Chapter 0006: The Classic of Purple Qi Approaching the Sun
The fierce wind scattered, lifting the strands of hair on Du Shaofu's forehead. He staggered back three steps before finally steadying himself against the wall. Raising his head, he looked around, and the bright, dark eyes on his resolute and determined face blinked. The entire third floor of the Cangwu Tower was empty, not even a shadow of a ghost was seen.
"Well, Lao Bai, I appreciate your attitude. Rest assured, I have also promised you that I will not embarrass you in front of others." Du Shaofu said with satisfaction as he patted Fu Yibai's shoulder, then strode into the Cangwu Building
Cangwu Tower, this is not the first time Du Shaofu has come here. Although each visit has not been entirely aboveboard, he is quite clear about the location of the Du family's martial arts and techniques.
Du Shaofu wanted to find the highest "Purple Qi Rising in the Morning" of the Du family, but after searching the third level, he found nothing. Instead, he came across the "Xuan Yang Hao Qi Jue" and the "Ming Yue Jue," but he had no desire to cultivate these two sets of techniques.
After briefly looking at some introductions to martial arts techniques, Du Shaofu picked up a set of martial arts skills and tucked it into his bosom. Then, it seemed he noticed something special nearby and casually collected it as well
Do not forget, I am your elder brother. What, do you have any objections
Who is it
Fu Yihong was already in a bad mood, and his expression immediately darkened. He directly threw the old broom in his hand to the young man and left without looking back
Listening to Du Shaofu's words, Fu Yibai immediately wilted, his face breaking into a brilliant smile. He chuckled softly and said, "You go in, I will keep an eye on things for you. Feel free to look at whatever you want, and if you need anything, just find me anytime."
Du Shaofu seemed quite satisfied with Fu Yibai's performance, but as soon as Fu Yibai heard that Du Shaofu wanted to go to the Cangwu Tower, he immediately curled his lip, revealing his somewhat yellowed old front teeth, and looked at Du Shaofu saying: "What do you want to do in there? You must understand that not everyone can come and go freely in the Cangwu Tower."
"What martial arts should I choose? What is the use of learning so many martial arts? One cannot chew more than one can swallow. First, sweep the floor for me."
Who exactly is it
Du Shaofu stared intently at Fu Yibai, but did not give the old man any good expression. He raised an eyebrow and said lightly: "What was the vow we made back then? Whoever loses must call the winner 'big brother' and thereafter must unconditionally obey big brother. If this vow is violated, one will suffer from frequent urination, urgency, and inability to fully relieve oneself for a lifetime, in addition to developing hemorrhoids!"
Who is this old man? He is Fu Yibai, the elder of the family, before whom even the head of the household must bow and pay respects. Yet, he refers to a foolish young master of the Du family as elder brother, which is truly astonishing
Du Shaofu ascended effortlessly to the third floor of the Cangwu Tower, which housed the high-grade martial arts and techniques of the Du family
Looking at Du Shaofu's back, Fu Yibai felt a gnawing resentment, regretting that he had made such a venomous vow in the first place
It would be great if this little rascal were truly foolish, but unfortunately, it is just a pretense of foolishness
Suddenly, while Du Shaofu was searching everywhere for the "Purple Qi Rising to the Sun Sutra," a sound of breaking wind came from behind him, and a strong gust of wind arrived in an instant.
Finally, Du Shaofu arrived at the second floor of the Cangwu Tower and searched for a while before leaving with satisfaction
The boy's previously cheerful face suddenly turned aggrieved, yet he had no choice but to grasp the broom in his hand and obediently begin to clean, not daring to slack off at all
The majority of the disciples from other clans primarily cultivate the "Xuan Yang Hao Qi Jue" and the "Ming Yue Jue," which have also reached the high-grade level of the Yellow rank
Swish
The martial arts are categorized into four levels: the highest being the Heavenly level and the lowest being the Yellow level. Each grade is further divided into three sub-grades: Initial, Intermediate, and Advanced.
Master Fu, I have been ordered to go to the second floor to select a set of martial arts techniques
No objections, no objections, who told you that you are my elder brother
Yes, Mr. Fu
Du Shaofu reached out and grasped this object, which was a small tower with a bronze hue, only the size of a thumb, appearing quite unremarkable. It was covered in a thick layer of dust, suggesting that it had not been noticed by anyone in ordinary circumstances
He casually tucked the small tower into his bosom, while Du Shaofu was still puzzled about who had just made a move against him. He could only plan to go out first and figure it out later
Although the Ziqi Chaoyang Sutra was not found, since he has come to the Cangwu Tower, with Du Shaofu's character, he would not return empty-handed. While he may not be able to cultivate the Ziqi Chaoyang Sutra, he can still practice martial skills. How could he not be able to use that mysterious move as soon as he makes a move in the future
At this moment, if someone from the Du family were to see this old man addressing Du Shaofu in such a manner, it is likely that the entire Du family would be turned upside down.
At that moment, a young man in splendid attire ran out joyfully, as those who could come to the Cangwu Tower to select martial arts techniques were all individuals who had received rewards within the clan
I came to see you and thought I might take a stroll around the Cangwu Tower
Recalling the bet made back then, Fu Yibai now finds himself in tears without the ability to cry. Even after several years, he still struggles to understand how it was possible for him to lose, especially to a fool.
The cultivation methods practiced by the members of the Du family mainly consist of three sets. It is said that the most powerful of these is called the 'Purple Qi Rising Sun Sutra', which has reached the initial level of the Xuan grade. Only the family head and a very few important individuals within the clan are permitted to cultivate it
In this lifetime, when it comes to betting, Fu Yibai lost this one and only time, and it was a loss shrouded in ambiguity. That curse was also cast by him, and recalling that curse, Fu Yibai couldn't help but touch his withered backside
Since Du Shaofu intended to cultivate martial arts, he planned to practice high-grade techniques. After all, no one in the clan paid him any attention, and he could overlook some violations. Sometimes being regarded as a fool had its advantages; if he were discovered, there would be no way to avoid it. He decided to cultivate first and deal with the consequences later
Although no one was seen, Du Shaofu encountered something extraordinary, an object that inexplicably fell from a crevice in the corner of the wall of the building, landing precisely on Du Shaofu's forehead
If it weren't for the recent backward steps that shook the wall, it is likely that nothing would have fallen from the crevice between the wall and the building.
This time, Du Shaofu entered the Cangwu Tower with the purpose of finding a suitable cultivation technique
Whoosh
After sizing up this unremarkable little tower for a while, there seemed to be nothing particularly special about it; it was perhaps just a trinket. However, Du Shaofu's mind was more preoccupied with who had just ambushed him.
Oh, what is this
Where should the "Purple Qi Rising to the Sun" be placed
Du Shaofu's gaze suddenly sparkled with brilliance. Reacting instinctively, he quickly stepped back while simultaneously turning to the side. His hand seals formed, and a surge of mysterious energy leaked from his body. This energy then spiraled around him, creating strange arcs that ultimately converged in the palm of his hand. With his fingers clenched into a fist, a fist imprint coalesced, with faintly visible talismanic patterns flickering, directly colliding with the fierce wind that had just surged behind him.
The third floor of the Cangwu Tower is exceptionally spacious, with not many items placed around, exuding an ancient atmosphere. Of course, aside from the head of the Du family, there are probably very few people who can casually come to the third floor like Du Shaofu does now.
