Tai Chi

The Old Scholar Tree looked at the Water Ghost and slowly said:

"I can't open too many meridians for him at once. I'll start by opening the Ren meridian, the Du meridian, and several main meridians in his limbs."

"Once these key meridians are opened, he will be able to break through his current training bottleneck and his skill level will increase significantly."

"After that, I slowly infused the medicinal power of ginseng and other rare and precious herbs into his body."

Let's test how much of the drug he can tolerate; this can be considered an experiment.

Zhou Wanwan, who was listening nearby, couldn't help but ask, "What if the experiment fails?"

The Old Scholar Tree smiled and swayed its roots, soothingly saying:

"Don't worry, it's not a big deal even if it doesn't succeed."

At most, he'll need to rest for a month or two to recover; it won't endanger his life.

Zhou Wanwan finally felt relieved and nodded, saying, "Then you can begin!"

The Water Ghost sat on the ground, and the Old Scholar Tree stretched out its thin roots, slowly approaching the Water Ghost's body.

The tree roots seeped into his body little by little, gradually and forcefully helping him break through the blocked meridians.

It then continuously channeled the prepared ginseng and various rare and precious medicinal herbs into the Water Ghost's body through the tree roots, helping him nourish his meridians and absorb the medicinal power.

At first, the Water Ghost only felt a swelling and numbness in its body, with a slight pain in its meridians.

As the medicine took effect, the pain gradually disappeared, and my whole body felt warm and comfortable.

A few hours later, the Old Scholar Tree slowly retracted its roots.

The Water Ghost suddenly opened its eyes, stretched its limbs, and its face was full of surprise:

"I feel incredibly comfortable inside, and my whole body is full of energy."

The flow of Qi in my meridians is exceptionally smooth, and my skill level has truly increased significantly!

"Now, if I encounter an opponent ranked below 400 on the Heavenly Demon Ranking, I have nothing to fear; I can completely contend with them!"

Zhou Wanwan looked at the Water Ghost and said:

Is it really that powerful?

Uncle Scholar Tree, does that mean all of us below can use this method to improve our skills?

The Old Scholar Tree said calmly:

"This method of unblocking meridians and acupoints does not work for everyone; it is effective for only a very few people."

For ordinary soldiers, at most they can only open one or two acupoints.

If they drive too much, their bodies can't handle it, and they might develop problems or even injure themselves.

Zhou Wanwan looked directly at the Old Scholar Tree and said, "Why don't we try me first?"

The Old Scholar Tree quickly shook its head. "Using you to test it is unsuitable, the risk is too great. Let's try it on ordinary soldiers first!"

Zhou Wanwan shook her head, her attitude very firm:

"No need, I'll try it first. Only by trying it myself can I know for sure whether this method will work or not."

You'll also know how to help others afterwards.

The Old Scholar Tree couldn't refuse her, so it nodded in agreement and gave her some instructions:

"Right now, you can only open the Baihui acupoint. Only by opening this one can you ensure your absolute safety and prevent damage to your foundation."

Even if I were to administer the power of rare and precious medicinal herbs, it would only be a tiny amount, and your skill level would only increase slightly.

It won't make you incredibly powerful all at once, but it will make you physically stronger, more powerful, and quicker to react than the average person.

Zhou Wanwan nodded. To put it bluntly, this method is like pulling up seedlings to help them grow; if you pull too much, it will backfire.

The Old Scholar Tree directly helped her open up her Baihui acupoint, and she did feel refreshed.

The Old Scholar Tree nodded and asked, "How do you feel?"

Zhou Wanwan practiced Tai Chi once and said:

"Great, it's very comfortable."

But it's only slightly better than before; there's no other special change.

The Old Scholar Tree laughed and said:

"We can't be too impatient when practicing martial arts. Let's take it slowly!"

However, your boxing technique just now was quite good.

Zhou Wanwan said with a smile:

"Tai Chi is certainly good, and I plan to teach this style of boxing to the people in our village."

This set of boxing techniques appears slow and gentle, lacking strength and dominance.

However, it emphasizes using softness to overcome hardness and borrowing force to strike, requiring little effort while also strengthening the body and regulating one's breathing.

This is perfect for everyone in our village, young and old, to learn together.

The Old Scholar Tree nodded and gathered all the people in the village who were learning kung fu.

Gu Sinian looked at Zhou Wanwan and asked, "What are you trying to do?"

Zhou Wanwan smiled and said, "It's about helping you open up your acupoints so that your kung fu can reach a higher level."

Gu Sinian nodded and sat down with her eyes closed.

The Old Scholar Tree had a very developed root system, with thousands, or even tens of thousands of roots, which quickly penetrated into the bodies of those people.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the roots of the Old Scholar Tree had opened all the acupoints that everyone could.

Gu Sinian performed a set of boxing techniques and said, "I do feel much stronger than before."

Zhou Qingyan nodded and said, "I just feel much lighter and more comfortable, but otherwise, I don't feel anything particularly special."

Zhou Qingchen chimed in, "It really feels comfortable."

Zhou Qinghe couldn't help but say, "Are we going to become martial arts masters?"

Zhou Wanwan chuckled:

"You're overthinking it. We're only slightly better than the average person right now."

Compared to those martial arts masters, they are still far from being good enough!

Zhou Qingchen laughed and said, "Anyway, we'll be participating in the imperial examinations in the future, not the martial arts examinations, so we don't need to become martial arts masters."

Zhou Qingyan smiled faintly and said:

"Our main purpose is to improve our health."

Since I started practicing martial arts, I've rarely gotten sick, which I think is pretty good.

I'll have my parents practice together another day.

Zhou Wanwan strongly agrees:

"I just wanted to teach them Tai Chi, this style of boxing is excellent."

"How about I draw this set of boxing techniques down, and then I'll leave this task to you."

Zhou Qingyan nodded and said, "No need, you can teach us a few times, and we'll get it. Then we'll teach our parents."

Zhou Wanwan is usually too busy and rarely home, so let's leave this task to them!

Zhou Wanwan taught them Tai Chi several times, and Gu Sinian quickly learned it.

Zhou Wanwan looked at Gu Sinian and said, "Brother Sinian's imitation is perfect; his movements are the most standard."

Zhou Qinghe said helplessly:

"He's simply a monster. He learns everything so fast. You don't even know the Four Books and Five Classics, but he's already memorized them all."

He has already begun studying the three commentaries on the Spring and Autumn Annals, the three Rites, and the Erya.

Seeing these things gives me a terrible headache.

Zhou Wanwan couldn't help but laugh out loud. These things were indeed very difficult, and she was also memorizing them, which was quite painful for her.

Zhou Wanwan smiled and said, "By the way, I found a lot of jewelry when I went to Heavenly Demon City this time. It's really beautiful. You should take it and give it to your sister-in-law!"

Who would believe it!

The richest person in their family is Zhou Wanwan; even these gold and silver jewelry pieces were provided by Zhou Wanwan.

Zheng Xing'an took out more than a dozen kinds of hairpins, all of which were taken from Princess Liuli's storeroom.
