Chapter 3050 A Love of Teaching After Disliking Stupidity
"The price of meat in Chang'an has dropped; it's much cheaper than before!"

"The price of meat has dropped because half of it is fried tofu!"

"That's delicious too!"

By parading prisoners through the streets and feeding them tofu, the public's intuitive impression of tofu as 'rotten' was eliminated.

This ingredient is beginning to be accepted.

But the most direct reason for ultimately accepting it was poverty.

There were many wealthy people in Chang'an, but even more poor people.

Tofu, with its slightly meaty texture, eventually appeared on the menus of the poor, then entered street stalls, and finally became a common ingredient in Chang'an.

This process took two whole years, and the evolution of tofu in Chang'an corresponded to the imitation in other regions. This ingredient did indeed spread rapidly in various places.

As one of the earliest diners to eat tofu in Chang'an, Huo Qubing had no fear of tofu and was extremely fond of this food.

His body was tied behind Liu Xuan's back, and he was eating continuously while holding a large bowl.

Liu Xuan sat and ate with an upright posture, as if he was not affected by the person carrying him on his back at all, and occasionally a look of novelty flashed in his eyes.

"That guy surnamed Dong, that guy surnamed Lei is looking for you, I really can't fool him anymore!"

The group ate at a stall near the mansion. Before they had finished eating, Zhang Xuezhou saw Li Shaojun sneaking over.

Whether placed in the Yunyi Taoist Temple or in front of Lei Zun Zhe, Li Shaojun could be seen as a dignified and virtuous person.

But when he turns to private settings, Li Shaojun appears nonchalant and irresponsible.

By this time, he had transformed into a young man and found Zhang Xuezhou and others along the street, reporting his fruitless efforts.

“If you’re looking for me, then look for me,” Zhang Xuezhou said. “Just have him come over!”

“He doesn’t dare to come,” Li Shaojun said, shaking his head.

"He's too afraid to come?"

Zhang Xuezhou exclaimed in surprise.

Lei Zun Zhe had once stormed the Great Han Royal Palace, so Zhang Xuezhou felt that the other party was not so cowardly.

"His..."

Li Shaojun gestured, indicating that the older Lei Zunzhe was, the more afraid he became of death, fearing that he might perish in Chang'an.

"Alright, I'm going to Lao Shu Hutong to ask Lao Zheng for something after I finish breakfast. I'll meet him there!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded. At this moment, his magic power and demonic power had recovered to 40%, and his ability to resist risks had greatly increased. He was no longer afraid of Lei Zunzhe's anger and madness. However, Zhang Xuezhou did not expect that Lei Zunzhe did not even dare to come to the Imperial City.

He asked the shopkeeper for another bowl of meat, and then quickly dipped it in a sauce made of fermented soybeans and ate it continuously.

"Master, could you teach me your method of making a living?"

Zhang Xuezhou either didn't eat at all, or he would eat so much that he could stack ten bowls on the table, which Huo Qubing found extremely enviable.

If he could, he would like to learn Zhang Xuezhou's way of making a living.

"Sick child, learn something good!"

Wei Shao'er gestured and tapped himself several times, indicating to Huo Qubing that he should ask for something else, as long as it wasn't about eating, Zhang Xuezhou's skills were all quite good.

"I want to learn how to eat!"

"I can't control you anymore!"

"Mom, you never used to hit me!"

After Wei Shao'er became quick and agile, he was always faster at taking action than at talking. Huo Qubing was beaten five times in three days, and he felt that his life had become gloomy.

"Learn more skills from Dongfang Shuo, and you won't be afraid of getting beaten up in the future!"

Wei Shao'er practically shoved Huo Qubing's head right in front of Zhang Xuezhou.

Wei Shao'er was clearly well aware of the benefits of using five thousand and a half strings of cash to gain admission to the Imperial Academy.

Before yesterday, Wei Shao'er hadn't thought much of Zhang Xuezhou's abilities, but after Zhang Xuezhou casually played with her, Wei Shao'er's perception was almost completely reversed. Zhang Xuezhou, on the other hand, ignored the rambling mother and son, after all, even if he were willing to teach, Huo Qubing wouldn't be able to learn his skills.

