Lu Xun once said: In this world, there's nothing money can't buy. If there is, it just means you don't have enough money!
Under Hao Shuai's financial assault, Yan Zhendong unprincipledly led Hao Shuai all the way to his residence. Along the way, Hao Shuai asked Yan Zhendong about the cultivation of the Golden Bell Shield Iron Cloth Shirt.
As for why Hao Shuai wasn't worried about Yan Zhendong breaking his promise? Setting aside the fact that, from the original plot, Yan Zhendong still had his own bottom line and principles, even if Yan Zhendong had no principles and wanted to renege, Hao Shuai's Psychic Power, which had already reached the intensity of ten tons, would teach him how to behave.
Even if Yan Zhendong practiced the Golden Bell Shield Iron Cloth Shirt, Hao Shuai could have kneaded him into a meatball.
Upon arriving at Yan Zhendong's residence, Yan Zhendong took a secret manual from a corner and handed it to Hao Shuai, saying, "Strictly speaking, the Golden Bell Shield Iron Cloth Shirt is divided into the Golden Bell Shield and the Iron Cloth Shirt. Both are top-tier external martial arts. When practiced to a profound level, they can make one impervious to blades and spears. You can choose one to cultivate, or if you have the energy, you can practice both."
"Cultivating the Golden Bell Shield and Iron Cloth Shirt requires the coordination of Qi cultivation methods, namely 'Tiger Roar Dragon Chant.' The Tiger Roars for the Golden Bell Shield, and the Dragon Chants for the Iron Cloth Shirt. After practicing, you also need to soak in our Yan family's unique medicinal bath. Without the medicinal bath, you might end up crippled or even dead."
Good heavens, it's that complicated, and it even requires a medicinal bath. Hao Shuai had been wondering why Yan Zhendong kept the secret manual at home instead of hiding it, fearing it would be stolen. Turns out, the manual wasn't the important part; the crucial element was the Yan family's unique medicinal bath formula!
Yan Zhendong didn't hide anything and directly wrote down the formula for the unique medicinal bath for Hao Shuai. He also explained some cultivation precautions and told Hao Shuai that he could come to him anytime if he encountered difficulties or had questions during his practice.
After receiving the formula, Hao Shuai immediately gave Yan Zhendong another piece of gold. This was enough for him to open his martial arts school and live a comfortable life with his wife and children.
After leaving Yan Zhendong's house, Hao Shuai entered a deserted alley and disappeared.
In the Night Shift World
Hao Shuai's figure appeared in the villa. He first paused the time in the Wong Fei Hung World and then walked around the villa. Finding no one inside, he knew that Jinguguji Narumi and the others were at the hospital. He called Fujisawa Ako, asking her to return to the villa, then took out a bottle of soda and watched TV.
When Fujisawa Ako returned to the villa, Hao Shuai, without a word, hugged her and took her to the room, delivering the ammunition he had accumulated for half a month to her. Afterward, he took out the medicinal bath formula and said, "Follow the formula, buy as much as you can. The older the medicinal ingredients, the better."
The reason he entrusted this task to Fujisawa Ako was that her family owned a pharmaceutical company, allowing them to quickly gather the medicinal ingredients Hao Shuai needed.
Hao Shuai spent several days in the villa with Fujisawa Ako and the other girls, indulging in their company until the medicinal ingredients were collected and stored in his spatial inventory. Only then did he return to the Wong Fei Hung World. As he left, he instructed Fujisawa Ako to continue collecting medicinal ingredients.
Upon returning to the Wong Fei Hung World, Hao Shuai first went to a real estate agency and bought the house next to Baozhilin. After tidying it up and moving in, Hao Shuai took out the secret manual and began to study it. After carefully reviewing the manual, he followed Yan Zhendong's instructions, stretched his muscles and bones, and then began to practice the 'Tiger Roar Dragon Chant' through breathing and meditation, standing in a horse stance.
After finishing his practice, he drew a hot bath and, following the formula, threw the medicinal ingredients into the tub. He then took off his clothes and stepped into the bathtub, slowly sitting down.
The medicinal bath required enduring not only the scalding hot water but also the pain of the medicinal effects penetrating the body.
This pain was like being cut by countless sharp blades all over his body. While not as severe as being sliced into a thousand pieces, it was still unbearable for ordinary people.
Fortunately, Hao Shuai's mental strength had greatly increased, and his tolerance for pain had also significantly improved, allowing him to endure this suffering.
After the medicinal effects in the tub subsided, Hao Shuai got up, rinsed himself with cold water, and went to sleep.
The next day, Hao Shuai woke up early, finished his martial arts practice, and after washing up, went to Thirteenth Aunt's place. Learning that Thirteenth Aunt was moving to Baozhilin today, he offered to help her move her luggage and visit Wong Fei Hung at the same time.
By the time they had moved all the luggage to Baozhilin, it was almost noon.
