Mang Shusheng's Ink Painting Practice

Chapter 7: Hope for Cultivation
Zhao Yifu's crane claw grappling technique became slower and slower, but his movements seemed to have adjusted as well, becoming more and more graceful and agile, and even seemed to have some of the charm of a crane.

Moreover, the fundamental reason for such slow-motion practice is to increase the proficiency of Lingxu Finger Force. He has also done well in this regard. He has begun to understand this secret method and believes that he can quickly get started after he has enough true energy.

Of course, there was also an unexpected surprise, that is, his finger strength seemed to have increased as well?

It seemed that because the vital energy was deliberately directed to the fingertips of both hands, the muscles from the fingers to the palms and even the wrists and forearms seemed to have become stronger.

This made Zhao Yifu feel happy. After finishing his practice, he couldn't help but go to the room and write a few more big characters. He indeed felt that his strokes were more vigorous and powerful.

And because he had previously practiced controlling the strength in his fingers, this was reflected in his strokes, which became more rounded, giving a feeling of being soft on the outside and strong on the inside.

Compared with the previous ones, these words have an inner depth and are therefore clearly different.

His calligraphy has improved!
Zhao Yifu was excited. If his calligraphy was so good, what about his painting skills?
The same is true.

His original painting skills only stayed at the level of "painting likeness", which was far from the freehand style and artistic conception beauty pursued by those great painters.

Now he has not improved in this aspect either, but every stroke he makes has a heavy sense of layering, so that the objects in his paintings seem to jump out of the paper.

Zhao Yifu was extremely happy. He knew that his previous choice was not wrong. This Lingxu Finger Force was indeed extremely beneficial to calligraphy and painting techniques.

That afternoon, Zhao Yifu practiced his martial arts in slow motion as usual.

At first, the loyal servant would try to persuade them when he saw this, but soon he stopped saying anything.

Perhaps in Wu Zhong's mind, his second young master has already decided to pursue a career in politics, so the family martial arts skills are naturally no longer useful. He just practices slowly like this to strengthen his body.

"Second Young Master, I'm going out."

Wu Zhong said this and walked towards the door.

Zhao Yifu asked in slow motion, "Are we still going to look at houses?"

Wu Zhong nodded seriously and said, "Second Young Master has won the title of husband. The letter has been sent four days ago. I believe that the master has received the letter and is preparing to arrange for someone to visit you in Moyang City."

"If you wait until then to look at the house, it will be too late."

Zhao Yifu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, Uncle Wu. I don't have time to be distracted by this."

Wu Zhong nodded in understanding and said, "Okay, Second Young Master, you can leave these mundane matters to me without worry."

Saying this, he said goodbye and left.

Not long after Wu Zhong left, Zhao Yifu felt his "Letter Seal" in his arms suddenly tremble slightly. He quickly took it out to check and found that the seal had begun to gather yang and spiritual energy.

The richness of the yang and spiritual energy gathered this time is much greater than what Wu Zhong provided before, about ten times as much!
Zhao Yifu guessed that this must be the letter from home that has reached his father's hands!
His father, Zhao Yunhe, certainly did not have much artistic accomplishment, but he controlled the entire village and could be said to have gathered a lot of manpower.

Being able to gather people means that Zhao Yunhe carries the thoughts of everyone, so the yang and spiritual energy he produces are much more than that of ordinary people.

Although this description is a bit offensive, as if treating one's father as a "mine", this is the truth.

Zhao Yifu was so excited. It was the first time for him to feel so much yang and spiritual energy.

He stopped practicing and hurried back to his room, where he sat cross-legged and guided the Yang and spiritual energy into his Dantian.

He immediately felt a trickle of warm air being inhaled from his nasal cavity, then flowing down along the Ren Mai into his Dantian.

The Ren Meridian was therefore further developed.

To be honest, it would be great if this Yang and spiritual energy could also open up the Du channel on his back, so that he could achieve the small Zhoutian much more easily. Unfortunately, it couldn't.

The yang and spiritual energy that Dad took was equivalent to the amount he would have cultivated for a month.

Zhao Yifu felt relaxed all over, and his feelings towards Zhao Yunhe also changed.

No matter what happened in the past, at least now he is sure that this is a good father who cares about him, and Yang and spiritual energy are proof of it.

Coupled with his own hard work over the past five years, Zhao Yifu now finally feels that his dantian is full.

He was just regretting now why he hadn't thought of this method before. He could have saved himself a lot of hard work.

But thinking about the fact that he had no achievements in the past, Zhao Yunhe really didn't take him seriously.

This day felt like a fruitful one for Zhao Yifu.

From time to time, some more or less yang and spiritual energy would come out of his letter-suppressing spirit chapter. Zhao Yifu vaguely guessed that this should be his family letter being circulated.

Zhao Yifu felt the strong love at home and had an urge to go home and take a look.

It would be nice if each person could give a calligraphy or painting as a gift.

He seemed to have thought of a way to quickly improve his cultivation, but it didn't seem very reliable.

After all, if you give too much, no matter how good the calligraphy and painting are, they will be worthless, let alone his ordinary ones.

As for going home to visit... he didn't want to.

He had left home in anger. His older brother worried about him competing for the family fortune, and his younger brother feared he might win favor. His father ignored him, and his mother's thoughts were split between the two. He was caught in the middle, feeling the heat from both sides. He thought it would be better to hide away and live a quiet life.

……

Another five days passed like this, and he felt that the yang and spiritual energy conveyed by the letter from home had diminished a lot.

Only when it was late at night and everyone was asleep would there be a burst of spiritual energy continuing to come. It was obvious that Zhao Yunhe would appreciate the letter from home alone during this time.

With the help of his old father, Zhao Yifu has experienced a cultivation speed that is almost ten times faster than before.

This made him quite emotional. No wonder Liang Zhongzhi wanted him to go down the mountain... If he continued to practice in a rigid manner in Molu Academy, he might not succeed even in another five years.

Zhao Yifu confirmed this only after he had truly experienced the improvement brought to him by Yang and spiritual energy.

Because Yang and spiritual energy do not simply increase his accumulation of true qi, more importantly, it can bring new vitality to his true qi and completely revitalize his dantian, which was originally like a stagnant pool of water.

Under such circumstances, he finally began to try to let his true Qi flow downward, entering the Du channel from the perineum to open it up.

A warrior's internal strength is first cultivated through the twelve main meridians, which strengthen the body, and finally through the Ren and Du meridians.

However, practitioners start practicing directly from the Ren and Du meridians. This is not just a difference in order, but also a manifestation of superiority.

Not long after Wu Zhong left home that day, he hurried back and said, "Second Young Master, Third Young Master is almost in Moyang. Do you think you should go out to greet him?"

Zhao Yifu said in surprise: "My third uncle is coming in person?"

He knew that his family would send someone over, but he didn't expect that they would send Mr. Zhao Sanyehe himself.
