Chapter 87 Killing the Eagle

In Jinshiyuan, Yang Luchan's classical and elegant courtyard, there is a picture of a white monkey hanging on the wall of the house. It squats on a pine tree with its hands folded in its pockets, looking up at the sun in the sky.

Under the ancient painting, Yang Lu was sitting in a throne, Chen Ku was standing opposite him, and Yang Shaoqi was standing beside him.

In the transmission of power.

"The Five Animals Great Strength Skill of our Medicine King Hall imitates five kinds of exotic beasts, and thus derived five unique skills. However, after the internal energy, they are all cultivated in a unified internal skill, called "The Book of Eternal Youth". It can be combined with any unique skill to allow people to cultivate to the fifth realm of strength."

Yang Luchan said slowly and leisurely:
"This internal skill can be said to be the foundation of our Medicine King Hall's martial arts. As the name suggests, Medicine King Hall made its fortune from medicine, and medicine and martial arts are inseparable. The most important thing is health preservation. Therefore, if you can successfully practice this "Immortal Eternal Spring Classic" to the internal strength realm, you will be able to break the human lifespan limit of 130 and live to 180 years old."

"One hundred and eighty years old!"

This was the first time that Chen Ku heard that practicing martial arts could increase one's lifespan. After all, he had been in Baojiao County for nearly half a year. He knew very well that even if one was an internal energy master, or even one who was several levels above internal energy, the lifespan would still be that of a normal person.

We are just constantly exploring the potential of the human body, but lifespan is the foundation and deadline set for the human body.

Unless, you can cross the levels of life.

Now, I finally heard the most solid stuff.

One hundred and eighty years is enough to live for nearly the entire Eastern Han Dynasty in the past life...

The charm of longevity!

Suddenly, under these conditions, Chen Ku felt that nothing was as exciting as his 180 years of life.

Didn't you hear that even when Monkey King was faced with all kinds of magic, what he wanted most was "Can I get immortality?"

"Master, you are now in the fifth realm of strength. Doesn't that mean that you are now in your prime?"

Chen Ku asked.

Master Yang’s age is no secret in Yaowang Hall. He is a hundred years old this year, almost the same age as Zhang Sanfeng of Wudang. But when you think about the fact that he can still live for another eighty years, even if he is just a warrior, not an immortal, in his own world, he is like an immortal.

"more or less."

Yang Luchan stroked his beard and said:
"When a warrior reaches the fourth stage of opening meridians, his heartbeat can be as slow as a turtle. At the same time, he can repair all hidden injuries in his body and live to the theoretical lifespan of 130 years. Because our Eternal Spring Classic focuses more on health preservation, at the fifth stage, one can live longer than other martial arts. Now, I will teach you the 'Internal Qi Chapter' of the Eternal Spring Classic. Listen carefully. There are a total of 1,201 words."

Chen Ku nodded, pretending to listen carefully.

Then he listened to Yang Luchan reciting the formula word by word:

“Blood is the mother of Qi, Qi is the leader of blood…Blood can generate Qi, Qi can circulate blood…The so-called internal Qi is the Qi in the blood…”

"Humans eat the essence of water and grain, the essence of medicine and meat, which is stored in the body and transformed into blood and nourishes the bones..."

“Blood and Qi are one, when blood is abundant, Qi is abundant, when blood is deficient, Qi is exhausted…”

"The moves are combined with the strength, the strength is combined with the intention, the intention is combined with the Qi, and when the three are connected, the internal Qi is born."

"This formula of the Immortal Changchun Classic has 1,201 words in total. It is designed to teach disciples how to use martial arts to move blood throughout the body and then generate internal energy. When blood moves, energy is generated."

"Starting from the feeling of Qi, there are four small stages in the internal Qi realm: feeling Qi, sufficient Qi, strong Qi, and full Qi."

"Once the Qi fills the whole body, you can then attack the threshold of life and death..."

After Yang Luchan finished reciting, he handed Chen Ku a few pieces of paper with the formula written on them and said, "After you have finished reciting them, burn them. This is a method of moving blood and essence and generating internal energy. It is a secret of the sect and must not be lost or passed on to others."

Chen Ku put it away carefully.

Then, Yang Luchan gave him three more fundamental diagrams and said:
"Including the first move that Shang the Dwarf asked for you, these are the 2nd, 3rd and 4th moves of the Violent Ape's Thousand-pound Staff, namely 'Two Staffs Split the Mountain', 'Three Staffs Cut the River' and 'Four Staffs Set the Fields on Fire'... Each move has its own artistic conception. Only when you can bring out the artistic conception can you be considered a master."

Chen Ku kept it in mind.

"You can practice with your senior brother in the yard first."

Then, Chen Ku and Yang Shaoqi started to discuss with each other in the courtyard.

At the beginning, Chen Ku could still rely on his great strength to counter his senior brother's moves, and the fight was back and forth regardless of life or death. But as time passed, because Yang Shaoqi had reached the late stage of internal energy, his internal energy was full and strong, and even after half an hour, he remained calm.

However, Chen Ku had no internal energy to sustain himself, and could hardly hold on relying on his own strength.

But Yang Shaoqi was also not feeling well.

"My hands and feet are numb..."

He said aggrievedly:
"Master, can you let me practice on my own in the future? Although I can consume energy, he is very strong. Every time he hits me with a stick, I feel uncomfortable."

