Li Yao smiled and said, "Third Brother Yu, you are mistaken. This Black Jade Rejuvenating Ointment was hard-won, and it was obtained at the cost of the lives of many brothers in our sect. Our Ming Cult is not a charity."
Wei Yixiao, who was standing to the side, almost burst out laughing. The sect leader obtained the Black Jade Rejuvenating Ointment with very little effort, and there were only the two of them that day. How could there be any claim that many brothers in the sect were lost?
Yu Daiyan wanted to say something more, but Zhang Sanfeng interrupted him with a smile, saying, "Daiyan, you don't need to say anything more."
Then, he turned his gaze to Li Yao and said, "The Tartars have been acting perversely and oppressing our Han people for a long time. Even if Master Li didn't say it, as a Han Chinese, I should do my part to overthrow the Mongol Yuan tyranny. As for exchanging martial arts skills, it is exactly what I want. It is common for martial artists to exchange skills. Moreover, Master Li is so young, yet his martial arts skills are so profound. I would also like to learn from Master Li's martial arts skills."
Li Yao laughed and said, "Master Zhang is indeed straightforward. Without further ado, let me treat Yu Sanxia's legs first!"
Yu Daiyan nodded excitedly.
Li Yao said to Yu Daiyan, "Third Master Yu, your old injury has healed. If you want to treat it, you must first break your bones again and then treat the broken bones. Can you endure the pain?"
Yu Daiyan gritted his teeth and said, "It doesn't matter. I have suffered too much in the past twenty years. I can still endure this little bit of pain."
Li Yao nodded and said, "Okay, let's begin."
Subsequently, Li Yao first pressed Yu Daiyan's sleeping acupoint, and then used his powerful Vajra Finger to break Yu Daiyan's healed broken bone again.
Even though the pressure point was pressed to induce sleep, Yu Daiyan was still awakened by excruciating pain.
Afterwards, Li Yao applied the Black Jade Bone-Mending Ointment to the broken bone, wrapped it with bandages, and used acupuncture to relieve the pain.
Li Yao's technique was swift and skillful; the treatment was completed in no time.
Next, Yu Daiyan only needs to rest.
Seeing Li Yao's skillful technique, Zhang Sanfeng couldn't help but exclaim, "I never expected that Master Li is also so proficient in medicine."
Chapter 116 Battle with Zhang Sanfeng, A Treasure Trove of Attributes
The training ground of the Wudang Sect.
Li Yao stood tall in the arena like a mountain.
Zhang Sanfeng stroked his white beard, stood opposite Li Yao, and wore a faint smile.
Apart from these two people, there was no other person present.
Therefore, no third party will know the result of today's competition.
Li Yao cupped his hands in greeting to Zhang Sanfeng and said, "Master Zhang, you are the senior, please make the first move."
Zhang Sanfeng said calmly, "In recent years, I have created a set of boxing techniques called 'Tai Chi Chuan'. I feel that it is quite different from ordinary martial arts. Since Master Li wants to exchange martial arts skills with me, I will use Tai Chi Chuan to test my skills against Master Li."
Li Yao thought to himself: I've been waiting for your Tai Chi. I wonder how Tai Chi can use slowness to overcome speed and softness to overcome hardness.
He said, "I'd like to experience Master Zhang's divine skills."
Immediately, he concentrated and held his breath, his true energy secretly circulating, and his bones crackled and popped continuously.
Zhang Sanfeng felt a chill run down his spine.
He sensed that the true energy emanating from Li Yao was pure and profound, as if he were practicing the highest level of martial arts from the orthodox Buddhist tradition, without a trace of evil.
He thought to himself: This person's internal strength is so profound, I wonder if my Tai Chi can handle him?
Immediately, he used the Tai Chi move "Grasp the Sparrow's Tail," with his right foot firmly planted and his left foot relaxed, employing the "squeeze" technique to unleash horizontal force.
Zhang Sanfeng was unaware that Li Yao was cultivating the Great Dao True Qi.
The Tao gives birth to all things, and the Tao exists in all things, manifesting in nature in countless forms.
Therefore, Li Yao's Dao True Qi can be transformed at will.
When he prepared to unleash Buddhist martial arts, his entire body naturally emitted Buddhist internal energy.
Li Yao unleashed a powerful "Great Subduing Demon Fist" with his right hand, aiming it at Zhang Sanfeng's chest.
At the same time, he flipped his left hand into a palm and unleashed a "Great Vajra Palm" attack on Zhang Sanfeng's face.
Both the Great Subduing Demon Fist and the Mighty Vajra Palm are powerful, domineering, and capable of unleashing extremely sharp energy from a distance.
Zhang Sanfeng's expression changed slightly. With a move called "Playing the Lute," he used a pure and refined internal force to barely neutralize Li Yao's energy.
Immediately, he made a circle with both hands, as if embracing Tai Chi, and an incomparably powerful force formed a vortex that surrounded Li Yao.
Ignoring Zhang Sanfeng's vortex of energy, Li Yao continued to use his right hand's "Great Subduing Demon Fist" and his left hand's "Great Vajra Palm" simultaneously, attacking Zhang Sanfeng's vital points.
He thought to himself: No matter how Zhang Sanfeng tries to use slowness to overcome speed and softness to overcome hardness, he cannot stop two different styles of kung fu from attacking at the same time.
