Chapter 160: Master Dingxing, Enlightenment through Pigeon Training

Geng Xuan let Liu Xiaocui go and looked at Du Mingjie again.

Asked a heart-wrenching question:

"So, you are sure that I won't kill you for such a small matter, right?"

Du Mingjie didn't answer, but just knocked his head heavily on the ground.

Then, he kept banging his head on the ground, making a dull "bang bang bang" sound.

As far as Geng Xuan himself was concerned, he did not feel uncomfortable about being "plotted against".

When the whole thing was presented in front of him in a relatively complete form, he found it more interesting.

But he was also very clear that it would be inappropriate to just downplay the matter.

Aren’t there many smart people like Du Mingjie in this world?
If he handles this matter casually today, tomorrow, there might be ten or even a hundred similar incidents.

So, he just watched quietly and didn't say anything to stop it.

He didn't take action until Du Mingjie's condition obviously deteriorated.

Geng Xuan injected a force of neither light nor heavy into his body, dissipating the strength in his body and preventing him from continuing to knock down the opponent.

After a pause, Geng Xuan said, "Okay, raise your head."

Du Mingjie raised his head. His forehead was already covered in blood. The blood was flowing down his cheeks, making him look extremely miserable.

Geng Xuan, however, felt no sympathy for this.

To be honest, Du Mingjie's response to his heart-piercing question was quite cunning.

Even though he kowtowed without any impurity every time and his current condition was indeed very bad, there was obviously a thread in his heart.

Otherwise, why didn't he accidentally knock himself to death?
Geng Xuan stared at Du Mingjie, whose breath was already quite weak but whose eyes were still bright, and said:
"You are ambitious!"

Du Mingjie's eyes flickered, but he did not avoid it. He responded directly to Geng Xuan's condescending scrutiny.

"So, whether it's confessing your guilt or asking for help, it's not your real purpose."

Geng Xuan looked at Xie Hang beside him and asked, "Now, what do you think his purpose is?"

Xie Hang is not stupid, just a little silly.

Seeing this, he naturally had some ideas of his own in his mind.

In response to Geng Xuan's question, he replied directly:
"Since he is so cunning, even if Fengzefang moves west, the three of them will definitely not die.

Even if you can't live a good life, it's not difficult to find a meal in Yueluyuan.

If that were the case, he wouldn't have to come to me.

Once we leave, who would know that their mistress was actually killed by their scheme?
……

So, I think he was risking his own death, probably for a chance.”

"An opportunity?" Geng Xuan repeated it with some amusement.

"Well, a chance to meet you." Xie Hang said.

He paused and emphasized:

"This is also the greatest opportunity he will ever encounter in his life!"

Geng Xuan looked at Du Mingjie and asked, "Is that so?"

Upon hearing this, Du Mingjie did not answer, but pretended to knock to the ground again.

Geng Xuan frowned and said, "If you knock again, I will let Xie Hang send the three of you out."

Du Mingjie then stopped and knelt upright again.

"Now, answer me, do you want a chance from me?"

"Yes."

This time, Du Mingjie did not evade the question and responded directly.

"Are you so sure that I will give you a chance?" Geng Xuan.

Du Mingjie said:

"I'm not sure, but even if there's only a 10% or 10% chance, it's worth our best efforts."

"You're even willing to take Liu Xiaocui and Fan Hao with you to take risks?" Geng Xuan asked again.

If you want to risk your life for a one-tenth or even one-hundredth chance, then go ahead and do it, no one will stop you.

But you relied on Liu Xiaocui's love for you, and Fan Hao, who was still a teenager and respected you like an elder brother, to let them follow you to take risks.

Moreover, it was obvious that the two of them were kept in the dark about his real purpose.

Don't you feel guilty at all for doing this?
Du Mingjie looked directly into Geng Xuan's eyes without avoiding them at all, and said:
"Sir, our lives are always filled with danger.
Xiao Cui lived in fear every day at Fengzefang.

