The Villain's Counterattack

Chapter 561: Sun Simiao, Taoist Doctor

"The Xiaoyao Sect your master belongs to is overly aesthetic, very different from me, a sloppy Taoist who values ​​practicality. The Nine Yin Manual inherited by me is equally profound." A man beside the sloppy Taoist said with a smile, "Your master only told me not to teach you martial arts moves and internal skills, but I do have some special little tricks."

"For example, the evasive Snake and Tanuki techniques."

"For example, the muscle-constricting and bone-shrinking technique that can shrink all the muscles and bones in the body into a tiny ball."

"For example, the secret of holding your breath for a long time without breathing."

Kou and Xu's eyes lit up when they heard this. They flew over and were about to hug his thigh, but were whipped away by the sloppy old Taoist. He said lazily, "I'll give you two choices. Either call me Grandpa Zhang obediently, or make a delicious meal that will satisfy me. It's your choice."

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at each other and raised two fingers at the same time: "Let's choose the second one."

The sloppy old Taoist glanced at them and curled his lips. "Don't look at me as a sloppy old Taoist. I am very particular about food. The Baozi sister you two know can only barely satisfy me. You should think carefully before answering."

Kou Zhong scratched his nose, smiled, and glanced at him. "Old Master Zhang, we've known each other for a while now. You've always claimed to be on equal footing with our master, but when it comes to martial arts, you have to admit that the Xiaoyao Sect's is more advanced and powerful. Do you think we're fools? Calling you Grandpa lets you take advantage of our master?"

Xu Ziling said seriously, "Old Master, you have done us a favor. We two are deeply grateful. However, there are some principles that we must uphold. If we kowtow and accept the thief as our father just for a few martial arts secrets, in the future... Ouch, old master, stop it. A gentleman should use words, not fists!"

Kou and Xu flattered the sloppy old Taoist for a while, and finally extinguished his non-existent anger. They flattered him again and then asked about the Qinggong they had longed for, which was a necessary condition for escape.

"If we talk about light-body kung fu, the strongest in the world has to be your master's Xiaoyao Yufeng, who can fly in the air without any martial arts skills, and the second is the Evil King Shi Zhixuan. His phantom body skills are unique in the martial arts world. He has escaped from the four great monks and the wanderer Ning Daoqi many times, and is the world's number one escape expert." There was a hint of teasing in the words of the sloppy old Taoist, and then he continued.

"Generally speaking, masters, let alone masters, even innate and first-rate fighters, all possess excellent light-body skills. Most masters have their own unique light-body skills. My Tiyunzong, also known as Zongyunti, emphasizes a light body and the ability to move freely up and down. It doesn't rely on changing footwork to confuse the opponent, but is a true light-body skill."

"There's also the Drunken Monk's "Crossing the River on a Reed," the Sword Demon Dugu Qiubai's "Spiral Nine Shadows," and Yue Buqun's "Gentleman's Journey of Thousand Miles." These are all top-notch Qinggong techniques, but they each emphasize different things. Besides these, the more vulgarly named "Flying on the Grass" and "Floating on the Water" Qinggong techniques are also quite impressive and considered top-notch in the martial arts world. Your master has a collection of them."

The sloppy old Taoist priest recounted all kinds of unique skills, making Kou and Xu drool. They looked at the sloppy old Taoist priest eagerly, but he kicked them away. "If you want to learn skills, why don't you hurry up and make delicious food? You don't have any delicious food to show off, and you still want to learn unique skills from the old Taoist priest? Haha..."

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at each other, and there was a glint of determination in their eyes. For the sake of the unique skills and to dominate the martial arts world as soon as possible, they must learn how to cook!

What's more, the sloppy old man is indeed a gourmet. He can make them eat with just a few pointers. What's more, the bun sister Feng Zhenzhen will come over every ten days or half a month, bringing some delicious pastries and giving some pointers.

It has to be said that a genius is a genius. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling happened to be at the prime age for learning. In just two months, not only did they lay an exceptionally solid foundation in martial arts, but their cooking skills were also barely satisfactory to the sloppy old Taoist priest, who passed down several good techniques.

