Chapter 15 Obtaining the Fa
The young man shook his head and said, "It's too chaotic there now, and the masters are not interested in teaching. I don't want to get involved in this mess, so I'll come back and hide for a few days to avoid the limelight."

He reacted indifferently to Geng Xuan, the freeloader who had the audacity to come to his house.

There was no sign of welcome nor rejection, just treating it as a normal thing.

Based on the memories of his previous life, Geng Xuan knew that this eldest son of the Chen family was not targeting him; that was just his character.

In the memory of his previous life, Chen Zheng was originally very cheerful, even a leader among children. But after his mother passed away, he suddenly became much quieter.

Later, as Chen Rongshan married his current aunt home, there was also estrangement in addition to the silence.

Ever since he entered the nearby martial arts hall in the market, he has lived in the hall permanently and returns home only a few times each year.

Knowing this from the memories of his previous life, Geng Xuan understood that his indifferent reaction to his arrival was not directed at him, but was simply due to his personality.

Except for being a little special to his younger sister Chen Yu, he treats everyone like this.

If you have something to say, say it. If you don’t, don’t say it.

Just focus on eating.

Geng Xuan was also happy to be a serious worker.

Thanks to Chen Zheng's return home, the meal was quite rich, and each dish was exquisitely cooked and delicious.

After the meal, Geng Xuan, who was a little full, leaned back in his chair to digest the food.

To the woman who was clearing the dishes:
"Aunt, after eating the meal you cooked today, I don't know what to do next.

Compared to your cooking skills, what I make is just pig food... No, even pigs won’t eat it.”

The woman was startled, and smiled bitterly in her heart. In the end, she followed Geng Xuan's wishes and said with a smile:
"If you don't mind, you can eat at my house from now on."

Geng Xuan said “sorry”: “This… won’t cause you any trouble, right?”

"It's not a big deal. We have to do it anyway. One more or one less person won't affect anything."

"Okay then." Geng Xuan agreed reluctantly.

The woman nodded, cleaned up the dishes and went to the kitchen to work.

Watching his aunt walk away, Geng Xuan saw Chen Zheng standing up and walking towards the bedroom, so he quickly asked, "Brother Chen, are you okay now?"

Chen Zheng stopped, looked at Geng Xuan, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Geng Xuan nodded and said, "I would like to ask you some advice on cultivation."

Although he had already made an appointment with Chen Rongshan to chat in the evening, since Chen Jiadalang, who had received formal education in a martial arts school, was at home, there was no need to wait until night.

Chen Zheng's eyes finally became a little strange when he looked at Geng Xuan, as if he finally realized that the guy in front of him was a bit "presumptuous".

Although they were neighbors and their fathers had a good relationship, there was really no friendship between Chen Zheng and his predecessor Geng Xuan.

However, facing Geng Xuan's sincere gaze, Chen Zheng was stunned for a moment, then said, "Come with me."

As he said that, he took Geng Xuan to the backyard.

Geng Xuan certainly knew that many of his actions in his dealings with the Chen family were really excessive, and could even be said to be shameless and uneducated.

But this was the choice Geng Xuan made after much consideration.

Chen Rongshan's several performances brought a lot of extra burden to Geng Xuan.

In order to figure out the motives behind his behavior, he burned a lot of brain cells.

Finally, Geng Xuan had an epiphany.

Instead of wasting time on yourself, it is better to trouble others.

Are you causing trouble for others?
Even becoming the trouble itself?
Hey, that's right.

Not only did he not hide the differences between himself and his predecessor, he even acted more exaggerated and extreme.

One glance gives one an intuitive and vivid feeling that “this doesn’t look like the same person at all.”

Now, even Chen Jiadalang, who seldom goes home, feels this clearly.

……

"I want to start practicing the second stage of body tempering, but I don't have a suitable method. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Geng Xuan didn't beat around the bush and stated his intention directly.

Chen Zheng, who had been a little indifferent at first, suddenly fixed his eyes on Geng Xuan and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Of course, I can't joke about myself, right?" Geng Xuan said.

Chen Zheng stared at him and slowly stretched out his hand, with his palm as big as a palm fan almost covering Geng Xuan's face.

"Come on, help me!"

Geng Xuan nodded, without showing any weakness, and stretched out his palm to join Chen Zheng's big hand.

Chen Zheng did not move, but the moment his palms touched, Geng Xuan felt a wave of force rushing towards him.

Sometimes the force seemed to be pushing him, sometimes it seemed to be pulling him, and sometimes it seemed to disappear.

