Zhang Jun felt bad for troubling Hua Buyi to deal with that Sun Wuji. He said, “Master, is Sun Wuji very difficult to deal with?”
Hua Buyi smiled, “Sun Wuji knows a lot witchcraft and black magic. He is not easy to deal with, but he can’t hurt me. There’s no need to worry.”
They talked for a while until lunchtime and ate something in the room. After lunch, Hua Buyi dragged Zhang Jun to an open field and stood like a stake upon both feet. At the same time, his shoulder and back were kept straight while he pressed his two palms together in front of his chest.
Hua Buyi was like a tree standing there. Even though the tree’s leaves might shake with a gust of wind, but the root was very solid. It was a state of mind which combined motion and stillness, excluding the Yin and holding the Yang. And it was tight on the outside but relaxed inside.
“This is called Hunyuan Stake, your spirit and power will be mixed into Hunyuan Qi, which is the foundation of Tai Chi if you can practice it well”, said Hua Buyi. “The Hunyuan Stake is the foundation of both the regimen and practicing the strength.”
Zhang Jun felt strange and asked, “Master, why do I need to practice the stake if I don’t learn martial art?”
Hua Buyi said, “Doctors walk around the whole world to practice medicine. We experience a lot of changes and get into several dangerous situations. Of course, we need to know how to protect ourselves. I don’t know that much about martial arts. I only know a bit knowledge about it, so I will only teach you how to build up the base using Hunyuan Stake. It will be easier for you to learn martial arts when you know how to use the Hunyuan Stake well.
Zhang Jun was not completely against the idea of learning martial arts. Being able to leap onto roofs, to vault over walls and to fight against ten by himself was not a bad thing. He said immediately, “It’s good to learn martial arts. But who’s going to teach me if you don’t intend to teach me by yourself?”
“You will know when the time comes. Don’t overthink at the moment. Practice the Hunyuan Stake well. I will be able to stay around for ten more days. You need to get very familiar with the Stake in ten days. Then I will leave and return after a month or two. So, the time is valuable for you tomaster the Stake and show them that you are a diamond in the rust.”
Zhang Jun didn’t ask who were the people that his master just implied. He would just practice it well since his master ordered and there was no need for him to overthink. The master would handle it anyways.
After that, he pulled up a stake while imitating Hua Buyi’s move and started to practice the Hunyuan Stake diligently. His X-ray vision helped him to observe people very well and he was able to identify the mysterious that ordinary people couldn’t.
Hua Buyi was not satisfied with Zhang Jun’s performance when he started practicing for the first time. He made so many mistakes that Hua Buyi had to give him some instructions.
“You need to feel like you are looking at something very far away. Pull back your chest and keep your shoulders down…” Hua Buyi taught him. The word targeted right at Zhang Jun’s weakness and corrected his mistakes.
With Hua Buyi’s instruction and his X-ray vision, Zhang Jun adjusted his posture again and again. It didn’t take him much time to reach the prefect Stake practice.
At the moment, Hua Buyi only taught him for half an hour.
Hua Buyi was very surprised and said, “The Hunyuan Stake is not very hard and ordinary people can learn it. But I didn’t expect you could get the quintessence of it in such a short time. It looks like you have the talent to learn martial art.”
Once Zhang Jun had the right posture, Hua Buyi started to teach Zhang Jun the method of inner cultivation. Inner cultivation was the way that your heart leads your Qi and blood. Different people have different inner cultivation methods and the effect was completely different.”
“The inner cultivation method that I’m going to teach you is the top secret of Shennong Sect and it’s called Qingdi inner cultivation. It is not only the foundation of martial art but also the precondition of becoming a doctor. If you can’t practice the Qingdi inner cultivation well, you will not be qualified to practice the Shennong art of healing.”
“For example, Shennong Sect has two legendary techniques, which are the Nine Strength of Medical Arts and Daluo Mythic Needles. The use of both of them can’t be isolated from Qingdi inner cultivation.”
Zhang Jun paid extra attention when he heard how important the Qingdi inner cultivation was. He was concerned about Hua Buyi and listened carefully. All inner cultivations were about the movement of Qi and blood. He used his X-ray vision to see clearly the direction of the movement of Qi and blood inside Hua Buyi.
Hua Buyi used two hours to explain the Qingdi inner cultivation and said, “Inner cultivation is not something that you can comprehend in a few days. You can’t sense the Qi and blood transportation and not even the movement. So, there’s no need to rush. Firstly, memorize the structure and think about it. Someday you will understand.”
Indeed, Zhang Jun couldn’t sense the movement and that kind of cultivation couldn’t be taught in just a few days. It would probably take more than five months. But he had great skills in grasping the exact movement of Qi and blood . He would make it work in a short period.
Hua Buyi planned to stay for ten more days and teach the Hunyuan Stake and Qingdi Inner Cultivation with patience. But he could see that Zhang Jun was learning very fast and Zhang Jun could figure out after looking at it for a while. He decided to only stay for three days and leave earlier.
The other day, Hua Buyi checked on Zhang Jun’s Stake skills. When he discovered that Zhang Jun was perfect at it, he said, “Zhang Jun, you need to practice it well during the time while I’m gone and wait for me to come back.”
Zhang Jun nodded and said, “Yes, I understand.”
Zhang Jun practiced for a whole day in Jinlong Hotel. The food and accommodation were provided by Zhang Wu. But at night, he went back to the hotel which Lin Xian was staying at.
Lin Xin was already there when Zhang Jun went back. She was busy with the openings and she rarely came back this early. She looked very happy as well.
“Lin Xian, do you have all of the required paperwork now?” Zhang Jun asked while smiling. He gave Lin Xian his ID card for all kinds of procedures required to open the store.
Lin Xian showed him all the certificates in her hands and smiled, “It’s all done. The next step is to choose the location.”
Zhang Jun came close and looked at the certificates. He said, “Lin Xian, you must be so tired working for these.”
Lin Xian laughed grimly and said, “I’m glad you care about me and don’t want to see me exhausted.”
Zhang Jun laughed and said, “You’re more capable than me, and that’s why you are so busy. I probably couldn’t make it work in three months.”
Lin Xian rolled her eyes and asked, “What did you do today?”
He shrugged and said, “Practiced the Hunyuan Stake for the whole day.”
Lin Xian shook her head and said, “I don’t get it. Why would Dr. Hua make you practice the stake? You don’t need to know martial arts.” Then, she patted on her shoulder and ordered, “Come on. Jun. I need some massage.”
Zhang Jun smiled and started massaging her. It made Lin Xian very comfortable. He said while massaging, “Lin Xian. There’s a batch of jade that need to be sold as soon as possible. And use the revenue to buy shares.”
“What’s the rush? There are a few highest grades among them, and we need these as the treasure in our store. We can’t sell them. Don’t worry about the money. I have half a billion now, and that’s enough”, she said lightly.
Zhang Jun said, “Okay. You are in charge, Lin Xian.” He was a straightforward person and stopped insisting on it.
After a few words, he said, “I want to go back home tomorrow. My parents must be worried by now since I’ve been out for a long time. I will have them settled this time and get back to focus on my work .”
