Starting from the Greyhound, seventy-two changes.

In a very simple and rustic house in the outer city of Baojiao County, Chen Ku bowed and said:
"Master, please accept my disciple Chen Ku's greetings."

The joy in Shan Lingguan's eyes was about to overflow, but he did not agree immediately. Instead, he said in silence:

“Although I came to you in the hope of accepting you as my disciple, and now you have come to become my disciple, there are some things I still need to tell you in advance, about the origin of our Huangjue Sect, and the consequences and price of becoming my disciple.”

Chen Ku was slightly startled.

But he took a deep breath and said, "Please show me what I am doing, Senior."

There is really no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

"Don't be too nervous."

Seeing Chen Ku's mood suddenly tense, Shan Lingguan laughed and said:

"Go inside first and talk slowly."

After he finished speaking, he led Chen Ku and Qin Yu into the big room of his house respectively. There were only a few small benches inside. The tall old man sat on the small bench, pointed to the seats, and asked the two to sit down.

Then he began to say to Chen Ku:

"I guess, after hearing me introduce myself as the 'Huangjue Sect', you should have investigated privately, right? What was the result?"

"I didn't get any useful information. I only heard that Huangjuemen supported one of the ten rebel kings back then..." Chen Ku said honestly.

"This is normal."

Shan Lingguan said slowly:
"Two hundred years ago, it was the end of the Hong Dynasty. Rebel kings rose up everywhere, and righteous flags were raised everywhere. At a glance, all of them were heroes who rose up and wanted to conquer the magnificent country. Among them was a rebel king called 'Yi Wang', also known as Sun Dan Gui. He was the lord of a prefecture where my Huangjue Sect was located. Because his grandson was killed by the river supervisor of the Hong Dynasty, he rose up in anger. My Huangjue Sect knew him well, understood his benevolence and righteousness, and felt that he had the potential to be a wise ruler, so we wanted to go down the mountain to assist him in achieving hegemony. "It is known that the rebel kings at that time were all heroes. Although Yi Wang quickly occupied a state of Hong Dynasty and proclaimed himself king, it didn't take long before Xia Wang Pei Dongliu captured Hongdu, and the world entered a chaotic era with various kings fighting for hegemony. Yi Wang, as the rebel king with the middle power among the ten rebel kings, was the first to be swallowed up. After Yi Wang was killed, our Huangjue Sect was also destroyed because we did not cut off the sect in time. Dou Shentong, the 'Le Wang' who killed Yi Wang, led his army to break through the mountain gate, resulting in the destruction of the sect."

This was the first time that Chen Ku heard about the turbulent times before the founding of the Daji Dynasty.

He was not particularly familiar with the history of this world. He only knew that the Ji Dynasty had been in existence for 156 years. The Taizu Emperor was named Yang Yin. After he conquered the world, he died unexpectedly for unknown reasons. The throne was inherited by his younger brother, Yang Jiong, who is still in power today.

Before the Ji State, there was the Hong Dynasty, which lasted for more than 400 years.

Between the Ji Dynasty and the Hong Dynasty, there was a period of more than 50 years of chaos, when the chivalrous king Pei Dongliu, the Ji Dynasty's Taizu Yang Yin and other rebel kings existed at the same time.

Chen Ku was secretly shocked.

He didn't expect that he was related to the treasure of the chivalrous king Pei Dongliu. When he wanted to become his disciple, he was involved in the subordinates of another rebel king, Wang Yi, Sun Tan Gui.

This means that the Huangjue Sect failed to judge people, which led to the destruction of the sect and the death of many people.

But he didn't know what the old man's words had to do with him.
“Although Prince Yi Sun Dangui was not the main enemy of Emperor Taizu Yang Yin in those days, and there was no conflict or contradiction between the two princes, it is now the period of the founding of the Great Ji Dynasty after all. As the anti-prince faction at that time, the title of Huangjuemen can no longer be used.”

Shan Lingguan said slowly:
"I tell you this because I want to tell you that if you become my disciple and join my Huangjue Sect, there will be a hidden danger of the court discovering your identity. They may treat you as a traitor, or nothing may happen. It's hard to say. You have to be mentally prepared. Have you thought about it?"

Chen Ku thought to himself after hearing this:

"That's not a problem."

Since Grandmaster Qin Yuxian has been able to get to where he is today as a disciple of Huangjue Sect, and can even control the Qiulong Thirty-Six Martial Arts Competition, it shows that this identity issue is not a big problem.

"Disciple is prepared." Chen Ku said.

Seeing Chen Ku's answer, Shan Lingguan lowered his head and said, "That's good, let's talk about the second thing. This matter is related to the person you want to become a disciple of, that is, my special status in Huangjue Sect.

The story begins back in the past. The group of people who followed Prince Yi Sun Dangui down the mountain were actually the "insiders" of our Huangjue Sect. Originally, the insiders should not be exposed, but because those people did not do a good job, their whereabouts were exposed, and people targeted the sect, which led to the disaster of the sect being destroyed and exterminated."

