Chapter 40
The Finger of Murder and the Finger of Rescue

Bai Zhan Tang spoke with a grave expression, even tinged with fear.

Lu Yu understood; he was truly afraid of the Sunflower Sect.

After all, the Sunflower Sect was his childhood nightmare. It was only natural that he would be afraid.

“In that case, do you still want to learn?”

Bai Zhan Tang asked.

“Learn! Of course, I want to learn! And after hearing what you said, I feel like I have to learn it.”

Lu Yu laughed.

“Why?”

Bai Zhan Tang asked in confusion.

He had originally intended to dissuade Lu Yu, but instead, Lu Yu was even more enthusiastic.

“Big Brother Bai, if one day the Sunflower Sect really sends people to hunt you down, do you think I would stand by and watch?”

Lu Yu looked into Bai Zhan Tang’s eyes as he spoke.

“Little Lu, you mean…”

Bai Zhan Tang thought of something, his heart filled with emotion.

“Yes, I won’t stand idly by, I will definitely lend you a hand. At that time, the stronger we are, the greater our chances of winning.

Knowing ourselves and our enemy, we can also gain more advantages.

So I must learn, and my reasons for learning have become even stronger.”

Lu Yu’s words were sincere; he wasn’t trying to deceive Bai Zhan Tang.

Although he knew that the Sunflower Sect might be disbanded soon, and Bai Zhan Tang wouldn’t be in any danger.

But these words came from his heart.

He truly treated Bai Zhan Tang as a friend.

The two years of friendship, the favor of the Jade of the Stealing Saint, and Bai Zhan Tang’s character, all added together, made Lu Yu’s sincere treatment worthy.

“Little Lu, you’re a real friend!”

Bai Zhan Tang patted Lu Yu on the shoulder with emotion. He was a veteran of the martial arts world, so he could naturally see Lu Yu’s sincerity.

It was precisely because he could see it that he was moved.

Although the martial arts world emphasized righteousness above all else, there were very few who could truly do so.

Even Bai Zhan Tang himself couldn’t.

Although the incident with Ji Wu Ming back then was a combination of multiple unavoidable accidents, it was also considered that he had personally betrayed his brother.

He always carried this matter in his heart, and he would often condemn himself in his dreams.

But in the end, he also understood that he and Ji Wu Ming were on different paths, they would eventually part ways.

That accident merely accelerated the process, pushing the development of things to an extreme.

“So Big Brother Bai, can you teach me this Sunflower Acupressure Hand?”

Lu Yu laughed.

“Haha, you’ve said so much, how could I not teach you? Teach! I’ll teach you now!”

Bai Zhan Tang was in a good mood, and he didn’t intend to keep anything back.

Immediately, he told Lu Yu the method of cultivating the Sunflower Acupressure Hand.

“The threshold for cultivating the Sunflower Acupressure Hand is not high, but it’s extremely difficult to cultivate it to the highest level.

As far as I know, there is only one person in the martial arts world who has cultivated it to the highest level. That person is called the Immoral Daoist.

But this person has disappeared for more than thirty years. If he’s still alive, he must be over a hundred years old.

Legend has it that this martial art was created by him.

Apart from him, there are two other people in the martial arts world who have practiced this martial art to a very high level.

One is the master of the Stealing Saint Ji Wu Ming, Gongsun Wu Long. This person is unpredictable, he kills without a trace, and he is a villain even the Six Sects are afraid of.

The other is my mother, Bai Cui Ping. She is known in the martial arts world as the Desperate Third Lady, so she is also called Bai San Niang.

They have all cultivated the Sunflower Acupressure Hand to the level of Acupressure from Afar. Their finger strength is incredible, even if the enemy is wearing armor, they can still hit their acupoints.”

Lu Yu nodded slightly upon hearing this.

This is consistent with what he knows.

“The Sunflower Acupressure Hand is an extremely perfect martial art, with a complete set of advanced cultivation methods.

