Chapter 84

After dinner, Wang Yue let his younger sister go to sleep and then began to practice his martial arts by standing in a桩 (桩 is a specific stance in martial arts training, often translated as "post stance" or "standing meditation").

Wang Yue is currently injured and it will take at least half a month for him to recover.

Wang Yue has the experience of cultivating an internal family boxing technique, so he won’t take any detours this time.

Last time, Wang Yue specialized in internal family boxing and only started practicing the Lesser Wu Xiang Technique when he reached the丹劲 (丹劲 is a specific level in martial arts, often translated as "Pill Strength" or "Elixir Strength") stage, and he never reached the ultimate level of internal family boxing. This time, Wang Yue decided to focus on cultivating true qi, with internal family boxing as a secondary practice.

When his internal family boxing reached the暗劲 (暗劲 is a specific level in martial arts, often translated as "Hidden Strength") stage and his meridians were fully unblocked, Wang Yue began to specialize in the Lesser Wu Xiang Technique.

After standing in the post stance for just half an hour, Wang Yue could feel the flow of qi and blood in his body.

Such a cultivation speed could make all internal family boxing practitioners blush, but Wang Yue still felt it was too slow.

"That’s not right. If I were in the Tianlong world, with my cultivation experience, I could already mobilize my qi and blood, but now I can only feel the flow of qi and blood." Wang Yue frowned, thinking to himself, "Could it be that cultivation in this world is more difficult than in the Tianlong world?"

Wang Yue thought for a while but found no answer, so he decided to stop thinking and focus on his cultivation.

Wang Yue closed his eyes and concentrated on standing in the post stance. When he opened his eyes, it was already dawn.

After a night of cultivation, Wang Yue made great progress. He sweated a lot, and the sweat was blackish-brown, expelling many impurities from his body. Wang Yue’s complexion now looked very rosy, and his complexion was much better, no longer pale like it was yesterday.

"I thought that after a night of cultivation, I could become a Ming Strength practitioner, but at the current cultivation speed, it will probably take about ten days to enter the Ming Strength stage." Wang Yue thought to himself.

In other words, compared to the Tianlong world, the cultivation speed here is ten times slower.

"Even if it’s a bit slower, it doesn’t matter. As long as you work hard, you can turn an iron rod into a needle." Wang Yue boiled water for a hot bath, then started to cook porridge for breakfast.

"Little sister, wake up and have breakfast."

Wang Yue helped his younger sister, Wang Qian, get dressed, washed her face, and then they started to eat.

"Little sister, when we go to the clinic later, you can play by yourself, okay? I need to treat patients." Wang Yue said to Wang Qian.

Wang Qian blinked her big eyes, looked at Wang Yue, and nodded, saying, "Okay."

When they arrived at the clinic, Wang Yue started to treat patients.

Wang Yue’s medical skills were excellent, and he treated patients quickly, and every time he could cure them with medicine.

In just a few days, Wang Yue’s reputation was established, and he became even more popular than Hu Yu.

It should be noted that Hu Yu had been practicing medicine in the market for thirty years and could be considered a senior doctor. But now he was being outshone by this young man, which made Hu Yu a bit jealous.

With Wang Yue at the clinic, business improved a lot, and the income from treating patients increased by more than a hundred silver taels every day. Of course, Hu Yu was not a stingy person, and to keep Wang Yue, he gave him fifteen silver taels in medical fees every day.

...

Eight days later, Wang Yue’s internal family boxing cultivation finally reached the Ming Strength stage.

In the Tianlong world, a Ming Strength practitioner is only considered second or third-rate, but in the Xiaoyao world, he could be considered a minor expert. With Wang Yue’s current martial arts realm, even if his martial arts were only at the Ming Strength stage, there would be no more than twenty people in the Sun Moon Cult who could defeat him.

That day, Wang Yue carried the dinner he bought from the market in one hand and his younger sister, Wang Qian, in the other. When he got home, he found several more people in the house.

