Chapter 288 Unpacking
[Opened successfully, obtained the palm technique: Flame Blade! ]
The system prompted a few words, and Chu Qing looked calm.
He can now accept any reward given by the system...
Unless you find inner strength in these scattered treasure chests.
Other rewards were not enough to change his mind.
The next moment, the Flame Blade's Qi-flowing technique had already flowed through his mind.
But in a moment, Chu Qing opened his eyes.
After a slight hesitation, he suddenly rubbed his two palms together, then pushed out with one arm, and a line of fire suddenly flew out.
The flames were blazing, and if Chu Qing hadn't held back his strength, this attack would have surely penetrated the door, and it was hard to say where it would have hit.
Now he restrained his strength within the room and did not let it spread out, but the burn mark just now was still shocking.
"Not bad!"
Chu Qing nodded slightly, feeling that this was a unique skill.
With extremely high and profound internal strength, it turns into a raging flame, and uses the hand as a knife, which can be cut, sliced, picked and chopped... The moves are not fixed, but can be done at will.
Chu Qing had just deliberately stabbed out with his palm knife, creating a line of fire.
If he used the edge of his palm as a sharp edge and cut out horizontally, it would be like a flaming divine sword slashing out horizontally.
Not to mention how sharp the edge is, the fire power alone is something that ordinary people cannot resist.
In fact, Chu Qing had been very interested in the [Nine-Fierce Burning Divine Art] used by Beitang Zun and his men. The fire power stimulated by this martial art was also extraordinary.
Chu Qing was able to defeat the opponent easily because his internal strength was too profound.
To him, the [Nine-Fierce Burning Divine Art] was like the light of a firefly and was not worth mentioning.
But in fact, among all the martial arts involving words like water and fire, which one is simple?
Cheng Tieshan was known for his martial arts skills, but if he hadn't happened to run to the Yin-Yang Forest and been discovered by Chu Qing and others... he would have been beaten to death by Beitang Zun sooner or later.
This was because Beitang Zun himself had doubts about Beitang Lie at that time.
The intention to hunt down Cheng Tieshan was not that determined... otherwise, with the murderous intent suddenly rising, Cheng Tieshan might not have the chance to escape to the Yin-Yang Forest.
Beitang Zun led the Liehuotang to join Chu Qing, and wanted to offer the [Nine Fierce Burning Divine Art] with both hands.
Chu Qing did not accept it because he already had the system.
Unexpectedly, I have acquired the unique skill of Flame Blade.
However, the method of stimulating energy of this martial art and the [Nine-Fierce Burning Divine Art] are completely different.
[Nine-Li Burning Divine Art] The Qi flows through the heart meridian and is based on the heart. It is said to be a magical art, but in fact, the process of practicing it is extremely dangerous.
However, the flame knife is purely driven by superb internal energy and does not involve the five internal organs. Not only is it extremely powerful, it is also safer.
Chu Qing sat on the bed, his mind turning:
"This set of skills is transforming into a flame sword...
"If it is reversed, can it be transformed into an ice blade?"
He had a sudden idea and subconsciously wanted to give it a try, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt it was not very reliable.
I took it for granted...
If he wanted to make such an attempt, he had to thoroughly understand the Flame Sword and know the purpose of each step of the internal energy operation. He had to know the whys and the whys before he could start trying other things.
Otherwise, you might go astray.
In the worst case... death on the spot.
Chu Qing has always cherished his life, how could he be so reckless?
After getting familiar with the various mysterious abilities of the Flame Blade, Chu Qing's thoughts started to come out one after another...
Either consider using the flaming knife's power-enhancing method on a real knife, or consider using it on a sword.
"If we can combine this method with the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, and strike out with one palm, fire dragons will fly all over the sky... It's simply a must-have skill for killing people and silencing them!
"Otherwise, ice and fire come from the same source, and the dragon-shaped energy surrounds the ice and fire, directly creating a ninth level of ice and fire!"
The more Chu Qing thought about it, the more excited he became, and he began to make various small attempts.
Once he tried it, he got busy.
He was either busy trying various uses for it, or running around the room putting out fires.
Sometimes there was a blazing fire in the room, sometimes there was spreading ice and moisture... It was really a torrent of activity all night long.
The next morning, Wu Qianhuan and Wenrou came to see him, and they were both stunned after opening the door.
Wu Qianhuan looked at the burnt curtains, the burnt windows, the burn marks on the table, and the extremely obvious burning smell.
I couldn't help but ask:
"You set fire to this room last night while we were both asleep?"
