Chapter 173: The Grand Scene of the Martial Arts Hall, Healing the Incomplete
"Brother Qiao, is there anything wrong?"
Li Ming sat up straight and looked at Qiao Feng and asked.
Seeing Qiao Feng's hesitant expression, he was sure that the other party wanted to talk to him about something.
"Could it be that he finally couldn't help it and wanted to ask the leader about his true identity?"
Li Ming was guessing in his heart.
What they had agreed before was that Qiao Feng would lend him the Sanskrit version of the Yi Jin Jing, and then Li Ming would reveal the information of the leader to him.
Qiao Feng was deeply impressed by the fact that Li Ming inexplicably knew so many secrets, so he believed that Li Ming would definitely be able to provide him with some valuable information.
But since Li Ming returned the Sanskrit version of Yi Jin Jing to him last time, Qiao Feng had not asked about it, and Li Ming had not said anything either.
During this period, Qiao Feng lived with Azhu in Qixia Town. They finally got rid of their wandering life temporarily and experienced a peaceful life.
Usually, besides observing the disciples practicing martial arts, Qiao Feng would take Ah Zhu, in disguise, to stroll around the Qixia Town and fully experience the prosperity of the town.
Even Qiao Feng changed his usual straight-man demeanor and bought some rouge and powder for Ah Zhu for the first time these days, which made Ah Zhu extremely happy.
Could it be that Qiao Feng couldn't help but ask...
Li Ming was thinking as Qiao Feng walked up to him.
"Brother, there is something I want to discuss with you."
"Brother Qiao, please feel free to speak."
"That's it..."
Li Ming asked Qiao Feng to sit next to him and organized his words.
"Last time at the Martial Arts Hall, I listened to your speech and was deeply impressed. These days, I have also been observing you for a long time at your martial arts hall and know that what you said was not just empty talk, but that you really do things."
When Qiao Feng said this, what he had observed in the martial arts hall these days emerged in his mind.
The Martial Arts Hall gathers together every day to study martial arts in depth, and it is indeed proceeding in the direction that Li Ming mentioned. As a martial arts master, Qiao Feng can naturally see that the results produced by this Martial Arts Hall in the future will be of great benefit to the development of martial arts and martial artists in the world.
Qianming Martial Arts School is also screening disciples with outstanding martial arts talents every day and training them for free. There is no exaggeration at all.
Since returning from Juxianzhuang, Li Ming's reputation has soared again, and more people have come to visit him. In recent days, he has accepted dozens of disciples who meet the requirements. Most of them are children from ordinary or even poor backgrounds who come here to try their luck.
This group of disciples who were able to pass the selection of the martial arts school and enter it, with the resources of Qianming Martial Arts School, and were trained in different directions according to their individual qualifications and attributes, quickly showed an astonishing speed of progress.
Among the core disciples that Li Ming accepted in the early stage, two more of them successfully broke through to the innate realm in the past few days, further enhancing the strength of the martial arts school.
Everything was developing according to Li Ming's plan, and Qiao Feng saw it all.
Not to mention, Qiao Feng was even more shocked when he saw that Qianming Martial Arts School actually took in a group of children with physical disabilities for free.
I believe that this virtuous brother of mine is of high moral character and is hard to find in the world!
Perhaps it was the influence of the thriving atmosphere in the martial arts school, or perhaps it was because he saw Ah Zhu living a happy life here every day.
Qiao Feng also temporarily put aside the grudges in the martial arts world and his own identity as a Khitan.
However, Qiao Feng knew that he was destined not to stay here for long because of his blood feud. If he did not avenge his parents, he would not be worthy of being a man. But if he left and was once again involved in the grudges in the martial arts world, Qiao Feng was not sure whether it would be good or bad.
He was inspired by Li Ming's martial arts school and suddenly wanted to get involved and make some contribution to it before leaving.
Qiao Feng told Li Ming what he was thinking.
Li Ming was surprised when he heard this: "Brother Qiao, if you want to do anything, I will definitely cooperate."
"This is what I wrote down for you. It contains the secrets of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and the Dragon Capturing Technique, as well as some of your insights and experiences from years of practice. My dear brother, doesn't your martial arts school accept martial arts from all over the world? This can be considered as a small contribution I have made to you."
"Ok?"
Li Ming didn't expect Qiao Feng to be so generous and was full of surprise.
"Isn't this... the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms the Beggars' Sect's unique martial art? Brother Qiao, aren't you afraid of it being leaked?"
