Chapter 5, The Supreme Yin-Yang Secret

Running along the campus of Coastal University, Linmu made his way to the artificial lake located at the center of Coastal University.

Gu Bingxian looked at Lin Mu, who was somewhat embarrassed and rubbing his hands together

The elderly person's age should be around seventy, yet they walk with remarkable lightness, and their vitality surpasses that of individuals in their twenties.

Lin Mu settled down beside the artificial lake, adjusted his breathing, and began his practice according to the "Supreme Yin-Yang Formula" he had cultivated.

Opening his eyes, Lin Mu couldn't help but sigh. At the current pace, let alone a hundred years or a thousand years, it would be impossible for Lin Mu to reach the ascension realm.

The elder still maintained a posture of respect and said, "Senior, this is truly overwhelming for an old man like me. You may simply call me Xiao Gu."

Lin Mu immediately said, "You misunderstood, Gu. I have no sect or affiliation. There is certainly no sect that I belong to. I am merely considering what methods I can use to help you accept this better."

The elderly man halted and stood still, casting a slight smile towards Lin Mu across from him, then lifted his foot and walked in Lin Mu's direction

Although the Earth is no longer suitable for cultivation, Lin Mu will not give up on his practice. He will not forget everything that the Four Great Immortal Emperors have done for him. Even if there is a glimmer of hope, Lin Mu still hopes to return to the Immortal Realm to seek revenge

After performing three complete cycles of energy cultivation by the lakeside, Lin Mu felt that the spiritual energy in this area had already been completely absorbed by him

After reproaching himself, Gu Bingxian said to himself with great hope: "I hope the senior will come again tomorrow"

With this supreme cultivation technique, Lin Mu ascended to the immortal realm in less than a hundred years. In the immortal realm, he advanced at a god-like speed, quickly reaching a height unattainable by ordinary people

As for Lin Mu's exceptional culinary skills, they were acquired during his time as a mere mortal. However, Lin Mu was not a chef back then; he was a renowned physician famous in the Han Dynasty's circles. Cooking was merely a hobby for Lin Mu, yet his passion for this hobby surpassed his interest in practicing medicine. Otherwise, his primary weapon would not have been a spatula.

However, due to Lin Mu's erratic behavior, coupled with the countless individuals coveting the "Supreme Yin-Yang Secret", Lin Mu was ultimately besieged by the Four Great Immortal Emperors and was cast down to the mortal realm, with his cultivation being reduced by ninety-nine percent

Lin Mu looked at Gu Bingxian and curiously asked, "Xiao Gu, do you have something to say?"

Lin Mu carefully put away the business card and said: "I will contact you then. I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now"

This is the place with the most abundant spiritual energy at Binhai University, and the effects of cultivation here are the best.

However, Lin Mu did not notice anything; given his own age, addressing him as "Little Gu" was already a form of flattery: "Little Gu, please get up. It would not be good if outsiders see you."

However, as Lin Mu continued his actions, the mockery in the old man's eyes gradually faded, ultimately transforming into shock and disbelief

Gu Bingxian hesitated for a moment, then quickly rubbed his hands together and anxiously asked, "Senior, could you please teach me the fist technique you just demonstrated?"

The "Supreme Yin-Yang Secret" was inadvertently obtained by Lin Mu in the past. Initially, he believed it to be merely an ordinary martial arts manual. However, as he delved deeper into his cultivation, Lin Mu discovered that it was, in fact, an unparalleled method of immortality cultivation, encompassing a vast array of knowledge and accommodating all things.

Lightly landing, the forest took a deep breath of fresh air. Although the Earth has lost much of its spiritual energy, the morning still feels significantly more vibrant than at other times.

Gu Bingxian was very pleased to hear that Lin Mu was unwilling to take him as a disciple, but was willing to impart his boxing techniques. He quickly took out his business card and said: "Senior, this is my business card. If you have any requests, please feel free to contact me. I will certainly do my utmost to assist you."

Looking at the colorful bras displayed on the computer screen, Lin Mu murmured, "So this is to protect the chest. Modern people really have such imaginative ideas, but they do look quite nice."

The elder approached the trees and smiled slightly, saying, "Young friend, you have been watching here for quite some time; could it be that you have an interest in Tai Chi?"

Lin Mu had been hunched over the computer all night, and by the time he raised his head again, the sky was already brightening.

Upon hearing this, Gu Bingxian immediately expressed his joy and said: "So, Senior, you are willing to teach me. Please allow me to pay my respects; I am eager to become your disciple."

Rising from his meditation, Lin Mu saw not far from him an elderly man with a head full of silver hair, energetically practicing Tai Chi under a ginkgo tree

Lin Mu murmured to himself: "So this set of martial arts is called m.hetushu.com.com Tai Chi."

Lin Mu did not think much, quietly recalling for a moment with his eyes closed, and then stood in place to perform the initial posture of Tai Chi.

