The Legend of the Condor Heroes: From Being Expelled from Peach Blossom Island

Chapter 405 Dao Heart Seed Demon
Wanyan Honglie was a shrewd and perceptive man who knew how to conduct himself. How could he not hold a formal apprenticeship ceremony when Yang Kang formally became his disciple? After receiving Yang Kang's message, he immediately went to Wu Chengyu's courtyard. Just then, all the beautiful maids got up, looking haggard, which secretly pleased Wanyan Honglie.

In his eyes, Tian Boguang was a womanizer, a glutton, and a drunkard, making him the perfect person to win over and manipulate. Now that he had become Yang Kang's disciple, he believed that this top expert had completely boarded the Zhao Prince's ship.

In the past few days, his plan to annihilate the rebel army was dealt a heavy blow. Three thousand elite cavalry and one hundred heavy cavalry were wiped out. Even the current emperor was heartbroken by this loss and severely reprimanded him.

Then he contracted a strange disease, became a hairless monster, and became the laughing stock of the nobles and princes of Daxing City.

But at this moment, Wu Chengyu appeared. With a top expert joining the team, Wanyan Honglie was absolutely confident that he could sweep away the decline. Moreover, his hair began to grow back, and he even found that his eyebrows were sprouting this morning.

When people are happy, they are in high spirits. When Wanyan Honglie saw Wu Chengyu, he was all smiles, as if he had met his benefactor.

“Mr. Tian, ​​it is truly my son’s good fortune to become your disciple. The apprenticeship ceremony cannot be omitted. I plan to hold a grand banquet to let everyone in the Jin Kingdom know about this. We cannot be negligent.”

He had a ulterior motive: he wanted everyone in Daxing to know that he had a top-notch expert under his command.

But Wu Chengyu was thoroughly annoyed. He had come to the Jin Kingdom to cause trouble, not to be treated as a spectacle.

However, Wanyan Honglie insisted on doing something for Wu Chengyu, and Wu Chengyu took the opportunity to make his own request.

"Your Highness, please spare me these formalities. I'd rather use that time to try things I've never tried before."

"There is one thing I need Your Highness's help with. May I ask, Your Highness, since Daxing City is the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty, there must be highly skilled blacksmiths there."

"My Great Jin royal family has several master craftsmen whose skills are absolutely unparalleled in the world. Mr. Tian, ​​please just tell me what you need, and I will certainly do my best to fulfill your request."

Wu Chengyu turned around and took out his Black and White Impermanence swords, along with the spoils he had obtained from the arena in Xixia—two swords with magnetic properties.

"These two Qiankun Rings are my personal weapons, and these two swords are made of special materials. I would like to find a skilled blacksmith to help me melt these two swords into the Qiankun Rings. I hope Your Highness can help me make an introduction."

Since leaving Xixia, Wu Chengyu had been carrying these four weapons with him, hanging them on his body with a jingling sound. It was fine that the Black and White Impermanence were his personal weapons, which could be placed in the backpack behind his waist, but these two knives were really in the way when carried on his back.

Moreover, the Black and White Impermanence were forged from black iron and black gold. The materials of these two swords were also extraordinary. They were not ordinary magnets, but special metals with magnetic properties. It was not something that an ordinary blacksmith could do to melt them together.

Now that Wu Chengyu has left Qianlong Cave, the resources in Tongguan County are too far away, so he can only try to find a way through Wanyan Honglie. In this vast Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Honglie is a prince, so finding a few skilled blacksmiths would be a piece of cake.

“This matter is easy. I will make the arrangements immediately, and I will take care of all expenses.”

"Thank you, Your Highness. In that case, this will be the young prince's apprenticeship ceremony. Any other arrangements would only make me unhappy. I do things entirely according to my own preferences. If I am unhappy, I am afraid I will not be able to stay."

"In that case, I will grant Mr. Tian's wish. Mr. Tian, ​​please stay in my palace with peace of mind. If you have any needs, just tell me."

