Two or three months of practice can be equivalent to the results of an ordinary person's ten or eight years of practice in stance training!

Liu Laosan was greatly shocked when he heard Zhang Yuanqing's evaluation of Li Xingdao.

He knew that since Zhang Yuanqing was an old boxing master, what he said must have a reason and he would never speak without reason.

Since Li Xingdao received such praise, it must mean that his gains in qi and blood and stance training over the past two or three months have reached a level that ordinary people can only achieve in eight or ten years.

How could this not be a stunning thing?

It should be noted that Liu Laosan has only been practicing martial arts for over twenty years, while Li Xingdao has only been practicing for two or three months and has already caught up with half of Liu Laosan's achievements over the years.

Liu Laosan was deeply moved, glad that he had introduced such a talented but unrefined gem to Master Zhang Yuanqing. Otherwise, wouldn't such a genius have been buried in obscurity?

Especially when he thought about what Li Xingdao had encountered in the village, a cold glint appeared in Liu Laosan's eyes.

Fortunately, those issues had all been resolved, and the cold glint in Liu Laosan's eyes vanished in an instant.

Then, he looked at Li Xingdao, who wanted to learn Zhang Yuanqing's martial arts, with a happy expression. He thought to himself that this had both fulfilled the young man's desire to learn martial arts and strengthened the old master Zhang's intention to pass on the martial arts.

In this way, both aspects are perfect.

"Hmm, with your talent, I'm afraid you could learn any skill I teach you in no time."

"However, in order to ensure you have a solid foundation, I'll give you a few doses of medicine first. Have your senior brother catch some for you when he's free."

"This medicine is for replenishing qi and blood. After taking this medicine, you will be able to cultivate more qi and blood every day."

"Take the medicine as prescribed, and practice diligently every day. First, cultivate your qi and blood to the top of your head until you reach the point where you can't progress any further. Then I will teach you advanced skills to strengthen your foundation and officially embark on the path of martial arts."

Zhang Yuanqing, watching Li Xingdao demonstrate his progress in stance training, looked on with even greater interest and spoke with a bright smile. As he spoke, he waved to Liu Laosan:

"Third brother, your junior brother is now practicing martial arts and needs to get on the right track. Could you please help him with the necessary medicinal soup? You can get the money from my residence from now on, but the herbs must be the best."

"Master, don't worry. With me here, the medicinal herbs I give to Junior Brother will definitely be of the highest quality."

Upon hearing this, Liu Laosan immediately patted his chest and said, "I will definitely bring you the finest medicinal herbs when the time comes."

"Thank you, Master Zhang. Thank you, Senior Brother Liu."

Li Xingdao was unaware that the two were doing him a favor, and immediately bowed gratefully in thanks.

After he finished speaking, Liu Laosan's eyes lit up, and he immediately went into the house, fetched a stool, and placed it next to Zhang Yuanqing with a smile.

Zhang Yuanqing glanced at it, then smiled and sat down on the stool.

Upon seeing this, Li Xingdao immediately knelt down before Zhang Yuanqing and kowtowed three times.

"Master, please accept me as your disciple!"

Seeing that Li Xingdao had so honestly kowtowed three times right away, Zhang Yuanqing was moved and spoke with emotion, helping him up as he spoke:

"You've kowtowed three times, such a great gesture. I'll teach you all my real skills."

Then, Zhang Yuanqing instructed Liu Laosan to take the medicinal herbs he was carrying and boil them first, and then beckoned to Li Xingdao:

"Come here first, let me see if there's anything wrong with your physique from training, and if you have any hidden injuries."

After Zhang Yuanqing finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeves. Upon seeing this, Li Xingdao immediately went over obediently. Liu Laosan chuckled and went to the side to brew medicine for him.

Zhang Yuanqing placed his hand on Li Xingdao's shoulder, then pressed down along the bones from his neck and head, feeling the condition of his joints, and touched his entire body.

After touching it all over, Li Xingdao didn't feel anything, but Zhang Yuanqing's face showed shock and even disbelief:

"Your body is so naturally strong, you are probably stronger than some martial arts masters who have mastered the art. Ordinary people are no different from little lambs in front of you."

"And yet, this powerful body shows absolutely no trace of martial arts training. Apart from stance training, there is no martial arts foundation whatsoever, nor any trace of having mastered the art of martial arts. It is truly unbelievable."

"Sigh, sometimes you can't help but marvel at how different people are favored by fate!"

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes and touched it with my own hands, I probably wouldn't have believed it even if you told me. There are people in the world whose physical constitution is so good."

Zhang Yuanqing spoke with admiration, which made Li Xingdao a little embarrassed: "Master, you flatter me."

"No, I'm not flattering you; I'm just stating the facts. Your talent and aptitude are not just a once-in-a-century phenomenon, but a once-in-a-millennium martial arts prodigy!"

Zhang Yuanqing looked at Li Xingdao with a face full of emotion.

His words brought a smile to Liu Laosan's face:

"See, Master Zhang? I told you this trip wouldn't disappoint you. Are you satisfied with Junior Brother's aptitude?"

"More than satisfied, it's a delightful surprise!"

Zhang Yuanqing looked at Li Xingdao with the same fervor one would show for a beautiful piece of jade, and spoke with immense delight. Finally, he added solemnly:

"In that case, I can't teach you the fundamental techniques too early. These days, you should take medicine every day to solidify your Qi and blood to the extreme. Then I will teach you the profound martial arts mental techniques and the fundamental methods of martial arts. This way, I won't accidentally ruin the precious foundation of your life."

"Please don't think I'm stalling for time because I don't want to teach you the real skills. Sometimes a person's foundation is set right from the very beginning of their training."

"Now that you have cultivated your Qi and Blood, the next step is to cultivate your Internal Qi. The quality of your initial Internal Qi depends entirely on the quality of the first strand of Internal Qi you cultivate."

"Only by filling one's Qi and blood to the limit and then condensing one's internal energy can one fully realize one's potential."

"And this breath of internal energy will determine your entire cultivation up to the Innate Realm. If you take this wrong step, unless you encounter some divine skill that can purify your true energy, your innate talent will be wasted, and even if you reach the Innate Realm, you will be hindered!"

Zhang Yuanqing was afraid that Li Xingdao would harbor resentment and even secretly learn other kung fu techniques behind his back, so he spoke very earnestly and patiently.

How could Li Xingdao not understand the principle that a tall building rises from the ground?

Moreover, he was also thinking that it might be better for him to wait until his Qi and blood were fully replenished before making the switch. So, he immediately nodded and agreed with a smile:

"Don't worry, Master, I understand."

"Yes, you understand."

Zhang Yuanqing looked at Li Xingdao with satisfaction and nodded. Then he took out a picture and asked him, "Can you read?"

"My father was once a scholar, so he can read."

Upon hearing this, Li Xingdao immediately spoke up.

Zhang Yuanqing immediately smiled: "Since you can read, then memorize this diagram of the human body's meridians. After memorizing it, then memorize this book on the functions of meridians and acupoints."
