Chapter 17: Fate

  "Hahaha, young man is really humorous." The old man also smiled.

He has lived for so many years, and this is the first time he has encountered such an answer from Lu Xingshi. If it were anyone else, they would definitely make some comments of their own. However, an answer like Lu Xingshi's is rare.

"It's okay." Lu Xingshi curled his lips. The contents of the rumors in the newspapers were mostly about someone fighting with swords, someone going north, or friction between major sects.

If we talk about the front page, it must be the Tianshan Sword Fight, which is probably about a group of masters who founded a sect and have nothing to do and are preparing to get together for a fight.

The purpose is to determine who is better.

As the saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts, there are definitely people who are not convinced.

In addition, there is the news about the human-bear alien species, which occupies a small space and should be the local news of Youping County.

The credit went to Gao Li, and Lu Xingshi did not take the credit for himself. However, the matter of the magistrate of Youping County was also involved, which really opened his eyes.

If you look closely, you will find that Gao Li is belittled in both explicit and implicit ways, which in turn makes the Youping County magistrate look more wise and powerful.

He finally realized that this should be a way to steal the credit.

They only bullied Gao Liren because he was injured and there was no news of it in Quemi Village, otherwise they would not have done that.

"Have you read it? If not, I'll give you a copy." Lu Xingshi said.

In his eyes, this rumor newspaper was more like an IQ tax. Having been fooled once, he would definitely not buy it again next time.

It's just to fool the lower class people.

"I haven't seen it yet, so I'd be disrespectful to refuse it." The old man was stunned. He didn't expect Lu Xingshi to say that.

Lu Xingshi stuffed the rumor into the man's arms and said, "Then you take your time to read it. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

After saying that, he left immediately. They were just strangers, so why make so much trouble?

The old man couldn't help but smile when he saw how decisive Lu Xingshi was, "This kind of character and talent are incredible."

His eyes rolled around and he suddenly had the idea of taking in a disciple.

He naturally saw the martial arts that Lu Xingshi was practicing. It was rare for him to be able to practice "Qi Yin Shu", "Breathing Qi" and "Hunyuan Gong" to perfection at such a young age.

The martial arts are indeed common, but that doesn't mean they are easy to practice. This type of martial arts is easy to learn but difficult to master, and the benefits are low, so there are few people who practice them.

"But I have to test him first. This boy is really what I want." The old man was not dissatisfied with the other party's repeated surprises. Instead, he felt that the other party was a genius.

As for attitude, when you have a good impression, it is called neither humble nor arrogant.

If you feel disgusted, then you are naturally lacking in manners.

Although he had the idea of accepting a disciple, he couldn't say it right away. He had to observe the other person first and then accept him as a disciple at the right time, instead of suddenly saying it out of the blue.

After Lu Xingshi left, he was thinking, should he go and buy some Qinggong skills?

It doesn't matter if he can beat the enemy or not, but he must be able to run away.

I found a bookstore and started browsing.

There are only a few Qinggong items for sale, and they are common goods. How can good things be sold here?

"Please pack these three books on light skills for me." Lu Xingshi made his selection quickly.

"Floating on Water", "Flying on Grass" and "The Art of Leaping and Leaping" are the three books that cover all aspects of light Kung Fu in a relatively comprehensive manner.

Three taels of silver were spent just like that. Lu Xingshi still wanted to buy some boxing and kicking skills, but when he took a look, he saw that the minimum price was five taels, which made his eyes twitch.

Things like killing are expensive.

However, boxing and kicking kung fu actually also includes some skills, body movements, and steps. After all, they are used for combat, so it is normal to be more expensive.

Lu Xingshi didn't buy it in the end because he really couldn't afford it.

He only had so little money on him that he had no worries about food and drink. Besides, he didn't want to get into trouble like the one that happened in Fuyan Town where he showed off his wealth.

After flipping through it for a while, he learned it immediately, and then the little character in the game also learned and completed it.

"The movement speed has increased suddenly." Lu Xingshi was also happy. If he had these three perfect light skills at the beginning, the time it would take to reach Youping County could be shortened by two thirds.

This is just a passive increase. Active use can be faster, but active use will consume internal energy.

"You've learned it already? No, you've mastered it!!!" The old man watched Lu Xingshi enter the bookstore and buy three books on light kung fu. After reading them, his speed suddenly increased significantly.

Judging from the way the other party walked, he indeed had the shadow of floating on water, flying on grass and leaping.

After observing for a while, he confirmed that the other party could really achieve perfection right from the start.

"What a talent..." he murmured softly.

He has seen geniuses, but he has never seen a genius like this. Others have to practice, but you don't even need to practice and you can reach perfection directly.

Qinggong is not like internal strength, it is more like a skill, so most of them require hard practice. These three Qinggong are indeed easy to get started and easy to practice.

But this is not a reason for you to achieve Consummation without practicing.

"Try again!" A gleam of light appeared in the old man's eyes.

If Lu Xingshi's talent is so extraordinary, then he won't need to do any tests and can just accept him as a disciple directly. If the other party is unwilling, he can take the person away first.

…

Lu Xingshi was walking on the road, wondering where to sleep at night.

I definitely won't go to the inn because I really don't have the money.

So just find a place without wind and wait for it.

Just as he was thinking, a child stopped him.

"Young man," the other party said as he handed the oilcloth package to Lu Xingshi, "This is something an old gentleman asked me to give to you in return for your report."

"Ah...Okay, please thank this old gentleman for me." Lu Xingshi looked around and didn't see the other party, but he still accepted it and said.

The child left immediately after he finished speaking. Lu Xingshi opened the package and saw that it was a secret book called "Five Elements Kung Fu".

"This secret book seems to have a different origin."

"In terms of quality, it's far better than Hun Yuan Gong."

"So I am experiencing a scene where a master plays games in the mortal world?" Lu Xingshi was stunned. This time, it took him a full ten minutes to learn the "Five Elements Kung Fu".

Seeing this, Lu Xingshi also understood one thing, that is, he had to start adding points to his three-dimensional attributes!

If he could learn it within five minutes, he could still accept it, but ten minutes would mean that he could no longer keep up with the quality of the technique and he had to make changes.

After all, those who fall behind will be beaten.

"Alas, I only have the seventh level. I haven't reached the perfect tenth level. I have to find a place to practice this skill to perfection." Lu Xingshi sighed and muttered. The days when he could reach the maximum level as soon as he started learning were gone. This was something he couldn't accept. The experience expired not long after.