"I believe in your character. You don't need to teach this skill to other disciples, but you can practice it and extract its essence and merits to improve your martial arts system. I left the Beggars' Sect and I am worried that the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms will be lost in the future. If that day comes, I can return this skill to the Beggars' Sect."
Qiao Feng explained.
Li Ming thought for a moment, looked at Qiao Feng again, and took it without refusing.
However, Qiao Feng did not know that Li Ming already had the Dragon Capturing Technique and the Dog Beating Stick Technique, which were also the Beggar Gang's unique skills. He was missing the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and had only practiced the Three Coiled Dragon Strikes that were refined from the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.
Seeing Li Ming accept it, Qiao Feng continued.
"Also, if you don't mind, I can temporarily join your martial arts hall and contribute to your plan. I think I have some experience in martial arts."
"really!"
Li Ming's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Recently, Yanwu Hall has used part of the content of the Nine Yin Scriptures as a base, combined with the experience of various martial arts taught in the martial arts school, to research and compile a set of plans suitable for training talented disciples of various levels. This is equivalent to the introductory basic teaching materials for the martial arts school to train disciples in the future.
But even with the participation of masters like Zhou Botong and Xuan Cheng, it is not easy to complete this task.
Zhou Botong's thinking is erratic, while Xuan Cheng is not flexible enough and is too rigid, so the progress often stagnates.
If another master like Qiao Feng could join us, it would surely be of great help!
"If Brother Qiao is willing, I would like to welcome you!" Li Ming said in surprise.
"I will arrange it right away, and Brother Qiao can join us tomorrow. If Brother Qiao helps, I believe our martial arts school's goal will be a big step closer to realization!"
The two parties hit it off immediately and Li Ming made arrangements immediately.
After reaching an agreement with Li Ming, Qiao Feng seemed to have put some of his worries to rest. He stood up, but there was still a hint of worry in his eyes.
Li Ming also saw that Qiao Feng wanted to temporarily put down the burden on his shoulders and do something, but after finishing all these, he would still have to return to the turmoil of the martial arts world...
On the second day, Qiao Feng participated in the operation of the Yanwu Hall as promised.
Afterwards, both Qianming Martial Arts School and Qixia Town entered a relatively peaceful phase. There were no more troubles for the time being, and Qixia Town became more prosperous.
The weather turned from hot to cool, and it gradually became a bit chilly.
In just a few days, Jiang Yuyan had come out of seclusion again. When she appeared in front of her fellow disciples again, her temperament and the impression she gave people had changed again.
The oppressive aura became stronger, his eyes flashed, and his expression became colder.
The improvement in strength brings the most obvious changes to people. Compared with the somewhat awkward girl when she first entered the martial arts gym, the current Jiang Yuyan is like a completely transformed person.
Even many fellow disciples felt pressured unconsciously in front of Jiang Yuyan and subconsciously wanted to stay away from her.
Jiang Yuyan only shows her gentle side when facing the other three disciples and her master Li Ming.
At this time, Jiang Yuyan had completely consolidated the absorbed true energy for cultivation, and with the help of the cold jade bed and elixirs, her cultivation had reached the peak of the innate realm. There was no room for improvement, and the next step was to try to break through.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yuyan, who was the last to join Li Ming's fold, was the first of the four disciples to reach perfect the innate realm.
This made Mo Xiaobei, Lin Pingzhi and Yang Guo all envious and jealous.
After checking Jiang Yuyan's cultivation status, Li Ming gave her a small forbidden-breaking pill and asked her to try to break through the bottleneck.
Mo Xiaobei and Yang Guo looked on with envy, while Lin Pingzhi had a stern face, turned around and left silently, and continued to practice hard.
A few days later, Jiang Yuyan appeared in front of everyone again, but her mental state seemed a little depressed.
She was full of hope in reaching the Grandmaster level, and even took help from elixirs, but the result was not as expected, and she failed very embarrassingly.
This was a big blow to Jiang Yuyan, who had been doing too well, and she finally realized that the path of martial arts was not as simple as simply absorbing other people's internal energy.
If we only talk about the accumulation of quantity, Jiang Yuyan would have exceeded the scope of the Innate Realm long ago, but her accumulation was insufficient, her progress was too tricky, and her understanding of the realm of martial arts was not deep enough, so she was unable to break through the window paper leading to the Grandmaster Realm.
Seeing this scene, Li Ming did not feel depressed, but comforted Jiang Yuyan.
From then on, Jiang Yuyan could be seen practicing diligently in the martial arts gym every day. She selected several basic martial arts and began to continuously strengthen her foundation and deepen her understanding of martial arts.
