Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

The village chief nodded and said, "I’m aware of that. Yun Sheng made that bed crossbow and we’ve had a few more made. They’ll be delivered to the village gate soon."

Security had always been the village chief’s top priority, so he was well informed about this matter.

Li Yongfeng nodded; he was aware of the village chief’s actions, but still felt it necessary to remind him.

"There are also a lot more spiritual medicines in the mountains. I think we could assign someone specifically to search for them, and it’s okay to venture a little further out."

"I’ll consider it and see how to arrange the manpower."

Although the village chief was not a martial artist, he had a good understanding of them and naturally knew the importance of spiritual medicines to martial artists.

He thought it was possible to go through with this, but arranging the manpower would require some thought.

After Li Yongfeng finished speaking, there was nothing more to discuss.

However, Xu Qu also spoke up, saying, "Village chief, the twelve children at the school can gradually begin to practice the martial artists’ cultivation techniques."

The village chief was taken aback, saying, "Weren’t they too young?"

When Xu Qu had selected martial artists before, he had excluded this age group, so wasn’t it contradictory to say they could now cultivate?

"Indeed, they’re very young, but their constitution is strong enough to make me envious. They are completely qualified for the treatment of a major clan or power. Before, I didn’t let them cultivate because I had limited understanding, and also because their constitution simply wasn’t up to it. Forcing them to cultivate would only damage their bodies. But now it’s different. Mr. Yue has said they can begin to cultivate gradually, as long as they don’t exceed a certain limit each day."

Hearing that it was Yue’s suggestion, the village chief also nodded in agreement.

Yue was not only a Grandmaster Level martial artist, but his experience was the broadest. The village chief knew that Wang Sheng’s experience was not comparable to Mr. Yue’s.

"If that’s the case, then slowly start teaching them the martial artists’ cultivation techniques, but be sure to control the intensity."

"Got it!"

Xu Qu and Zhang Ze both nodded; they were in charge of this task.

Soon, the matter was settled, and everyone set into motion.

At the village gate, several more bed crossbows were added in high positions. These crossbows were made from ordinary materials and were not as difficult to use as the one made by Wang Sheng, so they were manned by ordinary villagers.

Then there were the twelve children at the school who were still undergoing their final training and would soon begin to learn the martial artists’ cultivation techniques.

Ten days later, the village chief disbanded the patrol team and formed an exploration team instead.

Li Yongfeng was still the team leader, with the task of searching for various spiritual medicines and killing demon beasts in the forests.

For this reason, the village chief even paid a visit to Yue.

After that, Yue added a topic to his lessons: the distribution of spiritual medicines and the distinction between demon beasts and spirit beasts.

Particularly regarding the demon and spirit beasts, Yue made a special emphasis.

"Spirit beasts do not attack humans at will, as they are natural spirits. If you encounter them, stay far away and do not provoke or kill them, for it brings misfortune. Of course, if they initiate an attack, you can retaliate. Demon beasts, however, come with no such restriction. If you encounter them and can defeat them, make sure to kill them as much as possible, as long as you ensure your own safety."

Wang Sheng, of course, also got to know this saying.

"It’s quite interesting that you should refrain from killing spirit beasts but try hard to kill demon beasts," he mused.

He also asked Yue for the reason.

Yue himself was not clear: "This has been passed down from generation to generation in Stargazing Valley, and even the Valley Master isn’t particularly clear about the reasoning."

So, the matter was left at that.

However, it was true that spirit beasts did not attack humans arbitrarily. When Da Bai first approached him, it only wanted a contest of skill, not his life.

In the end, he simply took note of it in his mind.

Ancient sayings needed to be taken seriously.

Words passed down through the inheritance of a powerful entity like Stargazing Valley were definitely not trivial matters.

Perhaps when his own power was strong enough, he would come to understand these things...
