162: Ideas for improving martial arts gymnastics

If we want to popularize a basic Cultivation Technique, what effects should this basic Cultivation Technique have?

First, it must be universally applicable.

From 6-year-old children to centenarians, everyone should be able to improve through Cultivation by adjusting the intensity of their Martial Arts practice.

Second, it must be simple and easy to learn.

The core routine should not exceed 9 Moves, making it simple and easy to remember, allowing people to practice a set anytime, anywhere during their free time.

The organization did these two points very well, and Yang Dian couldn't find any angle to optimize or upgrade them.

'Although I have a cheat, there are many talented people in the organization, not to mention the assistance of AI in creating Cultivation Techniques.'

'It's really not easy to optimize.'

While sighing inwardly, Yang Dian took out his confidential phone and started searching.

And it was as he expected.

The organization had long been prepared for the subsequent advancement of Martial Arts Calisthenics.

Once someone practicing Martial Arts Calisthenics sensed Qi Blood, they could Cultivate the advanced version of Martial Arts Calisthenics.

In the advanced version of Martial Arts Calisthenics, some focus on Cultivating strength, some on Cultivating reaction ability, some on Move combos, some on coordinated combat, and in addition, there are cold weapon advanced versions.

What he could think of, the organization had thought of.

What he hadn't thought of, the organization had also thought of.

One can only say that the organization lives up to its name; it considers things far more comprehensively than a single person.

However, Yang Dian was not discouraged.

After carefully searching for information about Martial Arts Calisthenics, Yang Dian's eyes gradually lit up.

"Although there is an advanced version, it seems to be just an advanced version."

After searching for information from various angles and confirming that he hadn't found the information he needed, Yang Dian proactively called Deputy Director Yue Shan of the Wuan General Bureau.

As two beeps sounded, Yue Shan's steady voice came through the phone to Yang Dian's ears.

"Hello? Little Yang? Why did you suddenly think of calling me? Are you planning to transfer your file to our Wuan Bureau side?"

Yang Dian was a bit awkward:

"Uncle Yue, don't joke with me. Today, I wouldn't have called without a reason; I have something I want to consult you about."

Yue Shan on the other end of the phone chuckled:

"I'm not that old bull-nosed Qing Feng; don't call me that old."

"Go ahead, what do you want to ask me?"

Yang Dian stated the question he had prepared long ago:

"Uncle Yue, I've looked at 《The First Set of National Martial Arts Exercises for Primary and Secondary School Students》 that the organization is preparing to popularize."

"The organization truly has many capable people. The Martial Arts Calisthenics not only has universal applicability but also multiple advanced pathways."

"It's just that I have a tiny, insignificant thought, and I don't know if it's correct."

Yue Shan became interested:

"Oh? What are your thoughts?"

"I found that although Martial Arts Calisthenics has universal applicability, it only has universal applicability and no other special abilities."

"For example, pairing it with Medicinal Baths to relieve fatigue after practicing Martial Arts, pairing it with Medicinal Pills to increase Cultivation effects, or even having the Martial Arts Calisthenics itself possess special abilities."

"For instance, improving Physique through practicing Martial Arts Calisthenics, increasing the efficiency of food absorption, and so on."

Yue Shan smiled:

"What, you have ideas about these?"

After asking, he answered his own question:

"That's right, you little Prodigy, not only have you mastered the few Cultivation Techniques you mainly Cultivate, but you've also become proficient in other Cultivation Techniques."

"It's not surprising to have such thoughts when you're so knowledgeable."

"In fact, it's not just you; some Martial Artists in the Qi and Blood Wolf Smoke Realm, and even Martial Arts Grandmasters like us, have the same thoughts."

"But I think you should understand the reason why we ultimately chose this version of Martial Arts Calisthenics."

Yang Dian nodded:

"The reason Medicinal Baths and Medicinal Pills weren't announced is probably because the domestic resource reserves cannot simultaneously meet the Cultivation needs of 1.4 billion people."

"This version of Martial Arts Calisthenics was chosen because of its high universal applicability and simple entry."

"You understand it very well, don't you?" As soon as Yue Shan finished speaking, he heard Yang Dian's somewhat calm words coming from the phone again:

"But what if I have a way to greatly increase the absorption rate of food for practitioners by only adding one or two Moves?"

Yue Shan's expression became solemn:

"Such jokes cannot be made."

"Uncle Yue, do you think I'm the kind of person who likes to joke?"

"Of course, I just have this idea; I haven't created this Move yet."

Yue Shan was about to say, 'It's good for young people to have ideas, but they shouldn't be too ambitious,' when he heard Yang Dian say on the other end of the phone:

"However, as long as the domestic material reserves are sufficient to keep up with the Martial Arts consumption of 1.4 billion people, I am confident that in..."

Speaking of this, Yang Dian pondered for a moment, then continued:

"I am confident that I can create the Move within three days."

Yue Shan pondered for a long time before giving Yang Dian an answer:

"Forget three days; as long as you can create this Move within three months or three years, I will put in a good word for you."

"If you don't create it, I'll pretend you never made this call today..."

...After hanging up the phone, Yang Dian looked at the old Plum Tree in the backyard and smiled.

How could he not create it?

As early as when he met Zhao Yuanyuan on the way back to Fuzhou from Chengdu and noticed that her talent was [Fast Digestion], with the ability to quickly digest food and convert it into energy to improve Physique, he had already set his mind on this talent.

Directly 'analyzing' and 'copying' the talent with energy was naturally unfeasible.

After all, he didn't have that much energy on hand.

But the idea of indirectly acquiring the [Fast Digestion] ability through the aid of Medicinal Pills and Martial Arts had always lingered in Yang Dian's mind.

After intermittent piecing together, and a flash of inspiration during his Martial Arts Calisthenics Cultivation just now, Yang Dian finally had an initial idea.

The prescription is Dan Niu Powder, and the Martial Arts is Gluttonous Eating Qi.

Dan Niu, the 'Dan' in 'eating three cows a day'.

Dan Niu Powder is an ancient prescription passed down from an unknown dynasty in Huaxia, intended to treat anorexia patients and greatly increase their appetite.

Gluttonous Eating Qi is a Cultivation Technique Yang Dian carefully selected from hundreds of Martial Arts, which, after Cultivation, can increase appetite and improve gastrointestinal digestive capacity.

If he could simplify the Dan Niu Powder prescription, remove the precious traditional Chinese medicinal ingredients, and replace them with common medicinal ingredients, or even common food ingredients.

And then simplify the Gluttonous Eating Qi Moves.

Wouldn't that be equivalent to obtaining a weakened version of the [Fast Digestion] ability?

Stretching his body with open arms, Yang Dian returned to his room and found the bamboo slip, which was rumored to have been bought from the black market by a clan member during a trip to Kathmandu, Nepal.

He spread out the bamboo slip and meticulously studied the prescription on it.

As he read, Yang Dian sighed again.

"The Qing Dynasty was so incompetent, allowing too many treasures of our Old Ancestors to be lost abroad."

"Once I'm strong enough, I must go to their doors and reclaim all our things."

"And collect an extra billion in interest..."