Seeing that it was close to lunchtime, Wong Fei Hung invited Hao Shuai to stay for lunch at Baozhilin. Hao Shuai politely declined for a while before accepting.
When they sat down for the meal, Hao Shuai noticed that Wong Fei Hung's eldest disciple, Chiu Pork Wing, was not present. He learned that Chiu Pork Wing usually sold pork outside and didn't live at Baozhilin, only coming over for martial arts practice.
After the meal, Hao Shuai formally proposed to Wong Fei Hung that he take him as a disciple. Wong Fei Hung hesitated and asked curiously, "I observe that you already have a solid foundation in National Martial Arts, likely at the peak of Ming Jin. Why do you still wish to become my disciple?"
Wong Fei Hung had no objections to Hao Shuai seeking discipleship with existing skills. He himself was not someone with rigid sect prejudices; otherwise, he wouldn't have served as the chief instructor for the militia, spreading his martial arts, and later accepting Leung Kwan as a disciple.
"Master Wong, my primary reason for seeking discipleship is to absorb knowledge from all sources, to continuously improve myself by learning different National Martial Arts, and ultimately to forge my own path. Furthermore, Master Wong, you are skilled in both medicine and martial arts, and I wish to learn medicine from you to gain a practical skill for self-preservation," Hao Shuai explained.
"Fei Hung, you should accept Hao Shuai as your disciple," Thirteenth Aunt added from the side.
"Very well, I officially accept you as my disciple, ranking fourth," Wong Fei Hung agreed.
Upon hearing Wong Fei Hung's agreement to take him as a disciple, Hao Shuai immediately knelt on one knee, holding a cup of tea with both hands, and said, "Master, please have some tea."
While offering the tea, Hao Shuai thought to himself: After drinking this cup of tea, you are my master. But once I win over Thirteenth Aunt, won't you have to call me Uncle Thirteenth Aunt? Then, in terms of seniority, I'll be higher than you.
After the tea ceremony, Wong Fei Hung introduced Hao Shuai to his three senior disciples: Ling Wan Kai, and Yat Che So, who had a slight stutter. The eldest disciple, Chiu Pork Wing, was not at Baozhilin and would be introduced later.
Afterward, Wong Fei Hung suggested that Hao Shuai move into Baozhilin to live together. Hao Shuai declined, saying, "Master, I have already bought a house next door to Baozhilin. I will come here during the day to study medicine and practice martial arts, and then go back to sleep at night. However, I will still trouble you for my three meals a day."
After speaking, Hao Shuai took out money and gave it to Yat Che So, stating it was for food expenses.
Wong Fei Hung, being the person he was, naturally refused, but after Hao Shuai's repeated insistence, he finally reluctantly accepted it.
Early the next morning, Hao Shuai arrived at Baozhilin. After having breakfast with everyone, Wong Fei Hung took Hao Shuai to the backyard and officially began teaching him National Martial Arts.
"Today, I will first teach you the Tiger-Shaped Tiger Subduing Fist. It is the foundational fist technique of my Hongmen sect. Although it is foundational, it includes the essence of single and double Tiger-Shaped Tiger Subduing fists and Tiger-Shaped Tiger Subduing fists with single and double stances. It is the most suitable fist technique for beginners and the foundation for practicing other fist techniques in the future! Ah Shuai, since you sincerely wish to learn martial arts, you must watch carefully."
Wong Fei Hung said this while looking at Hao Shuai standing beside him. As soon as he finished speaking, Wong Fei Hung tucked his robe into his waist, rolled up his sleeves, assumed a starting stance, and then performed the movements one by one for Hao Shuai.
"The key points of the Tiger-Shaped Tiger Subduing Fist are: stable waist and stance, strong bridge hands, tight techniques, and orderly advances and retreats."
Although it was just a demonstration, and a basic set of martial arts at that, Wong Fei Hung, a martial arts Grandmaster who had reached the Hua Jin realm, performed even this basic martial art with formidable power. Every punch and kick carried a fierce fist energy, causing the air to whistle. Hao Shuai was mesmerized.
"Hoo! Alright, how was it, Ah Shuai? Did you see clearly?" Soon, after finishing the set of movements, Wong Fei Hung stopped, took a breath, and then asked Hao Shuai, who was watching beside him.
"My memory is quite good, Master. I've probably remembered about seventy to eighty percent," Hao Shuai replied truthfully.
"Seventy to eighty percent? Come, try practicing it. If there's anything wrong, I'll correct you." Wong Fei Hung asked Hao Shuai to demonstrate.
"Yes, Master!"
Hao Shuai nodded, stepped forward, recalling Wong Fei Hung's movements, and slowly practiced each move.
"Wait a moment, here, your right foot needs to be a bit further forward, and your left knee needs to be a bit lower."
"Stop, the elbow movement in this move needs to be raised a bit higher."
"For this punch..."
