Chapter 78: Well-versed in the Three Teachings! (Part 1)

Lu Shu curiously asked the auntie who was extremely joyful, "Auntie Liu, what’s happening between them?"

Auntie Liu pulled him away, "Don’t bother about them . They’re in a conflict now . "

"If you can’t do it, it means you can’t no matter what, so save your breath," as Lu Xiaoyu coldly said

"What a joke . This old man here knows everything in the world and I can even solve this math question of yours . The only thing is that I can’t express it in your XY method . When I was learning how to do calculations in the private school, you weren’t even born yet!" as Li Xianyi said with disdain .

"How old are you?" asked Lu Xiaoyu

"81!" as Li Xianyi proudly answered .

This news was rather surprising to Lu Shu . This gramps used to be so sickly previously but Lu Shu didn’t expect him to have maintained himself that well . From just his looks, he looked 50 or 60 at most .

However, Lu Xiaoyu had calmly replied, "I’m 10 this year . . . If you were learning how to do calculations before I was born, it means that you were learning it at 71? So you’ve retained grades for 60 years?"

"Who taught you how to count?!" as Li Xianyi face darkened . He just couldn’t speak sense to Lu Xiaoyu since she did not even bother about logical reasoning . There weren’t such things as middle school at that point in time . Perhaps there were schools in the big cities but at the small mountain village he lived in, they only had private schools . No matter how he had tried to explain it to her, Lu Xiaoyu would always choose to ignore this issue .

This brain of hers was out of this world!

"From Li Xianyi’s distress, +99!"

Lu Shu stared blankly at this income record as he was burning with questions about the matter . Was it because Lu Xiaoyu’s powers were given to her by him or was it because her powers were too similar to his celestial map? And thus, when Lu Xiaoyu was to cause resentment in someone, it would add on to his side as well?

With Lu Xiaoyu’s personality, wasn’t it as if he had specially invited a group of party members to help him?

But back to the point, what exactly was the connection between both of their powers that such a mysterious thing could happen .

Perhaps it wasn’t a coincidence that Lu Xiaoyu’s powers were given by the lottery system . If this system’s host required absorbing distress points in order to rise in grades, granting Lu Xiaoyu power was similar to recruiting someone to help boost his training progress .

But why was his own resentment towards Lu Xiaoyu not converted into his own distress points income… . . . it was a huge loss for him no matter how he looked at it!

Watching Li Xianyi and Lu Xiaoyu in a conflict was rather amusing since someone as old as Li Xianyi could be dragged along by Lu Xiaoyu .

Now that he thought of it, how many intelligent, broad-minded and highly skilled old people were there in this world? Lu Shu would often see two old men arguing over a game of chess and the people around them would always say, "Both of you are respected cadres, stop arguing already . "

One might not always become craftier as he grew older . Having a heart of child seemed rather interesting as well .

The image he had of gramps previously was rather blurred as his interactions with them were limited . As such, Lu Shu was cautious when Li Xianyi offered to teach him swordsmanship since he did not know him that well .

But after having a few words with him, Lu Shu had a whole new image of him right now .

Li Xianyi saw that Lu Shu had arrived and bitterly said, "I’ve babysitted this child already, now it’s your turn to learn some swordsmanship from me . "

"Sure," as Lu Shu smiled, "But in the future, I would still have to trouble you to supervise Lu Xiaoyu’s revision in the day . "

"From Lu Xiaoyu’s distress, +199!"

"From Li Xianyi’s distress, +199!"

Lu Shu was elated . Since Lu Xiaoyu could not train in the day, she definitely had to utilize her time properly! By placing both of them together, wouldn’t Li Xianyi act as a stable source of distress points for himself?

If Li Xianyi were to find out about Lu Shu’s thoughts and plans, perhaps he would cut him down in one slash!

Li Xianyi took a look at Lu Xiaoyu and took in a deep breath . After considering for half a minute, he said in a slightly deep tone, "Fine!"

Li Xianyi went back into the house as if he had just suddenly remembered he needed to retrieve something, he turned around and asked Lu Xiaoyu, "Do you wish to learn some swordsmanship as well?"

Both of these children had aptitude of Class A and above . Even though they both irked him, Li Xianyi was actually quite fond of this little girl deep down .

His series of skills was not one which was passed down through the generations as it was difficult to learn . With it being handed down to only a few people, there was only him left in this era who wielded these skills .

With two A class aptitude geniuses in front of him now who had rather decent personalities, wouldn’t it be great to take them under his wing?

Lu Xiaoyu glanced over at him and said, "No!"

Li Xianyi walked into the house with a black face .

"From Li Xianyi’s distress, +287!"

Lu Shu almost couldn’t stand it anymore upon seeing this income record . Alright, alright, all the best Xiaoyu . Other than his stinky tofus, this was his only other stable source of income!

Li Xianyi carried a few weird-looking objects out and all of them weren’t exactly huge in size but they were black in color entirely, making it difficult to tell what it was made of . Li Xianyi then said to Lu Shu, "From today onwards, you shall carry this load throughout your everyday life . It ranges from all kinds of weight with the lightest at 30 pounds and the heaviest at 300 pounds . You’ll start with the lightest first . "

Lu Shu was stunned . The first thing he had to do was to carry this thing around in his everyday life? Was this to train his own physique?

Be it his own celestial map or the training method taught by the Daoyuan class, both of them could better his own physique . So why did he have to carry these things around, wasn’t this training method a bit too traditional .

He thought for a while before saying, "The training method taught in the Daoyuan class could directly increase my strength . "

"A training method for an ability is different from one which train’s your body directly . The Daoyuan class training method is too superficial and it cannot reach the foundation of the abilities," as Li Xianyi continued, "I won’t teach you anything else in that aspect . "

"Didn’t you say that the Daoyuan class training method wasn’t great, so why won’t you teach me something else?" as Lu Shu did felt that the training method from the Daoyuan class was indeed inadequate . As for increasing his physical strength, the Yinyang Kinship of the Three could not compare up to his celestial map at all . Since he had not come into contact with any other training methods, he felt that the Daoyuan class’ method wasn’t great at all .

Li Xianyi shook his head, "About the Daoyuan class training method, all-rounded development has its own benefits . The man called Shi Xuejin was well versed in all the three teachings, and no one understood the training methods better than he did . Although your training methods belonged to Daoism, it also takes an approach from the Buddhism point of view . This method aims to use the teachings of Daoism to master the 7 Chakras and complete cycles . In reality, this method does not really specialize in any aspect but . . . . speed of completion!"

Oh, Lu Shu understood what Li Xianyi meant, but… … who was Shi Xuejin? So the purpose of Li Xianyi making him carry these loads was to make up for whatever was lacking in his training method for abilities through cross-training?

The loads which Li Xianyi took out ranged from light to heavy and these were the things he had used before in his own training . Hastily increasing the weights would not bring any sort of effects but instead, increased your chances of getting injured .

Just as Li Xianyi was about to explain to Lu Shu as to how he should gradually the loads, he witnessed Lu Shu taking the heaviest one from him with ease… . . .
