The Taoist priest who had been so lazy just now stood up from the ground, looked Chu Yuntian up and down, and even touched him, then frowned and said, "You really don't have the aptitude to learn martial arts, but... what's going on?"
Chu Yuntian was delighted in his heart and thought to himself, even if you rack your brains, you will never guess that my brother is cheating.
"You really only studied for two months and you've reached the late stage of Ming Jin?"
"Everyone in Guanghe City knows this. If you don't believe it, you can go to Guanghe City to ask around. Taoist priest, please teach me because I am devoted to learning. My requirements are not high. I just want to reach the Grandmaster level in one month."
"… "
The Taoist priest really wanted to slap Chu Yuntian into the wall, and he couldn't get out even if he tried. You want to reach the Grandmaster level in just one month, and you still say that your requirements are not high.
You have high demands. Do you want to reach heaven every minute
If others want to reach the Grandmaster level, they have to practice hard for decades. Some people are even stuck at the half-step Grandmaster level and cannot make any progress for ten or twenty years. Chu Yuntian, on the other hand, actually wants to reach the Grandmaster level in one month. What makes him speechless is that this guy actually looks as if it is a matter of course, as if it should be this way.
But when I think about how the other party had cultivated from a playboy to the late Ming Jin level in just two months, it seems that it is not difficult for him to cultivate to the Grandmaster level in just one month.
However, he did not think Chu Yuntian would succeed, and said earnestly: "Boy, I don't know why you can practice Chinese martial arts to such a level in such a short time. But I want to remind you that if you want to go further, it is more important to lay a solid foundation. Otherwise, no matter how fast you practice, you will be like a rootless duckweed that will be blown away by the wind."
"What the Taoist said makes sense."
Seeing Chu Yuntian's nonchalant look, the Taoist knew that he didn't listen. He didn't find it strange. After all, someone who could reach Chu Yuntian's level at such a young age would be a genius among geniuses in a martial arts family. Such a person is inevitably arrogant and will hardly listen to others' words without suffering any loss.
In the past, the Taoist priest might have ignored it, but Chu Yuntian was the most talented person he had ever seen... no, the most evil person he had ever seen. Therefore, he did not want him to fall quickly, and hoped that he could go further, not only to the level of Grandmaster, but also to the level of Grandmaster, or even higher.
He wanted to remind Chu Yuntian at first, but then he gave up and said, "Boy, how about you practice two sets of boxing for me to see?"
"OK!"
Chu Yuntian was overjoyed. Since the Taoist wanted to see him demonstrate his boxing skills, it meant that he was willing to give him some pointers.
After a little consideration, Chu Yuntian decided to practice Bajiquan. This style of boxing was very powerful and had great attacking force. It was his favorite style of boxing.
Hehe!
Chu Yuntian performed Bajiquan. Each of his moves was open and closed vigorously. His boxing style was majestic and powerful.
"Fortunately, I didn't go against Master Chu at the beginning."
Seeing Chu Yuntian's boxing skills, Shen Jiang was shocked. As a warrior, he could feel the powerful force contained in Chu Yuntian's boxing skills. One punch was enough to knock him down.
Like him, the Taoist priest beside him was also in a state of turmoil. He originally thought that Chu Yuntian's foundation must not be solid in such a short time, but when Chu Yuntian performed Bajiquan, it turned out that he was just overthinking.
The guy in front of me is a monster, and everything about him cannot be judged by common sense.
In less than two minutes, Chu Yuntian had finished performing a set of boxing techniques, and then he said, "Master, how is it? Is there anything wrong with my boxing techniques? Please give me some advice."
"That's right! However, many parts of it are not perfect yet, and you need to work harder in your practice." The Taoist said with his hands behind his back.
In fact, in his opinion, Chu Yuntian's Bajiquan just now has almost reached the perfect level. Many people who have practiced Bajiquan for decades may not reach Chu Yuntian's level.
If it were someone else, he would definitely praise him, but he was afraid that Chu Yuntian would become proud, so he said such perfunctory words and asked Chu Yuntian to continue working hard.
Chu Yuntian didn't think much about it and nodded to indicate that he would work hard to practice in the future. Then, he looked at the Taoist priest with expectation and said, "Master, can I help you practice?"
"This... is not enough!"
"… "
Damn, I'm ready to cheer, but you're telling me this. Do you know that you'll get beaten easily? Seeing the Taoist priest's expression of "I won't teach you", Chu Yuntian really wanted to punch him in the eyes and turn him into a panda.
But considering the gap in strength between the two sides, I could only think about how to ravage this Taoist priest.
"Boy, it's okay for you to let me teach you, but you have to do something for me."
"Master, just tell me what you want me to do. I will endure any hardships, no matter how hard it may take." Chu Yuntian patted his chest and said with determination.
"It's not like there's a mountain of swords and a sea of fire. Do you see the weeds ahead?"
Chu Yuntian nodded, with a bad feeling in his heart.
"There are too many weeds in front of the Taoist temple, which is not conducive to believers coming to burn incense and worship the Three Pure Ones. How about this, you cut all the weeds in front, and I promise to give you some advice."
