770: Chapter 766: Miraculous Cultivation Technique!
Yun Xinyan, seeing the situation, added fuel to the fire with her persuasion.
Ye Tian really couldn’t stand up against the two of them and could only silently nod.
“Alright then!
Master Zhang, give it a try and hit me twice.
I want to see what kind of Cultivation Technique you are going to teach me!
But remember, if I find out you’re lying to me, I will smash your head in!”
Ye Tian said fiercely, and Master Zhang hurriedly nodded and bowed.
“Yes, yes!
Mr.
Ye, you are in charge of everything!”
With that, Master Zhang waved his palm and began to demonstrate.
“Mr.
Ye, this set of Cultivation Techniques has no name, but I learned it from my master.
My master told me that this technique has been passed down through generations in our school.
It’s extremely forceful and masculine, and as long as you practice diligently, not only can it strengthen the body and benefit one’s health, but it also allows one to pierce through the heavens and the earth, becoming omnipotent!”
Master Zhang gesticulated as he spoke, and both Ye Tian and Yun Xinyan were left speechless… “Pierce through the heavens and the earth, becoming omnipotent” — was this guy exaggerating this technique too much?
According to him, isn’t that almost like magic?
Ye Tian didn’t want to practice following Master Zhang’s movements, but Yun Xinyan prodded Ye Tian’s back, coaxing him to follow along…
Thus, having no other choice, Ye Tian begrudgingly followed Master Zhang’s gestures and began to imitate them!
In martial arts, Ye Tian was highly skilled, able to remember any move after seeing it just once and practice it immediately.
However, Ye Tian had always practiced from Inner Strength, and had never trained in mere physical techniques, looking down on purely external forms of martial arts because without the cultivation of Inner Strength, such martial arts would lack power and be nothing more than fancy moves.
“Eh?”
However, just as Ye Tian began practicing the martial arts with Master Zhang, he was taken aback and noticed something unusual!
The movements Master Zhang was demonstrating resembled Tai Chi, very slow, yet were different from Tai Chi, being a slowly executed yet powerful technique!
In all schools of martial arts, any powerful technique is invariably swift and fierce, for only in this way can it fully unleash its might.
Yet Master Zhang’s technique was the complete opposite, which looked laughable, and anyone who would use such a technique in combat would probably end up getting their teeth knocked out…
Additionally, since this technique was purely external, with no support from Inner Strength, employing it in actual combat was utterly absurd!
— That was Ye Tian’s original opinion.
However, when he actually practiced the technique, he was amazed to find that it was not completely devoid of Inner Strength, which was driven by the external moves.
That is to say, while following Master Zhang’s various movements, the chi in Ye Tian’s body would naturally start to circulate, following a path that directly connected the governor and conception vessels, a high-class method of circulation reserved for superior techniques.
Could it be that Master Zhang, who seemed like a swindler from the martial world, actually possessed a profound and inscrutable technique?
Even Ye Tian found it unbelievable…
Nevertheless, Ye Tian’s interest in the technique taught by Master Zhang grew stronger, and he started to follow along carefully, executing every single move with precision.
Yun Xinyan watched Ye Tian practice the technique earnestly and couldn’t help but nod in approval!
Ye Tian was doing it entirely for his own sake, for the future of his family…
Under such circumstances, it didn’t matter anymore that Ye Tian had been neglecting his family and had no interest in taking over the affairs of Yun Corporation.
Yun Xinyan chose to forgive him!
Master Zhang performed the technique for over half an hour, and Ye Tian practiced it for just as long.
After half an hour, Master Zhang stopped his movements, but Ye Tian’s did not cease.
Ye Tian continued to focus on the moves, the more he practiced, the more astonished he became!
In all the various martial arts schools, almost all martial arts progress from internal to external, or merely involve external techniques.
As for martial arts that progress from external to internal, Ye Tian had never heard or seen such a thing.
A martial art that leads internal force through external movements, is that even possible??
Although Ye Tian was highly talented, he could not fully comprehend this technique for a time.
The marvelous part of this Cultivation Technique lay in the Inner Strength driven by the external moves, with an intricate method of chi circulation that left Ye Tian both thrilled and anxious!
This was a feeling Ye Tian had only felt at the beginning of his martial arts journey, upon acquiring an advanced technique, and he did not expect to experience it again now that he had become an unparalleled Martial Artist!
Of course, at this moment, Ye Tian was still unable to fully integrate Master Zhang’s technique, so after pondering for a while, he stopped…
Seeing Ye Tian practice with such zeal, Master Zhang approached excitedly and asked, “How is it, Mr.
Ye, how are the effects?”
“Not bad at all!”
Despite his inner excitement, Ye Tian maintained his composure, keeping a straight face as he spoke.
“That’s great, that’s great… Mr.
Ye, as long as you’re satisfied!”
Master Zhang said with a beaming smile, but Ye Tian gave him a look and continued, “Master Zhang, since this technique has been passed down through your line for generations, what do you feel when you practice it?”
