Dragon Ball: I, Yamcha, am the strongest in the universe

Chapter 81: Heavenly Master, Please Accept Yamucha’s Bow (Second Update, Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket!)

Yamcha said this very bluntly, getting straight to the point in a concise and clear manner.

Under normal circumstances, Zhang Lingyu is already the old Taoist priest's last disciple, so he would not accept any more disciples.

However.
The old Taoist priest looked at Yamcha seriously for a while and said.

"I think you have good abilities and your own system. There is no need for you to come to an old man like me to learn."

If outsiders heard the old Taoist's evaluation of Yamucha, they would definitely be shocked.

Being evaluated as not bad by the old Taoist priest is the highest praise.

As we all know, the highest combat power in the work "Under One Person" has only two levels, one is the old master, and the other is everyone under the old master.

They all exist one by one.

Just like Saitama in the One Punch Man world, he is at the ceiling level of the work.

"Old Heavenly Master, I want to receive more systematic learning from you."

Yamcha's tone and attitude were still very sincere.

As for the old Taoist priest, just play it straight with him, there is no need to go around in circles. Don't think that a veteran who has lived for decades can't see it, he is much more experienced than you.

Being honest is the best option.

The aliens in this world are more adept at scheming than those in any other world Yamcha has been to so far, especially the young people, all of whom are old silver coins.

The old Taoist nodded. He did not refuse immediately, nor did he rush to reply. He just looked at Yamcha quietly.

Yamcha, who was being watched, did not move.

I don’t know how much time passed before the old Taoist priest slowly spoke.

"I don't see that we have a destiny as a master and apprentice. I won't accept you as my apprentice, but if you want to learn, I can teach you. I just won't admit that you are my apprentice to the outside world, and you shouldn't call yourself my apprentice either."

"Fate" is a very strange word, and the so-called fate is even more illusory. It has no substance and cannot be figured out.

Under normal circumstances, the old master would not and could not meet Yamcha. They belong to two different worlds and two different dimensions. It is impossible for them to meet.
But now we meet.

Are they destined to be together now?
You can have it or not.

"My last disciple is Zhang Lingyu, the handsome young Taoist priest you just met. He is now and will be in the future."

"If that's the case, are you still willing?"

The old master's attitude was beyond Yamcha's expectations. He originally had plans B and C, but he didn't expect that he would agree.

But that's a good thing.
So he bowed down to the old Taoist priest without thinking.

"Master, please accept my disciple's greetings."

The old Taoist nodded and sat there to accept Yamucha's worship, but when Yamucha stood up, he slightly moved aside.

Although the old Taoist priest said that he would not accept him as a disciple, he agreed to teach him. In essence, he was no different from a master, but he still had to observe the proper etiquette.

Although Yamucha has had many teachers, and although the old master said that he would not accept him as a disciple, he would not neglect etiquette just because there were too many teachers. In Yamucha's eyes, the old master was his master, and respecting teachers was a traditional virtue.

"Since you are studying here, you can stay in Tianshi Mansion temporarily. I will arrange a room for you."

"correct."

When the old Taoist priest said this, he seemed to have thought of something. His expression became a little strange, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Yamcha looked like he was listening, but he waited for a long time and nothing happened.

"never mind."

In the end, the old Taoist priest didn’t say what it was.

From then on, Yamucha stayed in Longhu Mountain. On the surface, he stayed there as a lay Buddhist, but in fact, he followed the old Taoist priest and began his Taoist career.

He learned whatever the old master taught him, without any complaints at all.

Although Yamcha made a special trip to the world of "Under One Person" and visited the old master, it was just to learn the core power system of this world - Qi.

But apart from Qi, Yamcha was able to learn much more from the old master, which were things that his 'teachers' in other worlds could not teach him.

The reason why Yamcha didn't pester Master Kame to become his disciple was because he had a better master in his heart.

Old Heavenly Master Zhang Zhiwei!

“Qi is invisible energy that is present in everything in the universe and interacts with the human body, nature and the universe to form an integrated ecosystem.”

“Qi is also the beginning of the Wuji, that is, the original Qi when the heaven and earth were first created. It is formless and imageless, has no beginning and no end, is immortal, and represents the original state of the universe and the origin of life.”

The old Taoist priest taught in great detail. Ever since he knew that Yamucha himself did not know Qi, he started his explanation from the origin of Qi, and sometimes even interspersed some Taoist thoughts.

Yamcha listened very seriously and studied even more seriously. In order to prevent himself from forgetting something, he not only used his brain to memorize but also used a computer.

He recorded the old master's words and played them on a loop every night when he was resting and meditating. If he found something he didn't understand, he would go to the old master for answers the next day.

He did not delete the recording until he fully understood it. In his words, it is to review the past in order to learn new things.