She was not worried that one day she would displease her mistress and sell her to a brothel.

I'm just worried that it might be given to someone as a reward.

Do you think she will be safer if you don't bring her to you?

I want to protect him, but I am just a follower of the abbot.

There are so many people watching me every day, waiting for me to make mistakes.

If I want to marry her, I have to be cautious, plan carefully, and strive for the most suitable opportunity.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t even dare to mention it.

Fan Hao loves to wield guns and sticks, and I think he is also very talented in this area.

But with no resources and no guidance, I can only practice on my own.

If he knew my real purpose, his reaction would definitely be more positive than anyone else's.

I didn't tell him because I didn't want him to reveal his flaws in front of Captain Xie and lose the chance to meet you in person.

Now, you have to ask him if he wants such an opportunity.

Not to mention one percent, even if it's one thousandth or one ten thousandth, I believe he would risk his life to fight for it!"

As if in response to Du Mingjie's words, Fan Hao, who had been kneeling on the ground with his head down and without saying a word, suddenly fell to the ground hard.

"Oh!"

Because he pushed too hard, the ground made a bang.

Then there is no more then.

Because he used too much force, Fan Hao fell to the ground.

Geng Xuan gestured to Xie Hang beside him and said, "See if this young man has killed himself."

Xie Hang, who already felt a little bit reluctant, quickly turned over Fan Hao, who was lying motionless on the ground. From the outside, he did not look as miserable as Du Mingjie, with no broken skin and no bleeding.

Xie Hang quickly checked it, breathed a sigh of relief, and said:

“He’s not dead, but I don’t know if his brain is damaged.

...It is said that many people became stupid because of a sudden and severe blow to the head. "

Geng Xuan nodded and said, "Take him down and treat him if possible."

Xie Hang responded, quickly picked up Fan Hao and walked out.

Geng Xuan looked at Du Mingjie again, who looked extremely miserable with blood all over his forehead, and said:

"If you had been as ruthless as Fan Hao just now, why would you have said so much?"

As he spoke, a smile gradually appeared on Geng Xuan's face, but his eyes became even calmer, which made Du Mingjie feel a chill in his heart as he had to look directly into his gaze.

"I do have an opportunity, but I wonder if you dare to take it." Geng Xuan said.

Du Mingjie's eyes flashed with excitement, and he said loudly:

"It is a great blessing for me to be able to serve you, sir. How dare I have any unreasonable thoughts? Just give me your orders!"

Geng Xuan nodded and said:

"The five districts moved westwards too hastily this time. In order to appease the residents, I took out nearly 200,000 taels of silver and asked Liang Wenying and others to distribute it to the residents below."

Upon hearing this, Du Mingjie's eyes widened instantly, and his breathing became hotter and heavier.

It’s not that he had any thoughts about the money, but the huge amount of money that was spent on the neighborhood was too shocking, even making people feel a little "scary".

However, he adhered to his duties, and even though he was extremely shocked and his face was full of emotions, he did not make any sound.

"My request is that no matter who they are or what their status in the community is, they should all be paid two taels of silver per person."

As he spoke, Geng Xuan looked at Du Mingjie and said in a teasing tone, "According to my request, each of you three can receive two taels."

Then, Geng Xuan shook his head and said:

“However, I am somewhat worried about the extent to which this matter can be implemented.

I'm not sure whether Liang Wenying and others will be blinded by this money.

There is no guarantee that those who are in charge of the actual work below will pay out the full amount of money.

I wanted to arrange someone to supervise this matter, but I couldn't find the right person for the time being.

Since you have shown up, I will leave this matter in your hands."

Upon hearing this, Du Mingjie became visibly excited.

Geng Xuan said, "Don't get excited yet. I haven't finished what I'm saying yet."

“I won’t send you more people. You have to figure out how to develop manpower in the neighborhood and how to supervise.

I also wouldn't be able to tell Liang Wenying and others clearly that you were the one I sent to supervise the distribution of money.

