With Mr. Xu's status, he could definitely teach Xu Ling how to practice cultivation himself. However, it would have been fine if Mr. Xu didn't teach him back then, but now he actually asks me for help to get Xu Ling back on the path of cultivation. Isn't this a waste of time
Elder Xu glanced at Yang Qi and said with a complicated expression, "It is the sect's rule that the skills of lay disciples cannot be passed on to others!"
Not to be spread outside
Yang Qi was stunned, he did not expect that the reason why the Xu family did not become a martial arts family was because of this reason. However, the sectarianism in the Chinese martial arts world has always existed, and the sect's skills are not allowed to be passed on to outsiders. This is also very common in the Zichen Continent.
However, Yang Qi subconsciously ignored the skills that Old Xu had gained from his Dark Power cultivation. Skills at this level were extremely rare in the secular world, so naturally, they could not be passed on to outsiders. Earth was not the Zichen Continent. As long as one spent a little bit of Yuanjing, there were a lot of martial arts at the Martial Sect level. In Old Xu's era, even martial arts that had been cultivated to the Dark Power level were extremely important inheritances and were not allowed to be passed on to outsiders.
“That’s actually the case.”
Yang Qi has always been puzzled as to why the Xu family has such a strong man like Old Xu, but the younger generations of the Xu family did not embark on the path of cultivation. What he never expected was that it was because of the sect rule that the skills could not be passed on to outsiders!
"With Mr. Xu's status, it shouldn't be difficult to discuss with Shaolin, right?" Yang Qi looked at Mr. Xu and said.
Old Xu said solemnly, "I will not do anything that bullies others by taking advantage of my power, not to mention that Shaolin has saved my life."
Hearing this, Yang Qi's mouth twitched, and he felt a little amused. After all, Shaolin was one of the best martial arts sects in the world. If Old Xu didn't take the initiative to speak, how could Shaolin take the initiative to break the rules that had been in place for thousands of years
As for the remaining Yang Qi, he could already imagine that Old Xu was unwilling to trade with Shaolin under his own identity, and Shaolin was even less willing to take the initiative to speak. As a result, Old Xu did not pass on his kung fu to the Xu family's descendants for decades!
In fact, there are many stories about Shaolin martial arts that have been passed down outside of the sect. The Hong Fist practiced by the Hongmen sect is said to have come from Shaolin. There is even a saying that all martial arts in the world come from Shaolin. Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, it is not wrong to some extent. The Chinese martial arts world has experienced countless hardships, and Shaolin is considered a relatively well-preserved martial arts sect. In addition, Shaolin recruited many disciples in ancient times, and its martial arts spread widely, which is why this statement came about.
Therefore, the rule that the martial arts mentioned by Old Xu must not be passed on to outsiders is not actually particularly strict. With Old Xu's status, if he makes some improvements and passes them on to the children of the Xu family, Shaolin will just turn a blind eye.
After figuring it all out, Yang Qi didn't know whether to say that Old Xu was stubborn or that he was trustworthy. However, he admired Old Xu very much in his heart. Just a rule of the sect was enough to make Old Xu keep his promise for decades!
"Mr. Xu is so trustworthy." Yang Qi sighed. What he didn't expect was that Mr. Xu had never passed on martial arts to the Xu family's descendants because of this reason!
One must know that there has been a rift in the cultivation world on Earth since the ancient war, and there is no means of prohibiting the spread of the techniques to outsiders like in the Zi Chen Continent. Even if one wants to pass on the techniques to outsiders, the contents of the techniques cannot be revealed.
"If a man has no integrity, he cannot stand." Old Xu said calmly.
Yang Qi was startled, then said seriously, "I am grateful for your advice."
Although Yang Qi attaches great importance to integrity, he is not as serious as Old Xu. In the world of cultivation, intrigue, murder and robbery are common. In many cases, the relationship between master and apprentice, and between brothers, is not as precious as a treasure.
"Don't worry, Mr. Xu. It's not difficult to let Xu Ling embark on the path of cultivation. I can agree to it." Yang Qi looked at Mr. Xu.
"Thank you, Mr. Yang."
Old Xu quickly stood up and bowed to Yang Qi with a slightly excited look.
"Um?"
Then, just as Mr. Xu was about to bow down, an invisible force held his body back, preventing him from bowing down.
"Mr. Xu, if you bow to me, I dare not accept it." Yang Qi said with a wry smile.
Old Xu was the man who followed Taizu to create China. If it weren't for them, it would be a question whether Yang Qi could be born. Yang Qi naturally would not refuse Old Xu's small request.
Old Xu was also a straightforward person. Seeing that Yang Qi did not accept his courtesy, he said directly, "Then let Xu Ling thank you himself."
The corner of Yang Qi's mouth twitched. At this moment, he finally understood why Xie Guangyao was so afraid of seeing Old Xu. Just a brief contact made him realize how stubborn Old Xu was.
Yang Qi immediately took action to cleanse Xu Ling's hair and marrow, and gave him some elixirs for cultivation. As for his future fortune, it depended on Xu Ling himself.
"I have already passed on the skills to you. You just need to remember the method of practice and practice diligently. As for how far you can go in the future, it all depends on yourself." Yang Qi looked at Xu Ling in front of him and said.
"Thank you, Mr. Yang." Xu Ling bowed slightly.
Yang Qi did not stop Xu Ling's thank-you gift, and continued, "I will be at Xie's house in the next few days. If you have any questions about your cultivation, you can come and ask me directly."
"Yes." Xu Ling nodded respectfully.
Yang Qi seemed to have remembered something and quickly said, "Oh, by the way, I have something to tell you. This technique is not forbidden to be passed on to others. You can pass it on to others."
He knew that because of a promise, Old Xu had not passed on the martial arts he had acquired in Shaolin for decades. With Old Xu around, Xu Ling would probably not dare to pass on the martial arts to others, so he informed Xu Ling in advance.
"Mr. Yang... this..." Mr. Xu's expression changed slightly.
“It’s okay, it’s just an ordinary martial art. At most you can cultivate it to the Martial Sect level.” Yang Qi said calmly.
This level of martial arts has no great value in the Zichen Continent. If he wants a martial arts technique that can only be practiced to the martial artist level, he will have to extract a section from these martial arts techniques, which will be even more troublesome.
Elder Xu looked at Xu Ling and said seriously, "Although Mr. Yang said that it can be passed on to others, if you pass on the skills to others at will, even if Mr. Yang doesn't care, I will not forgive you."
Upon hearing this, Xu Ling nodded quickly. He had only just started practicing and his understanding of the technique was very limited. Who could he pass it on to others
"The martial arts of the Martial Sect Realm is actually an ordinary martial arts method!" Old Xu said bitterly as he looked at Yang Qi who was leaving.
After Yang Qi's explanation, he naturally knew what level the Wuzong realm was. It was an existence that surpassed the Huajin and Taixi realms. Old Xu was very clear about the Taixi realm. The member of the Long family who was guarding the number one leader was only at the Taixi realm!
"Grandpa, Mr. Yang said that this martial art can be passed on to others, I think..." Xu Ling at the side suddenly spoke up.
"What are you thinking about?" Old Xu glared at Xu Ling coldly.
"I just want you to practice this technique as well." Xu Ling said with a wry smile.
Old Xu was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded. As a martial artist, he wanted to reach a higher level, but the martial arts he got from Shaolin was already at the limit of the late stage of dark energy, and it was almost impossible to make further progress. (To be continued)
