Chapter 458 Lo Yinning (1)

of Scholarly Writings. On the contrary, they highly value it. They wish for all people to be able to see various kinds of books, believing that talent is widespread among the common folk. They do not..."So weak, then why don't you change it You must be sick. These days, learn Moya Technique from me instead of wasting time," Ling said.

"I told you already that I can’t switch. There’s nothing I can do about it." Free-and-Easy shrugged his shoulders helplessly and then continued eating.

"There's nothing you can't change. Moya Technique can integrate all kinds of techniques, which is the characteristic of this technique. No matter what type of technique you had practiced before, you are still able to practice Moya Technique," Ling said coldly,

The wonder of Moya Technique was its ability to devour other techniques; it would absorb other martial arts and in battles, it could also devour opponents' inner strength. That was the characteristic of Lu Clan’s bloodline technique—Moya Technique. For instance, Black Tortoise Clan’s bloodline technique is defensive.

Because of this devouring ability, Moya Technique's power increased greatly; that was also why it was called a demonic technique. People would always be afraid to be devoured by such things and would call them demons.

At the same time, because of Moya Technique’s devouring ability, all previously practiced techniques could be converted into Moya Technique without any conflicts over inner strength. That was one great benefit of Moya Technique. However, in order to practice Moya Technique, you had to have Lu Clan's bloodline. Many people felt frustrated and envious about this.

But even so, Free-and-Easy still couldn’t cultivate it. Despite having the Lu family’s bloodline, he didn't cultivate Moya Technique. For many people, that was something to be despised.

"I can’t change my technique!" Free-and-Easy smiled and replied. He really didn't care about this matter too much.

“Impossible… Unless you're telling me you’ve practiced…” the third elder looked at Free-and-Easy, thinking of a possibility; only he thought it was highly unlikely since normally, very few people would practice that kind of technique.

"Shennong Technique" The third elder asked tentatively.

“Yeah.” Free-and-Easy nodded his head in affirmation.

"How did you go about practicing Shennong Technique This method is only helpful to others and does not have any offensive power," the third elder said helplessly. If it was Shennong Technique, then even if Free-and-Easy practiced it, he would still just be an auxiliary; fortunately, this kind of auxiliary was very strong.

"I went mad from practicing martial arts before and if I didn’t practice Shennong Technique, I would already be dead," Free-and-Easy replied casually. He had long since looked at the matter lightly and thought it was irrelevant anyway.

“So that’s how it is; of course life comes first. Shennong Technique may not allow one to become a powerful person but it can still enable someone to become an important person,” the third elder said. If he were dead, then whether or not he could practice Moya Technique wouldn’t matter anyway, and practitioners of Shennong Technique were also very favored—there were quite a few such people in Lu Clan, mostly doctors.

"How boring…" Ling suddenly said; it was unclear what she meant by this. Was she saying that Free-and-Easy’s practice of the Shennong Technique was boring and would leave her no chance to bully him later

“The Shennong Technique isn’t bad, we can ask for your help whenever we are injured,” Lu Lingyu said with a smile.

"Sure. As long as I'm here, regardless of how serious the injuries you sustain are, as long as you don't die, I'll be able to save you," Free-and-Easy replied with a smile.

But just how many people would believe his words At this moment, everyone only thought he was joking.

"Go on and go. What are you talking about so early in the morning" The third wife said unhappily.

“Haha…” Free-and-Easy chuckled. After finishing the last piece of fried dough stick and drinking some porridge, he got up to leave; he was going alone to claim his jade token. He had already asked about where one could obtain a jade pendant.

The third elder wanted to go with him too but because of Free-and-Easy's insistence, there was nothing he could do. Anyway, all Free-and-Easy could do now was to claim the jade token.

Very soon, Free-and-Easy had claimed his jade token and then went to look at some books in Lu Clan’s library for a while; he discovered that Lu Clan's book collection wasn't small either, not less than Black Tortoise Clan’s. But basically, he already read through most of them.

Those repetitions weren’t just those between Black Tortoise and Vermilion Bird Clans but also from the Demon Palace, where a part of its collections belonged to Lu Clan originally.

Although Free-and-Easy didn't practice Moya Technique, he flipped through it; he found that it was basically no different from Heaven Devil Technique. But it seemed like there were higher-level things in Moya Technique as well; however, such things could only be used at the god level and for most people, they were merely decorations with no use whatsoever.

Several days later, Free-and-Easy started to get more familiar with this place. He found an opportunity to go drinking with Ling Nine; she was quite happy about it because now there would be one more person who loved alcohol in the household.

In the brewery, he began brewing wine, but naturally, it wasn't possible for him to produce any right away since it needed fermentation. He occupied a big vat and this shouldn’t cause any problem since no one cared about it.

