Chapter 010: Martial Arts

Would it be somewhat inappropriate to directly seek martial skills

The preparation of the essential medicine required for foundation laying is not easy; if you lack experience in this area, it is very easy to waste the medicinal materials. I can assist you.

Good

Sanqing Temple

To be desired but unattainable

"Master Fang." Daoist Zhang's eyes darted as he spoke softly

Fang Zheng had been observing the changes in the other person's expression. Upon seeing this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief; it seemed there was a chance. He was grateful for Yu Yanghong's guidance

In this way, more than half has already passed

To speak frankly

Suddenly, a person rushed over in a hurry

The sound of a heavy object falling onto the table sends a shiver through one's heart

He spoke as he took a book from his body and handed it to Zhang Daoren, who then passed it to Fang Zheng, and said

However, if one wishes to establish a foundation in martial arts through this method, substantial medicinal assistance is required, and the costs will undoubtedly be considerable; it is advisable for the practitioner to be well-prepared

The Daoist temple has the responsibility to educate the masses, and the layperson possesses this ambition for self-improvement; thus, it is only reasonable for me, as a humble Daoist, to respond positively.

Another young Daoist, embodying the ethereal demeanor of an immortal, should be Zhang Mingrui, the Daoist mentioned by Yu Yanghong.

After some thought, he said

That is true martial arts

I do not seek to achieve mastery in martial arts; being able to enter the field is sufficient. In fleeing to this place, I have come to realize the importance of having martial skills at my side

The small path holds the secret recipe of the Pure Yang Palace's bone-strengthening elixir, which can strengthen the muscles and bones, making it an indispensable treasure for those who practice martial arts and study.

Who knows who can provide themselves with what they need

You can look for Young Master Yu. " Wu Hai coughed lightly and said in a low voice

Daoist temple

It is not that I, as a humble monk, am unwilling; rather, even if I were willing to impart the teachings, I fear I would not meet the expectations held in the heart of the layperson, and thus disappointment would be inevitable.

I cannot do it, " Wu Hailian repeatedly waved his hands

I bid farewell to Master Fang.

I hope the Daoist priest can grant this request

Let us go and find Young Master Yu

Exactly. "Fangzheng" bows respectfully

Fang Zheng has already decided to first go to the Dao to assess the situation; if that does not work out, he will go to the martial arts school. As for the amount of money spent, it is of no concern.

This statement is indeed true

It is only proper for those who seek to acquire methods to benefit future generations.

The Iron Crown Daoist is of short stature, with numerous wrinkles on his face, likely around seventy or eighty years old, yet his pair of eyes remains bright and spirited.

Is it not possible

... ...

The Taoist priest stationed at Sanqing Temple is rotated every few years. This year, it is the turn of Daoist Tieguan to return to Chunyuan Palace, with Daoist Zhang taking over.

A Taoist temple and martial arts, these two seem incompatible

Ordinary families without three or four generations of wealth cannot accumulate such foundations

Mr. Fang, you are most courteous

Miss Sun has not conceived after several years of marriage, so Young Master Yu often visits the temple at https://www.hetushu.com to seek talismans, making him a regular there

Do you wish to practice martial arts

The difference lies in the lack of a foundation

"Not bad." Wu Hai nodded

Backyard

The scions of noble families have practiced martial arts and sought knowledge since childhood, and with the nourishment of potent elixirs, each one is capable of facing ten adversaries, or even a hundred. Even in the face of adversity, they possess the strength to resist.

Where can I practice martial arts?" Fang Zheng rubbed his hands together and asked further:

The Iron Crown Daoist's eyes flickered

I am willing to offer two hundred taels of silver" Fang Zheng took off the satchel from his body, placed it in the center of the room on the table, and said sincerely

It was further explained that

Moreover

Martial arts

Fang Zheng took the book somewhat bewildered, seemingly unable to believe that the thing he had longed for throughout his journey had come into his hands so easily

I heard that the layperson wishes to practice martial arts

It is sufficient to be able to practice martial arts; I do not seek to become a master.

If the Fang brothers truly wish to practice martial arts, they may inquire at the Taoist temple

Good

Clang ... ...

Two hundred taels of silver! The Iron Crown Daoist's expression changed slightly as he slowly sat up straight

There are rules within the palace; those who are not disciples of the Pure Yang Palace are not permitted to practice the Pure Yang teachings. However, I possess a method for foundation building over a hundred days, which is derived from the remnants of the treasures of the Heavenly Palace.

