Chapter 5 Contact with Fan Wu
I waited for less than half a cup of tea.
A strong middle-aged man walked in with a few young people.
Seeing Bai Donglin sipping tea, Yuan Tao's eyes lit up. What an elegant and handsome young man! He took two steps forward, clasped his hands together and said:
"My name is Yuan Tao, the current headmaster of the Giant Stone Martial Arts School. May I know your name, sir?"
Bai Donglin stood up and greeted, and said politely: "Master Yuan, you are too polite. I ordered Donglai to come here. I have heard of the great name of Jushi Martial Arts School for a long time, and I came here specially to learn some basic martial arts."
It was obvious that Yuan Tao was a man of swift and decisive actions, so Bai Donglin didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
"Hahaha, Master Ling, you are too kind! But you have come to the right place to learn basic martial arts in our martial arts gym!"
"Although our martial arts school does not have any advanced martial arts, our basic martial arts are definitely among the best in Baicheng!"
When it comes to basic martial arts, Yuan Tao seems very confident. This is indeed the signature skill of the Giant Stone Martial Arts School, and it ranks first among all the martial arts schools in Yunzhou.
He is second only to several famous martial arts sects and the Bai family, which is why Bai Donglin chose him.
Bai Donglin didn't waste any words, he took out ten hundred tael silver notes and put them on the table, then looked at Yuan Tao and said:
"Master Yuan, here is one thousand taels of silver. I have only one request. Teach me your basic martial arts within one month!"
Yuan Tao's expression moved. He didn't expect that Ling Donglai would be so generous and frank, and his actions were so generous.
For an ordinary person to learn martial arts and choose an ordinary physical training martial art, it would only cost twenty taels of silver.
After all, basic martial arts are not precious; what are expensive are the secret recipes and medicinal materials that go with them.
This young man gave away one thousand taels with a wave of his hand, which was enough for an ordinary family of three to use for a hundred years.
Several disciples standing behind Yuan Tao looked at the banknotes on the table with envy. Is this the boredom of rich people?
"Your Highness is such a straightforward person!"
"In that case, I will personally teach you martial arts for the next month. You can learn all the basic martial arts in the martial arts hall."
Money can make you a god. If you don't make money, you are a bastard! Yuan Tao was even more polite in front of the banknotes.
He has such a huge family business and thousands of people rely on him for food, so he never has too much money.
Normally, those who teach martial arts are the few disciples he has accepted. He is the master of the sect and generally does not attack easily. Only when he is in a good mood will he take everyone for morning exercises.
One thousand taels of silver was not worth his personal effort, and it was just to teach some basic martial arts.
After that, Yuan Tao collected the banknotes and arranged for several disciples to teach the students in the front yard. He then took Bai Donglin to the back yard, introducing the Giant Stone Martial Arts School as he walked.
It turned out that he not only ran a martial arts school, but also opened an escort agency, and did the job of guarding the place and collecting protection fees.
Bai Donglin didn't care about any of this, he just came here to learn martial arts.
When he arrived at the backyard, Yuan Tao took out some books, a blueprint, and a one-to-one wooden man model.
"Sir, since you have no knowledge of martial arts, let's start with the most basic acupoints in the human body and the eight extraordinary meridians."
Yuan Tao spread out the blueprint, which had several human figures drawn on it and was covered with densely labeled text, including the eight extraordinary meridians, acupoints, tendons, bones and muscles, internal organs, and so on.
Bai Donglin was amazed. He never expected that in this world he could see such detailed anatomical diagrams, as well as things like meridians and acupoints.
Yuan Tao took the blueprint and the wooden man model and began to explain seriously.
And from time to time he would demonstrate on himself or Bai Donglin to make it easier for him to understand.
Yuan Tao explained very carefully, and Bai Donglin studied very seriously. Time passed quickly, and they had lunch at the martial arts hall and continued in the afternoon.
It was not until the servants in the martial arts hall lit the oil lamps that I realized it was already night.
"Master, it's getting late today, let's continue tomorrow."
Yuan Tao looked at the sky, nodded and said, "That's good, you're mastering it very quickly. In another two or three days, you'll be able to fully master all the hidden acupoints of the human body, and then you can start practicing martial arts."
After saying goodbye to Yuan Tao, he gave him a book introducing common knowledge of martial arts and told him to read it when he got home in the evening.
After leaving the martial arts hall, I looked around and saw a carriage parked not far away.
