This Burning Wood Saber is no small deal.

Back when the Divine Land Continent hadn't split into north and south and the Great Xia Dynasty still existed, the Burning Wood Saber was one of the Buddhist Sect's best cultivation techniques.

At that time, there was a saying that the world's fastest blades were topped by the Burning Wood.

However, later on, when the Divine Land was engulfed in flames of war, various lords contended, and the Great Xia Dynasty fell. Many people from Xia, the Imperial Court, Jianghu sects, and martial world figures were forced to migrate south.

During this process, the Burning Wood Saber was lost.

The few masters who understood the Burning Wood Saber either died or were wounded. Even if by luck they survived to this day, they would likely be very old.

If it weren't for the fat old man, no one would know these things at all!

The fat old man pondered silently.

The master behind this young fellow knows the Tiger Subduing Fist and the cultivation techniques of the Burning Wood Saber, making it very likely that they were someone from the previous dynasty's military!

It's understandable for people from the previous dynasty to hide away secretly.

The fat old man already had a rough outline of this person in his mind but didn't care much.

He rose to fame very early.

Even in the previous dynasty, he was a renowned figure!

However, recently, several times he tried to show off, only to fail, leaving him somewhat frustrated.

Chen Tang saw the fat old man's gritted teeth look earlier and couldn't help but nod secretly. The Burning Wood Saber was indeed formidable; Mountain Guest did not deceive me.

"Why do you want to learn the saber?"

The fat old man changed the topic again, saying, "Actually, my understanding of Swordsmanship is somewhat deeper."

This question did stump Chen Tang.

In truth, whether he used a sword or a saber, it was all the same to him.

Using a sword can be dashing, using a saber can be impressive.

Perhaps it was due to his obsession with his past life; being a Blade Master wasn't too bad.

In his previous life, he had a deep impression of a Blade Master from a book.

No matter what that Blade Master was doing, he always held a saber in his hand.

A peculiar saber, with a jet-black sheath and handle.

This Blade Master wore all-black clothing and had a pair of jet-black eyes.

But the hand he held the saber with was pale.

Just look at that style.

Chen Tang had long thought that one day he too would dress up like that, roaming Jianghu and earning a striking name for himself.

At least it had to be stronger than Young Hero Tiger Subduing.

That name was too perfunctory.

Just then, Qingmu and Zhiwei came to the courtyard and said, "We're going shopping. Do you need anything?"

"You two can decide what to buy."

The fat old man waved his hand casually.

Qingmu glanced at Chen Tang and said, "You don't have any spare clothes. Let's make a couple of sets for you."

As she spoke, Qingmu came before Chen Tang and began to measure him with her fingers.

The two stood quite close.

Qingmu's fingers roamed over him, passing over his chest, abdomen, and thighs... it felt a bit itchy and tingling.

Chen Tang felt an indescribable feeling welling up inside.

"Thank you, Sister Mu."

Chen Tang swallowed.

Qingmu finished measuring, had a clear idea, tapped Chen Tang's forehead lightly, and laughed, "It's rare to hear a thank you from your mouth."

Prior to this, Chen Tang had always had some reservations and resistance towards the fat old man and Qingmu.

But now he let down his guard.

Even in his previous life, no one ever cared for him like this or thought of buying clothes for him.

"Any preference for color?"

Qingmu asked.

Chen Tang said, "I want black, the kind where everything is black."

Qingmu raised her eyebrows and asked, "What do you plan to do, go out and misbehave at night?"

Of course, that's part of the reason; it would be convenient for night activities.

But it's not something to admit openly.

Chen Tang said, "It's a Jianghu outfit. In the future, when I walk down the street, people will see that man's clothes are jet-black, his saber handle is jet-black, his sheath is jet-black, but his complexion is pale... just think, how stylish that would be."

Zhiwei covered her mouth to stifle a laugh, revealing a pair of crescent-like smiling eyes.

Qingmu laughed and said, "Vain, aren't you?"

She donned a bamboo hat, covered her face with a veil, and led Zhiwei away.

Whenever leaving this small courtyard, Qingmu would wear a bamboo hat and veil to cover her face to avoid trouble.

The fat old man thought for a while and suddenly said, "I see your Tiger Subduing Fist has reached the Divine Realm, and you have the Burning Wood Technique for Sword Skill, but your body technique is slightly lacking."

"Senior's insight is as sharp as a torch!"

Chen Tang's eyes lit up, and he immediately changed his address, giving praise.

Ha!

The fat old man curled his lips.

Chen Tang asked, "Does Senior know that kind of Lightweight Skill for running on roofs and vaulting over walls?"

Since coming to this world, besides Inner Strength, what he most wanted to cultivate was the legendary Lightweight Skill!

Moreover, Chen Tang had long noticed.

Despite the fat old man's bulky figure and short stature, his body technique was surprisingly fast.

The fat old man said, "The kind of Lightweight Skill that lets you run on roofs and vault over walls requires the support of Inner Family True Qi. Your current realm isn't sufficient yet to practice it."

"However, I can teach you a Light Body Technique, the Gecko Wall-Climbing Technique!"

Gecko Wall-Climbing Technique?

Chen Tang's eyebrows drooped a bit.

This Lightweight Skill didn't seem that formidable.

The fat old man seemed to read Chen Tang's mind and sneered, "Don't underestimate this Lightweight Skill. Before reaching the Fifth Grade, the Gecko Wall-Climbing Technique will be more than enough for you. If you master this Lightweight Skill, you will not only be able to climb surrounding high walls and deep courtyards but even three or five zhang high city walls!"

"Moreover, this Lightweight Skill is perfectly suited for you. Your Tiger Subduing Fist is vigorous but lacks agility. The Gecko Wall-Climbing Technique is a soft jujutsu, which can precisely make up for the missing parts in your cultivation technique."

"If you become proficient in this Lightweight Skill, it will greatly benefit your cultivation and help you reach the Ninth Grade Extreme Realm faster!"

After hearing the fat old man's confident words, Chen Tang finally put away his disdain and said seriously, "I hope you will teach me, Senior."

"Hmm."

The fat old man went to the bottom of the nearby wall and said, "First, before performing the body technique, you need to adjust your breathing, relax your body, and calm your mind. These are the three main principles of the Gecko Wall-Climbing Technique: adjust body, adjust breath, adjust mind."

The fat old man explained the breathing technique and some application methods of this Lightweight Skill to Chen Tang once.

Then, the fat old man attached himself to the mud wall like a fat gecko and suddenly began to maneuver along the wall.

However, the mud wall wasn't high.

The fat old man didn't maneuver too long before reaching the top of the wall.

Spectators saw him twist his body and stick horizontally on the mud wall, as if hung there, defying gravity entirely!

"Your home's mud wall is too short; I can't fully display it."

Hung on the mud wall, the fat old man could still speak, "Don't mention these uneven wall surfaces; even those smooth as mirrors without footholds, once you've cultivated it well, you can maneuver up those too!"

"Learn this Gecko Wall-Climbing Technique, and even the Imperial Palace Inner Courtyard can't stop you!"

Chen Tang listened, eyes widening in disbelief as he asked, "If I learn this Lightweight Skill, I can even enter the Imperial Palace?"

"You're imagining things."

The fat old man said, "It's just that the walls of the Imperial Palace Inner Courtyard can't stop you. The people inside the palace, any one of them stepping forward, could squish you easily."

After a brief pause, the fat old man shook his head, feeling a bit pleased, "If you want to sneak into the Imperial Palace without being discovered, you'll need to continue cultivating with me."
