Chapter 63 Zhou He's Breakthrough (Seeking First Subscription)

After returning home, Zhou Fugan secluded himself and devoted himself to intensive training, focusing all his efforts on improving his internal organs.

That day, Zhou He found him. The boy's face was radiant.

"Grandpa, I feel like I can break through the skin barrier."

"Oh? Try practicing your stance training, let me see."

Zhou Fugan was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected Zhou He to have found the skin barrier so quickly.

"it is good."

Zhou He then began practicing the Zhou family's stance training method. As he moved, subtle popping sounds emanated from his body.

Zhou Fugan nodded slightly. Zhou He had already mastered the elastic force of the Zhou family's stance training method and used it to temper his skin membrane. No wonder his cultivation speed was so fast.

He reached out and touched Zhou Sheng to make sure Zhou He met the requirements for passing the level, then said, "Alright, He'er. Wait a moment, I've prepared some things for you."

Then, Zhou Fugan went to the pharmacy and took out a jade box from a locked drawer. This kind of jade box was more suitable for storing precious medicines. Inside, he found a green ginseng root about the thickness of a finger.

"This is a Water Spirit Ginseng. I'll brew you a bowl of tonic later. You can break through to the next level after you take it."

"Okay, thank you, Grandpa."

Zhou Fugan then took various auxiliary medicinal materials according to a tonic formula and stewed the water spirit ginseng.

Then, he turned to Zhou He and said, "He'er, while we have this little bit of time, let me tell you about the key points of impacting the skin barrier."

Zhou He immediately pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

Soon, Zhou Fugan finished explaining his experience in impacting the skin barrier.

Zhou He felt he had benefited greatly, and he could easily handle the same situation if he encountered it again during his attempt. This valuable experience alone would significantly increase his chances of success.

Just then, a delicate fragrance wafted over.

"Hehe, the ginseng stew is ready!"

Zhou Fugan chuckled and waved his hand to extinguish the fire in the stove. He took the earthenware pot down, opened the lid, and revealed half a pot of greenish-blue medicinal soup. The water spirit ginseng had disappeared, completely dissolved in the medicinal soup.

A rich fragrance wafted out, causing Zhou He's nostrils to flare.

"It smells so good! No wonder it's a precious ginseng!" He gave a thumbs up.

Once it cooled down a bit and wasn't so hot anymore, Zhou Fugan smiled kindly, "Here, drink it while it's hot, then you can start your challenge!"

"good!"

Zhou He couldn't wait any longer. He eagerly picked up the earthenware pot and drank the ginseng soup inside in one gulp.

He felt a surge of heat swirling in his abdomen and spreading throughout his body.

Zhou He immediately jumped into the courtyard and began practicing the stance training method.

A series of crisp, resonant sounds emanated from his body.

.

Half a day later, a burst of happy laughter came from the backyard.

The two sisters-in-law of the Zhou family, who were busy in the front yard, were confused and thought something had happened, so they rushed over at the sound. They found that it was their father-in-law laughing, with Zhou He, who was soaked in sweat, standing next to him.

"What happened?"

Li Qiuhua seemed to remember something, her face showing suppressed surprise, and she tentatively asked.

"Haha, He'er has broken through the skin barrier! From now on, he will be a true martial artist."

Zhou Fugan smiled with satisfaction and said.

"What? He'er has become a martial artist!"

Li Qiuhua's eyes welled up with tears, and she covered her mouth to avoid bursting into tears.

During this time, although she lived a good life with the Zhou family, she felt that she owed it all to Zhou Sheng. Although the two families were as close as family, she always felt like she was living under someone else's roof. Over time, the burden on her heart grew.

Now that her son has also become a martial artist, one can imagine the joy she feels.

"He'er has made something of herself, we should be happy. Don't cry," Zhang Xiufen said, stepping forward to comfort her.

"I didn't cry, I was just... just happy," Li Qiuhua said, sobbing.

"Haha, He'er's breakthrough is a joyous occasion. You two tell Guangcheng to go to Zuixianlou and order a table of food and wine. Let's celebrate tonight. When Guangshun returns in a few days, we'll invite the Guiyun family to host a grand celebration," Zhou Fugan instructed.

"Okay." The two sisters-in-law left happily.

"Grandpa, I've mastered the springy energy and broken through the skin barrier. Can you teach me the new stance training now?"

Zhou He asked with an expectant look on his face.

"That's possible. However, this new stance training requires a high level of Tai Chi proficiency. So you need to focus on practicing Tai Chi first, and I will teach you the new stance training once you've reached a certain level of proficiency," Zhou Fugan replied.

Zhou He was somewhat disappointed. "Alright then."

Zhou Fugan has not yet fully created a new martial art based on the Zhou family's stance training method, but he already has a clear theory and will be able to create it soon.

The new stance training method is exactly the same as the Hammer Cloud Mountain Stance, both using external force to temper the body from the outside in, achieving a stronger and more efficient tempering effect, and can also achieve the effect of internally training the five internal organs.

The vibrational force used by the Hammer Cloud Mountain-Shaking Stake accelerates cultivation.

The new Zhou Family Stance Method requires the use of elastic force, which was originally intended for external application and for wielding a fast sword. However, Zhou Fugan modified it to be applied internally. During practice, one must activate the elastic force of one's own skin and even tendons and bones to rebound into the body, accelerating the tempering of tendons, bones, and internal organs.

Now, he has developed a prototype and confirmed its effectiveness. The next step is to refine and polish it before finally launching it.

Zhou Fugan didn't know what truly superior internal martial arts training methods looked like, but he figured the effects should be similar. In any case, the martial arts he created based on this concept could greatly accelerate the tempering process of the internal organs, and also significantly speed up the tempering process of the muscles and bones.

For now, this is already the best martial arts technique they can cultivate. As for what the true internal cultivation method looks like, we'll have to find an opportunity to discuss it later.

That evening, Zhou Sheng returned home and was overjoyed to learn that Zhou He had broken through the skin barrier.

He then pulled Zhou He aside for a sparring session on the training ground. Of course, his cultivation level was significantly higher than Zhou He's, and he had far more practical combat experience. Zhou He was no match for him and was quickly defeated.

"Haha, little brother. You still need to practice more. I'll practice with you every day when you come back to help you improve your combat skills. Otherwise, you'll have all the skills but be unable to beat anyone outside," Zhou Sheng laughed.

"It's a deal. Brother, don't be too happy yet. I'll beat you soon," Zhou He replied defiantly.

Afterwards, the two brothers began cultivating again, each trying to outdo the other. One feared being overtaken by his younger brother, while the other was determined to catch up. The atmosphere of cultivation in the backyard was even more intense than before.

"Ha ha."

Zhou Fugan stroked his beard with satisfaction. This healthy competition could promote each other and accelerate their growth, which was something he was happy to see.

He laughed and said, "Alright, there's no rush to practice martial arts. Let's go eat first. The food and wine at Zuixianlou won't taste good if they get cold."

"Dinner's ready!"

Zhou He shouted and his body sprang forward like an arrow released from a bow, rushing towards the front yard.

Zhou Sheng was not to be outdone and gave chase.
