Chapter 167: Baodan Gong
The revival of the Wu Dynasty is in sight, and conflicts are bound to break out between the vested interests who want the revival and those who do not want the Wu Dynasty to be revived and who want to maintain the status quo or even change the dynasty.
The martial arts world, and even the entire world, has entered a turbulent period.
This was probably what Wind Whisperer meant when he entrusted his martial arts skills to me before his death. Since you've learned my martial arts skills, I've been a great mentor to you. Protecting the sect I founded during my lifetime should be a natural thing to do. Because Bai Xiaosheng no longer has a second Grandmaster.
"Greetings, Sect Master. Welcome back to the mountain!" Just as Wang Yao was thinking about how to treat Bai Xiaosheng, Bai Xiaosheng's other masters had already arrived at the hall and bowed to him.
"The Demon Sect has been destroyed by those so-called righteous masters, and the Demon Lord is also dead. I wonder where our Bai Xiaosheng will go in the future." The voice that Wang Yao spoke was actually his original voice, without any change. Shouldn't he imitate the voice of the Wind Whisperer?
This is because Wang Yao has figured it out. He is already a grandmaster and can do whatever he wants. In addition, he has also mastered the art of resurrecting the soul through borrowing another body, so there are no taboos in this world!
Apart from making things easier, it is enough to just cover yourself with the skin of a Windtalker. Do these people from Bai Xiaosheng dare to say anything or talk about revenge?
So after Wang Yao said this, he looked down with amusement. He saw several masters below, and their eyes first flashed with confusion, shock, fear, sadness, etc., but then turned into determination.
One of them, Grandmaster Bai Xiaosheng, who appeared to be an elder, stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Master Bing, the Demon Sect was destroyed simply because they acted carelessly. Whatever you decide to do in the future, we will obey your orders."
This statement seems to say nothing, but in fact it says everything. Obviously, these are smart people.
Even if they found something wrong, they had to accompany Wang Yao to put on a show. There was no other reason. A Grandmaster wanted to put on a show, so they had to give him face!
Something must have happened to the previous sect leader, and they lost their backing. Now a grandmaster has come to them to be their backer, and they are more than happy to do so.
As long as the current sect leader on the throne can protect them and ensure the sect's continuation, you won't care what he does. Do you really want to destroy yourself and the enemy together?
"Please give your orders, Master!" After figuring it out, all the masters in the hall bowed their heads and listened to Wang Yao's orders.
Wang Yao smiled slightly, which was a smile on his face as he was laughing at their understanding. He didn't need to waste any words or energy on them. The authority and might of the Grand Master were fully displayed at this moment.
"Haha, good, very good. I will appoint you as the Grand Elder of Bai Xiaosheng. After today, you must search the world for unique skills. It would be best if they are forces that have inherited martial arts skills but do not have a grandmaster in charge. Report them all to me. From now on, we Bai Xiaosheng will step onto the big stage of the martial arts world and come out into the open!" Wang Yao laughed heartily. He first spent a huge amount of money to buy a horse's bones and appointed the grandmaster who obeyed his orders first as the Grand Elder. From now on, Bai Xiaosheng will work hard to search for secrets for him.

Wang Yao was walking in a deep mountain forest while scanning the system panel. However, this deep mountain forest was different from the one in southern Xinjiang. Not only was there no miasma, but there was a strong spiritual energy.
"Hiss, is the vitality of heaven and earth so thick here? Our ancestors chose a good place." Wang Yao murmured, feeling somewhat moved by the rich vitality of heaven and earth in the mountains here. By practicing here, ordinary disciples can at least increase their practice speed by 10%.
Don't underestimate this level. Often the foundation of a force is revealed in these tiny details.
Soon Wang Yao climbed over a hill and saw a mountain gate. Above the gate hung a plaque. The plaque was ancient and very simple and meaningful. There were three big red-painted characters on it: "Danxin Mountain".
Danxin Mountain is located in the northwest. The area outside this mountain is extremely desolate. Not to mention the rich vitality of heaven and earth, even ordinary warriors will be weaker in their cultivation.
That's why Wang Yao was surprised by the vitality of heaven and earth where Danxin Mountain is located. He didn't expect that a great master had appeared in the northwest. When Wang Yao heard the news reported by Bai Xiaosheng, he didn't believe it. He thought that the people below thought he was easy to fool and wanted to punish a group of people to establish his authority. He didn't expect it to be true.
The grandmaster who once came out of Danxin Mountain was nicknamed Danxin Master. He mastered the art of alchemy to the level of a grandmaster.
"Bao Dan Zuo Ku" can be interpreted as holding an empty object, and then increasing the inward movement of the hip bones to create the state of sitting on an empty stool. Since sitting on a stool is relaxing and comfortable, and the object being held is weightless, all you need to do is relax your body and muscles.
