The Villain's Counterattack

Chapter 109: Health preservation should start from childhood

After Song Yuanqiao and Yu Lianzhou left, Mo Shenggu took out two books from his arms and threw them to Song Qingshu, muttering in dissatisfaction, "I really don't know what you need so many third-rate martial arts that are commonplace. Here, a light martial arts book called 'Water Floating' and a book called 'Soul-Breaking Sword', both third-rate martial arts."

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. The lower the level of the martial arts, the simpler and easier to understand its basics. By adapting and improving these third-rate martial arts, I can increase my own realm and enrich my Wudang Sect's collection, right? Shaolin has seventy-two unique skills. Although it's impossible for everyone to master them, and some are no longer practiced, their reputations are terrifying. Naturally, my Wudang martial arts cannot be inferior to others."

Over the years, Song Qingshu collected fifty or sixty books on low-level martial arts through Mo Shenggu, Zhang Songxi, and Yin Liting, which greatly enriched his collection. He only studied and improved them but did not learn them, except for the light martial arts.

“But don’t underestimate this “Floating on Water”, it’s based on the same principle as “Flying on Grass”. Although the name is a bit rotten and the high-end content is seriously lacking, the core idea is quite good. If it is carefully improved, it may become a first-class light skill in the future.” Song Qingshu did not say that this “Floating on Water” should be the basic part of the unique skills of the Iron Palm Gang’s leader Qiu Qianren, and it is also a well-known light skill in the world.

Based on "Flying on the Grass" and integrating Tian Boguang's lightness skill, as long as it is roughly the same, it can be regarded as a first-class lightness skill. Taking "Floating on the Water" as the core and integrating Shaolin's "Crossing the River on a Reed", it can't be lower than the first-class. By then, Wudang will have two more first-class Kung Fu, and catching up with Shaolin's 72 unique skills is not a dream.

Song Qingshu also created a world-class martial arts database, ranking and categorizing renowned martial arts techniques, including their respective schools, strengths, weaknesses, and countermeasures. Several Wudang masters frequently reviewed and revised the book, which broadened their horizons considerably. This type of original work was strictly protected, restricted to those within the Wudang sect, and only those who were core Wudang disciples were permitted access.

At this time, Song Qingshu discovered that some of the Huashan School's martial arts were slightly different from his impression. At least the "Yangwu Sword Technique" had not been created yet, which made him excited. So he secretly took out the "Yangwu Internal Power Basics" and "Yangwu Sword Technique Simplified Version" created by Yue Buqun in the world of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer". As a product of his inspiration from studying Confucian classics, he received praise from Zhang Sanfeng and his uncles. Even his father Song Yuanqiao felt it was a bit incredible. Although the skills were very basic, they were already relatively complete.

With so many false achievements piling up, Song Qingshu's talent was infinitely elevated. He was regarded as the best after Zhang Sanfeng in Wudang Sect and was favored by the second generation of disciples. They also tried their best to cooperate with him in collecting third-rate skills. Although Yu Lianzhou and Song Yuanqiao also warned him to specialize in one thing and not to be too ambitious and miscellaneous, they secretly sent him some relatively complete skills.

"Master asked me to ask you whether you want to practice the Pure Yang Wuji Gong. Your internal strength has now reached the second-rate level. The Wudang Nine Yang Gong will be of relatively little help to you. You basically meet the conditions for practicing the Pure Yang Wuji Gong." Mo Shenggu knew that Song Yuanqiao had asked him once when he had just been promoted half a year ago, but he had declined on the grounds that he had just broken through and was not stable. This time, it was Zhang Sanfeng who sent him to ask, and it was obvious that he was quite concerned about Song Qingshu.

"Grandmaster really understands me. Even if you don't ask, I will take the initiative to ask for it in ten days or half a month. After all, the Wudang Nine Yang Gong is only a fragment of the Nine Yang Divine Art, and it can't compare to the Pure Yang Wuji Gong created by Grandmaster. But the rich Taoist philosophy in it is perfect for building a foundation. Now that my foundation is solid, it's time to practice the Pure Yang Wuji Gong and make rapid progress." Song Qingshu said confidently: "With the help of this profound technique, it will be no problem for me to advance to the first-class level in three to five years. If I surpass you by then, please don't cry, Seventh Uncle."