The Taoist temple ... ... '' Fangzheng speaks:

The Daoist Canon encompasses all laws, and Daoist temples are spread throughout thousands of cities. The Daoist temple in Gu'an County is presided over by the Daoist priest of Chunyang Palace, and I have heard in the military that the Daoist priest of Chunyang Palace is the most skilled in foundational practices

Fang Zheng entered the room and bowed respectfully to the two individuals.

"Of course, it can be done." Wu Hai shook his head

The young master of the Sun family from the cloth shop requests an audience; he has brought someone who wishes to acquire foundational martial arts skills, and that person is willing to offer two hundred taels of silver.

Of course, all of this is hearsay; the specifics still require Brother Fang to go and inquire personally.

In recent years, natural disasters and man-made calamities have been incessant, leading to the decline of many affluent families across the four prefectures and thirteen counties. The individual before me is likely one of them

"It's alright," Fang Zheng hurriedly said

"What is it?" The Iron Crown Daoist opened his eyes, his voice tinged with a hint of impatience

Wu has mastered the martial arts of the battlefield; while he is capable of charging into battle, he is not particularly skilled in strengthening the body.

Um... the Iron Crown Daoist gently stroked his beard

Yes?

to demonstrate sincerity

However, the law should not be lightly transmitted

The sect is very strict in recruiting disciples, and it seems that Brother Fang may not meet the requirements. There are indeed martial arts schools in the city, but to truly learn the skills, one must not only spend money but also possess a certain foundation.

Regarding the subtlety of foundational practices, it is no less than the Heart Method of Pure Yang

The county office is situated to the north, while the Taoist temple is located to the south, with each complementing the other. The county office nurtures the hearts of the people, while the Taoist temple observes and dispels evil and impurities, each fulfilling its own role

Unfortunately, compared to the ever-increasing power of the county government, the Taoist temple has long since fallen into decline

Please

Then let's go to the Taoist temple. " Fang Zheng held onto the other person.

Upon leaving the house and arriving at the front yard, Fang Zheng had not yet fully regained his composure

No rush

Yes. Fang Zheng's heart skipped a beat

For this journey, Fangzheng spent a considerable amount of money to acquire two silver ingots weighing fifteen kilograms each, which were melted down into small silver pieces, bringing over three hundred taels.

Three taels of silver for one grain

He is confident that he can make a fortune through arbitrage between the two worlds

If one can acquire the techniques, even if one cannot master them oneself, they can be passed down to future generations to preserve the family legacy

Money can be earned again once it is lost; it is merely a matter of earning more or less. However, martial arts in modern society belong only to hearsay.

I initially thought that the greatest benefit of traversing to another world was to become a wealthy merchant, making a fortune and living as a rich man. However, it now appears that the advantages extend far beyond that.

Wu Hai displayed a look of surprise, examining Fang Zheng from head to toe

The temple is not large, but from the architectural remnants, one can faintly discern its former grandeur and magnificence; however, it has significantly deteriorated in the present day

Your new house has not yet been arranged

"Not just brewing medicine," said Zhang Daoist with a grin.

Bring back more money, so that the later years can be spent in peace and stability

Ah? Wu Hai looked bewildered

"Daoist priest," Fang Zheng began to speak

The Iron Crown Daoist squinted his eyes slightly, observing his two disciples busily tidying up their belongings, a look of contentment on his face

This world is exceedingly dangerous, having faced perilous situations on two occasions. If one could acquire martial arts skills, it would provide a certain level of self-defense capability

However, Brother Fang is no longer young; his bones and muscles have already taken shape. Mastering martial arts emphasizes a solid foundation, and now, even if he practices, it is difficult for him to achieve any significant accomplishments

... ...

The layman is already advanced in age, making it difficult to achieve success in martial arts. The Iron Crown Daoist shook his head repeatedly

First seek martial prowess

Zhang Daoren, standing to the side, stepped forward, opened his satchel to take a look inside, and his expression immediately became quite remarkable. After a brief pause, he nodded towards Tieguan Daoren.

How to sell it

The Iron Crown Daoist displayed a smile

I am about to return to the mountains soon. Although I have accumulated some family assets over the years, no one would ever complain about having too much money

This world actually has real martial arts

Fang Zheng was taken aback

Pure Yang Palace Branch

It is not that Wu is fond of inquiring about others' affairs; many people are aware of this matter

Looking from the side, it appears upright

"Martial arts school? Or should I join a certain sect? If not, Brother Wu, you could teach me. We can discuss the price, and I will certainly ensure your satisfaction"

Yes

Master Uncle

It is indeed acceptable as an introduction. Wu Hai nodded

... ...

... ...

"Master Zhang," the Daoist said at the appropriate moment

Fangzheng, I have met two Daoist priests

Some fortunes differ from those of noble families and aristocracy
