Chapter 28: Zhuang Buran always keeps his word, but don't frame people randomly

Three days later.

On the East Sea, a green-robed youth was traveling by boat. He suddenly soared up and jumped into the sea, actually walking on the sea like a floating immortal.

Zhou Botong on the shore saw this and showed an envious look. After the green-robed youth came ashore, he couldn't help but say:

"How exactly did you practice this hard skill? It feels like the 'Golden Bell Shield' of the Buddhist sect that is almost complete."

"Now I can make the muscles and bones as hard as steel when firm, and as soft as cotton when soft, impervious to swords and spears, water and fire, the fist force is like wind and thunder, the movement technique is as light as a feather, and I can run on the waves without falling."

Zhuang Buran was wearing boots and socks:

"Half natural, half self-cultivated. Now the cover is only half an inch left. Afterward, I have to rely on the water-grinding effort to be complete."

He stood up and looked at Zhou Botong:

"Internal strength has reached the realm of transformation. I don't know if Wang Chongyang's 'Innate Skill' can break into the so-called Innate Realm?"

"It should be possible, otherwise how could Wang Brother become the number one in the world." Zhou Botong shook his head and thought for a while, saying:

"I have inquired about 'Innate Skill'. Besides having to practice with a virgin body, the starting point is to open the invisible and imageless aperture, which is the gateway from postnatal to innate, called the Mysterious Aperture."

"However, this skill has some drawbacks. Once the internal energy is used too much, or to heal others, one's own vitality will be greatly damaged, and the innate qi in our human body is born with us and cannot be supplemented. If the vitality is damaged, the innate qi is naturally damaged."

"Brother Wang didn't focus on practicing martial arts in his early years and was a righteous man who resisted Jin and saved the country. But there are no eyes on the battlefield. Even if he is a martial arts master, he cannot avoid being injured."

"It is inevitable that old injuries are not healed and new injuries are added, so it became a stubborn illness."

"And how can he see death and not save the heroes who resisted Jin with him? He must have used internal energy to heal them."

"Over a long period of time, he naturally consumed a lot of innate qi, thus damaging his lifespan."

"Once at the Mount Hua Sword Discussion, he fought Huang Laoxie and others for seven days and seven nights, and due to excessive fatigue, his old illness recurred, so he sat down before he was sixty."

After Zhou Botong finished speaking, his emotions became low.

"So, 'Innate Skill' really has a path for us to go to a higher level." Zhuang Buran summarized.

"Your talent is extraordinary, but it will take ten or twenty years to reach the realm of transformation, right? Why think so far ahead."

Zhou Botong's sadness came and went quickly, and he said carelessly:

"If you really reach this step, I will help you get the 'Innate Skill' then. I also want to see how much strength you have compared to Brother Wang in his prime."

"Good, it's a deal." Zhuang Buran's eyes condensed:

"Within three years, Zhuang will definitely go to Quanzhen to fulfill this appointment."

"Tsk tsk, heroic enough, actually thinking that you can reach the realm of transformation at the age of twenty or so."

Zhou Botong patted Zhuang Buran on the shoulder:

"Then Old Urchin will wait for you on Zhongnan Mountain in three years, and I will see if you can really be so vigorous."

After speaking, he seemed to have seen something, and three ships, one large and two small, appeared in his sight.

"It seems Huang Laoxie is back." Zhou Botong hurriedly opened his mouth:

"Brother Zhuang, wait a moment, don't take action first, watch how I clean him up."

"Not only the Eastern Heretic, the sea breeze blowing has a fishy smell. Most likely the Western Poison has also come." Zhuang Buran looked at the big ship breaking the waves.

"What, the old poison also came." Zhou Botong hurriedly hid behind the green-robed youth:

"Brother Zhuang, you don't know, I am most afraid of snakes in my life, but the old poison likes to release snakes to bite people the most. Wait a moment when I compete with Huang Laoxie, you must help me watch him."

"The Western Poison should be looking for Zhuang first."

"Why?"

"He has a descendant, ostensibly his nephew, but secretly his own son, the product of an illicit affair with his sister-in-law."

"There is such a thing?" Zhou Botong loves to hear fresh things from others and said:

"I remember now, you said earlier that 'Toad Technique' was obtained from the old poison's descendant. He came here this time, I suppose, to get back the field."

"Yes and no." Zhuang Buran said calmly:

"Not only to get back the field, but also to report the murder of his son."

"So that's it, I said why the old poison would come here with such great fanfare." Zhou Botong looked enlightened.

After a short time, two small boats docked first, and Huang Yaoshi was on one boat, and Hong Qigong and Guo and Huang were on the other.

"Old Urchin, I heard from Rong'er, aren't you locked in the cave? Why are you out?" Hong Qigong jumped ashore.

"If I couldn't beat Huang Laoxie, I wouldn't have come out of the cave. Now I think he is not my opponent, so why can't I come out of the cave." Zhou Botong put his hands on his hips and said proudly.

"Just based on you?" Huang Yaoshi jumped ashore:

"If you could really beat me, why would you be trapped on this island of mine for fifteen years."

Zhou Botong laughed:

"Hahaha, that's thanks to you when you were young, which made Old Urchin think through many things, and only then did I understand that none of you, old heretic, old beggar, old poison, are my opponents now."

Huang Yaoshi heard this, and a bad premonition arose in his heart, and he couldn't help but look at the green-robed youth.

"Even if I don't give him the lower volume of the 'Nine Yin Manual', just based on the upper volume he practiced, plus the skills he created, he can beat you crooked."

Zhuang Buran said nonchalantly:

"Now just push a little, so you can lose more cleanly."

He added a sentence at the end:

"So, don't thank me."

Huang Yaoshi heard it and felt indescribable, only feeling that the young self was too hateful, making people unable to stop the anger.

"Brother Zhuang's words are very reasonable."

Zhou Botong soared into the air, and immediately a playful sentence fell:

"Huang Laoxie, come and fight with me, see if I don't teach you a lesson today."

"Joke, if you lose today, you will break the agreement of not being able to leave the cave at will, and you will have to hand over the 'Nine Yin Manual'." Huang Yaoshi chased after him.

"Qigong, why did Old Urchin suddenly lead my father away?" Huang Rong just asked, and the big ship docked, and saw a large number of poisonous snakes emerging from the ship.

In an instant, a white-clothed man holding a snake staff jumped from the big ship to the shore. He saw this person was tall, with a high nose and deep eyes, brown-yellow beard, and heroic spirit, his eyes like knives and swords.

The atmosphere on the shore became tense and heavy. Afterward, the snake group swarmed toward the green-robed youth, but stopped within a zhang of him, as if fearing something.

"Western Poison Ouyang Feng?" Zhuang Buran's tone was light.

"Kid, are you the one who killed my nephew?" Ouyang Feng asked, but his tone was full of certainty.

"Nephew?"

Zhuang Buran looked puzzled:

"I should have a blood feud with you for killing your son. When did I add a debt of killing your nephew?"

He paused and laughed dumbly:

"Zhuang has always been daring to act, but don't frame people randomly."
