The guards at King Han's palace were not strict, so Bai Yuan naturally did not encounter any surprises. He easily dodged the palace guards and headed towards Honglian's bedroom.
Relying on the perception of the red lotus' breath, Bai Yuan was not afraid of getting lost.
At this time, Honglian was holding an iron sword in the yard, practicing seriously.
After she came back yesterday, she immediately asked someone to prepare medicine according to the prescription given by Bai Yuan. She took a medicinal bath in the evening and then went to bed early.
The next day, I was in a very good mental state. I got up early, washed, had breakfast, took a short rest, and then started practicing sword.
She took this matter more seriously than ever before. After all, the hope of becoming stronger was right in front of her. She didn't want to disappoint Bai Yuan at all and miss this opportunity.
The palace maids on the side watched Honglian dancing with the sword and couldn't help but feel worried, fearing that Honglian might accidentally hurt herself.
After all, Honglian is the apple of King Han's eye and his most beloved daughter. If she is accidentally injured, the palace maids who are responsible for taking care of Honglian's daily life will be held accountable.
But they also knew Princess Honglian's character. She was so willful that she would never listen to their advice.
Therefore, they could only watch from the sidelines with a nervous and worried heart.
Honglian, who was practicing sword, suddenly felt that the sword in his hand was somewhat out of control. He was startled, but then showed an expression of surprise.
This is a secret code that she and Bai Yuan agreed upon.
Honglian put down her sword and coughed twice. "This princess suddenly has some inspiration and needs a quiet environment. You all go down! Do not approach here without my order!"
The palace maids were caught off guard when they heard this sudden order.
But the princess's order was the most important, so they could only respond, bow, and slowly leave the yard.
As soon as they left, Honglian couldn't wait to look around.
Chapter 372: Step-by-step instruction
"It seems that you are really serious about learning martial arts!"
Just as Honglian was looking for Bai Yuan, a familiar voice came from behind Honglian.
Honglian turned around and found a familiar figure faintly emerging in the sunlight in the pavilion behind her.
Judging from the looks of it, Bai Yuan didn't seem to have just arrived, but must have been sitting here for a while.
In fact, Bai Yuan did come here very early, but when he saw Hong Lian practicing sword seriously there, he did not disturb her, but watched quietly from the side.
With his strength, he could sit there and cast the technique of blending with the light and concealing his aura, and those palace maids would not be able to detect his presence at all.
Seeing this magical scene, Honglian covered her mouth, feeling a little surprised.
"Did you see everything just now?"
"I just watched for a while. Compared to when I taught you yesterday, your sword movements today have improved a bit."
Bai Yuan smiled gently, which seemed to encourage Honglian.
Hearing the compliment, Honglian felt a little embarrassed and smiled foolishly.
She did not ask Bai Yuan how he broke into the palace and sneaked here. Instead, she was delighted by the means he inadvertently displayed.
After all, the more powerful Bai Yuan is, the greater her gains will be.
When she has learned enough, she will be able to come and go freely like Bai Yuan, and no one will be able to stop her.
I will definitely be able to help Brother Jiu then!
After feeling a little happy for a while, Honglian shook her head, and quickly remembered the business, and asked curiously:
"Come to think of it, why did you come to see me today? Didn't you say you would come to check my swordsmanship in a few days?"
"I'm not here to check your swordsmanship today. Don't you want to learn inner strength? I didn't have enough time yesterday, so I didn't teach you."
Hearing this, Honglian's eyes widened immediately: "You want to teach me internal skills! That's great!"
She almost screamed, and Bai Yuan couldn't help but smile and shake his head slightly.
He remembered that when he formally became Bei Mingzi's disciple, Chi Songzi gave him Tianzong's internal energy method, Heart as Calm as Water. When he first came into contact with the internal energy method, his performance was actually no different from Honglian's, or he was even more excited.
After all, in his original concept, internal force and true qi were all fictional. When he really came into contact with something with "supernatural" properties like internal force and true qi, his reaction was naturally very big.
At this time Honglian realized that her voice was a little loud, and she looked at the door nervously, afraid of attracting the attention of the palace maids.
Bai Yuan saw Hong Lian's expression and knew what she was worried about, so he said, "Don't worry about anyone disturbing you. I have used my inner strength to isolate the sound in this area, so no one will hear you even if you shout a little louder."
"Hey! Can you actually do something like this?"
