Martial Saint!-Chapter 309 - 0212 Essential True Skill (5k)_3

"Perhaps he’s been targeted by a cultist."

Chen Jiu felt a sense of urgency and said,

"Then I must hurry and contact Songshan; Chenzhou is now a Martial Artist, and the school’s protective measures have diminished. Safety when traveling abroad is a problem. The ’Bodhi Technique’ is indeed a treasure, and coupled with the ’Tiger Demon Tai Sui Technique’ taught by Li Gui, once Chenzhou masters it, even if he faces a Vajra, he will easily be able to protect himself."

His wife asked,

"Are you going to contact Master Mingxin?"

Chen Jiu replied with a wry smile,

"Yes... who else can I turn to?"

His wife pondered for a moment and then said,

"Alright, but the favor from a Grandmaster is quite difficult to repay... not to mention, this isn’t just any Grandmaster, it’s Lei Jingang Mingxin, proficient in both internal and external practices."

In the Cross Training World, there’s a saying, "Northern Vajra, Southern Lufang," referring to two people. One is Songshan Wu University’s Lei Jingang Mingxin.

The other is Jiangnan Wu University’s Evil Tiger Lufang.

Both of these men, despite their youth, achieved the status of Martial Arts Masters by cultivating both internally and externally. Lei Jingang advanced to Martial Arts Grandmaster in recent years, becoming a Cross Training Grandmaster. As for Lufang, although there had been no public announcement, the wife also knew through Chen Jiu that Lufang had become a Grandmaster last year. These two were considered to be rivals, even from a distance.

Lei Jingang mainly practiced Buddhist Hard Qi Gong in his cross training. Lufang’s cultivation was more eclectic, including Buddhist techniques, Western Fighting Techniques, but predominantly Wudang Hard Qi Gong.

That’s why his wife was somewhat concerned.

Her husband was seeking help, not from just anyone.

This favor was not something to be taken lightly.

Chen Jiu said,

"I hope Mingxin remembers the days when we played in the mud together, and lends a hand... Chenzhou is a Martial Arts Genius, and he can repay this favor in the future!"

His wife laughed, covering her mouth, freёnovelkiss-com

"That might work, let’s owe this favor for now."

...

The next day.

Today was Songshan Wu University’s weekly routine Grandmasters’ meeting, with monks possessing vast auras, some with long eyebrows and beards, others with smooth, beardless faces, sitting solemnly together.

The host of this meeting was the Great Grandmaster, Tuo Tian Head Monk.

After discussing several significant issues, as the meeting neared its end, a young monk in a white robe, looking to be in his forties, stood up and spoke softly,

"Master, there is one more matter."

Tuo Tian Head Monk looked at the white-robed monk and smiled slightly.

"What is it?"

The white-robed monk was none other than Master Mingxin, real name Li Qi.

He was Chen Jiu’s childhood friend, and the two had been very close as kids. But as his talent became apparent and his Cultivation Breakthrough Realm rapid, he soon advanced to Grandmaster, creating an invisible divide between them. Master Mingxin could do nothing about it. Strength, like a chasm, unconsciously separates loved ones and friends, inevitably.

Mingxin said,

"I have a friend from Su City Dragon Martial who wants to request permission to teach the ’Bodhi Technique’ to a student... Dragon City’s top student, Lu Chenzhou."

Upon hearing this, Tuo Tian Head Monk glanced at the other Grandmasters and laughed,

"What do you all think? I see no problem with it."

Had it been someone else, Tuo Tian Head Monk might have had second thoughts, but considering it was the young man he had met at Huangshan, there was no issue. The Great Grandmaster had later heard that Lu Chenzhou’s ’Eighteen Arhats Golden Body Skill’ was progressing even faster than Lufang’s, and he couldn’t have been happier.

He knew this child was predestined with Buddhism!

The old monk had an accurate eye for judging an Innate Buddha Child!

Seeing that the Great Grandmaster agreed, most Grandmasters echoed,

"We feel it is acceptable too."

"Agreed."

However, one cautious Grandmaster said,

"Senior, this Secret Technique is after all Essential True Skill level... If it’s casually disseminated to other schools, especially to Dragon City’s top student, it feels somewhat inappropriate."

Tuo Tian Head Monk replied,

"The Buddha delivers all sentient beings. If the top student of Dragon City really manages to master the ’Bodhi Technique,’ it would show he has a connection to Buddhism and the roots of wisdom. No matter where he is, he will be seen as having affinity with Buddhism in the future... There is no need to cling to such sectarian views."

Convinced by the Great Grandmaster, the cautious Grandmaster also laughed,

"Thank you for your insight, Great Grandmaster. I have no objections."

...

That evening.

Lu Chenzhou came to Chen Jiu’s home for training as usual.

After completing the exercises, Chen Jiu said,

"You wanted to learn the ’Bodhi Technique,’ didn’t you? I’ve inquired at Songshan Wu University for you, and there’s no problem... But I had to ask Grandmaster Lei Jingang for this favor. If you meet him in the future, you might want to thank him in person and return the favor."

"Grandmaster Lei Jingang Mingxin?"

"Yes, he’s Tuo Tian Head Monk’s True Disciple."

"Understood, teacher. How much is the learning fee?"

"Songshan doesn’t charge, and neither do I. I will only guide you to begin. The Method of this Secret Technique is not hard; you can practice on your own on a daily basis. But Secret Techniques related to spiritual and Qi mechanism cultivation are generally easy to learn but hard to master. Da Xia Martial Arts emphasizes the simultaneous cultivation of essence, spirit, and intention, unlike Po Suo, which specializes only in the spiritual aspect. It will certainly be tough in the beginning."

"Thank you, teacher. I’m prepared for it."

Chen Jiu said seriously,

"This Secret Technique involves the cultivation of the ethereal ’Bodhi Miao Tree Qi,’ at its core, allowing you to control the Qi you emit. Once mastered, it will not only keep you free from malicious auras and evade tracking from some lower-level Evil Skills, but it will also give you a skill similar to Turtle Breath, calm as an old turtle, containing your Qi, helping to better conceal your presence. Unless someone significantly higher in Realm closely perceives, it will be difficult for them to discover you. Thus, it serves as a technique for preserving life or even assassination, with endless uses."

Lu Chenzhou, hearing this, was overjoyed.

This Secret Technique was exactly what he wanted.

It would greatly enhance his safety in his future travels.

Chen Jiu continued,

"The ’Bodhi Technique’ has only four levels: ’Bodhi is not a tree,’ ’Bright Mirror is not a Platform,’ ’Originally nothing,’ and ’Where can dust alight?’ With each advancing level, reaching the Fourth Level, you can become like Bodhi, your Qi like a bright mirror, untainted by karma, free from dust, stepping beyond worldly concerns."

"Have you mastered it, teacher?"

"I’m still at the Second Layer."

"It seems the Secret Technique is indeed difficult."

"Yes... but mainly because I teach in the university, seldom needing to go out, I naturally don’t encounter much karma or dust, so I don’t have a pressing need for this technique. Since you’ve just become a Martial Artist and often need to go out to refine your skills, you should aim to complete the first level and achieve the ’Minor Bodhi Body.’ If you’re only dealing with enemies at the Martial Artist level, that will be enough."