Afterward, Free-and-Easy didn’t need to go to the brewery anymore; just let it ferment. This made Ling Nine disappointed—turns out he only did that on impulse. She didn't know that Free-and-Easy had already prepared a vat of materials for fermentation.

If she knew, she would definitely be surprised that this fourth younger brother still brews wine. She just doesn't know what kind of stuff he will make...

In recent days, Xianyao seemed to be quite leisurely. The cultivators from the Luo family generally work hard in the Cultivation Hall, sparring and competing with each other while exchanging insights, and they usually report there unless they are in seclusion.

However, Xianyao practices the Divine Farmer’s Scripture, which no one can teach him. He also didn't plan to train together with others, as he could cultivate anytime and anywhere. Therefore, he appeared rather relaxed, wandering around everywhere and visiting every place in the Luo family.

He also casually asked about Lord Lu Yuntian and his wife's situation. From what he learned, it was somewhat strange; he noticed that Lord Lu Yuntian and his wife didn't seem to have a good relationship, as they weren’t as affectionate as one might expect.

This made Xianyao feel puzzled. He wanted to get closer to Lu Yuntian but found him hard to approach, often disappearing mysteriously, sometimes not being seen in the Luo residence for days and nights. He could be on a cliff or atop a tower.

Seems like it's always high places, does he want to jump down when troubled

This day, Xianyao encountered an unexpected person, neither Lord Lu Yuntian nor Yun Qingyi, but someone closely related to both of them!

When passing by a courtyard, he heard sobbing sounds. It seemed to be from a girl. In such a large family, bullied maidservants were common, and Xianyao didn't feel like consoling everyone. They could just cry if they wanted; after all, they weren’t being bullied right now. He would have walked past normally.

But for some reason, when he heard the sobbing, a voice in his heart urged him to go and see what was happening.

With that thought, Xianyao went over to find out who it was crying and why there was such an urging in his heart.

Beneath a rockery by the pond, he saw a girl of around fourteen or fifteen years old sitting on a stone beside the pond. She wore a white training outfit with some stains, seemingly from a fall.

The little girl had her hair tied in two buns like steamed buns on top of her head, though she looked very cute and fitting for her age, quite a loli appearance.

The little loli was wiping tears with both hands while sniffling; clearly, she had been crying for some time, judging by the tear marks around her eyes.

What puzzled Xianyao was that when he saw this little loli, he felt a sense of familiarity and fondness, something he never experienced before.

"Little sister, why are you crying here" Xianyao asked.

"Ah, I’m not crying! I'm strong!" The little loli jumped in fright when she heard him speak but then wiped her tears and pretended to be very tough; it was rather adorable.

"Alright, alright. You're right, you're strong. Tell your brother if there's anything troubling you, let’s see if I can help." Xianyao stroked the "buns" on top of the little loli's head and said with a smile.

Hmm Why is my brother suddenly so kind-hearted to care about others' troubles

"Brother, you can’t help me. Everyone says I’m stupid; there’s no hope for me." The little loli looked at Xianyao with tearful eyes that made people feel heartache.

She usually wouldn't talk to others, but seeing Xianyao felt very close and familiar, so she shared her troubles with him.

"Stupid What happened" Xianyao asked. Being stupid can mean many things; he needed to know the specifics before making a judgment.

"I can't master the Mo Yun Art; I'm still only at the Soldier rank, while Li Li has already reached the King rank. Even the weakest among them is much better than me. I've tried my best but just can't catch up with them. Brother, am I really that stupid" The little loli looked at Xianyao pleadingly.

"Can’t master it No problem. My brother can’t cultivate Mo Yun Art either. Maybe what you’re good at is something else." Xianyao said smilingly.

"Brother, that’s just saying I’m stupid and telling me to give up," the little loli pouted, thinking he wouldn't trick her since she was a kid.

"Haha, it depends on your talent. If you don’t have the talent for something, there's no need to force yourself; do what you love instead. You don’t necessarily have to practice martial arts all the time. If everyone did that in the world, we wouldn't have food or clothes and would have nowhere to live." Xianyao said with a smile, helping the little girl understand.

Fourteen years old now, still only at Soldier rank; under such circumstances, it’s clear she lacks talent. While perseverance could lead her to reach Emperor rank eventually, there was no need for so much hardship. Girls just needed to find a good home; cultivation isn’t that important.

"But I want to prove myself. I don't want people saying I'm stupid. I don't... " the little loli looked at Xianyao as if considering whether she should tell him her inner thoughts, and after some hesitation, she decided to share them. “Don’t want my father being laughed at because of me…”ere they talking to the wrong personFrom what they heard, a single one of these people could easily kill a Rank 1 martial artist like Xioayao hundreds or thousands of times, yet so many of them ended...
