With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 412 The True Martial Core Turtle and Snake Generals worshipped the gods!
"It seems Xu Zailing has indeed reaped quite a harvest in the Demoness Ling's lair."

Meng Chuan felt a surge of emotion.

As a top-tier master of the Three Limits, Master Qi's hourly one-on-one tutoring fees are beyond the reach of ordinary students.

He stood aside watching Xu Qingfeng practice his boxing, his breath flowing smoothly and continuously.

The steps are Bagua steps, and the arms open and close with a sense of suppleness, as if parting the clouds and playing with the moon.

"This is the [Formless Fixed Intention Hand], the True Skill of Tai Chi. Would you like to learn it together?"

Upon seeing Meng Chuan arrive, Daoist Qi explained from the side.

Xu Qingfeng has been practicing this boxing style with him for the past few days.

He discovered that this kid had a pretty good understanding of Tai Chi and Bagua.

His comprehension of martial arts principles is quite good, although he is not as good as Meng Chuan, after all, that kid is a freak, but he is still a good prospect for cultivating Taoist methods.

Xu Qingfeng was a bit eccentric and always had a playful, joking personality.

Everything else was fine, and he was somewhat tempted to take her as his true disciple.

In Taoism, the acceptance of lineage through relatives is considered to be based on "fate," and fate is mutual.

He felt he had a stronger connection with Meng Chuan, but unfortunately Meng Chuan already had a master, so they weren't meant to be.
Watching Xu Qingfeng practice his boxing, Qi Daoren thought to himself:
"Let me break through to the Grandmaster level first. If I fail, it won't hold this kid back."

Upon hearing Qi Daoren's invitation, Meng Chuan shook his head and declined.

Too much to chew.

He hasn't even mastered the basics of Yang-style Tai Chi or Wudang Nine-Form Tai Chi.

How to learn this truly masterful Tai Chi style and boxing technique.

He could tell that Master Qi had developed a fondness for Xu Qingfeng's talent.

Meng Chuanzhen was genuinely happy for Lao Xu, as being able to cultivate under a master like Qi Daoren was a rare opportunity for him.

Moreover, it's possible that Daoist Qi is about to break through to the Grandmaster level.

At that time, Lao Xu will be a disciple of the master and take off.

Seeing his friend had such a great opportunity, Meng Chuan was delighted and practiced his boxing.

Master Qi taught two at a time, and then instructed Xu Qingfeng on the left to practice Tai Chi.

A little while later, he had to help Meng Chuan regulate the five elements' energy, keeping him very busy.

"The students in the Master Class are indeed different from those in the regular classes."

He taught geniuses, and he was among them, experiencing the joy of being a teacher.

The way of martial arts is just like this: in addition to climbing upwards, it also extends downwards and is passed down from generation to generation, thus it is endless.

After finishing his boxing practice, Meng Chuan bid farewell to the two men and, seeing the missed call on his phone, returned it.

A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.

The other party was Master's best friend, Grandmaster Zhao Shousui of Wudang.

[Xiao Meng, I heard you're coming to Wudang for study and exchange. When are you coming?]

I'll be leaving soon; I have a national mission to carry out first.

Upon hearing Meng Chuan's words, Zhao Shousui on the other end of the phone looked completely understanding.

He was a martial arts master, so he naturally knew the inside story and what the national mission was.

Zhao Shousui continued to ask:
"Alright, when you come to Wudang, what exactly do you plan to learn? As your senior brother, I can help you make some arrangements."

Luo Guanyun had urged him several times, and Zhao Shousui didn't know what Meng Chuan wanted to learn, so he took the initiative to ask today.

Meng Chuan thought for a moment and said:

Visit historical sites, pay homage to Master Zhang Sanfeng, and learn about the Zhenwu external martial arts style.

The first two are secondary; after all, we're already on our way to Wudang.

Finally, learning martial arts was his main purpose for this trip.

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Shousui pondered for a moment before slowly saying:

[If you want to see the ancient sites within Wudang Mountain imbued with Taoist spirit, that's not difficult. I can also show you how to pay homage to Grandmaster Zhang Sanfeng, but the True Martial Hard Kung Fu...]

