In a mountain villa, a group of men and women, old and young, were sitting around a round table eating dinner. It was the Liu family. Liu Yizhou was seated at the head of the table, and on his right sat a man and a woman. The man was Liu Weihua, the chief Shi whom Ye Feng had met at the gold shop, and the woman was Liu Weihua's wife, Liu Yan's second aunt, Wang Lan. On the left sat a middle-aged man who looked like a tiger. He was Liu Yizhou's eldest son, Liu Weidong, who was also Liu Yan's father. Beside Liu Weidong sat a young woman who looked to be in her forties. She looked quite similar to Liu Yan. Of course, she was Liu Yan's mother, Du Dan.
When Du Dan heard that something had happened to Liu Yan, she was extremely anxious. She immediately pulled her husband and drove over from Chengdu. Seeing that his daughter was safe and sound, Liu Weidong was relieved. He had nothing important to do in the Elder Brother Association these few days, so he stayed to accompany his old father. Liu Yan sat next to Du Dan. From time to time, she would look up at her grandfather, Liu Yizhou. It was unknown what Liu Yizhou was thinking about, but the corners of his mouth would occasionally curl up into a smile. Liu Yan could not help but ask curiously,"Grandpa, what are you thinking about? You're smiling so happily!" Liu Weidong glared at Liu Yan fiercely when he heard his daughter's voice. Liu Yan was so frightened that her neck shrank back. Liu Yizhou had a strict upbringing, and no one was allowed to talk at the dining table. Liu Yan knew that she had said something wrong, so she buried her head and continued eating, not daring to speak again.
Liu Yizhou was in a good mood today. When he heard Liu Yan's question, he didn't get angry. Instead, he glared at Liu Weidong, which made Liu Weidong feel puzzled. Liu Yizhou put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand and smiled."Grandpa has indeed encountered a great joyous event today!”
Everyone stopped when they heard the old man's words. Seeing that the old man was not angry and was talking instead, it seemed that the old man's good news was definitely not ordinary. They quietly waited for the old man to continue. Seeing that the old man was not angry, Liu Yan was delighted. She asked bluntly,"Grandpa, what is it? You're so happy! Could it be that he had taken a fancy to that old granny and wanted to have a twilight romance?”
Liu Yizhou rolled his eyes and said to everyone,"I met a young friend when I went for morning exercise today and got some good fortune. All of you should know that this old man has lived half of my life by relying on my skills. My brothers in the underworld gave me the nickname "Liu Yishou". The reason why I can live to this day and single-handedly carry forward the Elder Brother Association and establish this family business is because of this skill that I am proud of.”
At this point, Liu Yizhou paused and took a sip of tea before continuing,"Back then, I was still as old as Yan 'er. At that time, the country had just been established. I was studying archaeology at Chengdu University. One time, I followed the archeological team to excavate an ancient tomb of the Song Dynasty and found a small booklet in the tomb. At that time, the light in the tomb was dim, and when I saw that no one was paying attention, I secretly put it in my arms and brought it home. Do you know what is written in this booklet?”
Everyone was engrossed in listening and shook their heads, saying that they did not know.
" Iron Palm Secret Manual " Liu Yizhou said the question in everyone's mind word by word.
"Iron Palm?" Everyone said in unison.
Liu Yizhou nodded and said,"That's right, but this booklet was too damaged. This set of martial arts had a total of twelve levels, but after I repaired it with all my might, I was only able to sort out the cultivation method for the first level. Therefore, I practiced according to the cultivation method and in a few years, I mastered a pair of iron palms. It was with this pair of iron palms that I joined the Elder Brother Association and was quickly elected as a fellow brother in the association. Over the past few decades, I have cultivated the first level of the Iron Palm to the extreme, but I don't have a cultivation method for the next level. He was still unable to break through to the realm of producing Qi as mentioned in the book. He thought that he had no hope in this life, but he didn't expect that today's fortuitous encounter would fulfill his many years of wish.”
When everyone heard the old man talk about the secret manual, they felt that it was a little unbelievable. They felt that they were listening to a martial arts story, but no one dared to doubt the old man's words. The old master had always been a man of his word. He would never make up stories to tease them.
Liu Weidong's heart was in turmoil. Of course, he knew about the Iron Palm Technique that the old man had mentioned. He and his second brother had been forced to cultivate by the old man since they were young. Now that he was able to sit firmly on the seat of the elder brother, other than relying on the prestige of the old man, this set of martial arts could be said to be indispensable. However, he had never heard the old man talk about the origin of this cultivation method. The power of this Iron Palm Skill was huge, and he had long experienced it. Although his old man was already in his seventies and looked like he could be blown down by a strong wind, he had once seen the old man kill a crazy bull with one palm. It was even more difficult to split bricks and stones. The force of a casual palm was almost one to two hundred pounds.
He had practiced the Iron Palm Technique for many years. Although his strength was not as profound as the old man's, he could still exert a hundred pounds of strength with his palm. When he was young, he had heard the old man say that this cultivation method could produce Qi when practiced to the extreme. However, he and his second brother just listened to it like it went in one ear and out the other. At that time, although he did not say it out loud, he had some doubts in his heart. If it was true, why did the old man not produce Qi after cultivating for decades?
Nowadays, there were many kinds of internal martial arts circulating in society. There were all kinds of things. The Shaolin Temple even uploaded the secret manual of the temple, Yijinjing, on the Internet. However, no one had ever heard of anyone who could cultivate Qi, except for some Jianghu swindlers. Sometimes, he even felt that the old man was a little superstitious. How could things from martial arts novels appear in reality? However, the old man believed in it without a doubt. After so many years, Liu Weidong and Liu Weihua had already forgotten about this matter. However, now that the old man mentioned it again, it sounded like he had broken through to the next realm and had developed a sense of Qi.
"Did Father break through?" Liu Weidong couldn't help but ask.”
Liu Yizhou nodded with a smile. Liu Weidong and Liu Weihua could not help but gasp when they saw the old man nod and admit it. Liu Yizhou grabbed their wrists and circulated his internal energy. The two of them felt a thin stream of heat flowing into their bodies through their wrists and moving on their arms. This realistic feeling made the two of them look shocked. Their long-term education had told them that things like internal energy and Qi were all lies. However, the truth was right in front of them. The two of them did not think that the old man would lie to them.
Liu Yan, her mother, and second aunt heard the three of them speak in a mysterious and vague manner. They did not know what the father and son were doing, but from their expressions, it was definitely a good thing. When the man was talking, the woman could not interrupt. She sat quietly at the side and listened quietly.