"Stop talking nonsense. You must practice with your junior brother. Otherwise, how can you prove that he is more suitable for practicing the Violent Ape Thousand-pound Stick instead of the Black Tiger Slaughtering Knife?" Hearing this.

Yang Shaoqi began to complain in his heart:
"You want to save face, and you use me as a whetstone. My hands and feet are numb from being beaten by my junior brother who has no internal energy. Should I not save face?"

But in the end I didn't dare say it to his face.

But how could Chen Ku not be grateful for his sparring partner? He stepped forward and bowed, "Brother, you have worked hard. When I have time, I will bring you something to replenish your body."

"No problem!" Yang Shaoqi's eyes lit up. "It would be best if it's the eight dishes and eight bowls from Hongyan Tower. That's what I like."

Yang Luchan snorted angrily: "Your junior brother was just an apprentice before, how could he afford to treat you to a meal at Hongyan Tower? It would be better if you treated him."

Yang Shaoqi was depressed. He had spent all his money on martial arts training and had no extra money to eat at Hongyan Tower.

Chen Ku coughed and said, "Master, Senior Brother, to be honest, I actually have a small fortune. I own an iron shop outside. I will open it in two days and cut the ribbon. If Master and Senior Brother can come to support me, I will hold the banquet in Hongyan Tower."

"Oh, I didn't realize you're a mine owner?" Yang Luchan laughed when he heard it. "That's great. In that case, I won't help you save money."

Chen Ku felt even more satisfied.

Now that we have the background, we naturally need to have a proper opening ceremony. What could be more prestigious than having the second best artist in the county come and cut the ribbon in person?
I practiced in Jinshiyuan for half a day.

After Chen Ku became a disciple, he basically didn't have to work, but he still returned to the workshop at the Slaughterhouse as usual.

Nothing else...

He just wanted to see if he was qualified enough as a disciple of two master masters to take on the task of dissecting demon-level beasts?
Ke Yansheng was very happy to see Chen Ku coming back to stay here at night, but he was surprised after hearing the request, as if he understood something:
"Last time you said you practiced your sword skills by slaughtering people. Is that true?"

"Yeah, it's very useful." Chen Ku half concealed, it was the truth, indeed his growth was all thanks to the slaughtering in the Slaughterhouse, otherwise where would the power of the Four Symbols come from.

When Chen Ku was transferred to Workshop No. 3 to kill large beasts, he said that he didn't feel any improvement when killing small beasts, so he was transferred to Workshop No. 3 for large beasts...

Many apprentices in the butchery have experience in slaughtering and practicing with the knife.

But at best, you can only achieve a small level of success.

Unexpectedly, Chen Ku could use this trick to master the swordsmanship in less than three months.

"You mean, do you want to try to kill demon-level beasts?" Ke Yansheng thought for a moment and said, "With your strength, it is indeed enough, but I am afraid that you are a disciple now and should not do such dirty work. Also, your master has always been a clean person."

"That's okay. Don't I teach every master for one day? I'll just help out while we're training at the Slaughterhouse. I'll go see the master the next day clean and tidy. There's no conflict."

Chen Ku was afraid that Ke Yansheng would not agree to him.

"Well... well, if this can really help you practice your sword skills, then perhaps you can also quickly master Mr. Shang's Black Tiger Slaughter Blade through this method of sword training."

Ke Yansheng looked at the purchase list of the slaughterhouse and said:

"It just so happens that two Level 1 demons will be bought tomorrow. One is the 'Multi-faceted Phantom Lion', which can use demonic energy to create phantom clones to confuse people. The other is the 'Golden Eyed White Feathered Eagle', which can fly in the sky and flap its wings to cover a distance of 20 feet in one breath. It is extremely fast. The flesh and blood of these two demons are both excellent tonics, not to mention their special parts, which are all used as materials for refining 'Demon Pills'."

"You choose one, and let Yan Hairu from the courtyard handle the other one."

Chen Ku looked at the two monsters on the list and finally made a decision.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was early the next morning.

According to Chen Ku's request, a golden-eyed white-feathered eagle with its wings spread wide and a wingspan of about ten feet, which was locked in a huge cage, appeared in the large yard of the slaughterhouse.

"Be careful. The claws of this golden-eyed white jade sculpture are as hard as steel. They can even break swords and knives. The demonic energy it releases can even make a master of internal energy retreat with just one claw." Ke Yansheng warned worriedly.

In the yard, many apprentices from the slaughterhouse were staring at Chen Ku.

The young master, who is now the future successor of the Tujie Institute, opened the cage and faced the monster bird that was as tall as a person and had a wingspan of ten feet wide. After the cage was opened, he flapped his wings, let out a sharp cry, and broke through the air with one claw, grabbing Chen Ku.

Chen Ku took a sharp knife in his hand and used his bone-cutting and butchering knife to fight with it head-on. The wind from his knife collided with the sharp claws of the golden-eyed white-feathered eagle, and sparks actually flew.

But with the burst of divine power from Chen Ku, he grabbed the claws of the white jade sculpture and yanked it hard, throwing it to the ground, and then cut its neck with a knife...

A demon in the first realm, and a demon locked in a cage that cannot fly. Its advantages have been weakened by 70%. Can it be difficult to kill it by a human inner energy master?
[The owner of the picture killed the golden-eyed white-feathered eagle and obtained a demon-level evil spirit...]

Chen Ku was satisfied:

"Here comes the flying one!"