On this day, Kou and Xu prepared breakfast as usual and walked to the familiar big tree. They looked up but did not see the familiar figure. Instead, there was a vine with a piece of wood attached to it, swaying in the wind, which made them feel a little painful just by looking at it.

"The food is too bad, so I'm leaving. You've just completed your foundation, so be careful not to be arrogant or impatient. The sloppy old Taoist will stay!" Kou Zhong looked at the two lines of crooked inscriptions. Xu Ziling narrowed his eyes and wiped them away. A new line of small words appeared beneath the inscriptions: "Boys, don't be too proud. Your master has only just completed the first phase of the basic training. Next...

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were feeling a mixture of sadness, excitement, reluctance and secret joy. Suddenly, they saw Qi Qi turn around and jump away. Not far away in the open space, there was a middle-aged Taoist priest wearing a green Taoist robe and carrying a basket on his back, looking at them with a smile.

When did he appear?

Why did he appear beside them silently without them even noticing?

Another Taoist master!!!

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were no longer ignorant mortals at this moment. Their internal strength could be considered second-rate even in the martial arts world, and their spiritual perception was even more superior. Even the sloppy old Taoist was amazed. He never thought that his pride would be shattered by a strange old Taoist just a few days later.

The Taoist priest looked at the two of them, a satisfied smile on his face as he said, "I am Sun Simiao, also known as Miaoying. I am a Taoist doctor. I was asked by Immortal Xiaoyao to take care of these two Taoist disciples."

Kou and Xu looked at each other, and Kou Zhong suddenly asked, "Excuse me, is this the Taoist Master Miaoying, the Taoist Master known as the Medicine King of Baishan, who once refused to serve in the imperial court and devoted himself to medicine?"

Upon receiving the visitor's acknowledgment, Kou and Xu bowed in unison. Coming from impoverished families, they held little reverence for the emperor, but held a deep reverence for the true healer, Miao Ying Zhenren, who traveled extensively throughout the world to provide aid. From the slovenly old Taoist's words, they also learned about the many aspiring Taoists who, though unknown in the martial arts world, possessed formidable strength and aspirations.

They do not seek fame or fortune, but they truly work hard for the common people. Among them, Miaoying Zhenren, who is over fifty years old, is the best. Putting aside other things, his medical skills are unmatched in a century.

After hearing the flattery from Kou and Xu, Miao Ying Zhenren shook his head and said modestly, "The world is vast and full of wonders. There are always people who are better than you and there are always things beyond your reach. The art of medicine is vast and boundless. I dare not presume to be superior. Not to mention others, even your master, Zhenren Xiaoyao, is as skilled in medicine as I am."

"The Xiaoyao Sect has a vast heritage, encompassing medicine, divination, astrology, music, chess, calligraphy, painting, mechanical work, trade, migration, planting, drinking and singing, riddles, the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, Qimen Dunjia, farmland irrigation, economics, and military strategy. They are well-versed in everything and possess expertise in everything. I am truly fortunate to have befriended your master and witnessed the true inheritance of medicine. And you two young friends are blessed to have not only been able to become disciples of Xiaoyao Zhenren, but also to have received the true teachings of the 'Eternal Life Secret'. Your future achievements are limitless."

"Your master has an appointment with the evil king Shi Zhixuan and cannot appear in the Central Plains for the time being, so he has entrusted me to take care of you two. Master Zhang is also very impressed by you two young friends. I have seen that you are truly extraordinary today. I wonder if you two young friends would like to study medicine with me?"

Kou and Xu were overjoyed, but they couldn't help asking in detail. Miaoying Zhenren said that he was not their master after all, and the time he promised to teach was only three months, but there was no limit. He was not like the sloppy old Taoist who would not teach this or that.

The two asked again about the method of invisibility used by Miaoying Zhenren. Miaoying Zhenren could not help laughing and said, "There is no such thing as invisibility. It's just the method of the Huangtian Dafa that I learned from the Taoist to integrate myself into the heaven and the earth through the communication between heaven and man." Hearing this, Kou and Xu's eyes were filled with rage. They wanted to kowtow to him and become his disciple to learn the skills. There was no reluctance at all.

Huang Tian Dafa, this is the magical skill Huang Tian Dafa that is said to be able to shatter the void!
