Chapter 4: Success and Departure from the Island

The wind howled, raising many assumptions, yet none provided answers, leaving him in a state of confusion. However, there were benefits; by practicing the "Calm Heart Technique," he adjusted his body's frequency to align with the present, resulting in a significantly accelerated increase in his internal energy. Even without actively cultivating his power, spiritual energy continuously surged into his body. All he needed to do was use the Primordial Skill to transform the spiritual energy into internal energy through his dantian, achieving an efficiency that was more than double that of directly cultivating internal energy.

He Tishou, however, was smiling with his chin in hand, just waiting to watch the good show unfold

The wind rustled as I looked up, only to hear the child whisper, "It is the officials and soldiers, they must be here to capture you. We must escape quickly"

The Half-Step Collapse Fist is now confirmed to originate from the Huashan Poyuqin, but Wang Sanpao has not mentioned the source of the body training method of Wing Chun's Inch Punch

On that day, the wind was blowing gently as He Tishou accompanied Feng Xiaoxiao to stroll through the market. Around noon, the two of them entered the courtyard, chatting and laughing.

Feng Xiaoxiao knew that these were people from the Mu Wangfu, but he had a poor impression of the Mu Wangfu and did not wish to engage with them

Since there is no need for arduous training, the internal energy would grow rapidly, and Feng Xiaoxiao became idle. Sometimes, he would go to chat with Wen Qingqing, other times he would accompany He Ti to stroll around the small market on the island, or go to the seaside to experience the vastness of the ocean. When he was utterly bored, he would run off to study why the natives here were so dark.

Yuan Chengzhi exclaimed genius after knowing that Feng Xiaoxiao had mastered the Hunyuan Gong to perfection

Yuan Chengzhi cleared his throat, and once everyone had quieted down, he spoke: "For many years, I have diligently cultivated my internal energy, but since ten years ago, there has been not a single bit of progress. I have tried various methods, all to no avail. However, I recall that our Huashan Sect originally possessed some alchemical techniques, which may be of assistance to me."

After mastering the Wind Whistling Fist technique, he began to learn swordsmanship from his master. The Huashan Sword Technique is upright and bright, profound and extensive. However, Wind Whistling felt that its power was insufficient and only practiced it to gain proficiency. In contrast, he had a particular fondness for the Golden Snake Sword Technique, borrowing the Golden Snake Sword from his master and diligently practicing it every day. The Golden Snake Sword Technique is strange and vicious, and it is guaranteed to draw blood with every strike. Moreover, unlike the fist and foot techniques, it does not consume internal energy, which temporarily alleviated his problem of insufficient internal energy.

Yuan Chengzhi sat in the hall, his brow furrowed and a look of deep distress on his face

The wind rustled as he thought to himself: "Is this a compliment to me? I can't let my senior sister feel too proud." He cupped his hands in a gesture of respect and said to He Tishou: "Thank you for the praise, senior sister, you are quite impressive as well." After saying this, he stood casually to the side, a slight smile on his face.

The wind howled, and I secretly muttered to myself: "No matter how high Yuan Chengzhi's martial arts skills are, he remains on the island. What use is it to practice every day?"

Although Feng Xiaoxiao's boxing technique is powerful, it is straightforward and direct. Yuan Chengzhi then taught him a set of palm techniques, the Golden Snake Gliding Palm. This is a set of palm techniques written into the Golden Snake Secret Manual by Xia Xueyi, where the movements are as fluid and unpredictable as a water snake, derived from the way a water snake moves in water. The techniques in this palm method are insidious, making Feng Xiaoxiao's punching angles more cunning and his attacks more smooth and elusive

Feng Xiaoxiao quickly walked outside, while He Tishou said with a grin: "Master, we are leaving now, you must take good care of yourself." With a mischievous smile on his face, he walked out of the hall and casually closed the door behind him

Although this matter was proposed by Wen Qingqing, Yuan Chengzhi still worried that she would feel jealous, and quickly interjected, "You don't need to search deliberately, just let everything happen naturally." He clearly appeared to be trying to cover up his true feelings.

He Tishou, however, had a charming face that turned bright red, displaying an expression that seemed to want to laugh but did not, which was quite amusing

Yuan Chengzhi, observing the wind rustling and feeling his cultivation reaching fruition, then imparted to him two sets of lightness skills, the first of which was the Divine Transformation of a Hundred Changes

After several months of sailing, Feng Xiaoxiao and He Tishou arrived in Guangzhou

The wind howled, and I never expected that the combination of the two martial arts would result in the "Wing Chun Half-Step Collapse," which has such remarkable effects. I wonder whether Wang Sanpao stumbled upon this by chance or if he deliberately combined the two. However, in modern times, due to frequent wars and a lack of spiritual energy, almost all internal martial arts texts have been lost. Therefore, although Wang Sanpao created such a remarkable skill, he had not studied internal martial arts, suggesting that the likelihood of it being a coincidence is greater.