I will arrange another identity for you to eliminate Liang Wenying's ill will towards you and protect your safety.

The rest is up to you.

I have only one request. After the westward migration is completed, you must inform me in detail about the distribution of the silver.

If anyone wants to steal this money, no matter who it is, you must remember the person and give me a list of names when the time comes."

As Du Mingjie listened to Geng Xuan's story, his expression became more and more serious.

Finally, when Geng Xuan said, "Give me a list," Du Mingjie's body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Just think about the bloody storm this "adult" has unleashed in Yueluyuan in just two or three days.

He could roughly imagine the purpose of this list.

And he was the one who provided the list.

Du Mingjie didn't know the term "fishing method", but he could still feel the malice behind this "adult"'s arrangement.

Isn't the correct procedure for this matter to make the idea clear to Liang Wenying and others in advance and tell them clearly that he, Du Mingjie, is responsible for keeping an eye on this matter?

He believed that as long as he did this, even if he could not completely eliminate the problem, there would not be many people who dared to covet this money.

No matter how lovely money is, you need a life to enjoy it.

Everyone knows this.

However, these fleeting thoughts did not prevent Du Mingjie from expressing his determination with the most resolute attitude at the first opportunity.

"Please rest assured, I will definitely get it done!"

……

Just one hour after this conversation, inside Fengzefang.

Liang Wenying, who was so busy that she was dizzy, took time out to meet the "envoy" who came from Wanpingji.

He bowed respectfully to Cheng Hui who was riding on the Xuanyou horse in the lead.

"Captain Cheng, I wonder what instructions you have for coming here this time?"

Because Hong Quan, Cheng Hui and Xie Hang were all granted by Geng Xuan the right to lead a Xuanyou Iron Cavalry independently, the others addressed the three of them as "captains".

As for Du Mingjie, a former subordinate who was following behind Cheng Hui and also riding a Xuanyou horse, and who he had people carefully looking for in the past two days, he simply ignored it.

He turned a blind eye, but Cheng Hui deliberately brought Du Mingjie to Liang Wenying and said:

"Master Liang, Du Mingjie has already confessed his guilt to the gang leader.

Admitted that he was the one who arranged for Fan Hao to go to Wanpingji to tip off the police that night. "

Liang Wenying's face trembled when she heard this, and she tried her best to defend herself:
"Captain Cheng, these are all Du Mingjie's private actions.

After knowing that he had done such a thing, I have been looking for him everywhere these past two days... Fortunately, he still has some conscience and knows to take the initiative to confess his crime in front of the gang leader."

Cheng Hui nodded and said without comment:
"Since no serious consequences were caused, the gang leader did not punish him too much and assigned him a new task."

As he spoke, he coughed lightly, and after Liang Wenying showed an attentive look, he spoke again:

"Let Du Mingjie move with the westward migration team and keep a complete record of everything that happens during the migration of the Five Quarters to the west, and report it to our leader regularly.

In case of emergency, the situation must be reported immediately.

If our leader has any doubts about the westward migration, he must be answered promptly."

After listening to Cheng Hui's explanation of Du Mingjie's arrangements, Liang Wenying was stunned for a moment and said:
"Captain Cheng, we can all do this kind of thing. There's no need to find someone specifically, right?"

Cheng Hui said:
"You are responsible for the migration of so many people to the west. How many things do you have to worry about in a day? Where do you have the time to do this?"

"I can arrange for someone else to do it."

Cheng Hui nodded and said:
“If you want to, of course you can.

...In that case, when the time comes, let Du Mingjie and the people you arrange do a set of work according to the requirements I just mentioned, and report the news separately.

By comparing the two, we may be able to discover more valuable things. "

"Listen to both sides and you will be enlightened; listen to only one side and you will believe it."

Cheng Hui did not reject Liang Wenying's proposal. In the end, he had a flash of inspiration and came up with an idea that he thought was very constructive.

