Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 46
[Chapter 46: Induction]
After getting familiar with the new ability for a while, Lin Xiu put some loose silver and a dagger for self-defense in the space. When he walked into the yard, he saw Sun Dali lifting a stone lock.
In fact, from a certain perspective, the practice of the power art and the practice of martial arts are similar. Both are to temper the body, but one is to increase the Yuan force and the other is to cultivate the true qi.
If Sun Dali can get started in martial arts, then his future practice will be a double reward for one effort.
With the same training as usual, the Yuan force and the true qi can be increased at the same time.
What he lacks is just someone to lead him into the door of martial arts.
As Sun Dali is his guard, Lin Xiu naturally hopes that he will be as strong as possible, but he is not a student of the Academy of Arts, and he can’t enjoy the resources of the Academy of Arts for free like Lin Xiu, so he can only go through the outside.
Lin Xiu went back to the room to get some silver, walked into the yard again, and said, “Dali, come out with me.”
Juying Pavilion.
Juying Hall is a martial arts hall opened in the DC area of the royal capital. To be able to open such a martial arts hall in the DC area where every inch of land is worth a lot of money, the owner of this martial arts hall must have some power.
This is indeed the case.
The owner of Juying Hall is a ground-level warrior. Although his strength is only the lower ground-level, he is also equivalent to a master of magic who has awakened his magic five times. When he was young, he made some reputation in the martial arts world. Later, he retired from the martial arts world. With the connections he made in those years, he opened a martial arts hall in the royal capital and recruited many disciples. Now he has completely established a foothold in the royal capital of Daxia.
In addition to recruiting disciples, Juying Hall also does some other businesses.
For example, it helps people who have not practiced martial arts to get started, but the price is not cheap, which is not affordable for ordinary families.
Every time you just transfer a stream of true energy into someone’s body, you have to charge one hundred taels of silver, and it may not be successful. In the end, it may cost hundreds or even thousands of taels. Isn’t this robbing money? Later, Lin Xiu thought that someone was more ruthless than him in robbing money, so he didn’t complain in his heart.
Scarcity makes things valuable. For example, in the entire capital, only he and Lingyin possessed the art of ice. Therefore, when ice was scarce in summer, he could influence the price of ice in the capital by himself.
Similarly, because it was difficult for warriors to get started and practice, the number of warriors was less than that of magicians. High-level warriors were even more like rare animals. To introduce others to the art, one must at least have the strength of the earth level. Naturally, the bargaining power was in the hands of these high-level warriors.
Lin Xiu and Sun Dali had just walked into the Juying Pavilion when they saw a group of men with bare upper bodies.
These men were burly and had bulging muscles. They looked quite powerful. Every time they punched and kicked, they could bring bursts of air-breaking sounds, which frightened Lin Xiu.
A strong man saw them, strode over and asked, “What are you two doing?”
Lin Xiu said, “We are here to ask the director to draw our qi.”
The strong man glanced at them and said, “No matter whether we succeed or fail, we will pay one hundred taels of silver for each induction. No bargaining is allowed.”
Lin Xiu nodded and said, “We know the rules. We have brought the silver.”
The strong man looked at the wooden box in Sun Dali’s arms, shook his head, and said to the two, “Follow me.”
Lin Xiu and Sun Dali followed the strong man through the front hall and came to the backyard of Juying Pavilion.
As soon as he stepped into the backyard, Lin Xiu’s eyelids jumped.
He saw a tiger lying in the middle of the backyard. The tiger was at least ten feet long, tall and mighty, and looked very shocking at first glance.
But the tiger was a little listless now, lying on the ground powerlessly, and roaring in pain from time to time.
The sturdy man saw the changes in Lin Xiu and Sun Dali’s expressions, pulled the corners of his mouth in disdain, and said, “Don’t be afraid, this is our master’s mount. If you don’t provoke it, it won’t hurt anyone…”
Then, he walked to a sturdy middle-aged man standing in front of the tiger and said, “Master, these two people are here to draw your energy…”
The middle-aged man’s eyes were all on the tiger. He waved his hand impatiently and said, “Tell them to come another day. I’m not interested today.”
Although the sturdy man was helpless, he could only say to Lin Xiu and Sun Dali, “You also saw that my master said he is not interested today. You can come another day.”
Lin Xiu’s eyes were fixed on the tiger. At a certain moment, he suddenly said, “I can cure this tiger’s disease.”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man turned his head abruptly, looked at Lin Xiu and asked, “Can you cure it?”
Lin Xiu nodded and said, “Based on my many years of experience in treating animals, this tiger has a bone stuck in its throat. You just pry open its mouth and take out the bone.”
