Training Practice

"Animal plays?" Yue Qianchou was taken aback. He immediately thought of the words "beastly tricks," but then felt that it would tarnish his future studies. So he quickly thought of the "Five Animal Frolics" he had heard of in his previous life. It seemed that the guy named Hua Tuo had also created it based on animals, which immediately put him at ease.

"This disciple will immediately go and diligently study it." Yue Qianchou immediately bowed and withdrew. When he realized that the animal world in this jade tablet was truly of great benefit to him, he made up his mind to learn it, and to learn it arduously. He had no other merits, but he was hardworking and ruthless to himself. He comforted himself by saying that this was called making up for his shortcomings with diligence.

As soon as he left, Ziyi couldn't stay still any longer. She dawdled over to Bi Changchun and stammered, "Elder Bi, my master... my master has already gone to invite the Ancestor Nanming for you Ziyi. Can... could I learn the bird-fighting exercise that you passed on to Yue Qianchou first?" By the end, she seemed a little embarrassed, and her voice was almost inaudible.

Fortunately, Bi Changchun's cultivation was high and his hearing was good; he nodded slightly to her. Ziyi was so happy she almost jumped for joy, and quickly bowed, saying, "Ziyi thanks Elder Bi kindness. Ziyi will take her leave now." After saying that, she slipped out and went off to catch Yue Qianchou.

Bi Changchun smiled slightly and sat down cross-legged in his usual spot. Actually, when Nong Zhu suggested that Ziyi learn, given his relationship with Nong Zhu, he hadn't considered refusing. Otherwise, with the items Yue Qianchou had obtained from the Netherworld Gate, persuading Nanming wouldn't have been difficult. Therefore, it wasn't about Nong Zhu; it was simply that his cultivation was decent, and his travel speed was relatively fast, so he was just asking him to run an errand.

As soon as Ziyi stepped outside, she quickly looked around. In such a short Yue Qianchou, Yue Qianchou had vanished without a trace. He actually wanted to hoard all the good stuff for himself—it was infuriating! Surely he hadn't escaped Shuntian Island? So she quickly took to the air and circled the island in all directions, but found no trace of him. Considering that with his cultivation level, even if he had flown away in such a short time, he couldn't possibly have escaped her sight. She immediately deduced that Yue Qianchou must be hiding somewhere on the island, and thus began a thorough search.

Yue Qianchou had long known that this girl wouldn't let him go. In order to have some peace and quiet, he hid in the 'bird's nest' he had built before, held the jade tablet and carefully studied it. After figuring out the general idea, he would start practicing like crazy.

The island was only so big, Ziyi quickly located the bird's nest. She darted inside and saw that the bird was indeed hiding there, enjoying the jade tablet all to itself!

"What are you doing here?" Yue Qianchou asked warily as he put away the jade tablet.

"Give it to me!" the Ziyi demanded without any hesitation.

"Give me what?" Yue Qianchou pretended not to know. Ziyi glared at him and said, "Quickly hand over Elder Bi's 'Bird Play' Method Formula. Elder Bi has already agreed to let me learn it."

Yue Qianchou was taken aback. She dared to say such things on Shuntian Island, so her master must have really agreed to it. But he hadn't even learned it yet, and she had already received it. When would it be his turn? He immediately refused, "Nonsense. Let's talk about it when your master brings the Ancestor Nanming."

"Are you going to give it to me or not?" Ziyi gritted her teeth, seemingly about to forcibly take it. Yue Qianchou's face darkened and he said, "Don't get me wrong, this is Shuntian Island, not your South Sea Purple Bamboo Forest. It's not your place to act tough here! If you dare to cause trouble, be careful my master kicks you out of Shuntian Island." These words had a threatening tone, but they were quite effective on Ziyi.

"You..." the Ziyi said angrily, "Then come with me to find Elder Bi and reason with him."

"Why should I? This was taught to me by my master. If anyone is to learn it, it should be me who finishes learning it first before it's your turn." Yue Qianchou started acting unreasonably.

Although Bi Changchun was sitting inside the main room, he was fully aware of everything that was happening. Shuntian Island hadn't been this lively in a long time. He shook his head slightly and transmitted his voice, "Yue Qianchou, make a copy for her!"

Yue Qianchou, who was about to have a big argument, was stunned for a moment. Helplessly, he bowed towards the direction of the main house and said, "Yes, disciple understands." Then he turned back to Ziyi and sneered, "My master is merciful and asked me to make a copy for you. Don't make trouble for me anymore. If I make a mistake, don't blame me."

Ziyi was also taken aback, and immediately realized that Bi Changchun had sent a telepathic message to Yue Qianchou, so she also bowed in the direction of the main house.

To be honest, Yue Qianchou was very unhappy. He had gone through countless life-and-death struggles to get to where he was today, and finally managed to get some things from the master of the Number One Expert Under Heaven expert. This girl who got in through connections was now insisting on sharing the fruits of his labor, which was infuriating. But there was nothing he could do, so he had no choice but to take out two jade tablets and obediently make a copy.

After giving the items to Ziyi, he didn't forget to instruct her, "Ziyi, you must remember this well. These things are the fruits of my master's labor, and you must not pass them on to others."

