Stone Village Gets on Track
Stone Village is different from other human villages. The villagers have lived on the edge of the Great Wilderness since childhood, frequently hunting and making a living primarily through hunting. Furthermore, under the leadership of their Clan Chief, Shi Yunfeng, the villagers undergo Medicinal Bath to temper their bodies, making them far stronger than many others. However, they lack the essential techniques for body tempering.
Ye Feng's arrival has given them new hope.
Once everyone in Stone Village has mastered the Eight Gates Technique, Stone Village will reach a point in the future that they themselves dare not even imagine.
"Brother Ye Feng, please teach me how to identify meridians!" Stone Skin Monkey said excitedly.
"Do you have pen and ink?" Ye Feng asked Shi Yunfeng.
"No. We don't have such things in our village. People who can read and write do so by writing directly on the ground," Shi Yunfeng replied.
"I see!" Ye Feng pondered. To teach the people of Stone Village how to identify meridians, he needed a pen and ink. Otherwise, it would be too tiring for him to teach them one by one.
If the Meridian Diagram is drawn up, and then the villagers are taught the Eight Gates Technique, then they will know how to open the eight gates within their bodies. For Ye Feng, it's simply a matter of drawing the Meridian Diagram and teaching the Eight Gates Technique. This job is easy.
Ye Feng looked around.
The Stone Village is surrounded by cliffs. Some of these cliffs are very smooth, forming a flat surface.
Ye Feng walked to Shi Yunfeng's side and said, "Clan Chief, may I borrow your cane?"
Without hesitation, Shi Yunfeng handed his cane to Ye Feng. This cane was the scepter of Stone Village, crafted from the bones of an extremely hard, Primordial Remnant. Forged using secret techniques, it was incredibly durable.
Ye Feng, holding a cane, leaped among the protrusions on the ground, climbing to the foot of the cliff. Then, with a single step, he soared into the air, reaching a height of tens of meters.
As Ye Feng descended, his cane embedded itself in the stone wall. With each fall, a conspicuous scratch was left on the rock. Occasionally, he would brace his feet against the wall to change his trajectory, leaving arc-shaped scratches on the stone.
About three hours later, Ye Feng finally finished drawing on the stone wall. Four people were drawn on the stone wall.
"This is a diagram of the human body's meridians. The two diagrams on the left are for men, and the two diagrams on the right are for women. Those fine lines are veins. You can find your own corresponding meridians," Ye Feng said.
"Is this the Eight Gates Formation? It's amazing! The lines are like rivers." Shi Hao couldn't help but mutter to himself.
river?
The meridians are viewed as mountains and rivers.
Ye Feng sighed inwardly, realizing that Shi Hao's talent was indeed extraordinary.
The meridians are like rivers; those who can grasp this understanding are not far from mastering the power of the laws.
"This isn't the Eight Gates Formation. It's just a simple diagram of the human body's meridians. What I'm about to teach you is the true Eight Gates Formation. Remember, unless your physique is strong enough, you must not open the later gates beyond your current level. Otherwise, your body will collapse because it can't withstand the power. Remember, the eighth gate of the Eight Gates Formation, once opened, will burn your life force. Never open the eighth gate unless absolutely necessary," Ye Feng earnestly instructed.
Next, Ye Feng passed on the entire Eight Gates Technique to Shi Yunfeng and Shi Hao. Shi Yunfeng and Shi Hao then passed it on to the adults and children. Ye Feng wasn't foolish enough to personally teach everyone in Stone Village; that would be far too exhausting.
The next day, as Chen Xi broke, all things shone with light.
The Stone Village was bustling with activity. People of all ages and genders participated in the morning exercise.
"Keep going, keep trying, strain when you poop."
"Let's run five hundred laps around the village, let's go!"
"Five hundred push-ups, let's go."
"Five hundred sit-ups, let's get started."
"Let's climb up and down the mountain five hundred times."
"Walk 500 meters upside down, let's begin."
"Last item, weightlifting, let's go!"
One after another, things that ordinary people could hardly accomplish were happening in Stone Village.
This was the first day of training, and some of the children hadn't completed their tasks. Even some of the weaker ones hadn't finished. Even the Clan Chief, Shi Yunfeng, had beads of sweat on his forehead after completing all the training. He sat on a protruding rock on the ground, breathing slightly heavily.
"Brother Ye Feng, will we be able to learn the Eight Gates Technique like this?" Stone Skin Monkey harbored a strong desire to become stronger. He longed to go hunting outside the village with his father, to share the burdens of his family and Stone Village.
"Of course not," Ye Feng replied.
Stone Skin Monkey was originally a few years older than Ye Feng. Ye Feng was stronger than Stone Skin Monkey and taught them the Meridian Diagram and the Eight Gates Technique. Stone Skin Monkey respected Ye Feng, so he respectfully called Ye Feng "Brother Ye Feng".
In Stone Village, not only Stone Skin Monkey, but all the other children of Ye Feng's generation call Ye Feng Brother Ye Feng.
"Then what else needs to be done?" the Stone Skin Monkey asked with concern.
"Medicinal Bath, and drinking animal blood and eating animal meat," Ye Feng replied.
"Eating counts as building physical strength?" Stone Skin Monkey asked skeptically, listening to Ye Feng's words. He often ate animal meat and didn't believe that it could make a person stronger.
"Of course. Beast blood and meat contain the essence of energy left behind by Ferocious Beast. The higher the level of the Ferocious Beast, especially some Primordial Remnant, the better it is to drink their blood and eat their meat for strengthening the body." Ye Feng glanced at the Stone Skin Monkey, secretly sighing that they were truly unaware of their good fortune. Each time they took Medicinal Bath, they howled in pain. In fact, that was the truly rare cultivation resource in the early stages.
"Brother Ye Feng, how do you know these things? Even Clan Chief doesn't know them?" Stone Skin Monkey asked curiously.
"The meridian diagrams were sealed in my memory. A few days ago, I unlocked those memories and they came back to me," Ye Feng answered truthfully. He wasn't from Stone Village. Everyone in Stone Village knew that. This was a mysterious and Perfect World, and no outsider would find anything wrong with Ye Feng's answer to Stone Skin Monkey.
"Do you know where you come from?" the Stone Skin Monkey asked with concern.
"I've only recovered a small portion of my memories," Ye Feng nodded slightly.
"Brother Ye Feng, no matter where you come from, Stone Village will always be your home," said Stone Skin Monkey.
"Alright, let's continue training. After we finish, I will teach you the Heavenly Dragon Monkey Treasure Technique. It's a Body Techniques, most suitable for you to practice." Ye Feng smiled.
After the training ended, Shi Yunfeng divided the Medicinal Bath group into two teams: one for men and one for women. The women tempered their bodies in a cave, while the men tempered their bodies in Medicinal Bath in another cave. Under Ye Feng's leadership, Stone Village gradually got back on track.
