Gao Wu: Starting with playing the Flying Bat Ke Zhen'e

After Tang Luo left, Wang Yuande stared at the spot where Tang Luo had gone for a long time before murmuring, "Can you tell what kind of steps he used?"

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door: "Never seen it before, but its rank is not low, and its speed even exceeds that of a typical 'Perfect Body Tempering'."

"What about his figure? Are you familiar with it?"

"Unfamiliar; it seems like they've been deliberately disguised."

Seeing this, Wang Yuande could only shake his head, then turned to look at Wang Shuwen, his eyes filled with undisguised disappointment.

Wang Shuwen lowered his head, holding his severed arm with one hand; the bleeding on the other side had stopped.

"You hate me?" Wang Yuande raised his hand, lifted Wang Shuwen's chin, and raised Wang Shuwen's head, revealing the venom in Wang Shuwen's eyes to Wang Yuande.

Their eyes met, but after only a moment, Wang Shuwen lowered his head, not daring to look his father in the eye.

"say."

Wang Yuande said calmly, but Wang Shuwen lowered his head even further upon hearing this.

"I told you to speak!!!"

Wang Yuande suddenly roared and slapped Wang Shuwen across the face, turning Wang Shuwen's already swollen face into a pig's head.

As Wang Yuande roared in anger, the steward on the side left on his own, closing the door behind him and leaving the father and son alone.

After a long pause, Wang Shuwen finally whispered, "I wouldn't dare."

"You don't dare? What don't you dare to do?"

"You dared to bully men and women, you dared to indulge in lavish entertainment, you dared to spend money like water, you dared to whip servants and torture women, you dared to squander wealth—but now you don't dare?"

Wang Shuwen lowered his head, hesitant to speak.

Wang Yuande turned around and looked at the huge painting of Prince Duan hanging in the main hall.

"I originally planned to leave in six months. I thought that with the savings I left behind, even if I squandered them recklessly, it would still take me a year and a half to squander them."

I didn't expect that I still underestimated you.

In just three months, you managed to accomplish this.

You hate me for losing an arm, but do you know that if I hadn't come back, you would have died?!

Wang Yuande turned around and looked at Wang Shuwen, whose eyes were gradually becoming clearer. His disappointment deepened.

"Bullying men and women is not a problem, being cruel and bloodthirsty is not a problem either. I have seen many people who are more domineering and cruel than you. To say nothing of the distant past, just take the second son of the Duan Prince's Mansion. Over the years, he has killed hundreds or even thousands of women."

It's much more than you want.

With your meager skills, you're not even fit to carry someone's shoes.

But why is he completely unharmed, and even a strong contender for the throne of Prince Duan, while you are in such a precarious position?

As Wang Yuande spoke, he looked at his son's bewildered eyes and sighed again.

"Because you have no brains."

They either kill slaves or exterminate entire families to prevent future troubles.

No matter how cruel or domineering, it doesn't matter. Just clean up the mess and eliminate the threat completely, and nothing will happen.

If you're going to do something, do it thoroughly.

Do you know that the second maid you killed, Xiaoqing, had a lover who is now your personal bodyguard?

The Luo Yan you tortured to death, her father has already made it to the woodshed and started cooking for you.

"If I had come back two days later, you would have either been killed by that guard or poisoned by that old man Luo."

Upon hearing this, Wang Shuwen looked bewildered; he truly knew nothing about these things.

During his time in power, he knew best which courtesan in the Spring Breeze Pavilion was the best at oral sex and which was the best at manual sex.

Who wants to kill him? Who dares to kill him?

I know nothing about it.

Wang Yuande didn't even need to ask; just by looking at his son's expression, he knew that his son knew nothing.

He sighed again; he had lost count of how many times he had sighed.

"The path of cultivation lies in self-discipline. Even someone like your father, who is of extremely poor talent and missed the best time for cultivation, has entered the realm of enlightenment after ten years of self-cultivation."

What about you? You've been taking medicine constantly since childhood, maintaining your health for over a decade, almost becoming a "medicine person," yet you still haven't reached the point of enlightenment. Tell me, what use is this claw to you?

Since you don't cultivate, your intact body is useless.

After speaking, he pondered for a long time. Only after Wang Shuwen had left did he sigh again: "Old Wang, invite Master Su from the 'Qige' tomorrow and have him make a new arm for the Third Young Master. The price is negotiable."

"From now on, keep a close eye on him and don't let him get involved in the business of the manor. If he wants money, he can only come to me personally, and I will only give it to him if he approves it!"

