Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 230 - 121: Acquiring Another Divine Technique, Advan

Maybe they wouldn’t take his life out of respect for his father-in-law, but he couldn’t remain as carefree as he was now.

*For this reason, Chen Jie wholeheartedly supported him taking the two Bone Strengthening Pills.*

Peng Shizhong saw Zhou Chu and felt quite pleased. His appreciation for Zhou Chu’s character deepened as he turned to Peng Fu and said, "Ah Fu,"

"Master."

"Take Sixth Brother to the secret library and permit him to select... two secret manuals."

Peng Shizhong, still in the process of compensating Zhou Chu, said this. Zhou Chu imdiately cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, foster father."

"Jiu Si, I get to pick two manuals—haha! When you picked yours, wasn’t it only one? Foster father favors . You better not be harboring any petty jealousy!"

Chen Jie heard this. How could he not know Zhou Chu was rely joking with him? *Was this really a matter of one manual or two?*

*Having more secret manuals wasn’t always better. To be honest, the manuals in Peng Shizhong’s library really weren’t that remarkable. Most were suited for those below the Energy Transformation level, with only a few rare ones having reached Energy Transformation—and even then, those were incomplete.*

*They were enticing for soone below Energy Transformation, but for those already at Energy Transformation, they were practically useless.*

*Unless soone like Chen Jie could extract techniques that complented the "Spring Word Technique" from the Four Seasons Celestial Phenonon Technique amidst a pile of ordinary cultivation techniques.*

Still, Zhou Chu was ecstatic. He didn’t have any decent martial arts to speak of. At the Shunfeng Escort Agency, Elder Sun’s family heirlooms—the Mountain Chasing Whip and Cross Saber—weren’t taught to won or outsiders. As a re husband, Zhou Chu had no chance of obtaining them.

But now, he finally had the opportunity to learn proper martial arts.

Zhou Chu, still brimming with joy, followed Uncle Fu and departed.

*Today was a day of great harvest for him.*

At that mont, Peng Shizhong turned to Chen Jie and said, "Do you know why I’ve kept you here?"

Chen Jie replied, "I am unaware, but it must be an important matter you wish to discuss."

Peng Shizhong smiled and nodded as he said, "Jiu Si, do you know what my Jianghu greeting na is?"

"Jianghu greeting na? Isn’t it ’Thirteen Grand Protectors Fisherman’?"

Chen Jie asked. Peng Shizhong chuckled and said, "The rankings for the Thirteen Grand Protectors are mostly based on profession. ’Fisherman’ was my forr trade. But before I made a na for myself, I had another Jianghu na."

Chen Jie looked at Peng Shizhong. Peng Shizhong said, "’Stone Breaking Hand.’"

"Stone Breaking Hand?"

Chen Jie looked at Peng Shizhong. Peng Shizhong said, "That’s right—Stone Breaking Hand. This na was based on my own martial arts expertise!"

"Am I correct in presuming, foster father, that the martial arts you practiced were this Stone Breaking Hand?"

"Indeed. My master, the previous Fishing Guild Leader, had two legendary techniques—one internal and one external."

"An internal and an external?"

*Chen Jie muttered softly, and Peng Shizhong continued,* "Correct. An internal and an external. You already know that after Dark Force cos Energy Transformation, and the hallmark of Energy Transformation is the ability to flexibly manipulate inner strength."

"Inner strength can be cultivated in two ways—one internal and one external. The internal thod begins with Skin Refining Realm, focusing on inner strength cultivation first, supplented by external skill training. From the inside out, it eventually enters Energy Transformation."

*When Chen Jie heard this explanation, he thought to himself, Isn’t this how I’ve always practiced?*

*Chen Jie had trained in many martial arts techniques, whether it was Water Manipulation Palm or Wandering Soul from Thirteen Breaking Tribulation Strokes. These were all external skills. Yet, his foundation was the Yang Chun Skill, which continuously pushed external skills through cultivation. This was certainly considered preparing from the inside out.*

"And there’s also the thod of ’outside in,’ which involves cultivating inner strength through external skills. Once external mastery is achieved to Great Success, Energy Transformation can also be attained."

Chen Jie asked, "Is there any distinction in superiority between the two thods?"

"There is no such distinction. Whether inside-out or outside-in, there are world-renowned cultivation techniques for both."

Chen Jie said, "I’m familiar with techniques that cultivate from the inside out, but I’ve hardly heard of any thods that train from the outside in."

Raising an eyebrow, Chen Jie voiced his doubt. Peng Shizhong replied, "You’ve definitely heard!"

"Very renowned?"

"Extrely renowned—or rather, world-famous."

"Which martial art?"

He asked. Peng Shizhong slowly said, "Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms!"

*Hmm!!*

Chen Jie’s eyes widened. He hadn’t expected the globally renowned martial art to be Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms. This technique was the epito of leveraging external forms to cultivate inner strength. Back in the day, Hero Qiao and Guild Leader Hong—such legendary figures—reached the pinnacle of Jianghu, relying on this very palm technique!

No one had ever heard of them practicing any extraordinary inner strength cultivation techniques—none at all. Because the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms inherently contained inner strength cultivation; it was rely a thod of "outside-in."

The Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms were also recognized as the ultimate external technique—"The First Palm of Purely Masculine and Yang External Skills."

*Chen Jie comprehended this concept and gained a deeper understanding of martial arts. He realized there was so much nuance behind it all.*

*This was the benefit of having a foster father; he could directly impart such martial arts wisdom. Otherwise, he’d have had to figure it out himself, which might’ve taken years—who knows how long.*

Peng Shizhong proceeded to say, "My master—our old Guild Leader—had two famous secret manuals. Or rather, one manual split into two: Stone Breaking Hand. But later, he obtained another manual—Mystic Ice Power!"

"He never practiced Mystic Ice Power, though. Eventually, he bestowed the two manuals separately upon and Nan Batian."

"Originally, Nan Batian wanted to learn Stone Breaking Hand—I agreed. However, he ultimately chose Mystic Ice Power instead."

"Thus, Stone Breaking Hand was passed to . Using this technique, I earned the renowned title of ’Stone Breaking Hand’ and was even ranked among the Thirteen Grand Protectors."

*Chen Jie carefully listened to Peng Shizhong’s narration.*

Peng Shizhong then turned to Chen Jie and said, "Chen Jie, the survival of the entire White Tiger Hall now rests on you. Therefore, I’ve decided—to pass ’Stone Breaking Hand’ on to you."
