Chapter 8: Master Dong's Unique Skills

We cannot afford to provoke the young masters of the ministers and military generals' families

Very well, now a single palm should possess the strength of a powerful bull, and a single strike of a thousand pounds is not a problem

Thus, Yan Qing went to a very secluded area in the royal family's back mountain to find a remote grove. After that, he carried eight iron pillars and drove them into the ground. After swallowing a Spirit Gathering Pill, he began to practice the Eight Trigram Palm technique based on the eight pillars.

Master Dong has a deep memory of this matter. Therefore, he has also conducted in-depth research on the Iron Sand Palm and the techniques of Dark Energy.

Third skill: wall painting

Always remember, after leaving the palace, you are no longer the Eighth Prince, but just an ordinary person. Zhao Chunfang nodded with concern and repeatedly reminded him.

Do not worry, mother, your son is sixteen years old now. He has come of age, look at this! With a surge of energy, Yan Chun reached out and pressed his hand against a grinding stone, lifting it up; the stone followed his palm, flipping in the air for a long time without falling down.

One must endure everything and never act recklessly. This palace is rife with disputes, and we are not like the other princes and young lords.

Master Dong also recorded the person Sha Huihui on the stone wall

It employs the Eight Major Stance Techniques as the foundation for its turning and grasping skills, integrating the Eight Major Circular Hand Techniques into a cohesive whole. It is based on the foundational movements of the first to eighth steps, featuring twisting and rotating that are coordinated and complete, moving like a swimming dragon and flipping like an eagle. The primary hand techniques include: piercing, inserting, chopping, lifting, horizontal striking, crashing, hooking, flipping, and supporting

At this moment, the time-space shovel trembled and soon emitted a soft sound. Yan Qing took a look and saw a line of text revealed on it—spiritual power exhausted, the time-space tunnel is about to collapse, return immediately, otherwise, it will be directly annihilated by the spatial turbulence

After leaving the palace and turning a few corners, I discovered a large crowd gathered. Upon squeezing in to take a look, I was surprised to find it was a job recruitment notice

A day's labor of brick moving earns thirty copper coins

This indicates that one has officially broken through to the second stage of the innate realm of martial artists

Well then, I still have one hundred taels of silver here; take it to help in an emergency

Final skill: Eight Steps in Midair

At this moment, a message came from the Time-Space Shovel: after breaking through the second stage, one can directly enter the Tomb Emperor's space for cultivation. Only then will you understand the function of the 'Time-Space Shovel Martial Embryo' being activated for the first time

If ordinary iron sand is used instead, money can indeed be saved. However, the effectiveness would be significantly compromised

The entire person utilizes internal energy to adhere to the wall or directly uses internal energy to attach tiles or stones to the wall without them falling off

The final vertical jump and gliding strike, extending the hand to deliver a fierce blow in the jungle, resonated with a thunderous sound. Several small trees, about the thickness of a bowl, in the mountains and forests snapped in response.

Once again wandering to a corner, he discovered a restaurant seeking a waiter, offering merely 20 copper coins a day, which further diminished Yan Qing's interest

Master Dong's application of internal energy has reached a level of consummate skill

The young man is quite carefree... The maid, Zhao Yue, clapped her hands in approval, her pair of lively eyes filled with excitement

Continuing further, Dong Haichuan demonstrated his remarkable skill: palm sticking to the stone mill. Once this technique is practiced to proficiency, one can directly place the palm on the stone mill, allowing it to move and rotate without falling off. This indicates the astonishing suction power of the palm energy, and furthermore, the palm energy perfectly integrates with the stone mill.

walking along the circle and "mud stepping, scissor legs, steady as sitting in a sedan chair"

Zhao Yue, you follow behind. Not long after Yan Qing left, Zhao Chunfang instructed, still feeling uneasy

For the first time digging a grave, the harvest was unexpectedly substantial, and Yan Qing was quite satisfied as he burrowed into the enlarged spatiotemporal shovel.

What a useless endeavor, it will take ages to gather three thousand taels. Yan Qing glanced at it, shook his head, and walked away. However, Yan Qing noticed that there were quite a few applicants. It seems that the State of Yan is not wealthy, as even such menial jobs have people eager to take them.

There is a difference of 136 years between these two time periods. Therefore, it is certainly impossible to go back. This is because the dimensions of space and time are not even on the same interface.