Ye Tian asked carefully, but Master Zhang looked at him with a face full of bewilderment.
“What sensation are you talking about?
Mr.
Ye, this cultivation technique is simply for strengthening the body, completely harmless to one’s health!”
Master Zhang then explained, and Ye Tian looked at him, seemingly having misunderstood his point.
“No, Master Zhang, what I meant was, when you practice this cultivation technique, do the blood vessels and meridians inside your body have any special sensations?”
Ye Tian asked again, but Master Zhang immediately shook his head.
“None whatsoever!
There’s no such sensation!
When practicing this technique, there’s absolutely no feeling throughout the body!
However, after performing it once, you will immediately feel refreshed, with your bones and muscles feeling exceptionally relaxed.
It also enhances one’s physical condition, achieving the effect of utmost rigidity and masculinity!”
“…”
After listening to Master Zhang’s explanation, Ye Tian was at a loss for words.
In order to verify whether Master Zhang was lying, Ye Tian used his clairvoyant ability to peek inside Master Zhang’s body, where there were no traces of energy flowing through the meridians.
That is to say, Master Zhang, who had just taught himself this miraculous technique, possessed no Inner Strength at all!
However, this was not surprising.
Ye Tian could also think of reasonable explanations.
Although Master Zhang could proficiently use the cultivation technique he demonstrated, he had yet to discover the wonderful aspects of the technique.
Every Martial Artist has different aptitudes, and their understanding of the same martial arts is also varied.
The technique that seemed incredible to himself, in fact, in the eyes of Master Zhang and his fellow disciples, was nothing more than an ordinary technique that could only strengthen the body and improve physical condition.
“Mr.
Ye, what are you thinking about?”
Seeing Ye Tian with a thoughtful expression, Master Zhang asked with concern, to which Ye Tian hastily replied, “It’s nothing, just pondering a little!”
Ye Tian smiled, thinking that perhaps it was a good thing that Master Zhang was oblivious to the true nature of his own teaching.
“Master Zhang, the technique you’ve taught is excellent.
Indeed, after mimicking it for a while, I truly felt my masculine energy growing stronger!
Both my wife and I are grateful to you!
As for the compensation, I’ll talk to my wife, and she’ll give you a bit extra!”
Ye Tian said generously, which was in fact also a polite way of showing him out.
Upon hearing this, Master Zhang immediately understood!
“Mr.
Ye, I am glad you are satisfied!
My task here is done, so I will take my leave now!
If we are destined, we will meet again.
I wish you and your wife a century of harmony and a full house of children!”
After offering a compliment, Master Zhang left, and Ye Tian watched the back of the departing charlatan, his thoughts profound.
“Wife, where did you find this charlatan from?”
Ye Tian asked Yun Xinyan, intrigued about Master Zhang’s identity and origins.
Yun Xinyan laughed and said, “Of course, at Laojun Temple!
It’s said he’s a fellow disciple of Wu Chen Daoist and even a personal disciple of Zhang Tian, with skills far surpassing Daoist Wu Chen!
He is originally an itinerant Taoist alchemist, without a fixed abode.
He came to visit Daoist Wu Chen at Laojun Temple this time and decided to stay for a few extra days.
Somehow the news got out, and the citizens of Jiang City, upon hearing of his arrival, all went to see him at the temple, seeking his fortune-telling services.
So, I went too, to have him look at our house’s Feng Shui, and he said the Feng Shui of our house was not good.
I offered a handsome sum for him to come here in person, and you just happened to catch him in the act!”
“…”
Yun Xinyan’s explanation left Ye Tian speechless.
His beloved wife was not only superstitious but had also reached a point of being beyond redemption…
Wouldn’t Yun Xinyan be taken for a ride by these swindlers?
A personal disciple of Zhang Tian?
Ye Tian would never believe that!
How old was Master Zhang?
What dynasty did Zhang Tian belong to?
From the first moment he saw Master Zhang, Ye Tian never thought he possessed any significant skills.
His dress, speech, and behavior did not show any of the characteristics of an ascetic.
Even compared to Daoist Wu Chen, he seemed somewhat inadequate…
Of course, to give credit where credit is due, Master Zhang did have some useful insights.
He was able to discern quite a few things in the house, and the cultivation technique he finally taught was indeed effective.
Thus, it could be seen that he did possess some skill and was not entirely a charlatan.
“Wife, since Master Zhang has taught me such an excellent, robust technique, I will practice it diligently and won’t let you down!”
Ye Tian declared in front of Yun Xinyan, who was immediately excited at his statement!
“Ye Tian, I’m very happy that you’re considering our family!
Don’t worry, I won’t disturb you while you practice!”
Although Yun Xinyan had not seen Ye Tian for a long time and longed for his company, upon reflection, she realized there was no need to rush in matters concerning herself and Ye Tian, as they had many more days ahead of them.
