Chapter 73

A Ku was gnawing on a sesame cake, her cheeks puffed out, eyes narrowed into little crescent moons, completely unaware that her fate was about to be changed.

The Internal Energy Heart Technique can use the Green Wave Heart Technique; Wu Chengyu's current unnamed heart technique, which is not yet perfected, has a rather high floor, and its complexity is unimaginable — even Wu Chengyu himself would find cultivation extremely difficult without the Internal Vision ability and the Bamboo Slips' guidance; it is not suitable for an Ordinary Person.

The Green Wave Heart Technique can be practiced by newcomers upon entry; its floor is low but its growth potential is extremely high. It cannot be called a Divine Skill, but in this world it is also top-tier, and it can prolong life. Basically, once mastered, the floor is a Yipin Gaoshou; beating the likes of Lu Youjiao is not a problem.

For Lightness Skill, use Crane Shadow Flowing Light. In Tianlong, the utterly vicious Cloud Crane, as a flower-picking thief, managed to roam free for so many years without being beaten to death; this set of Lightness Skill contributed greatly. In terms of speed for long-distance raids and escaping for one's life, it is not inferior to Duan Yu's Lingbo Weibu.

If a girl is to wander the Jianghu in the future, her Lightness Skill must be good; this is also the best Lightness Skill Wu Chengyu has on hand.

As for the remaining fist, foot, and weapon skills, they naturally must start from the basics. Yan Qing Fist has a significant effect for building a foundation, and even Outside Surname members at Wu Family Slope can practice Yan Qing Fist with agreement; Wu Chengyu only needs to report to Wu Zhengliang, and A Ku's daily practice won't be too conspicuous.

Other profound fists, palms, and weapons can be selected for A Ku after her Foundation is firmly established; it's not too late.

As for the techniques the Bamboo Slips gave Wu Chengyu, the Ox-Horse Stance and Turtle Breath Technique are the Root, but these two are too difficult to enter; especially the Ox-Horse Stance, too bitter, too painful — Wu Chengyu couldn't bear to let A Ku suffer that hardship.

Cat Step and Eel Technique can be considered for teaching A Ku later; these two techniques are also good at preserving life.

Practicing this whole set of things, the flesh on A Ku's body will probably be hard to keep; will the little fatty girl cry later? Wu Chengyu felt the smile he currently directed at A Ku must carry a touch of evil, but he expressed satisfaction with his own idea.

"Right, still don't know A Ku's aptitude; just now I was a bit presumptuous. If her aptitude is poor and she forcibly cultivates, in the end it only adds Annoying troubles; still need to learn to teach according to aptitude."

Aptitude — this kind of thing is hard to discern just by looking at appearance; Wu Chengyu also has no experience. Fortunately, he can directly inquire of the Bamboo Slips.

Bamboo Slips: "Mo Ku's innate physical aptitude is extremely excellent; compared to the Host who has not practiced Ox-Horse Stance and Turtle Grandson Technique, there is roughly a Huang Yaoshi's gap in between."

One sentence nearly made Wu Chengyu choke with rage; didn't expect A Ku's aptitude to be this good, actually above Huang Yaoshi.

In terms of aptitude and comprehension, Huang Yaoshi should already be the world's most top-tier; most of his Martial Arts are self-created, and he can still spare attention to study formations, medicine, divination, astrology, and other miscellaneous studies; so A Ku's aptitude is good to a frightening degree — this was truly unexpected.

But comparing me to you is a bit excessive; fortunately there are Ox-Horse Stance and Turtle Grandson Technique to improve aptitude, otherwise Wu Chengyu would have basically no hope of becoming a Martial Arts master in this life.

But the Bamboo Slips' next sentence made Wu Chengyu frown.

"Mo Ku encountered great calamity in infancy, suffered a serious illness and nearly lost her life; afterwards she lived in hardship for years, nutrition extremely lacking, damaging her own Root. Suggest reshaping the Foundation first before practicing martial arts; otherwise, forcibly practicing will only cause physical collapse."

At this moment Wu Chengyu's face was as calm as water; his eyes fixed on A Ku, adding a few degrees of worry.

Whether A Ku practices martial arts or not actually doesn't matter; as a Transmigrator he has confidence to let A Ku be happy and carefree for a lifetime.

Before, he just didn't want to waste so many Secret Manuals, and wanted to help A Ku lose some weight, give her something to do; but now the problem is A Ku's body has issues. According to common sense, this kind of damage to the Foundation in youth will also affect lifespan after growing up.

