Chapter 54 Obtaining the Fa
This time, Bai Wangyun didn't stop Ding Yi; instead, he smiled with narrowed eyes.
"Xiao Qi, everyone has secrets. Don't worry, as long as your teacher is here, no one can do anything to you."
As Bai Wangyun spoke, he tapped his fingers on the table.
Ding Yi followed Bai Wangyun's finger and immediately saw the steaming teacup. He understood immediately, quickly picked up the teacup, knelt down, and held the teacup above his head.
Bai Wangyun then took the teacup, took a small sip, and gestured for Ding Yi to stand up and speak.
"Since you have accepted me as your master, a gift is necessary. I observe that your vital energy is abundant and your eyes are bright. It seems that you are not a greedy person. Otherwise, if you were immersed in the Yin-Yang Sha, you would not have been able to break through this barrier."
"After skin resurfacing comes bone forging. I also have the bone forging method here. Come with me."
As Bai Wangyun spoke, he led Ding Yi to the side room behind the courtyard.
"Wait for me."
Bai Wangyun then asked Ding Yi to wait in the hall for a while, while he went into the side room.
When Bai Wangyun came out, he was holding a book in one hand and a small bottle in the other.
"Take this. This book is my Bai family's Bone Forging Method, and this bottle contains Qi and Blood Pills."
As Bai Wangyun spoke, he handed the two items to Ding Yi.
Ding Yi took the item and examined it closely. He noticed that the cover of the book was titled "Bai Style Bone Forging Method." A thought struck him: Could this bone forging method be related to Bai Family Boxing?
Sure enough, Bai Wangyun then said:
"This bone-forging method and the skin-refining method are originally one set. You shall write it down here today, and you must not take it out, much less write any offshoots!"
"Of course I know."
Upon seeing this, Bai Wangyun immediately nodded, and then said:
"The Qi and Blood Pill requires that one not be exposed to Yin or Yang evil influences for the first half month after taking it, otherwise the Qi and Blood will be damaged, the root will be weakened, and then one can forget about breaking through the bone barrier!"
"The disciple understands."
Ding Yi quickly replied.
"Hmm, have you encountered any problems after practicing for so long?"
Bai Wangyun suddenly asked again.
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi stood still and fell silent.
There are certainly questions, quite a few, but the most intriguing thing is naturally the worship of gods.
"Master, I don't think worshipping the gods is a good thing. Why is it making Da Liang feel so suffocated?"
After a long silence, Ding Yi finally spoke and asked.
"Ha, quite the boast, looks like you've encountered some religious practices before?"
Bai Wangyun chuckled, then shook his head and said:
"What's terrifying about the gods isn't their strength, but their numbers and the speed at which they cultivate."
"More importantly, martial artists can worship gods at any time. Once they obtain a high-level idol, they can use it to break through insurmountable barriers and thus greatly extend their lifespan. Do you understand how tempting this is for a martial artist who is nearing the end of his life?"
"Back then, Jin Wuhuan, the Martial God of Zhongzhou, suppressed an entire generation and became the leader of the immortals. He drove the barbarians north of Minshan back 100,000 li, laying the foundation for the Great Liang."
"Unfortunately, only three years after the calamity struck, ten Lu Xian were born within the territory of the Great Liang by the divine statue!!"
"Do you know what this means? These Lu Xian (immortals) were all old guys who had no hope of becoming immortals their whole lives and were just waiting to die. But now, because of the arrival of a calamity star, they have stepped into the Lu Xian realm in one step and become young again!"
"More importantly, after worshipping the gods, their personalities changed drastically. In the end, Jin Wuhuan was surrounded and killed by these worshipping immortals on Phoenix Cry Mountain. It's a pity that this martial god of the Great Liang ended up like this!"
Bai Wangyun looked dejected as he spoke, as if he had thought of something.
"Um, Master, what realm is this Lu Xian?"
