Chapter 20 - Medicine Valley Manuals (1/2)

“In addition, what kind of combat skills do you need?” Gong Xuan sat in the rocking chair in front of the bamboo house and asked his enthusiastic diciples.

“I want to master swordsmanship. By the way, why are we calling you Martial Elder Uncle?” Chu Ning inquired in an amusing tone.

“Nonsense, I am the great disciple of Master. No matter who will be your new master in the future, I will be older than him. Understand? What kind of combat skills do you need, Tang Seventh? Ye Shang?” Gong Xuan looked at Tang Seventh and Ye Shang.

“Saber methods.” Tang Seventh requested in his humble voice.

“Spear methods.” Ye Shang touched the black iron spear behind him and looked at his master with glittering eyes.

He has been using this black iron spear for more than two years. Because there was no high-end forging technology in Zhuyuan Village, the black iron spear of Ye Shang was rough with a bad texture.

“Okay, come to me tomorrow morning. This is the Bigu Pill, take one every three days. Go clean up your own place!” Gong Xuan once again gave them a bottle of medicinal herbs then waved goodbye.

Tang Tian and Chu Ning chose South and West, hence Ye Shang could only go to the east.

“Lil Thirteen, there are cliffs on the east side of this mountain. It’s very deep and there’s gas underneath, so stay away from it.” Seeing Ye Shang choose the east side, Gong Xuan advised him.

Gong Xuan was the great disciple of Taixuan Peak. Like Chu Lingxiao, Lu Jing and Tang Qianqian, he was the successor to the peak. He stayed here because of its peacefulness, meanwhile he also guarded the cliff which was previously guarded by four people, but since Gong Xuan was now at the zenith of his career, he alone was handed with the task of guarding the cliff.

Nodding to Gong Xuan, Ye Shang went to the east. After he walked several miles, he saw a bamboo house. Although it was not a run-down, it could be seen that it had been abandoned for a long time.

In the yard, he saw a broken hatchet. Picking it up, he started cleaning the yard and the trees around the bamboo fence. After that, he proceeded to clean the bamboo house.

An hour later, Ye Shang finished cleaning up his place, then he started to meditate, not because of the pressure from by Liu Yangyu and Gong Xuan but rather because Ye Shang had a great interest in cultivation.

He cultivated for one night and went to Gong Xuan when it was dawn.

In front of the bamboo building, Gong Xuan leisurely sat in the rock chair. “Lil Thirteenth, you are here very early and you seems to be in good shape. How is the injury?”

“Almost healed.” Ye Shang nodded with relief in his tone.

“Your body is quite strong. How come those two bastards are late?” After getting up and checking the injury of Ye Shang, Gong Xuan scolded.

Soon, Tang Tian and Chu Ning came over while blushing as they stood at the side of Ye Shang.

“Come earlier next time. These are the skill books you need. Bring them back after half a month.” Gong Xuan gave them three books.

“Martial Elder Uncle, is there any movement technique manual?” Tang Tian asked in an inquisitive tone.

“The new disciples only gets the chance to choose just one free manual. If you want more, then go earn some sect merit points!” Gong Xuan looked at Tang Tian with a creaking grin.

“So, there is also no weapon manual?” Chu Ning asked.

“Of course not.” Gong Xuan said while staring at Chu Ning.