A Ku sensed Wu Chengyu's gaze, temporarily stopped chewing, two big eyes blankly looking at Wu Chengyu; Wu Chengyu hurriedly switched to a smile, even making a move to snatch the pastry from A Ku's hand. A Ku giggled; although she was greedy, she was never stingy, and immediately stuffed the pastry into Wu Chengyu's hand.

Wu Chengyu rubbed her head, returned the pastry to her, told her to eat slowly; only then did A Ku turn her Attention back to eating.

"Bamboo Slips, is there any Method to help A Ku?" — right now the only thing that can help A Ku is his Jinzhizhi.

"With the Host's current resources and Martial Arts this cannot be done, or it is very difficult to find a solution in this world."

"Then what about you? As a Jinzhizhi, you should be omnipotent; you must have a way."

"Xiong Chu Mo: Top-tier Foundation reshaping method, break and then stand; through Stance Standing, Qi Service, assisted by food supplementation and medicine supplementation methods, increase the body's absorption ability; in sleep, subtly and silently, recreate the Foundation, increase lifespan by one Jiazi."

Wu Chengyu directly ignored the name Xiong Chu Mo; the names the Bamboo Slips gives have never been proper, and Xiong Chu Mo already sounds much better than Ox-Horse Stance and Turtle Grandson Technique.

"One Jiazi? Under normal circumstances, A Ku's current condition living to forty or fifty is no problem; adding one more Jiazi, lifespan approaches a hundred years — enough."

A hundred-year lifespan; this isn't a Xuanhuan Cultivation world where people casually live hundreds or thousands of years; even for Martial Arts masters, a hundred-year lifespan is already longevity. A stone in Wu Chengyu's heart finally dropped; have to say, the Bamboo Slips is really effective.

"Suggest Mo Ku, after reshaping Foundation, also cultivate Su Nu Gong; Su Nu Gong can enhance female bodily functions, clear internal disease foci, clear external impurities and toxins entering the body, can increase lifespan by another ten years."

Good thing; fortunately got Su Nu Gong from the Murong Family; otherwise where to find it on short notice.

Wu Chengyu let out a Breath; problem found, problem solved; early discovery, early Zhiyao; as long as A Ku is fine, anything is good.

"Give me this Xiong Chu Mo."

"Bamboo Slips directly giving technique requires Host to resolve unfair matters, or clear unfair intentions in heart; otherwise only has function of guiding Cultivation."

As expected, Wu Chengyu knew the Bamboo Slips wouldn't give things for nothing; but now knowing A Ku's situation, he didn't want to wait any longer.

"What Method to get this technique right now."

"Host can advance draw; next reward after resolving heart-knot paid in advance; must complete task within two years."

Understood; Wu Chengyu currently has two things to do: one is find Yizhenfeng's remnants to avenge father-killing hatred; one is think of a way to encircle and kill the Black Wind Twin Demons.

Both these things belong to the previous Wu Chengyu's heart-knots; as long as completed, they will inevitably receive Bamboo Slips rewards.

Yizhenfeng hid back in the Jin Kingdom and hasn't appeared for a short time; in the future Wu Chengyu might have to enter the Jin Kingdom to search for traces, but timing is hard to grasp.

So the Black Wind Twin Demons became the only Target for these two years; two years later they might have run to the Mongolian Desert; but at least must wait until Wu Chengyu's Martial Arts rises another level before proceeding; truly time waits for no one.

"I agree; give me the Xiong Chu Mo technique."

"Xiong Chu Mo: through Stance Method tempering body, Qi Service breathing, enhance practitioner's eating ability, enhance practitioner's absorption ability; use nutrients absorbed from outside world to restore Foundation, excavate own potential, supplement congenital deficiencies.

Drawback: Cultivation takes three years total; during this period, large amounts of energy gather in practitioner's body, body gets fat; must wait until after Winter to imitate bear hibernation, use body's nutrients in sleep to subtly transform and restore body; sleep three days, wake a few days, until this year's Accumulated energy is fully absorbed."

Meaning for the next three years, the little girl will become even more able to eat, even fatter; finally in Winter become extremely sleepy?

Truly worthy of Xiong Chu Mo; this name really wasn't misnamed; also really suits A Ku's greedy-eating personality. Problem is, originally wanted her to lose weight; now what to do.
