This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

Qingfeng smiled and continued:

"Let's not talk about anything else, just our junior brother Wang Yangming and junior sister Wang Jingshu."

"Junior Brother Wang is actually quite gifted. He quickly became familiar with the Taoist book 'Five Thousand Words' passed down by Master, and he was also able to master the method of entering a state of tranquility very quickly."

"But why hasn't his master taken the time to formally accept him as a disciple? Is it because of his aptitude? His comprehension? Actually, neither."

"Besides, there's Junior Sister Wang Jingshu."

"The little girl is clever and lively, and innocent by nature, but precisely because of this, her mind is too impulsive. Even after so long since she started, she still can't achieve a state of tranquility."

"Let alone foundation building and cultivation, it's already knocking on the gate to immortality."

At this point, Qingfeng chuckled self-deprecatingly:

"Actually, in terms of intelligence, I am the least intelligent among my fellow disciples, so why was I able to enter the Dao?"

"It's just because of my experiences and my life that I have no other choice but to take this path."

"Junior Brother Wang and Junior Sister Wang are different. They come from wealthy families, have a carefree life, and each has their own goals and pursuits."

"Junior Brother Wang is single-mindedly focused on studying for the imperial examinations, hoping to become a local official who educates and governs the people, and aspire to rise to the highest ranks of government."

"This means he is destined to be unable to truly devote himself to cultivation and to truly enter the Dao."

"Junior Sister is also full of chivalrous heroes in the martial world. She wants to ride her horse and roam the martial world, and become a peerless heroine who helps those in need."

"So this also destined her to be almost forever barred from entering the Daoist path."

Qingfeng glanced at the bright moon and sighed:

"Perhaps only those of us who have endured hardships and storms, and have no other choice, can truly abandon everything and peacefully pursue the Way."

"But... how many people in this world possess such talent and such a mindset?"

"If our Taoist sect can only painstakingly search for disciples with this kind of temperament and aptitude to spread its teachings in the future, then the Taoist sect will probably only ever be a small sect with three to five disciples per generation, or even a single disciple."

Mingyue suddenly realized and asked curiously:

"So, senior brother, you want to learn martial arts, or rather, find another path through martial arts?"

Qingfeng nodded and said:

"That's right. I had this idea vaguely when I went to Fuyang Mountain that day. After I returned and successfully established my foundation, I truly entered the Dao. This idea gradually became clearer."

"I want to use the perspective of Taoism to deduce martial arts, to see if we can take a step back and deduce a martial art that has the core Taoist cultivation methods but does not require such a high level of mental cultivation."

"Shouldn't Yangming and Jingshu at least have their own sect's unique skills to practice?"

"Of course, with your qualifications, senior brother, this is probably wishful thinking, but this direction should be pretty good."

"Once Master emerges from seclusion, this matter will naturally be overseen by Master."

"I'm just throwing out an idea to get the ball rolling, to take a few steps and see what happens."

Hearing this, Mingyue was already full of admiration.

Her cultivation aptitude was far superior to Qingfeng's, but her vision and perspective were on completely different levels.

Mingyue even felt that although her senior brother might not be as good as her in the path of immortal cultivation, the entire Taoist sect would surely reach a very prosperous state under his leadership.

Thinking of this, Mingyue couldn't help but become more interested and smiled:

"Don't worry, senior brother, I'll study it with you."

Qingfeng was overjoyed and cupped his hands in greeting, saying:

"With my junior sister by my side, things will naturally fall into place."

Just then, footsteps sounded at the alley entrance. The two siblings smiled at each other, and sure enough, a moment later they saw Wang Jingshu running in carrying a bundle, followed by Wang Yangming, who was also carrying a bundle.

Both of them were covered in sweat and panting heavily.

"Hey, these are all martial arts manuals collected by our Wang family, including fist, leg, palm, grappling, and various weapons."

Wang Jingshu placed the bundle in front of Qingfeng and smiled.

Wang Yangming quickly handed over the bundle he was carrying, and said seriously:

"My collection is less extensive, but it is relatively more advanced. Two of them involve Qi cultivation, but no one in my family, whether it's the guards or any other member of the Wang family, has been able to reach that level."

Qingfeng did not refuse and accepted them all.

Then he asked:

"What are the most basic ones?"

Wang Yangming immediately bent down and started rummaging through the pile of books, and soon picked out seven or eight of them.

He introduced each book one by one:

"This book is the most basic, explaining how to train strength. This one is about boxing stances, explaining the core concepts of martial arts. This one is about how to circulate qi and blood. And this one is about how to combine boxing techniques with qi and blood circulation, circulating qi and blood while practicing boxing to strengthen the body..."

After Wang Yangming finished his introduction, Qingfeng picked up the most basic martial arts training book and began to read it.

The reason for reading it aloud is so that even the bright moon can understand.

When encountering obscure martial arts terms that he didn't understand, he would go directly to Wang Yangming for guidance.

In an instant, this small courtyard, which was originally a place for quiet meditation and cultivation, became filled with a strong martial arts atmosphere, with the brothers discussing and having a lively time.

By the time Qingfeng finished reading those basic books, it was already getting late.

Wang Yangming then prepared to get up and take his leave.

Qingfeng called out to him:

"Third junior brother, wait a moment. After reading these books, I feel I have gained some insights into the circulation of qi and blood. I'll demonstrate it for you, and you can see if it's correct."

After saying that, Qingfeng began to circulate his qi and blood, ignoring Wang Yangming's blank expression.

In an instant, his skin began to turn red rapidly, almost like a branding iron.

Wang Yangming's eyes were filled with disbelief. He couldn't help but reach out and touch Qingfeng's exposed arm, and a burning sensation suddenly came over him.

Wang Yangming was so startled that he recoiled as if struck by lightning and abruptly withdrew his hand.

"This...this...how is this possible..."

Wang Yangming looked incredulous.

He has practiced martial arts for three years, and even now he can only barely circulate his qi and blood to make his skin and flesh full, barely stepping into the threshold of tempering his skin and flesh.

But Qingfeng only needed to read through these manuals once to reach the level that he had painstakingly cultivated for three years to achieve.

Even more frightening was that the amount of vital energy that Qingfeng transported far exceeded his own by several levels.

Before he could react, Mingyue, who was standing beside him, also spoke up:

"Look at mine too..."

After saying that, Mingyue's body trembled, and a powerful aura rose from her body.

Her fair skin immediately turned bright red.

Wang Yangming and Wang Jingshu exchanged a glance, utterly shocked.

They had never seen or even heard of anyone who could master a martial arts technique by simply reading it once.

This almost completely destroyed their view of martial arts.

"Heavens... Senior Brother and Second Senior Sister, are you... even human?"

Wang Jingshu exclaimed in surprise.

Wang Yangming nodded seriously, clearly thinking the same thing.

Qingfeng smiled, withdrew his qi and blood circulation, and asked:

"Junior brother, do you think my practice is correct?"

Wang Yangming didn't want to speak anymore, and could only say with a bitter face:

"Senior Brother, can you please stop being so discouraging? Even though I don't like martial arts, does it have to be this drastic..."

Qingfeng laughed:

"You said it yourself, it's because you don't like practicing martial arts, otherwise, with your intelligence, you should have entered the realm long ago."
