I am Zhao Zhijing, a poor Taoist priest, and I have disciples all over the world.

Chapter 5 Capitalist’s Happiness
"When you first practice the Great Dao, you will open up the nine orifices, which are originally located at the coccyx acupoint."

"Start by flushing from the soles of your feet, and then gradually flush through the Yongquan point to your knees."

“Slowly move from the knee to the coccyx.”

".The twelve palaces in the tower are located below."

Zhao Zhijing slowly recited the formula of the Quanzhen Dao Song word by word, interspersed with explanations of various acupuncture points and practical methods of cultivation.

"When you first start practicing, don't rush for success. If you feel that your acupoints are blocked or your chest is stuffy, then your practice method is wrong and you should stop practicing."

Yang Guo only listened to it once and he had memorized all the formulas. He had received instruction from top masters like Ouyang Feng. Although he became insane due to practicing Nine Yin in reverse, he was very precise when passing on the skills without any mistakes. Therefore, Yang Guo could easily master this most basic entry-level internal skill.

It's just that he had been a lonely child since childhood, and after much difficulty he was adopted by Guo Jing and Huang Rong, but they were unwilling to accept him sincerely, which inevitably led to his extreme personality and suspicion.

Now that he had arrived at the unfamiliar Chongyang Palace, he had no relatives there, and coupled with the incidents at the beginning, although Zhao Zhijing was teaching sincerely at this time, Yang Guo still didn't dare to believe it completely.

"First, you should memorize the formula, and then try to practice according to the method explained by the master. Once you have a basic foundation of internal strength, you can then learn boxing, kicking and weapons, and you will get twice the result with half the effort."

After Zhao Zhijing finished speaking, he waved his hand to signal Yang Guo to leave, and then went to teach other disciples martial arts.

When I was studying the scriptures just now, I was as casual as herding sheep, simply because there was nothing I could do.

In the previous life, I became a Taoist priest just to lie down comfortably. If I still have to study hard, then wouldn’t it be a waste of my time as a Taoist priest?
You are a Taoist priest in this life, but it is just an identity. The Quanzhen Sect here is more of a martial arts sect. You can't kill others just by chanting scriptures. In the end, it all depends on who has the bigger fist.

Therefore, when it comes to preaching and interpreting scriptures, although he was a Taoist priest in both lives, he was not very good at it.

But when it comes to martial arts, Zhao Zhijing is undoubtedly the best among the third generation of Quanzhen Sect disciples, without a doubt.

It can be said that teaching these disciples is easy.

"This sword should be raised two points higher. Don't keep your wrist stiff. Use the strength of your arm to lift the tip of the sword upwards."

"Waist! Use your waist to generate power! I told you to do horse stance properly, but you all just wanted to be lazy. This kick technique requires you to be strong while being fake. If your opponent is quick to defend, you will naturally have to change your moves midway."

"But if the opponent doesn't have time to react, you must exert force again and go straight for the Danzhong point on his chest!"

"Look at your kick again, it's so soft and without any strength, it's like you're throwing yourself into my arms!"

Zhao Zhijing was a strict teacher. When he saw some of the other disciples laughing, he scolded them, "Laughing? What are you laughing at? You said he didn't say anything about you, didn't you?"

"After today's lessons are over, everyone go and get ready!"

Although the master was strict, all the disciples were secretly happy.

Because when teaching martial arts in the past, Zhao Zhijing would often pass on the mantras and then demonstrate the moves, and then practice would depend entirely on personal understanding.

Hands-on instruction like today's is rare. Zhao Zhijing would only give some pointers when he was in a very good mood.

In fact, this is easy to understand. In the Quanzhen Sect, the only two things that the predecessor could show off were that he was Wang Chuyi's first disciple and the other was the best martial artist among his peers.

Moreover, the former needs the latter to stabilize it, otherwise it will be a useless name.

In this case, he must seize the time and concentrate on practicing martial arts. He also has the ambition to become the chief disciple and then inherit the position of the next headmaster, so he must not relax.

As for the disciples, those with good qualifications and willingness to work hard will naturally emerge gradually, and we will then pay special attention to them.

It may not be quite appropriate, but this method of teaching apprentices is not much different from raising Gu.

Looking at the current situation, it is quite different. The apprentices are naturally happy because they can learn more real things.

