Chapter 1: The Power of Moonlight

  The merchant caravan proceeded along the official road, slowly moving forward. Zhou Liang gazed at the scenery outside the window. Compared to the previously more elegant mountains and forests, these mountains seemed to be gradually becoming more majestic. The north had many rugged mountains, while the south had many beautiful waters. Huizhou was located at the intersection of the north and south, where the mountain landscape underwent subtle changes, which was normal.

  At noon, Zhao Hu and Zhao Hui came together. After the incident of Jiang Shi Jin, their attitude towards Zhou Liang had undergone a 180-degree turn, especially Zhao Hu, who would often go to Zhou Liang's place to ask for his opinion, even when it came to lodging and dining.

  Zhou Liang didn't comment much on this, Zhao Hu's actions were more of a show of respect, if he really wanted to point fingers and criticize, it would only lead to dislike, he wasn't very familiar with these trivial matters, so it was better to let Zhao Hu handle them.

  "Zhou Shaoxia, there's still half a day's journey before we arrive at Qimen!"

  "Qimen!" Zhou Liang was stunned for a moment, then remembered that Qimen was the destination of his trip. The famous Huangshan was right there. He nodded slightly and didn't speak, but saw Zhao Hu still standing there without leaving.

  "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

  Zhao Hu hesitated for a moment and said: "It's like this, we're not going to Qimen!"

  Zhou Liang was slightly stunned, and indeed, Qi Gate is close to Huangshan, which is a relatively remote place, not on the main road of business. Zhao Hu and others have been telling him until now, which is already very respectful. He nodded indifferently and said, "Okay, I know!"

  "Zhou Shaoxia, I've already instructed Zhao Ren, he will be staying in Qimen for a while!" Zhao Hu said.

  "That's enough, just send me to Qimen!"

  "This!" Zhao Hu hesitated for a moment, but didn't say anything else. As an old hand in the caravan trade who had weathered many storms, he was well aware that Zhou Liang and he were people from two different worlds. To have this chance encounter was already a very fortunate thing.

  Standing behind Zhao Hu, Zhao Hui opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but ultimately closed it. He also wanted to ask Zhou Liang to be his master, but thinking of Jiang Shigeng's experience, he didn't dare speak out.

  If Zhou Liang were just a teenager, it would be hard to tell, but he was an old bird of over a thousand years, how could he not know what his gaze represented? He hesitated for a moment, then said to Zhao Hui: "I have a set of loose hands that I can pass on to you!"

  Zhao Hui fell to the ground and knocked his head excitedly: "Master!"

  Zhou Liang stretched out his hand, and a dark force suddenly dragged Zhao Hui back. Zhao Hui couldn't struggle free anymore, his face turned pale, not knowing what to do. But then he saw Zhou Liang smiling and saying: "Just casually passing it on, I suppose that's fate!"

  Zhao Hu sighed slightly in his heart. As a veteran of the business world, he could see that Zhao Hui and this young eccentric had no fate together, not even comparable to Jiang Shi Jin. But what could he do? He turned around and bowed to Zhou Liang, then left. Zhou Liang's overbearing nature far exceeded his imagination. Being able to learn a set of scattered hands from him was also a significant improvement for Zhao Hui.

  What Zhou Liang taught was not the Easy Muscle and Bone Tempering Chapter, but a martial art he had accidentally obtained in his past life. In the Cultivation Realm, it was insignificant and belonged to the lowest level. However, when placed in the secular world, it became a rare and precious divine technique.

  The technique didn't seem complicated to Zhou Liang, but Zhao Hui had to watch it four or five times before he could remember it roughly. As for whether he forgot anything at all, Zhou Liang wasn't concerned about that. In the end, he gave him over a dozen Yuan Qi Dan, which were commonly used by cultivators in the early stages of their cultivation. These dan medicines, which would have almost no effect on him, should be enough to make Zhao Hui an ordinary martial artist without any problems.

  The Gong Fa added Shén Dān, and it seemed to have been smashed onto Zhao Hui's head like a pancake. He still felt a bit dizzy now.

  After lunch, Zhou Liang formally parted ways with the Zhao family's merchant team. Of course, the driver Zhao Ren still followed him to send him to Qimen. As for the Zhao family's merchant team, they rushed to Huizhou City. They were on one road, and going to Qimen next to Huangshan was another road.

