AST 1986 - The mysterious Yin-Yang Finger

Qing Shui also wasn’t sure how he ended taking this disciple . Back then when the Thirteenth Prince became his disciple, Xia Clan’s Patriarch gave him the Immortal Dao Divine Origin as a gift for doing so . But unlike last time, this time, he got nothing in return . Instead, the only thing which he got was trouble for himself . Nevertheless, he didn’t regret it even one bit since he was doing it out of his own will .

“Thank you, master!”

After going through the master-disciple-ceremony which included pouring the tea and kowtowing to Qing Shui, Qing Ci was officially under Qing Shui’s wings . However, Qing Shui didn’t announce it to the public . There was no need for him to publicize things like these . He supported Qing Ci up and looked at the woman with a miserable life . He then took out a few small bottles and gave it to her, “Let me bring you to a place to help you stabilize your strength . ”

He immediately passed the Imperial Cuisine Hall to Lang Ya before taking Qing Ci to the backyard . Impurities Cleansing, Constitution Nurturing, Gold Needle Acupuncture . Qing Shui did all of that . When the Divine Tribulation finally arrived, it meant that Qing Ci had broken through her current peak False God Realm and achieved the Divine Grade . Prior to this, Qing Ci was already walking back and forth in between the two grades for a long time . With the aids that Qing Shui provided today, it would have been weird if she didn’t break through .

It didn’t just stop at that . She broke through right away to the peak First Level Divine Grade and was still ongoing . After that, the lightning from her Divine Tribulation went from being the first level into the Second Level Divine Tribulation .

It only came to a stop when she reached the peak Second Level Divine Grade . At the same time, Qing Ci also managed to greatly stabilize her strength . Upon taking in the Divine Tribulation, her strength was now even more powerful and stable .

Qing Ci revealed a happy smile on her face . By now, she had finally understood Qing Shui’s ability . Deep down, she was also aware that this was only the tip of the iceberg from his strength . She didn’t know if she was the one in luck, to be able to encounter a man like him . Now that he became her master, it was as if she was given another chance to start a new life .

Qing Shui took out a set of things which he forged himself . The Magic weapons which he refined now was only suitable for warriors below the Martial Emperor Level . However, the things which he forged, had become very powerful . As of now, the items, which remained within Qing Shui’s realm, were all on False God or Semi-Divine Artifact Level .

Plain Garment Silver Threads, Windcloud Boots and also the Skysilk Silver Thread Boxing Gloves .

With these things aiding her, Qing Ci’s strength increased significantly . The Plain Garment Silver Thread boosted her strength and defensive prowess . The Windcloud Boots helped to raise her speed . Last but not least, the boxing gloves also boosted her offensive prowess, it even amplified her ability to ignore the opponent’s defense and poison immunity . At the same time, the accessories were also as thin as cicada’s wings to prevent causing any hindrances to her movements .

“Qing Ci, attack me with your Yin-Yang Finger and Upside Down Yin-Yang Step . ” Qing Shui smiled and said .

“Yes, master!” Qing Ci knew that Qing Shui wanted to see her proficiency in martial arts . If he felt that it was necessary, it was likely that he would pass his own martial arts knowledge to her .

Initially, she was supposed to be very confident with her own ability . But now, she was a bit nervous . Nevertheless, she still decided to go through with it . He was her master, it didn’t matter whether or not her Yin-Yang Finger was acceptable to him . Worst come to worst, she could just refine her martial arts once again with this master of hers .

Qing Ci moved . Maybe because she just broke through, she seemed to be a bit unfamiliar with her body . But she very quickly managed to adapt to it . Her figure looked very unusual . It seemed as if there were a lot of alternate directions which she could go for . By a rough number, there should be about seven directions which she could take . From here, it could be said that it was very similar to the Seven Stars Step .

Qing Ci attacked Qing Shui . Both of her arms were like agile Spiritual Snakes . Their movements were very messy . At the moment when she struck Qing Shui, her attacks would be unleashed through the joints of her fingers . Naturally, Qing Shui wasn’t scared of her attacks . After dodging it a few times, he let Qing Ci struck him with her fingers .

Hmph!

Qing Shui was stunned when the Yin-yang Finger landed on him . It was a very unusual finger technique, wherever she hit, the spot would start heating up . At times, the spot which she struck would feel cold instead . “Ah, so this was how it was . ” thought Qing Shui . Her right hand represented Yin, whereas her left hand represented Yang . Yin and Yang in each of her hands . It was as if she could turn the entire world upside down .

The footwork which she used was the Upside Down Yin-Yang Steps!

