Mang Shusheng's Ink Painting Practice

Chapter 62: Frosty Footsteps

In the Dharma Cave, Zhao Yifu once again faced a choice.

Unlike the last time when he was in a hurry, he seemed much calmer this time.

Because last time he had to rely on his half-baked spiritual eyes to search for scriptures here, but now he can maintain his spiritual eyes for a long time.

However, he did not wander around aimlessly. He obediently stopped at the second row of bookshelves to look for a suitable leg technique.

There are actually not many martial arts included in this cave for teaching, and even fewer leg skills.

This made it very easy for him to select the best one: it involved the cultivation of all three Yin-Yang meridians in the legs, and could be related to the magic system he was currently practicing...

So he chose a special leg skill called "Frosty Steps to the Sky".

This is not just a body movement technique, it even contains a method of circulating qi, making it a truly unique skill!

If it were put on the market, it could even become the core inheritance of a local power like Shenhe Villa.

Of course, according to Zhao Yifu's understanding, this thing is actually not a good thing in the Danqing Sect.

This is because the real secret skills can cultivate the meridians of the whole body, but this "Frosty Steps to the Sky" only involves the six meridians of the legs.

But no matter what, this is enough for Zhao Yifu.

He recited the technique silently and memorized it firmly.

Then he went to the bookshelf where the secret art of communication was stored. His principle in this regard was more relaxed, that is, he only sought convenience and speed.

The more convenient and faster it is, the more likely it is to have distance limitations, and there may be problems with certain information not being delivered.

But Zhao Yifu felt that he was right at the foot of Moshan Mountain, so even if he was sending a message to Moshan from Moyang City, it didn't matter if it was a little simple, right?

So he chose a secret communication technique called "Origami Flying Book".

The principle is to use secret techniques to send paper carrying information far away until it reaches the hands of those who need it.

This is a relatively simple secret communication technique. When Zhao Yifu memorized it, he had already figured out the principles and knew how to practice it.

After choosing these two secret techniques, he turned around and walked out without any pause.

For him, he has already got what he wanted, so there is no point in looking any further.

This will also leave Shi Ling with the impression that she is obedient and well-behaved, and maybe she will get some preferential treatment next time, which would be perfect.

He quickly came to the door, looked around and was disappointed to find that Liang Zhongzhi had already left... Really, he had been rushing to come, why couldn't he wait for a while?

The stone spirit appeared behind him and said, "Your master Zhengfang has left. He told you to go down the mountain on your own after you finish your work."

Zhao Yifu didn't doubt what he said and bowed deeply again: "Yes, then I will take my leave. Take care, Senior Shi Ling."

Shi Ling nodded, and the originally straight lip line on her cold face slightly curled up 5 degrees, but she didn't say much.

Zhao Yi Fu then left the cave, looked at everything on the mountain, and then went down the mountain with a heavy heart.

The reason why he was so worried was naturally because he had just learned two new skills and secret techniques that he needed to study carefully.

The "Origami Flying Book" was not difficult. Zhao Yifu mastered it thoroughly in just a quarter of an hour. He even tried to fold a thousand paper cranes with white paper, and then used his true energy to throw them towards home.

Watching the thousand paper cranes floating farther and farther in the air and disappearing from sight in an instant, Zhao Yifu nodded with satisfaction.

When I get home, I will ask my loyal servant when the thousand paper cranes will arrive home, and then I will be able to calculate the communication speed of this "Origami Flying Book".

Then he began to think about the leg skill called "Frosty Steps to the Sky".

The reason why he values ​​this leg skill is actually because it is a skill that involves the use of water spirit energy.

It involves all the yin and yang meridians in the legs, but uses the method of old yang giving birth to young yin to make the yang meridian the 'engine' of the yin meridian, and then uses the yin meridian to stimulate the generation of cold air and slightly manipulate the water-based spiritual energy to turn it into frosty energy.

This frosty energy is an attack attribute that is difficult for Zhao Yifu to reach at this stage, and it seems that its difficulty in mastering it is...

