Chapter 39: Leiting's Heavy Gift

  The scorching sun was still hanging high in the sky, and the outside weather could be hot enough to kill people, but inside the spacious and bright VIP lounge, it was cool and breezy. The high-powered central air conditioning played its role, making the entire Qingniao Building a cool place. The equipment in the room was very simple, with only thirty or so iron stakes arranged in a plum blossom shape, despite the large space.

  Although this city is not as good as the deep mountains and old forests of Daxing'anling, it has green trees, clear streams, and a temperature that is absorbed by the asphalt roads outside and released again, even at night, it's like a furnace, hot and stuffy. But after all, humans are smart and invented air conditioning, which while emitting a lot of carbon dioxide, also makes the indoor and outdoor temperatures as different as heaven and earth.

  In the scorching summer, it's like a contrast between heaven and hell.

  In one corner of the room, Zhou Yahang was squatting in a horse stance, his four limbs spread wide apart. He had been holding this position for quite some time now, and his rapid breathing sounded like an old accordion, wheezing loudly, the sound carrying far away.

  Ever since she saw Wang Chan defeat Wu Jie with a basic long fist two days ago, Zhou Yahang has been practicing martial arts with Wang Chan every day. However, at her age, her bones have already set, making it much harder for her to start training again. Fortunately, she hasn't wasted the past few years, as she had also stretched and trained her muscles while practicing Kyokushin karate. Her foundation is not bad either, but even so, two hours of horse stance practice twice a day has left her complaining bitterly.

  However, this girl has a natural strong willpower. Once she sets a goal for herself, she won't waver easily. So even though she's been feeling sore all over her body these past two nights, she hasn't had any thoughts of giving up. This has surprised and secretly impressed Wang Chan.

  At this time, Lei Ting was also sitting in the rest area of the room, wearing a pair of plain glasses and that loose black summer suit, with her hair tied up with a silver pin, making her neck look even whiter and more slender, with curves so beautiful that any man who saw her would be stunned.

  Lei Ting's outfit has a natural and effortless elegance, with a hint of detachment. She leans lazily against the back of the chair, exuding a sense of Zen, but her expression is cold and stern, like a block of ice. It makes people feel like they've been doused with a bucket of cold water on their neck, leaving no room for warmth or approachability.

  Watching Zhou Yahuan standing steadily in a horse stance over there, Wang Chan was holding more than ten thread-bound ancient books in his hands, reluctant to let go, with a joyful expression on his face.

  "Wudang Taiji San Shou? Jin Chan Sect's secretly transmitted Golden Toad Qi? Siming Songxi Neijia Quan Jing? One hundred and seventy-three hand Yang-style San Shou? Longmen Sect's Pure Yang Tongzi Gong? Emei Tian Gang Zhi Xue Shou and Baiyun Chan Shi's Linji Qi Zhuang Gong True Manual? Do you know these things, in the past were a family or sect's secret, not to be revealed martial arts classics, if just one copy was leaked out, it would immediately attract countless people's envy!"

  As he flipped through the books that Leiting had brought him, Wang Zhan's gaze towards her changed color. Although he had heard this woman say before that she had many precious martial arts classics in her hands, Wang Zhan never thought that these things would be so precious. There were seven books in total, and they were all true kung fu secret transmissions from various schools, absolute internal fist classics. Especially the one from the Golden Toad School's secret transmission, "The Great Toad's Breath", was actually a handwritten manuscript by Gan Fengchi, who was known as the great hero of Jiangnan during the Qing dynasty.

  Gan Fengchi, a native of Nanjing, lived an unknown number of years. He was short and small in stature, with a sharp jawline and whiskers like a spear. He was one of the most legendary martial arts masters of the Qing dynasty's Yongzheng era. Throughout his life, he practiced both internal and external martial arts, studying under Huang Baijia, the son of Huang Zongxi, to learn the Neijiaquan (Internal Family Fist) method of the Siming Song Creek School. He was well-versed in many superior martial arts techniques. After mastering his skills, he bravely challenged the Shaolin Temple on Mount Song, and although he was defeated each time, he became more courageous with each failure. With each challenge, he absorbed the lessons of his predecessors, combining Neijiaquan with Shaolin Quan to create six distinct fist methods: Chong Shaolin (Rushing Shaolin), Ti Luohan Shaolin (Iron Arhat Shaolin), Wen Shaolin (Cultivated Shaolin), Ao Bu Shaolin (Twisting Step Shaolin), Wu Shaolin (Martial Shaolin), and Shen Hua Shaolin (Divine Transformation Shaolin).

  Since then, Neijiaquan has been widely spread, and this person can be said to have made great contributions.

  " 'Pure Yang Child Skill' I heard that this thing should be the Dragon Gate Sect Wudang Pure Yang Gate, single-handedly passed down orally, the supreme secret technique. How do you also have this skill? It seems like it's not of much use to you!" Wang Chan continued to flip through the precious martial arts manual in his hand, still somewhat hard to believe at first.

  Although modern society has rapid information flow, on the market and online, almost all versions of martial arts books can be found, but those things are either pre-cut versions or intentionally released as pranks. Looking at them can only satisfy curiosity, if you practice according to what's written, it's impossible to succeed in a lifetime.