As expected, Zhang Sanfeng was unable to think of a way to counter such a strange fighting style for a while.
Therefore, he had no choice but to demonstrate each of the Tai Chi moves.
Single Whip, Raising Hands Posture, White Crane Spreads Wings, Embracing Knee and Hooking Step, Playing the Lute, Advancing and Blocking Hammer, As If Sealing and Closing, Cross Hands, Embracing the Tiger Returning to the Mountain...
With his exquisite techniques and profound internal energy cultivation, Zhang Sanfeng managed to barely deflect Li Yao's two fierce attacks.
Soon, Zhang Sanfeng had performed all the moves of Tai Chi.
However, Li Yao continued to use the same two simple yet domineering techniques, relentlessly attacking.
Zhang Sanfeng was, after all, a grandmaster. Faced with such a novel and strange fighting style, he gradually found a way to break it.
Just as he was about to break Li Yao's fighting style, he was suddenly surprised to find that Li Yao suddenly put his right foot firmly on the ground and his left foot lightly on the ground, and his right palm had already grabbed his left wrist, sticking and adhering, and releasing horizontal force.
Isn't this move the same as the "Grasp the Sparrow's Tail" move in Tai Chi?
How did Li Yao come up with this trick?
Just as Zhang Sanfeng was momentarily stunned, Li Yao's right hand suddenly trembled on Zhang Sanfeng's chest, causing Zhang Sanfeng to stagger back several steps.
Zhang Sanfeng felt his blood and qi churning in his chest and abdomen, and his face turned deathly pale.
He quickly circulated his inner energy to suppress the churning blood and qi.
A moment later, his complexion regained its rosy hue.
He exclaimed in surprise, "You... how do you know Tai Chi?"
Li Yao smiled and said, "Of course you taught me!"
Indeed, he has learned Tai Chi by observing Zhang Sanfeng's Tai Chi moves.
Both the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth and the True Scripture of the Great Dao are the culmination of all martial arts principles in the world.
Once you understand one method, you understand all methods!
Moreover, Li Yao had already mastered various martial arts from different schools and schools, and thoroughly understood the principles of various martial arts.
Therefore, as long as Li Yao carefully observes the opponent's martial arts moves, he will be able to learn the opponent's martial arts.
Zhang Sanfeng, however, was somewhat skeptical that Li Yao could learn the kung fu he had spent years creating in such a short time.
So he immediately used the techniques of sticking, guiding, squeezing, and pressing in Tai Chi, launching an attack like a mighty river, surging endlessly towards Li Yao.
However, he was surprised to find that Li Yao's moves were exactly the same as his.
Moreover, Li Yao was able to strike first with every move, leaving him somewhat at a loss.
Most importantly, he also discovered that Li Yao had brought out the essence of Tai Chi Chuan's "continuous circular movement" to its fullest extent.
Li Yao struck out with both hands in a circular motion, then circled left and right, one circle after another—large circles, small circles, horizontal circles, vertical circles, straight circles, and diagonal circles—one Tai Chi circle after another was emitted.
This completely stunned Zhang Sanfeng.
Sure enough, Li Yao had already learned Tai Chi.
This person's martial arts talent is simply amazing!
Suddenly, Li Yao used a move called "Cloud Hands" and punched Zhang Sanfeng in the chest.
Zhang Sanfeng pulled his chest back, then suddenly straightened it, trying to deflect Li Yao's punch.
To his surprise, Li Yao's fist seemed to be glued to his chest, and he couldn't throw it out at all.
Immediately, he felt a violent force explode in his chest.
The immense force caused him to stagger backward more than ten steps.
Finally, he managed to stabilize himself only by relying on his profound internal strength.
He stared at Li Yao in horror.
After a long silence, he said sadly, "Master Li's divine skills are unparalleled; this old Taoist has lost."
Li Yao cupped his hands and said, "Master Zhang, you flatter me!"
Zhang Sanfeng couldn't help but exclaim, "I never expected that Master Li would be such a genius. In such a short time, he has mastered the Tai Chi Chuan that I have studied for decades, and even surpassed me in skill. I am ashamed to admit that I am inferior to him."
Li Yao laughed and said, "Master Zhang, you flatter me. I'm just applying what I've learned on the spot!"
At this moment, he discovered that the ground around him was covered with attribute orbs.
As expected of Zhang Sanfeng, he dropped so many attribute orbs; it's practically a treasure trove of attributes.
As Li Yao glanced around, notification sounds began to ring in his mind.
This time, in addition to gaining a lot of true qi and other attributes, he also acquired Wudang kung fu such as Tai Chi swordplay.
To Li Yao's surprise, Zhang Sanfeng also dropped a "True Martial Seven Intercept Formation".
The True Martial Seven-Section Formation is the signature technique of Wudang, requiring seven people to work together to use it, and its power is extremely strong.
Of course, Li Yao doesn't need it now, but he might need it in the future.
Chapter 117 Martial Arts Tournament, Laying the Foundation for Shaolin
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.
Li Yao and Wei Yixiao remained on Wudang Mountain.
Yu Daiyan's bone injury has greatly improved after several treatments by Li Yao, and he can now walk with crutches.
This made Yu Daiyan and Zhang Sanfeng ecstatic.
Yu Daiyan, in particular, originally thought he would be disabled for life and would never be able to walk again.
I never imagined that he could now walk with the help of crutches.
