The destiny of all heavens begins in the Red Chamber

Lin Ruhai naturally did not refuse. This was a boxing style he used specifically for health preservation, similar to the Eight Pieces of Brocade, but with much stronger effects.

After all, the Lin family has been marquises for five generations, and their century-long accumulation of wealth is no joke.

The Lin family is a rare civil and military noble family among the founding nobles of the Great Qian Dynasty!

If we were to make a comparison, he would be similar to Fang Xuanling of the Tang Dynasty and Liu Bowen of the Ming Dynasty.

Five generations before Lin Ruhai, almost all of them were trusted ministers of the emperor; otherwise, the title of marquis could not have been passed down for five generations. By Lin Ruhai's generation, the only way to enter officialdom was through the imperial examination.

To be honest, the Lin family's accumulated wealth in certain aspects was in no way inferior to that of the eight founding families.

Putting aside the digression, Jia Huan learned the health-preserving boxing technique that Lin Ruhai practiced daily, and was surprised to find that it could actually make a certain progress bar of his previously unchanging "golden finger" slowly increase.

You can imagine how happy he was at that time, and he also attached great importance to the health-preserving boxing techniques taught by Lin Ruhai.

When Jia Huan had mastered this health-preserving boxing technique to a point of consummate skill and fluency, the progress bar representing breathing and exhalation in his golden finger had reached 23%.

What else is there to say?

He never imagined that a simple health-preserving martial art could help him so much.

At the same time, Jia Huan suddenly realized that he had gone astray!

Methods to improve breathing techniques are not limited to the Taoist school!

While the cultivation methods within the Taoist sect may be more advanced, a family with a deep-rooted foundation like the Lin family possesses various health-preserving and other cultivation methods, which are not without their effectiveness.

In fact, the effect is quite obvious!

Don't be fooled by the progress bar representing breathing; it only increased from 20% to 23%.

Jia Huan could clearly feel that the rate at which his physical qualities were improving was accelerating again.

Although he is not very old, his overall physical condition is much stronger than that of an adult strong man.

His physical abilities in all aspects have even begun to develop in a 'non-human' direction, and at a very fast pace. It is likely that before long, he will be able to perform many of the exaggerated actions seen in martial arts TV dramas simply by relying on his physical abilities.

So Jia Huan asked his future father-in-law, Lin Ruhai, if the Lin family had any other ways to maintain health.

Lin Ruhai, without suspecting anything, directly told Jia Huan about another health-preserving technique!

Jia Huan accepted it without hesitation, and then spent a considerable amount of time cultivating and familiarizing himself with it, turning it into nourishment for further improving his physical fitness.

In fact, his guess was quite correct, and the progress bar has increased again!

At this point, the progress bar for breathing exercises has reached 25%.

He felt that with each breath he took, his body underwent a workout.

The effect was quite obvious; his arm strength had now reached an astonishing 1,500 jin (750 kg).

Even the most powerful generals in legendary tales only possess this level of strength.

Not to mention, his physical attributes have been comprehensively improved, making his combat power even more off the charts.

If he were to use military martial arts, it's hard to say whether Jia Cong could even last ten moves against him.

As his own strength continued to improve, Jia Huan's confidence naturally grew stronger.

When the day comes that we can completely disregard the numerical superiority of the enemy, we will no longer need to worry too much about the threat of the army, and we can do whatever we want without fear.

Of course, he wasn't blinded by joy!

Most importantly, he hoped that his breathing techniques could continue to improve.

The current goal is naturally to acquire all of the Lin family's knowledge of health preservation.

According to Lin Ruhai, the health preservation methods collected by the Lin family over the past century include not only martial arts but also auxiliary methods such as herbal decoctions, and of course, medicinal baths are also indispensable.

It is also because of their own strong demand that the Lin family has accumulated considerable experience in this area.

Jia Huan naturally hoped to inherit the Lin family's knowledge in this area and directly revealed his intention, which surprised Lin Ruhai for a while.

It's no wonder he was surprised, considering that the Lin family's connections in officialdom and their vast wealth exceeding ten million taels of silver are what people value most.

Even the current emperor is no exception!

I originally thought Jia Huan would be the same, but I never expected it to turn out like this.

"As long as you are strong enough, everything else is just a piece of cake."

Faced with his prospective father-in-law Lin Ruhai's question, Jia Huan answered decisively: "Uncle should also know that Cong-ge'er's ability to become a martial arts champion is due to his formidable martial arts skills!"

"But Brother Cong's martial arts skills are still a bit lacking compared to mine!"

