The old Taoist's Tai Chi was so exquisite that Wang Bin became completely absorbed in it. Even after the old Taoist finished performing the Tai Chi, he remained standing there like a wooden figure.
Li Mingyang also gained a lot. He was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses and saw the old Taoist looking at him with a smile on his face. It seemed that the old Taoist was also very satisfied with his comprehension.
He was about to clasp his hands in a salute to the Second Master when the Second Master stopped him and pointed to Wang Bin, who was still unconscious beside him.
Seeing that Wang Bin still hadn't woken up, Li Mingyang felt a mix of envy, jealousy, and resentment towards Wang Bin. But these things depended on talent, and since he wasn't as talented as Wang Bin, he could only give up.
Li Mingyang then followed the old Taoist priest into the house, and also specially called someone to guard the backyard, forbidding anyone from entering and disturbing Wang Bin's enlightenment.
Around 6 p.m., the number of people coming to offer gifts and congratulations gradually decreased, and it was about time for the family dinner.
"Grandpa, my mom and the others said the food is ready. Please come down for dinner with your second uncle!"
"No rush! Junior brother, how much longer do you think it will take for Wang Bin to wake up?"
Upon hearing his third grandson Li Mingren's words, Li Zhengguo smiled and waved his hand, then looked at his junior brother Yuan Qingzi sitting to the side.
Yuan Qingzi smiled faintly and said, "Soon, at most half an hour!"
Upon hearing this, Li Zhengguo smiled and said to Li Mingren, "Ruman hasn't returned yet, so let's wait a little longer."
"yes!"
Li Mingren respectfully agreed and went back inside. Although his grandfather said he was waiting for his second sister, he knew that his grandfather was waiting for his fourth brother in the backyard. But he didn't dare to say it, so he went downstairs and asked his mother and the others to heat up the dishes first.
He went downstairs and explained the situation. Everyone understood what the old man meant, and they all became even more curious about Wang Bin.
Li Zhengguo has three sons, all of whom learned his Tai Chi. Among the three sons, the second son, Li Zhijun, is the most accomplished, barely reaching the beginner level of a first-class master. The eldest and third sons are only at the upper-middle level of a second-class master.
They also had some understanding of martial arts, so when they learned that Wang Bin had gained some insights after watching Yuan Qingzi perform a set of Tai Chi, and that he had been contemplating for so long, they knew that Wang Bin had extremely high comprehension.
After hearing Li Mingyang's description, they all regretted not being there at the time. If they had been there, they could have learned from Yuan Qingzi and perhaps even broken through their own limitations.
Li Mingyang was considered the most talented among the younger generation of the Li family, but unexpectedly, he only grasped the concept for a short while before waking up, while Wang Bin was still trying to comprehend it. It's really infuriating to compare people like that.
"It's rare to see the old man in such a good mood, so let's all wait a bit!"
"That's the only way!"
At this moment, besides Li Zhengguo and Yuan Qingzi, there was only Li Mingyang in the room on the second floor. As for the others, they were not allowed to enter because Yuan Qingzi thought their talents were too low and that going inside would only make him unhappy. So even though they really wanted to go in, none of them dared to go up.
Inside the room, Li Zhengguo and Yuan Qingzi were discussing their insights into Tai Chi, while Li Mingyang stood respectfully to the side, listening attentively.
This opportunity is extremely rare, especially the chance to hear Yuan Qingzi's insights. Even just a little bit of what he hears will greatly help his future martial arts skills.
Half an hour passed, but Wang Bin still hadn't come.
"Junior brother, I think you've misjudged him this time too. My disciple still hasn't woken up!"
"Haha, don't be so smug. In a few years, he'll surpass you. If your disciple surpasses you in skill, I'll see if you're embarrassed then!"
"Haha, I'd love for him to surpass me. Do you think he can reach your level?"
"Based on his current progress and comprehension, I think it's possible. However, he lives in a big city after all. To reach my level, he needs to have a complete enlightenment. When he has time, have him come up the mountain to find me, and I'll give him some pointers!"
"Alright, alright, it's rare for my junior brother to be so proactive, then I'll thank you on his behalf!"
"We're brothers in the same martial arts world, so let's not stand on ceremony."
The crowd below was getting impatient, but they had no choice but to wait.
Another half hour passed, and Wang Bin finally snapped out of his reverie. He found that he had gained a much deeper understanding of Tai Chi, and he now knew the principles behind many things that he hadn't understood before.
"Congratulations, player! You have achieved some insights into martial arts. Your Tai Chi skill has been upgraded to the third level, permanently increasing your Strength attribute by two points and Agility attribute by three points..."
"Congratulations, player! You have achieved a breakthrough in martial arts, advancing your Tai Chi skill to the fourth level and permanently increasing your Strength and Agility attributes by two points..."
"Congratulations, player! You have achieved a breakthrough in martial arts, advancing your Tai Chi skill to the fifth level and permanently increasing your Strength and Agility attributes by two points..."
Wang Bin heard three consecutive system notifications in his mind, and instantly his Tai Chi level rose three levels, reaching the fifth level.
At this moment, Wang Bin was so excited that he almost shouted. The three consecutive level increases added six points to his strength attribute and nine points to his agility attribute. He could feel himself becoming stronger again.
He looked up and saw that it was almost dark when he remembered that he had come to wish his master a happy birthday. He quickly pushed open the back gate and went inside.
As soon as he entered, he found everyone in the room staring at him, and their gazes seemed very intense. Wang Bin was so frightened that he swallowed hard and said with an awkward smile, "I, my name is Wang Bin, I'm here to wish my master, Li Zhengguo, a happy birthday!"
"We know your master is waiting for you on the second floor, so hurry up and go up!"
