Purple Mist Dao Master-Chapter 148 - 129: Turbulence in Feng Yun!

The news that ’Shadowless Kick’ Yan Chuan wants to establish a sect at Suanzao Mountain, was sent out with invitations, from Taikang to Guangling, and then from Guangling to Liyang.

The three counties!

Various sects and schools, and renowned figures from all walks of life!

Anyone with a name, Yan Chuan has sent an invitation, widely inviting heroes from the three counties to attend the ceremony at Suanzao Mountain on December 12th.

The momentum is huge!

Astonishing all sides!

Some are surprised that Yan Chuan is taking too big a step, such as ’Six Harmonies Fist’ Wang Kuan and ’Fu Family Boxing’ Jian Rong from the recently emerged ’Ten Elders’ of the Guangling Academy.

...

Jian Rong held the invitation, shook her head, and laughed: "This Yan Chuan, only a few days ago, visited the Taikang Academy and took away a good young disciple of my ’Fu Fist’ lineage. Now, instead of staying well at Taikang Academy, he runs to Suanzao Mountain to establish a sect?"

Can’t understand!

Jian Rong can’t understand!

It’s not just Jian Rong, Wang Kuan feels the same: "With Yan Chuan’s strength, if he chooses a good place and manages well, he might not be unable to achieve something. But choosing a strategic location like Suanzao Mountain from the start, I don’t see it being successful!"

A sect is different from a martial hall!

For a martial artist to establish a hall, it’s sufficient to gain notoriety in the city and withstand competitors’ challenges.

One person, one force!

Can achieve it!

But a sect is different——

Sect!

Sect!

What is a ’sect’?

A style of boxing is a ’sect’!

Normally, a boxing style with its principles, routines, weaponry, unique force characteristics, and training methods is called a ’sect’.

For example, ’Cheng Family Boxing’.

Originally, from ’Horse Stance’ to ’Iron Wire Fist’, ’Cheng Family Boxing’ lacked neither in routines nor training methods, but it was somewhat deficient in principles and force characteristics, barely passing as a ’sect’, which could be called ’Cheng Sect’ or ’Cheng Sect Boxing’, including ’Tiger Form Boxing’, ’Crane Form Boxing’, ’Thousand Pounds Fall’, ’Gongzi Fuhu Fist’, ’Ten Forms Boxing’, and ’Iron Wire Fist’, all of which, with deep development, continuously enrich and refine, ultimately could hope to reach the level of ’Cheng Family Boxing’, encompassing multiple facets of boxing.

But the previous ’Cheng Family Boxing’, was still somewhat weak.

Until Yan Chuan, based on the original ’Cheng Family Boxing’, created ’Six Harmonies Eight Techniques Fist’ and ’Five Forms Eight Techniques Fist’——

These two boxing techniques.

One is the combating principles of ’Cheng Family Boxing’.

One is the training principles of ’Cheng Family Boxing’.

Combat method!

Training method!

Complete principles!

From this point, the ’Cheng Family Boxing’ system was complete, and could truly be called ’Cheng Sect Boxing’, and establish branches externally as ’Cheng Sect’, ’Iron Wire Sect’, etc., widely recruiting disciples, achieving the leap from martial hall to sect.

But this still is not a true sect.

A boxing style is a ’sect’!

Then, what is a ’faction’?

’Faction’ means a series of schools!

A number of similar boxing styles practiced together is called a ’faction’!

In Guangling, like the Songhe Sect, which has ’Zhao Qian Sun Li’ four styles, similar and interconnected, on this basis, the Songhe Sect has both inner sect disciples, who inherit the orthodox tradition, and outer sect disciples, who don’t acquire the true teachings but can still set up halls, escort caravans, join military service, etc.

Inner sect disciples focus on refining martial arts!

Outer sect disciples strive and venture!

Ultimately, these disciples become influential, forming a power in the Jianghu, becoming a faction, this is the proper ’faction’!

Sect!

Faction!

Like the Martial Arts Academy, it can actually be counted as a sect faction, but in a new form of establishment and existence.