Seeing Cheng Hui's excited look, Liang Wenying nodded happily and said, "Okay, let's do as Captain Cheng says."

Before leaving, Cheng Hui also specifically reminded:

"Master Liang, please don't be too partial. Give all the help that should be given. You can't leave Du Mingjie behind."

Of course Liang Wenying nodded repeatedly.

After sending Cheng Hui away, Liang Wenying's bright smile gradually faded, and she said, "Du Mingjie, what a good move! You've climbed up the ladder!"

Du Mingjie looked terrified and said with a wry smile:
"Master, please stop insulting me.

I was at my wit's end, and had no other options, so I had no choice but to risk my life and give it a try."

As he spoke, he bowed deeply to Liang Wenying and said:
"Master, you should have known that I privately arranged for Fan Hao to go to Wanpingji to inform Master Mingrui.

Xiao Cui and I did this under the coercion of our mistress.

But the final result was that both Master Mingrui and his mistress died, which was something we never expected.

I know you feel for me because of this..."

Before Du Mingjie could continue speaking, Liang Wenying had already tightly grasped his hands.

He held Du Mingjie's hands tightly and shook them vigorously, as if to convey his sincere emotions.

"Okay, Mingjie, stop talking. I know everything. This is all their own fault. No one else is to blame.

Don't take it to heart!
Now, you finally have this opportunity, you must do it well.

...By the way, why didn't Xiao Cui and Fan Hao come back with you?"

Du Mingjie showed a happy smile on his face and said:

“I don’t know what happened, but Captain Xie liked Fan Hao and kept him, and even said that he would personally guide him in training in the future.

Xiao Cui also benefited from his influence and stayed with him."

Upon hearing this, Liang Wenying paused and held Du Mingjie's hands even tighter.

Du Mingjie could even feel a continuous and warm heat coming from Liang Wenying's palms.

"Mingjie, what's wrong with your head?"

At this time, Liang Wenying seemed to finally remember. Looking at Du Mingjie's forehead wrapped in layer upon layer of white gauze, she asked with concern.

Du Mingjie smiled bitterly:

"Of course I was punished."

He seemed not to want to talk about it any more, and immediately said:

"Master, you also know Captain Cheng's order.

This westward migration involves nearly 100,000 people from the five districts. I can't do it alone. You must help me!"

Liang Wenying asked: "How do you want me to help you?"

He did not look down on Du Mingjie in the slightest because he was punished.

For a murderer who would chop off people's heads or smash them into pieces at will.

Even if a person's head is broken, as long as the injury is not fatal, it is already an honor.

That is something that even many museum owners who have lost their heads cannot enjoy!
Du Mingjie said:

"I'm looking for people, not just from Fengzefang, but also from the other fourfangs."

Liang Wenying nodded and said:

"Okay, you can start by looking in our workshop.

I will also greet the heads of other monasteries and ask them to cooperate with you as much as possible."

With Liang Wenying's approval, Du Mingjie began to vigorously develop downlines in Fengzefang.

……

After dealing with Du Mingjie's matter, Geng Xuan suddenly had some free time.

As the day was about to end, some representatives from Yueluyuan Market came to submit a letter of surrender.

This time, Geng Xuan did not meet with them directly.

Instead, he asked Hong Quan to deal with it.

According to Hong Quan's subsequent report, after these people saw that Geng Xuan did not come out to meet them in person, their attitudes became more fearful and their gestures more respectful.

Before Hong Quan even spoke, they couldn't wait to show their sincerity in surrendering.

They were ready to fight to the death in Wanpingji if Hong Quan did not accept their surrender. It was not until Hong Quan gave them a clear answer that they left with satisfaction.

And it's not over yet.

Late that night, Hong Quan met with another group of representatives from the Yueluyuan Market who had come from farther away.

His guess seemed to be coming true little by little.

But Geng Xuan had already thrown these things aside.

Just around the evening, Hong Quan met with the market visitors.

