Under One Person: My Inner Realm Connects to All Worlds!

Chapter 21 Eight Breathing Techniques
The sound was extremely grating, but Han Yun narrowed his eyes, changed his palm into a claw, his five fingers like hooks, and suddenly stepped forward, actually tearing a strand of fine sand out of the white sand barrier.

He immediately retreated, and at that moment, Tao Yang also completely dissipated the Qi energy from the palm strike that Han Yun had just unleashed.

Han Yun pinched the wisp of white sand in his hand, exerted his strength, and squeezed it tightly, making a rustling sound like a millstone.

Tao Yang immediately let out a muffled groan, and then the wisp of sand, like a swimming fish, desperately tried to escape from Han Yun's grasp. However, as Han Yun increased his strength, the struggle gradually weakened.

Han Yun's lips curled up slightly; he seemed to have understood the secret of the words scattered in the white sand.

Chemical!

Among the methods of extraordinary individuals, there is a technique that allows one to alter the form or properties of objects by feeding them innate Qi, thereby achieving a certain degree of enhancement.

This white sand is both offensive and defensive, and can be used with both strength and flexibility. It has completely deviated from its original attributes and is connected to the user's innate Qi. Han Yun could not think of any other method besides this one.

As for the white sand being a magical artifact, that's highly unlikely.

As everyone knows, weapon refiners are extremely valuable, and it is clear that Deyun Society does not yet have such resources.

Now that we've figured out the true nature of this thing, what's the next step?
Han Yun smiled slightly, released the wisp of white sand in his hand, and let it return to its original state.

Just as Tao Yang was puzzled, Han Yun made his move!

Tao frowned slightly, and the white sand in his sleeves transformed into white cloud dragons that coiled out. Han Yun suddenly accelerated and passed directly through the attack of the two white sand dragons, heading straight for Tao Yang.

Tao Yang was shocked and quickly changed his move. The remaining white sand swirled back like a tide, forming a barrier in front of him. At the same time, the two pythons twisted and turned, opened their mouths, and attacked from the left and right, like two dragons playing with a pearl, aiming straight for Han Yun.

Han Yun smiled meaningfully, his hands flying like butterflies, the Qi gathered at his fingertips transforming into fine needles, which he then used to tap the two white cloud pythons dozens of times.

"Ding Ding Ding-"

The crisp sound was like pearls falling onto a jade plate. Tao Yang's expression changed drastically. The white sand that had been hit scattered in mid-air like pieces of rags, and the originally smooth attack was instantly shattered.

Then, relying on his incredible speed, Han Yun struck out with his palm while Tao Yang was stunned. The Qi energy gathered in his palm pierced through the white sand barrier like a sharp arrow.

Tao Yang hastily retreated, but Han Yun caught up with him.

The scalpel was already in his hand, just an inch away from Tao Yang's neck.

"Concession."

Han Yun slowly sheathed his sword, clasped his hands in a fist and smiled.

Tao Yang staggered back several steps, his face slightly pale. After touching his neck and finding that he was alright, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This white sand seems to be good at both offense and defense, but it won't be enough if it encounters a tough opponent.

Tao Yang scratched his head and said with a simple smile, "Brother Han is amazing. I've been cultivating my White Sand since I was a child, and I've been training it for fifteen years. This is the first time someone has broken it like this."

Han Yun humbly replied, "It was just luck. Brother Tao's White Sand is unpredictable. If I hadn't used some tricks, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to defeat him within ten moves."

Master Guo nodded in satisfaction: "The first test is over. Now, it's time for the second test."

He gestured for everyone to leave, leaving only Han Yun in the courtyard.

Master Guo held up a finger to Han Yun and said, "Young friend, my first question is, if you learn the methods of my Deyun Society, how will you use them?"

The answer is simply whether to do good or evil. But Han Yun answered without hesitation: "When traveling the world, one should first make a living and secure one's livelihood. Only then can one help those in distress within one's own capabilities, as long as one is true to one's conscience."

A hint of approval flashed in Master Guo's eyes, because this was the true way of life. In the past, those who traveled the world to make a living, weren't they just trying to make a living?

No one is perfect, and nothing is flawless. It is impossible for a person to be entirely good or entirely evil, just like the yin and yang of Tai Chi.

If Han Yun were to try to fob him off with empty rhetoric, he would never pass on this method. This kind of answer would seem more genuine!
"The second question is, if one day you achieve great success and someone offers you a large sum of money to teach you the secret techniques of the Deyun Society, what will you do?"

Guo Degang's second question was quite interesting. He added "success and fame" to the premise of passing on the methods of Deyun Society.

The so-called "success and fame" must refer to Han Yun possessing great strength or a certain status, and people are often most proud at this time.

At that time, Han Yun might not even have taken Deyun Society's low-class tactics seriously, considering them insignificant.

Under this premise, if Han Yun can still make the right choice, it means that even if Han Yun achieves success, he will not forget the kindness of Deyun Society in spreading its teachings and will have at least some respect for Deyun Society.

This allows us to intuitively understand human nature.

Only people like this are worth befriending!
Han Yun said solemnly, "Gold is easy to obtain, but a legacy is hard to come by. Regardless of social status or wealth, not a single word will be passed on without Master Guo's permission."

"it is good!"

Master Guo suddenly clapped his hands in praise, his eyes showing even greater fondness for Han Yun.

At this moment, he suddenly threw out his third question: "One last question, if I asked you to kowtow and become my disciple now, and from then on you could not learn any other martial arts, would you be willing?"

The atmosphere in the room suddenly froze.

Han Yun smiled.

He straightened his clothes and bowed solemnly to Master Guo: "Senior, you are too kind, but please forgive me for not being able to comply."

Meeting Master Guo's gaze, Han Yun said frankly, "I know where my path lies. Since I have a goal in mind, I will walk it firmly."

You can understand it as a heart that yearns for the Way.

"Of course, it can also be interpreted as... human greed is insatiable, like a snake trying to swallow an elephant; perhaps I was too greedy!"

Surprisingly, Master Guo was not angry at all. Instead, he laughed heartily and said, "Wonderful! Just for this honesty, I'll teach you the skills of Deyun Society!"

Upon hearing this, Han Yun bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Master Guo."

Master Guo laughed heartily and patted Han Yun on the shoulder: "Come on, let's chat over tea!"

The two arrived at a main house, where Xiao Xiao had already prepared fragrant tea.

Master Guo personally poured tea and slowly said, "The foundation of Deyun Society's kung fu lies in the word 'breath.' As the saying goes, with one breath, there are countless variations. Whether it's speaking eloquently or exhaling with a powerful breath, it all originates from this."

"It was only through continuous refinement and improvement by generations of famous crosstalk performers that this eight-method breathing technique was finally developed!"

He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and continued, "The Eight Breathing Methods are divided into eight techniques: swallowing, spitting out, inhaling, swallowing, humming, hah, whistling, and chanting. These correspond to the eight meridians of the human body. When practiced to a high level, they can regulate Yin and Yang, open the body's circulation, strengthen the body internally, and manifest extraordinary abilities externally."

Han Yun listened intently, his eyes thoughtful.
