Travel through the heavens

Although Fang Muye only passed on a trace of true Qi, the amount was not much, but it was the true Qi of the sun and the moon where "the sun and the moon shine together, and the yin and yang turn and are born according to the heart". Its quality was extremely high. Even if it was only a trace, it benefited Duan Yu a lot.

When Fang Muye sensed the Qi in Duan Yu's Danzhong acupoint, he knew that he had mastered the "absorption and storage function of the hand Taiyin lung meridian and the Ren meridian". He immediately mobilized his true Qi and continued to transfer it to Duan Yu's Shaoshang acupoint like a thread, helping him to achieve the internal strength foundation of "Northern Divine Art".

Fang Muye stopped only when he felt a faint suction coming from Duan Yu's Shaoshang acupoint.

Duan Yu returned the last wisp of Sun and Moon Qi to his Dantian. His face became extremely rosy and his eyes were full of curiosity and excitement.

Fang Muye asked: "How do you feel?"

Duan Yu could not contain his joy and shouted, "I feel refreshed and energetic. I never thought that learning martial arts could have such a miraculous effect. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! Thank you Master for teaching me martial arts!"

Fang Muye smiled and said, "The reason I pass on my skills to you is to help you build your inner strength foundation. You should follow the training methods of the various meridians in the Northern Ocean Divine Art to circulate this inner strength. You must not slack off. The other purpose is to pave the way for you to practice the Lingbo Weibu."

"'Lingbo Weibu' is not only a body movement technique, but also a supreme martial art. Every step you take is closely related to the movement of your entire body and your internal strength. It is by no means just a walk, so you need to have sufficient internal strength to complete it in one go. Otherwise, the meridians in your body will be disrupted, and there is a risk of going insane, becoming possessed, or even having menopause and having your meridians cut off."

"Moreover, this martial art is to cultivate internal strength through dynamic exercises. When you step through the sixty-four hexagrams, your internal breath will naturally circulate through the heavens. Therefore, every time you walk through it, your internal strength will increase. Now that you have internal strength in your body, you should practice it quickly. Don't let your teacher down."

Duan Yu immediately bowed and said, "Yes, Master."

"Lingbo Weibu" is in line with the "Book of Changes". Duan Yu became more interested in learning it and found it so fun that he couldn't express it in words. He was also familiar with the "Book of Changes", so learning it was not difficult for him. With Fang Muye's guidance, he made rapid progress.

He practiced "Northern Divine Art" and "Lingbo Weibu" alternately every day, and found that practicing martial arts could be so much fun, which was no less than reading and reciting scriptures.

On the third night, the moon was high in the sky, and the lake in the valley was reflected in it.

Duan Yu's figure by the lake leaped forward and backward, dodged left and right. He was in the west the moment before, and suddenly turned around in the air and was in the east. His feet seemed to be staggering, but in fact his steps were skillful and complex. His steps were like a gust of wind, creating a dreamy shadow.

After he had stepped through all sixty-four hexagrams and his steps formed a circle, Duan Yu stopped. When he was practicing, he was still several feet away from Fang Muye, but when he stopped at this moment, he suddenly appeared in front of Fang Muye.

"Master, what do you think of my footwork?" Duan Yu stood up and looked at Fang Muye expectantly, like a child waiting for praise from an adult.

Fang Muye smiled and said, "You have mastered the art of Lingbo Weibu, but if you want to use it to fight an enemy or escape, you must practice it to perfection and be able to do it without even thinking about it."

"Before that, if you happen to be in a fight with an expert, you must be careful. You don't have enough fighting experience and you are not familiar with the footwork. The opponent's master's moves are real and fake, and they are unpredictable. If you see the enemy attacking and then use footwork to dodge, it will be too late. If the enemy attacks in groups, it will be even more difficult for you to deal with."

