Chapter 126 Barbecue
Yan Jijin tapped the table lightly and said, "This shows that you still have a lot of room for improvement. Studying is not a one-day job, it requires patience and perseverance. However, I can give you some advice."
Yan Canglan's eyes flashed with anticipation, and he asked hurriedly: "Cousin, tell me."
Yan Jijin smiled and said, "Reading requires a method. First, choose books that suit you, and don't blindly follow the crowd. Second, read step by step, and don't rush for quick success. Finally, you must be good at summarizing and thinking, and internalize the knowledge you have learned into your own wisdom."
Yan Canglan nodded in agreement, and his admiration for Yan Jijin grew even stronger.
Yan Canglan's eyes flashed with determination, and he said, "I understand, cousin. I will follow your advice and strive to make a breakthrough in my studies."
The two chatted for a while, and Yan Jijin glanced at the sky outside the window and said, "It's getting late, I should go back. You study hard and don't let me down."
When Yan Canglan returned to Rong Xi Tang, he saw Yao Dingtian standing at the door waiting for him from afar.
Yan Canglan quickened his pace, secretly guessing the purpose of Yao Dingtian's visit. Master Yao was a well-known martial arts master in the martial arts world, and he was standing in front of Rongxi Hall waiting for him personally, so there must be something important.
As he approached, Yan Canglan looked up and saw Yao Dingtian standing tall, with sharp eyes and a faint smile on his face. He hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Master Yao, you are waiting here in person. I wonder what's the matter?"
Yao Dingtian smiled slightly and said, "Young Master Yan, I came here to discuss martial arts with you."
Yan Canglan's heart moved. He had heard that Yao Dingtian was proficient in martial arts, and thought that this might be an opportunity to improve his martial arts. So, he replied respectfully: "Master Yao, I am willing to listen to your teachings."
The two walked into Rongxi Hall and sat down as host and guest. Yan Canglan made a cup of fragrant tea and handed it to Yao Dingtian.
Yao Dingtian took a sip of tea and said, "Young Master Yan, I have observed you for a long time and feel that you have a very high talent for martial arts, but your training methods need to be improved. Today, I will teach you a unique martial arts method."
Yan Canglan's eyes lit up, and he said hurriedly: "I am very grateful, but I wonder what is so unique about this method?"
Yao Dingtian smiled slightly and said, "This mental method is called 'Wu Xiang Sheng Gong'. When practicing, you need to abandon all distracting thoughts and achieve a perfect harmony between the mind and nature. If you succeed in practicing this method, your martial arts skills will be taken to a higher level."
Yan Canglan was very excited when he heard this, but he was still a little confused and asked, "Master Yao, is this mental method difficult to practice?"
Yao Dingtian looked at Yan Canglan, a trace of approval flashed in his eyes, and said: "It is indeed not easy to practice the Wuxiang Divine Art, but you have the talent. As long as you practice hard, you will succeed. Today, I will teach you the secret formula of the secret method."
After Yao Dingtian finished speaking, he began to explain the method of practicing Wuxiang Divine Art. Yan Canglan listened with fascination, nodded from time to time, and kept it in mind.
His eyebrows were furrowed, his eyes were focused, as if he was trying to comprehend every word Yao Dingtian said. His fingers were unconsciously pinched together, and he looked a little nervous.
After Yao Dingtian finished his story, he asked, "Young Master Yan, do you understand?"
Yan Canglan opened his eyes, with a determined light in them, and said, "I understand, and I will practice diligently."
Yao Dingtian nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, then you can go and practice. I will observe from the side and correct you if there is anything wrong."
Yan Canglan stood up, bowed deeply to Yao Dingtian, and then turned and walked towards the backyard of Rong Xi Tang. He found a quiet corner, closed his eyes, and began to practice Wu Xiang Divine Art.
At this moment, Yan Canglan's expression is portrayed as follows: his face is filled with firm belief, and the corners of his mouth are slightly raised, as if he has seen the day when his cultivation will succeed. His body gradually relaxes, and his breathing becomes smooth, as if he has merged with the surrounding environment.
Yao Dingtian observed silently from the side, with a hint of relief in his eyes.
Yan Canglan stood in the arena, his eyes were sharp and his demeanor was calm. His opponent was a well-known warrior, but in front of Yan Canglan's powerful strength, he seemed vulnerable.
After the competition, Yan Canglan bowed deeply to Yao Dingtian and said, "I am grateful to Master Yao for teaching me the Wuxiang Divine Art, which has enabled me to achieve such results today."
Yao Dingtian smiled and patted Yan Canglan on the shoulder, saying: "Young Master Yan, your achievements are not only due to the Wuxiang Divine Art, but also to your own efforts. I am proud of you."

The next morning, the farm sent someone to deliver barbecue again, which made Green Gourd very happy. She took the fragrant barbecue and chatted excitedly with the servant who delivered the meat. Lady Lu Yundi of the Yan Mansion came out from the inner hall and couldn't help but smile when she saw Green Gourd's cheerful look.
Lu Yundi walked up to Lu Hu and asked softly, "Lu Hu, you look so happy, is there something good?" Lu Hu turned around and saw his wife coming over. He immediately stopped smiling and replied politely, "Madam, the farm has sent some barbecue, and I was just about to send it to you."
Lu Yundi nodded slightly, with a look of satisfaction in her eyes: "Okay, let's go together." After that, she and Lu Hulu walked towards the dining room together.
A sumptuous breakfast was already on the table, and the aroma of roasted meat filled the entire room. Lu Yundi sat down, and Lu Hulu poured her a cup of tea. The two sat opposite each other, and Lu Yundi looked at Lu Hulu and smiled, "Lu Hulu, why are you so happy today?"
Green Gourd's cheeks flushed slightly, and he said embarrassedly: "Madam, actually I was thinking of my childhood at the farm. At that time, whenever the farm sent barbecue, I always couldn't wait to have a bite. Although I am in Yan Mansion now, this taste reminds me of my hometown."
A trace of emotion flashed in Lu Yundi's eyes, and she said softly: "Lu Hulu, you are doing well here. Although the Yan Mansion is big, I always treat you as a relative. Sometimes, I also feel that you are like my daughter."
Green Gourd lowered his head with emotion, tears welling up in his eyes: "Madam, I know. I also feel very lucky to have met a master like you. I will serve you more attentively and let you live a better life."
Lu Yundi stood up and said to Lu Hulu, "Lu Hulu, please accompany me to take a walk in the garden this morning. The weather has been good recently, so it's a good opportunity to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Yan Mansion."
Lu Hu agreed happily and followed Lu Yundi to the garden of Yan Mansion. The garden was full of birdsong and flowers, full of vitality. Lu Yundi strolled among the flower paths, feeling happy. Lu Hu followed closely behind her, explaining various flowers and plants to her from time to time.
Before they knew it, it was already afternoon. Lu Yundi and Lu Hu returned to their room and took a short rest. Lu Hu looked out the window, feeling deeply moved. She could no longer leave Yan Mansion and Lu Yundi. In the following days, she took even more care of Lu Yundi and helped her solve her problems.