In fact, not only they were happy, Zhao Zhijing was happy as well.

While others are doing their own thing, I am the one who takes the lion’s share of the profits. Isn’t this a dream come true? Is this the happiness of capitalists?
Two hours passed like this. Zhao Zhijing looked at the disciples. Although they were exhausted from the training, they all had happy expressions on their faces. It was obvious that they had gained a lot.

"These disciples still have a shallow foundation. Teaching them too many things at once would only hasten their growth. It is better to stop while they are ahead and let them grow longer in the future."

Zhao Zhijing made a decision, and then clapped his hands, signaling the disciples to stop, "Let's practice here first, and take a rest for a while. After noon, we can practice horse training properly."

"Yes, Master!"

Watching his fellow brothers leave one after another, Yang Guo, who had already memorized the introductory formula by heart, took the opportunity to step forward, pretending that he had not memorized it well, and came to ask Zhao Zhijing for advice.

He was worried that the internal power formula that Zhao Zhijing taught him was fake, and it was not easy to verify it with his fellow disciples, so he had to confirm it again.

"When you first practice the Great Dao, you will open up the nine orifices, which are originally located at the coccyx acupoint."

"Remember that it doesn't matter if you go slowly. As long as you persevere, you will always gain something."

Zhao Zhijing repeated the formula of the Quanzhen Dao Song, and it was exactly the same as what he had said before.

"If you still can't remember, you can come and ask me or your fellow brothers for advice."

Yang Guo was much less wary when he heard the mantra said exactly the same thing twice. He thought to himself that he could ask again in the evening or early tomorrow morning to make sure the mantra was true.

In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon, and the disciples went to practice horse training again. However, this time Zhao Zhijing did not show up. He only asked Lu Qingdu and Liu Qingxing to watch to prevent anyone from slacking off.

Zhao Zhijing sat cross-legged in his room, meditating, and carefully checked the tenfold reward his disciples had received from their practice in the morning.

Among these dozen or so disciples, some are better at boxing, kicking, weapons, external skills and internal skills. Although the best one has only just passed the entry stage, but little by little it adds up to a lot, and the return is tenfold, so overall the gains are acceptable.

For example, if sixteen people practice internal energy for two hours every day, and then multiply it by ten, it would be three hundred and twenty hours, which is almost equivalent to gaining one month's worth of internal energy every day.

The disciples' foundations are still shallow and their progress varies, but the value of this time is incomparable to that of top masters like the Five Greatest Masters of the World.

After all, people have to live, and they cannot avoid eating, drinking, defecating, urinating and sleeping. Even those masters who practice in seclusion cannot practice for twelve hours a day without any slack, and persist for several years or even more than ten years.

In contrast, disciples like Yang Guo practiced with concentration for two hours a day without any exaggeration, and the two hours was just the minimum time.

Zhao Zhijing used his internal energy to practice, but the increase in his strength in the past month was not obvious. Fortunately, he could make steady progress and today was just the beginning.

In addition, the proficiency of external and light skills has also increased, and through guidance, the disciples have gained insights into martial arts moves. After the tenfold return, Zhao Zhijing's understanding of the same martial arts has also reached a higher level.

Just like the introductory sword technique of Quanzhen Sect, it uses defense as offense, and the first thing to ensure is that the person using this sword technique is invincible.

As Zhao Zhijing improved his proficiency, he found the flaws in his original swordsmanship that he had not taken into account, which invisibly made this swordsmanship more integrated.

"It's a pity that there are still a few less disciples."

Zhao Zhijing accepted all the harvest from the morning, thinking that with sixteen disciples now having such a harvest, if it could be doubled, it would even be over a hundred or eighty.

Then, as long as he concentrates on maintaining stability for two and a half years, he will have the strength to compete with the Five Great Masters, and then look forward to the throne of the world's number one swordsman at the Huashan Sword Contest.

Unfortunately, the Quanzhen Sect has very strict rules. Even for a top disciple among the three generations like Zhao Zhijing, it is not easy for him to accept disciples.

One or two may be fine, but one must also report to the master Wang Chuyi and the head teacher Ma Yu, and only after their approval can one be accepted as a disciple.

If there are more, it will most likely cause criticism from other fellow disciples, and in order to balance the relationships within the sect, the head master will most likely not allow it.

It seems that we still need to take a long-term view and come up with a comprehensive solution.
