Chapter 27: Common Ground
Qian Jin was kicked out by Ma Yu and there was nothing he could do.
If you want to improve, you can only practice little by little on your own. Although it will be slower, you will eventually be able to reach perfection.
It's a pity that the higher the level of martial arts, the slower it is to cultivate. The speed at which proficiency can be improved is less than one-tenth of that of beginner martial arts.
Now that he has learned quite a few superior martial arts, it would probably take him forever to reach the highest level in any one of them.
Especially this Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Palm Technique, it truly lives up to its reputation as the most difficult palm technique to master in the Quanzhen Sect. When I practiced it myself, the rate at which my proficiency increased was extremely slow.
It seems unlikely that his grand ambition to learn all the martial arts of The Return of the Condor Heroes will be realized.
Even if he has a cheat like a proficiency panel, does that mean he can still only choose to master one or two martial arts?
Qian Jin frowned, feeling somewhat resentful.
How can we further accelerate his progress?
Ok?
He had previously misled his fellow disciples, saying that the principles of martial arts are interconnected, and that although various martial arts are very different, they also have commonalities.
Although he has learned many martial arts, he has not yet mastered any of them to the highest level.
That's why I've never been able to grasp the commonalities among martial arts.
But if he can master one or several martial arts techniques to the extreme, wouldn't that also help him in cultivating other martial arts techniques?
The more Qian Jin thought about it, the more he felt that this method was worth trying.
Of all the martial arts he has learned, the Haotian Palm is the most advanced, having reached the eighth level of mastery.
Moreover, the Haotian Palm is a beginner-level martial art, and the proficiency increases relatively quickly when practicing it.
Besides the Haotian Palm, there is another basic martial art, the Taizu Long Fist.
Although he had only bought this martial art from a beggar, and his proficiency with it had even stagnated for a time.
However, compared to other martial arts, this one is also the fastest to learn.
So for the next period of time, why not focus on cultivating these two martial arts to the highest level and see if it will be helpful for other martial arts?
……
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Qian Jin had made great progress in his martial arts training.
According to Qian Jin's prediction, within seven days, he would be able to cultivate both Haotian Palm and Taizu Long Fist to the highest level.
However, today is the day for him to examine Yang Guo and Cheng Yaojia's martial arts skills.
I wonder if Yang Guo has taught Cheng Yaojia the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Palm Technique in these three days.
Upon arriving at Yang Guo's residence, Qian Jin saw Yang Guo and Cheng Yaojia diligently practicing martial arts from afar, which pleased him greatly.
He immediately smiled and said:
"How's it going? Have you two mastered the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Palm Technique in just three days?"
Upon seeing Qian Jin, Yang Guo immediately approached him and then pulled him towards the room.
"Master, you've finally arrived."
"Senior Sister Cheng has prepared a surprise for you. Come in and take a look!"
Qian Jin was taken aback when he heard this. He saw Cheng Yaojia standing to the side with her head down and not saying a word, and he became curious.
So he let Yang Guo pull him into the room.
"Alright, now you can tell me! What's the surprise?"
When Qian Jin asked, Yang Guo hurriedly urged Cheng Yaojia to bring out the gift.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yaojia went inside and retrieved a white robe, which she then handed to Qian Jin, saying:
"Uncle Qian, I don't know what you like, so I sewed a long robe for you myself."
This is just a small token of my appreciation; I wonder if it will fit you, Martial Uncle.
Looking at the long robe in Cheng Yaojia's hand, Qian Jin couldn't help but smile awkwardly and said:
"Haha, I was just joking with you that day, why did you take it seriously?"
I'm almost embarrassed by the expensive gift you gave me.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yaojia quickly shook her head and said:
"Uncle Qian, this is just an ordinary long gown, it's not worth much money."
"Even if my uncle hadn't mentioned it that day, I would still have sewed him a long robe, so there's no need for him to feel embarrassed."
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin said with a solemn expression:
How can the value of a gift be measured in money?
As the saying goes, a small gift carries great meaning. I felt the heartfelt sentiment from this long gown, so it is a very precious gift to me.
I'm so touched by your gift.
"what?"
Cheng Yaojia had also sewed Taoist robes for Sun Bu'er, but her master always just took them casually and never said anything like that to her.
This was the first time she had felt that her efforts were so valued.
She had never been recognized like this before, especially by someone she had always admired.
Cheng Yaojia felt her heart pounding uncontrollably, and she dared not look Qian Jin in the eye any longer.
Just as Cheng Yaojia was so nervous she didn't know what to say, Yang Guo suddenly jumped out and said:
"Master, Master, Senior Sister Cheng and I originally planned to sew a Taoist robe for you."
But then we thought about it and realized, Master, you are young and promising, handsome and dashing, how could you be like those old Taoist priests!
So we changed our plan from sewing a Taoist robe to sewing this long gown. Master, it will look very beautiful on you.”
As Yang Guo spoke, he took the long robe from Cheng Yaojia's hands, held it up in front of Qian Jin, and continued:
"Master, please put it on and see if it fits. If there's anything that doesn't fit, then Senior Sister Cheng can help you alter it."
Seeing Yang Guo approach and try to help him take off his clothes, Qian Jin slapped Yang Guo's hand away and said:
"What's the rush? I'll change it myself."
Soon, Qian Jin took off his tattered Taoist robe and put on a brand new white long gown.
It must be said that since Qian Jin transmigrated, he has spent most of his time dealing with elderly people, so he has become somewhat unkempt.
Especially after joining the Quanzhen School, following the principle of "when in Rome, do as the Romans do," he casually picked up a Taoist robe and put it on.
Wearing the white robe meticulously sewn by Cheng Yaojia, he instantly exudes a heroic aura, and his entire demeanor has undergone a significant transformation.
"Master, you look so handsome in this long robe, I'm completely captivated by your good looks."
I'm certain that in this world, Master, you must be the most handsome man.
Although I knew Yang Guo was just flattering me, I still found it quite pleasing to the ear.
So he said:
"In that case, I'll wear it from now on."
Yang Guo chuckled upon hearing this and said:
"Master, does that mean you won't wear Taoist robes anymore?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin said:
"I have no intention of becoming a Taoist priest, so I don't need to wear a Taoist robe all the time. I only wore it before because I saw that my fellow disciples were wearing them, so I just grabbed one to wear."
