Chapter 222: The Master of All Realms Is Really Worthy of His Reputation
Hearing the footsteps, Uncle Jiu walked out of the incense hall, smelling of incense. When he saw Yan Xu, he couldn't help but smile.

No one does not yearn for the big city, and Uncle Jiu is no exception. Not to mention that with the help of the Guandi Society, he not only has a foothold, but also has good business. Every day, there are teenagers wearing jackets with the words "Lu Lu Tong" printed on them coming to buy paper money, incense and candles on his behalf.

Uncle Jiu knew who brought all these people. As an outsider, how could he integrate into the local community so smoothly without the help of powerful people?

But the upright Uncle Jiu couldn't hate him, because only after coming here did he know what Yan Xu had done for the Demon City.

Although rivers of blood were flowing, tens of thousands of people benefited from it, and even the areas around the Magic City were affected. Not only did people no longer engage in sexual dismemberment, but even human trafficking became very rare. It can be said that Yan Xu could be said to have done immeasurable merits because of this incident.

Therefore, Uncle Jiu’s affection and admiration for Yan Xu is not only because he saved Simu and Qianhe.

Uncle Jiu was very happy about Yan Xu's arrival, but he didn't expect that this time it would bring him a problem.

Facing the Lightning Thunder Fist technique placed in front of him, Uncle Jiu smiled bitterly, but after hesitating for a moment, he still picked up the technique and explained its contents to Yan Xu.

Maoshan's inheritance has strict regulations. For example, Uncle Jiu is good at talismans, Simu is good at divine fighting, and Qianhe is good at peak competitions, because their inheritances are different.

Strictly speaking, it is not allowed to spread it randomly. In addition to the fear that disciples will be distracted, there are also some other reasons that are difficult to state clearly.

For example, the Lightning Thunder Fist can only be taught by the eldest brother Shi Jian. Besides the fact that the eldest brother is the most suitable one, and also because the skill is not easily passed on, Uncle Jiu hesitated.

But for Yan Xu, Uncle Jiu still broke the rules.

First of all, Uncle Jiu is not a pedantic person. Secondly, after leaving Renjia Town, what he saw and heard along the way made him realize that the world will become more and more chaotic, and it needs a decisive person to punish the evil, and this person is Yan Xu, so the stronger he is, the better.

Uncle Jiu is indeed worthy of being the Holy Master of All Realms, and his reputation is well-deserved. After his careful explanation, Yan Xu actually understood the content that seemed like a heavenly book.

It's easy to understand that with two apprentices, one is clueless and the other has a bad temper, their teaching skills have been honed.

However, if Yan Xu really wants to understand the contents, it will take at least ten years, because he needs to fill in the missing foundation.

Since the Lightning Thunder Fist has such a great reputation, it is certainly not a low-level martial art. All aspects involved are extremely advanced. Just getting started is equivalent to calculus, and further on it is advanced mathematics and there is even content at the level of the top ten mathematical conjectures of the century.

So if you don’t know, you don’t know. This is not something you can master by studying hard.

Uncle Jiu's method is very simple. If you can't learn it, you can copy the formula. If you don't understand it, you can memorize it by rote. All he has to do is to teach Yan Xu to remember with his body, not his brain.

However, Uncle Jiu still suggested that Yan Xu read more, otherwise he would only be able to get started with this technique, but it would be impossible for him to truly master it. If he rushed too fast, he would even run the risk of going astray.

Yan Xu looked at the list of books that his uncle Jiu wrote for him. From the simple introductory books to the middle parts that lay the foundation, as well as the ones that require in-depth study and comprehension in the later stages, there were a hundred books as a basic and there was no upper limit. He felt like his head was about to explode.

The worst thing is that many books are interrelated, just like when you write a paper, you quote content from other papers, and other papers quote part of its content, making it like a spider web. If you just take out a part, it will be useless.

In fact, this is normal. For example, Uncle Jiu and his fellow apprentices started learning since childhood. It took them ten years just to lay the foundation, and another ten years to become proficient. They only left the mountain to become apprentices in their thirties. Otherwise, they would not be able to understand the Taoist Canon, let alone magic.

And even though Yan Xu read a lot of books under the influence of Yang Zhenze, he was actually just familiar with the books and had only a vague understanding of many of the contents. After all, reading is not as interesting as practicing martial arts, and the latter can actually feel the growth of strength.

