Chapter Thirty-Three: Give Me Chicken Ass

  After eating the roasted rabbit, Chen Xiao felt very refreshed. Since it was not yet completely dark, he decided to continue reading "The Sunflower Manual" carefully.

  I had previously read the first part of "The Legend of the Condor Hero" and now I started reading from the back, only to see that it was written on top ——

  "The second heavy step of the Sunflower Divine Art."

  "Triple Energizer Meridian of Hand Shaoyang."

  "Main article: Internal Force Impact This meridian has twenty-three acupoints on each side, broadening the meridian and storing internal force within."

  "Diagram of Acupoints on the Hand Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian——"

  Here is the translation:

  Below is another full-body image of a naked man, with all the acupoints of the Hand Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian clearly marked on his arm. These include Guanchong, Ye Men, Zhongshui, Yangchi from the palm to the elbow, Naohui, Jianyu, Erjian and Zanzhu up to the head, totaling 23 major acupoints.

  The second heavy training method of this initial stage is roughly the same as the first one, still forcing all the internal energy in the lower abdomen into the starting point of the head's Sī Zhú Kōng Dà hole, impacting one big hole after another.

  Then there is a diagram with red lines indicating the step-by-step route of the exercise, and the last step is exactly on the Guanchong acupoint on the ring finger.

  Upon seeing this, Chen Xiao muttered to himself: "This 'Sunflower Treasure Classic' is most famous for its rapid results and quick display of power. However, if one were to force all their internal energy into a single large cavity, practicing it one by one like this seems somewhat abnormal."

  It is said that the original "Evil-Repelling Sword Technique" originated from this "Chrysanthemum Treasure Manual". However, the cultivation speed of this technique is extremely fast, and after successful cultivation, its power is almost on par with others. The internal energy difference between Yue Buqun and Lin Pingzhi was at least a hundredfold, yet their final strength was almost identical.

  This is obviously abnormal.

  Thinking of this, Chen Xiao thought: "Could it be that this inner strength doesn't necessarily have to be forced into one big hole? But just filling it up is enough?" As soon as he thought of this, his mind was suddenly enlightened.

  Yue Buqun's inner strength was profound, and it was likely that he could fill up a meridian with just one-tenth or even one-hundredth of his inner strength. This way, his cultivation would naturally progress extremely quickly.

  But Lin Ping's internal energy was far inferior to Yue Buqun's, and it was possible that his entire body's internal energy could only fill one acupoint. However, regardless of the depth of internal energy, the amount of internal energy that this acupoint could hold was not much different. In other words, at most, Lin Ping's cultivation of the "Evil-Expelling Sword Spectrum" differed from Yue Buqun's by a larger margin in the world. But once they succeeded in their cultivation, their powers would not be much different.

  Having analyzed this far, Chen Xiao finally felt enlightened.

  It seems that this "Kuihua Treasure" is indeed the fastest cultivation method in history, and the Kuihua Divine Art's requirement for internal energy can be said to have already reached a certain degree of smallness.

  After flipping through it for a while, Chen Xiao finally grasped the general principle of the exercise and slowly closed the book, falling asleep on the ground.

  For several days, Kumārajīva and Chen Xie went east without stopping.

  Chen Xiao eats roasted meat at least once or twice a day, either wild rabbit or mountain fox, and sometimes Ji Mosheng simply catches two flying birds for Chen Xiao to roast.

  Now the two have almost reached a tacit understanding, Chen Xiao takes things to grill and eat by himself, after finishing eating he goes to flip through the Chrysanthemum Treasure Book. In just a few days, he has already flipped through the entire first half of the Chrysanthemum Treasure Book.

  After Zishou San Yang Jing, it is Zu San Yang Jing. The method is generally the same, accumulating internal strength one acupoint at a time.

  The practice method of this Kuihua Baodian is neither difficult nor simple. If it were an ordinary person, just remembering the names and positions of all the acupoints on the human body would take a long time.

  As a Chinese medicine acupuncture professional, Chen Xiao had long memorized the acupoints, without any discrepancies. Now, it was simply a matter of recording the cultivation method, which came easily and effortlessly to him.

  Jiumo Zhi then coldly observed from the side, and would no longer speak with Chen Xiao.

  It's probably because of the huge blow he received, and now he's afraid of going back for more humiliation.

  After walking for another two days, Chen Xiao felt that his direction had changed to northeast, still avoiding the main road and taking a detour through the desolate mountains and ridges. The terrain was getting flatter and flatter, with fewer mountains and more water, and he often had to cross rivers several times a day.

  That day, on the way through a small town, Qumo Zhi slapped Chen Xiao unconscious with one palm and hid him in a tree hole, carefully covering it with stones. Then he left alone.

  After about half a short period of time, Zhūmózhì turned back, but his hands had several more things.

  Brush, ink, paper and inkstone.

  After removing the large stone that concealed him, Kumārajīva took Chen Xie out of the tree hole and said warmly: "Young Master Shi, I have troubled you by coming from afar. Please forgive me for any offense."

  Chen Xiao rubbed his eyes dazedly, and his snot was flowing down. He said, "Okay, okay. What era is this now? I'm a bit hungry, want to eat something."

  Jiumozi said: "This is naturally easy to say. However, the young donor has seen that I have already taken the thing, what is the intention? The young donor must know it naturally."

  "Of course, I know. How could I not? But anyway, I'm stuck here, so let's eat first? When people are hungry, their memory isn't good, and if I write something wrong later on, you can't blame me."

  Jiumozhi stared at Chen Xiao's eyes for a while, trying to see if he was telling lies or really intended to write down the sword scripture of Liu Mai Shen Jian. In the end, nothing came out, and only heard Chen Xiao's stomach making a "gurgling" sound. Finally, he could only say helplessly: "Then let the little master wait for a moment."

  He spoke and then went off to catch rabbits and wild chickens with Chen Xiao's double leg hole move.

  Chen Xiao sat on the ground, but his mind was always thinking about how to escape.

  He had thought of it before, but unfortunately, the double-legged hole was always given to Jiumozhi. Even if he used his feet to run, he might not be able to outrun Jiumozhi, let alone that his legs couldn't move?

  So I'm too lazy to run and can only think of other ways.

  Ji Zhi was very cautious in his actions, and when he went to catch wild rabbits or mountain chickens, he would never leave Chen Xiao's side more than a hundred meters away, always keeping him in sight.

  It's not like Chen Xiao had a way out either, even in the original work, Duan Yu was caught without any means of escape.

  For now, I can only take it one step at a time and pretend to cooperate.

  After a while, Zhumozi had caught a wild chicken and handed it over to Chen Xiao.

  Chen Xiao still used the old trick, which was to deliberately make the roasted chicken smell so good that it could be smelled from far away, making Ji Moshen retreat far away.

  "This time it's roasted to perfection, just right for the entrance, but suddenly a loud and clear voice rang out: 'What a delicious roast chicken! Tear off a leg for me to taste, and by the way, give me the chicken butt too.'"
