Chapter 256: My Immortal Cultivation

During this period, Yan Xu has been living in the Fuwei Escort Agency and has not mentioned the matter of becoming a disciple, as if the rumors from the outside world have nothing to do with him. However, Lin Zhennan comes here every day.

The more he came into contact with the other party, the more Lin Zhennan felt that he had made the right move.

The other party called himself Taoist Yuanhua. Although he was not well-known, through conversation, Lin Zhennan discovered that he was not only eloquent, but also knowledgeable about astronomy and geography. What surprised him even more was that he also understood business laws and the deployment of troops. This made him think of several ancient people, such as Guiguzi and Huangshi Old Man.

No matter how smart Lin Zhennan was, he was still a native of the Ming Dynasty. In an era when the emperor believed in Buddhism and was obsessed with immortality, how could he be an exception?

Just like looking for a cram school for his child and accidentally finding a professor from Peking University or Tsinghua University, Lin Zhennan, who was afraid of missing out on the opportunity, not only called his son over immediately, but also asked him to serve him day and night as a teacher. He was also willing to spend money on daily expenses, for fear of missing out on the opportunity.

Fortunately, Yan Xu is not a liar, otherwise, given Lin Zhennan's fanatical enthusiasm, it would be considered merciful not to take away half of his property.

Although Yan Xu is happy to see this happen, there are still some tests to be done, because things that are too easy to get will never be cherished. For example, the one you can't chase is a goddess, and the one at home is a shrew.

After a simple test, Yan Xu found that Lin Zhennan really cared about Lin Pingzhi. Not only did he teach him the three correct values, but he also found someone to teach him to read and write since he was a child. His knowledge was not very high, but it was enough. After all, Yan Xu himself was not very proficient in ancient Chinese.

As for martial arts, the basics are okay, nothing else.

This is what Yan Xu saw and said, but this made Lin Pingzhi dissatisfied.

Lin Pingzhi, who had never been beaten by society, grew up hearing stories about his ancestors. Therefore, he stubbornly believed that the family-inherited sword technique of exorcising evil spirits was the best sword technique in the world. Although he could not reach the level of his ancestors, he was not comparable to ordinary people.

Simply put, he has not been beaten by society yet, which made Lin Zhennan on the side smile bitterly, because he thought so too back then.

"In that case, come and attack me with your sword. Let me see your true abilities." Yan Xu didn't dislike naive and stubborn people, so he didn't mind Lin Pingzhi's persistence. He just hoped that he wouldn't cry too hard later.

Lin Pingzhi took a deep breath. Although he was a little excited, his hand holding the sword was very steady.

He felt only unfamiliar with Taoist Yuanhua, after all, he had never seen or heard of him before. However, his father was very respectful to him and repeatedly warned him not to offend him.

Although Lin Pingzhi listened to his father very much, the passion of a young man is not so easily extinguished. He knew etiquette and would not give in easily, especially when the opponent's words directly negated all his efforts so he had to win this battle!
Seeing Lin Pingzhi's posture, Yan Xu shook his head. He didn't understand the martial arts of "Swordsman", but he understood internal martial arts.

Even though he only practiced Tai Chi, in fact Yang Zhenze had dabbled in all kinds of boxing, but he felt his energy was limited and didn't want to be distracted, so he specialized in one. However, this does not mean that his vision and knowledge are limited to Tai Chi.

In Yan Xu's opinion, Lin Pingzhi's posture was very solid, but the center of gravity was biased. If there was enough power, it would be like an arrow shot from a bow, delivering a swift blow that would catch people off guard. But if there was not enough power, then this way of exerting force would appear very awkward.

But this is a world of internal strength, not just the strength of muscles and bones, so this posture is even more awkward.

This is the Exorcist Sword Technique that lacks core strength, not even worth mentioning. The real core of the Exorcist Sword Technique is its speed that is so fast that it can be called weird. The so-called sword technique is just a skill to better utilize the speed, so focusing on the sword technique and ignoring the core is putting the cart before the horse.

It's almost like drifting. It looks cool when used in a sports car, but it becomes funny when used in a tractor, or a hand tractor.

So without actually fighting with others, just thinking about it, Lin Pingzhi feels that he is very powerful and handsome, and drifting and turning in the drainage ditch are all pieces of cake. But when he really starts fighting, he will find that he can beat anyone. No matter how good the drifting skills are, they are just a joke at a speed limit of 30 miles per hour.

Lin Zhennan on the side was also curious. He admired Taoist Yuanhua for his knowledge, but he didn't know whether he knew martial arts. However, looking at his calm look, it was obvious that he was full of confidence.

"Watch out for the sword!" Lin Pingzhi spoke first and then drew his sword. This alone made him better than 90% of the people in the martial arts world. However, this was also related to the fact that he had never been in the martial arts world before.

Facing Lin Pingzhi's confident sword, Yan Xu's response was simple: just reach out and grab it.

After practicing the Iron Shirt, Yan Xu gradually realized the properties of his tendons and bones. He had an inhuman physique, but in a very short period of time he developed a head of copper and arms of iron. Unless one had a rare sword or was filled with strong internal energy, no one could even cut him.

Although he expected to lose, Lin Pingzhi still couldn't accept the fact that he lost so easily, and his young heart was seriously hurt.

Lin Zhennan was also stunned. He thought a lot, but he never expected that Taoist Yuanhua's methods were so tough.

The hidden power was unleashed, and with a crisp bang, the fine sword made of fine iron in Lin Pingzhi's hand was broken into pieces by Yan Xu. His relaxed look made both the father and son of the Lin family have some kind of illusion, was the sword replaced by someone?
But Yan Xu's next action made the Lin father and son stunned. They saw more and more electric currents appearing in his palms, and with crackling sounds, the iron sword fragments turned dark red, as if they had been burned in a furnace.

Throwing the fragments on the ground, Yan Xu smiled and said.

"I am a cultivator, so if I say you can't do it, then you can't do it."

"That's right, my son is blind and dares to offend the master. I will teach him a lesson!" Lin Zhennan's face turned red. Not only did his beloved son become his son, he also kicked Lin Pingzhi, who was still in shock, to the ground. While kicking, he shouted that he would teach this traitor a lesson on behalf of the master. He was afraid that his plan to become his disciple would fail.

If Yan Xu had slapped Lin Pingzhi away with one palm, Lin Zhennan would at most be secretly happy that the Lin family had a backer. But since Yan Xu could release lightning with his palm that could melt gold and iron, and he also frankly said that he was cultivating immortals, a surge of blood suddenly rushed to his forehead. He suddenly saw a green smoke rising into the sky from his ancestral grave, and his ancestors and father were also in the underground, desperately telling him not to miss the opportunity to become an immortal.

So let alone a few kicks, they would even hang him up and beat him without hesitation. Only Lin Pingzhi was kicked by his own father, and he had a look of doubt on his face about his life.

"Just give you a little education, and then after you formally become my disciple, you can practice with me." Yan Xu's words were not meant to fool the other party, but he really intended to teach Lin Pingzhi to practice and see if the other party could learn it.

If he can, then he needs to change his layout in the Ming world.