Chu Qing frowned. After trying all night, he didn't get much feedback that it worked.
The key is that the flame sword is about being outward rather than inward.
If you hold back your anger, you are only hurting yourself.
Once it is released outward, the space for control is extremely limited.
Just wanting to attach it to a sword is a rather troublesome matter.
This force is out of control once it is used. Although the sword is an extension of the arm and a skilled person can use it as if it were an arm, it is ultimately not the real body.
Therefore, this force exploded on the hilt before it reached the tip of the sword...
This flame could not hurt Chu Qing, but it could burn the handle of the knife, and the heat that was fed back almost burned Chu Qing.
If we want to make good use of it, there is still a long way to go.
Of course, this is also Chu Qing's attempt to innovate and come up with more tricks... If you just use the original method honestly, nothing will happen.
Facing Wu Qianhuan's question, Chu Qing could only smack his lips and say:
"I have gained some insights into martial arts and have studied it a little more."
"..."
Wu Qianhuan frowned:
"You have understood too much..."
These words came from the heart. He would go into seclusion whenever he had nothing to do, and his martial arts skills improved beyond all reason.
Wu Qianhuan is a very competitive person and has always been much better than Chu Qing since she was a child.
Chu Qing returned to Tianwu City as the Night Emperor. She believed that she was no match for him, but after knowing the Night Emperor's identity, she accepted the reality.
I ran to Master Ye Tan and asked for the [Moon Pointing Mysterious Skill]. I thought I would make great progress. Even if I was not as good as Chu Qing, I would not be far behind...
Who could have imagined that there was such a huge difference between them when they first met, and now in such a short period of time, Chu Qing is even more far ahead.
This can be seen from his two fights with the Blood Prince.
The first time, the Blood Prince ran away, and the second time, not even a trace of him was left.
This made it difficult for Wu Qianhuan not to feel frustrated.
Chu Qing knew Wu Qianhuan very well. He didn't need to look at her. Just by listening to her words, he understood what she meant. He said with a smile:
"If you and I practice Tianming Sword Technique together, maybe you can make great progress."
"..."
Wu Qianhuan was speechless for a long while and gave Chu Qing a cold look.
"What is Tianming Sword Technique?"
Wenrou asked aside:
"Can I improve my skills by practicing with Third Brother?
"Can you teach me? How about the three of us practice together?"
"This……"
Chu Qing began to consider the feasibility of this. "What a joke! You really dare to think of this!"
Wu Qianhuan quickly pulled Wenrou's hand over:
"Be good and listen. Don't be fooled by your bad brother. He has no good intentions."
"what?"
Wenrou was confused and didn't know why improving her skills meant she had bad intentions?
Chu Qing also reacted and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
This is mainly his inertial thinking.
For each martial art, he would subconsciously think about the various feasibility scenarios so that he could fully master it, or transform it and make it completely his own.
Therefore, as soon as the word "gentle" was spoken, Chu Qing considered how to achieve it.
I forgot that to practice the Tianming Sword Technique, one must first be honest with each other.
In Wu Qianhuan's eyes, wouldn't that be considered as having bad intentions?
Seeing that the two people seemed to be entangled in this topic for a while, Chu Qing immediately changed the subject:
"Have you had breakfast?"
"No, isn't this just to ask you to have dinner?"
Wu Qianhuan quickly moved away.
Chu Qing nodded:
"Wait while I wash up."
The two girls waited outside the door, and soon Chu Qing came out, and the three of them went to find Lan Shuyi together.
But there's no need to look for her, Lan Shuyi has been waiting at the door since early morning.
After the incident last night, everyone in the entire Ding'an Hall headquarters knew that things had changed... However, it was unrealistic to expect the people below to be loyal to Wang Fang.
Seeing that the top leaders had all defected, and their own situation had not changed, they just let it go.
As for those who were truly loyal to Wang Fang... they were basically cleared out last night.
As for those who never came back, Lan Shuyi and Can Jiusheng had to deal with them themselves.
During breakfast, Chu Qing told Lan Shuyi two things.
The first thing was to have him send someone to deliver a letter to Liehuotang. The letter was written by Chu Qing himself, explaining the situation at Ding'antang and then connecting the two.
If Lan Shuyi can't solve the problem, he can ask Liehuotang for help.
Once the situation in Ding'antang stabilizes, it will be natural for them to communicate with each other.
The second thing was that Chu Qing asked Lan Shuyi to help him find someone.
This person's name is 'Wang Kuan'.
