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

Chapter 406 Keep up the good work

There is no such thing as the "Dao Xin Seed Demon Technique" in this world. This skill comes from Huang Yi's "Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Huang Yi's martial arts can be considered as average. In his works, the innate is as weak as a dog. In the world of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the innate is already a legend. This is the limitation of this world.

Wu Chengyu used this name because the phrase "Dao Xin Zhong Mo" (道心种魔) sounds very prestigious and impressive. In short, with this name, it sounds like an unparalleled divine skill. If it were called something like "Changchun Gong" (长春功) or "Yang Sheng Gong" (养生功), it would sound like a common, mass-produced skill.

So even martial arts need to be packaged. It has to be said that Lao Jin and Huang Yi are very good at naming. The names of those top martial arts must be resounding and unfathomable. Take Lingbo Weibu for example. If it were renamed Yijing Tabu, it would instantly drop more than one level.

As for the martial arts he was really going to teach Yang Kang, it was indeed a divine skill, and it was no wonder that Yang Kang called him master. He really didn't lie to Yang Kang, but this divine skill was definitely a trap.

What he wanted to teach was the Innate Skill, not the martial art he himself modified from the Nameless Divine Skill of the Quanxing Sect and named after it, but the truly famous divine skill in the Legend of the Condor Heroes world, the Innate Skill of Wang Chongyang.

The power of this technique is undeniable, and it is indeed related to Quanxing. Wang Chongyang created the Innate Technique after receiving the Quanxing Daoist Scripture from the old Taoist Zhenxiang.

However, this technique has a major flaw: if a practitioner has desires or passions, it will conflict with the mental cultivation method of this divine technique, leading to an early death like Wang Chongyang.

Most importantly, this martial art does not allow breaking the vow of celibacy. Once a woman breaks her vow of celibacy, she will lose all her power. Wang Chongyang went astray when he created this divine skill, and whoever tries to practice it will face a dead end.

Therefore, none of the Seven Masters of Quanzhen cultivated. The Southern Emperor's concubines probably didn't have three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two women, but they certainly had quite a few, and they had more than one child each. So, no matter what, they couldn't cultivate.

Zhou Botong once told Guo Jing that he could not master the Innate Skill after losing his virginity, but Wang Chongyang probably never intended to teach it to him.

Therefore, Wang Chongyang also had an unkind side, using his extremely flawed innate skill to exchange for someone else's One-Finger Divine Skill.

Of course, Wu Chengyu guessed that Wang Chongyang probably wouldn't be so tasteless. He probably already told the Southern Emperor about this flaw, and he himself practiced One-Finger Divine Skill in order to break the Western Poison's Toad Skill, without passing it on to others.

The Southern Emperor also used the exchange of martial arts as an excuse to deliberately teach Wang Chongyang the One-Finger Divine Skill, his purpose being to use Wang Chongyang to deal with the Western Poison.

However, these are all just idle talk. Wu Chengyu's transmission of the abstinence version of the Innate Skill to Yang Kang can certainly make great progress in his martial arts within a few years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he can become a first-class master. Yang Kang will not think that Wu Chengyu is fooling him.

But Wu Chengyu would never tell Yang Kang that this martial art requires abstaining from sex. At most, he would say that Yang Kang must not lose his virginity before the age of 18, which is to protect the physical and mental health of minors. He would not say anything else.

Yang Kang grew up in luxury, possessing all the qualities of a spoiled young master, but he was very shrewd and hid them well most of the time.

If it were just about abstaining from sex before the age of eighteen, Yang Kang could definitely resist, after all, the path to becoming a top master was right in front of him. But after he turned eighteen, past the age Wu Chengyu had instructed him to be, Wu Chengyu didn't believe he could remain chaste.

Even without Mu Nianci, this guy is always surrounded by so many beauties.

Wu Chengyu even firmly believed that in the original novel, when this guy met Mu Nianci, his act of going on stage to challenge her to a marriage contest was a pretense, and his real intention was to flirt with her. In other words, he was already an experienced player, and perhaps he had already lost his virginity by then and was no longer a virgin.