Honglian was a little surprised that internal energy could be used in such a wonderful way.
Bai Yuan did not explain in detail, as internal strength itself is something that is difficult to explain scientifically.
"Okay, now that you won't be disturbed, take a look at this book of internal skills and write it down. If there is anything you don't understand, keep it in mind. When I take you through it later, you will understand it."
Bai Yuan didn't waste any more time with Honglian and took out a secret book and handed it to her.
Honglian took the secret book and looked at the words on it, her eyes lit up slightly.
"Purple Clouds Technique, is this the inner strength technique given to me?"
Bai Yuan nodded gently: "That's right, you have to memorize this internal energy method today, and you have to take it with you when I leave."
After hearing this, Honglian hurriedly sat down and began to read the secret book carefully.
This [Zixia Gong] is the martial arts of Chunyang Palace that Bai Yuan learned from the [Chunyang Special Volume].
Although [Chun Yang Special Volume] is essentially a book of supreme internal skills, it does not affect the fact that it also records the strongest secret book of the entire Chun Yang Palace's supreme martial arts.
After Bai Yuan successfully comprehended the [Chun Yang Special Volume], he could continue to use the martial arts of the Chun Yang Palace.
For the sake of convenience, Bai Yuan took some time to write down all these martial arts, not just the [Zixia Gong] in Honglian's hands.
In this way, those who directly learn the orthodox martial arts of Chunyang Palace from the secret books he wrote do not need to consider the strange rules of [Chunyang Special Book], and it will not affect the learners' later study of [Chunyang Special Book].
Because when you study [Chun Yang Bie Ce] again, normal martial arts such as [Zi Xia Gong] will no longer appear, only alternative swordsmanship such as [Sensational Swordsmanship] will appear.
Bai Yuan taught Honglian the [Purple Cloud Skill] because he thought the internal strength cultivated through this skill was relatively peaceful and neutral, with both yin and yang, and there was no difficulty for her to learn it.
This mental method is no inferior to Bai Yuan's "He Guang Tong Chen" in terms of level, and can also be called a supreme mental method.
However, he does not have the same high talent restriction as Guang Tongchen. Although they are both Taoist internal skills, Zixia Gong only requires step-by-step practice. As long as Honglian is willing to work hard, he will get corresponding rewards.
If it were to use a mental method like "He Guang Tong Chen", Hong Lian would probably find it difficult to get started.
It took Honglian more than an hour to memorize all the mantras of this mental method, and Bai Yuan did not make a sound to disturb her during this time.
After returning the secret book to Bai Yuan, the formal teaching had just begun.
In the yard, Bai Yuan and Hong Lian sat cross-legged, with their palms facing each other, teaching hand in hand.
"First, you must memorize the formula of the mental method in your heart and feel where your innate energy is. I will help you use this innate energy to open up your Dantian. After that, I will use my internal force to guide you in cultivation. You must calm down and feel the flow of the internal force through your meridians and remember it firmly."
Honglian nodded slightly, suppressed her inner excitement, closed her eyes, and according to what Bai Yuan said, silently recited the mantra of Zixia Gong in her heart.
At the same time, Bai Yuan also began to transfer a small amount of internal energy to Honglian.
This time Bai Yuan wanted to teach, so he deliberately let Honglian be able to clearly feel the location of this internal energy.
Along her meridians, the true energy slowly flowed towards her dantian.
Under Bai Yuan's deliberate guidance, Honglian quickly developed a sense of qi and felt the innate qi in her body that Bai Yuan mentioned.
This energy was different from the internal energy that Bai Yuan passed on. It was usually stored in her limbs and bones, but now she could control it and it was slowly gathering towards her dantian.
When the innate energy in her body condensed in her dantian, Bai Yuan began to guide Honglian to solidify this innate energy and open up her own dantian qi sea.
Of course, this process is not easy. Even with Bai Yuan's guidance and help, it still takes some time.
Chapter 373: We will take revenge sooner or later!
For most people who are practicing internal skills for the first time, it takes a lot of time to feel the innate energy in their body, let alone use it to open up the qi sea.
Ordinary people may need a month or so to master the trick and successfully open up the Qi Sea. Those with some talent can shorten the time to half a month, and those with excellent talent can take even shorter time.
The people who can realize the innate qi and successfully open up the qi sea within one day are extremely rare, and even ordinary geniuses cannot do it.
If Honglian didn't have Bai Yuan's dedicated help, it would still take a long time.