Did you see? Even if he encounters two martial artists of a higher rank, your son can completely run away. Moreover, your son went out to broaden his horizons and act discreetly, not to engage in fights

After taking a nap and having a meal, Yan Qing felt energized. Therefore, he decided to practice the martial arts technique created by Master Dong—Bagua Palm.

However, for Yan Qing, three thousand taels is simply an astronomical figure. The total expenses of his mother for two years amount to no more than three thousand taels

Yan Qing decided to go out for a walk to see if he could find an opportunity to make a fortune

Baguazhang is renowned for its agility, yet its striking power is not as fierce or rigid as that of the Iron Sand Palm. While its attack strength is abundant in fluidity, it lacks the overwhelming force.

It is essential to have the Gathering Spirit Elixir. The next step for Yan Qing is to prepare to cultivate the Iron Sand Palm of the treacherous character 'Sha Huihui'.

After ten days, it became increasingly proficient. The person moved around the post and continued striking it. Like a phantom. If someone were to see it, they might think it was a ghostly apparition

It has been several months since arriving in the State of Yan, and this is the first time Yan Qing has ventured out of the palace alone. Aside from that occasion of offering sacrifices to the gods, Yan Qing has been staying in the palace, nearly becoming a recluse.

Therefore, Yan Qing's idea is to merge these two styles of palm techniques into one. By incorporating the agility of Bagua Palm and the strength of Iron Sand Palm, it would result in a combination that is both agile and powerful. Wouldn't this make the attacks even more formidable?

The funeral parlor is hiring pallbearers, and the pay is relatively high, one hundred copper coins a day... It's unlucky, this prince is doing this...

However, upon feeling the small leather pouch at his side, Yan Qing could not help but make a bitter face. This was because there was only one last Gathering Spirit Pill left.

The academy is recruiting copyists, specifically for transcribing books, with a daily wage of 40 copper coins, but I refuse to do it

This is the legendary Bagua Palm! Yan Qing exclaimed, imprinting it in his heart

Therefore, it is extremely difficult for a poor family to produce a martial arts master

And I arrived in the State of Yan in 2016, having spent only a few months there.

"Qing'er, outside there are many powerful individuals, and it is extremely dangerous. It is regrettable that your mother currently lacks the authority to deploy the royal guards to protect you. Otherwise, you would be much safer with them by your side" Zhao Chunfang said with a worried expression

Where can one make money

The dung collector earns seventy copper coins a day, but it is too foul and cannot be done

The fifth year of the Guangxu era corresponds to the year 1880, and it is estimated that Master Dong decided to arrange for the construction of this false tomb shortly thereafter. Master Dong passed away in 1882, so this ancestral tomb should have been completed before his death.

Yan Qing let out a long sigh towards the sky, then observed the two dantians within his body, which were as small as pinholes, nearly the same size as the pinholes used by veterinarians to inject strong cattle. These pinholes were much larger than those used for intravenous injections in humans

The son remembered. Yan Qing nodded solemnly, and then quietly left the palace.

In the end, there is actually a postscript: In the fifth year of the Guangxu era, I passed by this place and discovered a small dragon crossing the mountain. I was greatly pleased and immediately decided to build a heritage tomb here, to be reserved for those destined to find it

In fact, Yan Qing is unaware. A typical five-member household in the State of Yan spends merely 10 copper coins a day. A bowl of mixed noodles costs only 1 copper coin. Earning 30 coins in a day is already considered a high wage

With a whoosh, another heart-wrenching sense of pressure surged forth. Suddenly, my surroundings brightened, and I found myself back in the courtyard of the Yan royal family.

Sha Huihui, this person has ulterior motives, but possesses extremely high skills in the Iron Sand Palm technique. Dong Haichuan's disciple, Ma Weikui, engaged in a spar with him and was secretly injured in the lower back by his palm's hidden force. At the time, he felt no immediate harm, but three days later, he succumbed to severe injuries and passed away.

Ba ba ba ... ...

Eight Seals Mastery Training Routine

Although Zhao Yue's abilities are not particularly impressive, she is still capable of conveying messages after an incident, and she is quite resourceful.

To cultivate the Iron Sand Palm, a large quantity of iron sand is required as the training material. After selection, Yan Qing believes that the 'Xuan Iron Sand' from the Yan State is the most suitable. However, the price of iron sand made from Xuan Iron is expensive, costing around three to four thousand taels of silver per ton

I see, Yan Qing has finally understood the ins and outs of the situation

To use is to use the best, this is Yan Qing's life motto

From the base of the tree to the tip, accomplished in one breath without a pause
