Martial Arts: Starting from a Seemingly Real System

Qiao Rui turned a disaster into a blessing. Not only did his injuries heal, but he also passed two levels in a row and opened up the eleventh and twelfth meridians in succession, thus entering a first-class realm. When all the twelve meridians were opened up, he had a sudden inspiration and practiced and organized his martial arts repeatedly, which greatly improved his strength.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

There was applause from the side. It turned out that Huang Jingxuan and his sister were clapping and cheering. Old man Shuangjue was standing on the side drinking with an expressionless face. No one knew when he came over.

"Brother Qiao is so awesome!" Huang Jingxuan said with shining eyes. If he were as awesome as Brother Qiao, he would have killed his enemy long ago.

Qiao Rui smiled and nodded to Huang Jingxuan and his sister. He then looked at the bamboos that were destroyed by him and apologized to the Shuangjue Patriarch with embarrassment, "I was careless for a moment and ruined the ancestor's quiet place. I hope you will forgive me!"

The Shuang Jue Patriarch snorted and said, "Go away once you have recovered. It is enough that there is a little bastard who is ruining my spiritual medicine everywhere, and you are also ruining my fragrant bamboo."

"Yes, yes! I will leave soon, but I don't know what the reward for your help this time is?" Qiao Rui asked.

"Well, reward?" The Shuangjue Patriarch rolled his eyes, thought for a moment, pointed at Huang Jingyu and said, "My little good disciple has a great enemy, go and capture him and bring him to my disciple to avenge his anger!"

"No!" Two voices came at the same time. They were Huang Jingyu and Huang Jingxuan. The brother and sister looked at each other. Huang Jingyu said, "Master, my brother and I will personally avenge this!"

"Take revenge personally? You don't have a good aptitude for martial arts, and you are unwilling to learn how to use poison from me, so how can you take revenge?" The Shuangjue ancestor glared and said angrily.

"You can teach Jingxuan martial arts. Didn't you say that he has excellent aptitude for martial arts?" Huang Jingyu showed a flattering look to the old man Shuangjue and shook his master's hand coquettishly.

"No, my ancestor is an expert in both medicine and poison. I only teach you medicine and poison, not martial arts! Even if you are a little darling, you have to learn both my skills, and then I will consider whether to teach you martial arts or not."

The Shuangjue Patriarch gently shook off Huang Jingyu's hand and refused with an arrogant look on his face.

"Medicine is fine, but those poisons are ugly and smelly, I don't want them!" Huang Jingyu wrinkled his nose, feeling very aggrieved.

"My silly darling, most of the most basic poisons are like that, but as long as you learn quickly, you won't have to come into contact with them soon. You should know that advanced poisons are colorless, odorless, and invisible. They kill people inadvertently, and it's not easy to take revenge at that time. One dose of poison will guarantee that no one will be left alive!" said the old man Shuangjue.

"This... let me think about it!" Huang Jingyu answered weakly, obviously not taking it seriously.

Huang Jingyu is currently only willing to learn medicine and alchemy from the Shuangjue ancestor. He is quite resistant to learning the art of using poisons. The ancestor has tried to persuade him many times but to no avail. Seeing that Huang Jingyu is so perfunctory, he doesn't hold out much hope either.

The Shuangjue Patriarch looked at Qiao Rui and smiled sinisterly, "Then I'll change my request!"

He pointed at Huang Jingxuan and said, "Take this little bastard away, or he will be an eyesore to me, the ancestor!"

Huang Jingxuan's eyes lit up when he heard this. Instead of being discouraged by the ancestor's disdain, he showed an ecstatic look. He had long been bored of staying in this Medicine King Valley and was eager to go out and explore the world. A young man's heart could not be filled by just Medicine King Valley.

He looked at his sister Huang Jingyu excitedly, and saw that her face turned pale. Suddenly she realized something and her expression gradually fell.

The brother and sister were born together and depended on each other for survival. They had never been separated from each other since childhood, from an ordinary life to a difficult life until they were taken in by Medicine King Valley. Suddenly, when they heard that the Shuangjue ancestor wanted Qiao Rui to take Huang Jingxuan away, they felt reluctant to part and it was hard for them to accept it for a while.

"This..." Qiao Rui looked at Huang Jingyu hesitantly.

"What's this? You don't want to?" The old ancestor asked impatiently, his face darkening, as if he was saying, "If you dare not agree, just try it."

"There's nothing wrong with me, it's just Jingyu..." Qiao Rui felt a little reluctant when he saw Huang Jingyu's face becoming increasingly ugly, as if he was about to cry.

"You don't have to worry about this. My little darling is the most well-behaved and sensible one!"

The Shuang Jue Patriarch waved his hand at Qiao Rui, then pointed at Huang Jingxuan and said to Qiao Rui, "This little bastard has stolen so much of my treasures in order to quickly increase his power so that he can get revenge sooner. He wanders around the mountains and plains all day long, destroying my elixirs. I have to treat him even though he got sick from eating them. What do you think of this?"

"Although I always punish him to suffer every time I rescue him, this guy never changes his ways. How can I, the ancestor, tolerate him!" The Shuangjue ancestor was so angry that his gray beard twitched up and down, and he spoke with a humming sound.

Huang Jingyu thought of his younger brother's mischief, how he sometimes got a choke from eating, got poisoned, and caused chaos in the valley. He couldn't help but burst into laughter, wiped his tears, and looked at the Shuangjue ancestor pitifully.

The Shuang Jue Patriarch looked at his beloved disciple's well-behaved and pitiful eyes, sighed, and rarely became serious. He said to Qiao Rui with a serious expression,

"Even so, he is only second-rate now, his internal energy is mixed and impure, and his foundation is very unstable. I will not teach him martial arts, so if he stays here, he will be useless."

"I think you are a kind and righteous person, and your martial arts skills are also OK. You can accept him as your disciple, bring him by your side and teach him carefully. It is a good way for him to grow up. In the future, one of them will practice martial arts while the other one will practice medicine. They can support each other and live a carefree life!"

"Master!" Huang Jingyu didn't expect his master to say such a thing. He threw himself into the arms of the Shuangjue Patriarch and burst into tears.

Although the master seemed to have a strange and eccentric personality, it turned out that he had already planned everything for his sister and brother. But when he thought about being separated from his brother, he was heartbroken.

"Okay, okay, stop rubbing your snot all over me!" Shuangjue Patriarch waited for Huang Jingyu to cry for a long time before pulling her away with a look of disgust on his face.

He said to Qiao Rui in a condescending manner, "Don't bother yourself, kid. Although this little bastard has a weak foundation, he has already entered the second-rate middle class at the age of fourteen. You can be considered to have picked up a treasure. What's more, you have my good disciple, the future miracle doctor, to back you up. Just be happy!"

Qiao Rui smiled and said he dared not, he would be happy to see it happen.

Under the arrangement of the Shuangjue ancestor, Huang Jingxuan became Qiao Rui's disciple.

However, Huang Jingyu did not change his words and still called Qiao Rui "Brother Qiao". According to her own words, this was to avoid wasting a generation. Qiao Rui let her do as she pleased, and they all talked about their own things. He himself still had to call the Shuangjue ancestor "old senior".

It was already late that day, so they planned to leave the valley the next day. Huang Jingyu dragged his brother to pack up. She seemed to have grown up instantly, nagging and admonishing her brother endlessly, just like a mother whose child was about to travel far away...
