The Lord of the Laws of Heaven

Chapter 225 Martial Arts Classics
Xiao Jun returned to the valley and continued to implement the strategy of teaching these foxes.

In fact, he was mainly reading. Xiao Jun was quite interested in many of the books in it, and turned them all into his own nourishment.

……

"Sir, Empress Yuanfei asked if you need anything?" Mr. Tu said to Xiao Jun, and then said that Empress Yuanfei had some insights after reading the manuscript left by Xiao Jun, and told Mr. Tu that she owed Xiao Jun a favor and would meet any needs.

After hearing this, Xiao Jun thought for a moment and nodded slightly, then said to Master Tu, "I'm planning to practice martial arts, but unfortunately I don't know where to start. Please, Empress Yuan, teach me the way of martial arts."

He would not refuse. Firstly, learning martial arts was extremely important to Xiao Jun. He had originally set his sights on Concubine Yuan. Even if Concubine Yuan had not said so, Xiao Jun would have asked for it.

Secondly, although "The Master of Health Preservation" is only Xiao Jun's understanding of health preservation, it is unknown what kind of help it gave to Yuan Fei. Xiao Jun has also read "Taoist Scriptures". The communication between him and Master Tu allowed Xiao Jun's wisdom to understand some of the mysteries of Taoism, but the core of Taoism is still the cultivation of the mind.

This casual work gave Concubine Yuan inspiration, and Concubine Yuan actually wanted to repay her. If Xiao Jun refused, it would be detrimental to Concubine Yuan's practice. So he simply exchanged it neatly. Such decisiveness was of great benefit to both Concubine Yuan and Xiao Jun.

From a secular perspective, the need for such a process of resignation is a constant, entangled act, a petty means of maintaining so-called personal relationships. Perhaps this is how most people handle interpersonal relationships.

But practitioners do not need to do so. Their practice is to avoid such behaviors that involve the mind.

Moreover, "the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water", and scholars also need to cultivate their hearts in this way.

When dealing with ordinary people, Xiao Jun might use a secular perspective, but when facing someone like Princess Yuan, Xiao Jun would only choose to handle the relationship with a straightforward heart.

"If I can master the martial arts and achieve success in my cultivation... I will naturally need to repay you."

Xiao Jun was thinking a lot in an instant, looking at Tu Lao, but saw Tu Lao nodded and said to Xiao Jun: "I will tell the Empress Yuan."

"Hmm!" Xiao Jun continued to flip through books and scriptures.

"Sir... I do have a request." Old Tu said to Xiao Jun, his tone sounding a little conflicted.

"What... say it!" Xiao Jun looked at the old fox standing in front of him, wondering what the old fox needed.

"I want to see the manuscripts left by the master."

"Oh, whatever you want. After all, it's just a manuscript and not yet a system. If you don't understand something, you can ask me." Xiao Jun replied.

"Thank you, sir." After saying that, Mr. Tu stood up and bowed.

……

Mr. Tu informed Concubine Yuan. Although no one knows how he did it, it seems that he had some specific means.

Moreover, the current imperial palace is not very strict. When Concubine Yuan ran out of the palace, Yang Pan chose to turn a blind eye. He also had some means of communicating with Chunhu.

Although Xiao Jun knew that there were many secrets inside the palace, Yang Pan also concealed many of them.

On this night, Xiao Jun was inside the book cave, studying and comprehending the Buddhist wisdom contained therein.

At this time, the mind was full of life, and that wonderful spiritual will interacted with the spirits of heaven and earth. Since Xiao Jun made a great aspiration and practiced his spiritual cultivation in seclusion, his spiritual will had undergone a wonderful change, becoming one with the spirits of heaven and earth.

It's not just the endless life of your own body, but also the exchange of every breath and every living spirit between heaven and earth.

When reading a book, I even understand the spirit of the writer.

The spirit revealed by the writer was accurately captured by Xiao Jun, and the writer's inner state of mind also directly became Xiao Jun's nourishment.

Sitting in front of the table, suddenly, a package fell on the table.

Xiao Jun looked up and saw Concubine Yuan looking at him with a smile. Xiao Jun glanced at her, then stood up and bowed, then asked directly, "Why are you here, Concubine Yuan?"

"Open the package and take a look?" Princess Yuan smiled, but did not say it directly. Instead, she kept it a secret.

