"How do you know I'm an old farmer?" Old Huang asked with a smile.”
Yuan Luochuan was stunned for a moment. That's right, Elder Huang had never said that he was a farmer. Yuan Luochuan had only guessed based on Elder Huang's shabby clothes.
"Then what do you do?" Yuan Luochuan asked curiously.
Old Huang shook his head and said,"Let bygones be bygones."”
However, the more Elder Huang acted like this, the more curious Yuan Luochuan became. He said," Elder Huang, you know that Li Xu's injury was caused by Ji Wuye. You also know that the Mohist family built the City of Traps in the mountains over a hundred years ago. You also know so much about the School of Political Traversing. You're definitely not simple. Tell me, what did you do in Han Country?"”
Elder Huang ignored him and asked," Then you don't seem surprised by what I said at all. It's as if you're used to it. How did you know?"”
" Uh…" Yuan Luochuan stood there for a long time without saying anything. Elder Huang didn't continue asking. He smiled, got up, and continued on his way.
"Everyone has a secret in their heart. Don't try to pry into it, especially when you're still very weak. Otherwise, you might pay the price with your life. In the future, when you are in the martial world, you must remember this.”After taking a few steps, Elder Huang suddenly turned around and said to Yuan Luochuan.
Yuan Luochuan quickly caught up with Elder Huang and walked alongside him. The two of them were silent for a while. Yuan Luochuan suddenly asked," Elder Huang, with your knowledge, do you think it's too late for me to practice martial arts now?"”
Elder Huang looked at Yuan Luochuan in surprise. He didn't understand why he would ask such a question, so he asked," You want to practice martial arts?" Then what do you want to do with martial arts? Kill the enemy? Fame? Or was he also planning to become the number one in the world?”
"I want to protect myself!" Yuan Luochuan replied.”
"The King of Qin has already destroyed Han and Wei, and is now besieging Zhao. Zhao will definitely not live long. Although Fei Xue Ge's job was good, an actress was still an actress. Moreover, after Qin destroyed Zhao, their target would definitely be Yan Country. Fei Xue Pavilion won't be able to protect me for long. When the Yan Country is destroyed, how can I survive in this world without the strength to even tie a chicken? Right now, I only want to obtain some martial arts techniques so that I can protect myself in this chaotic world.”Yuan Luochuan said firmly.
"With your knowledge, why don't you seek a position as a strategist? If you're willing, I'm sure many countries will treat you as a distinguished guest! Isn't that beautiful?" Elder Huang asked.
"Humph." Yuan Luochuan said disdainfully," Accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger. Being the king's advisor is no different from pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth and asking the tiger for its skin. Besides, which of the past kings could not share happiness and hardship but not wealth?”
A look of admiration flashed in Elder Huang's eyes. He then began to seriously size up Yuan Luochuan. After a long while, he shook his head and said regretfully," The best time to practice martial arts is when you are a child. You need to lay a foundation at that time and practice diligently the day after tomorrow. Those with good talent will have some small achievements in ten years. As for you, your meridians have already grown. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to make any progress in martial arts.”
Although Yuan Luochuan was mentally prepared, he still felt a little disappointed when he heard Elder Huang's words.
"Then Ge Nie, Wei Zhuang didn't grow up in Phantom Valley, and he only studied there for three years, didn't he?" Yuan Luochuan said with a competitive tone.”
"The fact that the two of them were able to enter the Ghost Valley means that they are peerless geniuses in martial arts. In addition, they had a foundation before they went to the Ghost Valley and cultivated diligently after they left the Ghost Valley. That's why they have their current status in the Jianghu.”Elder Huang explained.
"Then do I really have no chance at all?”Yuan Luochuan asked unwillingly.
This time, Elder Huang did not deny it immediately. Instead, he said ambiguously," That's not true. It's just that the chances are very small. It's so small that it's negligible."”
Yuan Luochuan heard that he still had a chance, so he quickly asked,"What can we do?"”
"There will always be some natural treasures in the world that can bring people back to life, let alone open their veins," said Elder Huang. However, even if he found such a spirit herb, it would be useless if there was no one who knew how to make it. Or perhaps, someone who had mastered martial arts would teach him his entire life's worth of internal strength. In that case, it would be able to offset his innate deficiency. However, how could anyone be willing to give up what they had learned in their lifetime and pass it on to others? That's why I said that the chances of this happening are too small, so small that it can be ignored.”