  The horse carriage went on the road alone, Zhao Ren swung the whip and made a loud noise, the horse carriage quickly galloped forward, all the way very safe. As the sun set in the west, the speed of the horse carriage began to slow down. Zhao Ren turned his head and said carefully: "Young master, ahead is Qimen, we have arrived!"

  Zhou Liang opened the car curtain, and not far in front was a small town. Behind the small town was the majestic Huangshan Mountain. He nodded and said, "Alright, find a cleaner inn, I'll stay in Qimen for a few days, then you can go back!"

  The horseshoes hit the stone road, making a crisp sound. After about half an incense stick's time, the carriage stopped. Zhou Liang looked around and found that, without knowing when, the carriage had already stopped in front of a guest house. Looking at the flagpole in front, the name "Longhang Inn" was fluttering.

  Longxing Inn is the largest inn in Qimen, with nearly a hundred rooms, covering a considerable area, divided into more than ten courtyards. Zhao Ren has already entered and arranged for him to stay in a refined room, which is a small three-room suite, with a small courtyard that looks very quiet and secluded.

  "Master Zhou, I've taken care of everything. You can rest assured now!" Zhao Ren carefully settled everything and busied himself back and forth until dinner time before finishing up, saying to Zhou Liangdao.

  "Alright, don't bother anymore, I won't be staying here for many more days either, you can go rest now!"

  The sky had already darkened, and Zhao Ren would be staying here for the night. He would set off tomorrow to head towards Huizhou City. After speaking with Zhou Liang and bidding him farewell, he left. Zhou Liang looked around at the small courtyard, which was made of bamboo and wood, and was located near the back, making it very quiet and secluded. Zhou Liang was very satisfied.

  After dinner, he strolled around Qimen again, but perhaps due to the late hour, there were no significant gains. Zhou Liang could only return with a disappointed heart. Back at the inn, it was already midnight. Looking up at the crescent moon shining in the sky, Zhou Liang's mood was particularly different. He gazed freely at the moon in the sky, and the faint moonlight shone down on him. The moonlight was also a form of energy, which was usually absorbed by demonic cultivators. Cultivators who had reached the stage of Shaping the Body would also absorb moonlight to refine their spiritual consciousness. But Zhou Liang didn't even have a breath of energy, so how could he utilize this moonlight?

  The moonlight can cultivate the mind, this, Zhou Liang's heart suddenly shook violently, could it be that the second segment of Easy Tendon and Bone is related to the moonlight? His eyes stared intensely at the bright moon in the sky, silently pondering the words of the second segment of Easy Tendon and Bone. The previously obscure text seemed to have become more vivid under the nourishment of the moonlight. Zhou Liang could even see the text of Easy Tendon and Bone flowing through his mind, laying a foundation with his spirit. However, if one's spirit is exhausted, it would put their life in danger, unless...

  "Let's try it!" Zhou Liang muttered to himself.

  Almost simultaneously with speaking, his divine soul was driven by him, and after a mysterious transformation in the body, it became energy to drive the Dao foundation. However, this energy was far inferior compared to the reversal of the demonic heart. Zhou Liang's divine soul was also consumed too quickly, and just as his divine soul was about to be completely consumed, Zhou Liang remained calm and quietly recited the second part of the Easy Tendon and Bone Scripture. The familiar text flowed in his mind, and it seemed that a certain lock had been opened, causing the moonlight power shining on him to suddenly receive an inexplicable pull, transforming into divine consciousness, which then transformed into Dao foundation through the divine consciousness, forming a complete cycle.

  Zhou Liang's body suddenly shook violently, and indeed, he finally found it. The second segment of the Easy Tendon and Bone Tempering chapter, which had not made any breakthroughs for a long time, was broken through by him as if by chance. After carefully introspecting his own body, he found that the slightly stiff divine sense movement had become agile, and most importantly, his divine sense had increased significantly compared to before.

  It's true that the first stage of gong is to cultivate strength, and while building a foundation with strength, it also increases one's energy. The second stage of gong is to establish a foundation with the mind, using the power of the moon to transform the moon's essence into spiritual awareness, and then from spiritual awareness to transform into a foundation for the Tao. In this natural process, the moon's essence greatly promotes spiritual awareness, and further tempers it, making it strong and robust. From the first stage of gong, one can infer that after true success, spiritual awareness will also be greatly enhanced.
