Chapter 21: Chapter 20: Practice and Consumption

"According to this book, the Cloud Palm is inspired by the flowing clouds and water, a superior palm skill with continuous movements like water and elusive unpredictability like mist."

Under the red glow of firewood, Lu Yuan flipped through the general outline of the secret book in his hands and read the content on it: "This set of palm skills contains eighty-one moves, covering defense, offense, ambush, and the use of palm strength.

It can be said that it covers everything and encompasses all.

Moreover, in addition to these moves, the skill also comes with an Internal Cultivation Method that can train the six meridians in the human body, namely Hand's Three Yin Meridians and Hand's Three Yang Meridians."

According to the book, the Internal Cultivation Method is divided into three levels. The first level trains the Hand's Taiyin Lung Meridian and Hand's Yangming Large Intestine Meridian."

Once these two meridians are trained, one can generate Inner Strength, and when combined with the palm skill, their strength will be enough to rank among the third-rate in the Jianghu."

The second level trains the pericardium meridian and the triple energizer meridian. When these two meridians are trained, one's strength can reach the peak of the third-rate in the Jianghu.

Then he could be considered a martial arts expert in the outside world."

The third level trains the heart meridian and Hand's Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian. Once these two meridians are trained, it will connect the Hand's Three Yin Meridians and Hand's Three Yang Meridians."

By then, the Inner Strength in the body will flow like a stream, and their Inner Strength will reach minor success. In the Jianghu, they would be regarded as a second-rate expert."

A second-rate expert could hold the position of a sect leader in some small sects and schools."

After flipping through the entire book, Lu Yuan closed it, feeling somewhat disappointed in his heart.

Although the Cloud Palm looked quite impressive, not only with its brilliant palm skills and accompanying Inner Strength cultivation method, it was considered powerful.

Yet even so, it cannot conceal the fact that it can only train the six primary meridians in the body."

Lu Yuan knew that there were twelve primary meridians and eight bizarre meridians in the human body.

Having read numerous martial arts novels and watched TV dramas, he was equally aware that the truly superior Internal Cultivation Method can train all twelve primary meridians and eight bizarre meridians.

However, the internal method in his Cloud Palm can only train six of the primary meridians, not even all twelve."

"So, the Cloud Palm is indeed as it is described, just a second-rate palm skill, and the highest level it can reach is the second-rate."

Lu Yuan concluded with a speechless heart: "As expected, just like its name, this skill is not that remarkable."

Sigh!

With a slight disappointment, Lu Yuan put away the book and opened the pot.

The rabbit meat and rice inside had cooked for a long time and were already cooked.

The cuisine with little seasoning would not taste too good.

Fortunately, having gotten used to this kind of life, his demand for food had been reduced to merely filling his stomach.

After finishing his dinner, he reluctantly started to clean the stove and utensils.

Cooking and eating, these were the most annoying parts.

Compared to having to deal with ingredients and clean kitchen utensils by himself, Lu Yuan preferred to eat ready-made meals prepared by others.

Unfortunately, under such current conditions, he had to do all these tasks himself.

"Perhaps I should consider finding someone to propose marriage, and bring a wife home to cook for me?"

While washing the basin, Lu Yuan rubbed it with one hand as his mind couldn't help but wander.

Having been single for more than half a year and now being a young man full of vitality, it would be purely false to say that he had no physiological needs.

"No, no, I can't do this."

However, this idea had just emerged for a moment before it was quickly snuffed out because he thought of one thing.

According to the logic of martial arts novels, some secret Divine Skills have requirements for practitioners to maintain their pure Yang or Yin bodies, and if they are not virgins, they cannot practice them at all.

Although he didn't know if it was the same in this world, just to be cautious, he should remain a virgin until he reaches the Great Achievement in martial arts."

"Anyway, I have an infinite lifespan. I can spend a few hundred years practicing divine skills until I become unrivaled in the world.

Once the safety issue is resolved, I will have thousands and tens of thousands of endless years to find the female heroines, demonesses, rich young ladies, and Imperial Celestial Ladies in the martial arts world and try them one by one.

At that time, I will have a huge harem..."

Thinking about that wonderful scene, he couldn't help but chuckle."

...

The night was deep, and Lu Yuan did not follow his usual habit of going to bed immediately. Instead, he lit a lamp he made from animal fat and took out the secret book of the Cloud Palm to continue his night reading."

Although he had read the outline of this skill, he still hadn't thoroughly studied the specific details of the cultivation, the precautions during practice, the techniques of using various moves, the corresponding prescriptions, and the annotations on the skill itself."

Although the Cloud Palm has only more than twenty thousand words and more than a hundred practice diagrams, the content is extremely rich."

Take the palm moves, for example, there are a total of eighty-one moves, each with a diagram and more than a hundred words of explanation."

In just a hundred words, the explanation needs to clarify how to practice the move and the precautions during use, the techniques of exerting force, how to coordinate inner strength with palm skills, etc.

The text is concise, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it speaks volumes."

For Lu Yuan, it meant that he had to study the meaning behind these classical texts, summarize a feasible solution and then slowly experiment on his own."

He couldn't afford to be careless in the slightest."

After all, it involved the body's meridians, and any mistake could result in damage to the body."
