Reborn in 1970, I thrived in Hong Kong.

After parting ways with Zhuyouzai, Li Huai-ren took a taxi home.

When he passed by Chen's Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic, he remembered that he had arranged to adjust the prescription with the old Taoist priest Zhang Quanyi, so he got out of the car directly in front of Chen's Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic.

Inside Chen's Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic, a man in his early forties was trying to persuade Master Zhang Quanyi:

"Uncle Master, I just received a message from Master through someone, saying that many secret manuals on Longhu Mountain were found by them and burned."

Master told you not to go back to Longhu Mountain yet, but to stay here with me temporarily, and we'll talk about it again in a few years.

He also said, "You know yourself when you can return to Longhu Mountain."

Master Zhang Quanyi listened without saying anything, then stretched out his right hand, counted on his fingers, sighed, and said slowly:

"Alas, the earliest I can go back is eight years from now, in the winter of the year of Wuwu."

Moreover, this matter depends on the person who appears soon; only with his help can the trip be made possible, and only then can Longhu Mountain prosper again.

"Well, since I'll be staying here for eight years, I might as well teach him some martial arts and health preservation methods, and form a good relationship with him."

He had barely finished speaking when the courtyard gate was pushed open, and Li Huai-ren walked in from outside, greeting the two men:

"Good afternoon, Master Zhang and Doctor Chen!"

Dr. Chen immediately looked up at Zhang Quanyi, who nodded slightly.

"Hmm, not bad, your energy has finally been fully replenished. Remember, you must not have sex for three years, and you must come here every day at the hour of Mao (5-7 AM). I will teach you some martial arts routines and health preservation methods to strengthen your body."

After three years of this process, you may have intercourse with a woman; otherwise, not only will all your previous efforts be in vain, but you will soon revert to your old ways...

Zhang Quanyi took Li Huai Ren's pulse, changed the prescription, and said to him while picking up the medicine.

Li Huai-ren didn't think much of it. Ever since he drank the medicine prescribed by the old Taoist priest Zhang Quan-yi and practiced the movements and breathing methods he taught, his body not only recovered its vitality quickly, but his strength and weight also increased.

At this time, Li Huai-ren listened to Zhang Quan-yi's words without question, and it would be great to have a companion to do morning exercises with him every day, so he readily agreed.

"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Master Zhang. Thank you!"

As soon as Li Huai-ren left, Doctor Chen immediately asked the old Taoist priest Zhang Quan-yi, puzzled:

"Master Uncle, since you intend to teach him martial arts and health preservation methods, why don't you just accept him as your disciple?"

The old Taoist priest Zhang Quanyi waved his hand and said:

"Have you forgotten the teachings of my Taoist patriarch?"

We Taoist disciples have always followed our patriarch's instruction: "In times of chaos, descend the mountain to kill foreign enemies; in times of prosperity, close the mountain and cultivate diligently."

Starting more than twenty years ago, it can be said that a golden age has begun.

From that time onward, all true disciples of various Taoist sects returned to the mountains to cultivate diligently, leaving only ordinary disciples, Taoist medical disciples, and lay disciples from the outer sect to cultivate in the world.

My senior uncle missed his return to the mountain because he was chasing after the Nine Chrysanthemums sect, who were using infants to refine rejuvenating ointments in the Hunan and Jiangxi areas.

After I chased them overseas and killed all eighteen of the Nine Chrysanthemums' faction leaders, a major event happened on the mainland, forcing me to stay in Hong Kong.

He looked up at Dr. Chen, shook his head, sighed, and said:

"Nephew Chen, I am a true disciple of Longhu Mountain. According to the rules, the disciples I take in must also be true disciples of Longhu Mountain."

Li Huai-ren is a man of great fortune; he may one day become as wealthy as a nation.

However, my Taoist school is different from the foreign Buddhist school. What we seek is the Great Way of Heaven and Earth, and we have always regarded those material things as dirt.