More orthodox in a way.

Broadly speaking, there are Six Great Sects of Great Yan, while on a smaller scale, there are Immortal Mist Mountain, Songhe Sect.

Big or small.

They are all factions.

But which of these factions was established easily?

Those that have been passed down for a hundred years are rare!

Sects that rise and fall with one person are countless.

"Yan Chuan is on the path to becoming a Grandmaster, making rapid progress, establishing a sect at this time interrupts his rhythm, hinders his future!"

"It’s unnecessary for him!"

Wang Kuan can’t understand why Yan Chuan is doing this unless: "He has an arrangement with Taikang Academy, drunk on intentions not in wine!"

But in——

"Rooting in old factions, then dismantling them?"

Jian Rong was stunned, then shook his head: "From Yan Chuan’s past experiences, he isn’t this kind of person."

Laying spies!

Cultivating traitors!

Though this has been a routine employed by many martial academies, including Guangling Academy, from Yan Chuan’s past deeds and reputation, it seems unlikely!

This is reputation!

That inspires trust!

"I don’t understand!"

"However, I’ve been in closed cultivation for half a month, all 78 small muscles in my arms have been tempered, and I’ve finally made progress in the first stage of Muscle Training. Being still leads to restlessness, it’s just the time to go out and walk around!"

Wang Kuan looked at the invitation again and couldn’t help but laugh: "Hundred Flower Palace! The name is truly fitting!"

...

December 12th!

Suanzao Mountain!

Yan Chuan intends to establish a school!

This news, like a whirlwind, swept through the three counties.

...

Guangling.

At the foot of Cold Mountain, in Duan Jiu’s home.

’Flying Fox’ Zhou Bin held the invitation, laughing: "A few days ago, he had just shone brightly in the Martial Arts Competition, and within a month, he’s going to establish a sect, and at Suanzao Mountain no less."

Too hasty!

Too arrogant!

Ultimately, he’s young, too young!

Nearby.

’Huayu’ Duan Jiu had new information: "Yesterday, I was drinking with Brother Guan, and he mentioned that Yan Chuan went to Taikang Academy and became a professor, in his first class, he guided ’Butterfly Sect’ Huo Zhen to break through to the ’Ten Elders’ level."

"..."

What is this all about?

Zhou Bin listened, confused!

He knows Yan Chuan!

He also knows Huo Zhen!

He’s aware of Guangling’s Ten Elders!

And he knows Taikang Academy!

But——

"You said Yan Chuan went to Taikang Academy to become a professor and instructed Huo Zhen to break through to the ’Ten Elders’ level?"

Zhou Bin was puzzled: "Yan Chuan and Cheng Fengxiao were determined not to join any academy, weren’t they? And Huo Zhen, with a great family lineage, couldn’t leave Butterfly Sect, even with Wang Sheng’s departure, he stayed put, when did he join Taikang Academy, that I wasn’t aware of? And can Yan Chuan guide Huo Zhen? Huo Zhen was guided by him to breakthrough?!"

What is all this!

This is wrong!

All wrong!

"Correct!"

Duan Jiu explained the entire situation to Zhou Bin, from Yan Chuan going to Taikang Academy, to his first martial arts lecture, to Luo Bing, Huo Zhen, and other old factions of Taikang going to challenge.

From start to finish.

Very detailed.

"So that’s it!"

Only then Zhou Bin understood, and immediately realized the most important point in this message: "Yan Chuan guided Huo Zhen, making him breakthrough to the Ten Elders’ realm! Huo Zhen is already at the Ten Elders’ level?!" ƒreewebɳovel.com

"Absolutely true!"

Duan Jiu held the invitation, looking north.

At this moment.

His heart stirred!

...

Taikang.

Taohua Mountain, Butterfly Sect.

Huo Zhen was in closed cultivation for ten days and finally emerged today: "After breaking the limit, my Qi-blood surged greatly, and it wasn’t until today that it stabilized!"

Bam!

