Chapter 20: Comprehension
How many times should I watch it?
Ma Yu was a little confused when he heard this. He couldn't understand how such a superior martial art could be taught to be the most suitable for him just by watching it a few times.
Isn't it all based on the name, or at most, on whether one prefers swordsmanship or palm techniques, and then just randomly choose one to practice?
However, since Qian Jin is Zhou Shishu's disciple, let him take a look if he wants to!
Thinking of this, Ma Yu immediately smiled and nodded, saying:
"Since you wish to choose carefully, junior brother, then I will take you to see them. I wonder if you prefer swordsmanship or palm techniques?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin said:
"We'll only know after we've seen them all!"
"..."
Soon, Qian Jin, led by Ma Yu, arrived at the forbidden area of the Quanzhen Sect.
Besides enshrining the patriarch Chongyang, this place also houses many martial arts manuals of the Quanzhen School.
Ma Yu first led Qian Jin to pay homage to Patriarch Chongyang, and then brought over three secret manuals: the One Sword Transforms into Three Pure Ones Sword Technique, the Frost-Treading and Ice-Breaking Palm Technique, and the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Palm Technique.
Qian Jin first took the One Sword Transforms into Three Pure Ones Sword Technique in his hand and examined it carefully.
This sword technique can split into three consecutive strikes within a single move. If mastered to its highest level, it can split into up to nine sword energies.
It is definitely a top-level swordsmanship.
Qian Jin quickly read through the entire book carefully, but before he could read it a second time, Ma Yu suddenly asked:
"Junior Brother Qian, do you like this One Sword Transforms into Three Pure Ones Sword Technique?"
"Well... I'll take another look."
Seeing that Ma Yu was staring at him, Qian Jin finally felt embarrassed to continue reading it a second time. After hesitating for a moment, he picked up the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Palm again and began to read it carefully.
According to the introduction, the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Palm is the most powerful palm technique of the Quanzhen Sect, but it is also the most difficult palm technique to master.
This time, as soon as Qian Jin finished reading it once, Ma Yu immediately asked:
"Junior Brother Qian, do you like this Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Palm Technique?"
"I, your senior brother, have also studied this palm technique to some extent. If you, junior brother, choose this palm technique, you can always ask me if you have any questions in the future."
"Hmm... Let me take another look at this Frost-Treading Ice-Breaking Palm Technique before making a decision."
Qian Jin replied, then picked up the Frost-Treading Ice-Breaking Palm Technique again and began to read it carefully.
After Qian Jin finished reading it once, Ma Yu came over to ask him questions again, leaving Qian Jin feeling quite helpless.
He could only say:
"These three unique skills each have their own strengths, and I really can't choose one for the time being. How about this, let me take another look, and maybe I can choose one from these three unique skills."
After saying that, without waiting for Ma Yu's reaction, he picked up the "One Sword Transforms into Three Pure Ones" sword again and continued reading.
And so it goes.
Through Qian Jin's tireless efforts, he finally finished reading all three martial arts techniques three times, and his proficiency panel once again showed three more martial arts techniques.
One Sword Transforms into Three Pure Ones (Newcomer): 0%
Frost-Treading and Ice-Breaking Palm (Newcomer): 0%
Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Palm (Beginner): 0%
Looking at the long list of martial arts skills on his proficiency panel, Qian Jin was very satisfied.
Regardless of whether you have time to cultivate it to the highest level, you must be able to do it. Even if you don't practice it, it's still enjoyable to watch.
Seeing that Qian Jin stood there in a daze after reading it three times, Ma Yu couldn't help but come over again and ask:
"Junior Brother Qian, you've already reviewed these three unique skills three times. I wonder if you've chosen your favorite?"
Qian Jin nodded upon hearing this and said:
"I've made my choice. Since my senior brother just said he has some knowledge of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Palm, I might as well choose it!"
If I have any questions in the future, I can ask my senior brother for guidance.
"..."
Ma Yu couldn't understand why Qian Jin, having taken his advice and chosen the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Palm Technique, would repeatedly study these martial arts techniques so many times.
Because Qian Jin read them one by one, without any particular order, there was naturally no forced memorization involved.
Although she had doubts, Ma Yu did not ask them.
Back in the main hall, Ma Yu smiled and said:
"Junior Brother Qian, although this Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Palm Technique is powerful, it is also the most difficult palm technique to cultivate in our Quanzhen Sect."
My senior brother has been practicing this palm technique for decades. Although he has never been able to reach its peak, he has gained many insights.
"Now that you've chosen this palm technique, junior brother, why don't you listen to me explain it to you first? It'll be much faster than you trying to figure it out on your own."
Qian Jin initially wanted to refuse upon hearing this.
However, upon further reflection, if his senior brother knew that he had only watched it three times and had already grasped the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Palm Technique, he would be in trouble.
Then all his actions just now have been exposed.
Besides, Ma Yu had been by his side the whole time he was learning these three martial arts, and now that the other party was being so kind, he couldn't very well refuse.
So he had no choice but to agree, and then quietly sat down at the lower end of the table to listen to Ma Yu explain the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Palm Technique to him.
It must be said that Ma Yu has been immersed in the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Palm Technique for decades, and his understanding of this palm technique is extremely profound.
After listening to the story once, Qian Jin was immediately inspired.
Even the proficiency panel in my mind increased by 10%.
Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Palm (Beginner): 10%
Does this work too?
This rate of improvement is much faster than when he practiced alone in isolation.
So Qian Jin immediately refused to leave and pestered Ma Yu to tell him the story twice more before finally letting Ma Yu go and leaving the main hall of the sect with a satisfied heart.
Along the way, Qian Jin was still planning in his mind that when he had time, he would come back to learn the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Palm Technique from Ma Yu.
Not far away, they suddenly saw Yin Zhiping walking towards them.
"Disciple Yin Zhiping greets Uncle Qian."
Seeing Yin Zhiping respectfully bow to him, Qian Jin smiled faintly and said:
"Haha, Nephew Yin, there's no need to be so polite."
By the way, I've been meaning to visit you these past few days, and I never expected to run into you here today! What a coincidence!
Yin Zhiping was completely bewildered by Qian Jin's words and couldn't help but say:
"Uncle Qian is joking. What merit do I, Yin Zhiping, have to make you personally come to see me?"
"If my master needs anything from me, please just send someone to inform me, and I will come immediately."
"Haha, Nephew Yin, you are mistaken."
Among the third-generation disciples of our Quanzhen Sect, although Zhao Zhijing has the strongest martial arts skills and is the eldest disciple, I do not like him.
But you are different. If you can devote yourself to the Dao and focus all your energy on cultivation, the position of leader of our Quanzhen Sect will surely belong to you in the future.
"Your senior uncle has high hopes for you!"
