The Condor Heroes: The Quanzhen Sect has produced a vengeful master!

After Wang Jiuling left, Yang Guo sat alone in front of the door for a long time, until the sun rose high in the sky, at which point he suddenly stood up.

He had agreed not to fetch water today, but instead he grabbed two buckets and ran straight down the mountain.

On a distant mountain peak, Wang Jiuling, witnessing this scene, finally smiled and uttered:

"He's still just a little kid!"

...

Yang Guo poured the water from the bucket into the water vat twice, but then he had to stop.

Although he tried his best to fetch water before, it was entirely out of spite, and he never thought about making any progress.

Now that his mind is clear, he has started to have ideas.

"Is there some trick to fetching water?"

He picked up the wooden bucket to examine it and discovered for the first time that there was something wrong with the shape of the bucket and the handle.

He recalled that every time he carried water up the mountain, he would spill a lot of water from the bucket.

The reason is that this bucket is hard to grab, and it tends to sway from side to side when you carry it while running.

"If we could prevent the bucket from shaking, we wouldn't waste so much water."

Yang Guo began to try.

At first, he simply slowed down, but he eventually found that although the water stopped spilling, his speed had slowed down considerably.

On the first day, Yang Guo was exhausted because of all the attempts he made, and the water in the vat wasn't even half full.

But Yang Guo was competitive, and the next day, after finishing his morning lessons, he immediately ran back to fetch water.

Believe it or not, they actually found some solutions for him.

Yang Guo discovered that the steps on this mountain path were all designed with a purpose; if you stepped on them randomly, your body would easily sway from side to side.

However, if you pay attention to your foot placement at certain points, you won't sway too much due to excessive speed.

Yang Guo was overjoyed with this discovery.

Finally, on the evening of the third day.

Wang Jiuling went to Yang Guo's residence to check the water vat and found that the water inside was more than half full.

This is a huge step forward.

More importantly, this shows that Yang Guo's goal in fetching water has changed.

"Very good! It seems you've found the knack!"

When Wang Jiuling praised Yang Guo for the first time, Yang Guo was a little embarrassed.

A month has passed quietly.

On this day, at Wang Jiuling's residence beneath Chongyang Palace.

"I did it! The water tank is full!"

Yang Guo came to find Wang Jiuling in high spirits.

It was just past noon, and Yang Guo had clearly found the trick, succeeding on his own.

Wang Jiuling came out and saw Yang Guo's happy expression, which made him feel gratified.

Yang Guo is a guy with exceptional talent. If he really believes in a principle and decides to do something, he'll be very talented.

"Great! Very good!"

Wang Jiuling was generous with his praise, but Yang Guo, still being a free spirit, wanted to take Wang Jiuling to see it.

Wang Jiuling shook his head.

"No need to look, I trust you won't lie to me!"

A hint of emotion flashed in Yang Guo's eyes. Although Wang Jiuling was usually very strict and a man of his word, Yang Guo was perceptive and could sense that Wang Jiuling truly trusted him.

Before Yang Guo could say anything, Wang Jiuling gestured for him to come inside.

"I told you, I'll teach you something new as long as you can fill the water tank!"

"So from today onwards, I will teach you the foundation-building techniques of the Quanzhen School."

Yang Guo had been waiting for this for a long time, and now that he had finally heard what he wanted, he was extremely excited.

As Wang Jiuling had requested, he sat cross-legged on a futon, while Wang Jiuling sat opposite him.

"This Foundation Building Technique is the basic technique of my Quanzhen Sect. Although it is basic, it is indispensable for anyone who wants to cultivate Quanzhen internal energy."

"It's called 'The Song of the Great Way'."

"You're just starting out, so let's begin with the first part: guided exercises!"

Listen carefully.

"When the Great Dao is first cultivated, the nine orifices are opened, and the nine orifices are originally located in the coccyx."

First, irrigate from the soles of your feet (Yongquan point), then gradually move down to your knees.

..."

