Zhen Nantian looked at the shopkeeper and said calmly: "You are very dedicated, but you are already old. You have the will but not the strength."
"Grandpa, what happened?" Zhen Zhilan was confused.
The shopkeeper also looked confused and didn't understand the meaning behind his words.
Sighing, Zhen Nantian took out the paper ball again and said, "That young man just now was right. You know nothing about martial arts!"
What?
Is the problem with martial arts?
The shopkeeper himself recalled the content of the two hundred words of martial arts and said: "Old Palace Master, I am wronged! Judging from the content of the two hundred words of martial arts, no matter the performance, moves or connection, it is very mediocre. It is definitely inferior and old.
I still have some discernment!”
"Really? You can practice martial arts and try it." The old palace master said.
The shopkeeper stood up and practiced the two hundred-character martial arts technique from memory.
I thought I could simply perform the moves in the martial arts, but as a strong man in the mid-level, he has tried countless advanced martial arts, but he still can't perform the martial arts coherently and freely, as if he is missing something.
"I'll give it a try!" Zhen Zhilan volunteered, seeing that she was very competitive.
She also felt that this martial art was common and should be easy to master.
Who would have thought that if she really practiced martial arts, her movements would be so clumsy that she would be far inferior to the shopkeeper.
"What's going on? It seems like a very easy move to connect, but why can't I connect it?" Zhen Zhilan was unconvinced and tried a few more times, but made no progress at all.
Zhen Nantian put away the paper ball and said: "Martial arts are divided into three levels. Inferior martial arts are simple and ordinary, superior martial arts are mysterious and profound, and the best martial arts are complex and simple."
"This book of martial arts is a book of top-notch martial arts. It seems ordinary, but in fact it contains great mysteries. Please read carefully!" Zhen Nantian demonstrated this martial arts on the spot.
Its internal energy is like turbulent waves, gathering in the nine fingers, and then blowing out continuously.
Waves of inner energy came out and hit the rockery in the distance.
Just listen to the sharp sound of popping, popping, and nine deep holes were drilled in succession.
Its power was so powerful that the shopkeeper and Zhen Zhilan took a breath of cold air.
"Excellent martial arts?" The shopkeeper was stunned.
Zhen Nantian finished his work and shook his head: "To be precise, it is the best of middle-grade martial arts, very close to high-grade martial arts."
"Now, do you have anything else to ask?" Zhen Nantian looked at the shopkeeper.
The latter's face was full of bitterness, and he said: "Thank you, the old temple master, for your teachings, and thank you for the many years of cultivation in the temple. I'm old and gone!"
He actually mistook a book that was close to high-grade martial arts for a low-grade martial arts that was inferior.
Such mistakes are a shame for a treasure appraiser like him.
There is no need for the temple to drive him away, he has no shame to stay.
Zhen Zhilan felt regretful and murmured: "Where did that kid get so many advanced martial arts skills?"
First, there is the incomparable brilliant mental method, and then there is this "Walking in the Snow in Search of Plum Blossoms" with only two hundred words.
"Then what are you waiting for?" Zhen Nantian stuffed the materials and Lei Huo Jiao into her hands.
Zhen Zhilan understood the idea, her eyes lit up, and she immediately ran after him.
Kankan caught up with Xia Qingchen who was about to leave at the entrance of the temple.
"Little...young master, wait!" She originally blurted out the word "boy", but changed the title when it came to her mouth.
Xia Qingchen turned his head and saw that it was her. He stopped and waited for her to run over: "Is something wrong?"
"Here!" Zhen Zhilan handed over the materials and Lei Huo Jiao.
Xia Qingchen was slightly confused, what was the identity of this girl named Zhilan? Can she take things at will from the counter?
"What do you want?" Xia Qingchen asked after receiving no reward for his efforts.
Zhen Zhilan's eyes were filled with anticipation: "Martial skills! That martial skill that punches nine holes!"
She didn't know the name of the martial arts, so she could only imitate her grandfather's moves.
The look of him eager for martial arts but clumsy at imitating it makes him proud, and his elegant temperament adds to his naivety.
