Yan Zhen's Worries, Reflecting Sun Breathing Method, Sunbathing?

Lin Changsheng discovered that after the Moonlight Breathing Method reached Great Perfection, the internal force in his dantian had grown to the size of a fist and could travel through the meridians of his entire body at his command.

It could even be contained within the force of his palms.

Lin Changsheng circulated his internal force and struck a wooden stool with his palm, releasing the force.

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, several cracks immediately spread across the stool.

"Not bad. Internal force alone has such power. If it hit a person, and the internal force erupted... wouldn't it cripple their internal organs?"

"Then wouldn't the Second-Rate Realm be even stronger?"

Lin Changsheng was quite satisfied as he looked at the result of that palm strike.

At the same time, he looked forward even more to reaching the Second-Rate Realm.

The noodle shop reopened on the tenth day of the month.

Lin Changsheng still went to work.

He planned to resign once he learned the Reflecting Sun Breathing Method and advanced to the Second-Rate Realm.

Although the Moonlight Breathing Method gained experience simply by bathing in moonlight, cultivation itself could also increase experience. His goal was to improve his strength, so he could not put the cart before the horse.

"Sister Zhen, what's wrong? Is something the matter?"

At noon, when the noodle shop closed, Lin Changsheng looked at Yan Zhen and casually asked.

He remembered that Ma Zhankui, a wealthy man from East Street, had designs on Sister Zhen. Although she had been released, he did not believe Ma Zhankui had given up.

"Changsheng, I'm fine. Maybe I just didn't sleep well last night."

Yan Zhen revealed a faint smile on her lovely face.

"Alright, as long as you're fine."

Lin Changsheng nodded. He still had to go to the Iron Hand Martial School.

Pasture City.

East Street.

Welcome Inn.

"Who exactly took that thing?"

A thin man in green robes with a pale face sat in a second-floor guest room, his face filled with frustration.

Ling Ziyu had ambushed Gao Yang for the thing on Gao Yang's person.

Although Gao Yang had desperately injured him, he had also been poisoned by the Blood Spider Poison and was surely doomed. Ling Ziyu had tracked him all the way, yet after arriving only a few hours late, the item had been taken.

"Damn it!"

"That thing has delayed me for so many days! Once I find out who did it, I'll grind your bones to dust and scatter your ashes!"

Ling Ziyu was practically gritting his teeth.

He hated the person who had buried Gao Yang to the very marrow.

Pasture City.

Inside a manor of the Green Snake Gang, in the main hall.

Two people lay atop wooden boards, both with shattered skulls. They had clearly been dead for quite some time.

"Gang Leader Ma, these injuries were indeed caused by Iron Sand Palm at Great Perfection. However, my martial school has no conflict of interest with your two subordinates. There was no reason for us to do this..."

"Could it have been a martial arts expert from elsewhere who cultivates Iron Sand Palm?"

An elderly man with unusually large hands, a tall and sturdy build, and a steady, profound aura looked at the injuries on the two bodies and frowned.

This old man was none other than He Tieshou, master of the Iron Hand Martial School.

"That is possible!"

Ma Zhankui's expression remained unchanged as he nodded. "Thank you for your trouble, Master He. I'll investigate further."

"Very well. Then this old man shall take his leave."

He Tieshou cupped his fists toward Ma Zhankui, then departed with several martial school disciples.

"Old fox, if it wasn't your martial school, then ghosts did it! One day, I'll have your martial school erased from Pasture City!"

Watching He Tieshou's departing back, Ma Zhankui's expression suddenly turned incomparably dark.

Iron Hand Martial School.

At the training grounds, before the sandbags.

"Changsheng, your Iron Sand Palm has reached the Entry Stage?!"

"Your aptitude is not bad! Since you've reached the Entry Stage, you can learn a Breathing Method and become an official disciple. I'll take you there!"

When Instructor Zhang saw the Entry Stage Iron Sand Palm displayed by Lin Changsheng, a look of surprise immediately appeared in his eyes.

Reaching the Entry Stage in Iron Sand Palm within a month counted as above-average aptitude.

"Then thank you, Uncle Zhang."

Lin Changsheng cupped his fists toward Instructor Zhang.

"He reached the Entry Stage in one month! I'm so jealous!"

"Tomorrow will mark three months since I started, and I still haven't reached the Entry Stage. Sigh!"

