My Martial Arts Can Train Themselves

As a matured martial arts, it was logical that it would train itself even when the owner didn’t want to. When Yang Yi had traveled back in time and became the least talented apprentice of Master Qi Xia, he planned to return home and work his family business. Unfortunately, the master arts in his body weren’t going to let him do that.

Listen to My Teachings

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

There were more than 10 towns of varying sizes scattered across the Sunset Mountains near the Qixia sect.

They were affiliated to the Qixia sect and paid their tithes. If they ran into trouble, they would seek protection from the Qixia sect.

Apart from the missions issued by the sect, there were also many requests for help from minor sects. Even the adjudication of some personal disputes would sometimes be taken to the sect.

There were time-consuming chores with low risks and low returns, but there were also tasks that put one's skills to the test. It all depended on whether one dared to accept them.

Xu Menghua had seen many rich disciples like Yang Yi before.

Each of them wanted to cultivate until they were invincible before they left the sect.

However, their final achievements were rarely satisfactory.

Yang Yi had only been in the outer sect for a month, so it was normal that he had not started accepting missions.

Xu Menghua was also fond of talented people, which was why he told Yang Yi about all this.

However, telling someone else too many things might not always be the best course of action.

"I will remember that!" Yang Yi was deeply touched.

He was not especially close to Xu Menghua, so it was rare for the manager to say so many heartfelt words to him.

In the path of martial arts, one really had to rely on hard work and diligent cultivation instead of the accumulation of resources alone.

Money was but an object. Although it was worth relying on, it was not omnipotent.

Did the cultivation bases of the rich necessarily improve quickly?

Were the rich men really as happy as the average person imagined them to be?

The happiness of the rich man was not something that the average person could imagine.

Yang Yi sighed.

Xu Menghua had reminded him about this fact.

The Mission Hall was indeed a good place to test his strength.

However, this was not the time. Yang Yi wanted to cultivate in silence for now. He wished to reach the Bone Refining stage, at least.

He had lots of money, so he did not consider becoming a disciple on duty.

Also, he considered himself too weak to leave the sect now, as he was only at the Blood Refining stage.

"Since you listen to my teachings, there's no time to lose. Report to the Mission Hall tomorrow." Xu Menghua did not give Yang Yi the chance to retort.

"..." Yang Yi's face stiffened.

This guy was not playing by the rules!

He looked at Xu Menghua and saw that the manager's face was cold and stern. There was no room for arguments.

He could only agree.

"Understood."

He could not afford to offend a manager over such a trivial matter, could he?

Moreover, the manager's intentions were good.

"Don't worry, I am not asking you to kill demonic beasts right away. There are many types of missions. You can try to understand their contents and choose the basic ones to start with."

Xu Menghua waved his hand, indicating that Yang Yi could leave.

Before Yang Yi left, he stopped him and said, "Since you're listening to my teachings, you can come and look for me if you encounter any problems in the cultivation of martial techniques such as the Mountain-hugging Fist."

"Thank you, manager Xu!" Yang Yi was overjoyed.

He bowed and left.

When he passed by the training field, he found that Jian Wenbin and the others had already left.

Yang Yi stopped and collected the spirit accumulation points here before heading to the Spiritual Spring Mountain.

After experiencing the effects of the spring, he went there to cultivate for four hours every few days.

"Hello, Junior Brother Yang! I have some interesting goods today!" Han Houchun greeted him as soon as he reached the top of the mountain.

Ever since Yang Yi learned that the Mountain-hugging Fist ate demonic beast meat to increase its strength, he bought some demonic beast meat from Han Houchun every time he paid a visit to the Spiritual Spring Mountain.

Of course, he would buy them at the normal price.

Han Houchun was eager to please Yang Yi, who had now become his regular customer. The two of them became familiar with each other over the course of their dealings.

"Let me have a look." Yang Yi moved to the front of the stall.

"This is green bull python jerky. The beast was at the Spiral Force realm, making this a rare item. I had to do a fair bit of talking to save a portion for you."

Spiral Force was the first level of the Strength Entry realm.

Han Houchun took out a paper bag from the cabinet and carefully opened it, revealing a meat strip as thick as a pinky finger.

Yang Yi immediately smelled the rich fragrance of the meat. He could not help but salivate.