If one's physical condition does not meet the requirements, no matter how talented Huo Qubing was, it would be impossible, not even to learn his skill of eating.

"I've taught you what I needed to teach you. Now that I've taught you, don't think about anything else. Practice first, then you can learn my livelihood skills," Zhang Xuezhou patted Huo Qubing's head and said, "Now, let's take you to get treatment and cure this levitation problem!"

"It's such a pity that I won't be able to fly kites anymore!"

Huo Qubing muttered something.

Li Shaojun didn't understand Huo Qubing's situation, while Liu Xuan opened his mouth as if to speak but then stopped.

"My lord, this young Huo's limbs are as light as clouds, and his body is exceptionally supple. Why treat it as an illness?" Liu Xuan finally couldn't help but ask.

"He can't walk properly and has to live a normal life. He either needs to be carried around all day or can only be tied up with a rope!"

Before Zhang Xuezhou could even speak, Wei Shao'er had already expressed his opinion.

"Excuse my bluntness, but this kind of body would be of great benefit to both cultivating cloud-riding and lightness techniques. If it is lost, it would be a very serious loss and would ruin the child's future!"

Liu Xuan originally didn't want to speak, but he couldn't stand seeing people do stupid things, especially destroying the good seeds he had cultivated.

He had no choice but to describe Huo Qubing's physical symptoms, and then indicated that as long as he practiced techniques such as "Thousand-Pound Drop" and "Ten-Thousand-Jun Weight" to adjust his body, he could restore it to normal.

This kind of wear resistance is easy to lose, but extremely difficult to produce.

Liu Xuan felt it would be a great pity if Huo Qubing's health was ruined by improper treatment.

"What do you mean by 'a thousand pounds weighing ten thousand kilograms'?"

Have you heard of this Taoist art?

"What level of magic is it?"

"Go check the imperial library!"

……

One by one, everyone spoke up, their expressions unchanged, but their discussion made Liu Xuan almost question his life.

"Gentlemen, don't you ride horses?" Liu Xuan asked. "The Thousand-Pound Drop technique is just the most basic horse training skill. You should have some training!"

"The most basic horse training techniques?"

Zhang Xuezhou exclaimed in surprise, Li Shaojun and Rong Tianding looked at each other in bewilderment, while Wei Shao'er tilted his head.

None of the people were normal riders, none of them had systematically studied horsemanship, and none of them had heard of the techniques Liu Xuan had described.

"Come, come, Liu Xuan, you know this technique, why don't you explain it to everyone?" Zhang Xuezhou invited.

"Then... then alright!"

Liu Xuan looked at the curious crowd and finally had no choice but to explain the technique.

He had come here to practice his skills and use the opportunity to improve and restore his cultivation, but he never expected that he would need to explain the techniques to everyone.

Just like when explaining the Four Directions Locking Technique, Liu Xuan's explanation of the technique did not conform to modern understanding, and there were also some parts that needed to be corrected.

However, Liu Xuan's techniques are still applicable to the present day.

"Wow, this technique is really amazing! My body is gradually becoming heavier, and I'm not floating like before!"

Liu Xuan explained the story verbally while gesturing with his hands, trying his best to make it easy for everyone to understand.

Of course, as he said, the Thousand-Pound Drop and the Ten-Thousand-Jun Weight are the most basic horse-taming techniques. The former belongs to the method of qi and blood, while the latter belongs to the method of magic. These two techniques are somewhat difficult, but as the crowd joined in and asked questions, they became much easier to understand.

Since there was no one to test their horsemanship skills, Huo Qubing, who was lying behind Liu Xuan, was the first to shout.

Before even taking Suoyang to counteract the effects, Huo Qubing's body had already lost some of its lightness, and his legs were beginning to touch the ground.

This startled Wei Shao'er. She felt that before everyone had even settled their thoughts on the technique, Huo Qubing had already haphazardly begun practicing the technique provided by Liu Xuan.

Given the opponent's chaotic approach to cultivation, it's no wonder Wei Qing hung Huo Qubing up and beat him.
