Yours truly, Ouyang Feng

Chapter 52: Participating in Lingbo

The pills prescribed by Ouyang Feng were quite effective. Not long after Hong Qi and Lin Chaoying took them, they finally stopped crying. They were able to move their hands and feet, and could walk around on their own by holding on to the walls, tables and chairs.

But his power was still restrained and he was unable to achieve full success.

However, he was able to hastily prepare an antidote that could slightly suppress the toxicity of Beisu Qingfeng with limited conditions, which was enough to prove Ouyang Feng's current attainments in poisons.

After asking about their current feelings, Ouyang Feng pondered for a while and said:

"Take it once every three hours. After two or three days, you should be able to slowly recover your strength. It's almost dawn, Brother Hong and Lady Lin should go and rest for a while and recuperate."

"Thanks to Brother Ouyang tonight, otherwise I, Hong Qi, would have fallen into the hands of a villain and would not be able to close my eyes even in death."

Hong Qi touched his lapel which was completely soaked with tears, feeling angry and ashamed.

Lin Chaoying finally looked up at Ouyang Feng and said thank you softly.

Her clothes were not soaked by her tears, but most of them fell on Ouyang Feng's back.

Afterwards, the two of them each found an inner room to rest, while Ouyang Feng moved the tables and chairs in the main room and began to practice "Lingbo Weibu".

Among Li Qiushui's martial arts, the most mysterious one is the "White Rainbow Palm Power" that even the Tianshan Tonglao would be amazed by. Ouyang Feng is unable to practice it now.

This palm force requires too much internal strength.

Now Ouyang Feng can only hit a little over ten feet away, and can only send out aerial palm power two or three times in a row at most. He is simply unable to practice the aerial palm power that can turn in the air and be straight and curved as desired.

The palm force is already two or three meters away, and it can be controlled remotely, changing the direction of attack at will. To a certain extent, this already falls into the category of "controlling energy with spirit."

I remember that even Li Qiushui didn't master the White Rainbow Palm power until her final life-and-death battle with the Child-Grandma of Tianshan. The first time she used it, it gave the Child-Grandma a little shock.

This is because Ouyang Feng’s skills are very profound.

Those who don’t have enough skills can’t even see the diagram of the White Rainbow Palm power.

With just one look, the internal energy will start to flow involuntarily, and then all kinds of signs of becoming possessed will appear.

As for the other Xiaoyao sect martial arts, even though they are not the exclusive skills of Wuyazi and other three Xiaoyao elders, but the universal skills that all three elders know, they are also quite exquisite, including fists, palms, fingers, claws, leg techniques, light skills, weapons and hidden weapons.

Among them is a sword technique that can be used to form a formation.

When two people perform the skill, it becomes a double sword combination; when three or four people perform the skill, it becomes a small sword formation.

Ouyang Feng felt that Xu Zhu's four sword servants, plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, might have practiced this sword technique.

It's just that Ouyang Feng already knows too many skills, none of which are particularly outstanding, and he doesn't want to waste energy on studying them in depth. He just wants to use them as resources for future "deduction and integration" of skills, and pass them on to his subordinates according to their aptitude.

The only things he was determined to study seriously were the White Rainbow Palm and Lingbo Weibu. Although he couldn't master the White Rainbow Palm now, he could figure out how to use its power and try to integrate what he had learned to increase the power of his palm.

Baihong's palm force can turn in the air without dissipating the force, which shows how powerful and solid its force is.

By figuring out how he used his strength and exerted his power, Ouyang Feng's own palm power would naturally become more powerful and condensed.

As for Lingbo Weibu, the threshold for internal strength is not high, but there are requirements for knowledge. One needs to understand the sixty-four hexagrams of the Book of Changes, or at least be able to remember the direction of each hexagram thoroughly in order to practice smoothly.

In order to study the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, Ouyang Feng actually studied the Book of Changes in the past few years.

Therefore, the directions of the sixty-four hexagrams were not a problem for him. He could directly practice the Lingbo Weibu according to the Lingbo Weibu step method diagram and the corresponding breathing rhythm.

Because Lingbo Weibu is quite complicated, beginners are bound to stumble and lack fluency when practicing it for the first time.