"Yes, yes, I understand. I will definitely not let Elder Bi's hard work fall into the hands of others." After receiving the item, Ziyi was quite satisfied. She also assumed that Bi Changchun had asked Yue Qianchou to convey these words, and decided to carry them out faithfully.

"We need quiet now, please don't disturb me anymore." Yue Qianchou gestured for the Bird's Nest to leave. The woman in Ziyi, her face beaming with excitement, clutched the jade tablet and darted out to find a place for self-reflection.

Yue Qianchou finally felt at ease and went to see his own bird. As a result, he stayed in the bird's nest for a whole day and night, forgetting to eat and sleep...

Cultivators in the Cultivation World, after more or less training, should have a comprehension ability far superior to that of ordinary people. Yue Qianchou a whole day exploring and finally figured it out. The contents of this jade tablet were indeed quite different from the Cultivation World Method Formula he knew.

Similar to the martial arts evolved from animals known in his previous life, but far more diverse than those he had seen before, this jade tablet records the movement patterns of over a thousand representative animals. After transforming into human form for practice, perhaps to make the movements more closely resemble the nature of animals, Bi Changchun also assigned a path for the circulation of True Essence to each set of patterns, which showed considerable effort.

Yue Qianchou was truly impressed by his master. He was certain that this set of diagrams and techniques would not only greatly benefit cultivators, but also improve the health of ordinary people—it was practically a self-created health exercise routine. He just didn't know how effective it would be, or if it was really as miraculous as the master claimed. He'd just have to believe him for now! After all, the master was the Number One Expert Under Heaven!

The soft, flat, and open plantation, now devoid of the Deficient Flame Mysterious Fruit, became a perfect place for him to practice. After memorizing several corresponding True Essence circulation routes, he practiced with tigers, eagles, snakes, monkeys, and the like, seemingly enjoying himself immensely, but inwardly he was both amused and exasperated. Was this something a cultivator should be doing?

Little did he know that his actions, witnessed by Bi Changchun, greatly shocked him. His own original creation was something most people would find hard to accept, perhaps even incomprehensible. He hadn't expected Yue Qianchou to pick it up so quickly, and to practice it so skillfully, capturing both form and spirit. His comprehension was exceptionally high, far exceeding Bi Changchun's expectations.

Bi Changchun thought to himself, "Accepting this disciple is absolutely divine intervention." A strong sense of satisfaction filled his heart. With such a disciple, what more could one ask for! Subconsciously, he already regarded this disciple as a treasure. He figured that if anyone dared to touch Yue Qianchou now, he would kill them without hesitation.

Little did he know that Yue Qianchou had watched countless similar movies and TV shows in his previous life. Moreover, due to his involvement in the underworld, he had learned a great deal about martial arts for better self-defense. Although he couldn't claim to be an expert in any one style, he had a broad range of knowledge, making these things a piece of cake for him. The only difference was that he now had True Essence circulating within his body.

I anticipated the enemy's move! I trained relentlessly! Old Man Bi, please don't play me for a fool! Yue Qianchou trained tirelessly with a heart full of grief and indignation, cursing inwardly, "What the hell!"

On the other hand, Ziyi was completely baffled by the contents of the Ziyi tablet. She had been looking at it all day, but still couldn't understand what it was, utterly confused and nearly going crazy. What on earth is all this stuff?! Even monkeys are involved! How is a girl supposed to practice with this?!

"That guy Yue Qianchou must have deliberately messed with me. Elder Bi's cultivation is profound, how could he possibly create something like this? Ugh! How disgusting, and there's a snake too! "Ziyi jumped out of her hiding place, ready to settle accounts with Yue Qianchou and demand the return of the original 'Beast Play' Method Formula. She didn't even consider why this Method Formula was named 'Beast Play' in the first place.

Upon finding Yue Qianchou diligently practicing his skills in the plantation, Ziyi was dumbfounded. Yue Qianchou was suddenly displaying a ferocious tiger pouncing on its prey, then a majestic eagle spreading its wings... His palm strikes were powerful and imposing, his claw strikes cunning and resounding. He was so engrossed in his training that Wangqing oblivious to her arrival. After observing for a long time, she realized it was indeed similar to what was recorded in the jade tablet.

It's true! The woman in Ziyi silently covered her face and slipped away, almost bursting into tears... On Shuntian Island, she found a relatively secluded spot, took out her jade tablet, and examined Yue Qianchou's 'Eagle Style', memorizing the energy flow. Seeing that no one was around, she gritted her teeth, spread her arms, and unleashed her slender, jade-like hands, dancing! Dancing! The way it looked... it probably didn't resemble an eagle's claw, more like a chicken's claw, but not quite!

No matter how secluded she hid on Shuntian Island, how could she escape Bi Changchun's discerning eyes? After observing silently for a while, Bi Changchun, sitting cross-legged in the main house, shook his head and sighed slightly. Compared to his disciple Yue Qianchou, this woman in Ziyi was far inferior in comprehension. He feared that even after a long period of training, she might not be able to grasp the true essence.

The more Ziyi practiced, the more awkward he felt, almost to the point of collapse. He thought to himself, "Why can't I achieve that perfect balance of form and spirit that Yue Qianchou has mastered? Could it be that Elder Bi is secretly guiding him? That must be it, otherwise, how could I be inferior to him when we're all practicing at the same time? No, I have to find Yue Qianchou to practice with, and pester him to teach me anything I don't understand..."