After exchanging a few words, Wanyan Honglie took his leave. Next, Prince Yang Kang made his appearance, striding in with roasted lamb kidneys.

“Master, why do you like such a fishy and gamey thing? We Jin people like to eat meat, but not many people eat lamb kidneys.”

Yang Kang, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, had no idea about the benefits of lamb kidneys. He covered his nose and looked disgusted.

But his current state is completely different from that morning. In the morning, he faced the second and third challenges, and his future was uncertain, which made him very nervous. Then he was subjected to a brutal beating by Wu Chengyu, which caused him both severe pain and intense itching, leaving him in a sorry state.

Now he's dressed in a light blue outfit, with a jade belt around his waist and a golden crown on his head. He looks radiant and full of energy, probably because he knows he has a chance to learn unparalleled martial arts and is very proud of himself.

Wu Chengyu naturally couldn't stand the kid being so energetic in front of him. He wanted to turn any energetic young man into a mentally ill one.

"What do you know? There's no such thing as replenishing yang by absorbing yin in this world. Kidney water needs to be replenished when it's depleted. Dietary supplements are the best way. You can't enjoy these lamb kidneys now, but in a few years, we'll see if you can eat them as a meal."

"Go and clean my bedroom spotlessly, make sure it's immaculate, not a single wrinkle on the bed, and clean every nook and cranny."

"Ah, Master, aren't there maids? Just tell them these things. I am, after all, a prince."

"Have you ever heard the saying, 'If you can't sweep a room, how can you sweep the world?' Have you ever heard the saying, 'When the master is in trouble, the disciple will serve him'?"

These beautiful maids have already done enough. At such a young age, you should learn to cherish and respect women. Go now, or if I'm not satisfied, don't even think about me teaching you divine skills.

"Master, what you taught me is truly a divine skill, you're not just trying to fool me, are you?"

"I, Tian Boguang, hereby swear to heaven and earth that what I teach you will surely be a divine skill, but what kind of divine skill it is, we will need your performance to find out. Hurry up and go, don't disturb your master's nourishment."

With Wu Chengyu's promise, Yang Kang reluctantly began to work. Wu Chengyu's bedroom was in complete disarray after the long battle the previous night. Yang Kang had never done such chores before, and he was immediately flustered. Only Wu Chengyu was enjoying his meal. The reason he made Yang Kang work was simply to avoid him getting in the way.

After he finished eating the roasted lamb leg and lamb kidneys, he finally replenished what he had consumed the night before. With the secret help of several maids, Yang Kang finally managed to clean the bedroom before slinking back to Wu Chengyu.

"Master, I've finished everything. It's spotless. Now you can tell me what kind of divine skill you're going to teach me."

Wu Chengyu turned his head and glanced at Yang Kang, unable to help but want to laugh. He had already figured out how to dig a pit for Yang Kang.

"The martial art I'm teaching you is the fundamental technique passed down for over a thousand years by my Quanxing Daoist sect, and it's top-tier in this world. Its name is the Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique. How about that? Isn't the name awesome?"

"Master, what is a dick?"

"Fine, forget I said anything. Just tell me, isn't this name amazing?"

Yang Kang felt a sense of awe and confusion, and asked with a frown, "Master, I understand the meaning of Dao Heart, but why does the word 'demon' sound like evil magic?"

Wu Chengyu took a sip of tea to wash away the taste of kidney in his mouth, his hand still rubbing his own kidney, but his expression towards Yang Kang was extremely disdainful.

"What do you know, kid? What is a demon? It's nothing more than the whims of human desires. As human beings, we are inevitably influenced by the seven emotions and six desires. If we cannot control our desires and let them grow infinitely, they will eventually become demonic thoughts."

But human desires can never be eliminated, otherwise we would be no different from stubborn rocks and withered trees, devoid of any human qualities.

