My sister-in-law has extraordinary comprehension; she's actually a saintess of the demonic sect

Chapter 23 Passing on the Skill to My Sister-in-Law, the Wonderful Uses of Changchun Gong

In the stillness of the night, the candlelight flickered in the study.

Yang Qian asked Xiao Cui to prepare hot water and clean clothes, while he led Qin Shuyu to the room where he usually handled business.

This place is quiet and private enough to be suitable for teaching internal martial arts techniques.

Qin Shuyu was still a little nervous, her small hands tightly gripping the hem of her clothes, and her cheeks were flushed.

Although she had made up her mind, the thought of having that kind of intimate "transfer of skills" with her uncle still made her heart flutter like a deer.

"Sister-in-law, sit cross-legged on that futon over there, relax your mind, and don't think about anything."

Yang Qian's voice was gentle, carrying a reassuring power.

"Um."

Qin Shuyu nodded obediently, walked to the prayer mat, and, imitating Yang Qian, sat cross-legged, trying to calm her breathing.

Yang Qian walked up behind her and looked at her slender and beautiful back and her smooth black hair. He couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart.

But he quickly regained his composure and put all distracting thoughts aside.

When imparting internal skills, the most taboo thing is to be distracted or have a wandering mind.

He took a deep breath, slowly extended his palms, and placed them on Qin Shuyu's smooth and supple vest.

"Well……"

Qin Shuyu's body trembled violently as a warm sensation came from her back, making her feel weak all over and her cheeks burning hot.

She could clearly feel her uncle's broad, strong hand pressed tightly against her skin. The unfamiliar masculine scent made her flustered and unable to concentrate.

"Sister-in-law, concentrate your mind and focus your energy!"

Yang Qian's voice, like the morning bell and evening drum, rang in her ears.

"I am now going to pass on the mental techniques and formulas of Changchun Gong to you. Remember them carefully and then try to understand their meaning."

"The way of Heaven is to take from what is in excess and give to what is lacking; therefore, emptiness overcomes fullness, and lack overcomes excess..."

Yang Qian's voice was deep and magnetic as he clearly recited the introductory techniques of the "Eternal Spring Kung Fu," word by word.

Qin Shuyu dared not be negligent and quickly composed herself, memorizing every word Yang Qian uttered.

Strangely enough, although the incantation of the "Eternal Spring Skill" sounded somewhat obscure, when Yang Qian recited it, she felt that it was not difficult to understand. It was as if those words had a natural and inexplicable affinity with her.

Soon, Yang Qian had finished imparting a beginner's manual of several hundred words.

"Sister-in-law, have you written it down?"

"I've...I've written it down."

Qin Shuyu answered softly.

"very good."

Yang Qian nodded, and increased the pressure on his hand.

"Now, I will channel some internal energy into your body, guiding you to complete the first cycle of energy circulation according to the cultivation method. This process may cause some swelling and pain, so you must endure it. No matter what happens, do not move around or actively resist with your internal energy, understand?"

"I...I understand."

Qin Shuyu swallowed nervously.

"Let's begin."

After saying this, Yang Qian no longer hesitated.

He mobilized the purest and most peaceful internal energy he had cultivated from the "Eternal Spring Skill" and carefully transferred it into Qin Shuyu's body through his palm.

boom!

A warm current instantly surged into Qin Shuyu's back, then began to flow slowly along her meridians.

"Well……"

Qin Shuyu groaned, feeling an unprecedented and strange sensation spread throughout her body.

Her meridians, having never had any internal energy flow, appeared somewhat dry and blocked.

When Yang Qian's internal energy flowed through her, it was like a long-parched riverbed suddenly receiving a flood. The sour, numb, swollen, and painful sensations made her want to curl up.

"Hold on, sister-in-law!"

Yang Qian's voice rang out again.

"This is a normal reaction to the opening of your meridians! Guard your mind and feel the direction of this internal energy flow!"

Qin Shuyu bit her lip tightly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

She could feel the warm current rushing through her body, gradually clearing away the blockages.

Although it was painful, she could feel an indescribable sense of relief every time a spot was opened up.

Yang Qian's mind was completely focused.

Qin Shuyu's body was weaker than he had imagined.

Many tiny meridians are in a semi-closed state.

If it were someone else, it would probably take ten days to half a month just to clear these meridians during their first cultivation, and they might even injure themselves if they weren't careful.

But Yang Qian was different.

He had perfected the Everlasting Spring Technique, and his internal energy was incredibly pure and inexhaustible.

More importantly, his understanding of this technique has reached an unbelievable level.

Under his guidance, the internal energy seemed to come alive, precisely and gently cleansing every meridian in Qin Shuyu's body, gradually clearing away the accumulated impurities.

Time is passing by, second by second.

The study was so quiet that only the two of them could be heard breathing steadily.

The pain on Qin Shuyu's face gradually faded, replaced by a healthy blush.