Therefore, Wu Chengyu continued to teach Yang Kang as he should, and he taught him sincerely. However, he never said the most crucial things. Even if Yang Kang became a first-class master a few years later, he would not pose any threat to Wu Chengyu.

After that, if Yang Kang couldn't resist even slightly, he would lose all his martial arts skills after losing his virginity. Even if he knew that Wu Chengyu was setting him up, what could he do? Who knew where that street hustler Wu Chengyu would run off to then?

Or perhaps Yang Kang has inexplicably never broken his vow of celibacy, and his martial arts have improved by leaps and bounds. What does it matter? Wu Chengyu is already an expert at using "I love a piece of firewood" on others. At that time, his master can completely help his disciple open his heart.

Thinking of this, Wu Chengyu couldn't help but burst into laughter, which left Yang Kang bewildered, but he could only awkwardly smile in return.

"Alright, you're not in a good mood right now, it's not a good time to practice martial arts. Get out of here, calm your mind and come find me again tomorrow morning."

Yang Kang had been practicing the Quanzhen Martial Arts since childhood and knew that mindset was very important when learning Taoist martial arts. He was currently feeling like he was on cloud nine, which was indeed not a good time to practice martial arts. When he heard Wu Chengyu telling him to leave, he immediately bowed and turned to leave.

As Wu Chengyu watched Yang Kang's retreating figure, he noticed the boy was getting excited, jumping up and down with every step. His mischievous side resurfaced.

His trip to the Jin Kingdom was originally to prepare for his journey to Mongolia. He had already learned that Wanyan Honglie planned to set off in a month. While he could certainly enjoy the month spent in the Zhao Prince's residence, it would be rather boring.

Besides plotting against Yang Kang, he also wanted to cause trouble, but he didn't have a good idea for the time being. Just then, he sensed that Yang Kang hadn't gone far from his courtyard when he was stopped by a servant.

"Your Highness, you asked me to catch rabbits and cats. I have caught quite a few. I wonder what Your Highness intends to do with them?"

“I have something to do right now and don’t have time to deal with these things. Here, you pick a rabbit, a white one, small and cute, and bring it to me tonight. I want to give it to my mother. She loves taking care of injured little animals, so this is my way of showing filial piety.”

Upon hearing Yang Kang's words, Wu Chengyu's heart stirred. This guy loved to injure small animals and then send them to Bao Xiruo, which was indeed filial piety; Bao Xiruo gained a lot of emotional value from caring for the animals. However, Yang Kang, despite his young age, was quite wicked. But most importantly, Yang Kang mentioned Bao Xiruo and said he was going to see her that evening.

When Wu Chengyu thought of Bao Xiruo, a woman with a weak character who ultimately chose to commit suicide, a thought struck him. He wouldn't do anything to Bao Xiruo, but he could use her to dig another pit for Wanyan Honglie and Wanyan Kang, this truly sincere father and son.

As night deepened, Wu Chengyu used the excuse of cultivating to shun his surroundings, then secretly left through the window. He stealthily made his way to the backyard of the Zhao Prince's Mansion and soon discovered a typical earthen house in the Jiangnan style.

This is why Wanyan Honglie, in order to please Bao Xiruo, went to great lengths to send people from Niujia Village to bring back all of the Yang family's belongings from back then, even making sure that this earthen house was exactly the same as it was.

Wu Chengyu was speechless; he really didn't know how to categorize Wanyan Honglie.

Calling someone a "simp" is an understatement; simps are those who try their best to please the women they like, appearing attentive and meticulous, but in reality, they are helpless and can't win the woman's heart at all.

However, Wanyan Honglie chose to use a conspiracy, colluding with treacherous officials of the Song Dynasty to send troops to directly wipe out the Guo and Yang families and snatch Bao Xiruo away. This kind of ruthless act of stealing love was clean and efficient, and he finally got what he wanted. A true sycophant would not do such unscrupulous things.