"Face? Substance?" Chen pondered over these two words.

"People live their lives for the sake of face. The face must be clean and beautiful, without any dust on it. If blood is shed, it must seep into the inside so that outsiders cannot see it."

Shan Lingguan sighed and said:
"Some people care about appearance, and some people care about inside. Over the years, I have been responsible for the bloody business of the Huangjue Sect on its road to rebuilding and rising. So, if you decide to become my disciple, then in the entire Huangjue Sect, only you, Xiao Qin, and I will know about it. You can't tell anything to the outside world. Otherwise, the things I did will not only implicate you, but also expose the Huangjue Sect."

Chen thought hard.

This is easy to understand. Isn't it just secretly recruiting disciples?

Anyway, when you apprentice to learn a skill, you are learning a craft. As long as the master is real and the background is genuine, you can find someone to back you up when you are bullied, no matter whether outsiders know about it or not.

Qin Yuxian looked at Shan Lingguan with shame at this time and said, "Uncle Master, your lineage has done so much for me over the years. Now that I have a new junior brother, I can't let him hide it. Don't worry, even if I can't tell anyone, I will say that I am 'taking in a disciple on behalf of the master'. I will never let my junior brother follow me without a proper status in the future."

"Reputation is a minor matter, life and death is a major matter." Shan Lingguan said calmly, "How about you let Chen Ku choose? Are you willing to be your junior brother in public? Or are you willing to be your junior brother in secret?"

Chen Ku immediately responded, "Disciple has never liked to show off."

Since his rebirth, he has been doing things behind the scenes, such as hitting people with clubs and doing dirty things. If he were to stand on the dry shore openly, he would be restricted.

"Thinking about it this way, this identity of 'the inner lineage' is suitable for me. I am quiet and have no identity. I just nip the threat in the bud. Hmm, low-key and steady..."

Shan Lingguan smiled and pointed at Chen Ku and said, "I have seen you twice and I have seen clearly that you are cautious and very suitable for my path. Well, since you have decided to agree, and both things have been said in advance, today, in front of the ancestors of the Huangjue Sect, I will accept you as my disciple. Have some tea!"

Then he stood up and turned his back to a portrait in the lobby. It was a combination of several individual portraits, like portraits of ancestors, which were patched together from top to bottom, like the roots of a tree.

Chen Ku looked at the tea set that had been prepared beside him, walked forward respectfully, filled a cup of tea, held the cup with both hands, came to Shan Lingguan, bowed, and said:
"Please give me some tea, Master!"

Qin Yu first saw his uncle drinking the tea in his cup and confirming the master-disciple relationship. He was delighted and happy. He also took out a pill box from his sleeve and said:

"Junior brother, you will be a member of Huangjue Sect from now on. I have prepared a gift for you. I see that you have reached the peak of the third realm. This is a 'Dragon and Tiger Doubling Energy Pill', which will be of great help to you when you break through to the 'Open Meridians' realm." Chen Ku looked at the pill. Although he was familiar with various pills at the Yaowang Hall in Baojiao County, he had never heard of this kind of pill.

Shan Lingguan said with a smile: "Hurry up and accept it. Xiao Qin, this is a generous gift. This Dragon Tiger Multiplier Pill is a top-grade elixir of the fourth level. It can increase your internal energy several times when you break through. It can be said that at the breakthrough point before the fifth level, with this elixir, the difficulty of your breakthrough will drop sharply."

Chen Ku was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly accepted it, saying gratefully, "Thank you, Senior Brother Qin."

When he called out the three words "Senior Brother Qin", his mind was a little dazed.

President of Qiulong Martial Arts Association.

The great master Qin Yuxian had actually become his 'senior brother'.

Qin Yu smiled and said nothing more, "I have heard that you have a five-element spirit body, unparalleled divine power, and spiritual abilities. I estimate that you are qualified to practice the three unique skills of the Huangjue Sect. However, for now, you should follow your uncle to practice the 'Huntian Tyrant Body'. When you have cultivated the first level of the Huntian Tyrant Body, come to me and I will teach you the other two world-class martial arts, 'Giant Spirit Hammer' and 'Shaking God Technique'."

Three peerless martial arts!

Chen Ku's heart beat faster, and he suddenly felt the benefits of becoming a disciple coming one after another.

"Okay, Xiao Qin, you probably have a lot of things to do over there, so go and get busy first."

Shan Lingguan didn't want to delay Qin Yuxian for too long, so he said:

"Since he is my disciple, I will teach him."

"Take care, uncle. I'll take my leave first."

Before leaving, Qin Yu looked at Chen Ku and said:
"But if you have any difficulties, just come to me and I will solve them all."

Chen Ku was so shocked by the Grandmaster's domineering words that he didn't know what to say.

"Brother, walk slowly."

Send Qin Yu away first and then.

"Okay, now it's our private time. Without further ado, let me feel your bones and see how much divine power you have."

