Snowflakes fell one after another until the afternoon sun finally emerged from the clouds. It had to be said that this was a good sign. After all, a sunny day was better than a chilly wind blowing all over the ground.
Under the illumination of the afternoon sun, the icicles by the eaves slowly melted, finally turning into drops of cold water that rolled down. In a dark corner of the imperial prison, a man was naked and allowed the cold water to drip on his back. He was holding a book that was about to be flipped open and reading silently.
If someone looked at the man's face from a close distance, they would find that this person looked very similar to the current overlord of the Nine Regions. The clarity between his eyebrows was very similar to Wu Shengyuan, the leader of the revival of a generation.
All the old officials who had experienced the coup ten years ago knew the identity of the young man in front of them. He was the victim of the coup-Prince Chen Yuan, Wu Chen.
Wu Chen was the eldest son of the King of the Chen-Xing Empire. If nothing unexpected happened, the throne of the Chen-Xing Empire would naturally be his. With such a prominent birth and Wu Chen's talent, Prince Chen Yuan, who should have been able to rise smoothly, unexpectedly became the victim of a coup. He was demoted to a commoner and sent to prison. Wu Chen was eight years old that year.
If one were to rank all the dark places in the world, this prison would definitely be ranked among the top three. As an important place in a country, the lowest entry requirements for the imperial prison would require the slaughter of a few people. There were also many high-level ones who planned to rebel. There were countless sects and schools here, and they were as filthy and turbid as they could be.
As the saying went, a minister who did not want to be the emperor was not a good minister. Those who lived in the same cell as Wu Chen were all officials who had been imprisoned for treason.
Everything that happened back then had long passed, but the shadow of that year still remained. The child, who had been separated by the high wall for ten years, gradually grew up into a teenager.
Even after such a difficult experience, Wu Chen still couldn't forget the thought of clearing his mother's name. In other words, Wu Chen would never forget his mother's appearance when she died.
All the high and mighty queens, a chivalrous woman who once dominated the martial arts world, were nothing in the face of the threat of death. She was just a mother, a mother who swore to protect her child with her life. However, even such a great mother was given the infamy of the Demon Empress by someone with ill intentions not long after her death. In the end, she did not even have a place where her bones could be found.
Wu Chen was also the son of the current Emperor. In the past ten years, Wu Chen had not suffered much. He had enough food, but he did not have much money. He read mostly notes and practiced martial arts as usual, but he only practiced external skills and not internal skills. Even though such a life made Wu Chen lose his ambition to be a king, as a child, if he couldn't prove his mother's innocence, what was the point of living?
Every time he thought of this, Wu Chen's eyes would flash with a hint of hatred. As for the world? Was he blaming his father? Or was it because he didn't know about it? However, Wu Chen's desire to clear his mother's name hadn't changed for a single day.
"Little Chen is still reading? In this way, did he feel that his entire body was extremely hot and dry? There was also a feeling of fullness in his stomach, and he even felt a little bloated.”Just as Wu Chen was reading, a skinny old man in the opposite cell lifted the straw covering his body and looked at Wu Chen, who was using ice water to cool himself down, with interest.
"Elder Ji, how did you know about my situation?”After spending so much time in the imperial prison, the first thing Wu Chen understood was: "In this world, the only person you can trust is yourself. If you want to control your own destiny, you must first control yourself."
Even though Elder Ji had sent a voice transmission to him last night, it did not mean that he would help him without reservation. If he wanted to help, he would have done so last night, not after his battle with the dark spirit.
"Last night, you destroyed the Dao heart of the Yin soul, causing it to collapse. You have to know that Yin souls are the foundation of a cultivator's cultivation. As the saying went,'Shadowless in the day and formless in the night', the Yin Soul was a collection of Heaven Earth Yuan Qi. If a cultivator wanted to refine his own Yin soul and use it to harm people at night, he would need to fantasize about it for at least a dozen years. The Yin soul you encountered last night already had the ability to control dreams, which means that this person's cultivation had already reached the peak of Night Wandering the Heavens. However, with the collapse of his Dao heart, the vital qi accumulated in the Yin soul will naturally heat up and stay in your body. If you can't resolve this vital qi, you will die sooner or later because of this vital qi rushing into your body.”Stroking his white beard, Old Ji looked at Wu Chen with interest.
"Old Master, I've seen many things about ghosts and gods, but I've never heard of any ghosts or wandering gods.”It was a cultivation path that had no fate with orthodoxy. Until now, Wu Chen's cultivation still stopped at the level of strengthening his bones and muscles. Taking advantage of this opportunity to talk to Old Man Ji, Wu Chen naturally wouldn't let go of the opportunity to learn.
"Little Chen, you're not honest. I can tell you clearly that ghosts and night wandering do not only exist in the Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, but they are far from this society. Remember this sentence, the level depends on the level. You're just a prisoner now. This kind of thing is too far from your level, so it's better not to know. In fact, His Majesty did not allow you to practice martial arts because he was protecting you in another way. There's a fist technique here. Although it's not a good thing, the method of meditating, cultivating qi, grinding tendons, and refining bones can solve your current situation.”It was unknown where Elder Ji had found a plain yellow booklet, but he threw it to Wu Chen through the fence. After throwing it to Wu Chen, Elder Ji rolled up his sleeves and continued sleeping.
