Chapter 154

Zhang Xiaohua was aghast. How could there be such a person? Not advising others to learn well and not even allowing them to practice fist techniques, then what was she supposed to do?

He Tianshu saw Zhang Xiaohua's puzzled look and whispered, "Do you know what I did last night?"

Zhang Xiaohua thought for a moment and said, "Since you didn't go to Intoxicated Fragrance House, you naturally stayed in the house. Could it be that you watched that for the entire night?"

Zhang Xiaohua used metaphors towards the end.

He Tianshu laughed, "Yes, didn't you see my two bloodshot eyes?

I watched it for the entire night.

It's really the best. I have lived for so long and have never felt so good. To be able to see it, my life was not in vain. "

Zhang Xiaohua beamed and said, "Is it really that good?

Then I have to take a good look. "

He Tianshu glared at her and said, "You're still young. Don't be in a hurry to look. Wait till I'm done with it and then I'll show it to you."

"We agreed that once you're done, you'll immediately show it to me." Zhang Xiaohua still did not let him off.

He Tianshu looked around and said, "Alright, there are too many people here. It's not convenient to talk about it. Hurry up and eat. After you're done, go to my room. I'll show it to you and let you have a good time."

Under He Tianshu's urging, Zhang Xiaohua ate the fastest breakfast she had since entering Huan Xi Mountain Villa. Then, the two of them hurriedly left under the puzzled gazes of Nie Xiao 'er and the rest.

When the two of them returned to He Tianshu's house, He Tianshu carefully looked behind him. After confirming that no one was following them, he closed the door and said to Zhang Xiaohua, "Zhang Xiaohua, you don't know. There's no need to be afraid of not knowing the goods, but to be afraid of comparing the goods.

I can be considered a direct disciple of Misty School. In the past, I always felt that what I learned was the essence of Misty School. Last night, I saw the Ethereal Steps and only then did I know that those were all dregs and rubbish. Compared to this Ethereal Steps, it's not even worthy of carrying its shoes.

Sigh, it's indeed worthy of being one of the three divine arts of Misty School. "

Zhang Xiaohua was confused and asked, "Captain He, what do you mean?

Wasn't Ethereal Steps a type of footwork?

Why is it so magical? "

He Tianshu curled his lips and said, "I knew it would be like playing the lute to a cow. You don't have my realm, so you wouldn't understand even if I told you."

Zhang Xiaohua said, "Captain He, don't forget. Regarding the Ethereal Steps, Chief Ou was the one who spoke. You must answer."

Hearing this, He Tianshu reluctantly said, "This Ethereal Steps is a type of footwork, which is why it's called magical. Look at the first three levels, the first level is the beginning of Qing Gong. Ethereal Steps is different from other Qing Gong, as it doesn't require too much internal energy to support it. It relies more on the surrounding environment and the user's inertia, so it's especially suitable for people like you who don't have any internal energy. Look at the second level, it's a type of footwork. It's a footwork that can be used in a narrow space. According to this, if you master it, when facing an enemy, you can let the enemy slash you with a saber. As long as you use your footwork, the saber won't be able to touch you at all."

"Ah!?" Zhang Xiaohua opened her mouth wide and said, "It's that magical?"

"Yes, I couldn't believe it when I saw it yesterday." He Tianshu said excitedly.

Zhang Xiaohua immediately asked, "Then, when can I learn it?"

"This, wait for me to take a look. After I've completely figured it out, I'll teach you. How about that?" He Tianshu said awkwardly.

When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, the corner of her mouth revealed a slight smile. She thought to herself, "Hehe, usually people say that my aptitude is bad, but look at yourself. Didn't you have this day too?

Presumably, this footwork is very complicated and won't be learned in a short period of time. "

Zhang Xiaohua's guess wasn't wrong. Compared to Zhang Xiaohua, He Tianshu's aptitude was much better. But in the Misty School filled with talents, to be honest, it wasn't outstanding. What was this Ethereal Steps? It was known as the Misty School's Three Great Divine Techniques. It wasn't something that anyone could learn easily. Even a genius like Ou Peng had to rely on the help of medicine to reach the large success stage.

It was simply wishful thinking for He Tianshu to think that he could learn most of it in just a short period of time.