The origin of this name came from the clue treasure chest provided by the system.
To be honest, when Chu Qing saw the name, he was stunned.
Looking around the world, with so many people, where can he find someone with such an ordinary name?
Could it be that the system feels that the clues given previously are too specific?
So this time give him an unfathomable one?
Anyway, this clue made Chu Qing a little confused...
Moreover, the system only gives a name, and does not tell whether the person is male or female, old or young, fat or thin... there is no introduction at all.
Overall, this clue is worse than nothing.
But... no matter what, we still have to look for it.
He not only asked Lan Shuyi to look for it, but also asked Beitang Zun to look for it in the letter.
As the name is so common, there must be a huge number of people who can find it.
Therefore, Chu Qing instructed again:
"Find someone with this name. If after checking, it turns out that this person is just an ordinary person, then don't worry about it.
"But if the person's situation is special or quite suspicious...
"Then find a way to inform me."
"Yes."
Lan Shuyi nodded and agreed. As for how to inform Chu Qing, that was Lan Shuyi's own business.
After breakfast, Chu Qing and the other two did not stay.
On the one hand, there were things to do at Ding'an Hall. He had already finished what he was supposed to do last night.
On the other hand, the matter in Xiaohan Valley is imminent.
He really didn't have the time to waste here.
After saying goodbye to Lan Shuyi, the three of them set off and continued heading north.
The journey will be long if there is talk, and short if there is nothing to talk about.
They crossed mountains and rivers, passed through one city after another, and rode at full speed, traveling day and night, until they arrived at Tianyi Gate, which delayed them a little.
Tianyi Gate is just at the foot of Tongtian Ridge. To cross Tongtian Ridge, you must first pass through Tianyi Gate.
When the people of Tianyi Sect learned that the Third Young Master had arrived, they all went out to greet him.
The current Tianyi Sect leader even invited Chu Qing to stay in Tianyi Sect for a few more days... After several refusals, Chu Qing finally declined.
He really didn't have the time to stay for a few more days.
We have been traveling so fast that we even spent the New Year on the road. How could we have the time to stay in Tianyimen?
However, due to the hospitality, I couldn't help but stay overnight at Tianyi Gate.
This was also a rare night when nothing unexpected happened after Chu Qing stayed overnight.
The next morning, Sect Leader Tianyi personally sent Chu Qing and the other two to Tongtian Ridge.
The old Taoist priest had an ethereal appearance and a handsome appearance. He looked much more pleasing to the eye than the Taoist priest Qingguan who had delivered the letter earlier.
He raised his eyes to look at the endless mountains and forests in front of him and spoke in a deep voice:
“Tongtian Ridge is full of mysterious obstacles. Once you step into it, it is difficult to tell the direction even with a compass in hand.
“After the Third Young Master enters, he should use the red cloth as a guide. When he reaches the end of the red cloth, he should hide during the day and come out at night, using the stars in the sky to determine the direction.
"Just head north. With your speed, you can cross this place in seven days at most."
Chu Qing clasped his fists and expressed his gratitude, then led Wu Qianhuan and Wenrou into Tongtian Ridge.
The first trip was fine. Although the fields were vast and covered with snow, the trees were sparse and the sky was bright. Every once in a while, you could see marks made on the trees by people who had crossed this place before.
But as we went deeper, the trees became more and more lush, and when we looked in all directions, we discovered that all four directions were like one square, and we didn't know where the end of the forest was.
Even if you jump to the top of a tree and look around, you can only see a world covered with snow.
You can’t see Tianyi Gate behind you, and you can’t see Lingbei ahead of you.
It’s like being alone in the deep sea, feeling the vastness of the universe and the insignificance of human beings...it makes people feel powerless.
But the red cloth did not go too deep.
Fortunately, with the reminder from Sect Leader Tianyi, the three of them hid during the day and came out at night, using the stars in the sky to determine the direction, so they did not get lost in the vast mountains.
That evening, the three men set out on their journey, holding torches.
Wu Qianhuan suddenly had an idea:
“The mountains and wilderness in Tongtian Ridge are vast, and we don’t know whether the direction we are looking for is right or wrong. If we get lost by accident, we may end up entering the Ghost Emperor’s Palace.
"Do you think the Ghost Emperor will think that the three of us are going to challenge him?"
Chu Qing smiled silently and was about to say that the Ghost Emperor was not in the Ghost Emperor Palace at the moment.
But suddenly he frowned and looked at the torch in his hand.
I saw that the originally normal flame had suddenly turned into a deep and sad green color.
