How did I, a mere son-in-law lying down, become a "Fenglang Juxu" (a legendary martial art

In the days that followed, Liu Shan would be in the courtyard before dawn every day, meditating and cultivating according to the mental techniques taught by Jiang Ruolan, until the first ray of morning light shone into the Li residence.

Seeing that Liu Shan had the idea of ​​learning martial arts, Li Wanqing naturally gave her full support.

In response to Liu Shan's frail physique, Amber specifically instructed him to prepare medicinal meals and baths for him on time, according to the prescription given by Jiang Ruolan.

In addition to meditating every morning, Liu Shan would also practice several sets of boxing techniques in the courtyard.

For the first few days, Jiang Ruolan felt that Liu Shan's boxing was too simple, until she saw him use Bajiquan and Taijiquan, which made her eyes light up.

Jiang Ruolan has excellent martial arts aptitude and is proficient in all kinds of weapons, including knives, spears, swords, halberds, bows, crossbows, and rattan shields. She is best at knives and bows, but she is not good at unarmed combat.

On the contrary, Xiao Yue was particularly fond of martial arts, so she became Liu Shan's sparring partner.

However, Liu Shan was not satisfied with this, because while his martial arts skills were good enough for one-on-one combat, they were not enough in the midst of a large army.

Besides, what man doesn't dream of "going in and out seven times"?!

So Liu Shan, with his silver tongue and shamelessness, coaxed Jiang Ruolan into teaching him basic sword techniques.

Basic knife skills include "sweeping, chopping, parrying, slicing, sweeping, parrying, cutting, slashing, and thrusting," which are simple and easy to learn. The only drawback is that they require daily practice, and each movement needs to be practiced repeatedly, which can be quite tedious.

Liu Shan, however, was still enjoying it immensely. Every day, he would hold a knife in his hand, his back soaked with sweat, yet his eyes remained firm and his movements steady.

Seeing this, Jiang Ruolan sighed inwardly. Perhaps this was what made Liu Shan different. His tenacity and perseverance were truly admirable.

Day after day, Liu Shan's swordsmanship gradually became more proficient, his movements acquiring a touch of sharpness, and his gaze grew increasingly resolute.

That morning, the person who brought Liu Shan the medicinal meal was not the maid Amber, but Li Wanqing.

For days, Liu Shan had been engrossed in cultivation, while Li Wanqing was preoccupied with her own affairs. The two had only met a handful of times, let alone exchanged any words.

It was quite a surprise that Li Wanqing took the initiative to come to him, which made him genuinely happy.

"To support your martial arts training, my father reduced my monthly allowance from twenty taels of silver to ten taels of silver."

"..."

Liu Shan's newly emerging joy was nipped in the bud by Li Wanqing's words.

It turned out she had come to confront him.

“But I voluntarily reduced my monthly expenses to five taels of silver, so that my father could use the fifteen taels of silver he saved to support your martial arts training.”

Liu Shan blinked. Since she's said that, does she mean she wants me to pay her back?

Fifteen taels a month, that's no small sum!

Just as Liu Shan was thinking about how to renege on his debt, Li Wanqing said again, "I'm telling you this not so that you'll pay me back, but to tell you that as long as you're willing to work hard, I'm willing to support you."

Liu Shan was taken aback; this girl's perspective had actually broadened, which was beyond his expectations.

Li Wanqing had witnessed Liu Shan's efforts over this period of time. Since the man listened to advice and worked hard, she was naturally willing to show him some goodwill.

“If you’re willing to keep working this hard, it’s not impossible for us to…” Li Wanqing suddenly felt a little shy.

The double negative "no" indicates affirmation, meaning "yes"...

What can it do?

They've been married for over a month and haven't even kissed. Now she's telling him it's okay?

That's a load of rubbish!

Is this woman trying to slow down his sword-drawing speed?!

At this moment, Liu Shan firmly believed that without women in his heart, his swordsmanship would naturally become divine!

Li Wanqing hesitated, seemingly waiting for the man's sweet words, but the result was—

Liu Shan picked up the medicinal food on the table and wolfed it down, his manner as rude as could be.

Li Wanqing finally managed to hold back until Liu Shan spoke, but unexpectedly, it was just "add a bowl of rice".

Li Wanqing lost her composure and, not wanting to stay even a second longer, stormed out of the courtyard.

Liu Shan watched her retreating figure, a smile spreading across his eyes. This medicinal cuisine smelled delicious!

After the meal, Liu Shan began practicing his martial arts as usual, while Xiao Yue, unusually, did not sneak out of the mansion to play, and went to the martial arts field with Jiang Ruolan.

Xiao Yue suddenly realized that Liu Shanming was simply sitting there, yet he exuded a familiar aura. Startled, she cautiously stepped forward to investigate.

Sure enough!

"Senior Sister, Brother Liu has actually cultivated internal energy!" Xiao Yue exclaimed excitedly.

Jiang Ruolan stepped forward quickly and gently placed her left hand on Liu Shan's shoulder.

She mobilized a trace of her internal energy and tried to channel it into Liu Shan's body.

"Snapped!"

The moment that wisp of internal force touched Liu Shan's body, Jiang Ruolan's fingers were repelled by another wisp of internal force.

Although the internal force that flicked the finger was extremely weak and could not harm Jiang Ruolan at all, its existence proved that Liu Shan had actually cultivated internal force!

Simply unbelievable!

It should be noted that Jiang Ruolan's cultivation aptitude was already considered excellent, but it still took her two full months to barely cultivate internal energy. How long did it take Liu Shancai?

Half a month?

In just half a month, he cultivated internal energy. If he continued to cultivate at this speed, wouldn't he be... Just thinking about it is terrifying!

Although Jiang Ruolan was also a young prodigy, the desire to admire strength is human nature, and she was eager to see how far Liu Shan could go on his martial arts journey!

"Among the many martial artists in the Xia Dynasty, not many were able to cultivate internal energy. Nowadays, the masters in the martial arts world are divided into three levels from high to low: first-class masters, second-class masters, and third-class masters. Martial artists who cannot cultivate internal energy can only reach the level of third-class masters in their entire lives, while martial artists who can cultivate internal energy start as third-class masters. The gap between them is far greater than you can imagine."

"This Nine Revolutions Profound Technique is divided into nine levels. Cultivating the first three levels will make you a top-tier third-rate master, cultivating the first six levels will make you a top-tier second-rate master, and cultivating the ninth level will make you a top-tier first-rate master. Now that you have learned the first level of the technique and cultivated your internal energy, Ruolan congratulates Young Master Liu."

After saying that, she solemnly bowed to Liu Shan with her hands clasped in a fist salute.

During the time Liu Shan had been learning martial arts, Jiang Ruolan hadn't addressed him as "Young Master" with such proper etiquette in a long time. Her current address truly conveyed a sense of respect.

Liu Shan returned the greeting with clasped hands, his eyes sparkling with excitement. He had truly become the "martial arts master" he had always dreamed of!

Now that I have this opportunity, wouldn't it be a disservice to my identity as a transmigrator if I didn't cultivate diligently?!

“Brother Liu, this Nine Revolutions Profound Technique is a closely guarded secret and must not be revealed to outsiders, otherwise…”