It was a highly unusual and complex footwork . If one practiced it well, a lot of energy could be drawn from it . Furthermore, the Yin-yang combat style somehow shared some similarities with hitting acupoints and meridians . Qing Shui was feeling it, feeling the Yin-yang force which entered his body . It was very mysterious and it seemed to be capable of messing up the Yin-yang energy within one’s body .

Nevertheless, the gap in strength between Qing Shui and Qing Ci was too large . Hence, the energy was unable to hurt him . If their strength had been close to one another, the outcome would have been very unpredictable . By then, this force would be very fearsome, and whether or not he could block it would be a mystery .

Qing Shui had the Heavenly Vision Technique . Hence, in a way, he could very easily detect the mysterious features of Yin-yang Finger and Yin-yang Steps . At least for now, Qing Shui could go to the extent of imitating it . The main thing was that he was now able to unleash its power, which was one of the hardest things to grasp .

After a while, Qing Shui gestured Qing Ci to stop . He nodded and said, “In the future, it will be better if you continue cultivating your Yin-Yang Finger and Upside Down Yin-yang Step . In addition, starting today, you will have to learn about things regarding certain acupoints and meridians, and also things related to the Qi and Blood . Once you have learned all of these, the strength of your Yin-yang Finger will be multiplied in folds . Not to mention, it is also something which is compulsory to learn in the medical fields . ”

“I will follow along every single of master’s arrangements!” Qing Ci said in joy .

……

On the next day, the Imperial Cuisine Hall began offering free treatments to the public for three days . Qing Shui was alone and Qing Ci would observe him from the side . While Qing Shui was treating the patients, he would also explain to her about the patient’s condition . After listening to Qing Shui’s explanation, she also didn’t forget to note it down . For the past few years, she had seen a lot of medical books . She just lacked a master that would give her enough support to use the knowledge .

Qing Shui used the simplest and also the most appropriate way to explain to her . Moving on, he began explaining to her about the diagnosis procedure, the ways to prescribe medicines, what each symptom represented and what medicinal herbs were required to counter it .

After a while, Qing Shui decided that he would teach Qing Ci the Meridians Knocking Souls Pulling . This way, she would be able to accurately determine the illness of the patients . Hence, he made sure that she remembered all type of illnesses and their corresponding prescriptions and medicines .

… . .

It was normal if some people want to take advantage out of something . Though this place was the Jade Business Street, there would also be a lot of ordinary people across it . Regardless of whether one came with the purpose of having fun or had some errands to run, when they saw a clinic with quite an imposing style doing treatments for free, it would still somehow attract their attention .

However, certain people with higher status would usually look down upon physicians . In fact, they already had their own physicians or alchemists who specifically attended to the illnesses within their own clan .

Qing Shui couldn’t care less about this . For now, he was only trying to build a name for himself . It was for free . Also, some poor people or people from ordinary backgrounds were given more privilege . The people with higher authorities or nobilities couldn’t care less about these it . In fact, Qing Shui was also quite reluctant to give it to them . But in the future, when they found out that Qing Shui once did his treatments for free, they would regret not coming for the past three days .

Qing Shui’s speed in diagnosing was very fast . Most of the time, he would list out the prescriptions and help them to look for the medicines . These medicines were just of decent values . Regarding the patients who were extremely poor, Qing Shui would get them their medicines from Lang Ci’s place for free .

Lang Ya attended to his duties and helped out . Meanwhile, he also felt like crying . ,

On the second day, the Imperial Cuisine Hall’s name had already begun to spread around the villages . It was all because Qing Shui demanded a very little fee for each of his treatments . He was also a good person and occasionally, would exempt the people from their treatment’s fee . Another feature of him was that no matter who he treated, he could basically cure them instantly . An important thing about the physicians was their status, which was slightly lower compared to the alchemists . When a physician tried to treat a disease, not only would it take very long for their treatment to take effect, but they would also become helpless whenever they were faced with serious injuries or illnesses .

The miraculous alchemists, on the other hand, were capable of refining different kinds of medicinal pills, to target against different kinds of situations . The pills also took effect very fast . Furthermore, some formidable alchemists might even be able to refine medicinal pills which helped to bring a person back to life .

Hence, usually, it would be very rare for people with high status or positions to look for physicians . Alchemists were the ones whom they would usually go for .

Qing Ci had a very powerful innate talent, even Qing Shui was a bit shocked by it . On the third day, Qing Shui sat next to Qing Ci and watched her as she diagnosed the patients and prescribed medicines for them . After that, Qing Shui would look through her prescriptions . This kind of practical experience could bring significant benefits to her and help her improve her skills at a very fast rate .

However, on the third day, just as the treatments were about to finish, a group of people came . There were about sixty of them and they were dressed in luxurious clothes . The person taking the lead was a man with a youthful look . He was standing on a spot not so far away, looking at Qing Shui .
