Chapter 60 Pearl Light Chamber of Commerce
Then, as Feng Shouzhuo spoke, he looked up at Feng Xiu again.
Feng Xiu smiled slightly, "It's alright, Shouzhuo, please feel free to speak. It's just an argument, so let's all express our opinions."
Feng Xiu was eager for everyone to provide him with inspiration, whether good or bad, he could accept it.
That's why we called everyone over to discuss the matter.
While the Dragon-Snake Martial Seal is undeniably powerful, it is far too obscure.
In his view, true martial arts can be complex and profound, but they must never lack universality!
Feng Shouzhuo breathed a sigh of relief and was about to speak when Xiang Geng unexpectedly retorted.
"The third move is 'The Snake's Shadow Vanishes Without a Trace,' which emphasizes unpredictability; the seventh move is 'The Snake Walks on the Grass,' which emphasizes silence and stealth."
"The two styles look similar, but they are different in essence; one emphasizes form, and the other emphasizes meaning."
Feng Shouzhou protested, "Then tell me how to do it?"
Xiang Geng didn't have a specific idea either, so he looked at Han Che and said, "Brother Han, you've traveled all over the country and seen the world, so why don't you tell me?"
Han Che remained silent for a while before slowly speaking.
He's currently working on breaking through to the Blood Burning stage, and Uncle Zheng has given him a lot of resources, making him look more capable than before.
"I haven't practiced the Dragon-Snake Martial Seal, but I just tried a few moves," Han Che said. "I think we don't necessarily have to be fixated on merging; we can try integrating them."
"Fusion?" Feng Shouzhuo was taken aback.
Is there a difference between merging and consolidating?
"Of course."
Han Che nodded. "For example, the eighth move, the Azure Serpent Seal, and the eleventh move, the Flood Dragon Seal. Both of these moves are killing techniques. If used alone, they each have their own methods, but if they are combined..."
As Han Che spoke, he crossed his hands, forming a spirit snake seal with his left hand and a dragon seal with his right, and then unleashed them simultaneously.
Although he had not yet entered the Blood Burning stage, he still forcibly activated it using his Qi and Blood.
Two completely different forces converged in mid-air, and the invisible air bursts collided with each other, dissipating with a bang.
Han Che withdrew his hand, his expression unchanged.
"The Second Young Master's idea is to merge the Green Snake Seals of the same kind, but my idea is to merge the Green Snake and Flood Dragon Seal techniques."
Feng Shouzhuo seemed to be deep in thought upon hearing this.
This time he didn't say anything about how this was any different from the Dragon and Snake Martial Seal.
He understood Han Che's line of thinking.
"Of course there is a difference. If the two seals can be merged, even the combined seal will be much more powerful than the original seal."
Han Che paused, then added, "Furthermore, the hand seals can also be improved. For example, what is clearly a fist-pressing seal..."
What was unleashed was a palm strike; martial arts are a game of deception and deception.
Feng Xiu nodded; he had actually thought of that as well.
Han Che places more emphasis on real-world combat and life-or-death battles, and Feng Xiu pondered for a while.
"That's a good idea, but there's one thing: how do you ensure the flow of Qi and blood during the hand seals, as well as the internal energy circulation diagram?"
"How can you guarantee that the new, streamlined seal technique you believe to be fused is definitely stronger than the original Dragon-Snake Combined Seal?"
The three questions Feng Xiu asked represent one of the current difficulties.
In fact, Feng Xiu preferred Feng Shouzhuo's idea to first reduce the number of the original Green Snake Seal and Dragon Snake Seal.
Han Che, however, took the fusion step as the starting point for a new seal technique.
Han Che shook his head.
How can such a thing be guaranteed? This meeting is essentially a martial arts simulation.
He wasn't even a blood-burning expert; he had only put forward a hypothetical idea.
The group was all in quiet contemplation, carefully considering the matter in their minds, and realized that it was neither Han Che nor Feng Shouzhuo.
Both of their approaches to getting to the heart of the matter were correct.
"Actually, I have an immature idea, but I'm afraid that if I say it out loud, it will make the Dragon-Snake Seal more complicated."
