Chapter 17 Fate
"Hahaha, young man, you are really funny." 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 someone else, he would definitely make some comments. Lu Xingshi's answer is rare.
"It's okay." Lu Xingshi curled his lips. Most of the content in the rumor newspaper is about someone fighting with a sword, someone going north, or friction between major sects.
If you want to talk about the front page, it must be the Tianshan Sword Contest, which is probably a group of masters who have nothing to do and are preparing to fight in a crowd.
It's all for the sake of deciding who is better.
As the saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts, and there must be someone who is not convinced.
In addition, there is news about the human-bear alien species, which occupies a small page, which should be the local news of Youping County.
The credit fell on Gao Li, and Lu Xingshi did not take the credit, but there was also the matter of the county magistrate of Youping County, which opened his eyes.
A closer look shows that Gao Li was belittled openly and secretly, but the Youping County magistrate was set off as wise and brave.
He figured it out. This should be a way to steal the credit.
It was only because Gao Liren was injured and there was no Rumor Report in Quemi Village that he would not have done this.
"Have you read it? If not, I'll give you this one." Lu Xingshi said.
In his eyes, this Rumor Report was more like an IQ tax. He was fooled once and would definitely not buy it again next time.
It was just to fool the lower-level people in the underworld.
"You haven't read it yet, so I'll be disrespectful." The old man was stunned. He didn't expect Lu Xingshi to say that.
Lu Xingshi stuffed the Rumor Report into the other party's arms, and then said: "Then you take your time to read it. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
After that, he left directly. Everyone met by chance, so why bother so much.
Seeing Lu Xingshi so straightforward, the old man couldn't help but smile: "This kind of character, this kind of talent, is incredible."
His eyes rolled, and suddenly he wanted to accept 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", "Tun Na Gong" and "Huan Yuan Gong" to perfection at such a young age.
The martial arts are indeed common, but it does not mean that they are really easy to practice. This kind of martial arts is easy to learn but difficult to master, and the benefits are low, so there are few people who practice it.
"But I have to test it. This boy is really what I want." The old man did not feel 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 hate it, it is naturally ignorant of etiquette.
Although he had the idea of accepting a disciple, he could not speak immediately. He had to observe the other party and accept him as a disciple at the right time, instead of jumping out suddenly.
After Lu Xingshi left, he was thinking, should he buy some light skills next?
It doesn't matter whether he can beat him or not, but he must be able to run.
He found a bookstore and started browsing.
There were only a few books on Qinggong for sale, and they were common goods. How could good things be sold here?
"Pack these three books on Qinggong for me." Lu Xingshi quickly selected them.
"Floating on Water", "Flying on Grass", and "Lifting and Leaping Techniques" are three books that cover all aspects of Qinggong.
Three taels of silver were spent, and Lu Xingshi wanted to buy another set of boxing and kicking kung fu, but when he saw that the minimum price was five taels, he twitched his eyes.
Killing and killing are expensive.
However, boxing and kicking kung fu actually covers some skills, body movements, and steps. After all, it is used for fighting, so it is normal to be more expensive.
Lu Xingshi didn't buy it in the end. He really couldn't afford it.
He had so little money on him, so he didn't have to worry about food and drink. Besides, he didn't want to cause trouble and encounter the trouble of showing off his wealth in Fuyan Town before.
After flipping through it casually, he learned it directly, and then the little man in the game also learned and completed it.
"The speed of movement has increased all of a sudden." Lu Xingshi was also happy. If he had these three perfect Qinggong, not to mention more, the time to come to Youping County could be shortened by two-thirds.
This is just a passive increase. Active use can be faster, but active use consumes internal force.
"You learned it now? No, it's perfect!!!" The old man watched Lu Xingshi enter the bookstore and buy three books on Qinggong. As a result, after flipping through them, the other party's speed suddenly increased a lot.
From the other party's walking, there are indeed shadows of floating on water, flying on grass, and lifting and leaping.
After observing for a while, it is confirmed that the other party is really perfect right after starting.
"What kind of talent is this..." He murmured in a low voice.
He has seen geniuses, but he has never seen such a genius. Others have to practice, but you don't need to practice, and you are perfect directly.
Qinggong is not like internal strength, it is more like a skill, so most of them need to practice hard, and these three Qinggong are indeed easy to get started and easy to practice.
But this is not a reason for you to achieve perfection without practicing.
"Try again!" A gleam of light flashed in the old man's eyes.
If Lu Xingshi's talent is so amazing, then he won't do any tests, just accept him as a disciple, and if he doesn't want to, he can take him away first.
…
Lu Xingshi walked on the road, thinking about where to sleep at night.
He definitely won't go to the inn, because he really doesn't have money.
So he can just find a place without wind to wait.
Just thinking about it, a child stopped him.
"Young man." The other party said while handing the oilcloth package in his hand to Lu Xingshi: "This is an old man who asked me to pass it to you, saying that it is to repay your rumor."
"Ah this...Okay, thank this old man for me." Lu Xingshi looked around and didn't see the other party, but he also accepted it and said.
The child left directly after speaking. Lu Xingshi opened the package and saw that it was a secret book called "Five Elements Gong".
"This secret book seems to have a different origin."
"It can beat "Hunyuan Gong" by ten streets in quality."
"So I met the plot of a master playing in the world?" Lu Xingshi was stunned. This time, it took him a full ten minutes to learn this "Five Elements Gong".
Seeing this, Lu Xingshi also understood one thing, that is, his three-dimensional attributes should start to increase!
If he learned it within five minutes, he could still accept it. Ten minutes means that he can no longer keep up with the quality of the skills and must make changes.
After all, falling 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.
