Who said I practiced the exercises incorrectly?

Chapter 43: Earthly Sawtooth Worm!
The dead leaves are flying and falling like rain.

A figure under the tree was moving like a dragon.

Dead leaves fell in front of him, but he dodged them calmly with the slightest effort.

Sometimes, he would strike with lightning speed and knock down several fixed positions on the tree.

Until this dead tree becomes bare.

Ning Yan suddenly stood quietly under the tree.

He looked at a leaf that fell on his right foot and his brows couldn't help but frown slightly.

Just now he had been constantly practicing "Yunyan Gong" and "Niu Mo Jing".

Although these two techniques are both specifically used for spiritual practice.

However, like "Iron Saint Kung Fu" and "Purple Cloud Kung Fu", each has its own unique properties.

When practicing "Yunyan Gong", one can make the body extremely agile, like floating clouds and smoke, making it hard to predict.

After using the "Bull Demon Sutra", one will be endowed with great strength like the Bull Demon. If he had not held that strength back, the dead tree in front of him would have exploded into powder when the first palm fell.

Ning Yan switched back and forth between techniques not because he was bored, but because he wanted to test the connection between the techniques.

It turns out that this verification is indeed necessary.

Because he really had a problem with the test.

There will be a slight delay when the skills are switched.

It was this slight delay that made his dodge imperfect, causing the fallen leaves to fall onto his feet.

In the middle of a battle, this tiny delay could easily become a fatal crisis involving life and death.

Unless he does not change his technique and only uses one from beginning to end.

As a result, it would be difficult for him to bring out the unique properties of other skills.

"Either we improve these four techniques and infinitely reduce the gaps between them."

"Either we combine these four techniques into one, so that one technique has the characteristics of all four techniques."

Both of these deductions are a waste of time.

So Ning Yan chose the second option.

There is no other reason, treating the root cause is more important.

It is impossible for him to practice the four techniques all the time.

"So, I want to take the solid defense of the Iron Saint Art, the softness and toughness of the Purple Cloud Art, the unparalleled strength of the Bull Demon Sutra, and the swaying agility of the Cloud and Smoke Art, and integrate them into one!"

Countless inspirations suddenly emerged in Ning Yan's mind, and each inspiration represented a brand new path of deduction.

He did not waste any time, but sat cross-legged on the ground, clasped his hands together, mobilized his vital energy, and used the "Calming Spirit Technique" on the spot.

Like the "Art of Calming the Mind" and the "Art of Smelling Fragrance", they are all miscellaneous techniques that he realized by himself after observing all the dharmas in the Pavilion of All Dharmas.

Its effect is to calm the mind and concentrate attention.

Putting it here is to eliminate distracting thoughts and make the deduction of the exercises more efficient and clearer.

With the help of the "Ning Shen Jue", the many inspirations in Ning Yan's mind were shattered one by one.

After an unknown amount of time, only two extremely obvious beams of light remained in his mind.

The end point of these two beams of light is surprisingly the same ball of light.

This ball of light is the prototype of a new technique.

But there is still something missing from hatching.

Ning Yan slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath.

He naturally knew what was missing.

It is coordination, the coordination to smooth out the last bit of internal conflict among the four techniques.

This coordination can be achieved in two ways.

The first is a method, which can be a set of exercises or miscellaneous techniques. The key point is the coordination power contained therein.

The second is external medicine, which is extended from the characteristics that the four exercises require external medicine.

Ning Yan carefully recalled the many secret books he had seen in the black market, but unfortunately, none of them could be used.

As for external medicine, he immediately thought of three kinds, each with its own strengths.

Ning Yan was just thinking about which external medicine to use when suddenly a fierce and miserable howl came from nearby, as if someone discovered before dying that none of the three children were his.

The voice was too miserable and too familiar.

Ning Yan did not waste a moment of time and instantly performed the "Swift Wind Kick". His body moved as fast as a shadow and in the blink of an eye he crossed the fence beside him, passed through the back room, and came to the main hall.

Old Li was seen lying on the bed, clasping his hands against the bed board and crying loudly. His voice was so miserable and his expression was so sorrowful that anyone who heard it would cry and anyone who saw it would feel sad.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Seeing that Old Li was in good health and crying loudly, Ning Yan felt relieved.

