Chapter 214: The Chen Clan Has A Cultivation Method! The Current Old Heavenly Master?
Xiao Yu no longer knew how to describe her shock.
Before, after she was adopted by the Chen Clan and cultivated with her master, she really just thought the Chen Clan was the same as those other inherited martial arts families outside. Although they had martial arts inheritance, none of it had much power and most of it was for performance.
Just like the sword techniques, fist techniques, and palm techniques she performed when she first filmed videos.
Only after her senior brother returned to the Chen Clan again and came up with medicinal cuisine did everything become different.
She found her sword techniques had become sharper, her fist techniques more powerful, her palm techniques faster. It was as if the Chen Clan’s martial arts had suddenly changed.
She could easily knock down thief gangs even while holding an unopened sword.
After that, every morning when she went to receive the baptism of energy from the feng shui array, she felt the benefit even more clearly. She could even barely learn that parkour-like lightness skill of her senior brother.
This also made her realize that at this rate, the Chen Clan’s martial arts would only become more and more formidable.
But she never expected to suddenly see such a shocking scene before her eyes: that senior family elder from the photo, with short swords actually flying around him.
Was this still normal martial arts?
You could only see such a scene on television or in movies, right?
At that moment, she saw those short swords, as if receiving a summoned command, fly into that elder’s hands.
Then she saw his palm turn, and the short swords vanished into thin air in his hands.
This seemed to be that ancient technique her senior brother used, but this elder was obviously using it far better than her senior brother.
“Little girl, since fate let you see, come over,” Chen Han looked at his junior sister with a smile, doing his best to maintain the manner of a senior expert.
Xiao Yu did not dare be disrespectful. She stepped forward and made a junior’s salute. “Greetings… elder.”
She did not know his exact seniority, so she quickly decided to call him elder. And since he was the one in the photo, he was indeed an elder.
Chen Han also asked in the tone of an elder, “Your body is light and your steps are steady. You have practiced martial arts, but your practice is not very good. How is your Chen Clan Qi Cultivation Method going? How many of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians have you opened?”
“Ah…” Xiao Yu was clearly confused. The Chen Clan had a Chen Clan Qi Cultivation Method?
She did not know.
Her senior brother did not know either, right?
Otherwise he would definitely have taught her.
Then she thought of the scene just now, when those small swords had been circling that family elder’s body in flight.
Could it be that, besides the sword techniques, fist techniques, and palm techniques she, her senior brother, and her uncle practiced, the Chen Clan also had cultivation methods like those in television and movies?
This set her heart racing. She nervously said, “Right now no one in the Chen Clan is cultivating the Chen Clan Qi Cultivation Method, and we also don’t know what opening the Eight Extraordinary Meridians is…”
When Chen Han heard this, he showed a shocked expression. “What? No one is cultivating the Chen Clan Qi Cultivation Method?”
Then he deliberately scolded with a “hate iron but not steel” attitude. “Truly a bunch of unfilial descendants. Even the family qi cultivation method can be lost. Useless.”
Hearing him scold, Xiao Yu did not dare talk back, but she could be sure of one thing: the Chen Clan really did have some cultivation method, just like in television and movies, only that this cultivation method had been lost.
Of course. The family had something like a feng shui array, and the protection of the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation. Having such a cultivation method would not be strange.
As a martial arts enthusiast, when she heard this, she immediately looked at this family elder with expectation. She really wanted to learn. As long as she learned it, she could shock her senior brother, right?
She would definitely be able to give her senior brother an enormous surprise.
She just did not know how to open her mouth, nor whether this elder would teach her.
There was no way Chen Han could not see that his junior sister really wanted to learn this Chen Clan Qi Cultivation Method. He gave a soft snort and said, “Come sit cross-legged here. Since you have seen it, I will pass the Chen Clan Qi Cultivation Method back to the Chen Clan. At my age I still have to worry about this broken business of family inheritance.”
Xiao Yu did not hesitate at all. She went over and sat cross-legged. Hearing this family elder complain, she did not dare respond.
It seemed the Chen Clan had really lost many things. The younger generation was not living up to expectations, so it was understandable that the elders were angry.
Chen Han did not hesitate either. He directly recited to his junior sister the mnemonic formula for the Chen Clan Disciples’ General Basic Qi Cultivation Method.
When explaining how the meridians circulated, he placed his hand on his junior sister’s body, activated a wisp of true qi into her, and let the true qi travel through her meridians to deepen her impression.
When Xiao Yu felt true qi enter her body and wander through it, her shock could be imagined.
So awesome.
It was just like scenes from novels and television or movies.
Chen Han explained it several times in a row, then deliberately asked, “How well do you remember it?”
He knew his junior sister excelled in martial arts, but when it came to memorizing things or reading books, it was a whole other story. She could be driven to tears just trying to recite an ancient poem.
