In Emei, start by obtaining golden attributes.

Chapter 16 Even if you go bald, it won't help.

After the Golden Summit Cotton Palm, Miejue also passed on the lightness skill "Three Appearances of the Divine Dragon" to Gu Shaoan.

"The Three Appearances of the Divine Dragon" is the most advanced light-body skill of the Emei School. With a single breath of true energy, one can make the body lie flat in the air and turn and spin in a circle of seven or eight zhang in diameter, just like a divine dragon traveling in the sky, changing in all directions.

Extinction was a person who valued rules the most, and in the past, his spiritual practice was based on gradual progress.

Therefore, Miejue also adhered to the idea that "martial arts should be of high quality rather than many quantity" when it came to her disciples.

Whether it's Zhao Jingxuan, Ding Minjun, Bei Jinyi, or Zhou Zhiruo who has only recently joined the Emei Sect, the cultivation of martial arts is based on mastering one martial art to the point of "entering the inner sanctum" before one can learn a new martial art.

But Gu Shaoan's talent is different.

Based on the observations over the past few days, Gu Shaoan's temperament far surpasses that of his peers. His cultivation over the past few days has been even more diligent than that of Zhao Jingxuan and Ding Minjun.

That's why Miejue taught Gu Shaoan three martial arts at the same time, and set a one-month assessment period before letting Gu Shaoan go back to practice.

Having acquired three martial arts techniques in succession, all of which were the best of the Emei Sect, Gu Shaoan was in a great mood.

I couldn't help but feel glad once again that I had chosen to come to Emei.

If Gu Shaoan had chosen to join Wudang earlier, he would probably only be learning the most basic martial arts in the Wudang sect now, which would be a waste of time.

After leaving the extinct bamboo hut, Gu Shaoan did not return directly to his own courtyard. Instead, he found a scenic spot not far from his courtyard, rested briefly, and then began to cultivate.

Perhaps because he was indeed startled by the "Immortal Touching My Head" technique used by Miejue, Gu Shaoan first practiced the "Golden Top Cotton Palm".

Gu Shaoan had already memorized the moves and mental techniques of the Golden Summit Cotton Palm. He had also personally experienced the Golden Summit Cotton Palm from Miejue before. However, he still practiced the moves and internal energy three times. The prompt message popped up in front of Gu Shaoan.

[Mastering the Golden Summit Cotton Palm technique to the beginner level, achievement points +50.]

【Golden Top Cotton Palm (Beginner) - Proficiency: 1/100】

"As expected of the most superior palm technique in the Emei Sect, the achievement points gained from just entering the beginner level are the same as those from the 'Willow Floss Sword Technique' when it reaches the advanced level."

Looking at the notification message in front of him, Gu Shaoan was not worried but happy.

For Gu Shaoan, what he lacks most right now is achievement points.

The higher the difficulty of the martial arts he cultivates, the more achievement points Gu Shaoan can obtain.

Immediately, Gu Shaoan calmed down and began cultivating again.

It was June, and the sun was scorching.

Mount Da'e is extremely high, and the heat is even more intense under the blazing sun.

Even though the place Gu Shaoan chose at this moment was under a big tree, in a shady spot.

After a period of training, he was already drenched in sweat.

But Gu Shaoan seemed oblivious to all of this, his mind still completely absorbed in practicing the palm technique.

The cultivation of martial arts does not necessarily mean that one must practice the first move in sequence to the last move.

After learning the basics of martial arts, a martial artist must first break down and refine each move. Only after mastering the coordination of the movements and internal energy can they attempt to connect the martial arts moves together.

For example, if you want to write a poem, you first need to understand the annotations and writing of each character in the poem, and then connect each character to form a complete poem.

If you don't even know how to write the characters or their meanings, how can you talk about writing?
Now, Gu Shaoan is practicing the moves of the Golden Top Cotton Palm on his own, so that when he memorizes the moves, his internal energy can also be coordinated with the operation of the moves.

During the process, Gu Shaoan's movements were sometimes fast and sometimes slow.

If Miejue were watching Gu Shaoan at this moment, she would surely be surprised to find that after each practice session, the angle and timing of Gu Shaoan's palm strikes would differ slightly from the previous practice. After several rounds of practice, Gu Shaoan glanced at the prompts for the "Golden Summit Cotton Palm" technique.

[Golden Top Cotton Palm (Beginner) - Proficiency: 7/100]

Gu Shaoan chuckled to himself as he glanced at his proficiency level, which had increased by 6 points after just a few tries.

To improve one's martial arts skills, it's not simply a matter of practicing more to achieve greater improvement.

For example, the eighth move in the "Willow Catkin Sword Technique", "Catkin Falls on the Cold River", requires the mind to sink the Qi to the Dantian, move through the Shaoyang meridian of the hand, pass through the Jianliao meridian, and pass through the Tianjing meridian, gathering Qi to move.

When making a move, when should the internal energy enter the Hand Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian? When should it pass through the Jianliao acupoint? And when should the internal energy enter the Tianjing acupoint?
Improper combination of internal energy and techniques can, at best, greatly reduce the power of swordsmanship and leave it full of loopholes, and at worst, cause internal energy to stagnate in acupoints, resulting in reverse flow of qi and blood.

It can be said that it cannot be even a fraction faster or slower.

Moreover, as one's proficiency in martial arts increases, the hidden meridians involved in the martial art are opened, and the circulation of internal energy will change.

Not to mention the movements, angles, timing, and so on when making a move.

Some martial arts skills can perhaps be mastered through diligent study and practice.

But some martial arts are like advanced mathematics in the previous life; if you can't learn them, you just can't learn them, even if you go bald, it won't help.

If martial arts training were truly that simple, everyone in the martial arts world could master their skills to a "perfect and effortless" level simply by diligently practicing, and there would be countless masters everywhere.

Many people will not have spent years or even decades mastering martial arts, only to find themselves still at the "beginner level".

But Gu Shaoan did not have this problem.

As the ancients said, "Using a bronze mirror can help one straighten one's clothes."

For Gu Shaoan, the data on the proficiency panel serves as a mirror to verify whether he has made any mistakes in his cultivation.

If the cultivation path is wrong, or the speed of internal energy circulation when striking is wrong, or the angle of the strike or the force contained therein is wrong, the proficiency increase of "Golden Top Cotton Palm" on the panel will not increase.

If the training is performed to a sufficient standard, one can gain 1 point or even more proficiency.

This allows Gu Shaoan to actively intervene and adjust his martial arts training during cultivation.

In a game, this is almost useless.

However, in reality, the benefits it brings are enormous.

I don't know if I cultivated for a quarter of an hour or the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

As his hands moved swiftly and his inner energy circulated, a profound and mysterious feeling suddenly emerged from the depths of his heart.

At this moment, Gu Shaoan felt as if he had been blessed by an immortal, his mind was clear, and his thoughts were filled with a continuous stream of inspiration.

As the palms flutter, the internal energy within the body follows a special rhythm, perfectly complementing the moves.

Gu Shaoan's proficiency in the "Golden Top Cotton Palm" technique also increased at an extremely rapid pace.

[Successfully entered the initial stage of "Golden Summit Cotton Palm" skill, achievement points +100]

【Golden Top Cotton Palm (Beginner Level) - Current Proficiency: 1/500】

[Half an hour of practicing superior martial arts, Achievement Points +10.]

　The pace is a bit slow right now, mainly because this process is necessary at the beginning, and the story will start to unfold later. As a newbie, I'm begging for data and support from readers!