During this process, several months passed and the construction of the part outside the town of Qianming Martial Arts School had been basically completed. Magnificent courtyards were lined up one after another, and standing at the entrance of the town, one could see as far as the eye could see.
With the expansion of the martial arts school, many parts have been put into use, and the number of disciples in the martial arts school has expanded again.
After several rounds of selection, the core disciples in the main hall have now reached more than 300 people, mainly those who have passed the martial arts talent screening and have been trained free of charge by the martial arts hall.
Most of them came from ordinary families and lower classes, but they were talented and practiced harder. Therefore, with the help of the resources of the martial arts school, they achieved results far beyond ordinary people.
And they are also the most loyal to Li Ming.
The number of disciples in the martial arts school's branch courtyards has reached a terrifying scale of about a thousand people!
At this time, Qianming Martial Arts School had long since departed from the conventional scope and instead became more like a large-scale academy focusing on martial arts.
The strength of the vast majority of people is still low and they have not yet reached the acquired realm, but given time, if their overall level can be improved, they will become a terrifying force.
With more disciples, each branch of the martial arts hall has more tasks to do. Whether it is the weapons hall, the medicine hall or the foreign affairs hall, there is a lot of work every day and they work almost non-stop.
But their level also grew rapidly in the process of practice.
In addition, more disciples have developed talents in different fields and have taken the initiative to join these affairs halls, thus expanding their scale.
As the number of students in the martial arts school increased and its size expanded, teaching the disciples became a problem.
Now every disciple expects Li Ming to teach them martial arts personally, which is not very realistic and he does not have that much time.
Therefore, the martial arts school soon established a new martial arts hall, which was composed of some outstanding core disciples who had broken through to the innate realm, to teach martial arts to many other disciples on behalf of Li Ming.
Many of them are also members of the Yanwu Hall. During this process, they used the latest research results of the Yanwu Hall in the process of training disciples and continuously improved them in practice.
In this way, Li Ming has more free time, and he doesn't need to work too hard, and everything in the martial arts hall can run in an orderly manner.
Nowadays, in addition to daily inspections to supervise and check on his disciples' progress in martial arts, Li Ming also takes time to visit the children with physical disabilities who have been taken in.
After living in the martial arts hall for so long, although they are still not in perfect condition, their condition is much better.
There was no trace of inferiority in his eyes, his mental state was excellent, and his clothes were neat and tidy.
As soon as Li Ming entered the room, he saw Zi Yu sitting beside the bed, giving acupuncture to an outer disciple who was lying on the bed.
During the time in the martial arts school, Ziyu has grown a lot. Her face is still childish, but she has become more than a head taller.
She sat there upright, with a slender neck and straight back, measured movements, delicate features, and concentrated on giving acupuncture. When people saw her, they would often unconsciously overlook her defect of not being able to stand.
Even the doctor invited from Xuejiazhuang was full of praise for Ziyu's current medical skills, and repeatedly praised Ziyu as a rare genius.
This outer disciple had caught a cold, but with Zi Yu's simple acupuncture, his condition quickly improved and he felt much better.
However, he looked at Zi Yu a little nervously and didn't dare to look directly at her.
Li Ming found it funny, he had also heard that although Zi Yu had a disability, the little girl was now the secret crush of many disciples. Some disciples even deliberately got headaches and fevers and came to her for acupuncture and medicine just to see her a few more times.
Soon, Zi Yu took the silver needle, wrote a prescription for him, and asked him to go to the pharmacy to get the medicine. The outer disciple left with many thanks.
"Master!"
After Zi Yu finished her work, she looked at Li Ming and smiled, revealing two shallow dimples.
"good."
Li Ming praised Zi Yudao.
Most of the disabled children that were taken in before were like Zi Yu. They found a skill and worked hard to help the martial arts school. They did not eat and drink for free. Zi Yu was the best one among them.
Zi Yu took the crutches beside her and stood up with them. Although it was still difficult, it was much better than before.
This is also what Zi Yu insisted on. Someone in the martial arts gym once made a wheelchair for her, but Zi Yu still insisted on using crutches, claiming that this could prevent her from falling into burnout and make her feel more valuable.
But Zi Yu soon leaned against the bed.
Li Ming walked over and connected with Zi Yu's meridians with a trace of true energy.
"Master, my legs seem to have regained some strength recently. Can I really recover if I do this every day? But... I have never seen such a case in medical books."
Zi Yu asked Li Ming with eyes full of anticipation and some nervousness.
Because during this period of time, Li Ming has been trying to heal her crippled legs, which gave Zi Yu renewed hope.
