The idea of building a rural leisure farm was still just a concept.
They had to develop hot springs first to build the farm stay, otherwise there wouldn't be enough customers and it would be a losing business.
"We'll talk about it when the time comes. Right now, there isn't even a stroke in the character 'eight'." Luo Yang said.
"Boss, if this succeeds, let me have a share as well, okay?" Fang Lin said coquettishly.
"Sure. Sister Fang, I won't let you down. I'll make sure you eat well and sleep well. The precondition is that you help me do good work," Luo Yang said with a smile.
While they were chatting, An Yuying called him.
Without even answering, Luo Yang knew that An Yuying was urging him to come back.
Once he picked up the phone, he heard An Yuying say sweetly, "Cowboy, why haven't you come back yet? What are you and Fang Lin doing?"
Fang Lin laughed and said, "Yuying, he is coming back soon."
Lately, the relationship between An Yuying and Luo Yang had gradually become public, and she was very clingy.
Luo Yang finally experienced what life with a girlfriend was like, mainly at a mental level.
After saying goodbye to Fang Lin, he returned to Qin Piao's house, where several beauties were still chatting.
After soaking in a medicinal bath and getting a massage, they all were still quite excited.
When they saw Luo Yang return, they wanted him to teach them martial arts.
That evening, Luo Yang had promised Hong Jiaxin that he would teach her a set of martial arts techniques.
Given Hong Jiaxin's foundation, learning the Eagle Claw Technique would be no problem.
An Yuying and Qin Piao could only continue practicing Horse Stance, first mastering the lower stance, suitable for routine practice later on.
"Class leader, Sister An, Sister Piao, you all took showers, do you still want to train?" Luo Yang asked.
"I can't sleep anyway, teach me the techniques," Hong Jiaxin requested.
"Class leader, why don't I help you study instead? We can't fall behind on homework," Luo Yang said earnestly.
Upon hearing this, all three beauties laughed.
An Yuying, unable to listen any longer, said with a smile, "Cowboy, you are also advising Jiaxin to study."
Luo Yang laughed and said, "Sister An, you underestimate me. In a few days, you'll all see that I'm a scholarly tyrant."
No one believed his words.
"You promised to teach me the techniques," Hong Jiaxin said.
"Alright, come over here."
The next room was empty and spacious enough for practicing the techniques.
So Hong Jiaxin followed Luo Yang into the empty room.
An Yuying and Qin Piao came to watch the fun.
Luo Yang had successfully 'stolen' the Eagle Claw Technique learned from the Ying Zhao Yan Xing Sect.
Even the most intelligent person would find it difficult to master the Eagle Claw Technique after seeing it just once.
Thanks to his excellent memory, Luo Yang first memorized the technique, then replayed it slowly like a movie in his mind, and with his foundation, he mastered it after several understandings.
"The main techniques of the Eagle Claw Technique are grabbing, striking, pinching, hooking, taking, and embracing," Luo Yang explained.
"It requires grabbing the opponent's wrist, tendon spaces, bone joints, and vital acupoints during a fight."
"A saying goes: Touching the clothes stops the pulse, separating muscles and misplacing bones, targeting acupoints stops the breath."
"When applied, you must strike explosively, capture with both hands, and only when the hands are positioned correctly do they form a claw. First, extend the fingers like the character 'eight', and when they reach the opponent's wrist or make contact with the body, suddenly transform them into claws, whether to grab, take, hook, or pinch."
"Class leader, I'll teach you based on my understanding," said Luo Yang.
Luo Yang was unclear about how the Ying Zhao Yan Xing Sect practiced, but he had learned the Eagle Claw Technique.
Hong Jiaxin thought Luo Yang was passing on his insights to her, but in reality, he was teaching her the Eagle Claw Technique as he had stealthily learned it, naturally instructing in the way he thought was best.
"Class leader, first lift your hands through your chest, then push them to the sides, forward, up, and down respectively, making them into claws as your arms fully extend."
"Lift your hands and your breath, push your palms and sink your breath, and when transforming into claws, gather your breath, guiding the airflow with your intention, making the force penetrate through palms and claws. Like this," Luo Yang instructed as he demonstrated.
