39: There is a scale in people's hearts

"There really is Martial Arts?"

About ten minutes later, in the living room on the sofa.

Yang Yong watched as his good son rubbed the remaining half of a porcelain bowl into powder with his two hands, and couldn't help but rub his own stomach, which seemed to have shrunk a size:

"Son, are you a Martial Forest Grandmaster now?"

The mother and daughter, who had been studying Yang Yong's skin (which was more than a shade lighter), finally shifted their gaze from Yang Yong and looked at Yang Dian.

Yang Dian spread his hands:

"For ordinary people, it's fine for your son to call himself a Grandmaster now."

"But compared to those Grandmasters who have Cultivated Martial Arts for many years, I'm just a big grasshopper."

Yang Yong rubbed his hands:

"Can Cultivating Martial Arts really make one that strong?"

"Can it make people fearless of guns and cannons?"

Yang Dian shook his head:

"Only true Grandmasters can be fearless of guns and cannons."

"For ordinary people, Cultivating Martial Arts can only strengthen the body, improve health, and prolong life."

"That's already quite impressive," Yang Yong stood up and began pacing around the living room.

Seeing his hesitant expression, Yang Dian couldn't help but sigh:

"Dad, just say whatever you want to say."

"I'm your son, why are you being so wishy-washy with me?"

Yang Yong paused, turned, and looked at Yang Dian:

"Then I'll say it, okay?"

"Don't get angry after I say it."

Yang Dian turned his head:

"Then you'd better not say it."

Yangs Mother immediately laughed:

"Hey, you kid."

Patting Yang Dian's arm, Yangs Mother looked at Yang Yong:

"Are you thinking of passing this Martial Arts on to your siblings?"

Yang Yong pulled out a cigarette, wanting to light it.

But remembering that no one else in the family smoked, he silently put the cigarette back into the pack.

However, from his expression, it was clear he implicitly agreed with Yangs Mother's words.

Yang Dian was not surprised by this.

It's like this in Minjiang Province.

Relatives help each other, and clans support each other.

When they get something good, they always think of sharing it with others in the clan, provided it doesn't affect their own family.

This was also the reason Yang Dian and Yang Lele decided not to tell them about the Plum Tree blooming in the backyard and the plum blossom being a heaven and earth treasures after discussing it.

"Dad, I have no objection to you teaching Martial Arts to others, and the bureau also allows the Cultivation Technique to be spread to relatives on a small scale."

"I only have one request."

"That is, don't include Fifth Uncle and his family."

When there are many people, there are naturally good and bad.

It was clear that the Fifth Uncle Yang Dian mentioned belonged to the 'bad' category.

He still remembered five years ago, when he was 13, Yangs Father was seriously ill and hospitalized.

To treat him, the family sold everything they had to raise money, but they were still quite short.

Other relatives, even other villagers, and even some clan members who had moved to other provinces but were still on the same family tree, heard the news and more or less contributed some money, 'lending' it to his family.

Only his Fifth Uncle, Yang Yuan.

His family was well-off, but he stubbornly refused to lend a single penny.

Not lending money was one thing.

After they learned that Yang Yong was seriously ill, they deliberately made themselves unreachable.

They didn't show up once until Yang Yong recovered.

Everyone has a scale in their heart.

How others treat me, I treat them.

For Yang Dian to repay evil with good?

Sorry, he couldn't do it.

Seeing his father speechless, Yang Dian looked at his mother:

"And Mom."

"I remember our family still owes a lot of money to First Uncle and Second Uncle, right?"

"I've also earned a lot of money writing web novels online these past two years. You find a time to call them over, and we'll pay them back."

Yang's Parents knew Yang Dian was writing web novels, but they didn't know how much he had earned, so they wanted to refuse.

But Yang Dian didn't give them a chance to speak:

"Have First Uncle and Second Uncle bring my cousins too."

"The Martial Arts Secret Manual is right here; we won't lose a piece of flesh if others look at it."

"If others can Cultivate, they naturally can too."

"It's just that I don't have extra resources for Cultivating Martial Arts in the future right now, so the uncles will have to figure that out themselves."

Hearing Yang Dian say this, He Mei was immediately surprised:

"Really?"

"Why not?"

