197: Chapter 197: Three Days and Three Nights!
Soon, Zhou Yu became completely immersed in the cultivation of his martial arts technique.
For him, there were a total of eight moves in the Eight Desolations Fist, and he had mastered them all in less than a night.
But just mastering the moves was not what Zhou Yu wanted.
He had to cultivate the essence of the moves to a certain degree to be considered a minor success.
Time passed unnoticed in cultivation, and three days and nights went by in the blink of an eye.
In these three days, Huang Anping mobilized all of the Huang Family’s connections and managed to gather all the Spiritual Medicine Zhou Yu needed.
Of course, this also cost nearly half of the Huang Family’s assets.
However, for the Huang Family, having Lady Yuzhu recover from her injuries was more important than anything else.
When Huang Anping gathered all the Spiritual Medicine and wanted to find Zhou Yu, Lady Yuzhu stopped him.
“Don’t rush, young Zhou is cultivating the Eight Desolations Fist.”
Huang Anping hesitated for a moment, then said,
“Mother, shouldn’t we call for Zhou Divine Doctor?
The Eight Desolations Fist is not so easy to cultivate.
Once you’re cured, madam, we can lend him the manual to study at his leisure.”
Lady Yuzhu was actually quite conflicted.
What Huang Anping said wasn’t wrong; without years or even decades of dedicated cultivation, the technique wouldn’t be very powerful—If it were so easy to cultivate, the Huang Family wouldn’t have declined with each passing generation.
However, just then, a surge of energy from a punch suddenly emanated from the back of the Huang Family estate.
Lady Yuzhu’s face changed, and she looked toward the back of the estate in shock.
the essence of the Eight Desolations Fist!”
Zhou Yu has already cultivated it?”
Lady Yuzhu’s face was filled with disbelief.
She held her breath and focused intently.
Not long after, another wave of punch energy spread out, this time even stronger than the last.
At this, Lady Yuzhu was completely astounded.
It was truly the essence of the Eight Desolations Fist!
How much time had passed?
Three days and nights.
Zhou Yu had actually cultivated the essence of the technique, what a monstrous talent!
Not good, she had to verify it herself.
Lady Yuzhu wasted no words and headed straight for Zhou Yu’s residence.
When she arrived at Zhou Yu’s residence, Lady Yuzhu did not barge in but called out loudly from outside,
“Young Zhou, may this old lady come in?”
After a moment, Zhou Yu’s voice came out.
“Please, come in, madam.”
Lady Yuzhu pushed the door and entered.
She saw Zhou Yu standing under a tree by the lake, his body exuding a faint yet unmistakable aura of the Eight Desolations Fist.
Lady Yuzhu took a sharp breath.
“Young Zhou, have you already…
cultivated the essence of the technique?”
Zhou Yu shook his head and said,
“I have cultivated a little bit but there’s still a long way to go.”
Lady Yuzhu said in amazement,
“Young Zhou’s achievements in three days are comparable to what I have labored over for ten years.
You truly have an extraordinary gift, unequaled in this world.”
Zhou Yu laughed and said,
“You flatter me, madam.
I have just started learning this technique and still need your guidance.”
Lady Yuzhu replied with a wry smile, “I’m ashamed to say, your current level surpasses anything I could teach.”
Zhou Yu smiled slightly and handed the sheepskin scroll back to Lady Yuzhu.
“Madam, here is your property returned.”
However, Lady Yuzhu shook her head.
“Young Zhou, you’ve seen the trouble this item has brought to my Huang Family!”
“Now, there is no one in my family who is qualified to cultivate the Eight Desolations Fist.
Keeping it in the Huang Family would only be a curse.”
“I have a favor to ask.
I hope Young Zhou will take this technique.
In the future, if you could protect the Huang Family, and after a hundred years, if there is a descendant of the Huang Family who is suitable to learn this technique, please pass it on to them.”
Hearing Lady Yuzhu’s request, Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment.
He hadn’t expected Lady Yuzhu to make such a proposal.
He looked thoughtful.
At that moment, Huang Anping knelt down on the ground.
“Zhou Divine Doctor, on behalf of the Huang Family, I beg you to accept this manual.
My Huang Family will be at the disposal of Zhou Divine Doctor henceforth.”
Seeing the sincerity in the mother and son’s plea, Zhou Yu agreed.
“However, there’s a problem.”
“If I just take it , others won’t know, and they will continue to trouble you.”
Lady Yuzhu’s face briefly turned pale.
Yes, that is a problem.
Yet, having lived for nearly a century, she quickly thought of a solution.
“Young Zhou, why don’t I organize a martial arts exchange meeting in the name of the Huang Family?
The winner will be given the manual of the technique.”
Zhou’s strength and cultivation, you are sure to win with ease.
How about this plan?”
Zhou Yu thought for a while.
Lady Yuzhu immediately responded,
Once the date of the exchange meeting is determined, I will have Anping inform you as soon as possible.”
Seeing that the conversation was nearly finished, Huang Anping hurriedly said,
“Zhou Divine Doctor, I have already prepared all the medicinal ingredients you listed.
Surprise flashed in Zhou Yu’s eyes.
“You prepared them so quickly?”
Huang Anping immediately had the medicine delivered and placed in front of Zhou Yu.
“Zhou Divine Doctor, please inspect.”
With one sweep of his Divine Sense, Zhou Yu exclaimed,
“Well, since the medicine is ready, I will start the concoction.
It may take all night.
Please ensure no one disturbs me.”
“Also, prepare a bronze cauldron for me.”
Huang Anping immediately nodded and said,
“Sure, no problem, I’ll have it sent over immediately.”
Half an hour later, a bronze cauldron was delivered.
Zhou Yu wasted no time and began the process of alchemy at once.
