In the evening of that day, Zhang Yao left Jinding Martial Arts Hall again and when he returned to the courtyard, the progress of Jinding Kung Fu had reached 5%.
"It seems that my judgment was correct."
He sat on the stone bench in the small courtyard, thinking about the training he received in the martial arts studio in the afternoon.
Under Zhou An's careful teaching, he has become very proficient in the twenty-four postures of carrying the tripod, at least there are no errors in his movements.
A normal apprentice would need at least a month to officially start, but it only took him just one day.
"According to Master Zhou, the training of the twenty-four postures of carrying the tripod is the foundation of the Golden Cauldron Gong."
"Strengthening the muscles and bones, cultivating and refining Qi, and strengthening Qi and blood...this stage will continue until the Golden Cauldron Gong is completed."
"After a small amount of success, you will change to a new way of exercise, truly step into the path of practicing hard skills, and widen the gap between you and ordinary people."
Zhang Yao thought about this, and thoughts surged in his heart.
The practice of Jinding Gong undoubtedly requires a large amount of energy, which conflicts with Taiyi Zhuang Gong.
Normally, the energy that a person can transform every day is very limited. Even if you eat six meals a day, you still can't digest it.
The apprentices of Jinding Martial Arts School have larger appetites than ordinary people and have more energy, but they can only practice for two hours a day at most, and any more will be harmful to the body.
"But I have the talent of energy transformation, so I am not afraid of running out of energy and blood."
"Excluding the time for sleeping, eating, excreting and dealing with some chores every day, at least seven or eight hours can be spent practicing."
Zhang Yao frowned slightly, thinking about his future training arrangements:
"Taiyi Zhuang Gong is about to be completed, so we can't give up."
"But in this way, even if I have the talent of transforming essence, practicing two martial arts at the same time will definitely slow down my progress."
"It's better to wait until the Taiyi Zhuang Gong is fully completed, then stop temporarily and practice the Golden Cauldron Gong with all your strength."
Zhang Yao has a very clear plan for his future.
…………
Two months later.
Jinding Martial Arts Hall, in the martial arts arena in the outer courtyard.
"Junior Brother Zhang!"
"Junior Brother Zhang, you came early."
In the early morning, there were already more than a dozen figures on the martial arts field, and when they saw Zhang Yao, they all said hello.
Zhang Yao also responded politely one by one, came to a corner of the martial arts arena, and began to practice the twenty-four postures of carrying a tripod.
Two months have passed, and he has devoted almost all his time to the practice of "Jin Ding Gong" and Taiyi Zhuang Gong, living a life of two points and one line every day.
I come to Jinding Martial Arts Hall to practice in the morning, and go home to practice alone in the afternoon and evening. I often go to the drug store to buy some medicinal materials that can replenish my vitality and maintain my talent of transforming my vitality.
Although there were occasional hiccups, he skillfully resolved them without causing much trouble.
And under such a life of ascetic cultivation, his progress in martial arts is also very amazing.
Name: Zhang Yao
Talent: source of vitality, transformation of essence
Skills: Mastery of Medicinal Materials (50%), Taiyi Zhuang Gong (69%), Alchemy (14%), Jinding Gong (28%)
"call……"
Zhang Yao slowly lowered his posture, exhaled a breath, and looked at the attribute panel with a trace of expectation.
"Taiyi Zhuang Gong will be completed soon, probably within the next two days."
"And Jinding Gong is about to enter the realm of small success."
Although he was distracted and distracted, the progress of Jinding Gong was still rapid.
According to Zhou An, martial arts apprentices with ordinary talents need to practice hard for at least three to five years before they can reach the level of success in Jinding Gong.
And it only took him two months.
In addition to his talent, the foundation laid by Taiyi Zhuang Gong was more important and played a far greater role than he expected.
One morning passed in such a hurry.
Zhang Yao said goodbye to all the apprentices, left the Jinding Martial Arts Hall, and returned to his small courtyard.
In the inner courtyard of the martial arts hall: the owner's family was having a meal. In addition to Zhang Yannian, there was also a tall and broad man, and a girl in a red outfit.
"Prolong life."
Zhou An took a mouthful of food, looked at Zhang Yannian, and asked, "Do you have any clues about what I asked you to investigate before?"
"not yet."
Zhang Yannian shook his head and said cautiously: "I borrowed the connections in the second senior brother's family to investigate carefully."
"But this Zhang Yao seems to have appeared out of thin air. He has no relatives or friends in Changping City, and no one knows him."
"His origins can't be found out at all, and the earliest clues only ended when they arrived at Yunlai Inn..."
When Zhou An heard this, he couldn't help but frown and remained silent.
In the past two months, he had secretly observed Zhang Yao several times, and also used his connections to arrange some minor troubles, hoping to see how Zhang Yao would respond.
After several trials, he was quite satisfied with Zhang Yao's martial arts talent and conduct.
The only doubt is that his origins are unclear.
"Master!"
The tall and muscular man said in a muffled voice, "You said that Zhang Yao has practiced health-preserving pile skills since he was a child. Isn't this an obvious clue?"
"After all, there are a lot of efforts in maintaining health, but most of them are fake. The real secrets of longevity are basically related to the true traditions of the family."
"Starting from this point, maybe we can find out his true origin."
Zhou An shook his head and said: "Zong Wei, of course I have considered the method you suggested."
"But the true inheritance of the Nei family is very rare. There are only a few inheritances in Changping City at most, and they are all hidden."
"If you inquire about this matter rashly, you will easily offend people's taboos, and I have no way of starting..."
Zhang Yannian and Meng Zongwei looked at each other and felt helpless after hearing this.
In the past two months, they have been running around and conducting secret investigations. However, in this world, it is really difficult to track down an isolated immigrant.
Although the influence of Jinding Martial Arts School is not small, it is only limited to Changping City and cannot do anything outside the city.
The girl in red on the side couldn't help rolling her eyes when she heard their conversation: "If you ask me, how can there be so many twists and turns?"
"Dad, if you want to know the origin of that kid, can you just call him over and ask him?"
When the three of them heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other.
"right!"
Zhou An thought about it for a moment and suddenly laughed: "Being straight to the point and being sincere is sometimes not necessarily a bad idea."
…………
That night.
In the small courtyard, the moonlight shines everywhere.
Zhang Yao is still practicing Taiyi Zhuang Gong hard, and the transition between movement and stillness has a unique charm, like a river rushing, surging back and forth, and responding to urgency.
After practicing it a dozen times in a row:
"This is……"
Zhang Yao's heart suddenly shook, and a strange feeling that he had not seen for a long time came over his body.
This time, this feeling was more obvious and clearer. He could even feel a warm current surging out, swimming spontaneously between his chest and abdomen.
"Breakthrough?"
He felt happy and subconsciously called up the attribute panel.
Sure enough, the progress of Taiyi Zhuang Gong has passed the last obstacle and reached 70%.
"It's been a whole year!"
Zhang Yao's mood was complicated, and his face showed joy and relief: "Taiyi Zhuang Gong is finally a success!"
