Wan Jian returns to his clan!

Chapter 8: Learn it in one go, master it in one practice.

"Back then, the Grandmaster Hunyuan passed on his teachings to three friends. Each of the three disciples founded their own sect, thus giving rise to the three sects of Ziyang, Mingyue, and Tianxing."

Our Heavenly Star Sect's founding patriarch, True Man Tianhe, innovated and, observing the celestial phenomena, created the Heavenly Star lineage, characterized by "The Sea of ​​Stars Transforms into a Heavenly Net, Heaven and Earth in a Palm," and this "Water Drop Force" is the foundation of the Heavenly Star lineage.

When it came to the sect's inheritance, Ouyang Zheng's expression became solemn, and his face was full of pride.

“My disciple, although you practice the family's Six Yang Divine Needles, specializing in healing and recovery, your physique is not solid and your foundation is not firm. But at least your vital energy is abundant, much stronger than that of ordinary youths, and you have barely reached the threshold for practicing the Dripping Water Force. Listen carefully…”

As Ouyang Zheng finished speaking, he saw Lu Wubing standing solemnly, listening attentively. While feeling somewhat satisfied, he also sighed slightly.

This newly accepted disciple, whom he had been forced to take on, impressed him greatly in terms of both his intellect and his attitude toward learning; he was like a fine piece of jade.

Unfortunately, the child is already sixteen years old; his bones and muscles are fully developed, and his meridians are blocked...

They failed to lay a solid foundation during the best time. Even if they now enter the Heavenly Star Sect, their future cultivation will inevitably be very limited.

It can only be said that life is full of disappointments.

However, considering that this trip to take on apprentices was ultimately just a transaction, he felt somewhat relieved.

Whether or not one can succeed is not important.

The important thing is to prevent this child from going astray...

If he couldn't find a master and, in a moment of despair, secretly went to practice that emotionless and ruthless [Primordial Spirit Sword Technique], that would be terrible.

'Yes, I just wanted to save a kind and innocent young man; whether he succeeds or not is unimportant.'

"This technique begins by practicing the Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian. Focus your mind on the Shaochong acupoint, open the spirit, and unblock the meridians... Exhale more and inhale less, like clouds floating and waves rising, continuous and subtle, without ceasing for a single breath. In this way, the stars shift and the moon disappears, repeating the cycle endlessly." Ouyang Zheng began to explain the breathing method of the [Water Drop Force] in detail.

Lu Wubing listened with a blank expression, completely unaware of what he was saying.

Master, are you sure this is imparting techniques and not reciting poetry?

Ouyang Lan watched from the side, chuckled softly, and couldn't help but point out: "The breathing method Father mentioned is nine shallow breaths followed by one deep breath, three pauses and four stops. Repeat this breathing pattern at this frequency."

That's how I understood.

Lu Wubing understood.

He knew about the Six Yang Divine Needle technique and breathing exercises, having practiced them in his previous life.

However, each martial art has a different method of practice.

First, the meridians circulated by focusing on different acupoints also differ. Second, different breathing frequencies elicit different Qi responses, resulting in vastly different attributes of the first wisp of internal Qi generated.

Secondly, the pathways of the meridians are also different.

The most important aspect of any martial arts practice is breathing, or in other words, the frequency of one's breath. This allows the acupoints to resonate, achieving a state of harmony between the body and the universe…

This is a secret technique passed down within the sect.

Without anyone to teach you, you can rack your brains and try a thousand times but still not figure out a unique skill.

More likely, one will damage their body's acupoints and sever their vital energy channels through excessive training.

Commonly known as going mad from qi deviation.

No wonder Ouyang Zheng instructed him to forget the Six Yang Divine Needles before imparting the mental techniques, and told him not to practice them in the future.

The two breathing methods will inevitably conflict, and the internal energy they produce will also have different properties. Since they coexist within the body, they may influence each other, leading to various health problems.

This time, Ouyang Zheng did not stop his daughter from interrupting, but continued to teach her on his own.

