4: Chapter 4 This is actually a martial arts classic created by Emperor Taizu of Song, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty.

In just the blink of an eye, she has successively achieved a Breakthrough in the three Acquired Realms of Body Strengthening, Bone Strengthening, and Marrow Cleansing, entering the Fetal Breathing Realm directly?

"Could it be that the Young Miss has obtained a legendary opportunity?"

The maidservant had heard many absurd legends like "falling off a cliff and finding treasure" or "saving someone and gaining superb martial arts."

She couldn't help but wonder.

Could it be that Zhao Fangcai is a formidable figure with extremely high martial arts?

Wang Yuyan saved him.

And so he passed on a peerless Internal Skill to Wang Yuyan.

That must be it!

That is the Acquired Fetal Breathing Realm!

Even Young Master Murong of the Swallows Nest has Cultivated hard for many years and only just reached this Realm, right?

Madam Wang is still stuck in the Marrow Cleansing Realm!

The maidservant took a deep breath and walked outside, her gaze toward Zhao Fangcai becoming respectful and polite.

"Sir, my name is You Cao. I was very rude just now; I hope you can forgive me."

Zhao Fangcai said, "It's nothing!"

He glanced inside and said, "Your Young Miss likely won't wake up for a while. Go guard the outside and don't let anyone in to disturb her practice."

You Cao understood that practicing Internal Skill most forbids being disturbed, so she nodded and said, "Alright!"

Zhao Fangcai added, "My presence here shouldn't be publicized. Just say it was your Young Miss's orders."

You Cao didn't find it strange; mysterious experts were always reluctant to show their faces, otherwise, how could they maintain their air of mystery?

With this preconceived notion, every Move Zhao Fangcai made became reasonable in You Cao's eyes.

After You Cao left, Zhao Fangcai began browsing through the Internal Skill Secret Manuals of various Schools in the Langhuan Jade Cave.

Zhao Fangcai had witnessed everything when Wang Yuyan took the Medicinal Pill.

He realized that the medicinal power of the innate pill still required an Internal Skill to be converted.

Otherwise, it would result in over-nourishment, which would be harmful to the body.

For example, Duan Yu was able to absorb the Spiritual Qi of the Vermillion Toad entirely due to the effects of the Northern Darkness Divine Art.

Otherwise, he would have long since exploded and died from the excessive energy in his body.

But he didn't intend to Cultivate the Bixie Sword Manual provided by the System.

This martial art was far too peculiar and strange.

Although there was a joking saying, "Success is possible without castration."

But of those who actually Cultivated it, who didn't end up neither masculine nor feminine, neither man nor woman?

This Cultivation Technique is only suitable for palace eunuchs or for framing others.

Fortunately, in the place where he was now, other things might be scarce, but martial arts Secret Manuals were the one thing not in short supply.

"Why are the Taiqing Protective Aura and the Five Secrets of the Heavenly Dragon from the Kunlun School only incomplete chapters?"

"Do the Hunyuan Yiqi Skill and the Zhan Zhuang Skill of the Shaolin Temple require studying Buddhist scriptures to coordinate with them?"

"The Divine Art of the Crane's Cry in the Nine Heavens from the Qingcheng School?"

Zhao Fangcai looked through them one by one.

Having too many martial arts Secret Manuals was also a headache.

Especially for someone with decision paralysis, it was even more unfriendly.

Zhao Fangcai's gaze swept across the bookshelf labeled "Military Martial Arts," and a booklet caught his eye.

"Oh? The Founding Emperor Fist Canon?"

It turned out to be a martial arts classic created by Emperor Taizu of Song, the founding monarch of the Great Song.

Back then, Emperor Taizu of Song relied on a pair of iron fists and a staff to conquer the vast territory of the Great Song.

Later, the Founding Emperor Fist Canon he created, along with the Taiji Quan of the School, became the most widely circulated martial arts in the Great Song's Martial Forest.

These two styles of boxing became must-practice arts for every soldier and civilian in the Great Song.

The physical fitness Moves Zhao Fangcai practiced during his schooling were the Taizu Long Fist and Taiji Quan.

Calling them the Great Song version of radio calisthenics wouldn't be an exaggeration at all.

In the Jianghu of the Great Song, even those who didn't know martial arts grew familiar with various martial arts Moves just by watching.

"I've heard that the Taizu Long Fist actually has a set of Internal Skill mnemonics to match the strikes; only by combining the two can one develop Internal Energy."

Zhao Fangcai opened the Founding Emperor Fist Canon, and sure enough, he found a record concerning Internal Skill inside.

The Internal Skill Cultivation was a complete success!

Wang Yuyan successfully and completely refined the innate pill, her consciousness returning from the Realm of "emptiness" as she slowly opened her eyes.

Two strange beams of light flashed, illuminating even the dim areas.

Her Internal Energy had become exceptionally profound.

Faintly, the sound of lake waves and the chirping of insects reached her ears.

She felt as if a layer of dust had been wiped off the entire world, making it clearer and more intimate.

She even felt that if she just stood up, she could fly into the sky.

She stood up, and with a light tap of her toes, her body drifted more than ten feet away, her posture as graceful as a Fairy descending from the heavens.

SheThe performance, was a light-body skill she had long since memorized.

To be completely without martial arts yet able to guide numerous Martial Forest figures—in the whole world, only Wang Yuyan could do such a thing!

And now that she possessed the Internal Energy of the Minor Formless Skill...

Those martial arts she had studied showed an unimaginable power in her hands, turning the mundane into the miraculous.

Wang Yuyan steadied herself, quietly feeling her own changes.

"I've already reached the Acquired Fetal Breathing Realm!"

"Is this really the ten-day fatal elixir?"

Her mouth hung slightly open, her heart filled with shock.

"Her movements are as light as a startled swan and as graceful as a swimming Dragon; even a Fairy from Mount Guya would be no more than this."

Zhao Fangcai's voice of admiration drifted over.

Wang Yuyan raised her eyes.

What was clearly a dim stone cave now appeared as bright as day in her eyes.

She saw that bad person looking at her.

He had regular features and a handsome face; compared to her cousin, he had a few more degrees of the refined temperament unique to scholars.

It was just that half-smiling look in his eyes that made Wang Yuyan feel both a bit shy and a bit angry.

Recalling his previous rude treatment and the strange sensation when their skin touched, she felt another surge of indignation and couldn't help but scold softly, "You bad person, what are you laughing at?"

Wang Yuyan's heart suddenly jolted, and she struck out with a palm; the palm wind carried an Aura like the morning glow as her figure drifted before Zhao Fangcai like a vigorous Dragon.

"Miss Wang, don't forget, we made a pinky promise!"

Facing Wang Yuyan's angry palm strike, Zhao Fangcai neither dodged nor blocked.

He simply raised his right hand and shook it; that hooked pinky finger caused Wang Yuyan's figure to pause mid-air.

She was both angry and anxious, not knowing what to do.

A gentleman may use reasonable means to deceive!

Dealing with a young girl like Wang Yuyan, who hadn't seen much of the world, the experienced Zhao Fangcai naturally had plenty of ways.

"Aiya!"

Suddenly, Wang Yuyan gave a startled cry, her body leaning backward as she fell from mid-air.

It turned out it was her first time using Internal Energy, and she had forgotten the taboos of internal martial arts.

Once Internal Energy is deployed, it must never be suddenly interrupted, or one can easily injure oneself.

Her palm hadn't hit a solid target, and the flow of her Internal Energy became obstructed; like a short circuit, she lost her strength in an instant.

"Watch out!"

Zhao Fangcai was quick of hand and eye, stepping forward.
