Chapter 30

"Uh, you little brat, you actually know the *Tai Xuan Jing*? That’s one of the supreme martial arts classics in the martial world, a legend. Unfortunately, for hundreds of years, no matter how wise and talented one is, no one has been able to comprehend the *Tai Xuan Jing* from the stone wall!"

Seemingly hearing Bu Fan’s murmurs, Uncle Bu Er sighed softly, then glanced at him and said with a relaxed tone, "However, the stone wall that records *The Heroic Journey* is open for all to view. If you are fortunate enough to gain some insights from it, it would be a great opportunity!"

Bu Fan suppressed his excitement and lowered his head, remaining silent.

The martial arts of the *Tai Xuan Jing* indeed encompass a vast array of techniques. According to Jin Da Da’s description, the protagonist Shi Potian in *The Heroic Journey* eventually learned a sword technique, a palm technique, a light body technique, and an internal cultivation method from the stone wall.

However, these techniques were not explained through text but were observed from the text transformed into images.

In the end, there were even strange and incomprehensible tadpole characters, leaving people puzzled!

*Slap!*

Just as Bu Fan was immersed in his thoughts about the *Tai Xuan Jing*, a palm slapped the back of his head, instantly waking him up.

"You little brat, what are you daydreaming about? I called you several times, and you didn’t hear me!" Uncle Bu Er scolded angrily.

"Uncle, I got distracted for a moment. What did you say just now? Go on!" Bu Fan, woken up by Uncle Bu Er’s slap, immediately grinned and said.

Fortunately, Uncle Bu Er wasn’t really angry. Seeing Bu Fan come to his senses, he said seriously, "Next, listen carefully. Take this!" He then handed Bu Fan an ancient-looking book.

Bu Fan took the book and looked at the cover. On the blue and white cover, three elegant and flowing characters were written. The characters were beautiful, but unfortunately, Bu Fan didn’t recognize them.

The reason was that these characters were not the simplified Chinese characters Bu Fan knew, but ancient traditional characters! If they were standard traditional characters, Bu Fan could recognize most of them by comparing them with simplified characters.

However, these characters were written in a flowing, exquisite style, making it impossible for Bu Fan to distinguish them.

Then, Bu Fan flipped through the cover and looked at the content inside. On the first page was a simple human anatomy diagram.

Inside the diagram was a rough human figure, with a simple route for internal cultivation within the body, which looked somewhat like the Small Circulation Qi Method.

"Kid, this is the *Yun Xing Jue*, an internal cultivation method that the guards of our manor can learn. Uncle will teach you this method. Practice it well when you return, understand?" Uncle Bu Er said seriously to Bu Fan.

"Yun Xing Jue? It doesn’t seem to be part of Bu Jingyun’s martial arts. Could he have created it later?" Hearing Uncle Bu Er’s words, Bu Fan couldn’t help but wonder in surprise.

"Uncle, is the *Yun Xing Jue* powerful?" Bu Fan thought for a moment and asked cautiously. He wanted to ask if he could learn the *Xu Yun Jin*, but he feared that if he said it, he would be taken to see the manor lord...

Seeing Bu Fan’s expectant look, Uncle Bu Er’s face showed a hint of embarrassment, then he sternly educated him, "Kid, don’t aim too high right from the start. Even if I gave you a profound martial art, could you cultivate it? The *Yun Xing Jue* may not be very advanced, but it is a foundational martial art that has been passed down in our Bu family manor for hundreds of years. You’ll understand its benefits once you practice it!"

Bu Fan was speechless. The four words "foundational martial art" clearly indicated that the *Yun Xing Jue* was a very basic technique.

"Phew!"

Exhaling, Bu Fan calmed his mind. Perhaps he was being too ambitious, wanting to learn supreme martial arts right from the start, but he forgot that the path of martial arts requires a solid foundation, step by step!

"Uncle, I understand. Please teach me!" Bu Fan said respectfully to Uncle Bu Er.

Uncle Bu Er nodded and began pointing to the meridians in the diagram, explaining them to Bu Fan.

After Uncle Bu Er finished explaining, Bu Fan started to practice the *Yun Xing Jue* under his guidance, guiding the internal energy through the meridians.

The route of the *Yun Xing Jue* was not very complex, but the meridians it traversed were much higher than those of the Small Circulation Qi Method.