The whole process lasted for more than an hour before Honglian completely transformed this innate energy into his own qi sea and possessed the initial internal strength.
Then Bai Yuan began to lead Honglian to practice Zixia Gong.
This process is actually a little more dangerous than the previous ones, because if something goes wrong in the process of moving the Qi, it would be very dangerous. At the very least, it would damage the meridians, and at worst, it would cause possession of the body.
So it should have only taken about ten breaths for the true energy to circulate a full circle in her body. However, the first time, Bai Yuan actually took thirty breaths.
Honglian concentrated her mind and recorded the route in her mind. After practicing it for several big cycles, she finally understood all the things she had previously been confused about, Zixia Gong.
This is what it means to truly learn Zixia Gong, but it is only the entry level.
After leading Honglian to practice for about ten big cycles, Bai Yuan stopped guiding and began to let Honglian practice on her own.
After Honglian thoroughly understood the mantra of Zixia Gong, she would generally not make mistakes in the circulation of Qi, because her body would instinctively remember the route of Qi circulation and operate automatically in accordance with the mantra.
Honglian practiced for a while. Bai Yuan noticed that it was almost time for dinner, so he interrupted her and called her up.
"How does it feel to practice internal energy for the first time?"
"It's amazing! I've never experienced anything like it before!"
Honglian's face was flushed with excitement.
Having internal strength and not having internal strength can be said to be two completely different worlds.
"You have just started practicing, and you still have a long way to go. This Zixia Gong is a top-notch mental method. When you practice it, it is as smooth as clouds. When you practice it to a certain level, you can also use purple energy to protect your body, which is both offensive and defensive. I hope you will practice diligently."
Bai Yuan warned seriously.
Honglian nodded quickly: "I will practice well!"
At this moment, she has tasted the sweetness of having internal strength. Now Honglian is confident that she can defeat two Han Feis!
At this moment, Honglian's stomach suddenly made a "gurgling" sound, which made the smile on her face freeze.
Bai Yuan smiled lightly:
"Practicing is a very energy-consuming activity. It's normal to feel hungry. Eat lunch first. It won't be too late to continue in the afternoon."
Why, in general, people who practice martial arts have a larger appetite than others? It is because no matter whether they are practicing external techniques or internal skills, they will quickly consume energy in the body.
Of course, when practicing internal skills, you can make up for this part of the energy consumption by absorbing the spiritual energy traveling in the air or absorbing the medicinal power of elixirs.
Therefore, the increase in food intake of people who practice internal skills is generally not very obvious, unlike those who practice external martial arts, who may even become gluttons.
Seeing that Bai Yuan did not laugh at her, Honglian regained her happy look and immediately prepared to ask the palace maid to prepare a big meal for her.
"You can stay for lunch too! I'll ask them to bring some more."
However, Bai Yuan shook his head: "Forget it, since you have already learned the Purple Cloud Skill, I am also planning to go back. If you really want to treat me to a meal, then come find me next time you leave the palace!"
If we follow Honglian's advice and ask someone to send more food over, then no matter how hard we try to hide it, people will guess that Honglian is not the only one here.
Then the fact that he taught Honglian martial arts would probably be exposed soon, and Bai Yuan didn't want it to be exposed so early.
Honglian also realized that something was wrong and nodded.
"Well, I'll find an opportunity in a couple of days and leave the palace to look for you."
Bai Yuan smiled, left a bottle of Soul Gathering Pill for Honglian, then used the "He Guang Tong Chen" skill and disappeared in front of Honglian.
Watching Bai Yuan leave, Honglian still felt a little unbelievable.
After leaving the palace, Bai Yuan quickly returned home, just in time for lunch.
However, when they saw Bai Yuan coming back, Yan Lingji and others seemed a little surprised.
"We thought you were going to have dinner in the palace!"
Bai Yuan shook his head slightly: "Forget it! There is nothing delicious in the palace. In comparison, I still prefer to eat at home."
The girls all smiled and agreed with Bai Yuan's words.
After all, anyone who gets used to the food here will not be interested in the so-called delicacies from outside.
Time flies, and the next day, Han Fei, Wei Zhuang and others have not found the whereabouts of the vulture.
Bai Yifei and Ji Wuye also noticed something was wrong and guessed that the person who kidnapped the vulture was most likely Tianze.
If the vulture falls into Tianze's hands, there is a high probability that he will be in great danger.