"If my martial arts skills could reach the level of the ancient fierce generals, I would have a greater ability to protect myself no matter what happens, and naturally I would be able to better protect Sister Lin's safety!"

These words naturally struck a chord with Lin Ruhai.

If he had possessed sufficiently strong physical attributes and martial arts skills, some tragedies might not have occurred.

It's a pity that he studied hard for his family when he was young, but by the time he achieved success, his mindset had become too ingrained to change.

By the time you understand these principles, you're already quite old.

He hadn't expected that Jia Huan, at such a young age, would understand these things. Entrusting Lin Daiyu to Jia Huan, at least in this respect, put Lin Ruhai at ease.

Of course, Lin Ruhai wasn't stupid!

Since Jia Huan values ​​the health preservation methods that the Lin family has collected over a century so much, he naturally won't bring them all out at once, but will instead keep Jia Huan in suspense little by little.

If it were someone with a poor temperament, Lin Ruhai's actions would have offended them to death.

Fortunately, Jia Huan wasn't that kind of person. He was quite happy about the progress bar for the breathing and exhalation skill on his cheat system. He was happy as long as there was progress, and he didn't expect to become a big fat man overnight.

After pondering this for so many years, he has gained some insights and experiences.

Ideally, one should be able to figure out the fundamental reason why breathing techniques can improve physical fitness and give one superhuman abilities.

Only in this way can one's physical fitness or other aspects reach a higher level.

Instead of knowing what happens but not why, wanting to reach a higher level when you don't even understand what's going on yourself, that's not something you can do in your dreams.

That said, the two sets of health-preserving exercises that Lin Ruhai taught him were enough for him to study for a year and a half.

If more health-preserving methods are provided, it remains to be seen whether they can be adequately managed.

Of course, it would be best if Lin Ruhai gave it all to him.

He never expected that it would be the current emperor who would do him such a big favor!

Seeing that he was about to be transferred to another place, Lin Ruhai stopped trying to keep him in suspense.

To put Jia Huan's mind at ease, they brought out all the health preservation methods collected by the Lin family.

"These health preservation methods are not only collected by the Lin family over the past century, but also by the Lin family of Suzhou!"

Lin Ruhai explained, "The Lin family of Suzhou, according to tradition, continued their lineage all the way to the Southern Song Dynasty!"

"It's been several hundred years now, and they've collected many valuable items over time. Health preservation methods are just one aspect of it. The profound heritage of these aristocratic families is far beyond your imagination!"

"The Lin family of Gusu is not considered a particularly famous family. They only have some reputation and influence in the Gusu area. Compared with those more ancient and powerful families, they are still somewhat lacking!"

"The reason I'm telling you this is to warn you that if you really encounter a powerful family, once you offend them, you'll be dealt with ruthlessly. Don't try to feign weakness; you can't outmaneuver them!"

"Their connections and resources are absolutely beyond your imagination!"

"Of course, although the powerful clans are formidable, you don't need to be too wary of them. After all, this is no longer the era of aristocratic families during the Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, so there's no comparison!"

Jia Huan was in a pretty good mood after leaving the Lin family.

Not only was his prospective father-in-law getting a promotion, but he also received some exciting news from his prospective father-in-law, Lin Ruhai.

Naturally, it's about finding ways to maintain health!

What aristocratic families are they compared to the royal family?

Unless it's a family with a thousand-year history like the Zhang family of Longhu Mountain, no family's methods of maintaining health can compare to those of the royal family.

Just think about it, the imperial palace had three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines, easily numbering over a hundred.

If the emperor were diligent enough to visit one concubine a day, it would still take more than three months to rotate through them all.

How strong must the kidneys be to withstand such torment?

Without powerful methods to maintain health, no emperor could expect to live a long life!

Whether it was the retired emperor or the current emperor, they had more than two sons, and also a considerable number of daughters.

It's clear that this father and son have a very strong desire for women!

Now, the retired emperor is over seventy, and the current emperor is over forty, yet they remain in good health.

If there weren't powerful health maintenance methods to back it up, how could such a situation possibly occur?

Just think about it, the two health-preserving techniques that Lin Ruhai casually taught him could help improve the efficiency of the breathing and exhalation methods he figured out. What if he absorbed the health-preserving methods from the royal family?

I dare not think about it!

Jia Huan guessed that the progress bar on the Golden Finger regarding breathing techniques was probably over 50%!

What is that concept?

With just one breath, 50% of your body's functions can be exercised—it's that amazing!
