Chapter 90

The sweet and tender world made Baixiaosheng unable to extricate himself, but fortunately, he never forgot his original intention. Each time he undressed and saw the silk ribbon, it reminded him—martial arts!

More than a month later, Baixiaosheng finally began his studies. He no longer taught Mu Wanqing but let her learn on her own, coming to him only when she had questions. He himself immersed himself in the divine techniques and secret skills.

The *Guiyuan Gong* and *Yijin Duugug Pian* were absolutely eye-catching, making him infatuated. However, should he practice the *Guiyuan Gong*? Baixiaosheng was indecisive. Practicing this technique would certainly disperse his martial arts skills. He was reluctant to lose the profound internal strength he had worked so hard to cultivate. But... touching his chest and feeling the silk ribbon, he seemed to sense the person's unwillingness.

Perhaps, the *Yijin Duugug Pian* would be enough, but why do I also feel a sense of unwillingness?

After repeatedly flipping through and reading the *Guiyuan Gong* and *Yijin Duugug Pian*, he finally decided to practice the *Guiyuan Gong*. Although the main idea of the *Guiyuan Gong* is to disperse one's internal strength, the *Yijin Duugug Pian* is an excellent internal technique for cultivating internal strength. This technique contains many ideas, which are also found in the *Shenzu Jing* that Baixiaosheng was practicing. Since the person was a穿越客 (time traveler), they naturally would not abandon the *Shenzu Jing*, and there was also a thousand-year-old cold jade bed in the cave.

The *Yijin Duugug Pian* combined with the thousand-year-old cold jade bed would definitely allow him to quickly recover his strength.

Having made his decision, Baixiaosheng told Mu Wanqing. His decision surprised her, but she supported him, though she was inevitably worried. For this reason, Mu Wanqing moved into the cave with him and watched over him day and night.

Sitting on the cold jade bed, Baixiaosheng visualized the text of the *Guiyuan Gong*, and the subtle principles gradually sank into his mind, making his internal strength move accordingly. Bit by bit, his internal strength was expelled, and when it reached a foot away from his body, it was pulled back by the body's suction, swirling around the surface. As he expelled more internal strength, the external internal strength grew stronger, forming a vortex that swirled and roared.

Faintly, Mu Wanqing seemed to see Baixiaosheng enveloped in a layer of light, like a celestial being. She looked at the figure on the bed with concern, feeling the pressure of the protective aura.

Suddenly, the protective aura emitted a powerful repelling force, making Mu Wanqing lose her balance and fall to the ground. She quickly got up, took two steps back, and leaned against the wall, her eyes full of worry.

On the cold jade bed, Baixiaosheng's internal strength circulated back and forth, gradually decreasing. This time, his internal strength was reduced by one-third.

The *Guiyuan Gong* is profound, but it cannot expel all his internal strength at once, as that would be too wasteful. The technique states that for efficiency, it is best to expel a small amount of internal strength at a time to maximize the utilization of the expelled internal strength.

The first time, Baixiaosheng expelled one-third.

The second time, he expelled another one-third. Three times in total!

He spent three days, once a day, then studied the *Guiyuan Gong* and *Yijin Duugug Pian*. After three days, his internal strength was completely expelled, leaving him without any internal strength.

Feeling the strength in his body, Baixiaosheng felt quite strange. His internal strength was gone, and so was the powerful force, but the strong physical strength was real. He knew this was the strength brought by the improvement of his physical body, which he could clearly feel with a clenched fist. This feeling was no less powerful than the strength brought by internal strength.

Or rather, this strength was too real, and its power was evident in every movement, while internal strength required application.

"Hubby, have some water!" Mu Wanqing handed him a bamboo cup, and Baixiaosheng instinctively took it, but the bamboo cup shattered in his hands. He looked at his hands and smiled bitterly, "Wanying, my strength has increased, and I can't control it yet."

Mu Wanqing rolled her eyes and picked up another bamboo cup, feeding him herself. Under Mu Wanqing's care, Baixiaosheng did not make too many mistakes, but it was difficult to master his strength. When he stepped on the ground, he left footprints. It was like someone suddenly gaining great internal strength and being unable to control it.

To quickly master this strength, Baixiaosheng slowly trained, also thinking about their future cultivation.

That night, he held Mu Wanqing and said softly, "Wanying, the path of martial arts is vast and profound. At a high level, it can extend one's lifespan. Now, I have decided to delve deeper into martial arts. As my wife, do you want to accompany me on this journey?"

Mu Wanqing nodded and said, "Of course. I don't want to die and have you find another woman. I want to keep an eye on you."

Hearing this, Baixiaosheng was delighted and said, "Good! Tomorrow, you will use the *Guiyuan Gong* to disperse your internal strength."

"Good!" Mu Wanqing agreed without hesitation.

The next morning, Baixiaosheng taught her the *Guiyuan Gong* and had her disperse her internal strength according to the method. Mu Wanqing's internal strength was not deep, and it took only two times to disperse her internal strength. Her strength also increased significantly, though not as much as Baixiaosheng's, and she made many mistakes. For this, Baixiaosheng acted as a nanny for a few days, personally serving her until she could initially control her strength.

