly aboveboard.

"Brother Chu! How was your seclusion? What happened before... thankfully you were there." Wang Yuyan said somewhat shyly.

They are too shy to get too close, yet unwilling to appear distant, just like the middle school student who was confessed to yesterday—even though the person who confessed was a bit of a "jerk," disappearing for half a month after the confession!

"I'm only practicing some basic techniques in seclusion; there's no danger," Chu Luren said, sounding like he was saying, "I won't suffer a qi deviation."

"It was my recklessness that almost harmed Junior Sister Wang. Fortunately, Young Master Chu's attainments in the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra are quite profound." Little Dragon Girl, being straightforward, thought Chu Luren was criticizing her and said with some shame.

Chu Luren was also quite moved, as Li Mochou and Xiaolongnu, her fellow disciples, now addressed him as "Young Master," a rare occurrence!

When I first started out, I was often called that. Now, many people don't even want to call me "Young Hero," and they just call me "Chu Tai Sui"... Tsk tsk.

Of course, Li Mochou's use of "Young Master Chu" was mostly a deliberate sarcasm. After all, Chu Luren was traveling with Li Mochou when the nickname "Red and White Tai Sui" first became popular, so she knew that Chu Luren didn't like the nickname. Therefore, she deliberately called him "Young Master Chu" as a form of irony.

Little Dragon Girl didn't have so many thoughts. She just followed her senior sister's address—after all, her junior sister's "Brother Chu" seemed too intimate, and Little Dragon Girl certainly wouldn't use such an affectionate term.

Upon hearing what Xiaolongnu said, Chu Luren quickly replied, "It's not entirely the fault of Sect Leader Long; perhaps even our master hasn't grasped the true essence of the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra!"

If Chu Luren had said this half a month ago, Xiaolongnu would probably not have felt "indignant" or "disdainful," but she probably wouldn't have taken it seriously.

However, upon hearing Chu Luren's words, Xiaolongnu asked in a daze, "Please enlighten me, Young Master Chu."

"I dare not presume to offer my guidance. This 'Jade Maiden Heart Sutra' was actually taught to me by Sect Leader Long..."