As the atmosphere grew tense, Feng Shouzhuo's brows slowly relaxed, his tone hesitant.
It seems she's unsure whether she should say it or not.
All eyes turned to him, and Feng Xiu nodded in encouragement.
"speak."
Feng Shouzhuo took a deep breath, his eyes becoming more serious.
"When I was practicing the Dragon and Snake Breathing Method, I always felt that this breathing method was very different from the Five Internal Energy Breathing Method. In short, it was very fun."
"With each breath, the Qi within the body can be divided into dragon Qi and snake Qi, one rising and the other sinking."
"The core of breathing techniques is the principle of Yin and Yang. The Green Snake Seal belongs to Yin, and the Flood Dragon Seal belongs to Yang. If you want to integrate the techniques, you must first understand the fundamental principle of Yin and Yang."
After much buildup, Feng Shouzhou finally revealed his final thoughts.
"Instead of fusing techniques here, let's first fill in the essence of Yin and Yang, and find some martial arts that also emphasize the principles of Yin and Yang."
"As long as you can align with the Dragon-Snake Breathing Technique and solidify this foundation first, then try to integrate and merge it; the rest will naturally follow."
Upon hearing this, all four of them were taken aback.
Han Che, in particular, looked at Feng Shouzhuo with a completely different expression.
Then, he immediately looked at Feng Xiu, who was also somewhat astonished.
Han Che seemed somewhat incredulous, as if he were meeting Feng Shouzhuo for the first time.
Anyone can say such things, have such opinions, but he is the only one who cannot!
"Good idea, good idea, I underestimated you." Feng Xiu gradually came to his senses and carefully considered the feasibility of this step.
Ultimately, Feng Xiu didn't think of this because the Dragon-Snake Martial Seal itself was already very obscure.
Feng Shouzhuo's meaning was also very clear.
It involves using internal energy techniques with different yin and yang attributes to further complicate the process, and then returning to its essence.
This will make subsequent simplifications incredibly smooth.
"Second Young Master, your idea has potential!" Xiang Geng's eyes flashed with surprise after hearing this.
Feng Shouzhou made rapid progress; his understanding of martial arts was almost visible to the naked eye.
Xiang Geng glanced at Feng Xiu and sighed inwardly.
According to his perspective, this Dragon and Snake Martial Seal...
In any major gang, it would be a prized possession.
Feng Xiu, however, took it out directly and let everyone study it together.
Regardless of whether those who can attend this small meeting are the future core members of the Feng family.
Xiang Geng admired his magnanimity.
As thoughts flashed through his mind, Xiang Geng followed Feng Shouzhuo's train of thought and calmed himself before speaking.
"What the Second Young Master said makes sense. The Dragon-Snake Martial Seal itself is not a method of exerting force, but a medium that releases one's own force through the seal to maximize its power."
"To fill the Yin and Yang gap, you can learn some Yin-attribute techniques in advance, or Yang-attribute techniques, using the blazing Yang internal energy to match the Dragon Seal, and the cold poison internal energy to match the Spirit Serpent Seal."
"In this way, the power of the Dragon-Snake Combination Seal can be increased to another level."
Feng Xiu nodded; in fact, that was what he was thinking too.
Then, Feng Xiu looked at Zheng Bo, who hadn't spoken a word throughout, and asked, "Zheng Bo, where exactly did you get this Dragon-Snake Martial Seal?"
"Replying to the eldest young master, this old servant bought it from the Pearl Light Merchant Guild for ten thousand taels of silver."
The mention of ten thousand taels of silver stunned everyone.
This amount was indeed outrageous; even Feng Shouzhou was momentarily stunned.
Then, he asked in confusion, "The Pearl Chamber of Commerce? I've never heard of it."
Zheng Bo explained, "It's a large merchant guild that recently emerged in Yunzhou, dealing in martial arts, elixirs, and weapons."
"I heard that they," Zheng Bo paused, "have some connections with the Embroidered Uniform Guard."
Embroidery Bureau.
Feng Xiu raised an eyebrow slightly.
This was the first time he had ever heard of this name in all the time he had traveled through time.
