The Prodigal Disciple of Mount Hua: Seizing All Opportunities

That night, in the bedroom of the Fuwei Escort Agency.

Chen Qianyang was sitting cross-legged on the bed.

"With the five centers facing the sky and the breath sinking to the dantian... the mechanism of movement and stillness lies in yin and yang..."

This "Nine Yin Manual" is indeed profound and extensive.

Although the "Yi Jin Duan Gu Pian" is just a method of breathing exercises, it contains the supreme martial arts principles of Taoism.

Chen Qianyang held his breath and focused his mind, beginning to adjust his breathing according to the instructions in the scripture.

At first, he only felt that the Huashan True Qi that was usually circulating in his body was somewhat sluggish.

But as he repeatedly chanted the incantation, guiding the energy to impact the blocked acupoints, a strange feeling gradually arose.

It has a sense of uprightness and grandeur.

Unlike the ethereal quality of the Huashan Heart Sutra, and unlike the chilling coldness of the Frost True Qi.

This newborn vital energy is vast and all-encompassing.

Chen Qianyang only circulated the energy within his body for one cycle, and he felt that the true energy within his body had become slightly purer.

As expected of the "Nine Yin Manual"!

Chen Qianyang opened his eyes, his gaze gleaming.

Is this the power of top-tier martial arts?

Even if it's just the tip of the iceberg, it's enough to help him take another step forward on his martial arts journey.

Brother Guo is truly an honest person.

Chen Qianyang was filled with emotion.

If it were someone else, even a close relative, they probably wouldn't be willing to easily reveal such a unique skill to others.

This kindness is indeed as heavy as Mount Tai.

He suppressed his excitement, closed his eyes again, and prepared to strike while the iron was hot and circulate his energy for a few more cycles.

Night deepened.

Chen Qianyang's consciousness gradually blurred, and following the drowsiness, he drifted off to sleep.

Just as his breathing became long and even.

[The talent "Dreamy Immortal Wanderer" will trigger automatically...]

Deep in my mind, it was as if a light had been lit.

Chen Qianyang realized he was "awake".

But this was not waking up in reality, but in a vast, white void.

There is no sky, no earth, only endless white light.

In the center of that white light sat a tiny figure that looked exactly like him.

The little man was cultivating tirelessly.

They then practiced the "Nine Swords of Dugu," their swords flashing and each move aimed directly at vital points.

He sat cross-legged and practiced breathing exercises, his body enveloped in a purple aura—the newly learned Nine Yin Manual.

A moment later, his palms flew up and down, the wind from his palms chilling, as he practiced the "Frosty Corpse Poison Palm" he had obtained from Qi Wuyai.

Chen Qianyang watched all of this calmly.

He was conscious.

He felt like an observer.

He can give that little man instructions, telling him which martial art he should focus on practicing.

"This is... the Illusory Dream of Immortals?"

Chen Qianyang was overjoyed.

This was the reward he received for altering the timeline during the fire in Xiangyang Lane.

This reward is unbelievably incredible!

This means that even while he was sleeping, his subconscious was still engaged in spiritual practice.

An ordinary person can only spend a maximum of six hours a day practicing martial arts.

And he, every single moment of the day, is constantly getting stronger!

Moreover, he had gained a great deal from his journey up Mount Hua, but he had been struggling to find the time to master and integrate it all.

Having this Illusory Dream Immortal will obviously be of great benefit to his integration of various martial arts styles.

Even if the efficiency of cultivating in dreams is less than 30% of that when you are awake, it is still a terrifying number when accumulated over time!

Chen Qianyang's heart stirred, and the little figure in the void had already begun practicing the Five Mountains Sword Technique he had obtained from the Cliff of Reflection.

In this endless dream, time seems to lose its meaning.

Chen Qianyang is like a tireless machine, filling in the gaps in his foundation.

……

The morning light shone through the window paper onto Chen Qianyang's face.

He slowly opened his eyes.

There was no sign of fatigue from staying up all night.

On the contrary, he felt refreshed and invigorated.

