The Villain's Counterattack

Chapter 119: Adult Thoughts on Journey

"Xiao Wuji's internal coldness has reached its limit due to external forces. It would be best if Grandmaster taught him the Wudang Nine Yang Kung Fu as soon as possible. The sooner he starts treatment, the sooner he will recover. I will prepare medicinal baths and medicinal diets for him. We will work together internally and externally to restore his health so that he can begin practicing the Iron Shirt as soon as possible. Actually, I don't quite agree with Xiao Wuji practicing cold and yin Kung Fu. It may affect certain male functions. It is better to practice the most rigid and yang Kung Fu."

Song Qingshu's playful words made everyone laugh bitterly, but he not only proposed a way to resolve the problem, but also pointed out a way to cure it completely. Although it was not very fair, it was at least a way out, wasn't it?

Zhang Cuishan had some concerns, but Yin Susu was still a little witch at heart. She secretly made up her mind that if the critical moment really came, she would not care about so many things.

In fact, Song Qingshu already has the "Purple Cloud Divine Art". In addition to this, there is another skill that can be tried, but it is quite risky, that is the "Star Absorbing Skill". The first half of this skill is the method of dispersing the power. Not to mention the coldness in the heart, at least the coldness in the dantian is not a problem. Once the influence of the dantian is gone, practicing any skill will not be an obstacle. At that time, the martial arts will improve by leaps and bounds. As long as you are promoted to the first-class level, you will no longer be afraid of the coldness in your heart, and you will be able to expel it slowly by yourself.

"Eagle King, Grand Master, there are many strange and bizarre Kung Fu in the martial arts world. Although they may not be very powerful, they are quite magical. It is possible that some of them may be beneficial to Xiao Wuji's injury. Please collect and learn from them." Song Qingshu made his request for personal gain, but at this time, Zhang Sanfeng and White-browed Eagle King did not refuse. Instead, they felt it made sense. It was not surprising that someone who thought of letting Zhang Wuji practice "Iron Shirt" to heal his injuries had such an idea.

Movement is for training, and stillness is for cultivation. Accompanied by Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu, Zhang Wuji practiced happily every day. Although it was a little hard, he was very happy. Everyone in Wudang was very friendly and kind to him. However, there were two people who liked to tease him, namely his senior brother Song Qingshu and his junior uncle Mo Shenggu. The two of them took him to practice the "Iron Shirt", and the metallic color on their bodies made people dizzy.

Zhang Wuji was young after all, so every medicinal meal and pill Song Qingshu prepared tasted delicious, at least not too much to eat. The sensible Zhang Wuji knew what they were and always ate them up. Sometimes he would even ask if there were any more and what flavor he would like next time.

With the strong support of the Sky Eagle Sect, there was no shortage of precious medicinal materials on Wudang Mountain. Song Qingshu also adjusted the bodies of Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu, gradually eliminating the troubles caused by their long-term residence in a cold and gloomy place. Under the influence of Song Qingshu's secret addition of ingredients, Yin Susu was found to be pregnant a year and a half later.

Song Qingshu feigned innocence and sternly reprimanded Zhang Cuishan, "Though Fifth Aunt's martial arts skills are not weak, she has been in a cold and gloomy place for so long that she naturally carries a hint of coldness. Although it took a year to mostly clear it up, it's not as completely healed as when we first left. Fifth Uncle's impatience is very detrimental to the unborn child. However, the matter is done, and now she needs to recuperate more and not overwork herself."

"Pa!" Song Yuanqiao slapped Song Qingshu on the head. "I called you here to confirm whether Fifth Brother's wife is pregnant, not to teach your Fifth Uncle a lesson. You are so disrespectful."

"Father, please don't disturb me. This is a conversation between a doctor and a patient's family, not a conversation between a younger generation and an elder. Fifth Aunt is in good health. It would be best if she could rest for a year or two and have another child. Hehe, Father, let me tell you, Mother is ready now, but you are too useless. That's why you didn't give Qingshan and me another sister." After Song Qingshu finished speaking, he turned around and ran. At this time, his lightness skills were among the best in the whole Wudang Mountain. Song Yuanqiao couldn't catch up with him in a short distance.