Xiang Geng noticed his confusion. "Young Master, the Embroidered Uniform Guard is an organization directly under the imperial court. On the surface, it monitors all officials, but secretly it also manages matters in the martial arts world."
Han Che added, "In the martial arts world, whenever a gang or sect is established, they must first go to the Embroidered Robe Bureau to obtain a Zhenwu Token."
"Without this order, it's an illegal organization, and the Embroidered Uniform Guard can wipe it out at any time."
Feng Xiu seemed thoughtful, but not surprised.
If the average person had the strength of Wu Song, the imperial court, without some foundation, would probably have been overthrown long ago.
It's a very simple principle: if someone can offer a top-tier cultivation technique for sale at ten thousand taels of silver, there must be even better ones inside.
At this moment, Zheng Bo said again, "Since the Pearl Light Chamber of Commerce is related to the Embroidered Uniform Bureau, the goods they have should be of good quality. This old servant will go and take another look to see if there are any suitable martial arts techniques."
Feng Xiu nodded.
The five discussed for a while longer and finally settled on a framework.
The Dragon and Snake Martial Seal is tentatively simplified to nine seals.
Nine is the ultimate number, meaning that at least nine types of Yin-Yang martial arts are required.
"Then it's settled."
No sooner had Feng Xiu finished speaking than there was a knock on the door.
Knock knock knock~
"Come in," Zheng Bo called out.
The door opened, and a boy walked in.
Gu Chong changed into clean clothes, combed his hair neatly, and stood still with his back straight.
The eyes of all five people in the room fell on him at the same time.
Zheng Bo's eyes narrowed slightly.
When he came to block the door before, his eyes were full of obsession and madness, but now he is as still as a pool of water.
Han Che was also sizing up Gu Chong.
He had a certain aura about him, not the smell of blood, but the kind of imposing presence that only someone who had seen blood would possess.
At this moment, Gu Chong ignored everyone else, walked up to Feng Xiu, knelt on one knee, and bowed his head.
"Gu Chong thanks you for your great kindness, young master."
He added.
"Only by giving Gu Chong the knife, young master, can Gu Chong take revenge. From now on, Gu Chong's life belongs to young master."
After listening, Feng Xiu shook his head and chuckled.
"Thank me?"
"I only gave you a knife. How you use it is your own business. Killing Third Master is your own skill. How the Torch Gang finds you next is also your own karma."
He paused, then looked at Feng Shouzhuo.
"Shou Zhuo."
Feng Shouzhuo was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening.
He stepped forward and patted Gu Chong on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, I'll help you."
Feng Shouzhou didn't know anything about the Torch Gang or the Third Master, but he knew what his elder brother's look meant.
When it's time to express your opinion, you have to express it.
Gu Chong looked at Feng Shouzhuo, then at Feng Xiu, and nodded silently.
Uncle Zheng watched from the side, opened his mouth as if to say something.
The Torch Gang may not appear strong on the surface, but he knew they had an elder, a master of the Divine Realm.
With Feng Ao and Zhou Gang, the Feng family naturally has nothing to fear.
But this arrangement of sealing off the revisionists...
Zheng Bo didn't say it aloud.
Gu Chong stood up, but did not step back.
"Young Master," he bowed and said, "Gu Chong has something else he wishes to offer you."
Feng Xiu raised an eyebrow.
The family heirloom of the Gu Chong family, the one that Third Master has his eye on?
"What is it?"
Gu Chong turned around and called out towards the door.
"Brother Zhang, bring it in."
Footsteps sounded outside the door.
Old Zhang and five guards were carrying something as they struggled to walk in.
The thing was very tall and was completely wrapped in black cloth.
"Bang!"
The six men put the object on the ground, panting heavily.
"It's so damn heavy!"
After they recovered, they bowed and took their leave.
Gu Chong ignored them and just looked at Feng Xiu.
Feng Xiu stood up and walked to the object. The people in the chairs were all curious.
"What is this?"
Gu Chong didn't speak, but simply reached out and slowly lifted the black cloth.
He moved slowly at first, then finally ripped off the black cloth.
Instantly, the pupils of the people in the room contracted!