Li Huai-ren would never abandon the mundane world to follow me into the mountains for ascetic practice.

Therefore, it is sufficient to establish a good relationship with him; there is no need to bind him with the identity of a true disciple of Longhu Mountain.

It should be understood that if he were not bound by the status of a true disciple of Longhu Mountain, his actions would be unrestricted, neither by Longhu Mountain nor by other Taoist sects…”

He glanced at Doctor Chen and said slowly:

"Most importantly, he was no longer a virgin at a young age, so he was not the right person to learn the spells I was best at."

Nephew Chen, for the next eight years, besides teaching some martial arts and health preservation methods to that kid Li Huai Ren, I also compiled all the talismans I had learned in my life into a book.

Here's what we'll do: find a few of your Chen-style Tai Chi disciples who have settled in Hong Kong to come and follow me. I will choose one of them who can inherit my mantle as my personal disciple, and he will come back to Longhu Mountain with me in eight years.

In exchange, how about you teach Chen-style Tai Chi to Li Huai-ren?

After speaking, he glanced at Dr. Chen, who seemed to be hesitating, gently patted his shoulder, and gave him a few words of advice:

"Chen-style Tai Chi Chuan already has many disciples and its techniques are widely spread, but the quality varies greatly. What does it matter if it is passed on to Li Huai-ren alone?"

Don't forget what I just said: first establish a good relationship with him. If you're going to teach him, don't be stingy; teach him authentic Chen-style Tai Chi directly, understand?

Dr. Chen was taken aback for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening.

He was very tempted by Zhang Quanyi's proposal, especially since Zhang Quanyi would choose one person to be his true disciple eight years later and follow him up the mountain to cultivate.

He was hesitating not about whether or not to teach Li Huai-ren Chen-style Tai Chi, but about whether or not to arrange for his own niece, Chen Yu-lian (Lian), to come here to learn talismans from Zhang Quan-yi.

My niece is only 10 years old this year. Her brother's family of seven lives in a house of about 400 square feet in Tiu Keng Leng. Their financial situation is quite tight. I brought her to live with me so that it would be more convenient for her to go to school in the future.

Remembering his senior apprentice, the diviner of Longhu Mountain, who repeatedly emphasized the need to establish a good relationship with Li Huai-ren, and recalling his niece's natural beauty, a thought struck him:

"Perhaps we can let Yulian stay here and get to know Li Huai Ren first. If the two are destined to be together, that would be the best outcome."

If the two are not destined to be together, then it would be wonderful if Yu Lian could return to Longhu Mountain with her master eight years later.

Even if all else fails, by then Yulian and Li Huai-ren will have known each other for eight years, and she can get a job at Li Huai-ren's Phoenix Daily, then she will be set for life...

Thinking of this, he immediately nodded and agreed:

"Uncle-Master, no problem, it's settled then. I'll call my second brother's youngest daughter and two cousins ​​over so they can learn your skills from you."

"I will teach Li Huai-ren authentic Chen-style Tai Chi without reservation. However, a master can only guide you in; the rest is up to you. How much he learns depends entirely on his own efforts."

That was the end of it.

That evening, Dr. Chen brought his young niece, Chen Yulian, and two eight- or nine-year-old cousins ​​back from Tiu Keng Leng.

Silent all night.

The next morning, Li Huai-ren got up very early, dressed in sportswear, and appeared at the entrance of Chen's Medical Clinic at five o'clock sharp, knocking on the door.

After a while, the courtyard gate was pushed open a crack from the inside, and a head peeked out, sized up Li Huai-ren, and said in a soft voice:

"Are you the Li Huai-ren that Master mentioned? Come in, Master is already up."

Li Huai-ren glanced at her and immediately froze:

"I'm so angry! Isn't this Chow Yun-fat's favorite, the Little Dragon Girl that Andy Lau couldn't win over?"

My Qi Gulong Dongxiang, at such a young age, is already so pure-looking, it's simply irresistible!
