Becoming a Taoist Master by Walking on the Underworld

Chapter 10 Yangyuan Soup

Almost subconsciously, Chen Yushu set his eyes on his attribute panel.

“There are indeed changes on the attribute panel.

There is actually a separate column directly labeled as 'Martial Arts' category.

In terms of classification, although there is only one type of martial arts, namely "Medicine King Posture", it is a real martial art.

However, there is no corresponding experience bar above, is it because I haven't yet started practicing?"

Chen Yushu's eyes flickered. Although he was still a little confused, he was very happy in his heart.

“Next is the second move.

The breathing method of the second form is slightly different, especially when the movements are connected, the breathing will change from slow to rapid..."

Qian Qian explained and patted Lu Liang and Xue Ming from time to time. Every pat made a muffled sound. The movements and breathing of the two became more standard and regular with his patting.

This is the transmission of force through the air, using the force to guide and correct their movements and breathing rhythm.

This is also the fundamental reason why his advice is valuable.

Using strength to guide is certainly much better than practicing hard and exploring silently by yourself.

Chen Yushu did not receive such treatment, but he found that he could fully understand Master Qian's explanations, as long as he performed the movements correctly and adjusted his breathing to match them.

After a while, I felt that tingling sensation again.

"Is it because of the second level of reading, 'clear meaning'?"

Vaguely, he had a sudden realization.

Reading and understanding the meaning can speed up his understanding of martial arts practice.

Then the third and fourth...

Chen Yushu's physical strength and energy were rapidly consumed, and he was sweating profusely in a short while.

But he still gritted his teeth and persisted until he had finished learning all 36 forms. Then Qian Qian spoke and said, "Okay, there are 36 forms in total for Medicine King Posture.

Now I have taught you all thirty-six moves.

The new apprentices have a total of three days to learn martial arts. I will teach you again tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

If you still haven’t learned it after three times, don’t blame me.

By the way, remember to go to the pharmacy to get the medicine from Manager Zhou later. Of course, you can also deposit it for later use, or sell it to me.

A dose of herbal medicine costs three taels of silver in the pharmacy, but I’ll give you two taels of silver and teach you for three more days for free.

This is already very affordable. If you sell it to others, you can only get an extra half tael of silver per copy at most. It is better for you to let me teach you for three days. I guarantee you a 50% chance of mastering the basic skills within three months."

"Thank you Master Qian for your reminder. I will consider it."

Chen Yushu bowed and then took a rest aside.

After practicing the thirty-six stances of standing meditation, he was really tired and his physical strength was greatly depleted.

So much so that in the end, his movements began to become distorted and the effect was less than one tenth of what it was. He could even clearly hear the gurgling sound coming from his stomach.

As for the other party's proposal, he certainly would not consider it.

Practicing martial arts is obviously a very physically demanding activity.

Especially when practicing the Medicine King Posture, he felt it more and more clearly. It would be fine if he practiced it incorrectly, but once he practiced it correctly, the consumption would increase greatly, and it would not be enough to rely on three meals a day.

You must eat meat for nourishment.

And that medicine, one serving was worth three taels of silver. It was definitely a very nutritious thing and extremely beneficial for his martial arts training. Of course, he couldn't sell it.

…”I have memorized and mastered almost every movement of the 36-style Yaowang Zhuang Gong, as well as the corresponding breathing method.

However, it is extremely difficult to perform the entire standing meditation exercise completely.

With my current physical strength, I am simply not able to support it!"

Chen Yushu stood in a corner of the backyard, panting, sweat pouring down his body like water.

While other apprentices were busy with their work, he had already stood in the corner and started practicing.

However, when he actually started practicing, he realized how difficult it was.

He could do all the 36 stances of standing meditation, one move at a time, when practiced separately. At least after the movements and breathing were matched, he could clearly feel a kind of harmony. There was a special kind of heat that was forced out from all parts of his body, creating an illusion as if countless ants were crawling on his body.

However, when he actually started to move from the first form to the second form, the third form..., he found that the difficulty was countless times greater than before.

He had just finished breakfast and could only practice the sixth move in a row before he could not continue. He was severely exhausted, his vision went dark, and he was extremely hungry.

I glanced at the properties panel.

Among the above martial arts, Yaowang Zhuanggong is still in the "unentered" state.

Obviously, with his current level of mastery, he is not yet able to start practicing it.

"Perhaps, only by performing the entire Zhuang Gong in a coherent manner can we get started? Only then will the corresponding experience bar appear."

Chen Yushu guessed in his mind, slowly stood up, and then walked step by step towards the front yard and the direction of the pharmacy.

He had to nourish himself, otherwise not only would he not be able to practice martial arts, he might even pass out from hunger.

Soon, he found Manager Zhou in the shop, bowed, and said, "Manager Zhou, I want to get a dose of herbal medicine."

"Row.

But I have to remind you that although Yangyuan Decoction is very beneficial for your martial arts practice, I advise you to use it after you have mastered the standing meditation.

Otherwise, if you drink the medicine but can't absorb it, it will just be a waste."

Manager Zhou did not refuse, but still gave a reminder.

"Thank you for your reminder, Manager Zhou. I still want to get that portion of medicine."

Chen Yushu insisted.

Nodding, Manager Zhou stopped trying to persuade him and immediately instructed an apprentice beside him, "Go, get him some Yang Yuan Soup and boil it for him."

"Okay, Manager Zhou."

The apprentice nodded and walked towards the medicine cabinet.

It is worth mentioning that this apprentice is Zhang Ruyun, who was mentioned by Li Hu this morning. He has mastered the standing meditation to a small degree and has started learning boxing.

After a while, he had a medicine bag in his hand.

This kind of medicine bag obviously contains the medicinal materials for Yangyuan Soup which have been prepared long ago. It only needs to be cooked at a certain temperature for a period of time to make the soup.

"Thank you, Brother Zhang."

Chen Yushu thanked him quietly. The other party glanced at him casually, then began to boil the herbs silently.

Half an hour later, Chen Yushu had a bowl of gray-black medicine with a strong smell in his hand.

"Is this the Yang Yuan Soup?"

Chen Yushu muttered to himself, but did not dare to hesitate. He picked it up and took a sip.

The taste is not as bitter as expected, but it is certainly not delicious.

Then, he took two sips at a time and soon finished the entire bowl of medicine.

Not a drop left!
Just as he was about to experience something carefully, he soon felt that his original feeling of hunger disappeared without a trace, and his body became hot, as if there were streams of steam rising continuously.