After that, the two trained their physical strength, and Baixiaosheng also thought about what techniques they should practice.

There were countless divine techniques and secret skills here, and any one of them could drive the martial arts world into a frenzy. However, to go far, one must think long-term. With so many divine techniques, the two could not learn all of them, and the combination had to be carefully considered.

The *Yijin Duugug Pian* is the foundation, an unparalleled method for training the body and refining internal strength. Baixiaosheng could not miss it, and both he and Mu Wanqing could practice it. After initially mastering their physical strength, the two began to practice this technique. Although this technique does not increase internal strength quickly, it is not slow either, as its principles involve the *Shenzu Jing*. However, this technique requires extremely pure internal strength, and much of the cultivated internal strength is dispersed, making the increase in internal strength appear slow.

With this technique as the foundation, Baixiaosheng was not in a hurry to practice other techniques. During this time, he and Mu Wanqing discussed seriously.

With Mu Wanqing's limited perspective, the first thing she thought of was the *Beiming Shen Gong* because it was too powerful. However, to break through to the innate realm, one must practice the *Xiaowuxiang Gong* and the *Chunyang Zhi Gong*. The *Xiaowuxiang Gong* is easy to practice, but the *Chunyang Zhi Gong* is a yang technique that Mu Wanqing cannot practice. Therefore, if they started with the *Beiming Shen Gong*, Baixiaosheng would have to find a way to get the *Bahuang Liuhe Weiduzun Gong* from Old Tong.

This seems difficult!

Moreover, Baixiaosheng was still somewhat worried about the *Beiming Shen Gong*. Look at the time traveler who failed because of this technique. Perhaps breaking through to the innate realm is not a problem, but what about after that? Baixiaosheng not only wants to break through to the innate realm but also hopes to reach a higher level. Thus, this technique has already been excluded from his mind.

Without a decision, the two continued to practice the *Yijin Duugug Pian*. Although this technique is effective, its improvement in physical strength is limited, and the refinement of internal strength also has a limit. Unless your internal strength increases rapidly, the effect of this technique is almost invisible. After just three months, the two, who were re-cultivating internal strength, no longer felt the effect. They knew they had to make a decision.

Sitting among a pile of divine techniques and secret skills, the two flipped through and discussed them one by one. Finally, they came up with several combinations: *Qiankun Dadianyi* combined with *Chunyang Wujigong* or *Chunyang Zhi Gong* or *Xiaowuxiang Gong*... *Qiankun Dadianyi* was the first technique they chose. This technique is more powerful than *Douxing Xingyi*. *Douxing Xingyi* is essentially a method of using internal strength to borrow force, and *Qiankun Dadianyi* also has this method, but its most famous aspect is controlling the yin and yang energies within the body, developing the body's potential. In this regard, *Douxing Xingyi* cannot compare.

The two felt that since they wanted to enter the innate realm, practicing this technique would be a good auxiliary method.

However, *Qiankun Dadianyi* also has a flaw, which is that its method of cultivating internal strength is not very advanced, focusing more on the purity of internal strength, similar to the *Yijin Duugug Pian*. Therefore, the two also needed to learn a divine technique that could quickly increase internal strength.

"Wanying, I think you should practice *Qiankun Dadianyi* and *Xiaowuxiang Gong*," Baixiaosheng thought for a long time and chose the techniques for Mu Wanqing to practice. She nodded in agreement, as she also hoped to practice *Xiaowuxiang Gong* because it is a technique that can maintain a woman's youth, and as a woman, she naturally wanted to learn it.

As for Baixiaosheng himself, he was somewhat hesitant. For other combinations, he could randomly choose one to practice, as the differences were not significant. However, practicing martial arts requires passion; if you lack passion, it will be twice the effort for half the result.

"Should I choose *Chunyang Zhi Gong* or *Chunyang Wujigong*?" Flipping through the two techniques in his hands, Baixiaosheng felt a headache.

*Chunyang Zhi Gong* is a highly yang and strong technique, similar to the *Jiuyang Shen Gong*, producing internal strength as fierce as fire; *Chunyang Wujigong* is also a yang technique, but it is warm, like a small fire, not giving a burning sensation but a warm feeling. Moreover, the internal strength cultivated by this technique is already pure.

"Both *Yijin Duugug Pian* and *Qiankun Dadianyi* refine internal strength, so I will choose *Chunyang Wujigong*!" Slapping the *Chunyang Wujigong* in his hand, Baixiaosheng threw the *Chunyang Zhi Gong* aside. He and Mu Wanqing each took the chosen techniques and began to study them carefully.

These techniques not only contained the methods but also the annotations left by the person, making it easier for the two to read and understand them.

After resting for a day, on the second day, the two began to practice the techniques in their hands. They each sat at one end of the cold jade bed, using its properties to practice the techniques. The internal strength in their bodies followed the *Chunyang Wujigong* route, and a warm feeling rose from their meridians, forming two extremes with the cold on the surface. Under the stimulation of the cold, the warm internal strength rapidly increased.

On the other side, Mu Wanqing was doing the same!
