Under One Person: I can manipulate magnetic fields!

Seeing She Yingying and the others smirking, he basically realized that "Old Deng" had tricked him.

However, he could understand. Just as Zhang Jingqing wanted to teach Zhang Zhiwei a lesson, Old Man Wang probably didn't want him to be too arrogant, lest he suffer in the future, so he taught him a lesson.

But this old man is really shameless.

They even resorted to trickery to deal with a child like him.

In this respect, he is indeed not as sincere as Zuo Ruotong, after all, Zuo Ruotong is a master of the Xuanmen sect, while this person is a demon of the Quanxing sect.

"Forget it, Old Wang did this for my sake, afraid I'd get arrogant. It's just that his teaching method was a bit wrong. Luckily, I'm not a child anymore. Let him lie to me and just pretend I don't know anything."

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes, but he wasn't too angry.

Chapter 48 Duanmu Ying? (First Update)

"It's good that you understand. I'm doing this for your own good. Of course, the method you just used was quite interesting."

Wang Yaozu also coughed.

He also realized that he might have gone a bit too far just now.

However, it's not bad that this kid has learned his place.

But this kid is indeed a prodigy. The power of that move he just made was remarkable. I reckon an ordinary superhuman would have easily fallen for his trick.

Moreover, the fact that he was able to refine the nine sons of Baxia so quickly and unleash a portion of their power is simply heaven-defying.

"Yes, what Elder Wang said is true. There are countless heroes in the world, and there are many talented and extraordinary people in the martial arts world! Taking a fall can actually help you see yourself more clearly."

Yuan Jingui chuckled as well.

This kid is quite an interesting fellow. He clearly saw that Old Wang was cheating, but he didn't expose him.

“Little brother, what Brother Yuan said is right. Today’s defeat is a good thing for you.”

She Yingying also rushed over and laughed.

"Hmm, your life-saving skills are still lacking. But what was that move you just made?"

Young Master Chai also pushed up his glasses and asked.

With this kid's talent, he'll probably have a hard time finding a match among his peers in the future. It's actually a good thing he's suffered a bit today.

However, that move was indeed impressive.

"These are just techniques I casually developed; they're nothing special. By the way, Elder Wang, is there anything else you'd like to teach me today?"

Chen Yuan shrugged and then asked.

This is actually just a simple scientific principle.

Of course, this was still a bit difficult for these people from the Republic of China era who had not studied the principles of physics.

"You call this not impressive? This kid hasn't curbed his arrogance much. Besides, I've taught him everything I can at this stage. He doesn't have enough Qi for the next stage."

Wang Yaozu looked depressed.

I clearly taught this kid a lesson today, but it doesn't seem to have worked.

Well, the reason he wanted to take this kid in was because of his arrogant personality. Without these thorns, he really wouldn't have liked him.

Maybe he's just a jerk.

"Your life cultivation is not yet up to par, so don't think about learning other techniques. Strengthening your foundation is the key. Once your life cultivation improves, the power of your magnetic field will naturally increase! Today, go back and cultivate your foundation-building skills properly. Your body is not yet ready."

Wang Yaozu gave a dry laugh.

This is such a hassle.

This kid is too prodigy; I don't know how to teach him.

We can only let this kid build a solid foundation first.

"In that case, I'll take my leave now."

Chen Yuan clasped his hands in a fist salute.

Since Old Deng isn't going to teach him anything else, he should go back first.

The old man's words made sense. Life is the most fundamental thing. If one's life cultivation is insufficient, the power of the methods one uses will only be mediocre.

Speaking of which, Master Niu from Jishetang had invited him to visit before.

I haven't had time before, but I managed to squeeze in some time today.

He was also quite interested in the medical practices of the superhumans, and his dual-wielding ability was derived from their medical practices.

With that thought in mind, Chen Yuan left the courtyard.

A short while later, at Jishetang.

"Master Niu, are you there? I've come to pay my respects!"

Chen Yuan entered Jishetang.

The Jishetang was naturally filled with the aroma of various herbs.

"Who are you? What are you doing at our Jishetang?"

Just then, a childish voice rang out. A little girl with two braids, wearing a dark red blouse, a black skirt, and little leather shoes, stood with her hands on her hips, staring at Chen Yuan.

"Huh? Who is this little girl?"

Chen Yuan looked at the rather spirited-looking girl in front of him with curiosity. There was a faint Qi circulating around the girl, so it seemed that she had only recently obtained Qi.

"Sister Yingzi, who are you talking to?"