However, since Ou Peng was willing to teach this footwork to him, he naturally had his own plans. The first three levels of the technique were only the foundation of the divine technique. The requirements weren't as high as the fourth level and above. The fourth level and above were the true essence of the Ethereal Steps. That was the Misty School's secret technique that wasn't passed on. If it wasn't a direct disciple, it would definitely not be taught.

Therefore, Ou Peng also knew that with Zhang Xiaohua's aptitude and without guidance, it was impossible for her to successfully learn it. This was why he pulled He Tianshu, who hadn't received any rewards, into this. It had to be said that this was an opportunity for He Tianshu.

After Zhang Xiaohua finished sharing her joy, He Tianshu chased her out and said, "Today, I will stay in the house to study your martial arts future. Let Nie Xiao Er help me take care of the medicine field first. Don't be lazy. Go over there and take a look. Pay attention. You can only learn it after I learn it. Don't drag me down."

Zhang Xiaohua was speechless. During this period of time, she went to the medicine field every day. She didn't have any intention of being lazy. Manor Master Ou had promised her that if she wanted to go, she would go. It didn't matter if she didn't go.

When Zhang Xiaohua came to the medicine field with a head full of black lines, she saw Nie Xiao Er and the others huddled together and whispering. When they saw Zhang Xiaohua coming over, they scattered like birds and beasts.

Zhang Xiaohua was puzzled. She hadn't been to the medicine field for two days. Why did she feel so unfamiliar?

When they were eating breakfast, weren't they still talking?

Thus, Zhang Xiaohua saw Nie Xiao Er not far away and walked over. Nie Xiao Er saw Zhang Xiaohua approaching and squinted his eyes at Zhang Xiaohua. His expression was very ambiguous. Zhang Xiaohua looked at him and was even more puzzled. She asked, "Brother Xiao Er, what were you guys talking about just now?"

Nie Xiao Er said, "Nothing much?

Just chatting a little. "

Zhang Xiaohua asked, "Then you guys can continue chatting. Why did you guys stop chatting when I came?"

"Ai ~" Nie Xiao Er sighed and said, "What's there to chat about? It's useless. Drunken Fragrance House is good to chat about. Besides, we don't have any chun gong to look at. We're just casually chatting."

"Drunken Fragrance House?

Chun gong? "

Zhang Xiaohua seemed to understand something. However, she didn't want to explain anything. She smiled and prepared to walk to the other side.

But Nie Xiao Er wasn't having it. He grabbed Zhang Xiaohua's wrist and asked, "Where did you get chun gong?

You let Captain He see it. Why are you still hiding in the house?

You don't even come to the medicine field? "

Zhang Xiaohua looked at Nie Xiao Er seriously and said, "Brother Xiao Er, when did you find out about this?"

Nie Xiao Er pursed his lips and said, "Didn't you guys talk about it during breakfast? Do you think we're all idiots and can't tell?"

Zhang Xiaohua asked helplessly, "Then have you seen Captain He look at these things before?"

"Not really." Nie Xiao Er thought for a moment and replied, "But that doesn't mean he won't look at them now."

Zhang Xiaohua said seriously, "Brother Xiao Er, it's wrong to measure the heart of a gentleman with one's own yardstick. Captain He is one of the three most ambitious, ambitious, and confident disciples in your Misty School. He is a role model for all of you to learn from. You can't arbitrarily judge others based on just a few words. If Captain He finds out, he will definitely report you to your Hallmaster for slander."

Nie Xiao Er was anxious and asked, "But if you guys aren't looking at those things, why are you being so secretive?"

When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, the corners of her mouth curled into a smile. She raised a finger and shook it, saying, "I can't say, I can't say."

Then, she left the confused Nie Xiao Er and went down to the medicine field.

The medicinal herbs in the medicine field were still the same. Those that had not sprouted were still bare on the ground. Those that had already sprouted were still sprouted, and some that had already grown into plants were standing upright in the breeze. Although it was already spring, the time when everything was recovering and full of vitality, the medicine field was a different scene.

Zhang Xiaohua had been reading books for a long time and had gained a lot of knowledge. She knew that the growth of medicinal herbs was dependent on age. If they were harvested after a year, they would not be called medicinal herbs, but crops. The older the medicinal herbs were, the more valuable they were, and the greater the medicinal value.

However, the weeds in the field did not care whether they were expensive medicinal herbs or cheap crops. They were the most vigorous in the spring and had already grown crazily. Normally, Tian Chongxi, Ma Jing, and the others could do the work of weeding, but why did they have to use people from the Misty School's Pharmaceutical Hall?