Yin Susu became the daughter-in-law of Wudang, but she did not practice Wudang Kung Fu. She still practiced the family's internal skills. With the nourishment of Song Qingshu's medicinal food, she made considerable progress. Wudang's iconic Kung Fu naturally could not be passed on to outsiders, but the Kung Fu collected and adapted by Song Qingshu were not included. Yin Susu and Zhang Cuishan were both talented people, and they often visited Song Qingshu's library.

Yin Susu was also a thoughtful person, having secretly preserved the Sky Eagle Kung Fu she had practiced. Initially, she was simply expressing gratitude for Song Qingshu's efforts for her family of three, but she hadn't anticipated that Song Qingshu would meticulously study the Sky Eagle martial arts and, together with Zhang Sanfeng, refine them, further improving their potential for growth. Later, Yin Susu discovered a whole new Sky Eagle Kung Fu, complete with additional complementary techniques. This left her feeling both amused and embarrassed. Instead of repaying the favor, she'd incurred even greater debts.

By chance, Zhang Wuji mentioned that he had memorized the Kongtong School's "Seven Injury Fist." Song Qingshu gagged him, and he then found Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu, and went to meet Zhang Sanfeng together. Song Qingshu, however, proposed a new idea, "The ultimate external skill is to train the skin, tendons, bones, flesh, marrow, and internal organs. The Seven Injury Fist hurts oneself before it hurts others, and all the internal organs are affected. If the power of this attack is reduced a hundredfold, it might not be a method to train the internal organs. Xiao Wuji's heart is affected by the cold, and his internal strength is insufficient before he can reach the first-class level. Although external skills are effective, they only increase blood and qi, and the effect is slow. If the "Seven Injury Fist" is modified well, it can directly train the heart and have miraculous effects."

Zhang Sanfeng hesitated for a moment and finally accepted Song Qingshu's advice. Together with him, he completed a streamlined adaptation of the "Seven Injury Fist" and incorporated some of the ideas from the "Yi Jin Duan Gu Pian" to create the "Five Organs Body Strengthening Exercise".

During this period, Zhang Sanfeng wrote letters to Shaolin and Emei respectively, asking for the Nine Yang Gong, but he was unsuccessful. Although Zhang Wuji had made some progress in martial arts and the purple energy in his dantian had made some progress, the cold poison in his body was stuck in his meridians and could not be eliminated. Instead, it was growing stronger as Zhang Wuji grew.

In Song Qingshu's words, it's a conflict of cold and heat, using heat to refine the cold. The yang of the Wudang Nine Yang Gong couldn't suppress the cold of the Mysterious Nether Palm, but instead stimulated the cold's growth. If it weren't for Zhang Wuji's talent and the nourishing supplements that strengthened his internal energy, preventing his Nine Yang Qi from being suppressed by the Mysterious Nether Qi, he wouldn't have been able to maintain his health. However, after reaching a certain level of cultivation, even Zhang Wuji, with his exceptional aptitude, passed the period of rapid strength growth and entered a period of relatively stable growth.

This gave Xuanming Qi an opportunity to grow stronger and surpass Jiuyang Qi. If it weren't for his "Yi Jin Duan Gu Pian" and "Iron Shirt" which had reached a considerable level of proficiency, he would probably have been too sick to move.

Two years passed in a flash. Song Qingshu was already eighteen years old and had initially stabilized his realm as a first-class master. He proposed that Zhang Wuji travel around and seek medical treatment. "The world is vast and full of wonders. After all, my medical skills are still behind closed doors and not perfect. Grand Master, apart from studying martial arts behind closed doors, he has been paying attention to Xiao Wuji's injuries and has rarely been out and about. When you are still, you want to move. How about Grand Master taking Xiao Wuji and me to Shaolin, Emei, and Huashan?"

It was the Mid-Autumn Festival that day, and the Wudang heroes and their master were celebrating the festival. However, before the end of the banquet, Song Qingshu suddenly made a suggestion, catching everyone off guard.