The Small Circulation Qi Method only circulates internally in the body, while the *Yun Xing Jue* extends to various parts of the body, which is what is known as the Great Circulation.

After completing one Great Circulation of the *Yun Xing Jue*, Bu Fan slowly opened his eyes, feeling refreshed and invigorated!

"How about it, did you remember the route?" Uncle Bu Er asked calmly as Bu Fan opened his eyes.

"Yes, I remember it!" Bu Fan replied happily.

"Then go back and practice well. Remember, you can practice the *Yun Xing Jue* multiple times a day, but don’t overdo it. The *Yun Xing Jue* itself has a nourishing effect on the meridians. Over time, your meridians will naturally expand and strengthen. However, if you force continuous practice, your meridians will be damaged. If they are damaged, it will be very difficult to recover. Understand?" Before leaving, Uncle Bu Er reminded him earnestly.

Bu Fan nodded and then walked back to his room.

After returning, Bu Fan sat cross-legged on the bed and continued to practice the *Yun Xing Jue*. Each time he practiced, he felt his internal energy growing stronger.

However, after twelve Great Circulations, Bu Fan felt a slight swelling in his body. He knew that this was the limit of his meridians, and if he continued to force it, he would damage his meridians.

After stopping, Bu Fan felt a bit bored in the room and wanted to leave the martial world, but it was daytime, and other things might happen.

After some thought, Bu Fan remembered something: the steps and knife techniques that Bu Yan had left him before leaving.

Bu Fan had tried these steps and knife techniques in reality, but combining them required excellent body coordination. His physical condition was changing daily, making it difficult to master them quickly.

Now, in the martial world, he might as well try them out!

Thinking this, Bu Fan found a wooden stick in the room to use as a short knife and began practicing the steps and knife techniques according to his memory.

In the martial world, Bu Fan’s physical condition was indeed better than in reality, and practicing the steps and knife techniques separately was easier.

However, when he tried to combine the steps and knife techniques, the difficulty increased. He found it hard to coordinate them, either missing the timing of the steps or the knife movements.

"Maybe I should find someone to help me!" Suddenly, Bu Fan, sitting on a stool, had a flash of inspiration.

However, he then remembered Bu Yan’s warning not to show these techniques to anyone.

"Uncle Bu Er shouldn’t count as a person! Besides, in the Bu family manor, these knife techniques and steps are probably not highly regarded!" Bu Fan thought, giving himself a reason.

Then, Bu Fan got up and ran out, eventually finding Uncle Bu Er at the training ground. He pulled him back to his room and demonstrated the knife techniques and steps.

"Where did you learn these steps and knife techniques?" Uncle Bu Er asked sternly, looking at Bu Fan.

"Uh, I thought of them myself. After practicing the *Yun Xing Jue*, I had nothing to do, so I tried to create some martial arts and came up with these!" Bu Fan answered honestly, on purpose.

Uncle Bu Er looked at him suspiciously, considering whether to believe him. Stealing martial arts was a serious taboo in the martial world.

However, according to his knowledge, Bu Fan hadn’t left the Bu family manor much, and the manor wasn’t known for its knife techniques.

Moreover, these knife techniques and steps were aggressive but basic. The knife techniques only had two or three moves, not even a complete technique, and lacked any qi guidance. If Bu Fan had come up with them, it wasn’t impossible.

Seeing Uncle Bu Er’s uncertain expression, Bu Fan inwardly sighed. He had come with enthusiasm but forgot that people in ancient times were very particular about lineage, and this rigid attitude was likely set in the martial world.

"Alright, I just want to tell you not to steal martial arts. If you do, you might be stripped of your martial arts and expelled, or even worse, die. However, your steps and techniques are quite basic. I’ll think about it for a day and teach you tomorrow."

Seeing Uncle Bu Er finally nod in agreement, Bu Fan breathed a sigh of relief. It was fortunate that Bu Yan had left only three moves and half the steps. If it were the complete set, it wouldn’t have been so easy to pass.

In the past two days, many friends have given generous rewards, especially Brother Zhuo Jiu Xixiang, who has already rewarded nearly ten thousand Qidian coins. I am deeply grateful!

Many friends have also left valuable suggestions in the book review section, which I have carefully read. I have taken some of the suggestions to heart. Everyone has a martial arts dream, and I hope to create a perfect martial world for everyone. I hope for your continued support!