Now he was teaching this Chen Clan Disciples’ General Basic Qi Cultivation Method, and he worried that even after teaching her for half a day she might not get it, let alone after just a few repetitions.
But to his surprise, his junior sister nodded and said, “I have completely memorized it.”
“Memorized it?” Chen Han could not believe it. His junior sister’s memory was this good, yet she cried over memorizing ancient poems?
He quickly said, “Repeat it back to me.”
Xiao Yu did not hesitate. She immediately repeated the content of the Chen Clan Qi Cultivation Method, word for word, without a single mistake.
Chen Han listened on the side, dumbfounded.
Wait, had his junior sister been acting in front of his parents, teachers, and everyone all along?
With this kind of memory, she cried over ancient poems?
After that, he could only think that the Chen Clan Disciples’ General Qi Cultivation Method was related to martial arts, so it was different.
His junior sister had trained in martial arts since childhood and was good at it. Although every time she challenged him she got her butt smacked, he had to admit that when it came to martial arts she had a real knack and was very interested.
So seeing this, Chen Han could not help but praise, “Very good. You actually memorized this Chen Clan Qi Cultivation Method in just a few times.”
The corners of Xiao Yu’s mouth curled up. Once praised, she could not help herself. She could only try her best to press down her smile. It really felt harder to suppress than the recoil of an AK.
Chen Han clearly saw this. His junior sister just could not handle being praised.
Then he solemnly instructed her, “The Chen Clan Qi Cultivation Method has been passed on to you, but remember, the method must not be casually passed on. The qi cultivation method can only be passed to the head of the main lineage or family geniuses. This is clan rules. Remember?”
“Got it,” Xiao Yu answered at once.
The Chen Clan had a main family, and right now in the main family her senior brother was the sole heir. But the main lineage and the main family were different. The main lineage was traced three generations up and three generations down from the patriarch.
Her senior brother currently had no “three generations down.” At least she had to win him over, give him children, before there would be.
As for three generations up, Uncle, Uncle Dagou, and Uncle Shuisheng were all main lineage, and they happened to be the heads of the main lineage.
Further up were Sixth Great Uncle and Fifth Great Uncle.
She felt those two elders no longer needed to cultivate. Living out their lives peacefully and happily would be the greatest good fortune.
Thinking this, Xiao Yu looked up and found that elder had disappeared.
He was so mysterious, his tracks hard to find.
Had she struck great luck today?
Next, she excitedly called her senior brother. She had to tell him about the Chen Clan Qi Cultivation Method.
Her senior brother would definitely be shocked and find it unbelievable, right?
Chen Han had just entered the Chen Clan when he heard his mobile phone ringtone. He took it out and saw it was his junior sister calling.
Luckily he had moved quickly. Otherwise, if his junior sister called, he would have been exposed right away.
So next time he dressed up as the old daoist priest, he needed to first store his phone in the game warehouse.
This was an area inside the Chen Clan. Seeing no one around, he deactivated the Thousand Illusions Mask, then answered the call while walking toward his courtyard.
His junior sister’s excited voice came through. “Senior brother, are you in your courtyard? I have good news to tell you. It will definitely make you excited. You will never guess who I just met. Wait there, I am coming right now.”
Chen Han smiled as he looked at the ended call.
His junior sister had just learned the Chen Clan Qi Cultivation Method and was on her way to claim credit. The girl probably did not know who had actually taught her.
Chen Han entered the courtyard. Before long, he saw Uncle, Uncle Shuisheng, and Uncle Dagou being called over too.
He did not need to guess. It had to be his junior sister who called them, since with what she had just experienced she would not be able to resist sharing it.
Sure enough, as soon as Chen Lin and the others came in, they started asking.
“Xiao Han, why did Xiao Yu call us over?”
“Yeah, she told me to come here and said there was a huge surprise.”
“She told me the same.”
Hearing his three uncles, Chen Han smiled and said, “Uncle, Uncle Shuisheng, Uncle Dagou, please sit. Since junior sister called, she should be here any moment.”
The three nodded.
Xiao Yu indeed arrived shortly after. As soon as she saw them, she teased, “Senior brother, do you know who I just met?”
Chen Lin, Chen Dagou, and Chen Shuisheng all shook their heads. How could they know?
Chen Lin said, “Xiao Yu, don’t act so mysterious. You called us here to tell us, didn’t you? We can’t guess, so just say it.”
Seeing his junior sister playing coy, Chen Han also gave her enough emotional value and smiled. “Junior sister, who exactly did you meet?”
Seeing the four of them clearly unable to guess, Xiao Yu asked instead, “Senior brother, do you still remember that family elder in the photo that was discovered before?”
At those words, Chen Lin, Chen Shuisheng, and Chen Dagou all froze for a moment.
They naturally remembered that family elder. It was just that the Chen Clan had searched for so long and never found him, only a few scattered records of that family elder in the photo.