Even if the old master taught Taoist philosophy, Yamucha would fully understand it, and his serious attitude was praised by the old master.

"Master."

Yamucha would call the old master "teacher" when no one was around. At first, the old master refused, but Yamucha insisted, so he just let him go. The old master said calmly, "Speak."

"Master, I understand the principles, but why do I have to practice Tai Chi and learn at the same time?"

Led by the old Taoist priest, Yamcha followed him in the living area of ​​the Taoist temple, practicing Tai Chi slowly.

Cut a watermelon in half, one half for you and one half for him.
"Tai Chi is originally Wuji, which is both Yin and Yang. You should experience it with your heart and feel it with your body. It is most suitable for teaching beginners like you to comprehend Qi."

"But aren't you from the Zhengyi School? Tai Chi is from the Wudang School, right?"

"Pedant, who cares which school it is from, as long as it is useful. I'm just teaching you Tai Chi, even if Zhou Meng knew, he wouldn't say anything."

Yamcha scratched his head and continued to follow the old Taoist priest to "cut watermelons". It was the first time that he was called old-fashioned by others.

The Zhou Meng mentioned by the old Taoist priest is the contemporary Wudang leader.

"Besides, Wudang is also a Zhengyi sect. Don't tell others that I know you. It's embarrassing."

Finally, the old Taoist priest added a sentence with a look of disgust.

Yamcha: “.”

He never stopped practicing Tai Chi once he started, and it became a compulsory course in the morning. To be honest, it is indeed very useful. At least Yamcha can see his own visible progress.

"Yamucha, what is the law of nature?"

Facing the old Taoist's question, Yamucha thought for a moment and answered honestly: "Follow the laws of the development of things themselves."

The long and eloquent speech made the listeners drowsy.

So Yamcha was interrupted by the old Taoist priest before he could say a few words.

"That's right and that's not right. What you said is just a repetition of other people's classic ideas. Those things are not yours."

Yamucha said respectfully, "Please enlighten me, Master."

"To put it crudely and simply, I can do whatever I want, follow nature, and the final right of interpretation belongs to me."

"How about being more elegant?"

"Everything in the world is natural. It is the result of following the most primitive desires and the ecological cycle. For example, if you are kind-hearted and are not bewitched by bad people to do bad things, this is natural. On the contrary, if you are bewitched by bad people or influenced by some evil factors and do bad things, this is not natural."

Yamcha nodded thoughtfully.

"Master, what should I do if I feel sleepy while meditating?"

Yamcha was not used to meditating at first, and sometimes he would feel sleepy after sitting for a while.

"Go to bed if you're tired."

"If you feel sleepy, it means your body is not ready for it. There's no need to force yourself to continue. Just let your body rest naturally."

"Do what you can, and don't force yourself to do things that exceed your body's capacity."

After a period of time, Yamcha was still humbly asking for advice.

"Master, I heard that if you want to double your cultivation speed, you need to pay attention to eight words: less thinking, less desire, tranquility, and nothingness."

"It's the same sentence, right and wrong. In fact, the eight words you said can be summarized in three words - essence, energy, and spirit."

“When your spirit is not full, no matter what you do, you will get half the result with twice the effort. But as long as your spirit is sufficient, you can get twice the result with half the effort.”

"If you are not energetic enough, nourish your spirit; if you are not in good spirits, nourish your qi; if you are not energetic enough, nourish your essence. Only when the three form a virtuous cycle can you live forever."

Yamcha nodded seriously.

After a while, Yamcha had already regarded himself as a Taoist priest.

"Master, I heard that Taoists are supposed to be pure-hearted and free from desires, to take everything lightly, and not to lose their temper."

As soon as Yamcha finished speaking, he was hit hard on the head by the old master.

"Bullshit! Who told you that Taoist priests can't have a bad temper?!"

"You were a human before you became a Taoist priest, and as a human you have seven emotions and six desires. You don't have to force it, just follow nature and keep your heart."

"But losing your temper frequently will damage your liver. You need to regulate your body in time after venting your anger."

Yamucha wrote it down in a small notebook.

One is willing to teach, the other is willing to learn. Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a year has passed.

He benefited a lot from the old master's visit during this period.

Not to mention the practice of 'Qi', Yamcha's other abilities have been greatly improved.

For example, the ripple qigong.

To practice breathing until it becomes natural and to maintain the same steady rhythm of breathing no matter what you do is the basic Taoist skill of nourishing qi, but for Yamucha, the Ripple Messenger, this has no intention of becoming a magical skill.

Yamcha incorporated the ripple breathing method into it, which means that there is no need to use it deliberately. Every breath of Yamcha is practicing ripple qigong.

This alone is enough to make Yamcha's strength improve rapidly.

Not to mention other aspects.