They were all members of the Sun Moon Cult, and like Wang Yue, they belonged to Qu Yang’s command. However, their positions were higher than Wang Yue’s.

"What brings you here?" Wang Yue asked.

Wang Yue did not like the people of the Sun Moon Cult and did not want to have anything to do with them.

Zhao Zhong had only been gone for a few days, and they were already back. Could they not let him live a peaceful life? Wang Yue was a bit unhappy.

"Wang Yue, where have you been these past few days? Why didn’t you go to Blackwood Cliff?" A middle-aged man with a long knife asked loudly, "If we hadn’t interrogated Zhao Zhong today, we would have thought you had disappeared. Hurry up and pack your things and go to Blackwood Cliff with us. You are a disciple of the Sun Moon Cult, and you must not defy the rules."

"Brother." Wang Qian, the little sister, looked at these people, a bit scared, and hugged Wang Yue’s neck, hiding her head in his chest, and said timidly, "Brother."

Wang Yue frowned and said coldly, "Speak softly, don’t scare my sister. You leave now. I don’t want to go back to the Sun Moon Cult. I’m living well now, and I hope you won’t come to disturb us again."

"What? Wang Yue, you want to leave the Sun Moon Cult? That’s asking for death. You are trying to defect from the Sun Moon Cult! The Law Enforcement Hall and the Sect Leader will not let you go, and neither will we."

"Yes, Wang Yue, you’d better go back to Blackwood Cliff with us, or you will have no place to bury your body."

The several people were shocked when they heard that Wang Yue wanted to leave the Sun Moon Cult.

Once you join the Sun Moon Cult, you can never leave, which is a rule of the Sun Moon Cult.

"Let the Law Enforcement Hall Leader and the Eastern Sect Leader come to me themselves if they disagree. You are not qualified to talk to me. Now, get out."

Wang Yue said coldly.

He and his sister were living well, and he did not want to get involved in the affairs of the Sun Moon Cult, but these people were disturbing him. Wang Yue was very angry.

"Rude! Wang Yue, it seems that in just a few days, your temper has grown. If you don’t go back, we will take you back and hand you over to the Law Enforcement Hall and Qu Right Envoy for punishment."

"Clang!"

Several cult disciples drew their long swords and knives and lunged at Wang Yue.

A cold light flashed in Wang Yue’s eyes: "You dare to draw your weapons in front of me? If I don’t cripple you today, do you really think I’m easy to bully?"

Wang Yue grabbed one person’s sword hilt and used a clever technique to snatch the long sword.

The martial arts technique Wang Yue used was the Heavenly Mountain Plum Hand.

"Thud..."

Wang Yue swung the long sword and severed the tendons in several people’s hands, crippling their martial arts.

"You like to draw your weapons so much, so I will cripple you so that you can’t use weapons to harm others in the future. Now, get out, or I will change my mind, and you will all die here."

Wang Yue’s voice carried a murderous intent, making the several cult disciples shudder.

"Wang Yue, I didn’t expect your martial arts to be so powerful. However, if you want to defect from the Sun Moon Cult, the Sect Leader will not let you go. We are leaving..."

After the several people left the village, Wang Yue threw away the long sword and took Wang Qian back into the house.

Wang Qian’s face still showed fear.

"Brother, will those bad people come back?" Wang Qian pulled on Wang Yue’s sleeve and asked.

Wang Yue smiled and said, "Don’t be afraid, little sister. Even if they come back, as long as I’m here, they won’t be able to harm you."

Wang Qian nodded and smiled, saying, "Okay. Brother is the best."

Seeing how cute his little sister was, Wang Yue became even more determined to protect her, and he would not let anyone harm her.

...

Blackwood Cliff, Chengde Hall.

This is where the Sect Leader lives. Since Dongfang Bubai tricked Ren Woxing and imprisoned him at the bottom of the West Lake, he has taken control of all the affairs of the Sun Moon Cult and moved into this place.

Dongfang Bubai, dressed in a red robe, looked very heroic.

