Chapter 29: Rewards Obtained Once Again

Nine-tenths of the world's internal energy heart techniques focus on cultivating the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, while the Twelve Regular Meridians involve the human viscera; as foundational heart techniques, connecting the Twelve Regular Meridians through the Eight Extraordinary Meridians requires utmost caution.

The more Regular Meridians a heart technique connects, the greater the enhancement to the human body and the deeper the foundation; a foundational heart technique like the Bibo Heart Technique, which connects four Regular Meridians and has three hidden meridians, counts as a top-tier one.

In the entire Jin Daxia Wuxia World, only the Quanquan Sect Heart Technique, the Shaolin Temple Basic Internal Skill, and the Wudang Heart Technique continuously improved by Zhang Sanfeng in later generations can surpass the Bibo Heart Technique and be called top-tier.

Relying on his five senses and the Bamboo Slips' bold modifications, Wu Chengyu has now integrated six of the Twelve Regular Meridians; as long as he cultivates step by step, the remaining four meridians' circulation paths will also gradually perfect, and according to Wu Chengyu's guesswork, the advanced version of the Bibo Heart Technique will then be in no way inferior to the Quanquan Heart Technique.

As for the remaining Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian and Foot Jueyin Liver Meridian, the Bamboo Slips show extremely large defects; with Wu Chengyu's current martial arts accumulation, he fundamentally does not know how to improve them. He has tried bold hypotheses, opening new paths in the two meridians according to his own conception, but immediately had a premonition of great calamity, and in the end had no choice but to give up.

Besides inheriting the Bibo Heart Technique's advantages and making internal force even more condensed, what Wu Chengyu cares about most is the elementary Refining Essence into Qi shown by the Bamboo Slips.

Refining Essence into Qi is the foundational realm of Taoist School cultivation, transforming post-natal essence into internal qi to supplement oneself; besides cultivating internal force, one can also continuously improve physical constitution by absorbing nutrients from food and spiritual medicines, gradually achieving the effect of immunity from all diseases and prolonging life.

This also means that once the ten Regular Meridians are fully connected, the Bibo Heart Technique, originally focused on the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, will gradually evolve into one that values the Eight Extraordinary Meridians and Twelve Regular Meridians equally, or even has the Twelve Regular Meridians govern the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, becoming a pseudo-Taoist technique more focused on health preservation and enhancing bodily functions.

But the greatest characteristic and weakness of this kind of heart technique is that it is broad and comprehensive; although its coverage is wide, it has no special circulation paths or output methods, and apart from the original characteristic of being vigorous and versatile, it has no special power — this is also why the Bamboo Slips still emphasize it is a basic internal skill.

Without more techniques as reference, Wu Chengyu's modifications can only stop here.

But Wu Chengyu is still fully satisfied; a top-tier foundational heart technique being able to solidify his own foundation is already enough, moreover this is merely his current limit, far from the technique's limit.

After the elementary Refining Essence into Qi reached Great Accomplishment, his appetite greatly increased, absorption and digestion became fast, and he clearly felt his physical condition improving day by day, his essence, qi, and spirit abundant, and even the healing speed of his leg injury accelerated somewhat.

"Let's call it the Bilang Heart Technique, after all it comes from the Bibo Heart Technique, and it was entirely my bold waving into existence." When naming it, Wu Chengyu completely forgot this name is more suited for removing dirt and oil stains.

In the following days, besides continuing to perfect his cultivation technique, Wu Chengyu went out every day to tell stories, experiencing the customs and sentiments of this era, listening to martial world gossip, or finding ways to feed A Ku; occasionally a whim struck, and he used the Bamboo Slips' manual function to fiddle with new skills — failures were the majority, but he also managed to produce a few interesting things.

Two months quickly passed; the Bilang Heart Technique had already perfected ten Regular Meridians, and every day he could feel his internal force growing ever more profound, and his physical condition continuously improving; occasionally at night he would feel knee pain, a bit like the feeling when he reached puberty in those years and his body began to shoot up, and his leg finally recovered completely, leaping and moving freely.

By June, the sky was clear as if washed, the sunlight warm and bright; Wu Chengyu practiced a set of Yan Qing Fist and Bibo Palm Technique in the small courtyard, and focused on practicing the Jade Ring Step Mandarin Duck Footwork of Yan Qing Fist — it is said this was Wu Song's unique skill, absorbed by Yan Qing into Yan Qing Fist.

