Starting from the world of martial arts in the Condor Heroes, practicing martial arts across the hea

The autumn wind is bleak, and the falling leaves are like rain, with yellow and red leaves covering the mountains.

Jiangnan, with her long hair tied behind her back and wearing a blue robe, stood in the courtyard slowly practicing Tai Chi. Her movements were as slow as pushing a millstone, and fallen leaves surrounded her, swaying with the movement of her hands...

Since reaching the maximum level of Taizu Changquan half a year ago, Jiangnan has been unable to find a suitable martial art to learn, so he started practicing the 24-form Tai Chi Chuan from memory. Unexpectedly, he made rapid progress, reaching Lv3 as soon as he started, and Lv5 after practicing for a while. Now he has even reached the maximum level.

A fully-level Tai Chi practitioner can perform a move that combines softness and strength. In addition to its inherently excellent visual appeal, it also allowed Jiangnan to comprehend the five steps and eight energies of Tai Chi: advancing, retreating, looking around, gazing, settling, collapsing, pulling, squeezing, pressing, plucking, splitting, elbowing, and leaning. The speed of the moves can be controlled at will, Yin and Yang can be mutually transformed, the power can be heard and the force can be heard with subtlety, not even a feather can be added, not even a fly can land, and the mind can be empty and the person can be one with the heaven.

A year has passed, and Jiang Nan has maxed out the proficiency of all the input panels.

Jiangnan used his feng shui skills to find a valley with a four-element layout, carefully designed it, and personally constructed a building for himself.

The courtyard faces south, with a lake flowing in front of it. The courtyard is surrounded by logs, and the main house is built in the style of carved logs, with stones as the foundation and layers of rough logs stacked up, which is both warm and beautiful.

Under the guise of feng shui consultation, Jiang Nan has been carefully circling the Chongyang Palace of the Quanzhen Sect several times in the past year, finding many ponds along the way.

He used his breathing technique to dive into each pool, carefully searching for any passageways. His efforts paid off, and he finally discovered an underground tunnel at the bottom of a pool not far from his current residence.

Jiangnan didn't dare to go too deep. Instead, he first practiced his swimming skills and built a house. Then, on a moonlit night, he took paper, pen, candles, and tinder wrapped in oiled paper and sneaked into the ancient tomb chamber to copy down the fragments of the Nine Yin Manual from the top of the chamber.

Emerging from the pool and silently returning to the wooden hut, Jiang Nan finally breathed a sigh of relief and carefully read the copied martial arts manual under the oil lamp.

The Nine Yin Manual left behind by Wang Chongyang in the Ancient Tomb includes the General Outline of the Nine Yin Manual, the Yi Jin Duan Gu Chapter, the Great Subduing Demon Fist, the Snake Walking and Fox Turning Techniques, the Nine Spiral Shadows, the Flying Willow Force, the Healing Chapter, the Secret Technique of Holding Breath, the Acupoint Striking Chapter, the Acupoint Releasing Chapter, the Tendon-Shrinking and Bone-Shrinking Method...

Jiangnan chose to first practice the Yi Jing Bone Forging Chapter, using it as a foundation to change his bones and reshape the physical body's foundation!

Jiang Nan was very cautious when he first came into contact with the internal energy system. He would rather his proficiency increase slowly than risk going astray and ending up like Mei Chaofeng, whose internal energy went astray and he was paralyzed from the waist down and unable to walk properly.

Fortunately, Jiangnan's recitation of scriptures was at its highest level, and his understanding of Taoist scriptures was quite profound, so there was no deviation in his understanding of the Nine Yin Manual.

……

As I woke up in the early autumn morning, the first snow of the year fell like goose feathers, slowly replacing the mountains and forests in white.

Jiangnan, dressed in a thin cotton blue robe, was practicing the Great Subduing Demon Fist when he suddenly heard the sound of a baby crying not far away.

Jiangnan has recently been practicing the Yi Jing Bone Forging Chapter, and his internal strength has begun to develop. His five senses are more acute than before, and although the baby's cry is not loud, it is very clear to his ears.

He searched in the direction the sound came from, and soon found a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes.