After Wang Shuwen left, a long time later, faint sounds could be heard from inside the room again.

"Has the investigation been completed? Who exactly was that 'righteous' person during the day?"

"No, we've checked the other streets and markets as well, and there's no news about this person there."

They are most likely from outside Dongling City.

"If he continues to act like this tomorrow... no, the day after tomorrow, please send him an invitation for me. I'll try to see if I can invite him to 'that matter'."

"Yes, sir."

At this point, the vast mansion fell completely silent, drifting into sleep along with the moonlight.

At this moment, Tang Luo, who was lying on the woodshed about twenty feet away from the main hall, finally showed a satisfied smile, and slowly left with the book in his hand.

He had fallen into a habitual way of thinking, which is why he crouched so close to eavesdrop. In fact, with Ke Zhen'e's hearing, he could have been eavesdropping from a much farther place.

After that, he certainly wouldn't really leave; he would have to listen to the very end, and might even reveal some information about himself.

Indeed, it is true; I never expected that [Ke Zhen'e] would receive attention so early.

Ultimately, things like "fighting for justice" are just too attention-grabbing.

Tang Luo sighed softly, and with a flash, he flipped into his room.

........................

........................

In the dimly lit room, Tang Luo began to study the thick book in his hands word by word by the light of the candle, the hissing sound of turning pages never ceasing throughout the night.

As Tang Luo turned the pages of the massive tome one by one, he began to have some realizations.

In fact, the actual methods of cultivation are few and far between in this large book, accounting for less than one-tenth of the content. Most of it consists of long passages of annotations.

The methods of cultivation are profound and subtle, often with seven or eight annotations for a single passage. Looking at the notes, they are from different people, and it is through these annotations that Tang Luo gradually came to understand the cultivation system of this world.

The book describes the first stage of cultivation as "opening the apertures," which, as the name suggests, means opening the acupoints in the body.

The human body is full of mysteries and possesses incredible power, yet mortals cannot control even a fraction of it.

The power lies dormant within the 108 acupoints of the body. Therefore, the first step in cultivation is to open the acupoints and awaken the power within them.

"Enlightenment" is the first stage after entering the path of cultivation. Before cultivation, there is another step called "Nourishing the Body".

Its name and meaning are the same, meaning to nourish the body. Only a strong body can activate the power in the 'acupoints'.

This kind of "nourishment" is different from the usual meaning of "nourishment". Nourishing the body requires fully developing the potential of the body, so that the body can unleash its most powerful strength before formal cultivation.

There is only one way to maintain health, and that is through "cultivation." The best time for ordinary people to maintain health is between the ages of twelve and twenty-five.

The "Mountain Stance" provides a set of "Mountain Stances". If you practice diligently every day for a suitable period of time, practicing in the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer without interruption, and practice for about five years, you will be able to "achieve great success in health preservation".

At this moment, although he has not yet entered the path of cultivation, he is already different from ordinary people. His arm has a strength of about two or three hundred catties, which is more than twice that of an ordinary person.

Using external medicines such as "body tempering powder" and "body nourishing soup" can greatly speed up this process. If one can take the medicine every day, one can basically achieve the goal of body nourishment in a year or two.

Upon reaching this point in the book, Tang Luo paused, as if suddenly realizing something.

No wonder Wang Yuande was so disappointed in his son. As the son of the Wang family, Wang Shuwen must have had no shortage of medicine, and perhaps even better medicine than those mentioned above. But he has not succeeded in recuperating for so long, so it is highly likely that he has not practiced at all.

Even if you have medicine, you still have to practice your skills.

But practicing martial arts is so tiring, and Wang Shuwen was clearly unwilling to endure such hardship.

Tang Luo shook his head slightly, looking down on this pampered young master.

When the original owner was a servant, he dreamed of becoming a high-ranking "cultivator master". For the original owner, practicing martial arts was nothing compared to chopping wood and burning charcoal. The daily smoke and fire made the future hopeless. If the original owner had done it, he would probably have already achieved great success in cultivating his body.

Even Wang Yuande himself, having missed the best time for cultivation and achieving great success with twice the effort for half the result, still managed to cultivate his health, which shows how useless that second-generation rich kid was.

Once you've mastered the art of health cultivation, the next step is "enlightenment." This enlightenment doesn't happen spontaneously; it requires a method called "the method of enlightenment."

Within the Mountain and Mountain Kung Fu, there is a method for opening the orifices using the "True Form Diagram of the Mountain and Mountain." Once the orifices are fully opened, all thirty-six orifices can be opened.

Tang Luo frowned slightly upon reading this.