"How is Yingying recently?" After finishing his business, Dongfang Bubai asked his subordinate.

"Miss Ren is doing well, neither crying nor making a fuss," the subordinate answered cautiously.

"Hmm." Dongfang Bubai nodded and said, "Order it to be announced that from today on, Ren Yingying will be enshrined as the Holy Maiden of the Sun Moon Cult, and seeing her is like seeing the Sect Leader. Do not be disrespectful to her."

"Yes, Sect Leader."

Suddenly, Dongfang Bubai thought of something and smiled, saying, "I heard that one of our disciples wants to leave the Sun Moon Cult?"

The subordinate answered respectfully, "Yes, Sect Leader. This matter has caused a stir in Blackwood Cliff. The boy is named Wang Yue, and he used to be part of Ren Woxing’s faction, under Qu Yang’s command. However, he is just a minor figure, not to be feared. What’s strange is that since he left the Blackwood Cliff dungeon, his martial arts have greatly improved. He severed the tendons in several cult disciples’ hands with one sword, crippling their martial arts. Sect Leader, should we...?"

The man made a gesture of cutting his throat, meaning to kill him and silence him.

Dongfang Bubai shook his head and said, "Not yet. I am also very curious about this Wang Yue. The rule of the Sun Moon Cult is that once you join, you can never leave. Since he wants to leave, I want to see what skills he has to defy the rules of our cult."

...

In the clinic, Wang Yue was diagnosing patients. At this moment, a woman in a red robe walked in.

"Doctor, I heard that your medical skills are excellent. Can you treat any illness?" the woman in red asked Wang Yue.

Wang Yue was focused on treating patients and did not even look up, saying directly, "There are many people waiting to be treated. If you want to be treated, please wait in line."

The woman in red was taken aback and thought to herself, "I am Dongfang Bubai, the Sect Leader of the Sun Moon Cult, and I am being ignored by a young man? Humph, today I will see what skills you have."

Finally, it was Dongfang Bubai’s turn.

Wang Yue then noticed the woman in red, who was very handsome and beautiful, and exuded a faint aura of dominance.

"This woman has very high internal skills!" Wang Yue was surprised.

Dongfang Bubai’s current martial arts cultivation was already at the half-step Master level. This was because her *Manual of the Sunflower* was not yet complete. Once the *Manual of the Sunflower* was complete, she would certainly become a Master-level martial artist.

"Sit."

Wang Yue pointed to the stool in front of him and asked, "What’s wrong with you, miss?"

Miss? This was the first time Dongfang Bubai had heard someone call her that.

Dongfang Bubai smiled and said, "I do have some discomfort. Every day at the hour of Hai and Zi, my body heats up, and my true qi becomes uncontrollable. I don’t know what to do."

After diagnosing Dongfang Bubai, Wang Yue frowned slightly and thought to himself, "This woman is practicing an extremely yang and yang martial art, and it is incomplete. She is lucky not to have suffered from excessive desire and gone into a state of madness."

Wang Yue had never seen the *Manual of the Sunflower*, so he did not know that the woman in red was Dongfang Bubai.

"What’s wrong? Did you find anything?" Dongfang Bubai asked, "Didn’t you say you could treat any illness?"

What Dongfang Bubai had just said was the aftereffect of practicing the *Manual of the Sunflower*.

The true qi of the *Manual of the Sunflower* is extremely dominant, and practitioners will suffer from excessive desire and go into a state of madness. This is why it is said, "To practice this skill, one must first castrate oneself." However, this martial art is indeed a great skill and very powerful.

Wang Yue nodded and said, "Your illness can be treated, but it’s a bit troublesome. You are practicing an extremely yang martial art, and it is incomplete. The first method is to give up practicing and disperse your true qi. This will naturally cure your illness."

Dongfang Bubai laughed inwardly. She had obtained the *Manual of the Sunflower*, a great martial art, with great difficulty. How could she give it up?

"What about the second method?" Dongfang Bubai asked.
