One person: After starting with the academic atmosphere, I'll take down Xia He!

"Oh, I know that. You help me gather information on the search for the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, and we can see which one I should look for first!"

Faced with the sweet voice's advice, Ma Long impatiently agreed, not believing that being careful would prevent him from attracting attention.

"Sigh, it's not that easy. Such highly confidential information wouldn't be uploaded to the internet. There's nothing I can do about it."

If it weren't for Elder Gu's reminder, I wouldn't have believed that the Double-Handed Technique could possibly cure me.

Gao Yushan sighed, indicating that she was powerless to help. The owners of the Eight Extraordinary Skills were either extremely powerful or had mysterious whereabouts, making them impossible to find.

"Did Lao Gu tell you that?"

So he knows quite a lot. Since he wants to help me, why doesn't he tell me more?

What's that old guy up to?

Ma Long was utterly baffled. Who exactly was this Lao Gu, who used the alias "Yu Hua Du"?

"ah!

You're courting death, do you even realize that?!

Master Gu is omnipresent, his spirit roams the heavens. If you dare to slander him behind his back again, don't say you weren't warned!

Gao Yushan solemnly warned, she didn't want to be implicated.

You mean he can hear our conversation?

"If he wants to, he can, but of course he shouldn't be constantly watching us."

For example, I could check everyone's phone, but I can't actually watch everyone every second; that's too difficult!

After listening to Gao Yushan's explanation, Ma Long nodded secretly, realizing that this ability wasn't too abnormal after all.

"Oh, is that so? Elder Gu is so powerful, why don't you help us more?"

Ma Long reorganized his words and his attitude became much more respectful.

"oops!

Don't always expect help from others. What are you good for?

Are all the people you employ useless?

Master Gu has already done enough; he transcends the three realms and is known for not being blinded by his own involvement!

Everyone has their own bottom line and boundaries, understand?

Gao Yushan revealed a lot more information to him, and Ma Long nodded without saying a word, remaining silent for a long time.

"Transcending the Three Realms? What a boastful claim!"

Are we all blinded by our own involvement?

This old fellow looks carefree, but there's probably something holding him back!

"Brother Long, what are you thinking about!"

You must believe in yourself and believe that we can achieve our goal.

Seeing Ma Long's silence, Gao Yushan was afraid that she would discourage him.

"Oh, good."

"You must practice the 'Qi Observation Technique' that Master Gu taught you diligently, and you must not slack off anytime sooner or later."

"The Secret of Observing Qi?"

Isn't it called "The Art of Observing Qi"?

Malone was once again puzzled: was the name fake too?

"Uh, right, it's called 'The Art of Observing Qi,' I remembered it wrong!"

The name doesn't matter; the key is that you practice the content diligently.

Do you still remember the words that Mr. Gu left for you?

What you keep in mind will surely resonate; you must recite it constantly!

Gao Yushan quickly offered an explanation to deflect the question, but Ma Long's heart began to pound.

"Ah, I don't quite remember what Elder Gu said. There are a few words I don't recognize."

Could you read it with me once?

It would be best if you could explain it to me.

Seeing Ma Long's troubled expression and his extremely embarrassed look.

"what?

You can't even recognize all the characters?

Okay, I'll read it with you once.

"Zong Zhe resides in this pavilion, laughing and singing to his heart's content, observing the past from afar!"

These dozen or so words, you have to memorize them even if it means rote learning, understand?

"okay!"

Ma Long nodded happily. Just as he had expected, this so-called Elder Gu had also given Gao Yushan a similar cultivation technique.

He was too lazy to come up with a name, which caused this misunderstanding and gave himself an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

The Golden Elixir Path involves cultivating both body and spirit.

When gathered, it takes shape; when dispersed, it becomes Qi.

Wherever it goes, the true god manifests, which is called the Yang God.

Zong Zhe resides in this pavilion, enjoying himself with laughter and song, and gaining profound insight into the past!

Regardless of which is correct, I put these two passages together and recite them every day along with the "Qingjing Jing" (Classic of Purity and Tranquility).

Then, follow the route on the drawing to circulate Qi and gather the soul.

There's definitely no mistake.

Hehe, spending so much time with the baby has made me so wise!

"Brother Long, that's it, I'm leaving."

If you need anything, just contact me on WeChat. I'm available anytime, 24/7!

After Gao Yushan left, she said a few words and then left. Ma Long's phone returned to normal.

"Alright, they're all gone."

Let's get some sleep. We'll make a profit on this trip with Lao Ma tomorrow morning!

Ma Long put down his phone, lay lazily on the bed, and enjoyed a moment of peace.

……

It was another early morning, and Ma Long, who had gotten up early, had already finished his daily practice.

"Junior Uncle!"

Village Chief Ma invited us over for breakfast; he wanted to see us off!

Wang Ye called out from outside the door, and Ma Long and Feng Baobao came out one after the other.

Feng Baobao turned around and put the two Ruhuas in the room into her food pouch; she wouldn't leave anything behind.

The three went to see Ma Xianhong.

"Brother, we've had a wonderful time together, don't you plan to stay a few more days?"

My village is very quiet, perfect for practicing martial arts and recuperating!

Ma Xianhong reluctantly tried to persuade the trio to stay.

"Oh, Old Ma!"

The beautiful scenery of Biyou is like a painting, but it can't compare to the old horse delivering the weapon forging!

Even after parting across mountains and rivers, let me give you a hug.

Ma Long stood on tiptoe and hugged Ma Xianhong's neck tightly, his eyes slightly reddening.

Wang Ye, who was behind him, tugged at his sleeve and whispered a reminder: "Junior Uncle!"

This is overacting!

"What do you know?

Just watch me do it.

Ma Long stopped Wang Ye with a look, then turned back to continue his tearful farewell to Ma Xianhong.

"Ugh!

My dear brother, it's me!

As we part, I have nothing to give you, brother. I don't have many high-grade weapon crafting materials left, and I'm truly ashamed.

"Brother, I promise you, I'll forge you a perfectly tailored magical artifact someday."

"Oh dear, I'm so embarrassed."

"I'll keep that in mind. Old Ma, keep up the good work, but remember to rest and don't overwork yourself."

Ma Long kept sobbing, but he was secretly overjoyed.

'I didn't bully any honest people!'

This is all thanks to our brotherhood!

Ma Long hesitated for a while before finally leaving, when suddenly Ma Xianhong stopped him.

"Brother, I just remembered something."

You'll probably have to stay a few more days.

Seeing that Ma Xianhong suddenly hesitated, seemingly unwilling.

"Old Ma, what happened?"

"It was my sister Qu Tong who wanted to see you to thank you for your help."

I'd like to invite you all to dinner.

Once Ma Xianhong told the truth, how could Qu Tong possibly miss the commotion that had been happening in Biyou Village these past few days?

"what?

Didn't we agree to keep it a secret?

What if you told your sister? What if she objects to us?

Although it was against his conscience, Ma Long had no choice but to slowly sow discord between Qu Tong and Ma Xianhong, and pull him onto his side.

"Well, brother, how could no one know that your large force has entered Biyou Village?"

I only told my sister some minor details; I didn't tell her about our agreement.

You can rest assured, even if she opposes us, it won't matter.

She couldn't argue with me!