Zhang Xiaohua did not quite understand.

Without the meaning of confidentiality, it could only be said that the Misty School was rich and had a lot of talents. They sent a few disciples who knew internal strength to weed and show the school's face.

During the lunch break, Zhang Xiaohua went to the woods and practiced the Fist of the North Star eight times. The boiling hot flow came as expected and flowed throughout her body with the moves. Zhang Xiaohua was really convinced that she had really reached the second level of the Fist of the North Star. Now, what needed to be verified was whether she could break through the limit of nine times a day. If so, she could increase it with every level, but how many times could the second level appear in a day?

Under Zhang Xiaohua's tireless pursuit, Zhang Xiaohua simply stayed in the woods to practice martial arts in the afternoon. Anyway, Ou Yan had already said that she could do whatever she wanted. With this instruction, why should she not use it?

In the end, when the warm flow appeared nine times, Zhang Xiaohua looked forward to the tenth time. Sure enough, when the eightieth time of the Fist of the North Star began, the warm flow began to flow throughout her body. After finishing the practice, Zhang Xiaohua realized that the sun above her head was setting in the west. The horizon was inlaid with endless rosy clouds. Dusk was coming.

Thinking that she could still practice martial arts at night, Zhang Xiaohua gave up on trying the eleventh time. Compared to the improvement of her fist technique, Zhang Xiaohua was more depressed about her Carefree Heart Sutra internal energy. Although she was mentally prepared, she couldn't help but feel depressed when faced with the cruel reality. Seeing that it was still early, Zhang Xiaohua sat cross-legged and began practicing the unique cultivation method of the Heart Sutra.

Only when the sky was completely dark and her stomach was rumbling did Zhang Xiaohua slowly walk out of the woods. Her calm face didn't show any joy or anger. Setbacks made people improve. Amidst the endless failures, Zhang Xiaohua didn't seem to be without gains.

He Tianshu actually didn't go for dinner!

This was what Zhang Xiaohua found inconceivable. In Zhang Xiaohua's heart, there was nothing more important than eating. Food was the most important thing for the people.

He remembered that when Zhang Xiaohua saw this sentence in a book, he couldn't help but clap his hands. He felt quite a bit of sorrow in his heart. It really hit the bottom of his heart.

And He Tianshu's behavior of not eating puzzled him. Wasn't it just a mystical footwork?

There was no need to be so focused on it that he forgot to eat and sleep. Of course, as He Tianshu's close companion and part-time disciple, Zhang Xiaohua didn't lack in bringing back food for He Tianshu. Even Nie Xiao Er was a bit doubtful whether he was bringing back dinner for He Tianshu or supper for himself.

When Zhang Xiaohua excitedly brought his concern to He Tianshu's hut and pushed open the door to enter, the scene in front of him made him pull back his foot.

The hut was pitch-black and there was no light. He could vaguely see a figure leaning over the table, snoring evenly. Zhang Xiaohua immediately understood that He Tianshu was so tired that he fell asleep.

Zhang Xiaohua pulled back his foot and gently closed the door. He walked back to his hut and looked at the snacks and other things in his hands. He was secretly delighted. There would be a rich supper tonight!

After a short rest, Zhang Xiaohua ran into the woods to practice his fist technique. He really wanted to know if he could make the eleventh flow appear.

Unfortunately, after he finished practicing the Big Dipper Magical Fist eight times, the flow didn't appear. Zhang Xiaohua didn't care. He first practiced the sword in his left hand for a while, then sat down cross-legged and practiced "Nine shallow and one deep".

In the spring night, the cool breeze blew gently. Many of the plants were green and the world was full of vitality. Zhang Xiaohua sat calmly. In the "Nine shallow and one deep" breathing, he quickly entered a very peaceful state. It was a state of indifference without joy or sorrow. It had to be said that this special breathing technique was very effective.

After adjusting his state, Zhang Xiaohua began to search for the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth scattered around him. Maybe the method was wrong, or maybe Zhang Xiaohua's aptitude was not good enough, or maybe there was no Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth in the surroundings. In short, after a long time, Zhang Xiaohua still couldn't find any trace of Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth.

Moreover, even if Zhang Xiaohua opened all the pores on his body early on, the endless starlight in the vast night sky didn't swarm into Zhang Xiaohua's body like last night.