Wang Jiuling read this passage to Yang Guo. Yang Guo was truly gifted; although he didn't quite understand it, he memorized it after just one reading.

"What... what does this mean?"

Yang Guo found the mental cultivation method difficult to pronounce, and Wang Jiuling smiled and pointed to his hands.

"How did you fill it with water?"

At this point, Yang Lai became interested and began to gesticulate wildly as he told Wang Jiuling:

"Naturally, I discovered that the stone steps had a pattern. At each crucial point, I had to change my power application technique, and the flow of my qi also changed!"

Wang Jiuling nodded.

"When you try to fetch water, incorporate this mantra!"

"Go ahead, starting tomorrow, you still need to fetch water every day!"

"Also, starting tomorrow, in addition to morning lessons, you'll be practicing the most basic fist and foot techniques every morning with your Uncle Zhifang's fellow disciples!"

Yang Guo was thus seen off by Wang Jiuling.

"Sigh! I wanted to rest for two more days!" Yang Guo sighed as he stepped out the door.

That evening, Yang Guo finally got to eat a proper dinner.

The way he wolfed down his food made the other disciples laugh.

The next day, Yang Guo went to fetch water after finishing his training.

When he was running on the mountain road and couldn't help but recite the incantation of the Great Way Song, he finally understood the importance of fetching water.

The reason he was able to complete the task easily over the past month was that he had figured out a method for channeling internal energy.

Now, by combining footwork, breathing, and the flow of Qi with this Great Song, the effects are immediate.

His breathing became more even, and each step he took no longer required all his strength.

With each breath, he felt an inexhaustible supply of energy.

"So this simple act of drawing water is actually so profound? If I hadn't learned how to draw water, I would definitely only have a superficial understanding of this Great Dao Song!"

Yang Guo couldn't help but feel moved, and his trust in Wang Jiuling grew even stronger.

"He's actually a very nice person! I thought all those Taoist priests from the Quanzhen Sect were so despicable!"

...

Time flies, and another month has passed. At the mountain gate.

Wang Jiuling and Yang Guo each led a fast horse and headed down the mountain.

"Master! Is it really alright for just the two of us to exorcise the demon?"

Yang Guo scratched his head, looking very worried.

In the past two weeks, he has been practicing the Great Dao Song Mind Method and has also been diligently working on fetching water, so his progress has been rapid.

We've now learned the second lesson.

Although I haven't formally learned the Quanzhen Sword Technique yet, my fist and foot skills have already improved a lot.

Apart from having better basic physical conditions than Wang Jiuling back then, the process was almost the same as Wang Jiuling's back then.

Today, I was suddenly summoned by Wang Jiuling. It turned out that a group of bandits had appeared in the small town at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain at some point, committing murder, arson, rape, kidnapping, and all sorts of evil deeds.

It's been several months, but the government still can't control it.

Many people jointly petitioned the Quanzhen School to exorcise the demon.

After discussing the matter, the Seven Masters of Quanzhen decided to send someone down the mountain to handle it.

Fearing to alert the bandits, they sent Wang Jiuling, an absolute master. There were few of them, but he was very strong and rarely came down from the mountain, so he was a newcomer.

Wang Jiuling turned to look at the boy beside him, a faint smile on his face.

Previously, Yang Guo refused to call Wang Jiuling "Master," but after Wang Jiuling protected him and taught him martial arts, the boy became grateful and repaid the favor.

A few days ago, while eating in the cafeteria, I got into an argument with two fourth-generation disciples of Zhen Zhibing because they were debating which of their masters was more powerful.

Yang Guo insisted that his master, Wang Jiuling, was the most powerful among the three generations, and argued with his two disciples until they were red in the face.

From that day on, he changed his address and began to call Wang Jiuling "Master".

Wang Jiuling pretended not to notice.

The two had a great understanding.

"What's there to be afraid of? With your master here, a few bandits are nothing."

"Besides, martial arts training is not just about showing off. You must seize any opportunity for real combat. If you have the chance this time, I will test your skills."