However, after obtaining Bao Xiruo, he not only made her his principal wife and rejected all other concubines, showing absolute devotion and affection, but also genuinely treated Yang Kang as his own son, someone who could inherit his throne in the future.

A dynasty established by a foreign ethnic group like this would not allow its royal members to intermarry with Han Chinese, just like the Qing dynasty with its queues, which prohibited intermarriage between Manchus and Han Chinese.

The reason why Wanyan Honglie could not get along with his father was also because of this: if Wanyan Honglie became emperor and the empress was Han Chinese, then the children born would have Han blood, which would be impure and would be a major taboo for the royal family.

This is because, apart from Wanyan Honglie, Bao Xiruo, and a few others like Qiu Chuji, everyone in the Jin Kingdom still believes that Yang Kang is Wanyan Honglie's biological son, but born to a Han woman.

Under these circumstances, the Jin emperor could still tolerate it to some extent, but he excluded Wanyan Honglie from the list of heirs to the throne.

If it were known that this son was also a fake, a thoroughly Han Chinese, and might even become the Prince of Zhao in the future, the Imperial Clan Court of the Jin Dynasty would probably have already ordered Bao Xiruo and Yang Kang to be imprisoned.

Not only that, Wanyan Honglie also watched helplessly as Bao Xiruo hid in this earthen house in Jiangnan every day, holding Yang Tiexin's broken spearhead, missing her deceased husband.

Even though he knew perfectly well that his queen always harbored feelings for another man, and that he himself had never even entered Bao Xiruo's heart, Wanyan Honglie was still able to endure it.

Wu Chengyu couldn't understand what was wrong with Wanyan Honglie's thought process. It was completely illogical. It couldn't be that when Jin Yong was describing Wanyan Honglie, he happened to read a romance novel by Qiong Yao and realized that the mistress was the true love.

Wu Chengyu quickly shook his head, trying to banish all the chaotic thoughts from his mind. Just thinking about Old Lady Qiong made him tremble; she was practically a childhood trauma for him.

Yang Kang hadn't arrived yet. He saw Bao Xiruo through the window, carefully wiping the head of a broken spear with a silk handkerchief. Without a doubt, under the night sky and with the bright moon hanging high, as the saying goes, "The bright moon carries longing across a thousand miles," this Princess Consort of Zhao was once again missing her deceased husband.

Bao Xiruo looked nostalgic and was filled with sorrow. Every time she wiped the gun barrel, she could recall the days she spent in Niujia Village.

Yang Tiexin was a rough man who didn't understand women's hearts and wasn't very good at taking care of his wife. But Bao Xiruo always felt that those days were happy. They weren't rich and luxurious, but they were peaceful, joyful, and at peace.

Now she is a princess, but in Bao Xiruo's heart, she has lost her chastity, betrayed her husband, and given herself to another man. Her heart has never been at peace.

Only by staying in this mud house and looking at those old things from back then can I find some peace of mind.

Just as she finished cleaning the gun, she suddenly realized that someone had appeared on a chair a few steps away from her. Bao Xiruo instinctively gripped the gun, but instead of pointing it outwards, she pressed it against her throat.

"You are Mr. Tian? It is extremely impolite to barge into a woman's boudoir so late at night. Do not forget that I am Princess Zhao, and this is the Zhao Prince's residence. If you intend to do anything improper, the Zhao Prince will not let you off the hook."

Wu Chengyu looked at Bao Xiruo with a resolute expression. An outsider had broken in, holding a sharp weapon, but instead of pointing it outwards, he was pointing it at her. This woman's heart was indeed weak, and she never dared to fight back.

"Princess, please don't worry. I have no ill intentions and will not harm you. I just happened to meet an old friend in Jin Kingdom yesterday and wanted to catch up."

Or perhaps I should put it another way: Mrs. Yang from Niujia Village, how have you been?

With a clang, the gun tip fell from Bao Xiruo's hand. She never expected that the person in front of her would know about Niujia Village and that her husband's family name was Yang.

"You, you, who exactly are you?"