Hong Jiaxin was also a smart person, just not as quick a learner as Luo Yang.
After half an hour of learning, Hong Jiaxin was drenched in fragrant sweat.
An Yuying and Qin Piao also wanted to learn, but their aptitude was relatively poor, amounting to little more than flailing their arms and legs about, and they gave up after a couple of tries.
They played until after two in the morning before going back to their rooms to sleep.
That night, there had been a plan to send the Yin Spirit out to the Lin Family to scout for any information.
From Hongyun Brigade to Shilu Market, it was neither too far nor too near.
The Yin Spirit would have to drift for several miles, which was always somewhat risky.
By then, it was too late at night, and Luo Yang gave up the idea of scouting for information.
In the Shennong Scripture's landscape painting, besides caves, ponds, and brooks, there were also forests.
Looking at the towering ancient trees, the dim forest intermittently let out faint roars that piqued Luo Yang's curiosity and caution.
Although he was now quite skilled, he still did not dare to recklessly enter the forest.
He had gone in and out of the landscape painting many times, but had never seen any ferocious animals.
He had seen several types of fish, but as for the roars coming from the forest, Luo Yang could not figure out what kind of animal it was, it was neither a lion's roar nor a tiger's growl, and definitely not the bark of a dog.
The deep and resounding growls continued, indicating that the creature had a very large lung capacity.
The fish pond was already dug, and soon they would be able to farm Yangtze shad, Yangtze River swordfish, yellow lip fish, and giant tuna.
With just these types of fish, opening an agritourism business would attract customers.
Sampling delicacies had always been one of the city dwellers' favorite pastimes.
However, having only food and no entertainment was still not ideal.
Luo Yang thought that once he had accumulated enough funds, he would first build a road to the hot springs deep in the mountains, then develop the springs into individual hot spring pools to create a tourist destination, combined with the agritourism venture; this business could thrive for a century and benefit future generations.
With the blueprint of Peach Blossom Garden in mind, and the ability to make it a reality, Luo Yang felt very excited.
Thinking of someday becoming a famous figure in Hongyun Town was truly an honor to his ancestors.
When it comes to Hongyun Town, one must mention the Lin Family.
The grudge with the Lin Family was a fierce rivalry of life and death.
For now, the Lin Family held the upper hand.
Luo Yang was no pushover, having taken out one of the Lin Family's henchmen marked a good beginning.
Once all of the Lin Family's henchmen were removed, he wondered how arrogant the Lin Family could still be.
Having practiced martial arts in the landscape painting and absorbed the moon's energy through his Soul Out of Body for half an hour, it was already past four in the morning.
Upon exiting the landscape painting, he slept till dawn, which in fact amounted to just over three hours of sleep.
The air within the landscape painting was very fresh, and with plenty of oxygen, he felt very refreshed even after staying there for more than two hours.
Although he had slept for less than four hours, Luo Yang was full of energy.
He needed to help Fang Lin move in the morning, so Luo Yang had to wake up early.
On Monday, An Yuying had to go to the village school to teach, so she also needed to get up early.
Hong Jiaxin's biological clock remained undisturbed, and when Luo Yang got up, she followed suit.
Only Qin Piao was still in bed; once everyone else was up, she had no choice but to get up as well.
Luo Yang and Hong Jiaxin usually only slept at Qin Piao's house, ate their meals at the Luo Family's house, and showered wherever was convenient.
Having heard that Fang Lin was moving in, Hong Jiaxin and Qin Piao also went over to help.
In reality, Fang Lin didn't have much to move: a bamboo mat, a few daily necessities, a suitcase, a bag of clothes—all of which Luo Yang could have brought over on his own.
Qin Piao's house had the room, but not enough beds.
Moreover, they had to clear out a room for practicing martial arts, so Fang Lin had to share a bed with Qin Piao.
In the daytime, they still had to go to the county town to experience, and also had to stop by the Shuang Qiao company first to see what the debt collectors had to say.
A couple of days ago, Luo Yang had invited his homeroom teacher Suyun to register for a driving course, unaware if she was free that afternoon.
So, Luo Yang asked Hong Jiaxin to call Suyun.
