64: Chapter 64 A Blessing in Disguise?
On a straight country road.
A dilapidated motorcycle sped along like a bolt of lightning.
The burly man was extremely anxious, his face covered in sweat despite the cold winter evening.
His mother was already weak and sickly. It was all his fault; he had stayed in the mountains for too long this time, leaving his mother to cook for herself, which led to her falling.
The motorcycle sped forward. The burly man stared intently ahead, constantly talking and reminding his mother not to fall asleep.
But just then.
A scene appeared in the sky, filled with sunset clouds, that left the burly man dazed.
He saw.
Above the forest ahead, a figure was leaping between the treetops.
Or rather, flying.
The figure lightly pushed off a treetop, and the entire person drifted forward slowly like an Immortal descending from the heavens.
This scene.
Directly caused the burly man to freeze for a moment.
In normal times, a momentary lapse wouldn't matter at all.
But at this very moment, with the motorcycle speeding along, even an extremely brief distraction caused the handlebars to lose control.
The entire handlebar assembly wobbled instantly.
The burly man's face darkened, and he hurriedly tried to steer to regain direction.
But it was already too late.
The entire vehicle crashed out amidst his grief and indignation.
"Damn it!"
The burly man's eyes nearly burst from their sockets. He adjusted his body as best he could mid-air, ensuring his own body was underneath while his mother on his back remained on top.
But even so.
The moment they hit the ground, the violent impact still sent his mother flying.
"Mom!!!"
The burly man was pale with fright. Ignoring his own safety, he scrambled up from the ground instantly and lunged toward her.
Having been thrown from the speeding motorcycle, his skin was scraped bloody the moment it hit the ground, but that wasn't his concern.
The real danger was his mother.
His small, frail mother had been knocked unconscious instantly by the impact, and her body was also covered in abrasions.
Blood likewise stained her outer clothing red.
...
Several hundred meters away.
Above the forest treetops.
"I..."
"How could it be such a coincidence?!"
Ji Yebai sighed softly, feeling a bit melancholy.
He had been so immersed in the exhilaration of strolling across the treetops just now that he forgot to observe his surroundings for a moment, and happened to be seen so coincidentally.
It even caused a traffic accident.
"Sigh!"
With a sigh, Ji Yebai suddenly turned back.
After a few leaps, he drifted down from the treetops.
The burly man on the road was howling while holding his frail mother. He didn't even look up when Ji Yebai landed softly not far away.
One could see the burly man's grief.
Ji Yebai stepped forward, feeling somewhat guilty. "Um, please let go of the lady first. I can save her!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
The burly man suddenly looked up, staring fixedly at Ji Yebai.
But in the next moment, as if he had realized something.
He abruptly let go of his mother and knelt straight down on the ground. "Please, I beg you, save my mother. Please, save my mother... I'll kowtow to you!"
With a thud, he kowtowed heavily.
"Hey, don't!"
Ji Yebai immediately stepped forward and pulled the man up.
He had been feeling guilty and hadn't reacted in time, allowing the man to complete the kowtow.
In the end, he bore some responsibility for this.
Ji Yebai pulled the man up and then walked solemnly toward the frail mother on the ground.
The frail mother was already unconscious, and some bloodstains appeared on her outer clothes, clearly indicating impact injuries.
Ji Yebai's Internal Energy surged as he waved his hand.
Five Elements Internal Energy manifested and descended upon the mother's body.
The frail mother's injuries were very severe.
Her internal organs had suffered from the impact.
Injuries this severe would be nerve-wracking even in a large hospital.
But Ji Yebai breathed a slight sigh of relief.
When it came to internal organs, he was arguably the most authoritative person.
Five Elements Internal Energy poured out and entered the mother's body.
The Five Elements Power of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth separated and drifted toward her heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.
With the support of the Internal Energy, the mother's internal organ injuries were instantly stabilized.
The tiny cracks upon them also began to heal under the catalysis of the Internal Energy.
Not only that, but Ji Yebai also specifically conditioned her body.
Under the sweep of the Internal Energy, various old hidden injuries were smoothed over.
Finally, Ji Yebai left a wisp of Internal Energy to continue circulating among her five organs.
This wisp of Internal Energy would continuously strengthen her internal organs and condition her body.
As long as it wasn't exhausted, this mother would be free from all illnesses in the future.
"It's done!"
Ji Yebai stood up.
The burly man beside him immediately moved to kowtow to Ji Yebai again.
Just now, when Ji Yebai waved his hand, a five-colored halo had swirled and enveloped his mother, quickly making her expression peaceful.
If these methods weren't those of an Immortal, what were they?
Even though it was now the 21st century, the belief in gods and Immortals was still prevalent among village folk.
At this moment.
In the burly man's eyes, Ji Yebai was an Immortal.
Ji Yebai shook his head slightly and pressed his hand on the man's shoulder, preventing him from kneeling.
"I am not an Immortal, just a Martial Artist!"
