104: Low-level bone-training exercises?
When Madam Shi arrived, Chu Qing was having a meal with Madam Jin.
Seeing Madam Shi approach, Chu Qing clapped his hands and laughed, “Madam is radiant, quickly go change into your costume and sing a song to liven things up!”
Madam Shi glared at him with a cold face.
Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon’s maidservants mocked, “Groom, does our Young Miss need you to speak when she’s doing something?”
Madam Shi said coldly, “Shut up!”
The maidservants… A few minutes later:
Madam Shi sang, and she actually sang seven or eight songs consecutively.
Chu Qing was tired of listening.
Fortunately, Madam Shi finally stopped.
Chu Qing rolled up his sleeves, intending to go up and deal with someone.
However, Madam Shi glared at him and said coldly, “Today we discuss serious matters, to the study!”
“Oh!”
Chu Qing put down his sleeves.
Soon, the two went to the study.
Originally, Madam Jin also wanted to go.
But Madam Shi glanced at her, and she didn't dare to go.
In the study:
Madam Shi stood in front of the desk, facing Chu Qing, and said seriously, “365 Golden Tendons?”
“Yes!”
A hint of excitement appeared on Madam Shi’s cold face:
“Show me!”
Chu Qing… “How do I show you?”
Madam Shi frowned and sneered, “A Groom is indeed a Groom, uneducated and ignorant of everything.”
Chu Qing gritted his teeth in anger.
“Groom, use all your strength.”
Chu Qing was furious and suddenly attacked, grabbing Madam Shi’s fair neck and pressing down hard.
One Golden Tendon added… a hundred… three hundred… Madam Shi remained motionless, a look of disdain on her lips, and said coldly, “No strength?”
Chu Qing roared, all 365 Golden Tendons exerting force simultaneously.
The next second:
He found golden patterns appearing on his hands.
At the same time:
Golden patterns also appeared on Madam Jin’s fair neck.
These patterns, like tattoos, were exceptionally beautiful.
The patterns spread, appearing on Madam Jin’s face as well.
Her fair skin and aloof face created a strange beauty.
Chu Qing’s heart was filled with savagery, and he pressed down with all his might.
At this moment, he wasn’t afraid of strangling Madam Shi to death at all.
Madam Shi slowly leaned back, eventually, her upper body lying on the desk.
“Groom… let go!”
Chu Qing laughed, “Let me study the golden patterns!”
One minute… Madam Shi’s cold eyes became vacant, staring blankly at the ceiling.
Two minutes… Madam Shi suddenly pushed Chu Qing away, tidied her clothes and said, “Only by cultivating 365 Golden Tendons will you have golden patterns.”
“Everyone’s golden patterns are the same.”
“No need to study them anymore!”
Chu Qing was quite disappointed.
He had just studied the golden patterns near the collarbone and Yingchuang acupoint; he hadn't studied other areas yet.
He looked at his hands and said disappointedly, “What a pity!”
Madam Shi said coolly, “No need to feel pity!”
“If you can cultivate 365 Golden Bones, you can still force me to continue studying.”
Chu Qing nodded, firmly remembering the word 'force'.
At this moment, Madam Shi said seriously, “If Zheng Zhixiang troubles you, come find me.”
“I’ll protect you!”
Chu Qing… “Okay!”
Madam Shi nodded, satisfied, and said, “Perfected Gold Tendons are actually the Foundation of martial Dao.”
“If you have the ability, be sure to cultivate 365 Golden Bones.”
Chu Qing asked curiously, “What are the benefits of 365 Golden Bones?”
Madam Jin thought for a moment and said, “There are many benefits.”
“You’ll know once you’ve cultivated them all.”
“Remember, those who have cultivated all Golden Tendons and Golden Bones, to a certain extent, are no longer the same kind of people as ordinary Martial Artists.”
“Hmm… it’s like dirt and gold.”
Chu Qing said thoughtfully, “Not the same species?”
“Species?”
Madam Shi thought for a moment, then said with appreciation, “Indeed, not the same species.”
“Those with Perfected Golden Tendons and Golden Bones can only reproduce with the opposite sex who also have Golden Tendons and Golden Bones.”
“With weaker individuals… they cannot reproduce.”
Chu Qing was thoughtful.
“If my Golden Bones are Perfected, can I defeat Zheng Zhixiang?”
Madam Shi shook her head.
“What Realm do I need to reach to defeat him?”
Madam Shi pondered and said:
“After Perfecting Golden Tendons, Golden Bones, Golden Blood, and Golden Flesh, killing him will be like slaughtering chickens and dogs!”
Chu Qing said, “Five years ago, he was already at Blood Refinement and Flesh Refinement. Now it’s even more likely he’s in the Skin and Hair Realm.”
“Can I kill him?”
