When squatting in a horse stance, keep your hands stable and cross them in front of your left chest.
Pushing left and pulling right is like shooting an arrow, with the left index finger pointing to the sky.
The posture shifts to the right as the waist moves, with both hands crossed in front of the right chest.
Push with the right hand and pull with the left, keeping your eyes focused on your fingers, then bring both hands back to the starting position.
The horse stance holds a pivotal position in traditional martial arts, with the saying that "ten times of practice is not as good as one squat."
Squatting in a horse stance not only makes your lower body more stable, but also effectively strengthens your body, making it a form of exercise suitable for all ages.
The training ground was already packed with people.
Ye Feng even imitated a scene from a movie, placing a lit incense stick under everyone's buttocks.
The disciples of the Shushan Sword Sect are all in excellent physical condition, so you will never see the scene of a hot buttocks.
Ye Feng weaved through the crowd, constantly adjusting the disciples' postures.
Squatting in a horse stance properly can strengthen the body, while doing it incorrectly can cause mental and physical strain. Ye Feng naturally dared not be careless about it.
Although Jian Chen, Yun Zhongzi, and Wu Qiuyu were already at the Mahayana Realm, they all felt that their foundations were unstable, so they also joined the army of those who were squatting in horse stance.
The newly appointed sect leader, Xing Zuo, and a group of supreme elders and hall masters were also present.
After adjusting everyone's posture, Ye Feng left.
Seeing Ye Feng disappear, Yun Zhongzi couldn't help but laugh in exasperation, "This junior brother is really easy to deal with, running away already?"
Jian Chen rolled his eyes and said, "What else? Are you going to watch us practice all the time? I'd rather he didn't find it troublesome than he did."
Wu Qiuyu chuckled and said, "It would be fine if Junior Brother really left, but I'm afraid he'll cause some trouble again."
Yun Zhongzi asked curiously, "Junior Sister, what do you mean by this?"
Wu Qiuyu said, "Senior brother, have you forgotten how he tricked you twice? He will definitely take this opportunity to serve those ugly insect meals again, and I know his excuse. It will definitely be, 'Everyone must be very tired after squatting all day. I have prepared nutritious food for you, which can make your exercise twice as effective. Eat as much as you want and don't be shy.'"
Yun Zhongzi was shocked. His first thought was, "Won't I be made to take the blame again?"
Jian Chen said nonchalantly, "I don't care anymore. I've been tricked by him more than once or twice. The worm is ugly, but it tastes really good and is also very good for your health. Just close your eyes and chew it."
Wu Qiuyu gagged and said, "I never imagined that my martial uncle's endurance was so strong. I really admire him."
Yun Zhongzi chuckled and said, "Junior Sister, you should take this dry heaving seriously. What if it's some good news?"
Wu Qiuyu immediately retorted angrily, "Senior brother, you should change your personality back. Your current personality is really annoying."
Xing Zuo suddenly interjected, "Junior Sister Qiuyu, I think you should really consider it. Senior Brother Shenqing asked me to take on the role of disciple on behalf of our master, which was partly to help you two. Later, our grandmaster wanted to take on Junior Brother as his last disciple, but it was Senior Brother Shenqing who persuaded him to give up the idea. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if the seniority was too complicated."
Wu Qiuyu rolled her eyes wide.
After being treated to a delectable feast of sea prawns by Ye Feng, Wu Qiuyu's every move was exquisite.
Although her squatting horse stance looked a bit awkward, it only amplified her heroic spirit.
“I’ve always treated him like a younger brother, but he’s always seen me as a burden. Senior brothers, please don’t try to play matchmaker for me. Thank you.”
Yun Zhongzi laughed and said, "If that's really what you think, then it doesn't matter. Just don't be hypocritical. I think Junior Brother and that Alluring Immortal from the Myriad Flowers Sect are definitely involved. Don't regret it later."
Wu Qiuyu was helpless.
These two senior brothers, Yun Zhongzi, Xing Zuo, and Shen Qing, who have already ascended to immortality, are just like parents in the mortal world who wish they could set their daughters up on blind dates every day.
However, we can't blame them. After all, they've lived together for hundreds of years. Wu Qiuyu can be said to have been raised by Yun Zhongzi and Shenqing Zhenjun. They always treated her like a younger sister or even a daughter. Parents always think the same way.
You two should ascend to heaven soon too!
"Senior brother, please stop criticizing me. When are you and Senior Sister Gu Ming going to hold a ceremony? And we need to catch up on this second-generation immortal. Senior Brother Shenqing is already far ahead."
Xing Zuo didn't expect that his words would backfire. He simply said, "Focus on your cultivation and don't get distracted," and then closed his eyes and began to practice his horse stance seriously.
Wu Qiuyu pursed his lips and stopped talking.
At this moment, Ye Feng was indeed preparing for a biochemical... insect feast, just as Wu Qiuyu had said.
Since we've already eaten fried cicadas and turtles, it shouldn't be too much to eat some fried silkworm pupae, right?
This is good stuff.
In short—it's incredibly nourishing!
Silkworm pupae are rich in protein, amino acids, and vitamin E, making them suitable for people with weak constitutions or those recovering from serious illnesses.
Silkworm pupae can also accelerate blood circulation, promote metabolism, help eliminate toxins and waste from the body, enhance immunity, and improve resistance.
Fried silkworm pupae are rich in vitamin E, which has a protective effect on the skin, can remove facial blemishes, and delay aging.
Unsaturated fatty acids account for 70.9% of the fat in silkworm pupae, with alpha-linolenic acid being the most abundant. It has excellent anti-inflammatory and anti-infective effects, and also has certain effects on lowering blood pressure and blood lipids.
The efficacy recorded in the food encyclopedia made Ye Feng extremely envious.
Moreover, the effects of removing age spots and delaying aging can be seen in the advertisement by Wu Qiuyu, a senior student.
The detoxifying effect is believed to have a remarkable effect on those who have been corrupted by Liang Xicai, a Cantonese man.
Don't ask Ye Feng how he knows Liang Xicai is from Guangdong; just the name alone gives him a 99% certainty.
This silkworm pupa was no ordinary silkworm pupa; it was transformed from the Heavenly Eye Green Silkworm that the Ice Phoenix Demoness had found in the Blood Demon Sect's mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
This mountain of corpses and sea of blood has absolutely nothing to do with corpses or blood; it's just a name the Blood Demon Ancestor came up with to fit the occasion.
Its mountains are lush and verdant with towering trees, and its sea is a vibrant blue with rippling waves.
The pupa that the Heavenly Eye Silkworm transforms into is not large, similar to the golden silkworm on Earth, and the process is also very simple.
After Ye Feng cleaned all the Heavenly Eye Green Silkworm Pupae seven times with the Cleansing Technique, he began to blanch them in boiling water.
The shell of this little thing is a bit hard. Blanching it is to reduce the stir-frying time. Otherwise, by the time the pan is all dry, the little thing may not be cooked through.
Even if you add water to keep the pot from drying out, there's still a high chance that this little thing will overcook and affect the taste.
Therefore, blanching is essential.
Ye Feng used a strainer to turn the food over from time to time, scooping out a spoonful to check if it was cooked through.
Although they are called Heavenly Eye Green Silkworms, the silkworm pupae are actually golden in color. Looking at the basket full of silkworm pupae amidst the swirling smoke, Ye Feng felt that they were quite cute.