"… "
Chu Yuntian was feeling like a thousand horses were running wildly in his heart. The outside of the Taoist temple was full of weeds. He was asked to clean up all the weeds. Was there any task more difficult than this
But seeing the Taoist's look of "I won't force you", Chu Yuntian gritted his teeth and made up his mind. It's just pulling out weeds. I can even deal with people. I don't believe that I can't deal with these weeds.
"Shenjiang works!"
"etc!"
"Master, do you have any other instructions?" Chu Yuntian tried hard not to go crazy.
The Taoist priest seemed not to sense Chu Yuntian's anger and said, "He doesn't need my guidance, so he doesn't need to work. It's better for you to do it alone. I'm training you, kid. Come on, I'm rooting for you."
Watch your sister!
Chu Yuntian drew a circle in his heart and cursed the Taoist priest, then ran to vent his frustration on the weeds.
"I can't see through this kid. His foundation, talent... Never mind, let's not talk about talent." The Taoist shook his head and muttered to himself, "If this kid has patience, he might be able to become another Jiang Tianhai in the future!"
It turned out that the Taoist priest did not mean to make things difficult for Chu Yuntian, but just wanted to test his patience.
Only those who endure the most hardships can become the best!
Naturally, Chu Yuntian now would not understand the Taoist’s good intentions.
weed!
weed!
Chu Yuntian couldn't vent his anger on the Taoist priest, so the weeds suffered an unexpected disaster. One by one, the weeds were pulled up by the roots and thrown together.
One, two...
Chu Yuntian didn't know how many weeds he had pulled. In the end, his shoulders were almost unable to lift up. After pulling weeds for more than ten hours in a row, he felt more tired than the half-step grandmaster.
The Taoist priest leaned against the door and said lazily, "Boy, you have only done so much in such a long time. You can't be lazy. Let me tell you, when my master punished me, I always pulled out all the weeds in half a day. Look at you now. Alas, the gap is too big."
"In order to prevent you from being lazy, I have come up with a brilliant idea. You are not allowed to stop until all the weeds are pulled out. If you can't persist, then you can go back to where you came from."
Upon hearing the Taoist's perverted request, Chu Yuntian almost vomited blood. This Taoist was really a rip-off.
"In order to break through to the Grandmaster level and for my life, I will endure it!" Chu Yuntian said in his heart, and then continued to pull out the weeds.
Seeing that Chu Yuntian actually chose to continue pulling weeds, the Taoist priest could not help but nodded. He was satisfied with Chu Yuntian's performance so far. He was able to persist for so long, so he had good toughness and patience. He was a good material that could be polished.
One hour, two hours...
Soon, it was the next day and Chu Yuntian was still pulling weeds.
From yesterday till now, he has persisted for more than ten hours, and his weeding speed has become slower and slower. Previously, he could pull up a weed as thick as a finger with just a flick, but now it seems that he has to use all his strength to pull it up.
Anyone who works continuously for more than ten hours like Chu Yuntian would be physically overdrawn. The fact that he was able to hold on without falling down shows that he is very capable.
Even so, Chu Yuntian had reached a limit. At this moment, he had a pair of big panda eyes and his steps seemed unsteady.
If Chen Jiang could still watch the show yesterday, but now seeing Chu Yuntian's appearance, he began to get anxious and pleaded with the Taoist priest next to him: "Master, Young Master Chu has been working for more than ten hours, please let him stop and take a rest before continuing to work."
"I know what to do, I don't need you to teach me."
The Taoist glanced at Chen Jiang and said, "I am doing this to train his patience and tenacity. The road of martial arts is full of thorns. Without a firm heart and perseverance, it is impossible to go too far. This kid is not bad!"
Chen Jiang nodded in agreement. If he were Chu Yuntian, he would never be able to insist like the other party. The other party deserved it, being a powerful and impressive figure, while he was just a small character. Now Chen Jiang was convinced.
While the two were talking, Chu Yuntian really had no strength left. He was exhausted and fell to the ground with black eyes.
"Go, carry him to the hot water I asked you to boil."
Soon, Chen Jiang carried Chu Yuntian to a large wooden barrel. There was a blazing fire under the barrel, and steam was rising from the water.
"Throw him down."
"Master... the water is probably 70 or 80 degrees. Is it too hot?"
"Do you think I will hurt you?"
Shen Jiang shook his head.
"Then throw it down!"
Chen Jiang was hesitating, but the Taoist grabbed Chu Yuntian and lifted him up like a chicken, then threw him into the water.
The burning sensation on his body woke him up all of a sudden. Just as he was about to stand up, the Taoist priest pressed his hand on his shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Boy, stay in the water and don't move."
Chu Yuntian woke up and found that he was actually immersed in water, and the water was actually green. Although the water temperature was very hot, his body felt very comfortable.
At this moment, the Taoist punched him on the back, and he immediately felt a strange force entering his body. His tired cells were instantly nourished and regained their vitality.
Now he finally understood the good intentions of the Taoist priest. It turned out that the Taoist priest wanted to help him temper his body! (To be continued)
