"Tell me everything you know about the Tang Sect's hidden weapons, as well as some hidden weapon cultivation techniques and light body techniques," Su Que continued.

Su Que also wanted to cultivate hidden weapons, adding more long-range attack methods.

Zhang Bengen then explained everything he knew, one by one.

The hidden weapon forging methods and techniques he knew all came from the Tang Sect's book "Hundred Explanations of Hidden Weapons."

The lightweight skill he knew was called "Ghost Concealment Smoke Step."

Because his rank in the outer sect was not high, he could only read a small part of these books.

Su Que quickly searched Zhang Bengen's body, and soon found two silver notes, several bags of hidden weapons, and several drawings of hidden weapon parts.

As for the "Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons," "Hundred Explanations of Hidden Weapons," and "Ghost Concealment Smoke Step," he did not find them.

He glanced at Zhang Bengen, who was staring at him in terror from the ground, considering that Zhang Bengen hadn't practiced what he mentioned, and uncertain if Zhang Bengen had lied.

So, he painstakingly infused four types of True Qi into Zhang Bengen's body, tormenting him while making him repeat what he had said.

After repeating several times, Su Que confirmed that Zhang Bengen hadn't deceived him, and then he struck Zhang Bengen's skull, ending his life.

Then, Su Que grabbed the bodies of Ou Tianhao and Zhang Bengen, ran twenty miles away to a forest, and buried them.

Afterward, he returned to the cave on Cyan Flower Mountain.

Feeling a movement in his heart, he withdrew all the Qi Blood under his muscles.

Instantly, his whole body shrank, and his clothes loosened.

Although he was originally tall and strong, shrinking suddenly from a stone tower-like figure, he seemed to become a dwarf.

After shrinking, Su Que took off his cloak and clothes, removed his mask, put on the loose scholar's robe again, and tied his long hair.

Now the night was deep, and he had to go home.

...

The next day, Su Que went to the school as usual, enlightening the children as if nothing had happened.

Until the afternoon after class, after eating, he went to the cave on Cyan Flower Mountain to begin cultivating the Celestial Deformed Foot.

He sat cross-legged in the depths of the cave, starting with the Inner Power Heart Method of the Celestial Deformed Foot.

The techniques of Celestial Deformed Foot, as well as the lightweight skill, were all based on inner strength.

The inner cultivation of Celestial Deformed Foot had a very different Qi circulation method compared to most inner strengths.

The Qi circulation method of Celestial Deformed Foot practiced against the meridians.

Generally, inner strength Qi circulation follows the meridians.

Qi circulation that follows the meridians is also known as "Meridian Circulation."

It means running Qi from the first acupoint at the start of the meridian to the last acupoint at the end of the meridian.

Qi running along the meridians is often smooth and easy.

Whereas Qi running against the meridians means forcing Qi from the end of the meridian to the start.

During circulation, there is often some obstruction.

Previously, the Evil Techniques like "Red Fiend Technique" and "Profound Yin Finger" that Su Que cultivated, although sinister, followed the meridians for Qi circulation.

It was the first time Su Que saw a cultivation technique that goes against the meridians.

He forced Ou Tianhao to tell him that when cultivating Celestial Deformed Foot, he needed to control his cultivation speed.

The faster the cultivation speed, the more likely he is to fall into Qigong deviation, losing rationality, and going mad.

However, Celestial Deformed Foot was an extremely peculiar martial art.

If the cultivator desired, the cultivation speed of Celestial Deformed Foot could be extremely fast.

But if the cultivator really did not control the cultivation speed, he would very quickly fall into Qigong deviation.

'Is Celestial Deformed Foot really fast to cultivate?'

'Then let me see how fast it is!'

Su Que immediately followed the cultivation method Ou Tianhao mentioned, focusing his mind on imagining a True Qi running against the meridians designated by Celestial Deformed Foot.

Soon, a strand of True Qi was produced in his meridians, then under his will, ran against his meridians.

Celestial Deformed Foot (1st Realm Initial Insight 1%)

Due to the high enlightenment brought by his Talent Value, he quickly entered the gateway to Celestial Deformed Foot.

Su Que continued to focus his intention on moving the strand of Celestial Deformed True Qi, forcibly running against the meridians designated by Celestial Deformed Foot.

At first, he felt obstruction while circulating Qi against the meridians, but gradually, he found it smoother.

At the same time, he felt his consciousness becoming clearer and clearer.

It seemed that the side effect of Celestial Deformed Foot, "Qigong deviation, losing rationality, and going mad," had reversed in him.

Because his consciousness was clearer, his focus was easier to maintain, enhancing his control over the Celestial Deformed True Qi.

Thus, his cultivation speed would accordingly increase.

Once the cultivation speed accelerated, the side effects of "Qigong deviation" would become greater, further accelerating the cultivation speed!

So, this formed a positive feedback loop!

The Celestial Deformed True Qi in his body swiftly circulated against the meridians, layer by layer.

Each time it circulated a layer, the Celestial Deformed True Qi strengthened.

After five days.

Su Que sat cross-legged in the cave of Cyan Flower Mountain, focusing on transporting the Celestial Deformed True Qi, now like a river rushing through his meridians.

Celestial Deformed Foot (5th Realm Refining Skill 20%)

The cultivation method of Celestial Deformed Foot Ou Tianhao knew could only be refined to 4th Realm Elite.

But Su Que, relying on the high enlightenment from his Talent Value, pushed it to 5th Realm and continued cultivating.

He learned from Ou Tianhao that Ou Tianhao had been cultivating Celestial Deformed Foot for nearly twenty years.

And given his realm among his attributes, Ou Tianhao's Celestial Deformed Foot only reached the 3rd Realm Ascension level.

Yet, even so, Ou Tianhao was considered a genius in the Ou Family branch or in Jiannan Prefecture.

But he, having cultivated for just five days, already surpassed Ou Tianhao by 2 realms.

'I achieved in five days what he did in twenty years; it seems I, Su Que, am the true genius!'

Su Que humorously thought to himself.

Although cultivating Celestial Deformed Foot could not increase his lifespan or Talent Value,

it significantly boosted his running speed.

If he cultivated the lightweight skill of Celestial Deformed Foot, and encountered a Tang Sect Assassin like Zhang Bengen, he could quickly close in and kill them!

Additionally, Celestial Deformed Foot inherently possessed greater destructive power than Seven Injuries Fist.

Once he cultivated Celestial Deformed Foot to the 5th Realm Refining Skill level, its power wouldn't be inferior to his 7th Realm Divine Transformation Seven Injuries Fist.

This way, he would have another means to confront enemies in the future.

Moreover, unlike the fear of Qigong deviation during cultivation,

the Qigong deviation even accelerated his cultivation speed.

He reached the 5th Realm Refining Skill in just five short days.

"Celestial Deformed Foot may not increase longevity, but it's a great martial art for survival!"

"I should contemplate how to obtain more cultivation methods for Celestial Deformed Foot in the future."

Su Que pondered.

"Ou Tianhao was the genius of the Jiannan branch of the Ou Family."

"Logically, his elders should have transmitted all of Celestial Deformed Foot to him."

"To acquire more powerful techniques, one must turn to the branch of the Ou Family closer to the Central Plains..."