After Shan Lingguan finished speaking, he didn't waste any words and put one hand on Chen Ku's shoulder, silently performing the Huangjue Sect's bone-touching method to test how strong Chen Ku's bones were.

Chen Ku didn't understand what it meant and just stood there.

But the old man lifted Chen Ku's shoulders with one hand. The more he lifted, the more shocked he looked. He said:

"One dragon... two dragons... three dragons..."

Looking at Chen Ku again, the look in his eyes was extremely incredible:

“If you haven’t practiced the Shaking God Technique, you will have the power of three dragons. If you practiced the Shaking God Technique, wouldn’t it mean that at the seventh level, you will have the power of ten dragons and ten elephants?”

"The God-Shaking Art?" Chen Ku was curious. Is this what Grandmaster Qin Yuxian learned?

"It seems that what Xiao Qin said is right. You may really inherit all three of the unrivaled inheritances of our Huangjue Sect. However, before that..."

Shan Lingguan said:
"I'd better teach you the secret of the Hun Tian Ba ​​Ti first. This is the most important martial art of my Huang Jue Sect. Although the strength increase is not as fast as the Han Shen Jue in the early stage, every time you pass a level, you will gain more natural power in your energy. For example, after you master the first level of the Huoyun Jue, your physique will become the Li Huo Gong Ti, and the internal energy in your body will become the masculine and domineering Li Huo Zhen Qi. From then on, when you fight with others, every move will bring you the lava energy to burn the enemy without using your luck, and you will be invincible!"

"Gongti?" Chen Ku was curious: "Master, may I ask, what is Gongti?"

He could understand the meaning of internal energy and true energy.

But this is the first time I have heard the word "gongti".

"The so-called Kung Fu is the concept of integrating the internal energy of martial arts and physical fitness into one. From then on, martial arts no longer need to be deliberately circulated to perform, but become as simple as breathing naturally."

Shan Lingguan gave an example and said:
"Just like some of the special demons you have seen, they have not practiced any martial arts, but can spit out thunder and lightning while breathing naturally. This is their natural constitution and innate ability. We humans are not born with many supernatural powers, so we can only 'transform' martial arts into the foundation of our constitution and make it a part of our body. In layman's terms, it is called 'rebuilding the constitution'. This is the ultimate path of martial arts. When reaching the eleventh level of martial arts, almost everyone has their own 'martial arts true body', which is everyone's martial arts body."

"And the Hun Tian Ba ​​Ti of our Huang Jue Sect is such a skill that leads directly to the eleventh realm of martial arts. The first nine levels are divided into fire, earth, metal, water, wood, wind, thunder, yin, and yang. Gathering nine kinds of natural energy, condensing nine different skills, reaching the ninth level of martial arts, and then at the tenth level, 'Hun Tian Condensed One', and the eleventh level 'Transformed Ba Ti'."

"According to the records of Huangjue Sect, once someone can successfully cultivate a Tyrant Body, then the Hun Tian Tyrant Body martial art can leap into the level of divine power. It is even in the eleventh realm of martial arts, and has the power to crush other true bodies."

Chen Ku listened.

I couldn’t help but ask:

"It sounds like it's been a long time since anyone has mastered the Hegemon Body?"

Shan Lingguan sighed and said, "This is why I must come to you to accept you. The practice of Tyrant Body is too difficult. It is necessary to gather all nine kinds of body skills before practicing. The 'Tyrant King' who created this martial art was born with Tyrant Body. Although there was a reincarnated Tyrant King later, his starting point was at least seven kinds of spiritual roots... In the thousand-year history of Huangjue Sect, there are not many people like me or you who have the five elements body, so it is difficult for Tyrant Body to appear in the world."

After Chen Ku heard this, he thought to himself, "I got my five-element spirit body from the peacock. If that's the case, then in the future, I only need to find four more demons with wind, thunder, yin, and yang constitutions to add to the transformation diagram, and then I may be able to regain the starting point of the hegemony body cultivation?"

“Not much to say, I will now teach you the first level of the Hun Tian Ba ​​Ti. Since you have the internal energy of the third realm peak, you only need to transform your internal energy into Li Huo Zhen Qi, and then integrate the Li Huo Zhen Qi into your foundation, and you will be able to cultivate the 'Li Huo Gong Ti.'" After Shan Lingguan said this, he began to teach Chen Ku the secret formula.

The first level of Hun Tian Ba ​​Ti only had a formula of more than 3,000 words, which was quickly passed on:

"Then I will teach you a domineering fighting style called 'Thousand and One'. It contains 1,101 moves and 1,101 variations. There is no rush to master it. This is a slow skill that tests your martial arts aptitude. When you are able to integrate more than a thousand variations into one move, then this fighting style will be perfected."

It took Shan Lingguan only an incense stick of time to teach Chen Ku the Hun Tian Ba ​​Ti, but it took him a whole night to teach him the 'Qian Yi' fighting method.

Fortunately, Chen Ku's mental strength helped him remember all the moves after one try. (End of this chapter)
