Supreme Grandpa

After more than two hours of going back and forth between the pit that stored the treasures which was not far from the Yang Family courtyard, Xiao Laoxu finally brought all the treasures over.

When Yang Song saw the pile of treasures, he was stunned. After he counted, he found that there was a total of 158 pieces of treasures, including big and small.

Most of the treasures were medicinal materials and precious parts of abyssal beasts. Only a few were tools.

Among few tools, their grades were not so much different from each other, but there was one treasure that stood out and attracted Yang Song\'s attention the most.

It was a thin white shirt made of a special kind of unknown material. Feeling extremely curious, Yang Song turned on his Eyes of Insight and looked at it.

But the system prompt made him stunned.

[Sorry Host, Eyes of Insight can only allow you to analyze people, things related to immortal cultivation, and abyssal beasts\' natural attributes. To upgrade your skill, please wait until the system\'s next upgrade.]

"I see, so the Spiritual Energy Binding Flower is an item for immortal cultivation, right?" Yang Song nodded and asked, then he looked at the Spiritual Energy Binding Flower beside him.

[Yes, Host.]

Yang Song took a breath and continued, "So when will you upgrade?"

[When Host becomes a Core Formation Realm cultivator.]

Yang Song fell into silence. To become a Core Formation Realm cultivator, Yang Song would have to take several months. Actually, if there was no need to consolidate his cultivation realm, Yang Song was confident that he would be able to hit the Core Formation Realm one or two months later.

However, in cultivation, what mattered the most was the foundation, not the speed of cultivation. Yang Song did not want to break through so fast because that would be no different from damaging his foundation. It was the reason why Yang Song deliberately stayed idle or just messed around here and there.

But from Yang Song\'s previous experience of battling against those assassins, he found out that fighting could also help him consolidate his foundation, and it was the best method at that.

Hence, now, Yang Song was considering finding ways to fight. He could go out and purposely pick a fight with other people, he could find some thugs, he could also go to dangerous areas to fight with the abyssal beasts…

Yang Song fondled the Spiritual Energy Binding Flower while thinking of ways to consolidate his foundation, suddenly, Xiao Laoxu who was staying silent and watching him from the side made a sound, "Squeak, Master, w-what is that baby?" Xiao Laoxu then pointed towards the Spiritual Energy Binding Flower in Yang Song\'s hand.

Hearing this question, Yang Song answered without thinking, "Spiritual Energy Binding Flower."

Hearing such a long and difficult to understand name, Xiao Laoxu frowned. But he did not care much about the name, "T-then, Master, can I eat it?"

Yang Song raised his brows and thought that this mouse had become very daring somehow. He solemnly refused without thinking, "This thing is indeed a good thing, but if you eat it, there\'s a possibility of exploding yourself to death."

This was the truth. There was so much Spiritual Energy inside the flower, a low-level beast like Xiao Laoxu wouldn\'t be able to take it at all.

Xiao Laoxu didn\'t doubt Yang Song\'s words at all because Yang Song made such a solemn face. He shuddered at the thought of that, so he backed away a little from the flower.

Yang Song then stored the Spiritual Energy Binding Flower in the storage space. After that, he looked at the 158 pieces of treasures and with a thought, all the treasures were stored inside.

Afterward, Yang Song got up from the futon and walked to the table. On the table, there was a notebook. This notebook was what Yang Mei\'er had given Yang Song previously.

Yang Song opened the notebook and looked through it for a while. After making sure again and again that there were no problems with the technique, Yang Song turned his gaze and stared at Xiao Laoxu.

Xiao Laoxu felt the gaze and wondered what Yang Song was thinking.

In fact, Yang Song was looking at Xiao Laoxu with the Eyes of Insight. Above Xiao Laoxu\'s head, there was a red circle and some information.

Species: Golden-Eyed Mouse

Combat Power: 1st Tier Soldier monster

Talent: hole drilling (100), treasure hunting (100), wisdom (69), comprehension (25), language (70)

Previously, Yang Song also wanted to find a way to help Xiao Laoxu improve his strength. He could also use the Washing Marrow Pill, but the cost would be not so low. But now, with Yang Mei\'er\'s technique, Yang Song felt that he would be able to solve this problem easily.

