Myriad Victory Embracing Oneness!
Luck is a very dangerous thing, and also a very difficult thing.
Children from respectable Aristocratic Clan who have the means will typically choose to first learn a simple, balanced, and moderate Cultivation Method to build a foundation over a period of time, which they will use as a form of "childhood training."
It can take anywhere from a few months to a year, and is usually the process of Bone Barrier to Blood Barrier.
The "Circulating Qi Inscription" is just like this. This method makes the breath upright and extremely peaceful. There is no need to worry about Qi Deviation or harming the lungs and internal organs.
The only drawback is that it only has one advantage: peace. Against the scions of the Aristocratic Clan families, unless they are born with exceptional Root Bone, they are almost always destined to be crushed.
The Cultivation Method that Yang Dongxiong is passing on today is the real deal!
"The true ' Myriad Victory Art ' has long been lost, and only the ' Hundred Battles Art ' remains today. However, the world is so vast, and heroes are as numerous as carp crossing a river."
People leave their images as they pass by, and geese leave their calls as they fly by. Ge Jiantai, the Daoist master of Louguan Platform, had already innovated and, based on the "Hundred Battles Art," reversed the "Ten Thousand Victories Merit," obtaining a few parts of the Ten Myriad Victory Art Victories style, and named it "Lesser Myriad Victory Art."
He then combined it with the Daoist Cultivation Method "Embracing Core Art" to create the "Myriad Victory Embracing Oneness" (Ten Thousand Victories Embracing the Origin) technique.
Liang Qu's spirits lifted.
Louguan Platform! One of the Five Great True Lineages in the world, its lineage continued unbroken for generations of dynasties.
Of course, the Da Shun dynasty was so powerful that even the true lineages had to rely on the Da Shun's influence, and would be wiped out in a fight. However, when it came to the profoundness of their lineages, it must be said that the Five Great True Lineages were quite something.
To become the Dao Master, one must naturally be the strongest person in Louguan Platform, possessing not only formidable strength but also profound knowledge.
Although Da Shun copied many good things from the Five Great True Lineages, almost emptying them out, knowledge cannot be acquired simply by placing a few books there.
The content in books is static; ultimately, it depends on the person.
Some people can solve problems right away by reading a calculus textbook and apply what they've learned to other problems, while others can't learn even with hands-on instruction.
Many Daoist classics require extensive study and practice from a young age to gain true understanding, let alone innovate and create Cultivation Method.
"The Da Shun of Da Great Qian by Da Qian was not a smooth process. The Duke of Wei had also suffered defeats. But that very night, Master Ge entered the camp alone and talked with the Duke of Wei for a long time. In the end, he left behind three books, one of which is this book, ' Myriad Victory Embracing Oneness '."
Later, I joined the army and served under General Wen Zhu. After I accidentally saved his life, the general took me in as his personal guard, taught me the "Myriad Victory Embracing Oneness" manual, and told me about the deeds of Master Ge. Now, thinking back, that was forty years ago.
Yang Dongxiong's thoughts were in turmoil, his eyes filled with memories.
Forty years.
How many forty-year periods does one have in a lifetime? For the poor, it's a lifetime.
After a long pause, Yang Dongxiong shook his head. "Let's not talk about that anymore. Now that you have reached the Bone Barrier and are about to Breaking Blood Barrier, I will pass on this ' Myriad Victory Embracing Oneness ' to you."
Liang Qu knelt down and kowtowed three times. "Please, Master, pass on your skills."
"There's no need for that, get up quickly."
Yang Dongxiong helped Liang Qu up, said no more, and formally passed on his skills.
"The core of ' Myriad Victory Embracing Oneness ' lies in maintaining one's essence, qi, and spirit, preventing them from being consumed internally or lost externally, and ensuring they remain abundant within the body over a long period, embracing the physical form as one. With one, one can unleash countless forces, creating endless waves. It also has the effects of prolonging life and repairing hidden injuries."
Ordinary Hunting Tiger do not prey on external objects and have a lifespan of about 120 or 130 years. Your master is likely to live to around 140.
"That's great! "Liang Qu's eyes lit up.
Who doesn't like things that extend lifespan?
"Calm down! Listen carefully!"
Liang Qu sat upright.
"Do not exhaust your strength internally, do not let your energy escape externally, Inner Vision with your eyes wide open, use your heart to understand the inner principles, let the Yin and Yang reflect back to the Yang, and you will find the essential Dao within. It is like a fire that illuminates the inside but not the outside, so that it may endure without chaos."
By the time Liang Qu had memorized the entire Qi circulation route and the Mnemonic, a considerable amount of time had passed.
"You come from a fisherman's background, so you should understand the principle that Water Movement the current requires all your strength, and that a moment of slackening will send you plummeting back a thousand fathoms. I hope you will guard against arrogance and impatience, and persevere in this practice, and you will never change your ways."
"Thank you, Master, for passing on your skills! This disciple will strive to do my best!"