Seeing that Bai Wangyun's expression was not good, Ding Yi cautiously asked.
Sure enough, Bai Wangyun frowned immediately upon hearing this.
"That's naturally the appearance of an immortal. You've only just broken through the skin barrier; it's a bit too ambitious of you to be eager to understand these things!"
"Now that the skin barrier has been broken, you don't need to come to the morning class anymore. Remember the bone-forging method and get back to practice it right away!"
Bai Wangyun glared at Ding Yi, then strolled away, clearly heading to the front yard to talk to Cui Wancheng.
Ding Yi glanced at Bai Wangyun's retreating figure and couldn't help but purse his lips.
"Lu Xian is nothing. Give me enough lifespan, and I can even create a Heavenly Immortal cultivation technique."
Ding Yi grumbled to himself, then sat down at the stone table in the courtyard, opened the book, and began to memorize.
It's said that he should memorize it, but in reality, Ding Yi only needs to memorize the general idea and copy it down on a piece of paper when he gets back. It doesn't need to be too consistent, since they are all the same in the face of reinforcement.
Just half an hour later, Ding Yi had memorized the booklet in its entirety and was about to return immediately to write down its contents while he still had the memory.
When Ding Yi walked through the corridor to the front yard, he suddenly found that everyone's eyes were on him and staring intently at him.
Surprise, jealousy, shock, anger—Ding Yi saw so many emotions in their eyes, which made him wonder what these people had just experienced.
Just then, Cui Wancheng called out to Ding Yi.
"Seventh Junior Brother!"
Upon hearing this unfamiliar address, Ding Yi raised an eyebrow. Even the way Cui Wancheng addressed him had changed.
"Senior Brother Cui."
Ding Yi quickly cupped his hands in greeting.
"From now on, you can call me Sixth Senior Brother."
Cui Wancheng walked towards Ding Yi with a smile on his face.
"My master told me that you don't need to come during the day anymore. You need to be careful at the Patrol Division; it's not an easy place."
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi quickly replied:
"Thank you for the reminder, Sixth Senior Brother."
"Ah."
After Cui Wancheng finished speaking, he patted Ding Yi on the shoulder again before returning to the courtyard and watching the others cultivate.
Ding Yi looked at the people in the courtyard and found that they were all staring at him, and many of them were moving their lips slightly, as if they wanted to say something.
But in the end, no one spoke. Seeing this, Ding Yi did not stop, but stepped out of the courtyard and walked out of the martial arts school.
Ding Yi returned early today and made a point of eating a bowl of hot noodle soup on the way.
The soup made with thin noodles mixed with dough pieces suited Ding Yi's taste quite well, and since it was cheap, there were quite a few people sitting at the stall eating it.
"Hey, has the Black Dragon Gang gone crazy lately? It hasn't been that long since they last collected protection money!"
One of the diners sat there and shook his head.
"Yes, if this continues, how will we do business in the future!"
The other person shook his head in dissatisfaction.
"Black Dragon Gang?"
Upon hearing this word, Ding Yi immediately pictured Ma San in his mind.
According to Xue Bao, Ma San's father was the deputy leader of the Black Dragon Gang, but this was the first time he had heard of the Black Dragon Gang from the residents of the outer city.
"Let me tell you, the Black Dragon Gang has been recruiting heavily and charging extra protection fees lately, all to pay their dues!"
One of the diners suddenly said.
"Recruiting again? Does that mean we're going to have another fight with other gangs?"
someone asked.
"I don't know about that, but the Black Dragon Gang is the only dominant force in the outer city. I haven't heard of any other gangs rising up recently."
Everyone else shook their heads.
"Sigh, at this rate, I don't know if we'll be able to scrape together the money for Yin Yang Sha in the future."
"In this world, it's not so bad to die in a dream."
Ding Yi listened to the discussion but didn't interrupt. He simply finished his noodles in silence, tossed a few copper coins on the table, and left the stall.