"Having grasped the methods of breathing frequency and opening acupoints, one should proceed from the surface to the core, transforming the abstract into the concrete, and forging the path to heaven..."

Lu Wubing had learned from experience this time.

He turned his head directly to look at Ouyang Lan.

The old man's teachings were so profound that even someone like me, a graduate of a top-tier university, couldn't understand them, once again proving the truth that learning is a lifelong pursuit.

"It means that breathing is just the surface, and it is necessary to go from the outside to the inside, to turn external breathing into internal breathing, to guide the qi with intention, and to vibrate the essence in the body. At the same time, imagine the meridians and acupoints as real channels, and connect them one by one."

Senior Sister Xiaolan is amazing.

He immediately saw through what Lu Wubing was confused about and explained it to him in plain language. That made it clear.

"It should be known that the teachings of one's master are concise yet profound, with endless charm. The best way to cultivate is to comprehend the subtle meanings... Some things can only be understood intuitively, not explained in words."

Ouyang Zheng shook his head impatiently, scolded Ouyang Lan, and then asked, "Do you really enjoy teaching martial arts and swordsmanship?"

"Yes, in the past, it was the senior brothers who taught me. This time, I finally have a junior brother, and I will definitely teach him well. He will learn better than the third senior brother, no, even better than the eldest senior brother."

Ouyang Lan exclaimed excitedly.

She truly enjoyed the admiring look in her junior brother's eyes.

Moreover, he praised my swordsmanship.

……

Ouyang Lan's teaching methods are completely different from those of the sect leader.

She led Lu Wubing to the back garden with great interest.

"Look at me, focus, can you feel it?"

Her big, bright eyes drew near, her breath sweet as orchids, gently brushing against my face like a warm breeze in March.

"fragrant."

Lu Wubing was an honest boy, and he didn't want to lie.

"What's so fragrant? I want you to feel the rhythm of your breath."

Ouyang Lan's ears turned red, she wrinkled her nose, bared her little tiger teeth, and said fiercely, "Be serious."

"Oh."

Lu Wubing composed himself, closed his eyes, and carefully sensed the surroundings.

I carefully imitated Ouyang Lan's breathing.

His breathing was very light, like clouds and mist, almost imperceptible... Gradually, his breathing also changed, changing in a way that completely contradicted the natural breathing pattern of the human body. The blood and qi in his body rippled slightly, and wisps of breath were stirred.

First, ripples appeared, then gradually rose into waves, transforming into a raging torrent that swept over the entire body.

"Stay calm, don't stop."

Ouyang Lan stopped demonstrating the breathing technique in surprise, turned her head to look at Lu Wubing, and praised him: "From sensing the Qi to gathering the Qi and opening the orifices, it is a difficult process. As long as you can learn the breathing rhythm, you can't be distracted at all."

The cultivation of internal strength cannot be achieved overnight; it requires long-term perseverance.

With daily practice for a period of time, I estimate that, given your aptitude, you should be able to grasp the basics in about ten days to two weeks. At that time, you will be able to open the first acupoint of the Hand Shaoyin meridian…”

At this point, Ouyang Lan suddenly stopped speaking, her eyes glazed over.

"puff!"

A soft sound came from Lu Wubing's body.

All she could see was the dust gently swirling around Lu Wubing's seat, and wisps of steam rising from his head.

Although the airflow appeared barely noticeable, the slight distortion of the air was still clearly visible.

'Is this the basics?'

'How long did it take me to overcome the hurdle of sensing and gathering Qi and break through to the first acupoint? It seemed to be seven days, or eight days...'

"My eldest brother is known as a cultivation prodigy, but according to my mother, it took him three days to barely grasp the basics."

'This must be fake!'

Ouyang Lan quietly watched the strange air current phenomenon above Lu Wubing's head, which became more and more obvious.

She knew that her junior brother had transformed all his vital essence and his meager Six Yang internal energy into Dripping Water Force. His internal energy cultivation had entered the right track and stabilized.