"Is this what they call 'chosen working people'? They even dream about working and leveling up. They're destined to be slaves for life."

Although he complained, he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.

In this perilous world, having this "Fantasy Dreamland" gives me a bit more confidence.

A thought struck him.

A pale golden light curtain slowly unfolded before his eyes.

【Chen Qianyang, a disciple of Mount Hua】

[Combat Strength: Outstanding (High)]

[Talent: Sword Mind Clear, Swift as the Wind, Meticulous Dedication (Sword Skill Proficiency 12%), Dreamlike Immortal Wanderer]

[Equipment: Yin-Yang Mystic Pendant]

[Skill: Crimson Face Transformation]

[Internal Skills: Huashan Inner Strength Method (Mastery), Nine Yin Manual: Tendon-Changing and Bone-Forging Chapter (Beginner), Cold Ice True Qi (Initial Understanding)]

External Skills: Dugu Nine Swords (Fragmented) 4/4, Huashan Swordplay (Mastery), Gale Swift Sword (Proficient), Frosty Corpse Poison Palm (Beginner)...

Looking at the rows of fluctuating data, especially the addition of "Yi Jin Duan Gu" to the internal skills section, and the change in combat power rating from "beginner" to "high," Chen Qianyang breathed a long sigh of relief.

I've gained quite a lot from this trip to Fuzhou.

After this, it's time for Zuo Lengchan of Hengshan to settle old scores...

"Knock knock knock".

Just then, there was a soft knock on the door.

"Junior brother, are you awake?"

It was Yue Lingshan's voice.

"You're awake, Senior Sister, please come in."

As soon as Chen Qianyang finished speaking, a pretty figure walked in from outside.

Yue Lingshan specially changed into a light pink silk dress today, with a bright green ribbon tied around her waist, which made her waist look even more slender.

She was carrying an exquisite food box, and a hint of shyness lingered on her face.

She tiptoed into the room and closed the door behind her, as if afraid of disturbing something.

"Senior Sister, you're up so early, is there something important?" Chen Qianyang greeted her.

Yue Lingshan felt a little embarrassed by his gaze and said softly, "It's nothing important, it's just... it's just that the kitchen just made some glutinous rice chicken and red date porridge. I thought you must be hungry since you didn't have dinner last night, so I brought some over for you."

As the lid was lifted, an enticing aroma filled the room.

Chen Qianyang felt a warmth in his heart.

No matter how much Yue Buqun schemed, at least the girl in front of him was sincere towards him.

"Thank you, senior sister. I am indeed a little hungry."

He didn't rush to eat, but instead reached out and took Yue Lingshan's hand, asking her to sit down next to him.

"Senior sister, I've been busy dealing with the escort agency's affairs these past few days and have neglected you."

"It's...it's alright." She looked up, her eyes full of affection. "I know you did it for the right thing, for the Lin family, and for...for Father's reputation."

When the word "father" was mentioned, Yue Lingshan frowned slightly, as if she had something on her mind.

"What's wrong? Did Master say something?"

Yue Lingshan hesitated for a moment: "Junior brother, actually... actually, Father came to see me yesterday."

"Oh? What did Master say?"

"Father..." Yue Lingshan said, feeling a little aggrieved, "These past few days, although he has been praising you in public, saying that you are the pride of Huashan and the best of the younger generation. But... but yesterday, he reprimanded me very severely in private."

"Scolding you?"

"Hmm." Yue Lingshan's eyes were slightly red. "He told me to stay away from you in the future and have less contact with you. He also said... he also said that you are scheming and extreme in your actions, and not a good match for me, and that I shouldn't get involved."

Chen Qianyang sneered inwardly upon hearing this.

On one hand, Yue Buqun, that old fox, wanted to use himself to deal with the Songshan Sect and to compete for the position of leader of the Five Mountains Alliance.

On the other hand, she was also afraid of hurting her precious daughter.

This plan is cleverly designed to benefit both sides.

However, from this perspective, Yue Buqun was not entirely devoid of conscience; at least he still had some genuine love for his daughter.