Jiangnan quickly picked up the child, shielded the baby from the wind with her body, and returned to the wooden house.

Jiangnan examined the baby and found no frostbite or cold; the baby seemed to be in good health. She also discovered it was a little girl.

Seeing that she was crying incessantly and could not be soothed no matter what she did, Jiangnan guessed that she was hungry, so he cooked some thin porridge and fed the baby some rice water, and sure enough, she stopped crying.

"The blanket doesn't look like something from an ordinary family, and it's for a baby girl... Could it be Little Dragon Girl?!"

The novel *The Return of the Condor Heroes* doesn't explain Xiaolongnu's background, but it seems now that her background is not simple!

"Should I move somewhere else?! To avoid being bothered by people because of the baby girl!"

"I remember building a lot of log cabins in different places to increase my building proficiency. Just to be on the safe side, I can move them over there!"

Without hesitation, Jiang Nan packed some essential items into a wooden box, then used his light-footed skills to carefully move the baby to the spare wooden house.

"Should I raise this baby myself? It seems like I have no choice but to. I don't know anyone from the Ancient Tomb Sect, and I have no connection with the Seven Masters of Quanzhen."

"But, having a child to make noise is good, otherwise I'll be lonely and isolated in the mountains for too long, with no one to talk to!"

"If this baby girl is indeed Xiaolongnü, then based on Yang Guo's age in the novel, Xiaolongnü and Huang Rong are about ten years apart in age. Therefore, Huang Rong is probably around ten years old now, which means there are still five or six years until the start of the Legend of the Condor Heroes storyline!"

"Yes! When the time comes, I'll take my five-year-old to travel the world."

"If you want to travel the world with your child, you need to be skilled in martial arts; you'll have to practice!"

Considering his plans to roam the martial world, he was quite wary of fighting with weapons unarmed, so he practiced the basic knife skills he had bought before using a woodcutter's knife.

A broadsword as a weapon is too expensive, I can't afford it, but a woodcutter's knife is more affordable! The blade is also good! If it breaks, I can just replace it, I won't feel bad!

Flowers bloom and fade, water flows on and on, never to return to the west.

"Brother, where are we going?! Will we come back?"

A beautifully sculpted little girl looked up and asked.

The little girl looked to be only five or six years old. She had her hair in two buns, her cheeks were rosy, and her big eyes blinked. She had an innate sense of aloofness about her!

To be honest, this was Jiangnan's first time raising a child, and she had no experience. She figured everything out on her own. Fortunately, she has the talent to be diligent and she becomes proficient at everything she does. Over the past five years, she has gone from being flustered and overwhelmed to being calm and composed when taking care of the child, and she has also gone from not knowing how to do hairdressing to being an expert.

Of course, the main reason Jiang Nan dared to adopt Xiaolongnu was because his traditional Chinese medicine skills were top-notch and he wasn't afraid of the girl getting sick. Otherwise, he really wouldn't have dared to adopt her for fear of taking responsibility!

"Let's travel around and broaden our horizons. As the saying goes, 'Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles.' Let's go out and explore. When we get tired, we can just find a place to stay! We can also come back to stay if we want."

"What? Long'er is reluctant to leave?! Then we won't go!"

"Wherever brother goes, Long'er will go!"

Hmm! After thinking for a long time, Jiang Nan decided to name the baby girl Xiaolongnu, with the nickname Long'er!

This must be an obsession with Jiangnan!

However, during the ten years I lived in Zhongnan Mountain, I didn't see any disciples of the Ancient Tomb Sect other than Li Mochou. Maybe Xiaolongnu was originally the Xiaolongnu of the Ancient Tomb Sect?!

Another point is that, I don't know if it's because of the clothes he's wearing, but ten years ago he was twenty years old, and ten years later, Jiang Nan looks no different from ten years ago, still twenty years old. The bone age measurement method in the application book is also the same!

Whether this counts as immortality remains to be seen!

However, this relieved Jiang Nan of one worry: how could he marry Huang Rong and Xiaolongnu when he was too old? Although he felt that age was not an obstacle, he was afraid that Huang Yaoshi would chase after him and kill him!