This is indeed quite difficult. Anything related to Zhenwu is a closely guarded secret of the Wudang School, and this has been the case from ancient times to the present.

Whether or not an exception can be made for Meng Chuan is not up to him.

Hearing the hesitation in Master Zhao's voice on the other end of the phone, Meng Chuan's heart sank.

【Senior Uncle, can't I learn it?】

Well, it's not impossible, but never mind, we'll talk about it when you get here.

This matter can only be decided by Sect Leader Chen; no one else, including myself, can make the decision.

[Understood, thank you, Senior Uncle.]

Hearing what the other party said, Meng Chuan felt a little helpless.

The only hope is that when Headmaster Chen came to the main campus of the United Nations University to observe the ceremony, he had some recollection of the scene where he brutally beat up Wu Hong.
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Shousui pondered:

If Meng Chuan were to demonstrate the Azure Dragon Locking Technique and the Qi-Nourishing Armor Body Technique, Sect Leader Chen would most likely be impressed by his talent.

However, the [True Martial Core] inheritance method will definitely not be passed on to Meng Chuan.

Whether it's mental techniques or other methods including fist techniques and external training methods.

These are all secret teachings passed down only from the perspective of the True Martial Emperor.

The incense offerings of the Great Emperor are at stake; nothing can be done about it.

Even most Wudang disciples are not qualified to cultivate, let alone Meng Chuan, an outsider.

"However, Meng Chuan probably has a good chance of mastering the techniques of the Turtle and Snake Generals under the Great Emperor."

The "Turtle and Snake Generals" are the two attendants of the legendary Zhenwu Emperor.

There are many different accounts regarding their origins and backgrounds.

However, Wudang only recognizes the theory of "internal organs as manifestations".

Legend has it that when the True Martial Emperor was practicing at Wudang Mountain, his stomach and intestines were so hungry that noise disturbed his practice.

So he took them out and threw them into the bushes behind him. After the True Martial Emperor attained immortality, these intestines, imbued with divine energy, transformed into tortoises and snakes, wreaking havoc on the human world.

The patriarch assisted the Great Emperor in subduing the two, and eventually appointed them as the Turtle and Snake Generals to protect Wudang and many Zhenwu believers.

Turtles belong to the water element and are known for their resilience. As a result, the ancestors of Wudang created a top-level external martial arts technique.

The snake belongs to the fire element, and is violent and unpredictable. Together with the tortoise, they symbolize the convergence of yin and yang, and the balance of water and fire.

His creations primarily focused on body techniques, with only a small amount of fist techniques.

The methods involving the Tortoise and Snake Generals are also called the "True Martial Method" by Wudang, but they are not the core of the method.

However, both contain strong martial arts luck, which further solidifies the stability of the Emperor's lineage and prevents the occurrence of "demonic contamination".

"Meng Chuan has shown his talent; he should be able to obtain either the tortoise or the snake. The Tortoise General's Horizontal Training Method should satisfy this kid, right?"

However, Zhao Shousui did not tell Meng Chuan the reason that even the Turtle and Snake Generals' method was still decided by the sect leader.

Coming to his senses, Zhao Shousui stopped thinking about it.

We'll see how this goes when the time comes.
Meanwhile, in the clouds above the southern foothills of the Dabie Mountains in the Jingchu region.

Master Chen Tuan traveled nearly 600 kilometers from Wudang and waited for his friend here.

Whoosh-!
The clouds were whipped and swirled by the strong wind, and then, it seemed as if a blinding flame had descended out of nowhere, like a small sun.

Immediately afterwards, Sui Chunqiu stepped out from within.

He stood atop the clouds, his eyes gleaming with golden light, seemingly absorbing the ball of flame formed from the spiritual energy he had just encountered.

Sect Leader Chen Tuan was secretly astonished by the opponent's methods.
He immediately clasped his hands in congratulations and said:

"Spring and Autumn, congratulations! You've broken through to the Great Sage level!"