Huo Zhen gathered his strength to deliver a split palm, only to feel his Qi-blood, Qi power, and control over strength had more than doubled compared to ten days prior, before his breakthrough!

Faster!

Stronger!

More subtle!

Breaking through indeed reveals a whole new world!

"This is just breaking the limit of Qi-blood!"

"Once Qi-blood is stabilized."

"Moving forward, I must choose which of the ’sinew, bone, skin, and membrane’ to temper."

Although Huo Zhen hasn’t joined any academy or new faction, with his vast connections, he has a rough understanding of cultivation after breaking the limit of Qi-blood through various channels.

Now that his Qi-blood has broken the limit, moving forward is about tempering the body.

At this time——

"Sinew, bone, skin, and membrane!"

"All can be tempered!"

"But my abundant Qi-blood must be anchored somewhere to be the main practice."

During closed cultivation.

Huo Zhen was already able to sharply sense that his whole body’s Qi and blood like a furnace had already been tempering ’sinew, bone, skin, and membrane’, but this wasn’t true ’tempering’, more accurately speaking, it was ’steaming’, ’nourishing’.

The real tempering needs to be fierce, intense, and pure!

"Of the five bodies: bone, sinew, vein, flesh, skin."

"Human beings begin, first forming essence, essence forms and brain marrow grows, bones are the trunk, veins are the channel, sinew is the tough, flesh is the wall, skin is firm and hair grows, food enters the stomach, and the veins flow, then blood and Qi circulate."

The ’vein’ in the five bodies is not meridians, but blood vessels, essentially referring to ’Qi-blood’, or ’blood Qi’.

Qi-blood connects sinew, bone, skin, and membrane.

Before breaking the limit, cultivation was broad and comprehensive.

After breaking the limit, one needs to focus on tempering.

"Bones, tough and powerful, with strong momentum."

"Sinew, taut and condensed, containing inner strength."

"Flesh, solid and full, quick in response."

"Skin, resilient and strong, impervious to weapons."

Each has its focus.

Huo Zhen had already chosen his direction.

However, cultivation isn’t rushed, he took out an invitation, read it again, and instructed a nearby child: "Summon Song Ji, Liang He Ping, Shen Zhuang, Fu Qiang to see me."

Taoshan Four Talents——

Song Ji, Liang He Ping, Shen Zhuang, Fu Qiang!

These are the four main disciples under Huo Zhen, each with extraordinary strength.

"Yan Chuan establishing a sect!"

"I must assist fully!"

Huo Zhen thought for a while, moved to the study, and hurriedly wrote four letters, sending them to Huang Chunqi, Liu Bing, Liu Tianhua, and Gao Jiao.

These four people, along with Huo Zhen, known as——

Taikang Five Righteous!

...

Time flies!

Taikang, Guangling, Liyang!

Yan Chuan’s invitations stirred up the winds in all directions. As the news of Yan Chuan intending to establish a sect at Suanzao Mountain spread, the news of him guiding Huo Zhen to break through at Taikang Academy also quietly circulated.

December 12th!

Suanzao Mountain destined to be lively!

But as the initiator stirring up the storm, Yan Chuan was at ease, staying in the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, never letting go of a scroll.

Scroll after scroll of boxing manuals!

Martial arts from various schools!

Experience!

Analysis!

Essays!

And even travels, and stories of extraordinary people!

Yan Chuan was immersed.

Sitting in meditation for three hours daily, practicing boxing for one hour, spending the remaining eight hours reading.

Sitting in the pavilion!

Boxing principles grow in the heart!

A month ago, in the Collection Room of Cangwu Department in Guangling City, Yan Chuan had little time, only briefly skimmed. This time, in the Hidden Scripture Pavilion of Taikang Academy, Yan Chuan truly opened up to read.

Eight hours a day!

One day could match four!

By consuming ’experience’ to enhance concentration, Yan Chuan could read without distraction, increasing reading efficiency tenfold.

Four times ten again!

Yan Chuan’s reading, ten days equaled a year!

Pile Skill!

Boxing!

Strength!

Qi-blood!

Yan Chuan read extensively, examining each item——