Xiao Jun nodded and opened the package on the table. Inside, he saw a variety of books. Xiao Jun opened them thoroughly and took a look. "Flying Spirit Bone Tempering Hand", "Tiger Demon Bone Refining Fist"...

If you flip through it casually, you will see some drawings of little people doing actions, and some explanations, which are surprisingly some martial arts secrets.

His expression showed unconcealed surprise.

"Some of these martial arts are my own, and some I got from the Qian Emperor's library." Princess Yuan said with a smile: "These martial arts classics are enough for you to cultivate to the marrow refining realm."

"Empress Yuan, you've been so helpful to me!" Xiao Jun couldn't help but shake his head, a look of surprise and joy between his brows. "If Empress Yuan has any requests in the future, I will definitely meet them."

"No need, I'm just repaying you for your help to me. The manuscripts you left behind have been of great help to me. I'm repaying you just to have an idea cleared up!" Princess Yuan said with a giggle.

"No matter what, Empress Yuan has been very kind to me."

Princess Yuan stopped talking. She knew that both parties had their own standards in their hearts. In addition to repaying Xiao Jun, she was also investing herself.

"I'll teach you martial arts first and give you some pointers. You can then practice on your own." Princess Yuan asked Xiao Jun to come out. "I'll teach you the Bull Demon Power Fist first. It's the best entry-level technique in the Great Zen Temple. I only discovered it by chance!"

After saying this, Yuan Fei began to demonstrate. Despite her seemingly frail frame, every time she raised her hands and feet, she created a powerful sound, and each step left a deep footprint on the ground. Besides being a Ghost Immortal cultivator, Yuan Fei was also a Grandmaster at the Marrow Refining Realm.

Soon, all three moves of "Bull Demon's Powerful Fist" were practiced, and Princess Yuan began to gather her energy and regulate her breathing.

"Have you watched it?"

"Try it!" Xiao Jun clearly remembered these martial arts styles, and deduced the specific ways of muscle and bone functioning in his mind, and felt the spirit of this martial arts.

He began practicing, his Qi and blood flowing freely, and Xiao Jun perfectly replicated the Bull Demon Fist that Yuan Fei had performed. Even Yuan Fei couldn't help but sigh that Xiao Jun had learned her own actual fighting techniques.

He was impressed by Xiao Jun's talent in practicing martial arts, and then he tried to probe Xiao Jun, and his brows couldn't help but frown.

After Xiao Jun completely completed the "Bull Demon Power Fist", he took a deep breath, feeling the subtle changes in the breath in the martial arts, and his own magical spiritual will felt the changes in the qi, blood, tendons and bones in every part of his body.

"You are very good. You learned the Bull Demon Fist after only watching it once. However, it seems that you have no chance of achieving immortality." After saying this, Princess Yuan felt a little regretful.

"What's going on?" Xiao Jun frowned immediately.

"Because you have a body that is a fusion of body and soul, you cannot practice immortal arts with this body. But once you practice martial arts with this body, you will have unparalleled speed." Princess Yuan explained.

"The unity of body and soul?" Xiao Jun shook his head, then activated the "Health Preservation Master", adjusting his Yuan Yang creation and changing his body's aura. "Take another look?"

"What's wrong?" Princess Yuan used her mind to look again, but found that Xiao Jun was no longer in a state of unity of body and soul.

"What's going on? Aren't you one with your body and soul now?"

"You mean the state of condensed essence, energy, and spirit, the unity of spirit and energy... That state is what I've comprehended through my understanding of the art of health preservation, a state of optimal well-being. I created 'The Art of Health Preservation,' which contains such a method."

"Does 'Health Preserving Master' have this effect?"

If the real "The Art of Preserving Health" was written down, it would probably fill up an entire room, because it is completely a diagram for observing the human body's life system. Xiao Jun's manuscript of "The Art of Preserving Health" only wrote down the key parts.

Xiao Jun then shared his insights into his own thoughts and the fluctuations of his body's qi and blood, and the level of "unity of body and soul" he had explored through various wisdoms. He then told Princess Yuan about his method of achieving "unity of body and soul."

Princess Yuan silently began to deduce in her mind the part of "The Master of Health Preservation" that Xiao Jun had described about regulating the soul and the body. The ghost immortal's thoughts were extremely fast and he soon deduced it.

"Your method is only useful now. As your martial arts skills improve and your body becomes stronger, it will become difficult to separate your spirit and body if you still maintain their unity." Princess Yuan concluded, "But this method you described, 'The Master of Health,' will be of great benefit to my martial arts."