  Especially for internal Qigong exercises like "Da Chan Qi", the practice is to cultivate a mouthful of original energy inside the body, and the key lies in the fire phase. If there is no true reference or guidance from a master, it will definitely go "off track" when practiced to a certain extent, which is commonly referred to as "going into madness". The "Da Chan Qi" that Wang Zhen originally practiced was also a Qigong exercise of the Wudang Jin Chan sect, but with an additional step of "absorbing the moon cave to supplement true yin", which can balance yin and yang, and cultivate internally and externally. Those who do not receive the true transmission will have no way to practice it.

  Wang Chan flipped through the manuscript of Gan Fengchi's handwritten "Great Toad Qi", which was full of dense, tiny characters. Every sentence had detailed annotations and diagrams, explaining it in a way that was both profound and easy to understand. Just by glancing at a few pages, Wang Chan could tell that this thing was definitely real.

  It is said that those who are not human and live long enough without dying can give birth to spiritual intelligence, understand the way of self-cultivation, and every full moon day they must run to the highest mountain top to absorb the essence of the moon. After a long time, the inner gallbladder in the belly can become a spirit and make strange things happen, ride the wind and rise to the clouds, and transform into a monster. It can be seen that this kind of toad energy cultivation is purely evolved from the Taoist Daoyin technique, and internal fist and Taoism are inseparable.

  "These were all from back in the day, sorted out from Daoist temples and monasteries across the country during the 'Four Olds' campaign, stored away in warehouses, with many already rotten. I was interested in these things even as a child, so I found someone to pick out the ones that were still intact and would often flip through them. Now, quite a few have been donated to the Daoist Association, and only a handful are left in my hands."

  "Although these secret recipe manuscripts are undoubtedly authentic, because they lack the guidance of famous masters, there are many places that I don't understand either. And I'm not willing to take them out and let others benefit from them for nothing. So over the years, I've been guarding this treasure mountain alone, but haven't gained much benefit from it. Today, I brought it out to show you, hoping you can give me a more complete explanation! It's also mutually beneficial between us!"

  Lei Ting said sincerely, most of these secret recipe manuscripts were written in profound and abstruse terms. If one's own martial arts cultivation had not reached the level of a grandmaster, even if they got their hands on them, it would be of little use. However, falling into the hands of Wang Chan, a master with deep skills, was extraordinary in significance and effect.

  "These things are extremely rare, I have always been clear in my actions, but with a little understanding, I will tell you the truth, and never hide it. Moreover, I see that your martial arts skills come from Wudang, and your fire is not shallow, only because of your daily practice of breathing and practicing internal energy, unknowingly injuring your lung meridian, which makes your skin as white as frost, increasing your coldness. If you trust me, I will give you a secret prescription, go according to the law to take medicine, take three doses a day, see results in seven days, and eliminate it completely in a month."

  Wang Zhenchou lived in the mountains, everything had to rely on himself. He not only practiced qigong and nourished his life but also often collected herbs to prepare medicine for practicing qigong. Naturally, he was well-versed in medical theory. Moreover, someone who has practiced boxing and martial arts to this level can already integrate internal and external forces, with their vital energy as one. Their understanding of the human body's structure is even superior to that of many famous doctors in large hospitals.

  So, Wang Chan had long seen that Lei Ting's face was cold and solemn, not because she was born that way, but mostly because of her later practice of martial arts, which injured the Taiyin lung meridian. As a woman belongs to Yin, adding more Yin on top of Yin, it would naturally be reflected in her skin, muscles and bones, giving people an unfriendly, cold and icy feeling.

  Now he has received such a great benefit from Leiting, with his personality, of course, he will not suffer in vain. He feels that even if he explains everything he understands to Leiting, it is still not enough. So he takes out a secret recipe for physical conditioning and tells him straightforwardly, as a return gift to the other party.

  After finishing speaking, Wang Chan didn't wait for Lei Ting to respond and took out the handwritten copy of Gan Fengchi's "Big Toad Qi Secret Method" and began to carefully examine it. When Lei Ting heard what Wang Chan said, his face also showed a few points of excitement, but seeing that Wang Chan had already devoted himself wholeheartedly to studying the secret method, he swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue. He casually picked up a cup of iced sour plum juice from the table and took a small sip.

  The Big Turtle Breathing is a kind of internal breathing exercise in the human body, which exercises the five organs and six viscera. After carefully reading the practice method in Wang Zhen's book three times, he stood still on the spot, relaxed and calm, breathed in and out according to the method in the book, merged his mind and spirit, and concentrated his energy inwardly. Every time he breathed, it was like a turtle swallowing and spitting out air, with his cheeks and abdominal muscles undulating non-stop.

  Wang Chan only felt that the breath in his body was like a thin, invisible thread that had been mobilized, and as he breathed deeper and longer, his five organs and six viscera moved up and down with his breathing. It seemed as if there were several threads of breath circulating rapidly along certain routes between his skin, hair, tendons, and bones, and the blood in his body was also boiling with heat.

  Although this feeling is not as intense as when I was practicing the Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Cultivation, it has its advantages in that it is continuous and unending, with a long-lasting aftereffect, and directly affects the internal body, strengthening the Qi mechanism. It can complement my own Horizontal Cultivation method, both internally and externally.