The most basic Sunflower Acupressure Hand is a Xuan-rank Upper-grade martial art. It is not difficult to enter, as long as you cultivate finger strength and identify the acupoints, you can enter.

When the Sunflower Acupressure Hand is cultivated to perfection, you can cultivate the Di-rank Lower-grade Sunflower Thousand-Crack Hand!

This technique specializes in speed, which can increase the speed of the Sunflower Acupressure Hand tenfold, reaching the so-called level of swift as the wind.

And when the Sunflower Thousand-Crack Hand is perfected, you can cultivate the Di-rank Mid-grade Cave Heaven One Finger!

Cave Heaven One Finger specializes in finger strength, which can increase the power tenfold or more, reaching the level of fast as lightning.

Finally, when Cave Heaven One Finger is also perfected, you can cultivate the Di-rank Upper-grade Acupressure from Afar!

This technique is to cultivate speed and finger strength to the extreme, and then condense the invisible finger strength to achieve the level of Acupressure from Afar.

This level of Sunflower Acupressure Hand is comparable to the Dali Duan clan's One Yang Finger.

Because this technique is too easy to use, those who practice it have come up with a lazy method, which is to use objects like stones to replace the invisible finger strength to perform Acupressure from Afar, which is also very powerful.”

After listening to Bai Zhan Tang’s introduction, Lu Yu was quite surprised.

He didn’t expect that the Sunflower Acupressure Hand would have so many tricks.

It actually has all the cultivation methods from Xuan-rank Upper-grade to Di-rank Upper-grade, it’s too perfect.

It’s worthy of being the foundation of a major sect.

Once you cultivate this martial art, you basically don’t have to worry about the future path of advancement.

From easy to difficult, it's really considerate.

If your talent is enough, you can cultivate to the Grandmaster level without any problems.

“How is it? Is this martial art amazing?”

Bai Zhan Tang saw that Lu Yu was stunned, and couldn’t help but laugh.

“Amazing! I didn’t expect that this Sunflower Acupressure Hand would be so complete.”

Lu Yu exclaimed.

“Yeah, you can tell from this how terrifying the Sunflower Sect is.”

Bai Zhan Tang shook his head and said.

“Big Brother Bai, how far have you cultivated?”

Lu Yu asked curiously.

“Me? Two years ago, I had already started cultivating Cave Heaven One Finger, and I had entered it. But I was about to retire from the martial arts world at that time, and I thought that I wouldn’t need martial arts in the future, so I didn’t continue cultivating.

Now it seems that I was naive back then.

From today onwards, I will also have to put this cultivation on my schedule.”

When Bai Zhan Tang said this, he suddenly thought of something, looked at Lu Yu, and continued, “There is one more thing about the Sunflower Acupressure Hand.

This finger technique is also divided into killing fingers and saving fingers.

Do you only want to learn the killing finger, or do you want to learn the saving finger as well?”

“If possible, of course, I want to learn both.”

Lu Yu said.

Adults naturally want everything.

“Most people, when they cultivate the Sunflower Acupressure Hand, will choose one or the other, not both.

After all, not everyone wants to save people, most people just want to kill.

At most, they just learn the basic acupressure to stop bleeding, in case of an emergency, and fewer people delve deeper.

Because that requires spending a lot of time learning the Art of Medicine, you also need to recognize all the acupoints and know their functions, so you can learn this saving finger technique.

I have limited talent, and I only learned the basic saving finger, I can only stop bleeding and pain.

If you want to learn both, you're afraid it will take a lot of time.”

“It’s fine, if I can learn, I’ll learn. If I can’t, then I’ll say so. You can’t have too many skills, right?”

Lu Yu laughed.

“You’re right. And with your talent, maybe you can really learn the entire Sunflower Acupressure Hand.

Okay, tonight I will first teach you the method of condensing finger strength, and then tomorrow I will copy the secret manual that my mother left me for you, and you can practice it yourself.

After all, there are many things on it that I haven’t learned either.”

“Good.”
