Chapter 465 (2): A Downtrodden Mountain Without Chen Pingan
Chen Ping'an was slightly hesitant, but Zhu Lian felt like this was a perfect plan, and he turned to Cen Yuanji with a smile as he said, "You've been dealt an immense blessing. The Mountain Shaking Fist harbors boundless fist intent. From this day forth, you will focus entirely on repeating the six-step walking meditation over and over again."
Zhu Lian then turned back to Chen Ping'an with a smile.
"It's not like you can't teach her the six-step walking meditation," Chen Ping'an said.
A shameful look appeared on Zhu Lian's face as he said, "While I'm capable of performing the six-step walking meditation, I can't do it anywhere near as gracefully as you, and I'm afraid that Cen Yuanji may be led astray by my terrible demonstration. When you perform the six-step walking meditation, it's truly a sight for sore eyes, a blissful experience for the fortunate beholder..."
Chen Ping'an couldn't bear Zhu Lian's flattery any longer, so he relayed Cui Cheng's instructions to him. After hearing what he had to say, Zhu Lian fell silent with a glum look on his face.
Chen Ping'an had to suppress an amused smile.
Shortly thereafter, Zhu Lian departed with Cen Yuanji, and on the way back, she noticed that he seemed to have been in a rather sour mood.
Back at the Cen Clan's residence, Zhu Lian had declared that he was a sixth tier martial artist on the cusp of reaching the Vajra Body Tier, and she had the potential to become a seventh tier martial artist in the future.
Could it be that the old man who constantly stayed in that bamboo building was a Vajra Body Tier master? Otherwise, what gave him the right to dictate terms to Zhu Lian?
Zhu Lian demonstrated the six-step walking meditation to Cen Yuanji in a serious manner, and after just three repetitions, she was already looking quite proficient.
Zhu Lian told her that she had to complete two hundred thousand repetitions of the six-step walking meditation before she could officially commence her martial arts training, and that she would demonstrate the six-step walking meditation to her thrice each day from here onward to ensure that she didn't stray down any incorrect paths.
