Lingfeng sat quietly on the house, feeling the warmth of the sun.
Below, Mei was cooking, and the aroma of the dishes wafted up, reaching Lingfeng's nose.
“Lingfeng, come down for dinner!” Mei called gently as she set the food on the table in the yard.
Lingfeng smiled excitedly, still immersed in joy. She lightly turned over and fell to the ground like a falling leaf.
“How do you feel now?” Mei asked while serving rice.
Hearing this, Lingfeng rolled up her sleeves and showed off to Mei, “Your method really works! Look, my muscles are stronger!”
Mei reached out and flicked Lingfeng's arm, surprised. “Your body is so strong!”
“Hehe, I never achieved this kind of effect before, but after your guidance, I've become even stronger. Thank you so much!”
Mei smiled gracefully and said, “If you want to thank someone, thank my grandfather. What I know was taught to me by him!”
Lingfeng nodded and asked, “Mei, do you want to learn martial arts?”
Upon hearing Lingfeng's words, Mei looked excited and said, “Of course I want to learn! I've always liked martial arts; it's just that Herb Hall doesn't have any high-level skills. My grandfather only knows some basic techniques for strengthening the body, so my skills are as you see!”
Last time, Lingfeng sensed Mei's throwing skills; they were somewhat forceful but lacked power and were not suitable for a girl like her. Clearly, Mei had not learned true martial arts.
Lingfeng pondered for a moment. Most of her martial arts were taught by Azure Vine, and there were even fewer that would be suitable for girls. After thinking it over, she felt that Intoxicated Fist might be appropriate for Mei; she just wasn't sure if Mei could achieve the effect of being intoxicated. So she said, “Mei, I have a set of Intoxicated Fist techniques. I just haven't been able to practice them successfully myself, so I only know the routine.”
“Intoxicated Fist!” Mei's eyes sparkled with interest.
"Yes, it's about making the heart intoxicated or the soul remain in a state of drunkenness, while the body stays awake!" Lingfeng said.
Mei nodded and said, "When I dance, I often achieve a state of being spiritually intoxicated without physically being so. I wonder if that's what you mean!"
Hearing this, Lingfeng was pleasantly surprised and hurriedly asked, "Yes, that's the effect! Can you really achieve that?"
Mei pouted and confidently replied, "What's so difficult about it? Just watch!"
With that, Mei walked to the center of the courtyard. Then she lightly stepped into her dance, resembling a peacock, her movements fluid and graceful, appearing both intoxicated and sober.
Lingfeng couldn't help but be mesmerized; at that moment, Mei truly looked like a dancing peacock. Her hair was styled in an intricate bun, and her flowing dress wrapped around her waist. She would occasionally lift her head to gaze into the distance or beckon butterflies. Although her footing was unsteady, her demeanor remained alert.
After finishing her dance, Mei approached Lingfeng with a playful smile and asked, "So, how was that? Is this the effect you meant?"
Lingfeng finally snapped out of his daze from Mei's dance and clapped his hands, exclaiming, "Yes, yes! That's exactly the effect! Wait a moment; I'll show you the moves for a bit, then you can try practicing with those dance steps!"
With that, Lingfeng jumped to the center of the courtyard and demonstrated the routine for Intoxicated Fist.
Afterward, he asked, "So, how much did you remember?"
Mei furrowed her brows and replied with some confusion, "Is this really Intoxicated Fist? I remember most of the moves; it's just that they look too awkward!"
"Hehe!" Lingfeng chuckled shyly and explained, "Actually, I can't achieve that state of spiritual intoxication at all, so I can't practice it perfectly. I'm just mimicking what I've seen; that's why it doesn't look very good!"
Mei remained skeptical but walked to the center of the courtyard and said, "Look, is it like this?"
With that, she gently lifted one foot and waved her hands lightly. Then she landed both feet on the ground while her arms moved like soft snakes—chaotic yet structured. Although it was Mei's first time practicing, the effect left Lingfeng astonished.
Lingfeng became increasingly excited as he watched, and finally could not help but rush forward, striking poses to spar with Mei.
In Mei's hands, the Intoxicated Fist was surprisingly mastered. Each move, while not overpowering, followed a gentle approach.
Lingfeng dared not use too much force, but his speed did not slow down.
"Mei, look at this move!" Lingfeng called out lightly, suddenly striking towards Mei's chest with his right hand.
Mei remained calm, gently sweeping her arms in front of her chest to adopt a Tai Chi posture, effortlessly using Lingfeng's force against him to dissolve his palm wind.
Lingfeng was overjoyed and immediately followed up with a sweeping kick.
Mei smirked disdainfully, shifting her feet left and right, easily dodging Lingfeng's attack.
"Alright, I will use my real skills now!" Seeing Mei handle his moves with ease, Lingfeng felt somewhat reassured. He immediately channeled True Qi through his palms and struck towards Mei with a whoosh.
After all, Mei was a girl and had not practiced any profound martial arts. At this moment, although she remained calm while blocking Lingfeng's forceful strikes, she felt a twinge of pain when she lightly defended against them.
