Seeing as fate had brought them together, Chen Ping'an wanted Zeng Ye to be able to truly benefit from this deal and find a path to reach the Middle Five Tiers and perhaps even greater heights.0

As the saying went, give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.0

This was how A'Liang had nurtured him in the past, and he was willing to treat Zeng Ye the same way because he cherished Zeng Ye as a pure and kind-hearted young boy who hadn't yet been contaminated by the cesspool that was Bamboo Scroll Lake.0

These two secret techniques from Wei Bo definitely weren't of a low caliber, as Chen Ping'an had proclaimed.0

As for whether Zeng Ye would truly be able to grasp the two secret techniques, that wasn't just a simple matter of whether he would be able to master them or not.0

How would he master them? How much effort and willpower would he have to give in the process? If he were to master them with ease, then would he be able to truly appreciate this massive opportunity that had fallen upon him? Over the course of his long cultivation journey, would he be able to look back and tell himself that everything he had achieved had been hard-fought fruits of his labors?0

Chen Ping'an didn't care what methods and philosophies other sects adopted in teaching their disciples, but when it came to his own disciples, he would only tolerate steady and solid progress, even if it proved to be a little slow. 2

However, Chen Ping'an quickly came to realize just how difficult the task before him was going to be.0

The problem was that Zeng Ye really was a complete idiot!2

In the past, Chen Ping'an had always felt like his aptitude had been very mediocre. Ning Yao was the one who had taught him to read the Mountain Shaking Guide. When it came to learning ability, Li Baoping was always able to easily comprehend by analogy, often grasping many corresponding concepts from just a single one. 0

When it came to cultivation, he had Lin Shouyi for comparison, while the one who had taught him martial arts had been Cui Chan's grandfather. From there, he had encountered the stunning prodigy, Cao Ci, on the Sword Qi Great Wall, who was the same age as him, yet had been able to easily defeat in three consecutive battles. 0

Finally, there was his first-ever disciple, Pei Qian, for whom cultivating the Eighteen Stops Technique was like nothing more than a game, and that wasn't even to mention the likes of Lu Tai, Liu Qings...0