So Yang Song gave the book to Xiao Laoxu and said, "Look at this book."

Xiao Laoxu was taken aback for a moment, thinking that Yang Song didn\'t keep his promise and ask him to do exercise again. But when he saw that there were only pictures in the book, he was relief tremendously.

After a while, he finished looking through everything. He felt that the postures and the signs in the book were easy to understand and imitate, but he did not know what was the use of doing that.

Seeing Xiao Laoxu\'s puzzled face, Yang Song explained, "This is a martial art technique that allows beasts to practice."

Hearing this, Xiao Laoxu felt excited in an instant, "Squeak, really?"

After staying in human society for so long, Xiao Laoxu had witnessed many battles between people and beasts. When fighting, especially humans, they had so many cool moves and could use so many cool weapons.

Every man\'s dream was to practice martial arts and fight with their cool moves. Xiao Laoxu, as a male mouse, was no different from a male human.

Now, his Master said that the thing he had just looked at earlier was a martial art technique, how could he not be excited?

Seeing Xiao Laoxu\'s unconcealed excitement, Yang Song let out a smile and said, "Well, did you remember it?"

Xiao Laoxu froze for a second and thought of all the moves he had seen earlier. Then, he scratched his head and pleaded, "Squeak, Master, please let me look at it again, j-just a little."

In Xiao Laoxu\'s mind, martial art techniques were extremely precious and could be regarded as supreme treasures, and this resulted in his humble behavior.

Yang Song felt speechless and laughed, "Here you go."

Xiao Laoxu took the book again, but this time, he held it very carefully as if afraid that if he was not careful enough, he would damage this treasure.

Xiao Laoxu turned all the pages one by one very seriously this time as if to make sure that every single detail would be imprinted in his mind.

It took a full ten minutes for him to read all the contents.

When Yang Song took the book back, he asked the excited Xiao Laoxu, "You understand which part of the two parts you should practice, right?"

Xiao Laoxu nodded vigorously, "Squeak, yes, I should practice the first part which is for my frail body."

Yang Song nodded, "Good, then you can start now."

Xiao Laoxu then walked away from Yang Song a bit and started.

First, he closed his eyes and tried to sense his Inner Core which was positioned in his brain nucleus.

After he sensed his Inner Core, he started feeling the strength in his body that was scattered in all parts of his body. For Xiao Laoxu who used his limbs to dig the ground often, it was extremely easy to sense and guide his strength.

In science terms, strength was the ability to accelerate a mass form a state of rest, which resulted in the production of muscular force.

But in martial arts terms, strength was invisible energy that scattered here and there inside human body. As long as humans could guide those invisible energies and make use of it properly, they would be naturally strong. Therefore, the martial artists gave this invisible energy a simple name – Martial Energy.

Immediately after that, Xiao Laoxu slowly controlled his scattered Martial Energy and guided it towards his Inner Core.

After his Martial Energy entered the Inner Core, it was as if the Inner Core had become alive as it suddenly revealed a warm and comfortable feeling. 

After all the Martial Energy entered his Inner Core, Xiao Laoxu let out a breath and opened his eyes.

The first and fundamental step in practicing martial arts was a success.

The next step was to practice the martial technique.

The technique made by Yang Mei\'er was derived from the human\'s Basic Martial Arts Technique. After the derivation, Yang Mei\'er made some simple changes with the area of the limb and replaced it with beast limbs.

However, this martial art technique was obviously only suitable for beasts with hands. Since it was a basic technique, it only contained some rudimentary moves that involved punching, kicking, evading, blocking, and a few other simple moves.

Every time Xiao Laoxu punched or kicked, his Martial Energy would rush over very quickly, adding strength to his punch and kick. With that, his punches and kicks were full of power.

Seeing Xiao Laoxu\'s vigorous moves, Yang Song nodded in appreciation. But in Yang Song\'s mind, he thought that even if this little guy knew such moves, he was still not an opponent of a bigger enemy.

Therefore, Yang Song felt that it was necessary to modify a technique for the little Xiao Laoxu.
