Chapter 22: Chapter 20: Practice and Consumption_2

"So, I\'d better spend half a year studying the first technique and the first meridian, making sure there are no problems before starting cultivating."

Lu Yuan looked at the ancient Chinese text in front of him, with no punctuation, which was extremely difficult to read. If it wasn\'t for his foundation, he might have had trouble understanding it.

However, after reading for a while, he gained some insights into the first Cloud Palm technique, the Submerging Water Technique, and had a general idea of how to practice it.

But this understanding was still not enough, and he needed more refinement, as some flaws remained.

If it were an ordinary person, like the dead Ma Jiqing, knowing the specific practice methods would undoubtedly lead them to start practicing without hesitation.

After all, their lives were short, and time was of the essence. They could only strive for martial arts progress within their limited lifespans and then enjoy wealth and rank.

But Lu Yuan valued his life and had no limits to his longevity. So, for these body-affecting martial arts, he naturally had to be cautious and prudent.

At this moment.

He wouldn\'t dare to practice the Submerging Water Technique until he had researched it thousands of times, understood it more deeply than its creator, and eliminated hidden dangers.

All for the sake of longevity and his own life.

...

Winter has passed, and spring has come.

In the blink of an eye, the scorching heat and cold autumn have passed, and Dayu Mountain is covered with a layer of white snow again.

Outside the cave in the mountains, a clear, icy stream flows slowly. The melted snow from the sunlight seeps into the stream from the crevices between the broken stones by the side of the stream.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

A strong wind pierces through the air, bringing with it a slightly piercing sound.

Lu Yuan\'s figure jumps on boulders and trees, swinging his palms up and down, turning like a phantom, elusive, and difficult to trace.

After a while, the numerous palm shadows in the sky disperse, and he swings out a fist, hitting a tree with a boom.

The tree trembles violently, and countless snow and leaves fall from the sky.

He finishes his exercise, but the tree trunk, where he struck, has shattered bark and a clearly visible palm print.

"It\'s still not enough. Even if I\'ve practiced the Submerging Water Technique to perfection, my current palm strength is still not enough to penetrate an inch into the wood and leave a handprint on the trunk."

Looking at the traces left by him, Lu Yuan slowly exhales, his eyes calm, and he has already considered in his heart, "As I thought, in the end, I still need to cultivate the Mental Technique and develop Inner Strength."

As he speaks, his consciousness has already gathered in his mind.

[Name: Lu Yuan]

[Talent: Immortality]

[Age: 17]

[Realm: Innate (Not in the Stream)]

[Martial Arts: Cloud Palm (Not yet started)]

[Skills: Hunting Traps (Completed) Simple Swordsmanship (Perfect) Simple Archery (Perfect)]

He lowers his eyes to the martial arts section of the Cloud Palm, and in an instant, many sub-sections appear below it.

[Palm skill: Submerging Water Technique (Perfect)]

[Mental Technique: Hand\'s Taiyin Lung Meridian (Not yet started)]

During this period, after he researched thoroughly how to practice the first regular meridian, this new subsection suddenly appeared in the attribute interface.

As for this, Lu Yuan guessed that it should be because his understanding of the Hand\'s Taiyin Lung Meridian was already sufficient, so even though he hadn\'t started cultivating the Internal Cultivation Method yet, it still showed up in the martial arts interface.

This could be considered as a small exploration of his golden finger.

However, with this already known information, he just took a glance and moved on directly, his eyes returning to the realm level.

After practicing martial arts for so long, Lu Yuan gradually came to understand the various realms of martial artists.

According to the information he knew so far and the various martial arts novels he had read in his previous life, the martial arts realm in this world should be divided into two major aspects.

The first is the Houtian Realm, mainly practicing various meridians, such as the twelve main meridians and the eight bizarre meridians.

As these meridians slowly become unblocked, the martial artist\'s Inner Strength increases, and the realm gradually improves.

The specific divisions of the realm should have three streams, two streams, one stream, and so on.

However, he didn\'t know how many meridians needed to be refined in order to reach the requirements of these small realms.

He could only slowly verify it later.

And the second realm should be Innate.

Although Lu Yuan had read many descriptions of the Innate Realm in martial arts novels, he had never really come into contact with it in this world.

Cloud Palm technique was too low-level and didn\'t involve any innate content.

Even Xiantian Realm was just a speculation by Lu Yuan himself, and no one knew whether it was true or not.

"Forget it, why think so much? I will slowly explore the Jianghu once I learn Cloud Palm and have the means to protect myself."

Lu Yuan shook his head, walked to the nearby stream, washed his face, and then sat down on a large blue stone next to it.

At this time, a small stove was set up on the blue stone, with a teapot boiling on the stove. The tea fragrance floated out under the heat.

Holding the handle with a cotton cloth, Lu Yuan poured himself a cup of hot tea, took a sip, and felt the cold instantly dissipate.

He then took the skewered rabbit meat that had been cleaned from the side of the blue stone and started roasting it on the stove.

Although practicing martial arts is important, enjoying life is also important in the long run.

Lu Yuan\'s life is very long. Although he is still a beginner in terms of longevity, he has already begun adapting and planning for his long life.

In order not to let himself be driven by his endless lifespan to self-destruction due to mental problems, cultivating some interests and hobbies would make a great adjustment.

Martial arts, life, and cooking alike.

After more than a year of practice, Lu Yuan\'s roasting skills had become excellent, particularly after he found several spices in the mountains and solved the dilemma of only having salt for seasoning his dishes; his skills had improved immensely.

The rabbit meat, which Lu Yuan had eaten countless times, was now quickly processed under his exquisite skills.

The golden color was pleasing to the eye, and the dripping oil sizzled on the stove, releasing a rich aroma that stirred one\'s appetite at the first whiff.

He picked up the roasted meat, blew on it, and then took a bite.

As expected, the slightly high temperature left his mouth slightly open and his tongue constantly pushing the meat around to dissipate the heat. But for the sake of deliciousness, he refused to spit it out.

Enjoying the pleasure of striving for good food, Lu Yuan squinted his eyes and smiled happily, slowly thinking to himself: "I have fully understood the route of the Hand\'s Taiyin Lung Meridian and can guarantee no problems. It\'s about time to start practicing the Internal Cultivation Method."

Practicing only moves, no matter how good, was still not considered good enough.

He had been practicing martial arts for half a year, and his realm remained no better than mediocre, which was extremely embarrassing.

He should at least cultivate his inner strength first.

Even though he would only be practicing one meridian, cultivating Internal Strength would still keep him mediocre.

But, having Inner Strength is not the same as having none, right?

"To practice Internal Strength, I need a new prescription, which means I need to buy new herbs." Thinking of this, Lu Yuan felt a headache building.

Some time ago, he spent more than two silver tales on a batch of herbs to help him practice his palm skill.

During the entire six months of practicing the Submerging Water Technique, he had to purchase herbs every month, spending almost twenty silver tales.

In the past year, although Lu Yuan had earned some silver through hunting, it only amounted to eight tales, less than half of his expenses and the extra money had to be deducted from his savings.

Now, his savings had been reduced to less than fifteen silver tales through continuous consumption.

"The medicines needed for cultivating internal strength are more expensive than those needed for practicing moves. According to the current market price, it will cost five silver tales a month to supply the medicinal consumption for cultivation. My savings can only support it for up to three months."

It is said that practice makes perfect.

Although Lu Yuan was not ill, he often needed to go to the pharmacy to buy herbs for practicing martial arts. Gradually, he became very familiar with the various medicines\' properties and prices.

He had been paying attention to this before, so he knew the approximate cost after calculating it now.