However, the Lightning Thunder Fist combines martial arts with the technique, with the technique being the basis and martial arts being the supplement. If you don't understand the technique, you simply cannot practice it.

Seeing Yan Xu's headache, Uncle Jiu smiled. Compared with the two stupid apprentices, he finally felt like a normal apprentice, so he began to carefully explain the tricks to getting started. Uncle Jiu's teaching was indeed effective, so Yan Xu simply stayed at Uncle Jiu's place so that he could ask for advice at any time, but he still had to prepare in advance.

Although he did not explicitly say that he was his disciple, Yan Xu still treated them as a teacher and covered all daily expenses. For this reason, Wencai and Qiu Sheng were very lucky.

Yan Xu's every move now affects countless people, and his capital is even more powerful. With just one word, the things you need will be delivered on the same day.

At this moment, Wencai and Qiu Sheng were busy catching the chickens running around the yard. These were delivered by Lulutong. They were all hens and roosters that had been free-range for more than a year, so they ran very fast. If the two had not practiced before, it would not be so easy to catch all these chickens into the newly built chicken coop.

There were also a few shiny little black dogs, wagging their tails and joining in the fun.

However, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai did not feel it was hard work. Instead, they were very happy because these chickens were to be eaten and even if they just took a share of the profit, it would be a lot of profit.

In the past, if Uncle Jiu had heard the commotion in the yard, he would have rushed out in anger. But now, he looked at the table full of precious medicinal materials with a bit of bewilderment, his eyes a bit dazed.

Yan Xu's spending was very generous. There were thirty ginsengs on the table of medicinal herbs, ranging from ten to a hundred years old, not to mention the others. Their value was difficult to estimate.

Moreover, these medicinal herbs have been carefully prepared by masters and are enough to be used as tribute.

Uncle Jiu took a deep breath of the air filled with the aroma of medicine, and his spirit was suddenly shocked, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

Yan Xu said that he needed nourishment now, and it was too troublesome to go back and take medicine every day, so he had to trouble Uncle Jiu to help make it. In order to express his apology, everyone ate and drank together as a token of his thoughtfulness.

This made it difficult for Uncle Jiu to refuse. He didn't even have such treatment when he was in Maoshan. If he had, his current strength would at least increase by three levels.

However, given Uncle Jiu's state of mind, these were not enough to shake him. What really made him compromise were Wencai and Qiu Sheng.

Although the two of them are disciples of Maoshan, they cannot enjoy the treatment of true teachings, that is, Maoshan will not give them resources for cultivation, and they can only rely on Uncle Jiu's family background to support themselves.

It would be fine if he just needed to eat and drink on a daily basis, but the key resources for cultivation were a headache for him, and the two of them were in a critical period of cultivation. If they could get the nourishment of these medicinal herbs, they could at least save several years of hard work, and the foundation they would lay would be even more solid, so how could Uncle Jiu refuse?

Moreover, compared with these precious medicinal materials, what Uncle Jiu valued most were the several large boxes of books placed aside. These books contained Buddhist scriptures and Taoist scriptures. Judging from the styles and seals, most of them came from the imperial palace.

The books in the royal library are not necessarily the best, but they are definitely the most complete.

The legal advisor had already established connections with the eunuchs and maids in the palace. No matter what they wanted, as long as it was available in the palace, they could get it, so Yan Xu spent a large sum of money to reserve the palace's collection of books.

As for how to explain the problem of lost items, there is no need for any explanation at all, because everyone from top to bottom has already regarded this as a business.

When all eunuchs and palace maids, big and small, could get a share of the money, no one would say anything nonsense. If there were some who were really stubborn and wanted to show their loyalty, there would be no shortage of innocent souls in the palace.

Even if the emperor wanted to investigate, it would be useless, because no matter what the emperor wanted to do, he could not escape the eyes and ears of the eunuchs and palace maids around him. This was an airtight net that trapped the emperor firmly in the palace. Whatever he saw, heard, and knew was all designed not to let you know, and you would never know until you died. For example, eggs in the imperial kitchen were more expensive than the same volume of silver.

Not to mention that there is no problem that cannot be solved by a fire. In such a large palace, burning down one or two libraries is a very normal and reasonable thing.