Planting demonic thoughts within the Dao heart is like planting one's own demonic thoughts within the Dao heart, using the Dao heart to control the demonic thoughts, yet without eliminating them. This is my philosophy of complete self-cultivation: all six desires are properly satisfied, without upholding heavenly principles to extinguish human desires, but rather following one's own desires without being controlled by them.

Yang Kang was somewhat confused. He understood the meaning of Wu Chengyu's fabricated "cultivating demons in the Dao heart" and thought it made some sense. However, it seemed that his master had no control over his desires at all. He unconsciously muttered to himself, "Then why do you have eight in one night?"

"Haha, I follow my desires and enjoy the pleasures of sex, but I don't invest any emotions in them. That way, even if I have desires but no feelings, it's still a way to control my desires. Kid, you have something to learn."

Yang Kang disagreed with Wu Chengyu's typical scumbag remarks, but he didn't dare to refute him anymore. He could only ask how powerful the Dao Heart Seed Demon Technique was.

Wu Chengyu's face was serious this time: "The Dao Heart Demon Seed Great Method is the fundamental Dao method of Quanxing. It follows the Dao of Heaven and human desires, and is carefree and unrestrained. Its power is naturally extraordinary. If you start cultivating it now, you will become a first-class master in a few years."

Yang Kang's eyes lit up instantly: "A top-notch expert? That means he's even more powerful than Sha Tongtian and the others."

"Your vision is too narrow. Sha Tongtian and the others are at most top-tier second-rate. There are countless martial arts masters in the martial arts world who are superior to them. The few years I mentioned are just the initial stage of the Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique."

This skill requires a lifetime of practice, with almost no upper limit. As long as you practice diligently, becoming a first-rate master is just the beginning. In a few years, you will inevitably become a top master. However, whether you can become an absolute master depends on your destiny. This has nothing to do with skill level, but rather with talent and understanding.

Most importantly, Taoist divine skills place great emphasis on health preservation. Anyone who cultivates the Dao Heart Demon Seed Great Method will surely live a long and healthy life, and reaching the age of one hundred is not uncommon.

My master lived to be over 120 years old, and I guess he's still alive. I just don't know where he's gone to enjoy himself. Before he left, he told me that from now on, my lineage would only have me left. He was going to enjoy the mortal world and maybe even marry another wife to carry on the family line.

Your master here will probably live to be over a hundred years old, and will be able to party every night, full of energy and vitality.

"You'd better train hard, kid, and you'll be like me someday. How about that? Feeling like you've hit the jackpot?"

Yang Kang, a top expert, doesn't have time to think about that now. Becoming a top expert is already his highest expectation. According to Wu Chengyu, it's a sure thing that he will become a top expert.

Adding to this Wu Chengyu's description of him living a long and healthy life, wanting to get married even at over 120 years old, and being over 100 years old and full of energy, how could he not be excited? He felt an almost divine aura rushing to his head, and he nearly jumped off the stool.

“Master, then teach me now.”

"No rush, no rush, it depends on my mood. But where did you learn the Quanzhen Martial Arts from, and you've even mastered it quite well? You must have had someone explain and teach you, not just learned it in isolation."

Sha Tongtian and the others can tell you've cultivated internal energy, but they shouldn't be able to tell you're practicing the Quanzhen Martial Arts, am I right?

Qiu Chuji had instructed Yang Kang not to reveal his teachings to outsiders, but Yang Kang was very shrewd and had never let anyone know about it over the years. He didn't know how to explain it now.

"It doesn't matter. I'm too lazy to ask how you learned it. But it's a good thing that you're cultivating the Quanzhen Principle. With a foundation, it's only natural that you can switch to cultivating the Dao Heart Seed Demon."

　My cervical spondylosis flared up, so I wasn't feeling well and was a bit slow. This is the first chapter; I'll finish the second chapter as soon as possible. Thank you for your support.
