Chapter 607 - 341: Junior Chen Yi Pays His Respects...

Yuan Liu’er’s Martial Arts talent was even more outstanding than her Medical Dao. With her Innate Twelve Main Meridians unblocked, she would not encounter any bottlenecks in the Ninth Grade, Eighth Grade, or even Seventh Grade.

The subsequent Middle Three Grades Realm focused on cultivating "God." With her foundation in the Medical Dao, this shouldn’t be a major issue either. In other words, as long as Yuan Liu’er followed the step-by-step Cultivation process, breaking through to the Upper Three Grades Realm was only a matter of time.

Sooner or later.

As for Techniques...

Chen Yi looked Yuan Liu’er up and down. A faint glow flashed in his eyes as he used the Qi Observation Skill to inspect her muscles, bones, and overall physique.

He thought, "Women don’t primarily rely on raw strength; she should take a path of agility and dexterity.

"The Mountain Shattering Fist, Dragon-slaying Spear, and Brocade Spring Saber Technique all follow a fierce and forceful path. They aren’t suitable for her.

"Then..."

Chen Yi glanced at Pei Guanli beside him and immediately knew which Techniques he should teach Yuan Liu’er.

He mused, "For Pile Skills, I’ll focus on the Big Spear Pile Skill. Once her Cultivation reaches the Eighth Grade, I will pass on the Four Symbols Skill for her Inner Strength.

"As for Techniques, she needs one for unarmed combat and one for weapons. The former will be the Hundred Flowers Palm. For the latter, Sword Dao is the only viable option left, and the Celestial Flower Flying Sword Technique isn’t a bad choice."

Additionally, for Step Techniques, Wandering Dragon and Phoenix would be much more suitable than the Meteor Butterfly Step. As these thoughts raced through his mind, Chen Yi had already finalized the Martial Arts Techniques and skills he would pass down to Yuan Liu’er.

Pei Guanli noticed his gaze and broke into a bright smile. "Chen Yi, what are you looking at?"

Chen Yi naturally withdrew his gaze and looked at Yuan Liu’er again. After a moment of thought, he said, "I haven’t told you yet, but I’ve taken in a disciple."

Pei Guanli gasped softly. "Chen Yi, you have a disciple now?"

Chen Yi nodded. "That’s why I need your help with something. I’ll be participating in the Annual Examination for the next two days, so I’d like to ask you to teach my disciple the Big Spear Pile Skill."

"A Pile Skill? That’s easy." Pei Guanli patted her chest in assurance, then looked around curiously. "Chen Yi, you haven’t told me who your disciple is yet. Who’s the lucky guy?"

Chen Yi pointed at Ma Liangcai and said, "Him."

Pei Guanli followed the direction of his finger. The smile on her small face froze as she stammered, "Chen Yi... he, he’s a bit old, but I guess it works..."

Chen Yi smiled and shook his head. "I’m not asking you to teach him, but his disciple—my grand-disciple." He pointed at Yuan Liu’er and added, "That’s her."

Pei Guanli immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She sized up Yuan Liu’er and playfully agreed, "Leave it to me."

"Remember, only teach her the Pile Skill."

"Alright... But Chen Yi, isn’t the Big Spear Pile Skill a bit too mediocre?"

Chen Yi looked at her, raising an eyebrow. "Do you have anything that isn’t mediocre?"

Pei Guanli chuckled a few times and said sheepishly, "My family does, but Ah Ma won’t let me pass it on to outsiders..."

Chen Yi smiled and patted her forehead. "The Big Spear Pile Skill will do just fine."

With Yuan Liu’er’s talent, even the most ordinary Pile Skill would be more than enough to temper her body in the Ninth Grade Realm. Not to mention she also had the Black Tortoise Concealment Technique...

After finishing with business, Chen Yi secretly instructed Pei Guanli a bit more, as he temporarily didn’t want Yuan Liu’er to know his true identity.

"Don’t worry, Chen Yi! My lips are the tightest. Even Sister Jinghong hasn’t noticed..."

Chen Yi offered a few words of praise upon hearing this, but he shook his head inwardly. Having this Tiger Girl deliver the letter to Xiao Jinghong that one time had been a move made out of sheer helplessness. Fortunately, he had made preparations in advance so as not to arouse Xiao Jinghong’s suspicion. Otherwise, he would have likely been exposed by now.

They chatted idly for a few more moments.

Chen Yi was just about to leave Pei Guanli alone at the Jishi Medicine Hall and head to the Hundred Herbs Hall by himself. Suddenly, a surge of Heaven and Earth’s Spiritual Mechanism welled up inside the Medicine Hall. A faint halo rippled outward like a wave, lasting for ten breaths before gradually dissipating.

Pei Guanli seemed to sense something and looked around suspiciously. "Chen Yi, did someone just stir up Heaven and Earth’s Spiritual Mechanism here? Who is cultivating an Inner Power Heart Method or a Technique?"

Chen Yi didn’t respond to her. Instead, he looked at Yuan Liu’er with mild surprise. At this moment, Yuan Liu’er was still standing beside Ma Liangcai. Her eyes were slightly closed, but her body was undergoing visible changes. Nourished and replenished by that surge of Heaven and Earth’s Spiritual Mechanism, her originally emaciated figure filled out slightly, and her complexion became much rosier.

Chen Yi naturally knew this was because Yuan Liu’er’s body was far too weak from suffering long-term starvation. If it were him, with a body tempered to the absolute limit by the Big Spear Pile Skill, Black Tortoise Concealment Technique, and Four Symbols Skill, the fluctuations of Heaven and Earth’s Spiritual Mechanism caused by a breakthrough in a Technique Realm would have almost no effect.

He muttered inwardly, "But for her Medical Dao to reach the entry-level... how many days has it even been?"

He couldn’t help but glance at Ma Liangcai, who remained completely oblivious to the anomaly, and his lips twitched slightly in disdain. For someone with such unparalleled talent to follow Ma Liangcai was a true waste of potential.

He thought, "That dog. He’s studied the Medical Dao for so long and still hasn’t reached Minor Success. What an absolute blockhead.

"Truly... a disgrace to the sect, an absolute disgrace."

Chen Yi shook his head inwardly. He gave Pei Guanli a few low-voiced instructions before getting up to leave.

Watching him walk away, Pei Guanli skipped over to Yuan Liu’er and scrutinized her carefully.

"Chen Yi’s grand-disciple... Doesn’t that make me her martial grand-aunt?" Pei Guanli murmured. Her eyes curved into crescent moons as she smiled, making Ma Liangcai, who had noticed her, feel a chill down his spine.

However, he knew Pei Guanli had been brought here by Chen Yi, so he tentatively spoke up. "Miss, you..."

Pei Guanli cast him a sideways glance. "Call me Martial Aunt! What do you mean, ’Miss’?"

Ma Liangcai was momentarily stunned before suddenly realizing what she meant. He solemnly stood up, bowed, and greeted, "Martial Aunt. This disciple was impolite just now. Please forgive me, Martial Aunt."

Amused, Pei Guanli responded with a beaming smile. She then raised her chin, coughed lightly, and demanded, "Speak. What business do you have with your martial aunt?"

Ma Liangcai shook his head repeatedly, no longer daring to ask why she had been staring at Yuan Liu’er.

Pei Guanli waved her hand dismissively. "If there’s nothing else, go back to your work. Don’t interrupt me from observing Chen Yi’s good grand-disciple."

"Yes, yes, yes..." Ma Liangcai breathed a sigh of relief and sat back down.