Geng Xuan felt like he was standing on a sampan that was tossing with the waves. Whether he was forward or backward, left or right, his body's center of gravity was always changing and he could be turned upside down at any time.

In order to stand firmly, the body must respond correctly to offset the force that disturbs the center of gravity. For example, at this moment, facing the force that is like a tide and may make him fall flat on his face in the next moment, Geng Xuan's skin is either stretched or tightened, and the surging force is either resisting or obeying, all of which are just right, allowing him to stand there steadily.

After a while, Chen Zheng withdrew his hand and nodded, "Not bad, although it's still a little reluctant, but I am indeed qualified to take the next step."

The look he gave Geng Xuan was one of surprise and admiration.

Listening to the other party's praise, Geng Xuan had a feeling that until this moment, the eldest son of the Chen family had only considered himself a figure in his heart.

Chen Zheng asked again: "Do you have any requests?"

"Request? I want a method that can help me enter the second stage of body tempering." Geng Xuan said.

Chen Zheng shook his head.

“You are too general. The second stage of body tempering is to refine the flesh, which covers a wide range, including blood, flesh, fascia, and even the internal organs.

Different methods have different routes and focuses, and the effects after learning will also be different.

Some focus on starting from the outside and working inside, step by step, with rapid progress in the early stages. From a practical perspective, the improvement effect will also be obvious.

Some focus on working from the inside out, first strengthening the internal organs and gradually working their way to the whole body. Progress is slow and the effects are slow to appear in the early stages, but it can strengthen the foundation and cultivate vital energy.

Some start with the fascia of the whole body, with the first priority being to improve reaction ability, flexibility, agility, lightning-fast movements, and dodging. "

After a brief introduction, Chen Zheng said:

"Compared to skin refining, flesh refining has deeper connotations, more choices, and is more likely to confuse people. If you make a choice without thinking it through, you will suffer greatly in the future."

Geng Xuan could tell that these words were spoken from the heart, and that he was really thinking about himself, and he fully explained the pros and cons of the matter.

He thought about it carefully and asked:
"I roughly understand what you mean. If I understand correctly, this difference is more reflected in the initial stage of flesh refining, right?
As long as we keep practicing and making progress, we will eventually reach the same destination, right?"

Chen Zheng was startled, and his gaze towards Geng Xuan became much more serious.

"Are you serious?"

"of course."

Chen Zheng nodded: "Okay, since you think so, then things will be simple."

As he said this, he turned and went into the house. After a while, he came out of the house with a book in his hand.

"This is my method of refining the flesh, you can use it to practice."

Geng Xuan's face lit up with joy and he reached out to take it.

Just as he was about to take it, Chen Zheng suddenly withdrew his hand, and the look in his eyes as he stared at Geng Xuan changed from serious to sharp.

"You are so frivolous when it comes to making a choice that affects your future. Do you take this as a joke?"

"No, I'm serious."

Chen Zheng sneered.

"You are either crazy and ignorant, or you are hopelessly stupid."

After saying that, he threw the book to Geng Xuan, and then, without saying another word, he turned around and left.

Perhaps he felt there was no need to talk anymore.

After all, good words can't persuade a damned ghost.

Geng Xuan held the book carefully in his hands, looked at Chen Zheng's quickly receding back, and opened his mouth to say something.

In the end, he wisely kept his mouth shut.

There is really no point in saying anything more at this time, except to annoy people.

Looking at the book in his hand, Geng Xuan felt very amazed.

No matter what, he never expected that the method of the second level of body tempering could be obtained so easily.

Although there were some misunderstandings in the process, the result was undoubtedly perfect.

Tidal Breathing

……

Because he had already gained something from Chen Zheng and was afraid of any complications, after Chen Rongshan came as agreed that night, Geng Xuan did not tell him that he was seeking the method of flesh refining, but instead asked about many other difficult problems in cultivation.

Chen Zheng didn't know why he did that, and he never mentioned this to his father.

Geng Xuan also felt relieved, as he didn't have to listen to any more earnest advice.

For several days thereafter, except for eating, Geng Xuan spent all his time studying and figuring out this method.

He was also thick-skinned enough, and when faced with difficulties, he would ask seriously even if Chen Zheng had a stern face.

At first, Chen Zheng, who was obviously a little emotional, was very indifferent, but in the end he couldn't withstand his "attack" again and again.

Finally, under Chen Zheng's guidance, after five days of careful consideration, a piece of information emerged in Geng Xuan's mind.

[The host has basically understood the key points of practicing the "Tidal Breathing Method", and his body is fully equipped to practice this method. He can consume three points of luck to quickly get started.]