Geng Xuan first consumed ninety-six points of luck to upgrade the Grandmaster's Yin Feng Hua Gu Palm to the perfect level.

Then, he consumed another sixty-four points of luck to upgrade his Star-fixing Technique from the master level to the grandmaster level.

From then on, Geng Xuan devoted almost all of his attention to digesting and comprehending the Yin Feng Hua Gu Palm at the Perfection level, and the Ding Xing Shu at the Grandmaster level.

……

The next day was November 22nd.

The trip to Yueluyuan is a long story, but in fact, it only took three or four days in total.

Late at night on the 18th, Bajiafang drove away the spies from the Wu family in Anleji.

The game is basically complete.

On the morning of the 19th, it was expected that it would take some time for the Wu family to search for clues and take revenge with all their might.

In addition, the situation in Yueluyuan was urgent, so Fan Hongsheng and others decided to take the opportunity to visit Yueluyuan.

After hearing the whole story, Geng Xuan decided to go with them. Before leaving, he first went to find Fan Qi, the owner of Kangleji, and changed his attitude from "indifferent neutrality" to "friendly neutrality".

Finally, we set off at around ten o'clock in the morning, traveled east for nearly a thousand miles, and arrived at Fengzefang in the evening of the 19th.

Afterwards, the massacres targeting Wanping Market, Wuyou Palace, and three other markets were concentrated on the nights of the 19th and 20th.

After Geng Xuan led the Xuanyou Iron Cavalry in a series of devastating massacres, the wind direction in the flexible Yueluyuan Market suddenly changed.

It was difficult for Geng Xuan to find a reason to take action.

Geng Xuan simply gathered his thoughts and refocused his mind on his personal cultivation.

In his opinion, this "riot in Yueluyuan" should come to an end.

With his current strength, he can only support such a situation at best.

From the moment the sky brightened, every half hour, riders would urge their Yuanzhou horses to rush to Wanpingji.

The news about the westward migration of the five prefectures, which was brought by Du Mingjie and Liang Wenying respectively, was passed on to Hong Quan.

This allowed Geng Xuan to know the entire westward migration of the Five Quarters clearly even though he was in Wanpingji.

There are a total of 97,657 people in the five districts, and there are a total of 92,657 people who followed the team to migrate west this time.

Another five thousand people did not travel west with the team, but stayed behind.

Because this time the westward migration was almost entirely about people, with very little other supplies.

All other supplies, including food, are still within the Wufang.

The five thousand people left behind are there to guard these resources.

They will continue to stay in Wujiafang until the entire westward migration is completed.

The team officially set off...

The team left the square...

The five migration teams gathered at the scheduled time and place...

Fan Hongsheng, Wei Wanzong and others led the Xuanyou Iron Cavalry to escort along the road. The long team of carriages and horses consisting of more than 92,000 residents officially set out on the journey to the west...

These news continued to be transmitted back to Wanpingji.

A grain transport team that was even larger than this westward migrating team also set out on the journey westward.

This massive grain transport team is centered around Liu Yueji, and its backbone consists of knights who came from all over Yueluyuan and have a very close relationship with Liu Yueji.

In addition, various markets actively cooperated by providing manpower and effort.

At the same time, there were markets everywhere that surrendered voluntarily and transported the grain they had stored to Liuyunfang designated by Geng Xuan.

For a moment, the entire Yueluyuan revealed a kind of vitality, and all things were competing to participate in the grand event.

Geng Xuan originally guessed that with such a good opportunity, Wuyou Palace, which still had a large number of bases and manpower in Yueluyuan, would definitely take advantage of it to stir up trouble.

But the fact is, everything went very smoothly.

Too smooth!
Geng Xuan guessed that Wuyou Palace might be secretly planning a big move.

If he doesn't take action, it's fine. But if he does, he will take someone's life.

However, this was exactly what Geng Xuan wanted.