"Master Thirteen, the Madam asked me to take you to Ziyun Pavilion for dinner."
The coachman welcomed Bai Donglin into the carriage and said in a low voice.
"Got it. Let's go."
All this was within his expectations. Although the eldest lady usually lived in Ziyun Pavilion, any movement in the entire Bai family, or even the entire city, could be hidden from her.
With General Bai Li in charge of the southern military camp, the eldest lady is the sky of the city! Speaking of which, the original intention of the Bai family was also for the good of their own children. They didn't want young people to be eager for quick success and ruin their health.
Bai Donglin didn't want to hide it from his aunt. He was special and had a powerful immortal ability. Everything was solved as long as practicing martial arts didn't harm his body.
As long as he can become stronger, no one can stop him. This is Bai Donglin's most firm belief.
The carriage ran very fast and arrived at Ziyun Pavilion in a short while.
Walking directly into the hall, Madam Li Yi Qiu was already sitting at the dining table. The table was filled with dishes, all of which were his favorites. A table of food was worth a hundred taels of silver.
"My child greets his mother!"
"Come and sit down. I'll ask the kitchen to make you some of your favorite dishes to celebrate your mastery of the divine text."
Li Yiqiu pulled him to sit next to him, smiled and said, "I really don't know what's so good about martial arts that makes you Bai family men so obsessed with it."

"Mom, practicing martial arts can strengthen your body. Only when you are strong can you control your own destiny!"
Li Yi Qiu was silent for a moment, his eyes complicated.
"You little brat, your words are becoming more and more like your second brother!"
"Eat quickly, the food is getting cold."
Li Yiqiu filled his bowl with food and sighed quietly:
"Ordinary martial arts practice training the body first and then the qi. Before reaching the age of sixteen, the bones and tendons are not fully developed. Training the body is in vain and will cause great harm in the future."
"This is the Bai family rule. Mother cannot violate it. The Bai family martial arts pavilion is also guarded by the elders..."
Having said that, Li Yi Qiu stopped. She knew that she just didn't want Bai Donglin to leave her like the second brother, although she had selfish motives.
But ordinary martial arts always cannot be separated from the word "ordinary".
Even if you practice to perfection, what good will it do? It's still not good enough to be on the stage.
Not everyone is as gifted as her second child, and mortals can never enter that world.
Li Yi Qiu's eyes were blank, as if he saw his younger self again, feeling at a loss when he came into contact with that world.
Bai Donglin didn't notice her expression. He ate the food in the bowl in a few bites and said with a firm look, "Mom, don't worry. I won't do anything rash before my second brother comes back. I know what I'm doing. You don't need to persuade me anymore."
Li Yi Qiu was silent. Perhaps this was what a man was like, proud and confident.
After all, you are still a child. Only when you hit the wall will you understand the difference between immortals and mortals, which cannot be eliminated by hard work.
They ate and talked at the same time, and it was not until the end of the meal that Bai Donglin finally convinced the old lady to agree not to interfere in his affairs.
But the premise is that he must not harm his body. Bai Donglin agreed immediately. He is immortal, so he is certainly not afraid of hidden injuries during body training.
Returning to the quiet little house, I went to the study and lit the oil lamp.
Bai Donglin held "Martial Arts Common Sense" in his right hand and a dagger in his left hand. He stabbed his thigh while reading the book.
After stabbing it more than a hundred times, he stopped, put down the book, jumped, and moved the desk.
"As expected, harming oneself will not trigger that trait."
Is it still following the law of conservation of energy? This is also within his expectations, just like a person cannot lift himself up by holding his hair.
"Although my body hasn't become stronger, my tolerance for pain has increased! Is this because my willpower has become stronger?"
He was excited to find that pain could strengthen willpower. Of course, the stronger the willpower, the better.
After reading novels for more than ten years, which protagonist is not determined? At least when making some unknown will judgments, they will not fail! Thinking of this, Bai Donglin excitedly stabbed himself twice. Although the improvement was minimal, with his own ability and characteristics, he would inevitably suffer in the future.
The improvement of willpower can still be expected in the future.
In this chapter, many people are worried that the protagonist spends too much money to learn martial arts. I have modified the data. What I want to say is that the following is almost all about the world of cultivation, and it hardly involves things like ordinary money. Don't worry about it. Thank you for your support and suggestions! (End of this chapter)