Old Li turned his head and looked at him, his wrinkled face filled with unspeakable grievance.

He sobbed and said:

"It's gone... the technique is gone again... I hid it so well... who the hell is this, wuwuwuwu..."

After some careful questioning, Ning Yan learned that the book "Jin Yu Zhi" that was just given to him, which he had carefully copied and translated and hidden in the crack of the bed, was stolen again.

After Ning Yan heard this, he was completely numb. Why did he steal from you instead of anyone else?
I haven’t seen your shabby house inlaid with gold and jade.

For a moment, he always felt that he should stay away from Old Li.

This guy seems to have a big problem with his luck.

Old Li looked at him with red eyes:
"Xiao Ning, can you help me catch that thief?"

Ning Yan was speechless.

Where the hell am I going to catch it?

I'm a warrior, not a detective.

Who knows which crazy guy would steal even an old widower like you?

After thinking for a while, he said:
"I think you've been unlucky lately. How about going out to get rid of the bad luck? I have a task for you. Help me gather the woodcutters around and collect some green moths. I'll pay you 100 coins for each green moth. For now, collect 1,000. When you complete this task, I'll give you a secret book that's more powerful than the 'Jin Yu Zhi'. What do you think?"

"Really? You're not lying to me?"

Old Li wiped his face and looked at him suspiciously.

"Really, don't lie to you."

"Must be stronger?"

"It must be stronger!"

"Okay then, I'll go find someone right away!"

"Hey wait, it's almost dark, can't you go tomorrow?"

"New secrets have appeared, how can we stand still?!"

"Okay, okay, I'll go with you. You're so old, I really admire you!"

An old man and a young boy pushed open the door, facing the sunset in the sky, and walked away noisily.

……

Chen family.

In the spacious hall, the atmosphere was as heavy as ice.

Several core members of the Chen family were sitting in the hall.

A strong smell of medicine wafted from them, and occasionally there were a few suppressed coughs.

After a while, accompanied by heavy footsteps, Chen Hongyuan came out from behind the screen.

After seeing him, everyone stood up quickly, with anxious expressions on their faces:
"How about it?"

"Is Patriarch Chen Qian feeling better?"

"Is the secret medicine effective?"

……

Chen Hongyuan stretched out his hand and pressed it down. When the field became quiet, he slowly spoke:

"After these days of treatment, the old ancestor's condition has stabilized, but I'm afraid he won't be able to fully recover in a short period of time. The next period of time will be the most dangerous time for our Chen family. Please be vigilant and guard against external attacks."

"We will die for our family!"

Everyone responded with a roar.

Chen Hongyuan nodded and continued:

"We have collected almost all of the Zhou family's products during this period. Although it is not enough to make up for the family's losses, we have recovered some blood. The most important thing is... the Earth Element Sawtooth Worm!"

Hearing this, everyone's expressions became solemn.

The local sawtooth worm was the original source of the conflict between the Chen and Zhou families.

Three years ago, in order to fight for the beast field of the Earth Yuan Sawtooth Insect, more than a dozen family members of the two families died, including a pillar at the peak of Qi Gathering. It was from then on that the relationship between the Chen and Zhou families quickly became cold.

"You all know the importance and uniqueness of the Earthly Sawtooth Worms. Although the Zhou family has already withdrawn from Qingcang, the beast farm is most likely still in their hands. Now it is almost time for the Earthly Sawtooth Worms to mature. We must find a way to harvest this batch, and it would be best if we could take over the entire beast farm!"

"But the traps set by the Zhou family around the Beast Farm are not so easy to break through. Without the core members of the Zhou family who practiced the "Leaving Kite Beast Transformation Art" to lead the way, we can't get in at all."

An elder of the tribe added worriedly.

"Of course I know that."

Chen Hongyuan said in a deep voice:
“Although we were unable to obtain the Li Yuan Beast Transformation Art, we did find a lot of information related to traps when we raided the Zhou family.

We will take advantage of these few days to study it carefully and try to find a way to get through the trap.

If all else fails, we can only use the Nightmare Beast."

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other.

An elder asked cautiously:

"Is this really good?"

Chen Hongyuan said coldly:

"I would rather destroy it than let the Zhou family occupy it."

Sensing Chen Hongyuan's determination, everyone present bowed their heads:

"I understand. We will follow your orders."
