Who said I practiced the exercises incorrectly?

Chapter 80 "Four Three Two One Combined Attack Technique"!
As soon as the steamer is opened, white steam rises up and the hot air hits you in the face.

Ning Yan took ten buns from the stall owner, half of them filled with tofu and half with sauerkraut.

The tofu is mixed with chopped chilies, so it tastes only a little spicy, while the sauerkraut is mixed with a little minced meat, which gives it a slight meaty flavor.

Ning Yan, one of them, strode towards Juhua Hutong.

Suddenly, funeral music sounded from the front. A funeral procession, wearing mourning hats and hemp ropes around their waists, walked towards us with sad faces. Before they got close, there was a commotion.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Don't block the road!"

Amid screams, a warrior in black came running towards this side with a medicine bag in his hand, and several warriors followed behind him, shouting:
"Put down the bone-washing flower!"

A group of people rushed past with a strong wind.

In just a short distance, Ning Yan encountered three families holding funerals, two conflicts over the snatching of medicine, and a group of warriors walking out of the pharmacy with sad faces.

"Has the shortage of medicinal materials in Qingcang County reached this point?"

Looking at the old man who died of illness on the cart, Ning Yan couldn't help but frown slightly.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered the map he had obtained before.

The bolded route is obviously the trade route connecting Qingcang County and Fulong County, but a large section in the middle is painted black. This must be because the trade route is blocked and medicinal materials from outside cannot be transported in. No one knows what happened there.

After stuffing the last bun into his mouth, Ning Yan came to Baiqiang Hutong and sat down at a long table under the locust tree at the corner, waiting for the Lao Hai family members who might arrive.

He has already posted all the portraits. Anyone in the city should be able to receive the message, but he doesn't know when the other party will arrive.

The waiting period was quite boring, so Ning Yan simply took out the secret book he had found from old man Gao Guan.

The words in the secret book were written very ugly, even uglier than his own. Each one looked as if it had been beaten up by someone, and was completely unreadable. Even with his eyesight, he could only barely recognize about 30% to 40% of them.

If these 30 to 40 percent of the words were put together, it would be fine and the meaning of the whole sentence could be roughly understood. However, if they were separated into two sentences, it would be impossible to understand them at all.

After this experience, Ning Yan finally realized that as long as his handwriting was ugly enough, it wouldn't matter if the secret book was stolen. Who knows, people might even become obsessed with it if they followed his example.

"This way I don't have to buy calligraphy books to practice calligraphy!"

Fortunately, this secret book is just the experience of cultivation after all. According to Ning Yan's analysis, the contents written on it are mainly concentrated in the following four aspects: "Insect Taming Technique", "Extreme Yang True Body", "Five, Six, Seven, Eight Combined Attack Technique", and "Thousand Faces and Ten Thousand Incarnations".

"The Insect Taming Method" is the earliest record, and its content accounts for about half of the entire secret book. It is also written in the most sloppy manner. Ning Yan cannot see clearly what the specific content is, and can only barely recognize the origin and purpose of this method.

This method was picked up by Elder Gao Guan from the corpse of an outer disciple of the Corpse Bone Sect. It should be one of the most simple outer sect skills of the sect. Even so, it took Elder Gao Guan decades of research and hard practice, and in the end he could only barely master a few corpse-controlling insects.

The corpse-controlling insect can be used to manipulate corpses, even huge creatures like the mummy Li Yuan.

If one has mastered the practice, one person will be able to control several powerful corpses, which can be said to be an army of one person.

But old man Gao Guan obviously had limited qualifications and his practice was not deep enough, so he could only control the mummy Li Yuan. If there were more, even if the quality of the corpses was slightly worse than Li Yuan's, he would have no chance of survival in that battle.

In addition, Ning Yan also keenly judged that the Corpse Bone Sect behind the "Insect Taming Technique" was definitely a behemoth. The skills of the outer disciples alone could be used to control violent-level corpse puppets, so how powerful would the skills practiced by the inner disciples and even the core disciples be?

No wonder the master said that there are mysterious methods in this world that have no threshold and can easily break through the levels of Qi Gathering and even Qi Burst. I'm afraid that only large sects like the Corpse Bone Sect can master this level of mysterious methods and mass-produce warriors who have reached the Qi Burst or even higher levels.

It's a pity that these have nothing to do with him for the time being. The Corpse Bone Sect is nowhere to be found.

With his current strength, it is a question whether he can safely reach the neighboring Fulong County.

Shaking his head, Ning Yan put away the thoughts in his mind and turned to look at the record of the next practice.

He had actually experienced "Extreme Yang True Body" in battle. That ignorant kid seemed to think that he couldn't absorb the vitality in his body, so he jumped in his face and taunted him, and then he was sucked dry.

However, it takes 20% of one's strength to absorb it, which already shows the extraordinaryness of this technique. If it were practiced by him, outsiders might not be able to absorb it.

This set of skills was also received by Elder Gao Guan by accident many years ago. The content was also written very hastily, and most of it was indistinguishable. The scattered words were almost all related to growing medicine, describing the details of selecting varieties, breeding directions, and many other kinds of medicine, which made Ning Yan look confused.

Is it possible that to practice this technique I have to grow the herbs myself?
What kind of weird technique is this?

He curled his lips and continued to flip through the pages. The further back in the book went, the clearer the handwriting became. It was obvious that the old man had made some progress through the long period of recording, which meant that the content he could understand was mainly concentrated in the last two parts of the skills.

Especially the experience of "A Thousand Faces and Avatars", he could understand almost the whole article. Even the meanings of some of the aliases and secret codes in it could not stop him at all. After all, he had mastered "A Thousand Faces and Avatars". From a high vantage point, he looked back at the elementary school notes made by the old man and guessed them right every time. He even deciphered many secret codes on the spot.

However, the experience gained in this technique was a complete burden to him and was completely useless.

On the contrary, the deciphered secret code made a huge contribution to the understanding of the "Five-Six-Seven-Eight Combined Attack Technique".

"At least five people, at most eight people. No wonder it's called the Five, Six, Seven, Eight Combined Attack Technique."

This combined attack technique is practiced by many people and then performed together in battle. It can mobilize the energy of others to a certain extent, greatly enhance the power of a certain move, making it unexpected and difficult to resist.

Having had actual combat experience, Ning Yan was able to fully appreciate the power of this combined attack technique.

"But it requires multiple people to practice, and it doesn't seem to be of any use to me."

Ning Yan was thinking, and suddenly his expression froze:
"Why should the understanding of the exercises be so limited?"

"Joint attack... Joint attack... Can't I just join forces with myself?"

"Aren't my strong left arm and powerful right arm twin brothers?"

"My sturdy left leg and powerful right leg are like twin friends!!"

Ning Yan understood instantly, and strong inspiration bloomed wildly in his mind like fireworks.

In an instant, a series of profound and mysterious words emerged in his mind, and finally formed a brand new skill.

This technique is based on oneself. The four limbs cooperate with each other, the vital energy flows, the power is doubled, and each move can cause extremely terrifying damage.

"Since it was formed by my four brothers, I'll call it the Four-Three-Two-One Combined Attack Technique!"

Ning Yan was quite satisfied with the creation of a completely new method.

At this moment, there were sudden bursts of dense footsteps coming from the front of the alley.
