Chapter 811: It’s Hard to Succeed when the Heart Is Chaotic

The master and apprentice practiced boxing on the mountain. Their movements were the same. They were not very fast and could be clearly seen. There seemed to be no novelty.

Wang Yao’s movements seemed more natural. Zhong Liuchuan seemed slightly stiff in some maneuvers like the pause when a car shifts gears. It didn’t have a smooth and flowy appearance, but it didn’t last long and was gone in a flash.

After practicing two rounds of boxing, Wang Yao stopped and stood aside to watch Zhong Liuchuan practice. After finishing one practice, Wang Yao pointed out several shortcomings. Zhong Liuchuan continued practicing one set of boxing moves 10 times.

“Alright, let’s stop here today,” Wang Yao said.

“Thank you, Sir,” Zhong Liuchuan said

They went down the mountain together. At the foot of Dongshan Mountain, several truckloads of trees that had just been planted had grown green leaves, which was against the law of nature.

“Sir, this mountain is amazing,” Zhong Liuchuan said with a laugh. “It’s autumn, but the trees are sprouting and the bugs are singing.”

“Mmm, it’s probably because the spiritual energy is stronger,” Wang Yao said.

In fact, the trees were green all year round on Nanshan Hill. That could be seen in some places in the south, but it was unusual in northern areas like Lianshan County.

At the foot of the hill, the two men parted ways. Zhong Liuchuan went home, and Wang Yao opened his clinic.

At noon, Sun Yunsheng came to the mountain village from Dao. He was there to learn skills from Wang Yao.

“Master,” Sun Yunsheng said.

“Don’t call me that. I feel uncomfortable hearing it,” Wang Yao said with a laugh.

“Shall I follow Senior and call you Sir?” Sun Yunsheng asked.

“Yes, sure,” Wang Yao said.

As he was speaking, a patient came into the clinic.

“Give me a moment,” Wang Yao said.

“Yes, Sir, no problem.” After speaking, Sun Yunsheng sat quietly and watched Wang Yao treat the patient.

The patient’s illness was relatively easy to treat. He had sprained his waist at work. After several massages from Wang Yao, the man felt less pain.

“Have a good rest after you get back, and try not to go down to the fields to work for a few days,” Wang Yao said.

“There are many peanuts in the field,” the man said.

Everyone who farmed knew that the peanut harvest time was quite tiring. They had to bend down and get up again. Ordinary people could not stand it.

“You can ask others to help with that,” Wang Yao said. “Your body is more important.”

“OK, I got it,” the middle-aged man said.

Although that was what he said, when he got back, he would still have to go to the fields. In this season, he could only earn money from farming through those plots of peanuts.

When the patient left, Wang Yao called Zhong Liuchuan. “I’d like you to help teach Sun Yunsheng. Teach him the Method of Self Renewing in my place first.”

“Yes, Sir,” Zhong Liuchuan replied. He soon arrived at the clinic. “OK, come with me.”

Zhong Liuchuan invited Sun Yunsheng to his home. He taught him the Method of Self Renewing that Wang Yao had taught him.

Although Sun Yunsheng had a traditional kung fu background, he was often busy with the business world. He was more systematic than Zhong Liuchuan but not as skilled. His heart was difficult to calm down. This Method of Self Renewing required one to be calm before it could be mastered.

“Calm your heart and breathing.” Zhong Liuchuan instructed.

With the deepening of his practice, Zhong Liuchuan’s skill of cultivating Qi was advancing. He practiced every day and recited Taoist sutras, so his practice was improving almost every day.

“Senior, let me think about it first.” Sun Yunsheng, who was always unable to reach the threshold, simply stopped practicing.

“OK.”

Sun Yunsheng took several deep breaths. He went to one side of the room and closed his eyes.

Creak…

The door opened. Wang Yao walked in from outside. He asked, “How is it?”

“I’m always unable to find the way,” Sun Yunsheng replied.

“There’s no rush,” Wang Yao said. “Take your time.”

He gave Sun Yunsheng some guidance. He looked at his anxious appearance and patted him on the shoulder.

“You must have a peaceful mindset,” Wang Yao said. “It’s practice, not a competition. You can’t rush it.”

“Yes.” Sun Yunsheng nodded.

After practicing the entire afternoon, he still couldn’t master it.

“Are you staying here tonight?” Wang Yao asked.

“Yes, I planned to stay here,” Sun Yunsheng replied.

“Let’s have dinner together tonight,” Wang Yao said. “Ask Hao to join us.”