As they were talking, a thin, frail, and well-mannered little boy ran over.

"Sister Yingzi? Could this girl be Duanmu Ying?"

A strange look flashed in Chen Yuan's eyes.

Is Duanmu Ying, one of the Thirty-Six Thieves of the Future?

So, this little boy must be Prince Zhong?

"Who's here? Wang Zizhong, Duanmu Ying, who are you talking to?"

Another little boy came out. He also looked thin, but unlike the flat-headed boy, this boy had his hair slicked back.

"Another child?"

Chen Yuan was somewhat surprised. Who was this kid?

"Bi Yuan, a strange fellow has arrived. He seems to be looking for Master Niu."

Duanmu Ying looked Chen Yuan up and down.

The boy in front of them looked to be three or four years older than them. He had fair and delicate skin, and judging from his clothes, his family seemed to be quite wealthy.

"Bi Yuan, the master of the Ghost Needle technique? Isn't that Grandpa Bi who taught Ding Shian the Ghost Needle technique? Is that old man really that young now?"

Chen Yuan couldn't help but smile.

Damn, this is really interesting.

If you traveled back to this era, you could indeed see some different scenery.

"So it's you, young friend! Haha, sorry, I was just busy sorting some angelica in the backyard. Hmm? Young friend, it seems you've made further progress!"

Master Niu was also startled when he saw Chen Yuan.

This kid has only been gone for a few days, but his aura has increased significantly, and his body has become much stronger. He's truly a promising talent who cultivates both inner and outer strength.

Unfortunately, his family wouldn't allow him to cultivate himself into an extraordinary person.

"Master Niu, it's just a slight improvement, nothing to brag about. You said before that if I wanted to learn some medical knowledge, I could come and find you!"

Chen Yuan smiled slightly.

Medicine is related to the human body, and this knowledge can be very useful for extraordinary people.

"Young friend, are you interested?"

Upon hearing this, Master Niu's eyes lit up.

The child in front of us is a natural-born genius. His memory and ability to learn complex medical knowledge, which he demonstrated earlier, are quite impressive.

"I am indeed somewhat interested and would like to learn some knowledge in this area so that I can help treat any family members who fall ill in the future."

Chen Yuan smiled.

That's obviously nonsense. His father is so rich, if he's sick, does he need him to treat him?

Whether you pay to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor or a Western medicine doctor is not a big problem.

"Young friend, your filial piety is commendable. In that case, come and learn with Yingzi and the others. Start with the simplest things, like identifying medicinal herbs, and also learn some acupuncture techniques."

Speaking of which, I was planning to teach the children some acupuncture techniques today, and you're welcome to come and listen!

A hint of a smile flashed in Master Niu's eyes.

The little guy has finally arrived. This child's talent would make him a highly sought-after commodity in any sect.

If I could really become a disciple of Jishetang, I would have the opportunity to become a national master in the future.

"Acupuncture?"

Chen Yuan's eyes lit up.

Acupuncture techniques are quite powerful; techniques like the closed-center needle and the ghost-gate needle are considered very effective.

Chapter 49 The Ghost Needle (Second Update)

"That's right. As I told you yesterday, the Du Meridian is also known as the Tongtian River. It is the essential path for us cultivators to circulate our Qi through the body. It is the first step to connecting the eight extraordinary meridians: the Du Meridian, Ren Meridian, Chong Meridian, Dai Meridian, Yang Wei Meridian, Yin Wei Meridian, Yin Qiao Meridian, and Yang Qiao Meridian."

There are three difficult passes on the Du meridian: the coccyx pass, the spinal pass, and the Yuzhen acupoint. Practitioners need a force to break through these three passes; in modern terms, it's called a "jolt," and in Taoism, this "jolt" is also called "golden crystal."

It's like the role of Venus and the Water-Avoiding Golden Crystal Beast in *Journey to the West*; without this sudden burst of energy, the three passes on the back could only be passed one by one: the strength of the sheep accompanying the cold dragon over the coccyx, the strength of the deer over the spine, and the strength of the tiger over the jade pillow. This is like three hundred monks pulling grass and withered stones, unable to match the power of the Golden Crystal's single jolt; therefore, the body's "river chariot" (a metaphor for the body's internal energy flow) would be difficult to operate, hence the saying—"the chariot is slow!"

Master Niu took out a diagram of the human body's meridians and began explaining it to Chen Yuan and Duanmu Ying.

The circulation of Qi through the body is considered the most basic skill among those with extraordinary abilities, but there are still many intricacies involved.