Zhao Yifu found it easy because he found that the most complicated part of this technique was the Qi flow of the old Yang giving birth to the young Yin, which was not difficult at all with his current Yuan Shen strength.

What really determines the power of this technique is the practitioner's ability to control water!

But this technique doesn't involve much in this aspect...

Zhao Yifu thought to himself, what a great thing! This was tailor-made for him.

His ability to control water is pretty good now, so shouldn't he be able to get started quickly?

Thinking of this, his steps unconsciously imitated the external martial arts steps of 'Frosty Steps on the Sky'.

At first I couldn't adapt well and walked stumblingly.

But then he soon found his way, and his speed increased unintentionally, giving him a faint feeling of moving at lightning speed.

At the same time, the meridians in the legs twitched slightly, and the meridians that had been continuously infused with yang and spiritual energy in recent days felt like they were about to open.

However, "Frosty Footsteps on the Sky" only contains the Qi-moving method of transforming Yang into Yin, but does not mention how to practice the leg meridians specifically.

From this perspective, "Frosty Footsteps on the Sky" is actually more of a skill of using true energy rather than a fundamental method.

This did not pose any difficulty for Zhao Yifu. Just by looking at the application of "Frosty Walks on the Sky", he knew that although this technique seemed to cultivate coldness, in fact, what really needed to be stabilized were the three yang meridians.

Why?

Only when the foundation of the three yang meridians is laid firmly, can we rely on it and not be afraid of the demands of the three yin meridians.

Otherwise, the three yangs will be weakened and the cold will backfire in an instant.

Zhao Yifu did not hesitate to draw out his own true energy from his Dantian at this moment, and then injected it all into the Sanyang Meridians while performing the "Frosty Steps to the Sky" footsteps.

In fact, these three yang foot meridians have been in a semi-open state under the nourishment of yang and spiritual energy for a long time, and it seems that they are just one step away from being opened.

He has even almost opened up the Foot Shaoyang Meridian.

In this way, you can simply inject true Qi into the Foot Shaoyang Meridian to completely open it up, and then the true Qi will turn to the Foot Yangming Meridian to open up this meridian with the most Yang Qi in the whole body.

The 'Shao' in Shaoyang means 'lack' or 'leak'. Now that the true qi has penetrated it, it is equivalent to plugging the gap or leak.

A warm true qi rushes into the Foot Yangming Meridian, grows stronger and gradually becomes hot in this meridian with more yang and less yin, and then enters the Foot Taiyang Meridian.

The sun is the yang among yangs, but the extreme yang gives birth to yin, and thus becomes the old yang.

Therefore, the next step is the process of old yang giving birth to young yin.

Zhao Yifu paused for a moment. He wanted to take a rest and prepare for a breakthrough in a few days.

However, he did not expect that opening up the three Yang meridians in succession would actually change the balance of the true Qi in his body, causing the Yang properties of his body to be contaminated by the true Qi, and making the originally calm and smooth true Qi become agitated.

Therefore, Taoist Qi is all about balance, and this unbalanced state always feels a little bad.

Zhao Yifu hesitated slightly, then quickly let his true energy flow into the foot Shaoyin meridian and began to practice.

Shaoyin is the yin among the yang, and when the true qi enters this meridian, the dryness of the yang is immediately reduced and the coldness of the yin is increased.

Zhao Yifu also felt much more comfortable because of this.

Only then did he stop and did not continue to break through.

The remaining three meridians, the Yinque Meridian of the Foot, which has more yin than yang, and the Taiyin Meridian of the Foot, which is the yin among yins, have not yet been broken through, but Zhao Yifu feels that for now, it should be enough.

At least the current yin and yang balance in his body was maintained again, and the light work part of "Frosty Steps on the Sky" was actually fully effective.

It would be better to cultivate the remaining two meridians alone. It would be too conspicuous if someone saw you outside the city.

Moreover, this round of his dynamic exercise practice actually consumed quite a lot of energy. He had opened up four meridians in his feet in succession, so he needed to cultivate and accumulate energy.