After making sure that everything was on the right track and proceeding in an orderly manner, Geng Xuan once again focused his attention on the "Star Fixing Technique" that he had just broken through to the Grandmaster level yesterday.

After the Star-Fixing Technique broke through to the Grandmaster level, another huge change occurred.

Geng Xuan discovered that the pigeon pendant, which was said to be the "primer" necessary for practicing the "Star Fixing Technique", had suddenly become worthless.

no need.

He no longer needed the transformation of the dove pendant, and could actively spread the more subtle, dense and undetectable "ripples" from his body.

It was very easy to establish a wonderful connection with the carrier pigeons that were intercepted from the Wuyou Palace and kept in the stronghold these days through the "ripples" that spread out from each other.

As long as the two parties establish such a "ripple connection", Geng Xuan can control these pigeons with simple commands.

For example, "come back", "wait", "don't come near", "stay away", etc.

After trial and error, it was found that the maximum distance of this "ripple connection" can reach fifty miles.

And this is not Geng Xuan’s greatest achievement after he broke through the “Star Fixing Technique” to the Grandmaster level.

The biggest gain was that after Geng Xuan got rid of the "primer" of the pigeon pendant, he suddenly discovered that he and those carrier pigeons were not the only ones who could produce such wonderful ripples.

Everything else, people, dogs, birds in the sky, fish in the water, flowers and plants, living things, dead things, tables and chairs, bowls and chopsticks, pigeon pendants, and even mountains, rocks and the earth... can produce such ripples.

However, most of these ripples were very obscure, not as clear as those of him and the carrier pigeon.

More importantly, in addition to him who practices the "Star-Fixing Technique", the carrier pigeons can also actively utilize these ripples.

The ripples emitted by other objects, whether dead or alive, are in a blind, passive, and unconscious state.

And there is also a clear difference between being proactive and taking the initiative.

His initiative is truly complete initiative.

The initiative of homing pigeons is instinctive.

For those pigeons, the use of this ability is just an innate instinct.

Not to mention “knowing why it is so”, they don’t even “know why it is so”.

After having so many "ripples" for comparison, Geng Xuan also had a better understanding of these "ripples".

The first thing he realized was "frequency".

The ripples emitted by each object are different.

But the difference can be big or small.

Among them, the ripples emitted by the pigeon pendant have a very high frequency match with the ripples emitted by the carrier pigeon.

Geng Xuan, through the method of "fixing star technique" and the transformation of the pigeon pendant, can release ripples that are highly compatible with carrier pigeons without any prior experience.

This creates a connection.

From this perspective, the existence of "primers" is necessary and convenient.

If not, Geng Xuan, who had just started learning the art of star determination, had no idea how he could match the "frequency" of carrier pigeons among the almost infinite number of choices.

The second thing Geng Xuan realized was “connection”.

This kind of "connection" is not just a "ripple connection" with those homing pigeons.

It also includes the extremely deep connection based on the vital energy between Da Huang and Ba Xiao, which is generated through the dog-walking technique of the perfect state.

"Life force" is the term used in the "Running Dog Chapter".

Although, Geng Xuan never knew what this "life energy" was.

But when he got the hang of "dog-running techniques" and truly felt that after establishing the "life energy connection", he could achieve a deeper interaction with Da Huang and Ba Xiao.

With such solid evidence, Geng Xuan naturally would not question the credibility of the "life energy connection".

And now, Geng Xuan finally understood this so-called "life energy connection".

It also connected with the "ripples" of Dahuang and Baxiao that were unconscious and completely out of their control.

Moreover, it was a connection far deeper than that between him and those pigeons, a connection that almost firmly bound them together.

Geng Xuan therefore came up with a conjecture, to establish a stable "ripple connection" with other life forms, that is, a "connection at the level of life energy."

It is the essence of the nine secret arts that involve controlling and taming other life forms.

At the same time, establishing this connection does not require understanding the nature of "ripples".