Liang Qu felt the "Myriad Victory Embracing Oneness" flowing within his body, which was far superior to the "Circulating Qi Inscription".
Even if he has only learned it for a short time, when he exerts his strength in combat, it is probably stronger than the "Circulating Qi Inscription" he has practiced for two or three months. The accompanying Dharma Gate of circulating energy is also extraordinary, with the release and release of Qi and Blood being significantly faster and with a greater increase.
It's as if he's been given a completely new kernel driver, one that still has a lot of room for improvement.
The cultivation levels alone include four stages: focusing the Spirit-Settling Inner Vision, Preserving Spirit, Gale Refinement, each progressively deeper and more profound.
However, he has only just learned it and hasn't even mastered the first level of Spirit-Settling yet; he still needs time to work through it.
Seeing that Liang Qu had no other questions, Yang Dongxiong waved his hand and said, "It's getting late. You're in charge of the River Conservancy Office, so you should go soon."
He was a clerk, a rather leisurely position.
Furthermore, the River Conservancy Office is not under local jurisdiction but is vertically managed by the River Conservancy General Office. There is no performance evaluation, so there is little difference between him going or not going.
Liang Qu is no good; he's not qualified enough.
Upon hearing this, Liang Qu bowed again, left the garden, and went to the stable. Just then, Red Mountain finished feeding the horse, mounted it, and rode off towards the wharf.
I overheard pedestrians talking about the Demon Subduing Division.
"The Demon Subduing Division Bureau has arrived too?"
Upon hearing this, Liang Qu realized the truth and stopped someone to inquire carefully. He then learned that the people from the Demon Subduing Division had arrived before dawn that day, almost one after the people from the River Conservancy Office, and had brought a large group of people with them.
The office was not located near the Jiang Huai River like the River Conservancy Office, but in the southwest corner of Ping Yang County.
With a large population, there are more Martial Artist, making everything more convenient. You won't have to go to three or four pharmacies just to buy some medicine.
The consequence is that the popularity and Blood Qi are too strong, which will attract many mountain spirits and monsters.
A single field mouse won't attract a wolf, but a group of field mice, especially one that's huge and fat, could tempt even a lion or tiger passing by.
Besides mountain spirits and monsters, the Demon Subduing Division also deals with evil people who practice unorthodox Cultivation Method.
However, none of these matters concern the River and River Conservancy Office River Conservancy Office only handles matters related to waterways.
The wharf was bustling with activity, with many large ships docked and a constant stream of porters carrying goods. The teahouses were especially lively, with many weary porters tossing down a copper coin and gulping down a whole pot of tea to relieve the fatigue of the morning.
The goods on board were sold and replenished along the way, and came from all sorts of places.
Liang Qu looked through it once and saw many novel things, which broadened his horizons.
For example, there is a small bowl shaped like a lotus leaf. The whole shape is like a leaf, with a concave middle and a hollow stem at the very edge. The bottom connects to the bottom of the bowl, forming a natural straw, which is specially used for drinking milk or yogurt. It is called a Lotus-Suction Cup.
There are countless novel things like this.
The Red Mountain Dragon Blood Horse was a gift from the Emperor, making it quite unique among the other people with connections. As soon as Liang Qu arrived at the ship, he was recognized and, after his identity was verified, he was taken aboard the ship.
I saw Xu Yuelong yesterday, but he wasn't registered, so it wasn't a proper registration.
Once aboard the boat, before Liang Qu could even get a proper look, he was pulled away by Ran Zhongshi, who came out from behind the boat.
Ran Zhongshi clearly anticipated Liang Qu's arrival and waited for him early. He personally led him into the ship's cabin to register, collect his clothes and standard weapons, as well as a monthly salary and a token.
Holding a bag of twelve taels of silver, Liang Qu was a little embarrassed. "This, this isn't right, is it? Am I supposed to receive my monthly salary on my first day here? Isn't it paid at the beginning of each month?"
Ran Zhongshi's expression was quite friendly. "Hey, what does it matter? Once we're on the ship, we're all family. It's just a monthly salary, whether it's paid early or late, it's all the same. Besides, look, is anyone on the ship today?"
Liang Qu recalled that, although he hadn't looked closely, there were indeed only some soldiers left on the ship.
Why is that?
The office of the River Conservancy Office Management Bureau hasn't even been built yet, where can they go?
Ran Zhongshi sneered, "Those people, the shady ones go to Painted Boat and brothels, the more respectable ones buy houses and stay in inns. Who wants to live on a ship? The people you can see, those above the seventh rank, all have some kind of background. They don't care about that little bit of monthly salary at all. They mostly exchange their merits for pills, Cultivation Method, and Treasure Artifact."
It doesn't matter if my monthly salary is a little higher or lower. I wouldn't mind if you got an extra month's pay, or even two or three months' pay.
So, only I, a country bumpkin, care about this meager salary? Liang Qu's lips twitched.
"Since no one's around, I'll take you on a tour of the ship and show you around, explaining the ship's layout and your duties."
