117: Seeing people as bones

Chu Qing wanted to rub beads.

And, they were white bone beads.

When the Wubao Disciples found out, their first reaction was a sigh of relief.

Master Qing's hobby had finally returned to normal.

Although he was rubbing white bone beads, it was still more normal than drinking ink.

They racked their brains, thinking about what kind of white bone beads to get.

Finally:

Da Congming said:

"Master Qing's heart is like iron, he kills like a butcher."

"When rubbing beads, he should rub human bone beads!"

Then:

This group of Wubao Disciples gathered a set of human bone beads and brought them over.

White bone beads in hand — rub them!

Then, Zhao Hongxiu and the others were out of a job.

Because:

Chu Qing's frequency of applying ointment returned to normal.

This made them both disappointed and relieved.

The disappointment was:

They had far fewer opportunities for intimacy with this man.

The relief was:

If it had gone on for a few more days, they feared they wouldn't be able to control themselves.

Now, without having to apply ointment, and being out of a job, they actually didn't know what to do.

[Rubbing Beads +1]

Chu Qing ignored Zhao Hongxiu and the others, performed the Eagle Claw Skill, and quickly flicked his fingers.

A few seconds later;

[Rubbing Beads +1]

The efficiency was a bit slow.

He was quite displeased.

"Find a way to increase efficiency."

Chu Qing pondered, thinking of the electric drill from his previous life.

That electric drill had a rotation speed of over a thousand.

"I can't get a real electric drill, but making a hand drill doesn't seem difficult either!"

He drew a blueprint, then handed an official seal to Zhao Hongxiu, saying, "Senior Sister, go customize this thing!"

Zhao Hongxiu looked at the blueprint, her face full of confusion.

The item was strange, and she didn't know what it was for.

But, she was obedient.

She immediately left the Martial Academy to find a blacksmith to customize it.

"This item is for my Qing Ge'er."

"It must be exquisitely made, and the Materials must be good!"

"Here, this is Qing Ge'er's official seal!"

The blacksmith observed it for a moment and smiled, "Don't worry, I'll use the best red copper, white jade, gold, and silver to make it. It will definitely be exquisite, and also sturdy and durable."

One day later:

The hand drill was made.

The blacksmith carefully put away the blueprint.

He vaguely had a feeling that this item was definitely a treasure.

But, how exactly to use it, he was still a bit confused... Martial Academy:

Chu Qing had the maidservants put away the hand drill.

Then, he fitted a section of round wood onto the drill bit.

Finally, he put the white bone bead onto it.

"Crank it!"

Chu Qing ordered.

Lan Lan eagerly snatched the hand drill to crank it.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

The white bone bracelet rotated.

Chu Qing touched it with his finger.

The next second, information frantically refreshed:

[Rubbing Beads +1]

[Rubbing Beads +1]

It refreshed ten times per second.

Efficiency increased a hundredfold.

Great!

Chu Qing said happily, "You all take turns cranking this thing."

"Don't stop!"

"Yes!"

Thus:

Chu Qing sat cross-legged, simultaneously activating the Black Water Bone Forging Method and increasing his Rubbing Beads progress.

As he was progressing, a thought suddenly struck him;

"The third condition is to view beauty as white bones."

"Why don't I also observe a beauty at the same time?"

Thinking of this, he had the cold maidservant stand in front.

One minute... five minutes... the Rubbing Beads had already reached thousands of times.

However, the 'viewing beauty as white bones' remained completely still.

"Could it be that she isn't beautiful enough?"

Chu Qing then looked at Zhao Hongxiu and Lan Lan.

These two were even prettier than the maidservants.

Yet, there was still no progress.

Chu Qing frowned, pondered for a moment, then said to the cold maidservant, "Take off your clothes."

"Yes!"

The cold maidservant shyly undressed.

One minute... five minutes... still no reaction.

What was going on?

Chu Qing frowned.

Zhao Hongxiu, who was nearby, suddenly unbuttoned her clothes.

A few minutes later, Chu Qing shook his head.

Zhao Hongxiu tidied her clothes and said, "Um... Qing Ge'er, how about I go to the Outer Courtyard and find a few even prettier ones?"

Chu Qing's heart stirred, then he shook his head and said, "No need!"

"The beauty I need is not what you think."