"You little brat, it's not that easy to surpass me, your uncle. I'm already a top-notch master in the martial arts world." Mo Shenggu was only twenty-three years old, but with the help of Song Qingshu's medicinal food and baths, he was already a top-notch master in the martial arts world. Although he couldn't be compared with a top-notch master like Yu Lianzhou, simply traveling around the martial arts world was enough for him.

"Master said that if you make some progress in practicing the Pure Yang Wuji Gong, he will teach you the Zhenwu Seven-Section Sword Formation. I hope you work hard and don't just do it to get by like you did when practicing the Wudang Nine Yang Gong. You obviously have such excellent qualifications, but you don't know how to work hard. You kid is really speechless." Mo Shenggu sometimes felt that this kid was a little unreliable.

"In Taoist Kung Fu, haste makes waste. On the contrary, being free from desires, yet maintaining strict self-discipline and steady progress can achieve unexpected results. If I had been impatient for success, I might not have achieved what I have today. Internal strength training is different from fists, kicks, and swordsmanship; it cannot be rushed."

Song Qingshu was not in a hurry. This life was different from his previous one. In his previous life, he really had no resources in the Fuwei Escort Agency, but now he had the guidance of the great master Zhang Sanfeng, and there were plenty of martial arts of the Wudang Sect for him to learn. In terms of internal skills, the "Wudang Nine Yang Gong" and "Pure Yang Wuji Gong" were enough to make him a top master in the world, but it might take a little longer.

However, he had already made a comprehensive plan. He could not stop studying the "Yi Jin Duan Gu Pian". With good muscle and bone fitness, he would be able to learn anything quickly in the future. Qinggong must be the first priority. Then, after he reached adulthood (18 years old), he would travel the world independently and first obtain the "One Yang Finger" from Zhu Wu Lianhuan Manor.

With this skill, you won't be afraid of getting hurt in the future. If possible, you can look for the "Nine Yang Divine Art". Although the possibility of finding it is not high and you need to rely on luck, you should still give it a try.

Zhuwu Lianhuanzhuang and Guangmingding are both in Kunlun Mountain. If possible, he would like to borrow "The Great Shift of the Universe" to take a look, but the secret passage in the mountain is so secretive that no one knows about it except Cheng Kun. With his own martial arts skills, he probably cannot defeat that old man Cheng Kun. The best way is to put on makeup and disguise himself to sneak into Guangmingding.

This method wasn't entirely reliable. Bright Summit was a key location for the Ming Cult, with the arch-villain Yang Xiao in command. Infiltrating would be impossible, unless they could find a way to dislodge him. Ji Xiaofu possessed the charm to lure him away. At that point, they could simply find the most luxurious bedroom in the backyard of Bright Summit and examine under the bed to find the entrance. With plenty of food and water, they might be able to uncover the secret passage.

But there is only one chance, and you have to pray that you won’t be blocked by Cheng Kun. It is really very dangerous. However, fortune and wealth are sought in danger, and "The Great Shift of the Universe" is worth the risk.

Thinking about it this way, I really can't be lazy anymore. It's time to make a move. No matter what, I have to practice Qinggong well. That will make it easier to escape. No matter how high your martial arts skills are, it's useless if you can't catch me. But I'm still young. If I try too hard, will it hurt my foundation? It's better to take it easy. Health preservation should start from childhood, so I must pay attention to it.

Since I can't squeeze my body, I'll just supplement it from the outside. I heard that the Tianshan Snow Lotus is pretty good, so I can try to get a few pounds of that thing. If there are ginsengs from Changbai Mountain that are hundreds or thousands of years old, I can also consider it. I've decided not to go to Kunlun Mountain for now. Changbai Mountain is my primary goal.

"Food is the most important thing for people. I still need to continue studying medicinal food." Song Qingshu's sudden words contained countless thoughts, but it made Mo Shenggu stunned. They were just talking about practicing martial arts, why did they suddenly turn to medicinal food?

Wait, is this kid trying to increase his cultivation speed by taking tonic medicinal food?

This method seems feasible, but the cost is a bit too much to bear. Fortunately, this guy is proficient in this, otherwise it would be even more frustrating.
