Uncle Jiu is not the only Maoshan Taoist successor in Yu Qian'an's hands. For example, Ge Hong belongs to the Maoshan Taoist sect, but Ge Hong is a traveler in history, while Uncle Jiu is a legendary hero unit. So even though Ge Hong is more famous than Uncle Jiu and has a higher rank, Uncle Jiu is still more powerful in terms of strength.
Even if I sit upright on the futon: (This chapter has 3,000 words, the first 1,000 words are not counted in today's update.)
Maoshan Taoism was passed down to the Three Mao Zhenjuns during the reign of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty. The Great Maojun left home at the age of eighteen and went to Mount Heng, the Northern Peak, to study Laozi's books and the Book of Changes. He practiced internal cultivation for six years after taking medicine. Later, he met the Queen Mother of the West and received the Dao of the Jade Pendant and the Golden Bell, as well as the Book of Taiji Xuanzhen. At the age of forty-nine, he returned home with complete enlightenment.
The most important classic of my Maoshan Dao is the Huangting Sutra, which is divided into the "Taishang Huangting Neijing Jade Sutra" and the "Taishang Huangting Waijing Jade Sutra". Today, I have passed it on to you. You are all my Maoshan disciples. Remember my Maoshan "Essentials of Practicing Rituals and Disciplines Notes".

Wang Yang quietly sent a message in the group: "Is this Uncle Jiu trying to fool us with something he found on Baidu Encyclopedia? We want to improve our strength, not join the Maoshan Sect. According to his teachings, won't we have to study for decades?
I finally understand why Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai are so poorly qualified. He is not cut out for teaching!"
Yang Jiarui: "Boss, these words don't count in your online article, otherwise readers will definitely complain that you have no bottom line in making up the word count!"
Le Xing: "This Taoism is really awesome, it's much stricter than the family rules of our martial arts school!"
Wu Liangliang suddenly stood up and rubbed his eyes: "Oh? get out of class is over? Goodbye, teacher!"
Uncle Nine: “…
You guys are all whispering to each other with your heads down, but what do you mean by suddenly standing up when you're sleeping in class?!"
Wu Liangliang: "Ah, Uncle Jiu, I'm sorry, I thought I was in a high school classroom. I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Yu Qian'an coughed and said, "Well, Uncle Jiu, you see, we are trying to survive here. The situation is urgent and it is a life-or-death challenge at any time. Can we first learn some methods of self-defense and improve our strength? As for the rules and regulations, we can slowly make up for it later.
Don't worry, these four are all great young men who were born under the red flag and grew up in the spring breeze. They are well-rounded in moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor aspects. They have been influenced by family tutoring, school education, job education or military education since childhood. There is absolutely no problem with their character.
You can't trust them, can you trust me too? Right!"
Since Yu Qiyan said so, Uncle Jiu couldn't say anything else. After all, the loyalty was 100 points, and Yu Qiyan's words were the highest.
Uncle Jiu: "Well then, today I will teach you the 'Taishang Huangting Neijing Jade Sutra'. This technique is a Maoshan internal technique and cannot be passed on to outsiders without permission..."
Wang Yang asked Yu Qian'an in the comment section: "I also want to pass this on to my heroes. Can this be passed on?"
Yu Qian'an: "Yes, but only heroes with 100% loyalty and passengers controlled by the scroll of indentured servitude can be transferred."
Yang Jiarui: "Then I'm relieved. Listen carefully, this time I'm going to teach you the real stuff!"
Uncle Jiu explained the internal cultivation method and then asked the other four to start practicing.
After they began practicing, Uncle Jiu brought Yu Qian'an to the small courtyard prepared for him in the red planting carriage. He then waved to Yu Qian'an and drew a sound barrier in the air before speaking: "Boss, what I gave them is the inner sect practice method of my Maoshan. What I will pass on to you next is the Tai Chi Mysterious Sutra, which is the practice method of the successive masters of my Maoshan. It was passed down from the Queen Mother and is the supreme treasure that leads directly to the Golden Immortal Avenue..."
