Chapter 13 – Jade Maiden Heart Sutra
Damn, this book title seems off, "Jade Maiden Heart Sutra," sounds so familiar.
It seems like the name of a movie from my past life. Could it be that this internal skill truly exists in this world?
Let's take a look at its content. Flipping open the cover, I saw the introduction to the general outline, and Huang Ye's head suddenly felt a size larger.
The technique is quite orthodox, with a total of twelve levels, each realm comprising three levels. Mastering it to the extreme can reach the peak of the Martial Emperor.
There's a note at the end stating that the technique is still under development, and readers can develop subsequent techniques themselves.
He could accept that the technique isn't complete, but what he couldn't accept was that this was a technique for women to cultivate. How could he, a man, learn it?
Turning to the middle pages, the illustrations were all of female bodies, and the style was quite eye-popping.
In this situation, he thought of another martial arts manual—"Sunflower Manual."
At least the "Sunflower Manual" was a technique for men to cultivate, but even if it were given to him for free, he wouldn't practice that castrating skill!
Now with this "Jade Maiden Heart Sutra," it's truly untrainable. Huang Ye couldn't help but furrow his brow.
"Young Master, is something wrong?"
"Qing'er, is this the only technique they gave you?"
"Yes, Brother Xu gave me this one. He said it was suitable for me to cultivate."
"It is indeed suitable for you to cultivate; it's a technique for women, not suitable for men."
"Ah! So you can't cultivate it. No wonder Brother Xu dug it out from the bottom of the box."
Qing'er recalled how the guard Xu turned the box upside down to find this technique for her.
She thought the technique was precious, which was why it was hidden so deep.
She ran back excitedly with the book, not expecting it to be a technique others didn't use.
"Young Master, should I go and ask for a technique suitable for men?"
"No, if you go now to ask for a man's technique, they'll definitely be suspicious."
"Let's not rush this matter; we'll borrow it after some time. Then you can say you want to study it."
"I'll first study this technique. Although the internal structures of men and women are different, the acupoints are basically the same."
"You know about this too?" Qing'er asked curiously.
"Yes, I know a bit," Huang Ye replied guiltily.
At the same time, he thought to himself, it's okay if I don't know; my system is an encyclopedia, surely good with physiology.
He read through the "Jade Maiden Heart Sutra" and roughly went through its content.
Closing the book, he fell into deep thought.
It seems that this technique truly can't be cultivated. It particularly emphasizes the feminine yin energy.
The consequence of long-term cultivation would be that the yin energy dominates, continuously weakening his masculine yang energy.
If he really cultivated it, he might end up becoming G, A, Y.
His orientation would definitely change, not much different from cultivating the "Sunflower Manual."
"Qing'er, I've looked through it; this technique is suitable for you to practice, but I can't cultivate it."
"Don't be discouraged, Young Master. In a few days, I'll go find Brother Xu and the others. I'm sure we can find a technique suitable for you."
"That's all we can do."
"By the way, can we buy techniques outside?"
"I'm not sure either. Tomorrow I'll go to the bookstore to see if they sell techniques."
"Bookstore? Is it a place that sells books?"
"Yes, there are a few bookstores in the city, selling all kinds of books."
"If it's that kind of place, there's no need to go. Even if there are martial arts manuals, they're trash, not worth reading."
"I'll first learn this set of fist techniques; there's no rush for the internal skill."
With that, he picked up the fist technique manual and started flipping through it. The name of the fist technique was quite ordinary—"Wuji Fist."
Huang Ye was not familiar with these moves, but he felt that this fist technique seemed quite ingenious, completely different from the boxing principles of his previous life.
He began practicing the moves step by step according to the manual.
Two hours later, after practicing the thirty-six moves, he felt as if he had learned them.
He performed the moves once in the room, a bit clumsy at first, but much smoother the second time.
By the fifth time, he could execute the moves as smoothly as flowing water.
Hmm! It doesn't seem too difficult.
Qing'er had been watching Huang Ye the whole time, her face showing admiration.
"Young Master, you're so focused when you study!"
"Uh, you should also learn this set of fist techniques and see how long it takes you to master it."
"Young Master, why should I learn fist techniques? I only learned some martial arts when I had nothing to do before. Now that you're awake, I have a lot to do."
"Just learn it if I tell you to, no need for so much talk."
"Alright, I'll give it a try," Qing'er pouted as she agreed.
Though reluctant, she still picked up the fist manual.
"Young Master, I don't quite understand this move."
"Figure it out slowly on your own."
Qing'er mimicked the moves while trying to understand them. Huang Ye didn't guide her, just watched her movements from the side.
Half an hour later, she finally managed to clumsily execute the first punch.
"Young Master, this punch is so difficult. It requires coordination of hands and feet, gathering energy, and has three different variations."
"Keep trying to understand!"
An hour later, Qing'er finally managed to perform a complete punch, though some small details were still off.
"Alright, no need to practice anymore. I just wanted to know how long it would take you to grasp this punch."
"Did I pass, Young Master?"
"Haha, whether you passed or not isn't important. Actually, I wasn't testing you; I was testing myself."
"Ah! I get it. Just now, Young Master, you seemed to have practiced many punches. Did you really learn all the moves?"
"Yes, I should have learned them all, except for practical application."
"How is that possible?" Qing'er exclaimed, her mouth wide open in surprise.
"Young Master, it took me half an hour to learn just one move, and I still didn't get it right. You managed to learn all the moves in an hour."
"Could it be that you're also a chosen one, a martial arts prodigy like the First Young Master?"
"Haha, it's not that exaggerated. I don't really know. I just felt that these moves weren't difficult when I looked at them."
"When learning each move, it felt like I could grasp a variation after trying a few times."
"So I wanted you to try it and see if my comprehension was different from ordinary people."
"I misunderstood you, Young Master. I thought you were forcing me to learn because you thought the fist technique was good."
"I just woke up and don't know what it takes to practice martial arts."
"You mentioned that those guards have been practicing since childhood. I also think martial arts need to be practiced from a young age."
"Although you practice occasionally, it's different from them, and there's no need to endure such hardship."
"You just need to be beautiful."
Qing'er's face blushed slightly, making Huang Ye momentarily stunned. This girl truly was a beauty.
"Young Master, I'll definitely be beautiful. I'll go prepare some food for you," she said and then dashed off.
Watching Qing'er's disappearing figure, Huang Ye thought to himself, could it be? This girl can actually be shy. I thought she didn't have that function.
Having finished practicing the fist technique, Huang Ye found himself idle. He picked up the "Jade Maiden Heart Sutra" again.
With nothing else to do, pondering over this technique could also pass the time.