That should not be. If he was of the Chen Clan, how could they not find him in the family? And if he had always been in the Chen Clan, where did he live?
Unless he had not been in the Chen Clan earlier.
Of course, there was another possibility: he really was some cosplay enthusiast trying to attract attention on purpose.
But if he really was the one in the Chen Clan photo, then the Chen Clan’s foundation was terrifying.
Chen Lin subconsciously asked, “Xiao Yu, you really met him?”
Xiao Yu nodded without hiding anything. “I met him over by the spirit field. And you would never imagine how shocking the scene was when I met that elder. Several swords were flying in circles around him.”
At first, Chen Lin, Chen Dagou, and Chen Shuisheng listened seriously. By the end, they were staring at her in a daze. The Chen Clan had martial arts, and combined with medicinal cuisine they could train quite strong power.
The three of them were even the “white vest experts” discussed online. But now she was telling them several swords were flying around a person?
Chen Lin subconsciously asked, “Xiao Yu, you really met him?”
Chen Dagou almost spoke at the same time. “Xiao Yu, is what you said true?”
Xiao Yu instinctively nodded. “Yes, I met him. And he even taught me a Chen Clan Qi Cultivation Method, saying it is a Chen Clan inheritance method, and scolded us for throwing away the Chen Clan’s foundation.”
As she spoke, she went over to her senior brother to claim credit. “Senior brother, I have memorized that Chen Clan Qi Cultivation Method. And he made true qi travel inside my body. It was truly miraculous.”
“Mhm.” Chen Han nodded. His junior sister looked quite cute while asking for credit.
Seeing that her senior brother did not look particularly happy, Xiao Yu asked, “Senior brother, hearing this news, aren’t you excited?”
Chen Han found it funny. He had not acted excited enough, and his junior sister had not received the emotional value she wanted.
So, to cooperate with her performance, he immediately put on an excited look. “How could I not be? I am thrilled, junior sister.”
“Senior brother, I will go and write down the cultivation method right away.” Completely satisfied now, Xiao Yu happily headed into his attic to look for writing tools.
In no time she had found a notebook and a pen, and she carefully wrote at the stone table in the courtyard.
She even drew the meridian routes very seriously.
Chen Han watched from the side to check for missing or incorrect parts. He had to admit his junior sister was really skilled in this area. There was not a single mistake.
After spending some time, Xiao Yu finished the transcription and handed it to her senior brother like offering a treasure. “Senior brother, he said this is the Chen Clan Qi Cultivation Method. Clan rules state that only the head of the main lineage and family geniuses may study it. Uncle, Uncle Dagou, and Uncle Shuisheng are also heads of the main lineage, so I called them here.”
Chen Lin, Chen Dagou, and Chen Shuisheng were all stunned. Before, the Chen Clan only had the main family and there was no such thing as a main lineage. Now, hearing this, their sense of belonging and emotional value surged.
If full value was one hundred, they were at several hundred now.
Chen Han already knew the contents of the Chen Clan Disciples’ General Qi Cultivation Method, but to respect his junior sister’s emotional value, he still carefully read through it, then handed it to his uncles. “Uncle, you can also take a look at this cultivation method.”
Chen Lin and the others had been eager for it. They took it and gathered around the stone table to read.
However, at their age, their education and understanding had many limitations. It was difficult for them to read such a cultivation method. Some terms they did not understand at all.
So they could only ask Xiao Yu for help.
“Xiao Yu, what does this mean?”
“And this part, I can’t understand.”
“…”
Xiao Yu was very happy to act as a teacher and seriously taught her uncles. They kept studying in Chen Han’s courtyard late into the night.
At night.
Once Chen Lin fully understood the Chen Clan Qi Cultivation Method, he said, “After memorizing this method, the first step is to sense spiritual energy, right?”
Xiao Yu then realized she had not yet tried to sense spiritual energy. She immediately nodded. “Yes, in the Chen Clan Qi Cultivation Method it says the first step of cultivation is sensing spiritual energy. We can try it now.”
As she spoke, she was already the first to sit cross-legged in a spot in the courtyard and began to sense the spiritual energy in the air according to the Chen Clan Qi Cultivation Method.
The three men were also eager to try. It was their first time encountering cultivation, and they were especially excited.
Only Chen Han went into the attic. For him, this kind of cultivation was no problem at all, and he knew there was no spiritual energy in reality. His junior sister and the others simply could not sense any.
Right now they were just doing something pointless.
At that moment, he noticed many notifications in his phone’s backstage, lots of mentions. He glanced through a couple of the comments.
“Chen Family Head, that old daoist priest is much stronger than you.”
“Chen Family Head, your lightness skill looked awesome before, but now I realize you are not that great.”
Seeing this, he tapped into it and saw a trending topic: “Real-life Under One Person, the Chen Clan’s Old Heavenly Master!”
That old daoist priest from the Chen Clan photo had gone viral online again, and this time it was a huge sensation.