"Hehe, the green bull python meat can increase the amount of Qi and blood, and it tastes good. Therefore, the competition on the market is tight for this. If I wasn't already a Bone Refining cultivator, I definitely wouldn't give it to you," Han Houchun said without being prompted. It was hard to tell if he was telling the truth.

"Senior Brother Han, I'm a regular customer. Don't con me."

To be honest, Yang Yi was tempted.

After reaching the intermediate stage of the Mountain-hugging Fist, the next thing he needed to do was to focus on cultivating the Crimson Afterglow Technique to the third level.

In other words, he had to break through to the Bone Refining stage.

Demonic beast meat might not have that much of an effect on him, but it was better than nothing. It could help in his cultivation.

After a round of bargaining, Yang Yi finally got a palm-sized bag of green bull python meat.

"Fortunately, I brought a lot of money with me when I left home. When I was a general disciple, I didn't spend too much money."

Yang Yi was filled with confidence. Before going to the bamboo house, he bought some simple herbs for a medicinal bath.

After comparing the other herbs, Yang Yi suspected that he had been conned by Zhuang Chenglu.

The nine-thorns flower was not even comparable to the ordinary herb packets that were sold at a nearby stall for 10 taels of silver.

The effects of treating hidden injuries aside, the ordinary herb packets were at least more comfortable to soak in.

He decided that he would confront her about this when the opportunity comes.

How could she deceive an outer sect Junior Brother, when she was an inner sect Senior Sister?

Inside the secret room.

Yang Yi soaked in the spiritual spring to relieve his tiredness.

After more than two hours of concentrated cultivation, he was a little out of breath.

The essence of the spiritual spring had almost been completely cultivated. For the rest of the time, he planned to enjoy it like soaking in a hot spring.

He placed a green bull python meat into his mouth and chewed on it.

At the same time, he opened his attribute panel.

Host: Yang Yi

Realm: Blood Refining (385/500)

Spiritual accumulation points: 300

Learned martial arts: Crimson Afterglow Technique, Mountain-hugging Fist

Pending martial arts: None

Number of scans: 1

Recently, he requested 11 feedback reports from the Crimson Afterglow Technique every day. He was 20% away from the experience points he needed to break through. At this rate, he would be able to completely break through to the Bone Refining stage in less than half a month!

This speed was already comparable to some inner sect geniuses.

Originally, Yang Yi wanted to wait until he had broken through before visiting the Mission Hall. He did not expect Xu Menghua to force him to take on missions so soon.

"Oh well. At least he did not force me to choose any specific mission."

Yang Yi planned to find an easy mission to go through the motions, for now.

"Crimson Afterglow Technique, 10 times!"

[Your Crimson Afterglow Technique has cultivated on the Spiritual Spring Mountain. Its cultivation base advanced by leaps and bounds. Experience +7.]

Out of the 10 feedback reports, only one of them triggered a special event.

This was considered good, but there were no reports related to the green bull python, which made Yang Yi feel somewhat regretful.

He also discovered a fact that was difficult for him to accept. Whether it was the Crimson Afterglow Technique or the Mountain-hugging Fist, their aptitudes in all aspects far surpassed his own. They even surpassed him the absorption of the demonic beast meat's essences.

Therefore, sometimes, Yang Yi ate demonic beast meat just to increase the probability of triggering special events for the feedback reports.

If he relied on himself, he would be hard-pressed to increase his strength significantly even if he ate until his stomach burst. If he had access to some extremely rare demonic beast meat, that would be a different matter.

Yang Yi returned from the Spiritual Spring Mountain in a relaxed state and slept.

The next morning, after absorbing the Afterglow Qi, he went to the Mission Hall.

There were many disciples going in and out of the Mission Hall.

It was divided into three floors. Body Tempering disciples could accept all the missions on the lower floors, but were barred from the topmost floor.

Yang Yi looked around the first level. He did not see Xu Menghua. He asked the disciple on duty and found out that Manager Xu was not coming today.

Yang Yi thought about it and decided to take a look around.

"What is your current realm? What kind of mission do you want to take on?"

The disciple on duty held a pen in one hand and prepared to make a record. Then, he would choose a suitable mission from the list and present it to Yang Yi.
