"Wow, is that true?"
Lu Xiaodie made an exaggerated expression, then waved her hand and said, "I won't learn your Taoist temple's martial arts, but can you guide me on this peerless sword technique so I can create a sword style of my own!"
Since Lu Xiaodie was expelled from the Hengshan Sect and their sect leader even forbade her from using their sect's martial arts, Lu Xiaodie had been studying a sword style and martial arts of her own. She was quite talented in swordsmanship, as evidenced by her ability to comprehend those few sword moves from Wan Yunting's calligraphy, which showed her prowess.
"Alright, I'll guide you then."
Wan Yunting nodded and took a few steps forward with Lu Xiaodie onto the open ground, saying, "However, this peerless sword technique is a sword style practiced by both men and women. I can't fully grasp its essence practicing alone."
Lu Xiaodie asked curiously, "Then how did you learn it? Did you practice with someone?"
"Yes."
Wan Yunting smiled and nodded. The scene of him practicing sword with Senior Sister Zhou Ruoxi in the valley back then flashed in his mind. A gentle smile involuntarily appeared on his face. Lu Xiaodie saw it immediately and rolled her eyes, saying, "Little brother, you're quite the player, flitting around with so many girls. Tell me, which sect's female disciple did you practice sword with?"
Wan Yunting, who had snapped back to reality, looked a little embarrassed and smiled, "Practicing sword, Sister Lu..."
Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, Lu Xiaodie didn't press further. Learning sword was more important...
So, Wan Yunting demonstrated the sword technique while Lu Xiaodie followed along, learning from him and understanding the insights of the peerless sword technique. However, this was a sword technique practiced by both men and women, and it was paired with the peerless Yin-Yang cultivation method. To unleash the full power of the peerless sword technique, one had to cultivate and practice sword together, just like Wan Yunting and Zhou Ruoxi did, achieving a state of oneness, to unleash its ultimate power.
Unknowingly, the two practiced sword until nine in the morning, then returned the Tai Chi Sword to Elder Chen and Elder Hong. Since Wan Yunting still had to go to the Traditional Chinese Medicine department of Southern Hospital today and had many things to do, he naturally didn't have much time to accompany Lu Xiaodie in practicing sword...
On the way down the mountain, Lu Xiaodie chattered about sword techniques. Seeing her desire to create her own sword style, Wan Yunting naturally offered many suggestions and insights. However, his specialty was not swordsmanship. Although he had practiced the peerless sword technique in coordination with Zhou Ruoxi and was familiar with the boundless sword technique, Wan Yunting was just a beginner in the Wuji Heavenly Gang Sword technique, and he had been practicing this technique recently.
The Wuji Heavenly Gang Sword technique was a sharp and domineering sword style, which focused on the circulation of qi and how to maximize the attack of qi through sword techniques. Among them, the "collapse sword" was the most overbearing and powerful.
"By the way, little brother, you said earlier that to unleash the greatest power of the peerless sword technique, one needs to practice the peerless Yin-Yang cultivation method with a partner. What kind of cultivation method is that? Can I practice it with you?" Lu Xiaodie asked with a pure and focused curiosity.
...Wan Yunting was almost stunned to death by her words. He turned his head and looked at her in astonishment, saying, "Sister Lu, this peerless Yin-Yang cultivation method cannot be practiced casually with just anyone."
"Why?"
Lu Xiaodie looked at him with confusion. Wan Yunting couldn't help but laugh, chuckling, "Because this is a dual cultivation method for men and women!"
Lu Xiaodie was stunned and immediately rolled her eyes, looking at him with disdain and shaking her head, "Oh little brother, how many girls have you harmed? You even know this kind of dual cultivation technique. It's not that I, your sister, am calling you a scumbag."
"Sigh."
Wan Yunting smiled bitterly with a face full of helplessness. Lu Xiaodie, with her bright eyes, glanced at him sideways and giggled, "Tell me, is this dual cultivation technique really that powerful? Can it double a person's power?"
"Cough cough..."
Wan Yunting coughed twice, glanced at Lu Xiaodie who was walking down the mountain beside him, and finally waved his hand and smiled, "Forget it, I'd better not say it. It's too embarrassing..."
"No, what's there to be embarrassed about with me? Hurry up and tell me..."
Seeing him quicken his pace down the mountain, Lu Xiaodie was exasperated and quickly caught up, hugging Wan Yunting's left arm. Wan Yunting glanced at Lu Xiaodie from the corner of his eye. Unable to resist her pestering, he had no choice but to tell her...
When the two returned home, after breakfast, Wan Yunting went upstairs to change his clothes, then came down to greet Lu Xiaodie and Huang Guilan before leaving by car for the Traditional Chinese Medicine department of Southern Hospital...
"Doctor Wan, you're back."
At the front desk of the Traditional Chinese Medicine department, Nurse Sister Yan and Xiao Fang saw Wan Yunting enter and immediately exclaimed with joy and rushed forward to greet him, grabbing his arms on both sides and laughing, "It's been almost a month! I thought you had resigned from the hospital."
Immediately, Pharmacist Chen in the pharmacy and Dai Xiaotong, who was escorting a patient downstairs, also greeted Wan Yunting. Wan Yunting naturally waved back at them and then smiled at Sister Yan and the others, saying, "How could I? I was just delayed by some matters. I only returned yesterday."
"We know, you went to Shaoxing to participate in that calligraphy competition and won first place." Sister Yan said with a smile.
Pharmacist Chen gave him a thumbs-up and laughed, "Little Wan's Shuijin body calligraphy is truly superb. Winning first place in this year's Lanting Award calligraphy competition is well-deserved."
"Mm."
Pharmacist He also walked out and immediately smiled at Wan Yunting, saying, "Little Wan, you've become an overnight sensation in the art world. Many of my friends know you're from our Traditional Chinese Medicine department and even want me to ask if I can get a piece of your calligraphy."
"Is it Old Wu and the others?"
Pharmacist Chen turned to Pharmacist He and waved his hand, saying, "Let them dream. Now, a piece of Little Wan's calligraphy can sell for hundreds of thousands or even millions. Even if Little Wan is willing to write one, Old Wu and those brats don't have the money to buy it."
"I know."
Pharmacist He also waved his hand and smiled back at Wan Yunting, saying, "I've already sent them away. But Little Wan, is your calligraphy really that valuable now?"
Sister Yan and Xiao Fang, who had been holding Wan Yunting's arm, also stared at him with sparkling eyes, clearly having their own ideas.
"Sigh."
Wan Yunting smiled and shook his head, saying, "What's so valuable about it? It's just those people deliberately manipulating things."
"That's not right. I heard on the forums of the literati association that your calligraphy is worth several million. Last night, on the forum, I even saw someone selling your prescription, and it was sold!" Pharmacist Chen said, widening his eyes.
This time, Wan Yunting was taken aback and chuckled, shaking his head, "I really didn't know about this."
What Pharmacist Chen said was true. After all, the prescriptions Wan Yunting wrote for patients were mostly in Shuijin body calligraphy, and they were signed and stamped. Now that he had won first place in the Lanting Award calligraphy competition, he was rumored to be a young calligraphy prodigy in the calligraphy world, and his fame was soaring.
Last night, when he was having dinner at Fang Guowen's house, Meng Xuehai and Chen Wenbin had also mentioned that many bosses who liked calligraphy were offering high prices to collect his calligraphy, with some works even being bid up to tens of millions.
Therefore, many patients who had seen Wan Yunting before and kept his prescriptions had openly put Wan Yunting's handwritten prescriptions up for auction on the art forum of the literati association, causing quite a stir within the literati association.