Lingfeng was completely unaware of this. Seeing Mei putting in her all to defend and believing he had not harmed her at all, he thought there was no problem. He then exerted a bit more force, launching every move towards Mei's vital points.
Mei looked at Lingfeng in shock as her steps began to falter. Although the Intoxicated Fist had good defense, she had just begun practicing it and her offensive capabilities were not strong. Moreover, Lingfeng's cultivation level was beyond that of an ordinary person; Mei's repeated attacks yielded no results.
"Hehe, Mei, you're doing well!" Lingfeng said playfully after blocking one of Mei's moves.
Feeling pain, Mei frowned as a bead of cold sweat trickled down her forehead. "Lingfeng, I can't go on!" she said, her body indeed feeling somewhat weak.
Lingfeng quickly stopped and supported Mei, asking with concern, "What happened?"
Mei gasped for breath, rolled up her sleeves, revealing her delicate arms now covered in bruises.
Lingfeng was shocked and regretfully hit his own head, quickly apologizing, "I'm really sorry. I saw you practicing Intoxicated Fist so well, and I just..."
"Hehe, it's fine. I enjoy martial arts anyway; let's consider this a practice session!"
Lingfeng knew Mei was comforting herself, and he felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude. Back at the Demon Suppression Sect, Lingfeng had also gone through physical training. Although it wasn't as grueling as what Mei endured, the painful sensations were still vivid in his memory.
"Come, sit down!" Lingfeng helped Mei as if she were a patient, guiding her to a stone bench.
"I've been collecting herbs with my grandfather for years; getting injured has become routine for me. I'm used to it by now. You don't need to worry; my grandfather has prepared many pills for injuries. I'll take some soon, and I'll be fine!" Mei smiled understandingly and added, "My cultivation level isn't high, but I can feel the essence of Intoxicated Fist! This technique of using softness to overcome hardness really suits me!"
At this point, Lingfeng recalled their earlier sparring match and said, "For a beginner, you're truly the best. I remember when my Brother taught me this set of techniques; I only learned the basic forms, but I could never grasp the essence!"
Mei chuckled at the memory of Lingfeng practicing Intoxicated Fist. He was unsteady on his feet and lacked strength in his limbs, resembling a drunken monkey.
Lingfeng didn't know what Mei was laughing about but joined in anyway. He took out a Jade Dew Pill and said, "This is from our master; it works really well. You should take it!"
Mei glanced at Lingfeng with a fleeting flirtatious look before gently accepting the pill and swallowing it.
With that, Lingfeng readied himself again, planning to launch another surprise attack on the White Jade Escort Agency.
The actions and arrangements of the White Jade Escort Agency were too strange; this time Lingfeng intended to capture someone from White Phoenix Mountain to inquire about the whereabouts of the Pharmaceutical King Demon Lord.
After the last ambush, the White Jade Escort Agency would likely be even more cautious this time.
However, Lingfeng didn't let these concerns weigh on him. In his view, one couldn't catch a tiger cub without entering its den. Besides, causing a ruckus at the White Jade Escort Agency sounded like such fun—why not enjoy it?
However, this time, Lingfeng did not plan to launch a surprise attack but waited until nightfall.
Early in the morning, Lingfeng left Herb Hall and arrived at the inn in Bai Family Town.
Upon seeing Lingfeng return, Er was pleasantly surprised and hurriedly took care of the guest room, seemingly nostalgic for Lingfeng's presence. "Guest, have you taken care of everything? It's been a long time!"
Lingfeng lay back on the bed and glanced at Er, saying, "Not yet. There are too many things to handle. Once I finish one task, another one comes up. By the way..." Lingfeng suddenly sat up on the bed and asked, "Where did you buy that horse last time? When we got to Redstone Mountain, that white horse just ran off on its own!"
"Oh my Hero!" Er chuckled at Lingfeng's complaint and said, "Hero, that was no ordinary white horse. That horse has lived with people for a long time and is quite intelligent. The Redstone Mountain you passed through is actually a dangerous place. It is said that a giant snake resides there, with a mouth as big as a basin, capable of spitting clouds and mist, and can unleash thunder and fire. That white horse knew about the dangers inside, which is why it ran back; it actually wanted to save your life. Moreover, that horse is very loyal to its home; the silver coins you gave it happened to be due when it returned!"
"Haha!" Lingfeng chuckled bitterly, realizing that this white horse was an intelligent creature. It was just unfortunate that after all their interactions, the horse had not developed any feelings for Lingfeng and instead wasted his emotions.
Listening to Er, Lingfeng became even more curious and asked, "Who raised that white horse? How could it have such abilities?"
"Oh, it's the White Horse King from Southern Town. If you want to go see him, I can take you there shortly!"
The fact that the White Horse King could tame such a white horse indicated he was an extraordinary person. Lingfeng couldn't help but feel curious and immediately got up to tidy his clothes, smiling as he said, "Er brother, please lead the way!"