He practiced for half an hour in one breath before stopping, letting out a long breath, drenched in sweat; A Ku at his side was clapping and cheering, and only at this moment did Wu Chengyu finally confirm his left leg was thoroughly healed — after repeated exertion there was absolutely no pain or feeling of being unable to exert force.

The Black Jade Bone-Healing Ointment truly lives up to being a bone injury saint medicine; my golden finger dad is really filial to me, a conscience medicine — don't look at Jin Daxia's ads, look at the curative effect.

Just when Wu Chengyu was most complacent, wanting to flip a few somersaults, the Bamboo Slips gave him another icing on the cake.

The original handwriting on the Bamboo Slips gathered away, and first a sentence appeared.

Wu Mianfeng's youthful broken-leg grievance, Wu Chengyu's lifelong disability hatred, in one morning all gone, this knot of unresolvable regret is gone.

After this sentence appeared, two more sections of text appeared below, namely two kinds of rewards for Wu Chengyu.

Wu Chengyu did not rush to look at the rewards, gazing thoughtfully at this sentence; it is obvious that this unresolvable regret contains the grievances of both Wu Mianfeng and Wu Chengyu, which is why there are two kinds of rewards.

Wu Chengyu broke his leg the moment he transmigrated; having resentment is inevitable.

Wu Mianfeng had his leg broken and was expelled from Peach Blossom Island; naturally there was hatred in his heart, but Wu Mianfeng is already dead — even if his emotions still influence Wu Chengyu, after his left leg recovered, Wu Mianfeng's grievance was still counted within the rewards.

Could it be that Wu Mianfeng is actually not dead, his soul still inside the body, only not discovered by Wu Chengyu?

This possibility is very large, but Wu Chengyu has no way to confirm it, nor knows how to respond; The Legend of the Condor Heroes is after all a normal martial world, barely counting as mid-level martial arts — there is no heaven-shattering method to probe a person's spiritual world, nor any supernatural ghosts and spirits.

So this guesswork can only be shelved for now; another possibility is that Wu Mianfeng's grievances are all counted on Wu Chengyu's head — the anger of the broken leg, the sorrow of his parents' passing, the resentment of Feng Heng dying from exhausted heart-blood and dystocia — are all Wu Mianfeng's unresolvable regrets, so resolving these unresolvable regrets, Wu Chengyu can likewise obtain the Bamboo Slips' rewards.

But what can Wu Chengyu do? It is certain that if he goes now to violently beat Huang Yaoshi, Wu Mianfeng's resentment would certainly ease somewhat, but can Wu Chengyu do it?

Since he cannot, then decisively give up; anyway the Bamboo Slips have no punishment of erasure for not accepting a mission, Wu Chengyu can let go, and can also lie low.

Wu Chengyu shook his head; one must know contentment in life, one matter yielding two rewards is already not bad, and the first reward obtained the Black Jade Bone-Healing Ointment, relying on the reward he cured his leg, immediately followed by another reward because of it — this nesting doll mode, Wu Chengyu is extremely satisfied, simply free giveaways.

As for this time's two rewards, the first one is actually a cultivation technique — this is the proper face a golden finger should have.

The rewarded techniques are two: Ox-Horse Stance and Turtle-Grandson Method.

"What the f*ck kind of broken names are these? Bamboo Slips, do you think you're funny?" Wu Chengyu cursed the Bamboo Slips in anger; unfortunately the Bamboo Slips have no communication function, occasionally improper, yet letting Wu Chengyu mock and sneer without talking back, always giving Wu Chengyu the weightless feeling of a fist hitting cotton.

Ox-Horse Stance? In his previous life Wu Chengyu muddled up to middle management in a state-owned enterprise, absolutely refusing to admit he is an ox-horse, but the Bamboo Slips clearly saw through his hypocrisy.

Turtle-Grandson Method? Thank you for not naming it King-Eight Method, but Wu Chengyu has acted the grandson in the workplace, why must you bring a turtle character into it.

This reward is a bit foul.

Thank you Zhongyouyoushijiandale for the reward.

The novel has been released for less than 30 chapters; currently the performance looks much better than the previous book at the same stage, and it has also made the new book category ranking list — a bit overwhelmed by favor.

Today just thanking people took half a day; could it be that the wish I made in my previous book, that if voter numbers are many I wouldn't have to thank them one by one in the author's notes, after writing over a million words in the previous book that wish never came true, now there is hope.

Bow, salute.

Wish all the best.
