Under One Person: The Frog Cubs Gave Me Insulation Claws at the Start

Upon hearing this, Feng Tianci showed a thoughtful expression.

After a moment, he asked tentatively:

"Joining the new Jie Sect and becoming a person of superior aptitude should bring many benefits, right?"

"Like... magical artifacts or something?"

Ma Xianhong, and a group of highly accomplished individuals: ...

Qiu Rang: So... you came here just to get the magic weapon, right?!

Chapter 85 Bi Yuan: With such a rebellious disciple, can heart-saving pills be eaten as food?

Faced with Ma Xianhong's warm invitation, Feng Tianci's words silenced them all.

Several seconds later, Ma Xianhong coughed lightly twice to ease the awkwardness, saying:

"Although magical artifacts are very precious to other artifact refiners."

"But for me, it was relatively easy."

"I wonder what kind of magical artifacts Brother Feng prefers?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Tianci first showed a thoughtful expression, and then said:

"It's the jade pendant you gave me last time; it's quite useful."

"Unfortunately, it was broken when it was used in a fight with someone else."

"How about this, give me a little more, not too much, just a hundred or eighty will do."

Ma Xianhong, Shang Genqi: ? ? ?

Dude, are you out of your mind?

Does he expect a hundred or eighty just by opening his mouth?

So you think this is a wholesale market, and you're here to buy goods?!

But I have to admit, your chatting style is really down-to-earth, you're practically talking to death, aren't you!

Feng Tianci's words made the atmosphere, which had just eased, awkward again.

Even someone as idealistic as Ma Xianhong felt an urge to pull out a knife.

“Brother Feng, although I have mastered the Divine Refinement Technique and can easily forge magical artifacts.”

"But I have more important things to do recently, so I can't be distracted for the time being."

"How about this, I'll give you two protective magic items first, and then send a few Ruhuas to protect you."

He paused, then took out a food pouch from his robes and said, "Also, this is Divine Refinement Hundred Times; you can take a look at it first."

"With your aptitude, if you have a talent for weapon crafting, you should be able to learn it easily."

"At that time, you will be able to forge your own protective magic weapons, and even all kinds of powerful magic treasures."

Seeing Ma Xianhong's magnanimity, Feng Tianci couldn't help but feel moved for a mere 0.01 seconds!

As for the group of highly talented individuals, no one stepped forward to stop them.

Even Qiu Rang, who harbored resentment towards Feng Tianci, remained calm.

Because as long as a new member is recruited and possesses a certain talent for weapon crafting, Ma Xianhong will generously gift them the Divine Refinement Hundred Treasures.

This is why he created "New Jie," adhering to the teachings of the Jie Sect: education for all.

"Forget it." Feng Tianci looked at the Devouring Pouch and waved his hand: "Old Bi once told me that as a naturally gifted person, I cannot cultivate acquired techniques."

Upon hearing this, Ma Xianhong was taken aback and looked at Bi Yuan in surprise.

Not only him, but everyone else present also looked over in confusion.

Even Bi Yuan himself was stunned for a few seconds before saying angrily, "When did I ever say that to you?"

"What I said before was that it is extremely difficult for people with innate extraordinary abilities to cultivate acquired skills, unless they find one that suits them."

"This involves whether the flow of Qi is compatible. Otherwise, even if you have the aptitude, you will achieve nothing even if you cultivate for a lifetime!"

Finally, Bi Yuan straightened his hunched back and, leaning on his cane, said:

"You brat! You didn't listen carefully when I was teaching you, and now you're blaming me!"

It's no wonder he was so angry.

Although he didn't teach many disciples in his lifetime, they included Ding Shian, one of the two great masters, and Gong Qing, the acting leader of Quanxing.

Even Ma Xianhong today, which one of them isn't extremely outstanding?

Of course, this doesn't mean that Feng Tianci is bad.

But to say something so utterly absurd in public—isn't that just ruining his reputation?!

You traitor!

Seeing that Bi Yuan was about to have a stroke from anger, Feng Tianci hurriedly smiled apologetically and said, "Oh, I see. I thought I wouldn't be able to master the acquired skills."

As he spoke, he snatched Ma Xianhong's food pouch and played with it in his hand with a grin on his face.

Everyone's mouths twitched when they saw his actions.

Are you genuinely unaware, or are you just pretending?

It feels like they're afraid others will find out you're a naturally gifted person, and that you've publicly obtained the Divine Refinement Hundred Treasures, so they'll gossip about you behind your back?

Regardless, Feng Tianci showed no politeness and directly stuffed the food pouch into his pocket.

Fortunately, Ma Xianhong broke the silence first, smiling calmly and saying:

"I hope you can master the Divine Strategist's Hundred Refinements, then I will have another great help to you."

"Let it be." Feng Tianci sighed and said with some emotion, "From childhood to adulthood, I have learned many martial arts techniques, but I have not achieved anything."

"It's been eighteen years, and I'm still trying, not to prove how great I am."

"I just want to prove myself and show others that it's not that your techniques are too difficult, it's just that my talent is limited!"

As he finished speaking, Feng Tianci's expression hardened and his eyes burned with passion.

Everyone:...

Brother, it's just learning a martial arts technique, isn't it?

Do you really need to make this so inspirational and uplifting?!

The key point is, isn't it normal that you, as a naturally gifted person, can't learn acquired skills?

Nobody said anything!

Within just a few minutes, everyone present was almost speechless.

Even Ma Xianhong hesitated several times, unable to say anything despite having a lot to say.

Forget it, destroy it...

Exhausted, Ma Xianhong sighed inwardly, his cheerful smile vanishing from his face.

He plopped down on the stool, looking somewhat annoyed, and said, "Let's eat!"

These two words, like heavenly music, entered everyone's ears.

The students, all of whom were highly accomplished, took their seats and quietly began to eat.

Only Bi Yuan, whose hand was clutching his heart, trembled a few times before turning around and saying:

"You guys eat, I'm going back to rest for a while."

But as soon as he finished speaking, Feng Tianci looked worried and said in a concerned tone, "Master, you're so old, it's such a waste to skip a meal!"

Upon hearing this, everyone froze on the spot, their expressions filled with astonishment.

Bi Yuan stood there, his face ashen, his hands gripping his cane trembling uncontrollably.

Look, look!

Is this even human language?

What do you mean that at my age, I'd be at a disadvantage if I skipped a meal?

So you mean I don't have many days left to live?

You traitor... I fucking thank you!!!

"Boy, from now on, don't call me master!"

Bi Yuan gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence.

But Feng Tianci seemed completely oblivious. He first feigned surprise, then shook his head and sighed:

“Master, I must have been distracted and didn’t hear your teachings clearly.”

"But don't let this affect your appetite, and don't feel guilty or ashamed to be my teacher!"

Bi Yuan: ? ? ?

How utterly shameless can you be to say something like that?

What, did I expel myself from the sect?

I've figured it out now, you're not just a traitor, you're defying the heavens!

At this moment, Bi Yuan had completely shut himself off, not wanting to say a word, and simply walked silently toward his room.

Unexpectedly, Feng Tianci persisted, shouting, "Master, you have to eat!"

"I'll eat it!" Bi Yuan gritted his teeth, almost roaring, "I'll go back and get my nitroglycerin pills to eat as food!!"
