Chapter 175 Master Zhang is truly a god!
It would be more accurate to say that Xin Zhen’s previous success in the world of Jianghu was due to the Dugu Nine Swords rather than the Zixia Magic.
Even without the Zixia magic power, with the internal strength accumulated by his Hunyuan Gong and his attainments in swordsmanship, he could still become the best in the world.
As for whether or not to go looking for the Nine Yang Divine Art to practice, Xin Zhen thought about it and was unwilling to do so. Firstly, practicing the Nine Yang Divine Art to the highest level requires accidental opportunities, and accidents are likely to occur.
Secondly, the Pure Yang Wuji Gong is a magical skill created by Zhang Sanfeng by integrating the essence of Buddhism and Taoism. The Nine Yang Divine Art emphasizes the mutual assistance of yin and yang, but it still tends to be masculine. However, Zhang Sanfeng has truly reached the level of mutual assistance of yin and yang.
It can be seen that although the Pure Yang Wuji Gong is not as violent as the Nine Yang Divine Art, in terms of purity, the Pure Yang Wuji Gong is still the best.
Xin Zhen calmed down and said, "Is Master Zhang afraid that I will use the Pure Yang Wuji Gong to bring disaster to the world?"
Zhang Sanfeng nodded.
Xin Zhen said sincerely: "I will never do anything against morality. This technique, once it reaches the ears of me, will not be passed on to others.
They will not use it to commit crimes, and will not harm the people in the slightest, nor will they kill innocent people among their fellow martial artists.
If Wudang needs me in the future, I will do my best to help Wudang!
The sun and the moon can bear witness to my heart!"
After hearing what Xin Zhen said, Zhang Sanfeng put aside the last bit of hesitation in his heart and said happily, "If that's the case, then it couldn't be better. I will teach you the Pure Yang Wuji Gong now."
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Then let's get off the boat and talk."
Chang Yuchun said quickly: "Sister Zhiruo, I remembered something. Come with me and I want to tell you."
Zhang Sanfeng did not stop him. He was willing to teach Xin Zhen the Pure Yang Wuji Gong, not because he valued Xin Zhen.
But just because Xin Zhen not only saved the last child of the Laowu family, but also let Yu Daying do it, it doesn't mean that he is willing to let this supreme Wudang secret method spread out.
After Chang Yuchun and Zhou Zhiruo got off the boat, Zhang Sanfeng slowly recited the Pure Yang Wuji Gong. Xin Zhen listened attentively, and when he heard half of it, he was overjoyed. This Pure Yang Wuji Gong was indeed profound and mysterious, and much more powerful than the Zixia Divine Art!
Zhang Sanfeng quickly finished reciting the Pure Yang Wuji Gong, and then recited it again. When he was about to recite it for the third time, Xin Zhen stopped him and said, "Master, I have memorized it all. You don't need to recite it for the third time."
Zhang Wuji was surprised and said, "Brother Zhou, did you really remember it? When Master taught me, it took me many days to remember it!"
Zhang Sanfeng also looked at Xin Zhen with some surprise. The Chunyang Wuji Gong was profound and extensive, and the entire set of skills contained quite a few words. However, this young man from the Zhou family memorized all of it after reading it twice. His ability to remember everything after hearing it once was truly remarkable.
Xin Zhen smiled, then closed his eyes slightly. Zhang Sanfeng thought that Xin Zhen was tired after his injury, so he took Zhang Wuji to the stern of the boat. He also wanted to teach Zhang Wuji to practice the Zixia magic skill.
Zhang Sanfeng led Zhang Wuji to recite the martial arts and explained it word by word. Halfway through the explanation, Zhang Sanfeng's ears suddenly twitched slightly and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
He whispered to Zhang Wuji, "Wuji, you recite first. Master will be back soon."
Zhang Wuji nodded.
Zhang Sanfeng came to the bow quietly, looked at the lying Xin Zhen, and carefully observed Xin Zhen's breathing, and was immediately shocked.
However, Xin Zhen's breathing was long and the rhythm between his inhalation and exhalation was a clear sign that he had mastered the Pure Yang Wuji Gong and a trace of internal strength had been generated in his Dantian!
No wonder Zhang Sanfeng was surprised. Although the Pure Yang Wuji Gong was a Taoist skill that was integrated into his body, and therefore there were few obstacles or dangers in the practice process, it did not mean that it would be so easy to get started.
He taught seven disciples, but not a single one of them was able to generate true energy in the dantian in an instant. All of them took several months to get started. Even Zhang Cuishan, who had the best talent, took two months to get started.
What surprised him even more was that cultivating internal strength has its own posture, at least a sitting posture is necessary, so that one can quickly enter the state, but Xin Zhen just lay there and mastered the Pure Yang Wuji Gong!
This is ridiculous!
Zhang Sanfeng was thinking about a lot of things, but he saw Xin Zhen opened his eyes. Seeing Zhang Sanfeng looking at him, Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Has Master Zhang taught Brother Wuji?"
Zhang Sanfeng shook his head and said, "I heard something strange in your breathing... Hey!"
Zhang Sanfeng suddenly cried out in surprise and asked anxiously, "Your breathing... why is it still the breathing of the Pure Yang Wuji Gong? Are you still practicing now?"
Xin Zhen said with a look of surprise: "Master Zhang's Pure Yang Wuji Gong is truly miraculous. I only practiced it a little bit, and a breath of true energy appeared in my Dantian. And this breath of true energy actually circulated along the meridians on its own, without my driving it. Master Zhang is truly a god."
Zhang Sanfeng: "..."
How come I didn’t know that the Pure Yang Wuji Gong could be run on its own? I have been practicing the Pure Yang Wuji Gong for seventy or eighty years, how come I didn’t find out that there is such a way to practice it?
Zhang Sanfeng listened carefully to Xin Zhen's breathing for a long time, then he let out a long breath and said, "Young man Zhou is really gifted. The Pure Yang Wuji Gong does not have the ability to run on its own. It seems that it is because of your own talent. With this talent, your cultivation speed may be several times faster than others. Maybe in just a few years, there will be another young master in the world!"
Xin Zhen said sincerely, "I would also like to thank Master Zhang for teaching me the skills. I will never be a bad person and will never harm the lives of innocent people. If anything happens to Wudang, Master Zhang can send me a message and I will repay you with my life."
Zhang Sanfeng smiled and nodded, "Okay, I hope you remember that if one day I hear about your evil deeds, I will come personally to take away the Pure Yang Wuji Gong."
Xin Zhen nodded and said, "If that day comes, the real person will come and take it away."
Zhang Sanfeng nodded and said, "You continue to practice. I will teach my child Wuji how to practice the Purple Cloud Skill. His talent is far inferior to yours, so I will need your careful guidance.
Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Please do as you please, Master."
Zhang Sanfeng went to the stern of the ship.
Xin Zhen concentrated on practicing the Pure Yang Wuji Gong, and his internal energy immediately began to circulate rapidly. Every time he circulated it, a considerable amount of internal energy was generated.
Xin Zhen focused it on the arrow wound, and the severe pain quickly disappeared. After a while, he felt an itchy sensation, and it even felt like a scab was about to form. Of course, this was just an illusion, but the improvement in the injury was real.
Xin Zhen was immediately overjoyed. This Pure Yang Wuji Gong was indeed the supreme energy for healing injuries. With this Pure Yang Wuji Gong, his arrow wound should be healed in a few days.
Because Zhang Wuji and Xin Zhen both wanted to cultivate their inner strength, Chang Yuchun sent the river boat directly to Hankou. After arriving in Hankou, they changed to another boat on the Yangtze River and sailed eastward along the river.