"You have it better than me. I've already paid silver three times!"

"..."

The disciples around them who were cultivating Iron Sand Palm began discussing animatedly when they heard that Lin Changsheng had reached the Entry Stage in a month, their voices full of envy and jealousy.

"The Reflecting Sun Breathing Method is best cultivated at dawn, when the rising sun first emerges. Through breathing exercises, you absorb the qi of the morning sun and refine it into internal force!"

"You only need to follow the movements and mnemonics I taught you, then cultivate diligently and persistently!"

Instructor Liu, who taught the Reflecting Sun Breathing Method, spoke to Lin Changsheng.

"Thank you, Instructor Liu!"

Lin Changsheng thanked Instructor Liu Zhengming, then began cultivating according to the Reflecting Sun Breathing Method.

At that moment.

The sun was blazing. Lin Changsheng only felt scorching heat throughout his body. As he circulated the Reflecting Sun Breathing Method, it seemed as though every pore on his body had opened!

[Martial arts cultivation method Reflecting Sun Breathing Method discovered. Spend 2 taels of silver to simplify it?]

At that moment, Lin Changsheng saw a red notification flash across the panel in the corner of his vision.

"Hmm?"

"It's already showing that I've reached the Entry Stage? Great!"

Seeing the notification, Lin Changsheng's eyes immediately lit up. Without drawing attention, he asked Instructor Liu for leave and turned to head home.

He had not brought any silver with him.

If he wanted to simplify it, he had to return home.

Half an hour later.

Lin Changsheng's courtyard.

Standing beneath a jujube tree, Lin Changsheng held 2 taels of silver in his hand and selected the confirmation button on the panel.

Less than sixty breaths after Lin Changsheng confirmed it, another notification appeared on the panel.

"Hmm?"

"After simplification, the Reflecting Sun Breathing Method became sunbathing? I can gain experience just by basking in the sun? This... is fucking incredible!"

Seeing the display on the panel, Lin Changsheng's eyes lit up.

Sunbathing could not be any easier!

At that moment, the sun was shining perfectly overhead.

"Let's try basking in it first!"

Lin Changsheng walked to an unobstructed spot and let the sunlight fall over his body. He discovered that the Reflecting Sun Breathing Method gained 1 point of experience in almost three breaths.

[Great Dao Made Simple: Level 1]

[Lin Changsheng: 16/55]

[Cultivation: Third-Rate Realm (499/500)]

[Techniques: Moonlight Breathing Method (Great Perfection 7809/12500), Reflecting Sun Breathing Method (Entry Stage 13/100)]

[Martial arts: Arrow Technique (Grand Perfection), Iron Sand Palm (Grand Perfection)]

[Spend a certain amount of silver to simplify cultivation methods, martial skills, and more.]

[Status: Yin Energy Invasion]

"Cultivation has been simplified into ordinary sunbathing! This feels amazing!"

"Cultivating this Reflecting Sun Breathing Method makes my whole body feel warm! If I cultivate it to Grand Perfection, will my Yin Energy Invasion disappear?"

Feeling the changes in his body, Lin Changsheng's eyes lit up with boundless anticipation.

East Street.

Yan Zhen's home.

"Yan Zhen, I spent 100 taels of silver to get you out. My silver cannot be wasted. Either marry me as a concubine, or keep me company for one month! Choose for yourself!"

"I'll give you three days to consider it!"

Yan Zhen, slender and graceful in plain cloth garments that could not hide her delicate, small-family beauty, sat at the doorway with deep worry in her beautiful eyes. Ma Zhankui had just come and delivered his final ultimatum.

"What should I do?"

Grief filled Yan Zhen's eyes as she buried her head against her knees, her fragrant shoulders trembling.

"That Ma Zhankui truly has not given up. He actually dared to force Sister Zhen!"

More than twenty zhang away, Lin Changsheng watched Yan Zhen weeping softly, and his gaze turned cold.

He had originally come to tell Sister Zhen that he was resigning.

He had not expected to witness Ma Zhankui delivering an ultimatum to Sister Zhen.

He needed to cultivate the Reflecting Sun Breathing Method during the day and the Moonlight Breathing Method at night, so he would no longer have time for the noodle shop. Besides, he had more than thirty taels of silver obtained from Gao Yang. Naturally, strength had to come first.
