"I didn't count. A few dozen," Zhou Wen answered.
"You've failed to pull him up so many times. Why don't you think of another solution?" Wang Mingyuan asked Zhou Wen with interest.
"I just want to see it," Zhou Wen said.
Wang Mingyuan laughed and said, "You're quite interesting. Tell me, how did you pull the chain for the first time?"
Wang Mingyuan's words were obviously directed at Hui Haifeng and the other two.
Hui Haifeng was the first to speak. "When I pulled the chain, I felt that it was too cold, so I sped up and pulled the chain up before my hands froze."
Seeing Wang Mingyuan look at him, Jiang Yan held the book in his hand and said, "I also felt that it was too cold below the chain, so I slowed down. When the chain below left the cold fog for a long time, the temperature naturally wouldn't be that low. I slowly pulled the chain up."
Zhong Ziya pursed his lips but didn't say anything.
Wang Mingyuan said, "Ziya is the most unruly. When he felt that he couldn't pull it up, he used a Primordial Energy Skill to pull the chain up."
"Speaking of which, among the five students who are learning from me, three of them managed to pull the chains up on their first try. Two of them failed. However, you are the first to fail despite pulling so many times," Wang Mingyuan said with a smile.
"Who's the other person who wasn't pulled up?" Zhou Wen asked curiously.
"One of your seniors has already graduated." Wang Mingyuan said indifferently and didn't mention it again. He continued to say to Zhou Wen, "The rules are that rookies are only allowed to rest after pulling the chains up."
"Alright." Zhou Wen walked back to Dragon's Well and reached out to pull the chain up again.
However, Zhou Wen didn't seem to have learned his lesson, nor did he gain the experience of his seniors. He continued pulling at his previous rhythm, but he still failed to pull the chain up.
Wang Mingyuan just smiled and didn't care about him anymore. He took off his winter clothes and put on light clothes. Then he put on an apron, took out the vegetables and other things, and started to cook.
Not long after, the dishes were ready. There weren't many dishes, and they were relatively light. Basically, they were all vegetarian dishes. The only meat dish was boiled eggs.
The few students gathered around the table to eat. Zhou Wen put down the chain and came over, ignoring the rules.
Wang Mingyuan didn't say a word as he handed Zhou Wen a bowl and chopsticks. He scooped a bowl of porridge and an egg for each of them.
After the meal, Zhou Wen continued pulling the chains. Wang Mingyuan, Hui Haifeng, and company did their own things. Apart from the necessary exchanges, they didn't speak much.
Zhou Wen had originally come here to learn palm techniques, but he ended up being the one pulling the chains. He ate and slept as usual until noon the next day. Only then did he manage to pull the nearly 200-meter-long chain up.
When the end of the chain was pulled out, Zhou Wen was taken aback.
At first glance, the end of the chain looked like a giant fish hook, but upon closer inspection, it was not a fish hook, but a ship's anchor.
Furthermore, Zhou Wen had seen such an anchor twice. Once was in the Xiyuan Dimensional Store, and the other time was on Gu Dian's pocket watch.
However, the anchor didn't have a woman's side profile. Furthermore, the barbs were sharpened, making it look like they were used as hooks.
Zhou Wen reached out to touch the side of the anchor and realized that it had been polished. He couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Dragons are very greedy creatures, especially when it comes to their appetite." As Wang Mingyuan spoke, he carried a bag of Companion Eggs over and used a rope to secure them to the hooks.
"Put it down. I hope there will be something next time," Wang Mingyuan said as he looked at the bottomless Dragon's Well.
Zhou Wen put down the chain again. After doing all the work, he came to Wang Mingyuan and asked, "Counselor, is there anything else you need me to do?"
"In the future, you will be in charge of pulling the chain. Anything else will depend on your interests. I heard from Little Fei that you want to learn palm techniques? "Wang Mingyuan said gently.
"Yes." Zhou Wen nodded.
"Most cultivators these days train in weapons. Even if they train in physical skills, most people train in their fists and legs. There are very few who train in their palms and fingers. It's mainly because fist and leg techniques are easy to learn but difficult to master. Palm and fingers are difficult to learn but easy to master. There's no difference between the two. It's the same when trained to the extreme. However, most people like to start with the simple basics. That's why fist and leg techniques are so popular in modern times. As for palm and fingers, they're too difficult to learn, so very few people practice them, "Wang Mingyuan said after some thought.
"If I want to practice palm techniques, how should I get started?" Although Zhou Wen knew Ashen Palm, it was only a method of using strength and not a technique. Now, what Zhou Wen wanted to learn was a technique.
"That depends on what kind of palm technique you want to practice. Fist on the outside and palm on the inside. Typical fist techniques exert force from the outside, but palm techniques attack the inside. There's an old saying in the past that it's better to suffer ten punches than one palm strike. It means that the palm strike will directly injure the organs, causing more serious damage to the body. However, it's too difficult to get started with internal palm techniques. It requires a long period of hard work. If you only want to learn palm techniques, I have a few rather good palm techniques here. It's also relatively easy to get started. There are my notes on them. You can practice according to the notes, "Wang Mingyuan said as he took out a diary and handed it to Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen opened it and saw that it was filled with the contents of palm techniques. Furthermore, they were all written by hand. Many of them had detailed notes, making it easy to understand at a glance.
Wang Mingyuan's handwriting was beautiful and had a strong character. It was truly rare to find good calligraphy. Even though Zhou Wen didn't know calligraphy, he found it very beautiful and comforting.
"Thank you, Counselor. I'll take a look at these palm techniques first. I'll consult you on the rest in the future." Zhou Wen had come for the palm techniques, so the diary was like a treasure to him.
Wang Mingyuan didn't say anything else as he continued his research.
Zhou Wen stayed in the laboratory and basically pulled the chains once a day. There were many Companion Eggs hanging on them, but when he pulled them up, the Companion Eggs were gone. It was the same every time.
This made Zhou Wen somewhat curious. He wanted to use his phone to enter Dragon's Well to investigate. However, he had been studying the palm techniques that Wang Mingyuan had given him recently, so he didn't deliberately enter the game.
There were a total of seven palm techniques recorded in the diary. Although the moves were different, they were basically the same. However, some of the subtleties were extracted by Wang Mingyuan.
There was a move extracted from each palm technique. The seven palm techniques had a total of seven moves. These seven moves were named the Seven Distribution Palm by Wang Mingyuan. Each move was extremely ingenious and had a completely different style.