The old man watched Lin Mu imitate his starting stance from the side, a hint of mockery evident in his eyes

The elder's expression changed slightly upon hearing Lin Mu's words. He noticed that Lin Mu had been watching from the side and assumed that Lin Mu was interested in Tai Chi. He intended to kindly teach Lin Mu a thing or two, but Lin Mu's remarks were unexpected, and his tone seemed to suggest that he held the elder in no regard. Even if the elder's practice methods were indeed incorrect, he was still Lin Mu's senior, and Lin Mu should not have displayed such frivolity.

The old man listened to Lin Mu's words, and a competitive spirit arose within him. Thus, he spoke with a tone of disdain: "Since you say I have practiced incorrectly, then please demonstrate the correct method for me, young friend."

Lin Mu, upon hearing Gu Bingxian's words, initially thought it was an unwelcome request, but was surprised to find it was such a demand, and couldn't help but feel a bit amused.

The old man was none other than Gu Bingxian, the president of the renowned Binhai University, known overseas. If others were to see Gu Bingxian, who is already sixty-five years old, referring to himself as "Little Gu" in front of a young lad, it would surely leave them astounded.

Although Lin Mu only made slight modifications to the foundation he practiced, the entire set of martial arts appeared more pleasing and fluid. Moreover, the natural way of heaven and earth seemed to merge Lin Mu with everything around him, creating a sense of unity.

After Lin Mu finished a set of boxing techniques, the old man stared blankly at the Taiji pattern formed around Lin Mu, shocked and unable to utter a word for a long time

One was shocked while the other silently comprehended, until five minutes later, the elder was the first to react. He stepped forward and performed a gesture of respect towards Lin Mu, saying: "I apologize for the earlier offense and hope you can forgive me, senior."

Lin Mu did not directly respond to the old man's words, but instead said: "Although Tai Chi aligns with the principles of Yin and Yang, the method you are practicing is not entirely correct. If this continues, it may be difficult to achieve any breakthroughs."

Upon hearing this, Gu Bingxian was about to kneel down. Lin Mu quickly raised a hand to support Gu Bingxian, saying: "Xiao Gu, you need not be too agitated. I have not yet considered taking on a disciple, and this set of skills cannot be improved so quickly. How about this: I will think it over when I return today, and I will come back here tomorrow."

Moreover, although the elder of the Linmu Temple has not crossed the threshold of the cultivation realm, he can still be considered a master at the fifth level of Qi training according to the classification of ancient martial arts. This is quite remarkable in the modern era, which is characterized by the decline of both magic and martial arts.

However, this cannot be blamed on Lin Mu; if one were to discuss it, Lin Mu could easily be considered his great-grandfather.

After Lin Mu completed this set of martial arts, he appeared to be deep in thought. He realized that although this set of techniques was not as profound as the "Supreme Yin-Yang Secret", it contained many principles and subtleties that resonated with his own practice of the "Supreme Yin-Yang Secret", with many aspects complementing each other in subtle ways

After a night of brainstorming, Lin Mu finally gained a general understanding of the current society. He also realized the purpose of the items he took yesterday.

Watching the old man’s every move on https://mhetushu.com, Lin Mu couldn't help but feel a spark of inspiration. Although Lin Mu did not know what kind of boxing technique this was, he sensed through the old man's movements that this boxing style subtly aligned with the principles of yin and yang. The cultivation method he practiced, the "Supreme Yin-Yang Formula," was precisely about harmonizing yin and yang, achieving a balance between the two.

I stood up from in front of the computer to stretch a bit, walked to the bedside, glanced at the fish belly white in the sky, directly opened the window, and jumped out from the second-floor window

Gu Bingxian saw that Lin Mu had not responded for a long time and thought he had committed some kind of offense, so he quickly said: "If it involves the rules of the sect, then let it be as if I, as a junior, have not said anything."

Gu Bingxian bowed deeply as a sign of respect to bid farewell to Lin Mu. Suddenly recalling something, Gu Bingxian quickly raised his head, only to find that Lin Mu had already disappeared.

The old man said with a hint of surprise, "Do you not know, young friend?"

Lin Mu was startled awake by the old man's actions and quickly helped the elderly man up, saying, "You are too polite, sir"

However, Lin Mu has never been someone who easily gives up. Moreover, what cultivators have in abundance is time. As long as one perseveres in their cultivation, their lifespan will increase day by day. Furthermore, Lin Mu's progress in the past was indeed too rapid. This time, it is as if heaven is giving Lin Mu a chance to start over.

Gu Bingxian looked into the distance and struck his left hand with his right hand, scolding himself: "I was so caught up in my happiness that I completely forgot to ask what my senior's name is and where he lives"

Lin Mu stood still in place, watching motionlessly for ten minutes, until the elderly man withdrew his hands

Gu Bingxian felt quite pleased when Lin Mu called him "Little Gu," and he stood up with a face full of excitement