However, as he became more familiar with it, relying on his existing knowledge and extraordinary natural talent, he quickly formed muscle memory and walked more and more smoothly. Although he had not yet walked to the point where the whole room was filled with afterimages, he had already walked with a certain charm of riding the wind and floating on the water.

Before I knew it, I had been practicing for more than an hour, and it was already bright outside.

Lin Chaoying's power was temporarily lost, and she was in the same room with two young men. Even though they were not in the same room, she slept very uneasy. Therefore, she woke up after only a light sleep of more than an hour.

Although his hands and feet were still somewhat weak and he was unable to activate his internal energy, his body's strength had recovered somewhat and he could now move around normally without having to hold onto walls, tables or chairs.

So she picked up her sword and slowly walked out of the inner room. Before she reached the main room, she heard the sound of wind whistling in the room and the sound of clothes rustling in the wind.

She walked to the porch, lifted the door curtain and looked into the main room, and saw Ouyang Feng running around the room, his advance and retreat were as swift as the wind. When you looked ahead, he was suddenly behind you. When you turned and moved, he was as fast as a ghost. When you looked left, he was suddenly right.

But his posture was extremely elegant, his white clothes were as white as snow, his sleeves fluttered in the wind, and he looked like a god flying in the sky.

Such exquisite, graceful and elegant martial arts skills made the martial arts-loving Lin Chaoying a little mesmerized.

It was not until Ouyang Feng walked a full circle, stopped to think for a moment, turned his head to look at her, and said good morning that Lin Chaoying came back to her senses. She avoided his gaze somewhat unnaturally, raised her hand to stroke her hair, and said softly:

"Good morning. Ouyang, didn't you get a rest all night?"

Ouyang Feng nodded:

"Miss Lin and Brother Hong are both unable to use their powers, so someone has to stay to keep watch. It just so happens that I have plenty of energy and a strong physique, so it won't matter if I don't rest for three to five days."

Lin Chaoying hummed, and walked slowly to the table with a somewhat shaky step.

Seeing that she seemed to be looking at the kettle on the table, Ouyang Feng went over and picked up a porcelain cup, poured some water to rinse the cup first, then filled the cup with water and handed it to her.

This was just a casual move because she was unable to move around easily. However, this casual move, especially the act of rinsing the cup first, seemed particularly thoughtful and considerate to Lin Chaoying. She couldn't help but feel warm in her heart. She thanked her quietly, took the cup with both hands, and drank sips from it.

Ouyang Feng didn't say much. After pouring the water for her, he stood aside in a daze and began to concentrate on studying martial arts.

After Lin Chaoying finished a glass of water, she saw him in a daze and asked:

"What are you thinking about?"

Ouyang Feng responded:
"Lingbo Weibu."

"Lingbo Weibu?" Lin Chaoying asked, "The martial arts on the stone wall of the underground palace? I have seen that step, but there are too many steps and footprints engraved in the picture. It seems that there are thousands of footprints. It is impossible to remember them all in a short time. Did you remember them all?"

Ouyang Feng nodded:

"Due to some chance, I have a special memory method, and I did remember the entire set of steps."

"This is really..."

Although he admitted that it was due to "some kind of chance", Lin Chaoying was still a little shocked and didn't know how to describe it.

After a pause, he asked him again: "What you just practiced was Lingbo Weibu?"

"That's right." Ouyang Feng asked, "Does Miss Lin understand the sixty-four hexagrams of the Book of Changes?"

Lin Chaoying nodded: "I understand a little bit."

This was her modest statement. In fact, she was a man of both civil and military talents. Not only was she skilled in martial arts, she was also extremely knowledgeable. She had studied the Book of Changes and had a deep understanding of it.

"The Light Footsteps are based on the sixty-four hexagrams of the Book of Changes. Since Miss Lin knows the sixty-four hexagrams of the Book of Changes, why don't you study with me?"

"This..." Lin Chaoying hesitated and said, "This is the martial arts you memorized..."

Ouyang Feng said:

"But we explored the underground palace together. If I hadn't had Lady Lin's help and I had gone down alone, even with the fossilized pill, I might not have been able to clear the many landslides and enter the underground palace before those guys who were trying to take advantage of the situation brought in a large number of Xixia imperial soldiers. Lady Lin and Brother Hong both had a hand in the underground palace's martial arts."

As he spoke, he pulled out a meat-cutting knife and carved the diagram of the Lingbo Weibu footwork directly on the table.