Yang Dian patted the Heaven and Man Unity Skill placed on the table:

"Our uncles have been good to us. Two years ago when my dad was sick, First Uncle lent us 90,000, and Second Uncle lent us 60,000. All these years have passed, and they've never rushed us to repay or charged interest."

"Didn't you always tell me that people should know how to repay kindness?"

"They've been so good to my family, of course, I have to think of them."

After speaking, Yang Dian glanced at Old Yang again:

"Unlike my Fifth Uncle."

"He went completely out of contact after knowing my dad was seriously ill."

"And they're supposed to be blood brothers."

Yangs Father gave an awkward laugh:

"Your Fifth Uncle is just like that."

"Didn't your First Uncle and Second Uncle also lend us money?"

"That's why I'm willing to let you pass on the Martial Arts to them." Saying this, Yang Dian stood up again.

He didn't want to talk about this matter much:

"That's how it is."

"Anyway, besides not being able to pass it on to Fifth Uncle's family, even if you want to take the Cultivation Technique to the clan and have the elders pass it on to others in the clan, I don't mind."

"Of course, the Heaven and Man Unity Skill is an exception; this one belongs to the bureau and is only allowed for small-scale dissemination."

"Let's eat, I'm a bit hungry."

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Yang Lele suddenly sprang to her feet:

"Brother, you guys eat first."

"I'll drink the lotus seed soup first."

After Old Yang drank the lotus seed soup, his skin, which had been tanned from daily fishing, instantly lightened by three shades.

Even his skin became smoother and more supple.

A young girl who is naturally fond of beauty, how could she resist such temptation?

Yangs Mother also stood up and walked towards the kitchen upon hearing this:

"I'll drink the soup first too. You two men eat first, no need to wait for me."

Yang Dian simply followed her into the kitchen.

"I haven't had any yet either. Anyway, there are enough toilets at home, so I'll drink the soup first too..."

...Time flowed, and it was evening again from noon.

Under the setting sun, Yang Dian stepped on the soft sand, practicing the Six-Step Pacing Skill from the Heaven and Man Unity Skill.

That's right.

After adapting to the Three-Step Pacing Skill, Yang Dian began practicing the Six-Step Pacing Skill.

The only difference between the Six-Step Skill and the Three-Step Skill is that in the Three-Step Skill, you inhale and take three steps, then exhale and take another three steps.

In the Six-Step Skill, you take six steps with each breath, both inhaling and exhaling.

By the time the setting sun was half-sunk behind the mountains.

Yang Dian, sensing someone watching him, stopped and turned to look at the source of his perception.

Wasn't it Yang Lele, returning from her beachcombing with a white plastic bucket in one hand and a pair of tongs in the other?

Wiping off the mud from Yang Lele's face, Yang Dian said grumpily:

"I told you to come to the beach to Cultivate together, but look at you."

"After Cultivating for a bit, you went off to catch crabs."

"Is that how you Cultivate?"

Yang Lele stuck out her tongue:

"Cultivating is too boring."

"All that 'observing heaven and sensing earth,' taking three steps with an inhale, three steps with an exhale."

"Isn't that just a post-meal stroll to aid digestion?"

"Brother, your little sister's Comprehension Ability is really bad; I'm afraid I can't rely on myself."

"You quickly become a great Grandmaster, and then pass on your Cultivation to me!"

Yang Dian had no choice but to sigh at his younger sister and then summoned his panel.

----

Heaven and Man Unity Skill (Not yet initiated, can be initiated by consuming 680 energy points)

----

'Hmm, half an hour ago, it required 680 energy points to initiate, and half an hour later, it's still 680 energy points.'

'It seems practicing the Six-Step Skill can no longer reduce the energy further.'

'So starting tonight, I'll have to switch to the Single Breath Three-Step Skill...'

Just as Yang Dian was contemplating how to Cultivate next, Yang Lele poked his lower back with a finger again:

"Brother, didn't you say that besides humans, other creatures would also mutate?"

"I just saw a colorful little jellyfish in a small puddle."

"But I was afraid the jellyfish might be poisonous, or that it might have mutated some special ability, so I didn't dare to catch it."

"Do you want to go and see?"

Yang Dian immediately put aside his thoughts:

"Let's go!"

"Lead the way!"