“Yes, Sir,” Sun Yunsheng said.

After leaving Zhong Liuchuan’s home, Sun Yunsheng went to his residence. Hao and two other men accompanying him had already reorganized the room.

“How did your learning go, Young Master?” Hao asked.

“Not good.” Sun Yunsheng shook his head. “Sir taught me the Method of Self Renewing. No matter what, I couldn’t get it. What do you think is wrong?”

“The Method of Self Renewing?” Hao asked.

“Yes, I’m sorry, it can’t be handed over to you,” Sun Yunsheng said.Read more chapter on vipnovel.com

“I know. You don’t have to be so polite, Young Master,” Hao said.

“The Method of Self Renewing is the same as the inner Qi and mind methods in martial arts fiction,” Sun Yunsheng said. “They are the secret of the sects and not easily shared to the outside.”

“What did Sir say?” Hao asked.

“He didn’t say much, just that practice can’t be rushed to success, but my Senior said that my heart is not calm enough,” Sun Yunsheng said.

“That is likely the reason,” Hao said. “You have come in contact with too many things lately, and you’ve been traveling for two days. It’s inevitable to be tired. Get some rest, and maybe the results will be better tomorrow.”

“Well, hopefully,” Sun Yunsheng said. “Sir invited us to dinner. Can you join us?”

“Sure,” Hao said.

The group met at the small restaurant in the village.

“Hey, these dishes are better than those big restaurants,” Sun Yunsheng said.

“You are used to eating plenty of meat and seafood,” Wang Yao said. “You’ll naturally feel that these are unique when eating them. How many days are you going to stay here?”

“One week,” Sun Yunsheng said.

“Alright, communicate more with your senior this week,” Wang Yao said. “Liuchuan, pay more attention to him too.”

“Yes, Sir,” Zhong Liuchuan said.

“Teaching people is also practicing,” Wang Yao said. “When I explain things to you, I also gain insights on practice, which is equivalent to reviewing what I have learned in the past and learning something new from it.”

While they were eating, his cellphone rang.

“Hello, Big Brother,” Wang Yao said.

On the other end of the phone was Su Zhixing. “Is it convenient to speak?”

“Yes, you can speak,” Wang Yao said.

“Can you come out and come to our army?” Su Zhixing asked.

“Is someone hurt?” Wang Yao asked.

“Yes, it’s another team,” Su Zhixing said. “They went to the border and fought. They sacrificed several soldiers. Two are seriously injured.”

“I’ll arrange to come tomorrow,” Wang Yao said after a moment’s silence.

“OK, thank you,” Su Zhixing said.

After he hung up the phone, Wang Yao went back to the dining room.

“Yunsheng, I’m sorry. I have to go to southern Yunnan tomorrow,” he said.

Wang Yao felt bad that Sun Yunsheng had come to learn from him, but he had to leave for something urgent.

“Sir, you do what you have to,” Sun Yunsheng quickly replied. “I can ask Senior any questions.”

“Alright, Liuchuan, I’ll have to trouble you,” Wang Yao said.

“Don’t worry, Sir,” Zhong Liuchuan replied.

“Alright, I’m afraid I won’t be back in a couple of weeks,” Wang Yao said. “I’ll have to trouble you with the village and the mountain matters!”

“Yes,” Zhong Liuchuan said.

After eating and drinking, the four men slowly and leisurely walked back. Wang Yao looked up at the sky from time to time. Traveling to the south would be quite troublesome.

“Sir, do you have to go out for treatment?” Zhong Liuchuan asked.

“Yes, it was a call from Su Xiaoxue’s brother,” Wang Yao said. He did not need to hide the matter from these people. “I have to help logically and emotionally speaking.”

“In the army?” Zhong Liuchuan asked.

“Mmm.” Wang Yao nodded.

“Yes, you should go,” Sun Yunsheng said.

“When you get back, don’t think about practicing,” Wang Yao said. “Sleep well. Get up early tomorrow and come to the mountains with Liuchuan.”

“Yes, I got it, Sir,” Sun Yunsheng said.

They went back to their respective places. Wang Yao went up the mountain alone.

Back in the room, Sun Yunsheng turned to Hao and said, “It seems that in all likelihood, Sir will go to the princess of the Su family.”

Hao did not immediately speak. He bowed his head, thinking about something.

“What are you thinking about?” Sun Yunsheng asked.

“Young Master, let me say something, but please don’t take it to heart,” Hao said.

“Say it,” Sun Yunsheng said. “You’re one of our own!”
