The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Ning Fengzhi had returned from Heaven Dou City after attending the Emperor Xue Ye's birthday banquet. Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were by his side.
After Ninth Elder returned, he recounted the entire journey in detail, especially the part where Yang Xiong ventured deep into the Poison Array.
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo remained expressionless throughout, but the smile on Ning Fengzhi's face gradually disappeared, and his expression became somewhat serious.
"Ninth Elder, you've worked hard this time. The Poison Array you mentioned should be the rumored Herb Garden of Dugu Bo in Sunset Forest. Have you cleaned up the loose ends?"
Ninth Elder nodded, "Reporting to Sect Leader, I have removed all traces on the periphery. Even Dugu Bo will absolutely not be able to find any clues. However, I was unable to go deep into the Poison Array."
Ning Fengzhi then smiled, "You've worked hard this time, Elder. You should rest well for a while."
Ninth Elder didn't waste any words and left directly. Only Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo remained.
Ning Fengzhi thought for a long time before speaking, "Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, what do you think of Yang Xiong's training this time, especially his venturing deep into Dugu Bo's Herb Garden?"
Bone Douluo thought carefully before speaking, "Fengzhi, Yang Xiong has always been very cautious in his actions. This time, he actually went deep into the Poison Array set up by that old monster Dugu Bo. He must have received some information. There must be something he wants in Dugu Bo's Herb Garden, and it is absolutely crucial."
Ning Fengzhi nodded, "Yang Xiong has never shown off over the years, and he has even been very cautious every time he contributes to the sect. His contributions to the sect are enough for us to specifically plan anything for him. It seems there is something different in Dugu Bo's Herb Garden, which is why he was willing to take such a great risk."
"You should know that this kid has always hidden an External Soul Bone, and he hasn't even revealed a single Soul Skill. This shows how cautious this kid is in his actions."
Bone Douluo seemed a little angry when he heard this, "What is this kid hiding? If he had told me to handle it, he wouldn't have needed to use so many methods, let alone take such a great risk. A mere Dugu Bo is not worth us putting in so much effort."
"Fengzhi, should I arrange for Yang Xiong to come over and question him personally? I always feel like this kid is hiding some secret."
Ning Fengzhi was silent for a moment before speaking, "Forget it. As long as Yang Xiong is loyal to our sect, his little secrets will be exposed sooner or later. We don't need to bother with his little thoughts. If Dugu Bo finds out one day, then I'll trouble Uncle Sword to go and deter him. At most, we'll pay a small price."
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo both nodded, clearly acquiescing to Ning Fengzhi's statement. Of course, they also looked down on the weakest Titled Douluo, Dugu Bo.
In the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well, Dugu Bo looked at the devastated ground, appearing extremely grief-stricken.
"Which bastard stole my medicinal herbs? If I find out, I will definitely let you taste the pain of Biphosphorus Snake Venom and make your whole family die cleanly."
At this moment, the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well was extremely miserable. All the medicinal herbs had been dug up completely, and even the entire ground seemed to have been dug up in a circle. The things underground were all dug up completely, not even a root was left. Even the Poisonous Herbs that Dugu Bo himself planted were not left.
Dugu Bo's face was a little distorted, but he quickly calmed down. The location of the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well was special, and there was also the Poison Array he had set up outside. Even a Soul Douluo could not break in, only a Titled Douluo could enter.
Not to mention the Poisonous Herbs in the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well, especially the two Poisonous Herbs, one white and one red, which even he himself could not approach. It must have been done by a Titled Douluo. However, the number of Titled Douluo in the world was very small, and basically every Titled Douluo could not move easily. Only the Titled Douluo of the Spirit Hall had time to enter this Ice Fire Yin Yang Well, especially his arch-nemesis, Chrysanthemum Douluo, who was the most suspicious.
Dugu Bo's eyes were about to split, "Chrysanthemum Pass, Spirit Hall, this matter will absolutely not be settled like this. This old man will absolutely not let it go."
Spirit Hall: ...
After Yang Xiong returned home and greeted his parents, he cultivated alone in his room and had not left the room for many days.
During this Ice Fire Body Tempering, Yang Xiong experienced extreme pain, especially as his body and Martial Soul seemed to undergo a transformation in this pain, as if he felt some unknown thing in his body.
That was the Meridians, which was the real route map during Meditation.
In the Douluo world, there was no concept of Meridians, especially in Douluo I, there were only some relatively simple Meditation methods.
But Tang San's Mystic Heaven Skill was completely different. It operated through the Meridians, and its efficiency was far above the current Meditation methods.
And Yang Xiong, after being subjected to the effects of the extreme Ice and Fire Poison attributes this time, understood his body better, especially since the Ice and Fire Poison seemed to impact the Meridians from beginning to end, and the entire Meridians seemed to have expanded in a circle.
And Yang Xiong, through the effect of the Ice and Fire Poison, thought of an alternative method for cultivation.
The power of Ice and Fire, in a sense, can also be called the power of Yin and Yang. In order to balance the power of Ice and Fire in the five internal organs and six external organs, the Soul Power must continuously and rapidly circulate within the body, eventually forming a certain balance. This was the solution Yang Xiong came up with when he was in extreme pain in the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well.
In the end, Yang Xiong thought of a word from his previous life—Tai Chi.
In any martial arts world, the Daoist Sect holds an undisputed leadership position, and Tai Chi is known as the pinnacle of the Daoist Sect.
In his previous life on Earth, although Yang Xiong didn't have much research into martial arts, he had some exposure to Tai Chi. People practiced Tai Chi everywhere in parks, and it was even detailed in various TV shows and movies. Yang Xiong was taken by his grandfather to learn for a few days, but he always felt that Tai Chi had no effect, so he didn't delve deeper.
Now, looking at it again, Tai Chi might not be suitable for combat, especially not for combat in the Soul Master world, but for meditation in the Soul Master world, it's another level entirely.
Thinking of this, Yang Xiong casually performed the Tai Chi Fist from his previous life. Perhaps because of the Ice Fire Body Tempering, performing it now felt completely different from his previous life.
Performing a set of Tai Chi Fist felt very natural, especially the soul power throughout his body, which seemed to be guided during the process of practicing Tai Chi Fist, surging invisibly.
He remembered seeing various introductions about Tai Chi in his previous life. Legend has it that by practicing Tai Chi, one can harmonize the Yin and Yang energies within the body and enhance physical flexibility and coordination. In terms of combat, Tai Chi Gong uses softness to overcome hardness and stillness to control movement, skillfully neutralizing the opponent's attacks. At the same time, it can promote blood circulation and improve bodily functions. It is a Daoist profound skill that combines fitness and health preservation.
Yang Xiong originally didn't believe in this aspect, but now he somewhat did, especially since Tang San's Mystic Heaven Skill could be cultivated in the Douluo Master world, then Tai Chi must also be feasible, and perhaps even stronger.
He originally wanted to write about Baji Quan, but Tai Chi Fist seems to be more widely spread, and he learned a little bit when he was young. Moreover, Tai Chi is the true treasure and pinnacle passed down by the ancestors, and even laymen would learn a little.