Just like he practiced and mastered the "dog-running technique", whether it was the creator of this Nine-Rank Secret Technique or Geng Xuan the learner, from beginning to end, there was no concept of "ripples" in their thinking.

But this did not prevent him from practicing the "dog-running technique" to perfection.

And this is the orthodox way for people in this world to practice this kind of nine-level secret arts.

Each different living organism is like a "ripple black box".

The process of establishing a stable "ripple connection" with different life forms does not start from the essence of the "ripple".

Instead, we start from the different life forms themselves, their habits, endowments, etc., and eventually establish the "life energy connection" bit by bit.

To be honest, compared with the high-level insights after understanding the essence of "ripples", this method is rather clumsy.

But the advantages are also obvious, and it is easier to reap rewards.

In comparison, to comprehend the essence of "ripples" is like asking an ordinary person to climb a hundred meters into the air without the aid of any tools.

Under normal circumstances, one should follow the practice method of "Star Fixing Technique" in "Notes on Pigeon Training".

Forget about cultivating to the master level, you can only stay at the entry level in your whole life.

This is because the "star-fixing technique" performed with the help of "primers" will not give the user any effective experience or insights at all.

Take Geng Xuan’s own feelings at the entry level, minor success, and major success stages as an example.

No feelings at all!

In this case, how can a normal person go from the "entry level" to cross these "voids" in the middle and reach the "master level" where one can get a glimpse of the truth, and then go to the next level on this basis and reach the real master level?

……

Geng Xuan stretched out his hands.

One hand was placed on Huang Er's head.

Feeling its "ripples" that were clearer and more stable than those of Dahuang and its other brothers and sisters, as well as the stable connection between himself and it that had been established through the Perfection Dog Running Technique.

In the other hand, there was a carrier pigeon.

Use the "star-fixing technique" to create a "ripple connection" with it.

——It is worth mentioning that the "Star-fixing Technique" only allows Geng Xuan to understand the world from another wonderful perspective.

At the same time, through this technique, a special connection channel is established with homing pigeons that can instinctively control their own "ripples".

But this connection is unstable, which is fundamentally different from the stable connection he established with Dahuang and Baxiao using the "running dog technique".

At this moment, Geng Xuan was carefully experiencing the differences and similarities between them.

At the same time, Geng Xuan recalled over and over again in his mind the various habits and talents of these homing pigeons as recorded in Notes on Pigeon Training.

Frequently, he would also intersperse the "running dog technique" and related content about how he used the "running dog technique" to establish a "life energy connection" with Da Huang and Ba Xiao.

From the perspective of a bystander, Geng Xuan was holding the yellow-eared dog's head with one hand and a carrier pigeon with the other.

Huang Er seemed quite comfortable because he had a perfect connection with Geng Xuan in the art of running dogs.

The carrier pigeon in the palm of my hand gradually began to show signs of boredom as time went on.

It tilted its head and looked at Geng Xuan from time to time, as if wondering, "What is this man doing to me?"

From Geng Xuan's perspective, his palms were producing obvious "ripples" that were vibrating and spreading.

Among them, the "ripples" of the palm that touches the yellow-eared dog's head are continuous and stable.

The "ripples" of the palm holding the carrier pigeon rise and fall, intermittently, like a light that flickers on and off.

But as time goes on, the intervals between the throughput of those ripples become longer and longer.

The bigger change is that the initial changes were more like a random, clueless mess.

But later on, every rise and fall of the "ripples", every change of the "ripples", gradually developed an internal law.

Time lasts.

Geng Xuan sat in the yard outside the study, bored.

At a certain moment, the "ripples" of the hand holding the pigeon, which had not changed noticeably for a long time, suddenly underwent a slight adjustment.

Just like aiming at the last fine-tuning screw, Geng Xuan seemed to hear a pleasant and crisp "click" sound in his heart.

Almost at the same time, the carrier pigeon, which was bored to the point of being drowsy, suddenly shook, and its eyes instantly became bright and energetic.