Soon you'll feel the weight of your upper body falling through your spine to your Dantian and Mingmen points, distributing it across your hips. Then, this weight drops through your hips to your feet. So once you've achieved the "Bao Dan Zuo Kuo" pose, your feet will feel firmly rooted to the ground.
Thinking of some information about Baodan Gong that Bai Xiaosheng had investigated, Wang Yao became interested. Of course, action is worse than just thinking about it, so he wanted to snatch the technique from above.
This Master Danxin was born as a casual cultivator, and was even more miserable than Gu Ying, who was conceited about his extraordinary talent, because there was no one to guide him even into the door.
He relied entirely on self-study to master some of the most popular rubbish martial arts on the market, and even innovated on them, thus creating his own skill of Baodan, becoming a master and even a grand master, and becoming famous all over the world!
Unfortunately, due to the unfortunate descendants, Danxin Mountain has declined considerably. After Wang Yao expressed interest, Bai Xiaosheng thoroughly investigated Danxin Mountain. Even with the hidden strength, only a single Grandmaster remained to maintain the facade of this once powerful force.
There was no way around it. Who said the lifespan of a Grandmaster was a mystery? Some Grandmasters could live for a thousand years, while others could only live for a hundred years. This was also what Wang Yao was curious about. Of course, this was all later, but it was just that Master Danxin was the Grandmaster who could only live for a hundred years!
"A white horse adorned with golden reins gallops to the northwest. May I ask whose family this boy is? He is a knight-errant from You and Bing.
I left my hometown at a young age, my voice resonating in the desert. I used to hold a good bow, and my arrows were uneven.
He draws the bowstring to break the left arrow, and shoots with the right to crush the moon branch. He raises his hand to catch the flying monkey, and bends down to scatter the horse's hooves.
They are more cunning and nimble than monkeys and apes, and as brave and fierce as leopards and dragons. There are many emergencies in the border towns, and the enemy cavalry often migrate.
Feathered dispatches came from the north, and fierce horses climbed the high embankment. They drove straight into the Xiongnu, and looked left to overwhelm the Xianbei.
Throwing yourself on the edge of a sharp blade, how can you care about your life? If you don't care about your parents, how can you care about your children and wife!
"You are registered as a warrior, and you are not allowed to consider personal interests. Sacrifice your life for the country, and treat death as returning home!"
Wang Yao wore the special mask of the Bai Xiaosheng Sect Leader, with his hands behind his back, reciting poems, and he didn't know when he was standing on the gate of Danxin Mountain.
"Stop, this is the gate of Danxin Mountain. Please leave quickly." A gatekeeper disciple wanted to stop Wang Yao from entering the mountain gate and shouted loudly.
"Get out!" Wang Yao's shout of "get out" scared the gatekeeper disciple to death. Even the leader of his own sect was not as strong as this pressure.
"Listen up, people of Danxin Mountain. I am Wind Whisperer! Teach me the sect's inherited Baodan Gong, or I will wipe out your entire family!" Wang Yao did not hide anything and said straight to the point, "I am here to steal the martial arts. If you are not afraid of death, come out and give it a try."
Many of the Danxin Mountain disciples who were practicing in seclusion turned red in the face, vomited blood, and went astray.
How could one or two disciples of the first or second realm stop such power? Wang Yao yawned, stepped lightly, and entered the Danxin Mountain Sect.
Along the way, all the disciples of Danxin Mountain who he saw were howling like ghosts and running away in all directions. Not even one came up to challenge him, which made him feel very bored.
Finally, at the inheritance site of Danxin Mountain, the Sutra Library encountered an obstruction.
The last elite of Danxin Mountain, dozens of disciples at the peak of the second realm, stood here. Of course, they all looked pale and their legs were trembling, because the one in front of them was Wind Whisperer, the Grand Master of the Heavenly Ranking.
Wang Yao advanced step by step, and the disciples of Danxin Mountain retreated step by step, but they soon had nowhere to retreat. There was a sect behind them, and a grandmaster in front of them. They were simply not capable of defeating him. What should they do?
"Creaky!" The door of the Sutra Library slowly opened, and a white-haired old man walked out with a hunched back. The disciples seemed to have seen their backbone and breathed a sigh of relief.
Because the person who came was the leader of Danxin Mountain, no matter what decision the leader made, they didn't need to stand in the way.
But this sect leader is... He looks very old, with white hair and a hunched body. It seems that he doesn't have many years left to live.
Although the old sect leader is a master martial artist, he doesn't have much strength left in his body at this moment. He can deal with ordinary martial artists of the second level, but the one in front of him is a grand master.
He is already over a hundred years old, his energy and blood are depleting, and he won't live long. Although a master can always maintain his fighting ability, that is before the age of a hundred. After a hundred years, he will be waiting to die.