Sun Dali was completely confused. He had almost watched the young master grow up. How could he have many years of experience in treating animals?
The middle-aged man was very decisive. He sat on the tiger’s back, stretched out his hands, and pried the tiger’s mouth open. Although the tiger kept twisting its body in resistance, it was still firmly controlled by him.
The strong man looked into the tiger’s mouth and exclaimed: “Master, there is really a bone stuck there!”
After saying that, he directly reached his hand into the tiger’s mouth and soon removed a broken bone from the tiger’s throat. There was no foreign object in the throat. The tiger suddenly turned over, broke free from the middle-aged man’s restraints, and roared to the sky, with joy and relief in the roar.
The middle-aged man was overjoyed to see this, and hurriedly said to Lin Xiu: “Thank you, little brother. I’ve been worried all morning and didn’t know what happened to Ah Hu…”
Then he seemed to remember something and said: “Little brother, you are here to draw qi, come on, let’s talk inside.”
After solving the problem of his mount, the owner of Juying Pavilion was much more enthusiastic towards Lin Xiu. Back in the pavilion, Lin Xiu just asked Sun Dali to offer silver, and the middle-aged man said: “It’s just a little help. No need for silver. Just consider it as a thank you for helping Ah Hu.”
Lin Xiu embarrassedly said: “How can I…”
The middle-aged man waved his hand and said: “Why not? It’s not a big deal. I won’t accept your silver until you succeed in drawing qi.”
It would be best to get it for free. No one’s money comes from the wind. To be honest, Lin Xiu still likes to get it for free.
Learning one more language is so important. Doesn’t this save hundreds of taels of silver?
The owner of Juying Pavilion stood up, took two steps forward and said, “We can start now.”
Lin Xiu kicked Sun Dali and said, “Why are you still standing there? Go up!”
Sun Dali was stunned for a moment and asked, “Young Master, should I go first?”
Lin Xiu kicked him again in annoyance and said, “If you don’t go up, should I go up? Are you protecting me or should I protect you?”
“Oh!”
Sun Dali understood then. The young master wanted him to learn martial arts. He had thought about it before, but the entry-level martial arts Qi-inducing technique was too expensive. Even if he sold himself, it would not be enough, so he had no choice but to give up.
The head of Juying Hall patted Sun Dali’s body and praised him, “You are a good candidate for martial arts training, but it’s a pity that you started too late…”
After that, he held Sun Dali’s wrist, passed a trace of true qi to him, and said, “Remember the route of this true qi in your body, and then try to retain it and guide it to run along this route…”
Sun Dali’s body was more than ten times stronger than Lin Xiu’s. Although Lin Xiu guessed that he would practice martial arts faster than himself, he didn’t expect that he would succeed in guiding qi once.
Sun Dali successfully retained that true qi in his body. From then on, as long as he guided this trace of true qi to run along a fixed route during training, this true qi would continue to grow, and this was the path of martial arts practice.
Even the owner of Juying Pavilion was very surprised by this, and couldn’t help but say: “In my life, Chen Xiong, there are at least 800 people who can draw Qi, but I have never met many who can succeed in one go. Brother, your guard’s martial arts talent is extraordinary…”
A big difference between martial arts and special arts is that the ability of special arts is given by God, but martial arts practice requires someone to introduce you to the door, and special arts and martial arts have nothing to do with each other. People with average talent in special arts may have good talent in martial arts, and vice versa.
Sun Dali was able to draw Qi successfully in one go, which shows that his martial arts talent is far superior to his talent in special arts, but he just started a little late. If he had learned to draw Qi 20 years earlier, he might have been an outstanding martial artist.
The owner of Juying Pavilion was in a good mood today. He smiled and said to Lin Xiu, “Little brother, do you want to try it too?” Why not
get it for free? Lin Xiu nodded and said embarrassedly, “Then I’ll trouble you, Master Chen. If Ah Hu has any problems in the future, Master Chen can come to me…”
Having said that, Chen Xiong couldn’t be stingy. He waved his sleeves and said, “Just for what you said, little brother, if you don’t get started in martial arts today, don’t even think about going back…”
An hour later.
Lin Xiu was satisfied and walked out of Juying Pavilion with Sun Dali. Standing on the street, he clenched his fist with one hand and felt a special power in his body that was slowly flowing…
At this time, inside Juying Pavilion.
Chen Xiong sat on a chair, his face pale and his whole body weak. He wanted to stand up, but his legs were weak and he fell back into the chair. He looked around and said unhappily, “Why are you still standing there? Help me up…”