Elder Huang's words reminded Yuan Luochuan of Tianming. He had been taught all his internal energy by the giant, and then he had become a high-level rookie who had internal energy but didn't know how to use it.
Hearing Elder Huang's words, Yuan Luochuan couldn't help but feel a little dejected. It seemed like he really wasn't fated to be an expert anymore.
Elder Huang saw Yuan Luochuan's disheartened expression. He reached out and patted Yuan Luochuan's head." It's alright. Heaven and Earth doesn't say that only martial arts can make one strong."”
Who knew that Yuan Luochuan would say," Everything depends on one's own efforts. If I don't do my best, why would Heaven favor me?"”
Elder Huang's hand paused on Yuan Luochuan's head.
Then, he broke off a branch from the tree beside him and walked to Yuan Luochuan's side. He sat cross-legged and began to draw on the ground with the branch. After a while, Yuan Luochuan saw Elder Huang stop what he was doing. He waved at Yuan Luochuan, signaling him to come over.
Yuan Luochuan walked towards Elder Huang and looked at the ground. The first thing he saw was a simple looking person holding something that looked like a sword. His left leg was straight and his right leg was bent. The second picture was of a person with his sword in a straight line. It could be understood as a downward dash, but Yuan Luochuan thought that this person was spinning in the air. The last one was of a man kneeling on one knee, holding his sword in his right hand while his left hand caressed the blade.
"What did you see?" asked Elder Huang.”
To be honest, Yuan Luochuan felt that he had seen the moves of the three little people drawn by Elder Huang before, but he couldn't remember where.
Back when he was at Xuanji Technology, Yuan Luochuan had collected quite a bit of information on martial arts, so he didn't find it strange just because he seemed to have seen it before.
Yuan Luochuan took a closer look at Elder Huang's drawing. He felt that this person seemed to be using some very common moves. Only the last one was a little strange. When he was using a sword, why was he holding the sword with his back and kneeling on one leg? Could it be that he was proposing?
But the last one looked so imposing.
Yuan Luochuan said,"The people in these three pictures don't have any gorgeous martial arts techniques. Instead, every move they make is very imposing."”
Old Huang laughed and said,""Kid, your foundation is not good, but your eyesight is good, and your temperament is very straightforward! That's right, these are just a few simple moves that are used to accumulate sword force. I've asked others about them before, but they all said that these moves are very powerful and terrifying.”
"After all this time, their flattery has landed on the horse's leg.”
Elder Huang wiped away the traces on the ground, stood up, and said to Yuan Luochuan,""To cultivate martial arts, you must first understand what you should specialize in. If you learn too many things, it will become complicated.”
Yuan Luochuan thought for a moment and said,"If it's possible, I'd like to learn swordsmanship."”
"The sword is lonely. If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. If you wanted to become a swordsman, then you were destined to be with the sword for the rest of your life.”
" However, no matter how different the martial arts in the world are, they are ultimately all driven by internal energy," Elder Huang continued." Therefore, if you want to learn martial arts, cultivating internal energy is the most important thing."”
Yuan Luochuan nodded and said in agreement,""Elder Huang, do you have any ideas?”
"I only have a simple method to cultivate internal energy," said Elder Huang.”
Yuan Luochuan hurriedly stepped forward and said with a look of desire,""Elder Huang, let me take a look!"
"What are you looking at?" Elder Huang asked in confusion.”
"It's a martial arts manual for cultivating inner force.”
Elder Huang knocked Yuan Luochuan's head hard and scolded him jokingly,""Different people will cultivate different internal energy according to different methods. Therefore, once you activate your internal energy, others can judge the origin of your martial arts based on your internal energy. This is not recorded in books.”
"Oh, I see." Yuan Luochuan suddenly realized.
"Alright, my internal energy cultivation is very simple. First, you empty your mind and body, then adjust your mind and body. Take three breaths and one breath, then three breaths and two breaths, two breaths and two breaths, and so on. If you can feel a wave of heat running around in your physical strength, how can it prove that you are fated with me? Otherwise, I can't help you.”Elder Huang said.
