Then, the old man took out a set of silver needles from his pocket.

It looks like it's been around for quite a few years.

While administering acupuncture, the old man explained the medical principles involved to Hu Yuan.

"He'll wake up after I give him this last injection, and I guarantee he'll be lively and energetic. That'll be the time to train your physical fitness."

The old man didn't even wait for Hu Yuan to prepare before inserting the needle.

"Hu Yuan? You can just die!"

Sure enough, the old man's words came true. After the guy opened his eyes, he saw that the person in front of him was Hu Yuan, so he jumped up and tried to kill Hu Yuan.

Hu Yuan, with an injury to his right arm, could only dodge.

"Old man, save me."

Hu Yuan really didn't want to fight a madman hand-to-hand; he was likely to suffer a loss.

"My name is not Old Man."

"So what's your name? You haven't told me yet, how am I supposed to know?"

"You didn't ask me either."

Hu Yuan was chased all over the living room, and the small and medium-sized furniture was smashed and left in a mess.

"Sir, I'm injured right now and I can't beat him. Please stop playing with my life, okay?"

Hu Yuan quickly begged the old man for help, groveling in his place.

"I don't like people calling me 'Grandpa'."

This arrogant old man really left Hu Yuan helpless.

He even said he wanted to find a reliable successor, but he himself is so unreliable.

"Master, I know I was wrong, Master. Please save me, or I'm really going to die."

However, Hu Yuan also realized that the old man had just said that he wanted to become his disciple, so it couldn't be wrong to call him that, right?

"Should I say you're smart or stupid? Even though your right arm is injured, the fact that you can still run so fast means that both of your legs are still very flexible and strong. Why don't you use your legs?"

The old man stopped finding fault with Hu Yuan's words, but still showed no intention of helping Hu Yuan.

At that moment, Hu Yuan felt like a million alpacas were stampeding through his mind. What kind of nonsense was this?

Of course, my legs are still useful, but I'm not a trained athlete. What else can I do with them besides running?

Used for kicking people?

If the person is standing still, that's fine.

But now they're risking their lives, how can they manage with just their legs?

Hu Yuan was chased for over twenty minutes until he was completely exhausted, at which point the old man finally made his move.

What have you realized now?

"You can't rely on anyone but yourself."

Hu Yuan rolled his eyes.

"Wrong. What I want you to know is that when you are in mortal danger, you can actually unleash unlimited potential. To put it simply, at your normal level, you could never run that fast, let alone last that long. But when you thought he was going to kill you, you did it."

The old man said in a very serious tone.

"No, that only shows that I'm afraid of dying."

Hu Yuan rolled his eyes again. Just a moment ago he was saying he'd let Hu Yuan take care of him in his old age, but now he's playing with his life like this. This old guy is really something…

"Alright, you actually know more about big principles than I do, so I'm too lazy to waste my breath on you. Cultivation isn't something that can be accomplished overnight. From today onwards, I'll be living here, and I'll personally guide your cultivation every night."

After the old man finished speaking, he went upstairs by himself and accurately found the best-furnished guest room.

At this moment, Hu Yuan finally believed it. This old guy had been observing him for more than just a day or two, and he knew his house inside and out.

Of course, if the old man wasn't lying about any of this, then in summary it's actually great news.

In other words, from now on, I will gradually become a divine doctor, and may even possess formidable martial arts skills.

That way, you won't have to fear being plotted against by villains anymore.

In situations where the use of force is necessary, one will naturally be more adept at handling the situation and able to cope more easily.

Once my medical skills are fully developed, I won't even need to fear those dirty tricks anymore.

As Hu Yuan fantasized about all this, he began to have greater ambitions for his future, perhaps he could surpass everything he had ever dreamed of.

It will become a historical record that no one can break.

However, as the saying goes, ideals are lofty, but reality is harsh.

Starting from the second day, the old man did indeed teach him some medical skills and cultivation methods every day.

But the results were not very good, and it was particularly agonizing and difficult.

Hu Yuan only learned some basic knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine and basic cultivation methods.

They were already exhausted.

Naturally, this also caused a lot of delays.

It was at this moment that Hu Yuan understood why the old man hadn't appeared a year earlier, but instead appeared when he was at his lowest point.

Because he's right, perseverance and resilience are very important when learning these things.

If it were me back then, I probably would have given up long ago.

There is no strongest, only stronger.

Only by being strong enough can one have a smooth journey in the future and defeat all those who want to harm one.

These two sentences are what Hu Yuan uses to motivate himself every day.

Because of these things, Hu Yuan spent less time going to the company and construction site.

Zhang Qing thought it was Hu Yuan's psychological problem at work and was very worried. He came to see Hu Yuan many times, but Hu Yuan didn't say much to him.

It was a secret, and the old man forbade him to tell anyone.

He himself was unwilling to talk about it.

It's not too late to explain unless you absolutely have to use these skills someday.

Moreover, this only applies to Zhang Qing; Hu Yuanli is too lazy to bother with others, let alone explain.

At this very moment, Li Jie, who is far away abroad, is also worried because Hu Yuan is reducing his outings.

Out of fear of Hu Yuan, even though Hu Yuan no longer possessed his former strength, and even though Hu Yuan's strength had long since surpassed Hu Yuan's by many times, he was still worried.

He knew that if they were to fight face-to-face, he would be no match for Hu Yuan.

The main reason why Hu Yuan suffered a great loss and stumbled was that he didn't pay enough attention to himself.

You can win by stabbing someone in the back, but you might not win by facing them head-on.

Even now, when he is thousands of miles away, in a lawless safe zone, a paradise for his enemies, he still can't let go of his worries.

Furthermore, Li Jie's ambitions actually go beyond that.

His original plan was to return to China after completely dealing with Hu Yuan.

In contrast, everyone in Hu Yuan's family was happy, except for Hu Yuan himself, who was not suffering.

Tuantuan, in particular, was not afraid of the strange old man who suddenly moved into his home. They quickly became good friends and played together every day.

The old man also has a rare childlike heart and is a doting father who plays games with Tuantuan whenever he has a spare moment.