Its little head suddenly turned and its eyes looked fixedly at Geng Xuan.

Geng Xuan sensed a look in its eyes that he had never seen before.

That is spirituality flowing.

This look is no longer just the look of a pigeon.

Rather, it is a pair of eyes that can simply convey emotions and communicate information.

However, soon, this wonderful state of "eye-catching" between the two parties disappeared.

The carrier pigeon returned to its bored and sleepy state.

This seems to indicate that this is still a failed attempt.

But Geng Xuan was not discouraged at all, instead he was extremely excited.

Because almost at the moment when he and the pigeon made eye contact, a message appeared in his mind.

[The host has initially understood the true meaning of "pigeon training". You only need to consume two points of luck to quickly get started. ]

【whether?】

Geng Xuan made his choice without hesitation.

"Yes."

As the two points of good luck disappeared, more relevant experiences, skills, insights and understandings emerged in Geng Xuan's mind.

When this all stops.

The art of pigeon training has been successfully mastered.

Geng Xuan also established a stable "eye-catching" relationship with the pigeon in his hand.

Although, because the pigeons themselves have weak intelligence and he has just started to learn the art of pigeon training, compared to the extremely rich communication with Dahuang and the others, the content of his communication with the pigeons in his hands is very limited.

More gains came from his deeper understanding and exploration of the habits and talents of creatures such as pigeons.

Geng Xuan even felt that his understanding of the pigeon in his hand exceeded the pigeon's understanding of itself.

This is the basis for large-scale domestication, breeding, and breed improvement.

This type of knowledge gained was quickly organized by Geng Xuan and placed in the corresponding areas of his brain.

You can read it anytime when you need it.

This type of gain takes up the least amount of "brain memory".

In less than two hours, Geng Xuan digested and processed everything he had learned from the introduction to "pigeon training".

Therefore, Geng Xuan used up six points of luck without hesitation to upgrade his "pigeon training technique" from entry level to minor success.

Here is a very interesting place.

If we follow the rule that "pigeon training" requires six points of luck to be consumed in order to achieve minor success, we can work backwards from this rule.

To learn the art of pigeon training normally, you need to consume three points of luck.

But he actually only consumed two points.

Geng Xuan guessed that this was because he had already understood some of the true meaning of "pigeon training".

As for the entry requirements, I have already filled one third of them, and only two thirds of the gap remains to be filled by good luck.

Similar situations also occurred frequently when he was making and refining medicine.

That's because he has mastered the "art of medicine" and has become a veritable genius in the pharmaceutical field. Without the help of good luck, he can quickly master various pharmaceutical skills and continuously improve them.

In the end, you can even prepare new formulas at will according to your needs.

Now, similar signs have appeared on the "Nine Streams of Secret Arts".

Geng Xuan couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.

"If this continues, will my talent in these kinds of ninth-rate secret arts become as monstrous as my ability to make medicine after mastering the 'Medicine Stone Technique'?"

Thinking about it carefully, Geng Xuan felt that this was very possible.

I have learned the art of pigeon training, but the path I am taking is not the common one in this world.

By understanding, becoming familiar with, and mastering the habits and talents of living beings such as homing pigeons, we can "search" little by little from the outside to the inside, from the outside to the inside, and from the bottom to the top.

Instead, it relies on a deep understanding of “ripples”, starting from a high-level perspective, and “looking down” from top to bottom.

In this world, my accomplishments mean that I have reached the level of a grandmaster in this business field, where "one thing leads to a hundred", "different paths lead to the same destination", and "the skill is close to the Tao".

Of course, in the area of the "Nine Streams of Secret Arts", Geng Xuan is only on this path now, and he still has a long way to go before he can truly reach this level.

However, this pointed out the future direction for Geng Xuan.

"The first step is to practice the Star Fixation Technique to perfection."

"By then, I might be able to make some bolder attempts... For example, try to figure out the 'horse-viewing technique'?!"