Ji Yebai paused and continued, "I just used Internal Skill to help heal your mother's injuries!"
"Internal Skill!?"
The burly man's eyes went wide. "Is it really Internal Skill!?"
Although he lived in a mountain village, he also had a mobile phone.
Recently, the entire internet was buzzing with rumors about Spiritual Qi recovery and that martial arts could be cultivated.
It was incredibly lively, making it hard for people to keep up or distinguish truth from falsehood.
"Ex—Expert, then my mother..."
The burly man asked cautiously.
He no longer called him Immortal, but changed it to Expert.
"Your mother's injuries are no longer an issue; she has just fallen into a deep sleep. I left a wisp of Internal Energy within her internal organs; as long as she exercises diligently in the future, being free from all illnesses will be a small matter!"
Ji Yebai looked at the man and said softly.
The man was instantly overjoyed.
He hurriedly bowed with his hands clasped.
Then he carefully took his mother into his arms.
He took out his phone and dialed a fellow villager's number.
His motorcycle was already deformed from the crash and could no longer be ridden.
Ji Yebai looked at the man.
His rough skin showed he was a skilled hand at farm work.
And he was extremely filial.
However.
Ji Yebai saw the bloody scrape marks on the man's arms and cheeks.
But at this moment, the man was holding his mother with a smile on his face, not feeling any pain at all.
This smile moved Ji Yebai somewhat.
"I will teach you a set of fist techniques as well!"
Ji Yebai suddenly spoke up.
The man looked up, somewhat stunned. "Fist techniques!?"
Ji Yebai nodded.
"Yes, this set of fist techniques specializes in health preservation. After you and your mother master it, you can prolong your lives and be free from all illnesses!"
Ji Yebai looked at the man with a smile.
Without waiting for the man to react, he simply shouted, "Watch closely!"
He then began to perform the Longevity Fist.
The man's gaze was fixed intently on Ji Yebai.
Not for himself, but for those words about prolonging life and being free from all illnesses.
The burly man had been raised by his mother alone since childhood and was extremely filial to her.
Ji Yebai performed the Longevity Fist with solemnity.
At this moment, his body seemed to emit a certain indescribable aura.
This aura firmly attracted the burly man's attention, even making him forget everything else.
If someone had looked closely at this time, they would have found some images flickering within the burly man's pupils.
After Ji Yebai finished the set of techniques, he saw the man still staring blankly ahead and smiled.
He had used his will to deliberately guide the man's Mental Energy, immersing him in the images just now.
"I have also left a wisp of Internal Energy in your body. When you and your mother Cultivate the Longevity Fist, you can refine this Internal Energy and turn it into assistance!"
Ji Yebai reached out, and a wisp of Five Elements Internal Energy instantly shot into the man's body.
After glancing around once more, Ji Yebai turned and left.
Just ten minutes after Ji Yebai left, several figures on motorcycles rushed over.
"Big Brother Dazhuang, Big Brother Dazhuang!"
Amidst the urgent shouts, a young figure slammed on the brakes, leaving a long black skid mark as the motorcycle stopped, and quickly jumped in front of the burly man.
Dazhuang was startled awake and looked ahead with a jolt.
He saw his little brother looking at him anxiously.
Dazhuang scanned the surroundings but didn't see the figure he was looking for.
"Big Brother Dazhuang, what happened to you!? Is Auntie okay!? Come on, let's get to the hospital quickly!"
Dazhuang nodded and hurriedly picked up his mother.
He sat on his brother's motorcycle and rushed toward the hospital.
No matter what, it was better to go to the hospital.
"Big Brother Dazhuang, how did you fall? And you let Auntie get hurt like this. If you couldn't handle it, you should have called me!"
The young figure spoke to Dazhuang with a look of reproach.
Dazhuang sighed softly and then recounted the events.
The figure flying through the trees, the Expert descending from the sky, healing with Internal Energy, teaching fist techniques...
"Ah!?"
"Big Brother Dazhuang, what did you say!?"
"The Expert taught you fist techniques!?"
The young lad's eyes lit up, and he shouted excitedly, "Big brother, this is a blessing in disguise!"
Ji Yebai's figure appeared before Dazhuang's eyes, and his expression became dazed.
If his mother really could prolong her life and be free from all illnesses, it really would be a blessing in disguise.
...
And at the same time.
In the National Security Bureau.
The lights were brightly lit.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Xiang Dahai stood up with a face full of anger and slammed the table three times.
"A month has passed. I gave you money when you asked for it, and I gave you people when you asked for them. Is this how you handle things!?"
"I'll give you ten more days. You must get this done for me!!!"
"If you can't, all of you get out!!!"
With that.
He slammed the documents in his hand onto the table with a bang.
The documents instantly scattered everywhere.
The entire conference room was suddenly silent as a winter cicada.
Only the cover of the documents on the table was clearly visible.
General Outline of Martial Arts!
