Chapter 10 - 10 10 Lu 3 Seeking Revenge

Chapter 10: Chapter 10 Lu 3 Seeking Revenge Chapter 10: Chapter 10 Lu 3 Seeking Revenge Outside, whatever was happening no longer concerned Chen Jie, as he was fully immersed in the explanation of the Yang Chun Skill cultivation technique.

Strictly speaking, Yang Chun Skill was not considered a secret martial arts manual because it did not instruct on how to kill or defeat enemies.

Instead, it focused on nurturing the body, strengthening the bones, and extending one’s lifespan.

The Yang Chun Skill did not contain martial techniques or training methods.

In fact, it was more about explaining a kind of Yin Yang theory, or rather, it resembled a set of breathing techniques.

It mentioned that there was a miraculous force between heaven and earth called Qi.

As long as one utilized Qi, they could strengthen their body, build their bones, and prolong their life.

The Yang Chun Skill taught how to breathe correctly and how to retain this Qi within the body.

Chen Jie looked at the introduction of the Yang Chun Skill and felt that this cultivation technique was quite different from his impression of martial arts skills.

Chen Jie recalled his understanding of this world’s martial arts.

The martial arts were divided into Five Gates.

Among them, the Five Gates were further divided into three stages, known as the three realms.

These were the first two Gates, the Skin Barrier and the meat barrier.

When the skin and flesh were strong, forces were produced, and when the energy became visible externally, it was called Ming Jin.

Next were the middle two Gates, the Sinew Barrier and the Bone Barrier.

When the sinews and bones were achieved, Dark Energy arose, not visible on the outside, known as Dark Force.

Finally, there was the last Gate.

The Five Viscera Barrier, where Qi and blood were refined, and all body’s openings were activated, allowing for the production of Vigorous Qi to harm others.

That was Energy Transformation.

Above Energy Transformation, one could be considered a Junior Grandmaster.

Chen Jie looked at the Yang Chun Skill and thought to himself that this skill, which focused on breathing techniques and directly trained the internal organs, seemed quite different from the martial arts teachings circulating in Mianshui County.

*Hadn’t he heard that no one could train their internal organs before practicing martial arts?*

Chen Jie suspected that this Yang Chun Skill might be a more advanced cultivation technique.

*While others practiced martial arts, was he cultivating for immortality?*

However, this technique seemed somewhat incomplete, and there was nothing Chen Jie could do about it, but practicing it was still beneficial for health and fitness.

With this in mind, Chen Jie began to follow the mental method of the Yang Chun Skill for practice.

To cultivate the Yang Chun Skill, you needed to understand medical theory and be aware of the positions of the 830 acupoints in the human body to learn how to absorb the Qi of heaven and earth.

If you did not understand these medical concepts, even possessing the Yang Chun Skill, you couldn’t learn it.

Fortunately, Chen Jie understood these medical concepts, as his grandfather had made him recite various medical knowledge and learn different acupoints from the age of five.

If he ever made a mistake, his grandfather would smack his hands with a bamboo stick, so he remembered these things firmly.

Chen Jie tried to absorb the Qi into his body, adjusting his breathing rhythm, and gradually entered meditation, not knowing how long had passed.

Before he knew it, the day was nearly over.

At this moment, Lu San returned from outside the village carrying two fish, humming a tune. *Today hadn’t been in vain; he’d carried a few baskets of fish for the fishery, earning himself two small crucian carp.*

*Though the fish weren’t large, they could make a pretty delicious fish soup after some preparation.*

Thinking that, Lu San felt quite cheerful.

When he was nearly home, Lu San was even happier because his wife, who usually wasn’t so conscientious, was waiting at the door for him, looking anxious.

*What was this about?*

*After just one day, did his wife miss him this much?*

Just then, Lu Qinsi spotted Lu San as well and, thrilled at heart, rushed over to him. As soon as they met, her loud voice broke out.

“Husband! Why did you come back so late?”

“Your wife was bullied, aren’t you going to do something about it?”

Lu Qinsi threw herself into Lu San’s arms, crying bitterly. Hearing her cry, Lu San was taken aback.

*You were bullied? It’s surprising enough that you didn’t bully others, let alone who would dare bully you?*

Thinking this, he saw Lu Qinsi pointing to her face, saying, “Husband, look at me, I’m all swollen. You have to stand up for me!”

Lu San saw that indeed Lu Qinsi’s face was quite swollen.

Lu San was furious, “Who did this?”

Lu Qinsi replied, “Who else could it be, if not that little bastard Chen Jiusi?”

“Chen Jiusi?!”

Lu San was astonished, “That coward Chen Jiusi dared to hit my wife?”

“Are you serious?”

Lu Qinsi nodded emphatically, saying, “Yes, him. Husband, you mustn’t let him off easily!”

Hearing this, Lu San’s face immediately darkened, and he picked up a wooden stick from beside the wall, saying, “Let’s go, let’s confront that coward Chen Jiusi. He dared to bully my wife, and today, I’ll break his leg!”

Saying this, Lu San handed the fish to Lu Qinsi, “Hold this for me, we’re going to find Chen Jiusi.”

“Yes, we’re going to settle this with Chen Jiusi.”

Saying this, the two headed straight for Chen Jiusi’s dilapidated courtyard, and the villagers who heard this commotion stuck their heads out of their homes to see what was happening.

Upon hearing they were going to find Chen Jiusi for some reckoning, everyone’s gossiping hearts were ignited.

They all left their homes, gathering behind Lu San and his wife to watch the excitement. Seeing more and more people following, Lu San became even more interested. *Today, he must break one of Chen Jiusi’s legs and let everyone witness his prowess.*

Thinking this, the group arrived at Chen Jie’s door, and Lu San said to Lu Qinsi, “Knock on the door.”

Lu Qinsi carried the fish to Chen Jie’s door and shouted, “You Chen’s damn couple better come out! You think you can just get away with hitting me? You’re about to get your reckoning. Come out here, you...***”

Lu Qinsi, being a village shrew, cursed profanely, directly insulting Chen Jie’s mother’s reproductive organs with vulgarity.

Her rant was extraordinarily arrogant. Hearing the shouting and cursing, Su Yunjin was frightened pale and hugged little Daisy tightly, saying, “Oh no, Lu San has come to make trouble.”

Little Daisy also looked terrified. She had witnessed Lu Qinsi’s terror before; the incident of slapping her sister remained vivid in her mind, causing her to tremble in fear.

“Sister, I’m scared.”

Su Yunjin hugged little Daisy, saying, “Don’t be afraid, sister is here. Later, you hide inside the house, and don’t come out, do you understand?”

Little Daisy nodded pale-faced, “Mm.”

“But sister, will they hit you?”

Little Daisy asked. Su Yunjin didn’t answer, but at this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind, “It’s okay, nobody will hit your sister.”

Hearing this voice, both Su Yunjin and little Daisy turned to look behind them, only to see Chen Jie had walked out of the house, standing tall with eyes full of vigor.

Then Chen Jie came to little Daisy and said, “Don’t be afraid. Today, with brother-in-law here, no one can hurt you.”

Saying this, Chen Jie walked past Su Yunjin and her sister, heading towards the front door.

Su Yunjin saw this and said, “Hey, maybe you should run.”

“Run, and what about you both?”

Chen Jie looked back at Su Yunjin, and Su Yunjin fell silent...

Chen Jie suddenly laughed, “Relax, just stay at home, nothing will happen.”

After saying this, he continued walking out. At that moment, Su Yunjin watched his back and called out again, “Hey...”

“Huh?”

Chen Jie turned his head.

“Be careful.”