After arriving at Wuchang Prefecture, the two parted ways, with Feng Xiaoxiao heading northwest towards Mount Hua, while He Tishou proceeded northeast.

The rugged man snorted, set down his chopsticks, and reached out to grip the handle of the knife

After Deng Mao Eighteen and Wei Xiaobao left, Feng Xiaoxiao got up and followed them.

Feng Xiaoxiao once asked Wen Qingqing about this, to which she replied that Yuan Chengzhi would frequently enter seclusion like this every few years, and she had already grown accustomed to it

Feng Xiaoxiao glanced a few times and felt that the martial arts of these individuals were truly unworthy of admiration. They lacked strength, moved at a snail's pace, and were akin to insignificant characters. Shaking his head, he was just about to take action

Upon arriving at Mount Huashan, Feng Xiaoxiao found the mountain completely deserted, with no signs of habitation. After inquiring with the local villagers, he learned that ten years prior, the authorities had posted a notice stating that the disciples of the Huashan Sect had colluded with rebels, leading to its disbandment.

He felt that his internal strength was still not deep enough, so he began to seclude himself and diligently practice his internal energy. As a result, he discovered a great secret. After arriving in this world, Feng Xiaoxiao had not practiced the Tranquility Technique for an extended period. After entering a meditative state for a day this time, he found that the frequency of spiritual energy here was actually different from that of the modern world. The current frequency was somewhat lower than before. Could it be that this is truly not the same world? Does a higher concentration of spiritual energy correspond to a lower frequency? The current frequency was somewhat lower than before. Could it be that this is truly not the same world? Does a higher concentration of spiritual energy correspond to a lower frequency?

At that moment, the rugged man shouted loudly, "Hey... Xiao Bao, do you know who is the most shameless person in the world?"

He Tishou instructed: "The medicinal materials you brought from the Central Plains last time have been used up. Please help me procure some more. Additionally, this time we need the hundred-year-old He Shou Wu, which is likely to be difficult to acquire. Even if someone is selling it, it would probably be quite valuable. You might as well go to Changbai Mountain and gather some. Remember, during this trip, do not cause any trouble and strictly adhere to the sect's rules. Once the task is completed, return immediately without any delay."

The wind rustled as he passed the letter, smiling and nodding. He found the Golden Snake Sword very easy to use and had no intention of returning it to Yuan Chengzhi

The lightness skill that weakens attacks, Feng Xiaoxiao would not learn. Therefore, he learned another set of lightness skills, the Yue Wang Divine Arrow. After mastering it, his body shot out like an arrow released from a bow. Yuan Chengzhi informed him that this technique, the Yue Wang Divine Arrow, is a unique lightness skill passed down by the Musang Daoist, with a speed of movement unmatched by any martial arts from various schools. Unfortunately, it can only accelerate in a straight line and is completely ineffective for lateral movement.

Although Feng Xiaoxiao felt that she was charming in appearance, her actual age was even greater than that of his mother, so he did not harbor any other thoughts. However, He Tishou thought that his junior brother appeared gentle and courteous, yet in reality, he was quick-witted and humorous, and he could never gain the upper hand in their banter. Nevertheless, he always took the initiative to yield, ensuring that she did not feel embarrassed, thus their journey was filled with harmony and joy

The wind rustled, and I was somewhat lost in thought; what a coincidence! Could these two be Mao Shiba and Wei Xiaobao?

Wen Qingqing suddenly spoke up: "If you two can meet Miss A Jiu, just ask her if she would be willing to come here to accompany me and Brother Yuan."

Feng Xiaoxiao touched her earlobe with a wry smile. He Tishou, however, smiled charmingly and said, "I find Junior Brother quite charming, with a pair of phoenix eyes, two arched eyebrows, a small cherry mouth, and complemented by ears resembling those of the Maitreya Buddha. Don't you think Feng Daidai is quite charming, Master Wife?"

Feng Xiaoxiao did not want to shave his head, so he dressed up as a Taoist priest, wearing a blue cloth robe and sporting a cow's nose on his head

Wen Qingqing was sitting beside him, trying to cheer him up. Upon seeing the two of them enter, she teased, "Feng Daidai, weren't you quite afraid of Ti Shou? How come you are sticking together every day now?"

The formidable power combined with astonishing speed requires even Yuan Chengzhi to exert all his strength to avoid injury. However, due to the immense energy consumption inherent in the technique, the unique method of force generation in "Wing Chun Half-Step Collapse" doubles the consumption of both internal and external energy. Furthermore, the slow recovery of the Hunyuan skill means that under the full force of Feng Xiaoxiao, he can only execute a maximum of ten moves before his internal energy is depleted. As for the enhancement of internal energy, it can only be achieved through the accumulation of time. The slow recovery of the Hunyuan skill again results in Feng Xiaoxiao being able to perform at most ten moves under full exertion before exhausting his internal energy. The improvement of internal energy can only rely on the passage of time.