Madam Shi sneered disdainfully, “Zheng Zhixiang read little in his youth and didn't know the importance of Golden Tendons; he missed out on 65 Golden Tendons; later, his Realms were not qualified for Perfection.”
“If you Perfect all four Realms, you can crush him with one hand.”
Chu Qing was thoughtful.
From this, he inferred that:
Madam Shi’s Flesh Refinement had not yet reached Perfection.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have said she would severely injure Zheng Zhixiang.
And just as he was deep in thought, a storm raged in Madam Shi’s heart.
Chu Qing’s progress was much faster than she had imagined.
Golden Tendons reached Perfection in such a short time.
This completely exceeded her expectations.
Chu Qing’s Aptitude was far more terrifying than she had imagined.
“If he can open the Tongtian Road… perhaps, he can become my strongest helper in the future!”
Madam Shi’s strength was terrifying.
Relying on the dragon tendon from back then, she advanced by leaps and bounds.
She was not in the Five Viscera and Six Bowels Realm as outsiders imagined, nor was she in the Skin and Hide Realm.
She had already opened a Tongtian Road.
But she never told anyone.
Nor would she ever reveal it.
That was her biggest trump card.
It was also her Foundation for establishing herself in the Bingjia Sect and during the Millennial Calamity in the future.
At this stage, whoever knew… died!
…A long time later, Madam Shi left.
Chu Qing bid farewell to Madam Jin and returned to the Martial Academy.
Before leaving, he said to Madam Jin, “Madam Shi said my strength has greatly increased, and in the entire Shiji County, no one is my opponent except her.”
“From now on, I will protect you.”
Chu Qing was quite grateful to Madam Jin.
Especially after hearing that Zheng Zhixiang’s lack of education in his youth ultimately led to an insufficient Foundation, he was even more grateful to Madam Jin.
Without Madam Jin’s help, he might not have met Tang Wuming, nor would he have known the secrets of Golden Tendons.
Perhaps he would have hastily stepped into Iron Tendons or Bronze Tendons and then advanced.
Fortunately, he didn't miss out on Perfected Golden Tendons.
Madam Jin was also happy.
“If Qing’er becomes powerful, I will naturally be safer.”
After some pleasantries, Madam Jin asked, “Do you still want the specially made luminous pearls?”
Chu Qing thought for a moment and said, “Yes!”
“You can never have too many of these.”
“However, the number of specially made ones needs to be reduced.”
He had used the luminous pearls of Cui Moyang and others, and he would have to slowly replenish them in the future.
Madam Jin kept it in mind.
Half an hour later:
Chu Qing returned to the Martial Academy and went straight to the fifth floor of the Library.
The One-legged Instructor on the fourth floor, seeing the token he held, was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred:
“You’re so lucky!”
“The Dean’s token… is worth a thousand academic credits.”
“It saved you at least a year.”
Chu Qing smiled and nodded.
The One-legged Instructor asked curiously, “How did you get the token?”
Chu Qing thought for a moment and said, “After destroying the Qin Family, the Vice Dean gave it to me.”
The One-legged Instructor’s eyes widened, and he said incredulously, “It’s that simple?”
Chu Qing nodded, “Yes, it’s that simple.”
The One-legged Instructor muttered dejectedly, “Bad luck… If destroying a noble family gave a token, how could I have fallen to such a state back then?”
Chu Qing… A few minutes later:
Chu Qing ascended to the fifth floor.
The fifth floor was empty, with no bookshelves, only a table, a thin old man, and dozens of small boxes piled beside the old man.
The thin old man was the Dean.
He was quite surprised to see Chu Qing.
He stared intently at Chu Qing, and a powerful Aura swept over and suppressed him.
Chu Qing felt a chill down his spine, as if facing a monstrous beast.
However, his expression remained unchanged, and he faced it calmly.
This pressure… was similar to Madam Shi’s cold gaze.
One minute… the Dean retracted his Qi and smiled:
“Chu Qing?”
“Yes!”
“Your ability to withstand my Aura proves that you have cultivated a large number of Golden Tendons and wish to cultivate bones.”
“I once promised that as long as you came, I would give you a bone-cultivating Cultivation Technique.”
“Give me the token!”
Chu Qing handed the token to the Dean.
The Dean said with considerable disappointment, “I gave out the token yesterday, and I thought you would wait a year or two before coming.”
“I didn’t expect you to come so quickly!”
“You, ah, are too impatient!”
Chu Qing was bewildered.
My 365 Golden Tendons are Perfected.
I must cultivate bones.
How am I impatient?
Could it be that the Dean doesn’t know my 365 Golden Tendons are Perfected?
Thinking of this, he cupped his fists and explained, “Dean, I…”
The Dean shook his head, casually picked up a box, and handed it to him: “This is the bone-cultivating Cultivation Technique I prepared for you.”
“Take a look, and if you don’t understand anything, you can ask me!”