"If you really encounter such a situation, don't panic, just focus on your own steps and ignore the enemy. This way, the enemy will chase you instead of you trying to dodge. With the mysterious power of Lingbo Weibu, the enemy should be unable to do anything to you. But this method can work for a while, but it is not a long-term solution. Don't be lucky, you still have to master it as soon as possible."

Duan Yu looked solemn, bowed and said respectfully, "Yes, Master, I will remember this."

Fang Muye nodded and smiled, saying: "Now that you have mastered the two martial arts, it is time for us to leave."

Duan Yu's joy was immediately beyond words. In the past few days, he often thought of Zhong Ling. Whenever he thought of this, he would secretly take out Zhong Ling's pair of flowery shoes from his bosom and play with them in his hands without his master's knowledge, imagining her slender ankles and pretty face.

Now that I can finally leave the valley to rescue the beauty, I am naturally overjoyed.

Fang Muye immediately brought Duan Yu to the place where he came down, and used the Ape Fighting Technique. The moonlight slowly flowed into his body, and a bright halo appeared on his side, as if another full moon had appeared on earth.

Duan Yu looked at the scene in front of him, and was shocked at first, but then he became numb, muttering in his heart: Master always says that he is not an immortal, but he always acts like an immortal. Oh, Master, if you are an immortal, just tell me, I will only respect you more, and will not be afraid of alienation, so why hide it from me...

While he was daydreaming, Fang Muye had already mobilized the sun and moon true energy in the twelve meridians, and drew out the inner spirit in the sky valley to focus on his eyes. He picked him up, and turned him into a light and ethereal cloud, and his body was as agile and skillful as a clever ape, and he quickly leaped up the cliff.

It didn't take long for the two of them to reach the edge of the cliff.

Fang Muye put Duan Yu back on the ground and took a breath. The cliff was very high, and he was carrying Duan Yu, so it was not as easy as it would be if he were alone. He said, "Ah Yu, take me to the place where you agreed to meet with Sikong Xuan."

After he finished speaking, he did not hear Duan Yu's response, so he looked over, only to see Duan Yu staring at him with a resentful look. He was puzzled and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Duan Yu said dimly: "Master, you must have your reasons for not wanting to tell me. I won't ask. I will take you to see Sikong Xuan now." After saying that, he walked in front sullenly to lead the way.

Fang Muye didn't know that Duan Yu had already regarded him as an immortal in his heart. He just felt that his words were incomprehensible, but he was too lazy to think too much and just followed him.

The two of them followed the moonlight and found a way to go. After walking for more than ten miles, they saw from afar a cluster of stars dotted on the opposite hillside and a bunch of fires burning. To the east of the fires, there was a towering mountain. At the foot of the mountain, there were dozens of large houses. This was the Jianhu Palace of the Wuliang Sword Sect.

Duan Yu's mood had returned to normal by now, and he pointed at the fire and said, "Master, the Shennong Gang is over there."

Fang Muye nodded and walked towards the fire first.

When they walked to a few dozen feet away from the huge fire in the center, two men in yellow clothes suddenly jumped out from the darkness, both of them had medicine bags hanging from their shoulders and held a short knife with a very broad blade in their hands.

One of them shouted, "Who is it?" After he finished drinking, he found Duan Yu beside Fang Muye and said, "It turns out that Brother Duan has returned. This must be Miss Zhong's father. Please follow me to see the leader."

Without waiting for Duan Yu to explain, he led the two of them towards the big fire in the center, while the other one ran ahead, probably to report the news.

Fang Muye and Duan Yu had just walked to the big fire when a thin old man with a goatee came up with a few people and laughed, "Brother Duan is back."

Sikong Xuan looked towards Fang Muye as he spoke. Although he was surprised at his young appearance, he still said, "You must be Miss Zhong's father, right? Mr. Zhong, please come in. I, Sikong Xuan, am honored to meet you."

At this time, a clear and crisp voice sounded: "Goatee, don't talk nonsense, this person is not my father."