The wind howls, and I feel quite helpless, but when I think of the scene in "The Deer and the Cauldron" where Wei Xiaobao attended the Turtle Killing Conference, both A Jiu and Feng Nandi from the Huashan Sect were present. If he had approached them at that time, wouldn't all of his master's instructions have been resolved

This group of people paid no attention to others, simply urging the waiter to prepare the dishes and meals quickly

The principle of the Divine Movement of Transformation lies in the rotation and vibration of the internal energy throughout the body, which allows one to dissipate external forces. However, when one attempts to attack others, their own force will also dissipate. Therefore, mastering this skill means that one can neither defeat others nor be defeated by them.

At another table, a person had picked up a pair of chopsticks and began to throw them one by one. Those who were caught were knocked down, scrambling and rolling as they rushed for the exit

After riding for over a month, I saw a small town ahead and decided to enter to find a restaurant for a meal. I ordered two meat dishes and one vegetable dish, along with a pot of wine, and began to eat leisurely. Feng Xiaoxiao had never drunk alcohol before, but He Tishou enjoyed it and insisted on having him drink together. After a few rounds, he also grew fond of this beverage. His physique was unique; the alcohol would immediately be broken down upon entering his body, allowing him to truly drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. He had always yearned for the bold life of a chivalrous hero, feasting on meat and drinking heartily. From then on, every time he stopped for a meal, he would have a few cups of wine.

Mao Shiba, unable to move freely, could only sit on the bench and engage in a scuffle with those individuals, cursing Wu Sangui as a great traitor while fighting.

Wen Qingqing lightly tapped the armrest with a smile that seemed to be both a smile and not a smile

Thus, I turned and headed north, making my way to Beijing, to see if I could find Wei Xiaobao

Wen Qingqing was laughing incessantly with a "hee hee" sound, and Yuan Chengzhi couldn't help but smile.

He Tishou nodded repeatedly and said "yes," her smile as radiant as a flower. She only hoped to visit the Central Plains again, as she had grown tired of staying on this island. At that time, when Yuan Chengzhi took Feng Xiaoxiao as his disciple, she intervened merely to have more companions to play with in the future

He completely passed on the Broken Jade Fist to Feng Xiaoxiao, and within less than a month, he was already able to use it proficiently. However, there was no enhancement effect, which left him utterly perplexed.

The internal power of the Hunyuan Gong is unparalleled, possessing immense explosive force. The Poyuqian style of boxing delivers powerful strikes with great momentum, each punch akin to a hammer striking rock or a giant axe cleaving through a mountain. When executed with a 50% increase in power through "Wing Chun Half-Step Collapse," it becomes even more unstoppable, truly capable of shattering stone and breaking jade

Suddenly, a clattering sound erupted as seven or eight individuals armed with weapons simultaneously struck at Mao Shiba.

The other was a child of about twelve or thirteen years old, with delicate features and particularly lively eyes. The two of them ordered only a few bowls of noodles and a plate of scrambled eggs. While they were eating, they suddenly heard the sound of horses neighing and people shouting outside, as about seventeen or eighteen individuals surged in.

The wind rustled as he suppressed a smile, thinking to himself that his master had not learned his lesson over the years. This time, he would surely be in trouble, and he wondered how his master's wife would reprimand him.

By the third year, Yuan Chengzhi began to seclude himself every day, rarely making appearances. On the few occasions he did come out, it was always in a hurried manner.

Wei Xiaobao hurriedly hid under the table

The two traveled north, enjoying the mountains and waters with great delight. After this period of companionship, Feng Xiaoxiao and He Tishou grew increasingly close. Perhaps due to years of reclusive living, He Tishou was not difficult to get along with; at most, they would just engage in some playful banter.

As the wind rustled, upon hearing them talk for a while, it became clear that they were people of the Prince of Pingxi, Wu Sangui. Suddenly, this scene felt remarkably familiar.

Yuan Chengzhi shivered and quickly got up, scolding, "What are you still doing here? Hurry back to your rooms to prepare; we will set off tomorrow morning"

Yuan Chengzhi took out two letters and said: "These are letters for your two masters. You should first go to Mount Hua to find your eldest master, who is the head of the Mount Hua sect. Please ask him to accept you as a disciple. Then, copy some formulas for cultivating energy and enhancing skills to bring back. " He then raised his hand and pointed to the Golden Snake Sword, saying: "You can take the Golden Snake Sword for now; there should still be quite a few people in the martial world who recognize it, and it will earn you some respect."

While eating, two individuals entered the restaurant. One was a middle-aged man, rugged in appearance, carrying a large knife. His legs appeared to be injured, making his movements somewhat inconvenient.

Mao Shiba walked towards the person who had struck him, limping, to express his gratitude.