Sui Chunqiu smiled and waved his hand, saying:

"One step away, Lao Chen, you're congratulating me too early."

"What do you mean 'too early'? It's only a matter of time, haha."

Chen Tuan was very happy, not only because the Great Chu was about to gain another powerful figure.

Sui Chunqiu was almost two hundred years younger than him, yet he has gone much further than him.

Chen Tuan's actions were also a way of celebrating his "friend who is much older than him".

The two always drank together whenever they met, and this time was no exception.

Chen Tuan casually grabbed a cloud and used it as a table.

Sui Chunqiu took out fine wine and poured it for this senior who was both his teacher and friend.

Chen Tuan stroked his beard and laughed:

"Chunqiu, is there something urgent that you've come to see me today?"

"It's not urgent. I just wanted to clear my head while I was breaking through, and I also wanted to ask Brother Chen for a favor."

Chen Tuan nodded and said:
"The Spring and Autumn Annals, speak freely."

"Do you remember Meng Chuan, a student from our school? He was the one who shone brightly when we invited you to the celebration."

Chen Tuan nodded upon hearing this, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

Whether it was the wine in his glass or Sui Chunqiu's words that stirred up his memories, he didn't know.

At that time, this kid named Meng Chuan had such solid Taoist martial arts skills that it was almost abnormal; I was deeply impressed by him.

He had never seen anything like it before, where the ability to transform the physical body into armor and then into an extremely malevolent tumor-like form.
Chen Tuan said:

"I have a vague recollection of it, what's wrong?"

"That kid wants to go to your Wudang Sect for an exchange and study for a while, and Yang Huan has already sent a letter."

When he goes to Wudang, I'd appreciate it if Brother Chen could pass on all the knowledge he wants to learn; I'll consider it a favor I owe him.

He was secretly surprised upon hearing what Sui Chunqiu said.

Unexpectedly, Meng Chuan was so important to him that he came to talk to him personally, even offering a favor in exchange.

Sui Chunqiu is about to become a Martial Arts Saint, achieving the status of two Saints in one sect at the Northern Alliance University.

This favor is extremely valuable.

Chen Tuan nodded and said:
"Chunqiu, there's no need for us to stand on ceremony. This lad truly has a 'fate' to the Dao, and I can see his talent. Even if you hadn't spoken, I wouldn't have interfered."

If he wants to learn the methods of the Tortoise and Snake Generals, he can do so as long as he passes the patriarch's test.

However, you know that the core inheritance of Zhenwu is a secret of Wudang, involving the incense offerings and fortune of the Great Emperor.

As one of the top martial arts universities, Beilian University has a vast collection of martial arts manuals in its Wanjuan Cangwu Pavilion, so many that Meng Chuan could learn anything he wanted.

Moreover, the Four Directions Alliance exchanges resources and knowledge, so they can find 99.99% of the martial arts techniques in the world.

Chen Tuan could instantly guess what the other party's purpose was in coming to Wudang to study.

Sui Chunqiu said:
"My United University has countless true skills, but I don't know why this kid insists on learning your Taoist magic."

However, he already knows about the Demonic Influence and the Heavenly Demon. If he wants to learn your so-called True Martial Inheritance, just make him worship the gods.

In my opinion, Meng Chuan has an extremely high probability of breaking through the seventh major limit in the future; he is definitely a potential Great Sage.

Even if they aren't as devout as you True Martial disciples, Brother Chen, they will still possess a considerable amount of martial arts fortune in the future.

Upon hearing what Sui Chunqiu said, Chen Tuan seemed to be deep in thought.

He seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly a smile appeared in his eyes as he called out:

"Chunqiu, you're right. We'll see if he chooses to worship the Great Emperor when the time comes."

In this new era, Wudang must also make changes! Come on, let's drink!

March 3rd.

There is one day left until the national mission begins.

At 10 a.m., Meng Chuan's two swordsmen climbed Mount Li, and the three of them met up.

Huaqingchi, in Meng Chuan's villa.

When his teammates arrive, he must bring out good tea that costs 80 yuan per kilogram to entertain them.