"It's "Walking in the Snow in Search of Plum Blossoms," right?" Xia Qingchen said, "But I only have half of it."
Half?
That's enough!
Half of them are comparable to high-grade martial arts, and their value is much higher than the materials in hand.
"good!"
Xia Qingchen wrote down half of it on the spot, exchanged what he needed, and left straight away.
Zhen Zhilan came back holding half of the martial arts skills with a face full of joy.
Zhen Nantian looked forward to it and stepped forward and asked, "Did you get the question?"
"I asked, I asked! Look!" Zhen Zhilan happily held up the martial arts skills.
Unexpectedly, Zhennan Tian was startled: "Who wants you to ask about martial arts? I want you to ask about his name and origin, and make friends with him! Don't tell me, you didn't even ask about his name."
After making good friends with Xia Qingchen, will it be difficult to exchange martial arts skills in the future?
Even if the guarantee is not complete, he also knows how to improve the "Bending the Sky Fragment" and even cure his twisted martial arts.
This is the most important!
"Ah? I... forgot." Zhen Zhilan rubbed her hands guiltily and lowered her head in shame.
She saw that "Walking in the Snow to Seek Plum Blossoms" was extremely powerful, so she only focused on this martial arts book.
"Hey! You, I...oh!" Zhen Nantian stamped his feet in anger, blowing his beard and staring: "Then why are you standing there, not chasing after me?"
"Oh!" Zhen Zhilan was as aggrieved as a pitiful little tabby cat. She shrank her neck and turned around to chase Xia Qingchen.
However, after such a long time apart, Xia Qingchen had already left and disappeared.
She looked around at the door, anxious and helpless. How could she explain to her grandfather now?
"Miss Zhen! Why are you so reluctant to go out? Is there anything I can do for you?" Just as he was anxious, a wealthy middle-aged man walked next to him.
He is dressed in brocade clothes, has a big belly, and is followed by several bodyguards who are in the realm of the Great Chen.
There was tact and philistinism in his eyes.
At first glance, one could tell that he was an important figure in the city, but in front of Zhen Zhilan, he bowed his head a little.
Who dares to disrespect the granddaughter of the former martial arts myth and the precious daughter of the current temple master?
"It's you, father is inside." Zhen Zhilan glanced at him, recognized him, and said nonchalantly.
The wealthy middle-aged man in front of him is Wang Bahu, the owner of the Immortal Pavilion in the city.
When his father was not the master of the temple, he had been acting as a servant beside his father.
Later, his father took over the temple and sent him to be self-reliant. Relying on his status as the temple master's servant, he built a business and founded the most luxurious Immortal Pavilion in Yungu City.
You should be looking for your father now, right?
"There is no rush to find the temple master. If Miss Zhen has something urgent, I can take care of your worries first." Wang Bahu knew very well that Zhen Zhilan was the future heir to the temple.
If he doesn't please her now, his glory will be gone forever when she takes over as the master of the palace.
Zhen Zhilan hesitated for a moment and asked: "Did you see a young man walking past just now? He is about the same age as me. He is tall and thin."
Wang Bahu thought for a moment and said, "But the one who was talking to the girl at the door just now?"
He had just seen Zhen Zhilan talking to Xia Qingchen at the entrance of the temple from a distance, so he took another look at Xia Qingchen.
"Yes, yes! It's him! Do you know who he is?" Zhen Zhilan asked with joy on her face.
Wang Bahu said without hesitation: "I recognize you, Xia Qingchen!"
Xia Qingchen was so frightened that he fainted during the martial arts examination and became the laughing stock of the whole city.
He often attended various banquets. During the drunken banter, he almost recognized Xia Qingchen's name. How could he not recognize her?
So I recognized it at a glance just now.
"Who? Xia Qingchen?" Zhen Zhilan was stunned. Even someone like her who couldn't cultivate in the inner levels of the temple had heard of Xia Qingchen's cowardly deeds.
But that loser is the same person as the enigmatic Xia Qingchen in the temple?