Elder Ji and Wu Chen had lived opposite each other for seven to eight years. In terms of feelings, this young man in front of him, whom he had watched grow up, was as close as his own grandson. However, Wu Chen's current situation was truly dangerous. Every wrong step he took would lead to a disaster. For Wu Chen, who had no capital at all, the consequences of taking a wrong step were definitely not something he could bear. Therefore, Elder Ji had no choice but to look at Wu Chen from the perspective of a third party. This was the only way to better protect Wu Chen.
"Thank you, Elder Ji." Even though Elder Ji had yet to resolve the doubts in Wu Chen's heart, when he saw the plain yellow booklet that was handed over, Wu Chen's face could not help but reveal a look of joy.
Since the age of eight, Wu Chen had been separated from the orthodox school, whether it was studying or practicing martial arts. For a young man who was eager to grow up and vowed to clear his mother's name, this was a kind of hardship. But today, Elder Ji had pointed out a path for Wu Chen to follow. Regardless of whether or not there was a hidden agenda behind this matter, Wu Chen was grateful to Elder Ji from the bottom of his heart.
As a direct descendant of the imperial family, how could Wu Chen not know how expensive this kind of plain yellow 'plain gold paper' was? How could a book made of plain gold paper be as Old Ji had said, only used for meditation, qi cultivation, and bone tempering? At the thought of this, Wu Chen's heart that had been suppressed for many years could not help but be relieved, and the joy on his face became even stronger.
" Cough, cough…" Just as Wu Chen was secretly rejoicing, Elder Ji's croak-like coughing could be heard from the opposite cell. Wu Chen's entire body shuddered when he heard the coughing sound, and he immediately hid the book in his hand, waiting for the sky to turn dark before looking for an opportunity to read it.
…
The sky slowly darkened. The black iron door that was used to block the passage in the imperial prison fell, and the entire imperial prison fell into the darkness. It was only when the last flame of the bonfire that was originally used for warmth was extinguished that Wu Chen took out the fist manual made of pure gold paper from the straw bush and read it with the help of the light from the skylight.
The moonlight after the snow was bright, but when the moonlight shone on the paper through the high skylight, it was far from enough to satisfy the conditions for reading. However, no matter how much hardship he had suffered, how could this little hardship stop Wu Chen's determination to become orthodox?
Flipping open the manual, the five bold and powerful words of the Southern Mountain Longevity Fist were printed on the paper. Just by looking at these five words, one could feel a majestic aura melting within, causing one's heart to tremble involuntarily.
" Nanshan Longevity Fist " was created in April of the first year of Hongwu in the Great Zhou Dynasty. This fist technique was passed down from the South Mountain. Since ancient times, the South Mountain was a place of spiritual beauty. There were countless legends of lone immortals and ghosts. There were even legends of immortal people in the South Mountain. Therefore, this fist technique was created and named " Nanshan Longevity Fist ".
The Nanshan Longevity Fist had a total of four chapters, including the Superclass. The first chapter recorded the outline, origin, and other information of the Nanshan Longevity Fist. The last three chapters recorded the levels of martial arts cultivation, and each chapter corresponded to a realm of martial arts cultivation.
Chapter 2: Skin Refining, Chapter 3: Artifact Refining, and Chapter 4: Marrow Transformation. As for the rest of the content, it was obvious that it had been torn off by someone else. However, to be able to obtain the cultivation method for the first three levels was a considerable gain for Wu Chen.
According to the general outline of the Southern Mountain Longevity Fist, the current martial arts cultivation was only one of the mainstream in the current cultivation world. As for the other cultivation methods, the general outline should have mentioned them, but they were erased by Elder Ji. However, this did not matter. At least Wu Chen knew the barriers of martial arts cultivation. Skin Refinement, Weapon Refinement, Marrow Transformation, Foundation Establishment, Essence Cultivation, Connate, Martial Saint, and Human Immortal.
Skin Refining: The foundation of a warrior's strength is blood essence. To ensure that blood essence is not lost, you need to refine all the hair on your body to form a leakless body. This step can be said to be the foundation of a warrior's cultivation.
[Artifact Refining: All living beings in the world have the five organs of heart, spleen, lung, and kidney. The heart is to fire, the lung is to metal, the kidney is to water, the spleen is to earth, and the liver is to wood. These are the foundation of the five elements and the foundation of all things. If you want to cultivate, you must hone these five organs.]
Marrow Transformation: Bone marrow is the foundation of blood production. To obtain pure blood and qi, one must purify the bone marrow, extract its essence and discard its dregs. However, the bone marrow is deeply rooted in the foundation of the human body, so it is difficult to change the bone marrow.
Knowing that this opportunity was not easy to come by, Wu Chen had carved the entire sequence of the Southern Mountain Longevity Fist into his mind in just one night. As for the fist manual made of pure gold paper, Wu Chen did not hesitate to throw it into the brazier until it was completely burned…