She could clearly feel that her body was undergoing some kind of wonderful change.

My hands and feet, which were always cold, started to feel warm.

My body, which was always somewhat weak and powerless, was now filled with a faint sense of strength.

Most miraculously, her heart, which had always ached from years of overwork and excessive worry, suddenly felt much better.

She was so immersed in this wonderful feeling that she even forgot the passage of time.

After an unknown amount of time, Yang Qian's gentle voice finally rang out again.

"Alright, sister-in-law, one cycle of Qi circulation has been completed. Now, try to activate that wisp of Qi in your dantian and guide it along the path I just guided you through."

As he spoke, Yang Qian slowly withdrew his hand.

Qin Shuyu's body swayed slightly as she regained consciousness from that mystical state.

She opened her eyes, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise and disbelief.

"Uncle, I...I feel...so warm and comfortable..."

"This is the effect of internal force."

Yang Qian smiled, his face slightly pale.

The guidance he received just now, lasting for a week, was quite taxing on him.

"Sister-in-law, try cultivating on your own. I'll go outside to protect you."

As Yang Qian spoke, he walked out of the study.

He needs some time to recover the internal energy he just used up.

Looking at Yang Qian's slightly tired back, Qin Shuyu felt a surge of emotion and heartache.

She didn't say anything more, just nodded vigorously, then closed her eyes and began to try to circulate the magical "Eternal Spring Skill" on her own.

……

Meanwhile, in the front hall of the mansion.

Qian Sizheng respectfully reported the latest situation in the town to Yang Qian.

"Master, ever since the people from the Blazing Fire Sect moved into the Tongfu Inn that day, the atmosphere in the town has become even more eerie."

Qian Si's face showed a hint of solemnity.

"The Fiery Gate?"

Yang Qian raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, it's the largest sect in Nanyang County, the Blazing Fire Sect."

Qian Si quickly explained,

"The leader of the team is the sect leader's eldest disciple, known as 'Blazing Blade,' Zhao Wuji, who is said to be a master at the eighth level of the Acquired Realm. There is also the sect leader's closed-door disciple, nicknamed 'Red Serpent Fairy,' whose strength should not be underestimated."

"After they arrived, they didn't cause trouble like the previous groups. They simply booked the entire Tongfu Inn and stayed inside. But our people discovered that they had secretly sent out many spies to gather information throughout the town."

"What information are you looking for?"

Yang Qian asked.

"They inquire about everything."

Qian Si said,

"Some are inquiring about that 'Lin Yichen,' some are inquiring about the bounty offered by the prefectural governor, and... and some are inquiring about our manor and you, our master."

Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Yang Qian's eyes.

"It seems their goals aren't so simple either."

"yes."

Qian Si said with a worried expression,

"I'm worried they've already become suspicious of our identities. The temptation of a low-level cultivation technique is too great. Although the Blazing Fire Sect is a reputable sect, it's hard to guarantee they won't have some wicked intentions."

"Besides the Fiery Sect, are there any other people worth noting?"

Yang Qian continued to ask.

"have!"

Qian Si answered immediately.

"Just yesterday, two more groups of people came to the town. One group was from the second largest gang in Nanyang County, the Raging Waves Gang. The leader was their deputy gang leader, 'River-Turning Rat' Wei Cheng, a master of the seventh level of the Dayafter Heaven Realm."

"The other group is somewhat mysterious. There are only three people: a blind old man, a lame middle-aged man, and a mute boy. Although they appear disabled, our people, observing from a distance, sensed an extremely dangerous aura emanating from them; they are definitely top-tier experts!"

"Blind, lame, mute?"

Yang Qian's brows furrowed even deeper.

This combination doesn't sound like a friendly pair.

"Master, Qixia Town is now a mixed bag, full of hidden talents and crouching tigers."

Qian Si concluded,

"The Blazing Fire Sect, the Raging Waves Gang, and those three mysterious disabled people, plus all the other large and small forces and independent individuals—if they really start fighting over that local-level cultivation technique, we…"

Qian Si didn't say anything more, but his meaning was already quite clear.

Their numbers are simply insufficient compared to these truly powerful forces in the martial arts world.

Yang Qian fell silent.

He knew that Qian Si's concerns were not unfounded.

Qixia Town is now like a giant powder keg.

And that local-level cultivation technique is the fuse.

Everyone is waiting for an opportunity to light the fuse.

Or rather, they were all waiting for news that would confirm that "Lin Yichen" was indeed in Qixia Town.

"Looks like we need to add fuel to the fire."

A glint of light flashed in Yang Qian's eyes.

He needs a greater chaos to conceal his presence, and a bloody massacre to gain more potential points!

"Qian Si".

"Your subordinate is here!"

"Go, spread a message for me."

A cold smile curled at the corners of Yang Qian's mouth.

"It is said that someone found traces of 'Lin Yichen' in the mass grave on the west side of the town."