After busying himself for a long time, Zhang Xiaohua still couldn't find the flow of Yuan Qi. He stood up, not dispirited in the slightest. Although he was still a youth, after practicing the Carefree Heart Sutra for so long, it seemed to have a trace of influence on Zhang Xiaohua's state of mind. It seemed to have such a flavor.

When he passed by He Tianshu's small house, there was still no light. Presumably, this cheap master was still dreaming.

After reading for a while, Zhang Xiaohua sat on the kang bed with his mind in the air like yesterday. Not long after, Zhang Xiaohua fell asleep.

Soon, the endless starlight lingered around Zhang Xiaohua like moths to a flame. Compared to the forest, Zhang Xiaohua's "nine shallow and one deep" didn't change. His pores were also open. The only difference was perhaps the flickering in his dream.

Perhaps Twinkle had given life to Zhang Xiaohua's breathing and made it resonate with the stars in the sky, which was why it attracted the starlight?

Perhaps?

Or perhaps?

Was it certain?

No one could say for sure.

However, the flow of Yuan Qi in Zhang Xiaohua's body was real. The Yuan Qi that was dormant in the middle of his dantian during the day came out alive, happily absorbing the addition of the starlight. Under the flickering, it was constantly merging, changing, and compressing.

If one observed carefully, one could still see that the Yuan Qi in the body was strengthened after one cycle. However, the increase was very small. Compared to the addition of the starlight, it was insignificant.

Very quickly, after nine days of cultivation, the Yuan Qi in Zhang Xiaohua's body increased by a lot. However, this was the beginning of the qualitative change to quantitative change. The Yuan Qi was still very little. Even if Zhang Xiaohua used his power to move it, he still couldn't feel it. He could only sigh and feel inferior. Where is the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth? Why can't I find it at all?

After cultivating like this for a few days, there was still no movement from He Tianshu's side. Zhang Xiaohua wasn't in a hurry. Anyway, he was still looking for the feeling of Qi. Without internal energy, how could Qinggong be called Qinggong? Even if He Tianshu taught him, he wouldn't be able to use it.

However, accidents often happen. One morning, just as Zhang Xiaohua was about to go out to the forest to practice martial arts, he saw a black shadow jump over the wall of the small courtyard. It fell from the sky, giving Zhang Xiaohua a fright. When he looked closely, it was He Tianshu with two large dark circles under his eyes.

Zhang Xiaohua looked at He Tianshu in shock and said, "Captain He, not sleeping will affect your beauty. Although we men don't need to pay too much attention, we still need to pay a little attention. If your face is seen by the Hall Master of the Pharmacy, he might ask for overtime pay from our Manor Master Ou."

He Tianshu seemed to be in a good mood and didn't mind Zhang Xiaohua's witty words. He said, "Let's go, Zhang Xiaohua. Let's go to the forest where you practice your fist. I'll first explain the basics of Ethereal Steps to you."

When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, he happily said, "Captain He, you've mastered the first level?"

He Tianshu proudly said, "Is there a need to say?

No matter what, Captain He is still considered an outstanding figure in Misty School. "

"Hehe, is that so?" Zhang Xiaohua asked with a smile.

He Tianshu frowned and said, "Don't waste time. Let's go. After I teach you, I still need to look at the contents."

When Zhang Xiaohua followed He Tianshu to the forest, He Tianshu explained to Zhang Xiaohua what he had learned from the past few days in detail. As it turned out, Ethereal Steps' qinggong was different from other qinggong techniques. It was only a kind of technique, a kind of footwork and the application of internal energy. The reason why He Tianshu used such a long time to cultivate was not only to learn the techniques of Ethereal Steps, but more importantly, to change his previous qinggong techniques, adding his understanding of Ethereal Steps into his current techniques.

After He Tianshu finished explaining, Zhang Xiaohua pondered for a long time. Just as she was about to speak, He Tianshu beat her to it and said, "You don't understand, don't understand, right?

It's okay, I'll explain it to you again. "

After saying that, he was about to explain it a second time. Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly said, "No, Captain He, I understand. I just want you to demonstrate it to me."

He Tianshu didn't dare to believe his ears and asked again, "Really?

You really understood it?

This is something that I've been thinking about for a few days. You understood it all at once? "

Zhang Xiaohua thought for a moment and said, "Yes, Captain He, I think I really understand it."
