Chapter 27: The Matter Is Settled

“Third Brother, that’s simply too unbelievable. He’s only a child. He’s probably been practicing martial arts for only a year or two. Him? He created an advanced foundational cultivation method like this?”

Song Yuanqiao shook his head in disbelief.

“I didn’t believe it either when I first learned the truth. But that’s exactly what happened. My young disciple created it by studying Master’s Basic Internal Art and combining it with the sensations he experienced after taking a Qi Gathering Pill. He had always wanted to create a cultivation method that could achieve the same effect as a Qi Gathering Pill. As for how he managed to do it… I have no idea. But somehow, he really succeeded.”

Yu Daiyan smiled as he explained.

Looking at his fellow brothers’ astonished expressions, his own face was filled with unmistakable pride.

The four brothers exchanged glances before carefully recalling the feeling of taking a Qi Gathering Pill.

For them, that pill had long since become too weak to be of much use.

It had been many years since any of them had taken one.

Yin Liting frowned as he thought for a while before finally nodding.

“Now that you mention it… The feeling really is remarkably similar. Not long ago, I ran out of Pure Origin Pills and had to take a few Qi Gathering Pills instead. Thinking back on it now, the sensation was almost identical to using this cultivation method.”

Yin Liting’s confirmation finally convinced the others.

Their eyes once again settled on Lin Yang.

The disbelief remained…

But now it was mixed with deep admiration.

“You’re Qingyang, aren’t you? At your age… How exactly did you create this cultivation method?”

Mo Shenggu crouched down in front of Lin Yang, speaking in an unusually gentle voice.

At this moment, his curiosity was driving him nearly mad.

Shouldn’t a cultivation method like this require someone like their own master—a peerless martial arts grandmaster—to study the very essence of martial arts before eventually creating such a foundational technique?

People often assumed that basic techniques were easier to create.

But the opposite was true.

A foundational cultivation method required extraordinary versatility.

It formed the very cornerstone of an entire sect’s martial arts system—and perhaps even that of the entire martial world.

Creating such a technique was far more difficult than creating an advanced cultivation method.

“I… I don’t really know.”

Lin Yang spoke softly.

“I just kept thinking about it… And somehow, I ended up creating it.”

Even he hadn’t expected the cultivation method he created to cause such a massive stir among the Wudang Seven Heroes.

If he were to reveal the remaining two versions of the technique…

He couldn’t even imagine how shocked everyone here would be.

Seeing their current reactions only convinced him that revealing those versions was a terrible idea.

Otherwise… They would probably treat him like some kind of monster.

Then again… Judging from their expressions now, he wasn’t very far from that already.

Hearing Lin Yang’s answer, the corners of everyone’s mouths twitched.

Could such a profound cultivation method really be created so casually?

It completely overturned everything they believed.

“Enough. The cultivation method is here. There’s no point dwelling on how it was created. Perhaps… It was bestowed by Heaven.”

Yu Lianzhou, who had remained silent until now, finally spoke.

“Bestowed by Heaven…”

Song Yuanqiao quietly repeated the words before nodding deeply.

“Perhaps that’s exactly what it is. Heaven wishes for Wudang to flourish… So it used Qingyang’s hands to bring this cultivation method into the world.”

Yin Liting and Mo Shenggu immediately nodded in agreement.

Even Yu Daiyan showed a trace of approval.

After all, the appearance of such an extraordinary foundational cultivation method in Lin Yang’s hands was almost impossible to explain.

Compared to that… The idea that Heaven had chosen Lin Yang as its messenger seemed far more reasonable.

“Third Brother. And Qingyang. No matter what, this cultivation method will be of tremendous importance to Wudang. Within just a few years, our sect’s strength will multiply. As the Sect Leader of Wudang… I thank both of you.”

As he spoke, Song Yuanqiao gave Yu Daiyan and Lin Yang a deep bow.

“Eldest Brother, you mustn’t do that.”

Yu Daiyan hurriedly shook his head.

Lin Yang also quickly stepped aside.

He couldn’t possibly accept such a gesture from Song Yuanqiao.

“It’s only right.”

Song Yuanqiao straightened up.

“Third Brother, Qingyang will certainly receive the rewards he deserves. As for you… Your elder brother has failed you. I still have no way to heal your injuries…”

“Eldest Brother, don’t blame yourself.

I’ve long since grown accustomed to it.

Perhaps this is how I’ll spend the rest of my life.

I don’t need any reward.

I grew up on Wudang Mountain.

This place is my home.

Contributing to my own home is only natural.

But Qingyang’s reward…

You absolutely must not neglect that.”

“Don’t worry. Qingyang will receive everything he deserves.”

Song Yuanqiao smiled as he looked toward Lin Yang.

“Tell me. What do you want? As long as it isn’t the stars in the sky… Your Martial Uncle will find a way to get it for you.”

The other brothers laughed as well.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yang raised his head.

“Martial Uncle… I’ve been studying medicine and alchemy recently. In the future, I’d like to refine medicinal pills. The reward I hope for is simple. Whenever I need them… Please provide me with medicinal herbs and alchemy equipment.”

“You still want to study alchemy?”

Mo Shenggu cried out dramatically, staring at Lin Yang in amazement.

He had never imagined that this young martial nephew—after creating such a profound cultivation method—would also choose to pursue the equally profound art of alchemy.

Was this really something a child his age could accomplish?

At that moment, Song Yuanqiao suddenly realized something.

He exchanged a solemn glance with Yu Lianzhou.

The two silently nodded.

“It seems we need to begin gathering more medicinal herbs as soon as possible.

Once this cultivation method is passed down…

The sect’s demand for medicinal pills will increase tremendously.”

“You’re right, Eldest Brother. We should start preparing immediately.”

After saying that, Song Yuanqiao turned back toward Lin Yang.

“Don’t worry, Qingyang. Whatever herbs you require, your Martial Uncle will gather them for you. Wudang Mountain has more than enough resources to support your studies in alchemy.”

“Thank you, Martial Uncle.”

Lin Yang respectfully bowed.

“Now that everything has been settled… It’s time for me to return.”

Yu Daiyan saw that there was nothing left to discuss.

He signaled Qingyuan and Qing Liang to carry him away.

“Very well, Third Brother. There are too many matters to deal with today, so I won’t keep you here. I must report this wonderful news to Master. He should know that Wudang has gained not only a supreme foundational cultivation method… But also an extraordinary genius among our third-generation disciples.”

Song Yuanqiao had plenty to do, so he did not ask Yu Daiyan to stay.

“Very well. Please greet Master on my behalf. Tell him that even a cripple like me… Can still contribute something to Wudang.”

Yu Daiyan smiled with emotion.

“Third Brother, don’t say that.”

Yin Liting looked at him earnestly.

“None of us has ever regarded you as a cripple.Neither has Master.You have always been an irreplaceable part of Wudang.”

Yu Daiyan looked around at his four brothers.

Seeing the encouragement in each of their eyes, warmth filled his heart.

He nodded firmly.

“I know.Let’s go.”

Qingyuan and Qing Liang lifted Yu Daiyan’s reclining chair once more.

Together with Lin Yang, they quietly departed from the Hall of Zhenwu.