Lan Lan suddenly said, "Cui Moyang, Nangong, and Mingyue, they are all prettier than us, and... they also have more temperament."

Chu Qing's eyes lit up.

That's right, these people in front of him weren't pretty enough, but Cui Moyang and the others were not bad.

He immediately instructed the maidservants to go find Cui Moyang and the others.

Half an hour later:

The maidservants brought Nangong over.

"Young Master, Mingyue and Cui Moyang are both in seclusion."

Chu Qing nodded, looking at Nangong.

Today, Nangong was wearing a black dress.

Her long hair cascaded over her shoulders, and her jade ornaments jingled.

Every movement, every glance of her beautiful eyes, captivated one's soul.

[Observing beauty +1]

At this moment, Chu Qing smiled.

Nangong curiously asked, "Is something wrong?"

Chu Qing coughed and said, "Nangong, I am Cultivating a Cultivation Technique that requires reaching the Realm of viewing beauty as white bones."

"And you, you are a beauty."

"I need you to help me Cultivate!"

Nangong rolled her eyes and said, "Are you having bad thoughts about me?"

Chu Qing quickly shook his head.

"I really need you to help me Cultivate!"

Nangong lazily stretched.

[Observing beauty +2]

"Tomorrow!"

"Tomorrow it's time to ascend to the third floor of the Stone Tower, I want to adjust my state today."

Chu Qing was stunned for a moment and said, "Is it time to ascend the tower again?"

"Time passes so quickly!"

Recalling the last time he ascended the tower, it felt like it was yesterday.

That time, they annihilated a Qin Family.

This time... "Who dares to stop us from ascending the tower?"

Nangong lay on the table, resting her chin on her hand, a small foot gently swaying, and said:

"Those sons of the Powerful have been restless lately."

"They always want to defeat us!"

[Observing beauty +3]

Chu Qing smiled, "They are all a bunch of weaklings, nothing to fear!"

Nangong said plaintively, "You have Perfected Gold Tendons."

"I haven't yet!"

"I'm scared!"

After speaking, she even patted her chest.

[Observing beauty +10]

Chu Qing... He discovered that the more alluring Nangong's posture, the faster the progress of Observing beauty increased.

At this moment, he had only one thought:

How to make Nangong more alluring.

As for ascending the tower?

Heh heh... Now, he could ascend the tower with his eyes closed.

Perfected Gold Tendons gave him full confidence.

"Nangong, as long as you help me Cultivate, I can give you the most top-grade luminous pearls!"

Nangong feigned suspicion, "Really?"

"Truer than true gold!"

Chu Qing patted his chest to guarantee.

Nangong said happily, "Then that's fine."

"How do I help you Cultivate?"

Chu Qing's expression was serious, trying to make himself look as proper as possible:

"You use every means to tempt me."

Nangong... Huh?

Chu Qing... Hmm!

"Shameless!"

Although Nangong possessed innate charm, she was virtuous.

Even with Ximen, her childhood friend, she had never been intimate, let alone tempted other people.

Now, Chu Qing actually wanted her to tempt him?

"Lead Big Brother, I thought you were a gentleman!"

"I didn't expect you to want to monopolize me?"

"You have so many women around you already, do you still care about me?"

Nangong gritted her teeth.

Chu Qing explained, "I'm really doing it for Cultivation."

Nangong sneered.

She actually knew that Chu Qing would never make a move on her.

But, for some reason, the thought of herself, a Prodigy from a Powerful Family, having to tempt a Mud Leg?

Even if this Mud Leg was more Powerful than her, even if it was fake, she couldn't accept it.

"One top-grade luminous pearl a day."

Nangong... took a deep breath and said, "It's a deal!"

Chu Qing nodded.

"I'm helping you Cultivate, not for the luminous pearls!"

"But because you are the Lead Big Brother."

"The stronger you are, the more benefits there are for us."

"That's why I'm helping you Cultivate!"

Chu Qing nodded.

Nangong bit her red lip and added, "At that time, you must make them leave!"

Chu Qing nodded.

Nangong also said, "You... must not tell Ximen!"

Nangong stamped her foot and said, "You must not tell Mingyue and the others."

Chu Qing nodded, eagerly saying, "Nangong, don't dilly-dally, come quickly and help me Cultivate!"

Nangong... Zhao Hongxiu and the others...