"I am the leader of Danxin Mountain. Grandmaster Wind Whisperer has arrived with great fanfare. I wonder if my Danxin Mountain has done anything to offend me?" The leader of Danxin Mountain stepped forward and had to bow his head to greet him.
Although they once had a grandmaster in Danxin Mountain, that glory had long since vanished in the long river of history, and now he was the only one holding on to Danxin Mountain.
"Hehehe, isn't what I said detailed enough? Give me the Baodan Gong of your founding leader, otherwise I will wipe out your entire family!" Although there was a suspicion of bullying the old man, Wang Yao still repeated his request.
Anyway, it was Wind Whisperer who bullied the old man, not him, Wang Yao, or Bian Jiu, so he had no sense of honor!
In this world, he has already stood at the top, and no one can see through his true identity as Wang Yao.
"Grandmaster, can you please show some leniency? This is our family's secret technique." The old leader of Danxin Mountain was horrified. This is an indelible shame for all the sects in the martial arts world.
Those who were still guarding here at the moment were all worried about Shan's diehard followers. Soon one of the disciples could not bear it any longer. A brave disciple, without saying a word, clasped his hands into a ball shape and rushed forward.
Wang Yao naturally knew this, and he waved his hand as if to drive away a fly, and a burst of energy directly smashed the disciple who dared to attack him into pieces.
Blood immediately splattered on the faces of the disciples. This was the price of standing out! The originally excited disciples around them fell into a dead silence, staring blankly at the remains of the disciple's body, their hearts filled with fear.
"Are you still not convinced? If you are, I don't mind teaching you how to face a grandmaster!" Wang Yao looked at the old sect leader and said lightly. This is killing the chicken to scare the monkey, and it is estimated that he will take action against him next time.
The old sect leader was in tears. The person who had just died and was beaten to pieces by Wang Yao was his most beloved disciple and the future pillar of the sect.
He leaned on his cane and stomped the ground vigorously, as if to say he was not up to the task. Then he said to Wang Yao, "You, Bai Xiaosheng, have come out into the open, yet you still dare to act like this? Aren't you afraid of the imperial court? The imperial court just sent a large army to annihilate the thirty-six kingdoms in the Western Regions!"
Even though the northwest is blocked from news, the news of a new super power in the martial arts world has still spread. Before, Bai Xiaosheng only hinted at his superiority, but now it is out in the open. I have a grandmaster in charge, so I am a super power.
Wang Yao laughed heartily, and said with disdain, "The Thirty-Six Kingdoms of the Western Regions are nothing but trash. We, Bai Xiaosheng, can destroy them all on our own. The imperial court is on the decline. You don't think they will stand up for a force like yours, do you?"
When the old sect leader heard this, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. Even the energy he had been trying so hard to condense disappeared without a trace, and his face turned as pale as death.
Yes, the imperial court is the imperial court, and their Danxin Mountain is Danxin Mountain. Could the imperial court dare to openly attack such a superpower? Aren't they afraid of the overthrow of the country? The old master has seen the world after all, and he can still figure out these twists and turns.
Accept your fate!
…
The door of the Sutra Library was open, but in less than an hour, Wang Yao walked out of the gate of Danxin Mountain.
There was really nothing interesting to see in the secret book of Danxin Mountain. He read it quickly and found that there was really nothing useful. That's right, Tai is a grandmaster now, how many secret books can be useful to him?
However, the Baodan Gong created by Master Danxin had been taken away by him. Now what was left inside the gate of Danxin Mountain was a handwritten copy, and what he took away was the original.
There was no way. Wang Yao was stronger, and Danxin Mountain didn't dare to stop him from doing what he wanted to do. Maybe some young disciples couldn't stand it, but the old and experienced master wouldn't do that.
For him, the sect's inheritance is the most important thing. As long as people are alive, skills, reputation, and humiliation are nothing!
On the way, Wang Yao casually flipped through the secret book and read the entire Baodan Gong, comparing it with what he had learned so far.
Once the boundaries of boxing are established, the arms must be bent three times, otherwise they will not work. The wrist bends practice crushing power, the elbow bends practice falling power, and the armpit bends practice sinking power. If they are not higher than the eyebrows and not lower than the navel, then the combined power can be achieved.
If you can hold together, you can unite. To judge whether someone has kung fu, first look at their unity. Ordinary people who haven't practiced martial arts are not in perfect harmony. Look at a weak person; are they scattered and unfocused? They collapse as soon as they start fighting. This is mostly due to a lack of unity. Only when you gather and form a unified force can you achieve strength. No higher than your eyebrows, no lower than your navel, is it like embracing a large balloon, giving you the feeling of punching with it.
All kinds of insights about Baodan Gong came to Wang Yao's mind, which benefited him greatly.
