Yang Lifeng pondered for a mont and then said, "Since that is the case, I will also give it a try and help you contact them, Grandmaster Zhang. However, my connections are limited, and I don’t have much influence. The success rate..."
Low!
Extrely low. It is an unbelievable feat for even one in ten people to be willing to share their martial arts with others!
It’s like asking soone to share half of their family heirloom—who would be willing to do that?
Zhang Beixing nodded, showing he understood.
Their willingness to help in this matter was enough to make Zhang Beixing very grateful.
As for the outco, that would depend on luck!
Regardless, he committed this favor to heart.
「...」
Afterward, the group of over twenty people chatted and agreed to gather at Zhang Beixing’s ho in seven days to report their results before dispersing.
Zhang Beixing then went back to the Chen Family with Elder Chen to read in the library, supplenting his foundation while waiting for news from all quarters. While he was reading in the library, Zhang Beixing suddenly thought of his significant number of followers on Douyin. With my online influence, it should be sowhat helpful. I’ll try making a public plea!
With that thought, he took out his phone, pointed it at himself, and recorded a video:
"Hello everyone, I am Zhang Beixing. Today, I am posting this video to ask for your help with a matter.
"My current martial arts attainnts have reached the level of a Grandmaster. As the saying goes, ’Man strives upwards, water flows downwards.’ Having beco a Grandmaster, my next goal is to beco a Great Grandmaster.
"However, the conditions to break through to Great Grandmaster are extrely stringent, requiring one to be a Master of All in martial arts.
"Therefore, I am appealing to everyone online. If any of you have any martial arts secret book, please contact privately. There will be a generous reward!"
After recording, Zhang Beixing posted the video online.
Honestly, the video was rather shaless, as it bluntly asked netizens for help. But since things had co to this, Zhang Beixing had no better option.
If successful, as a form of repaynt, he was willing to teach these supportive netizens as a Great Grandmaster. He would certainly not treat them unfairly.
Over the past few days, his popularity hadn’t fully waned, and Zhang Beixing was still at the center of public attention.
Coupled with his enormous number of followers and the martial arts-related content of the video, it imdiately drew a lot of attention upon release.
"First! Watching daily, Brother Dan is aweso!"
"I clicked excitedly, only to open the comnts section with disappointnt. Bro, I thought you were pulling so new stunt, but this is it?"
"Indeed, quite disappointing. But what is a Great Grandmaster? Is becoming a Great Grandmaster by achieving mastery in all martial arts really that hard?"
"Speaking of martial arts secret books, I do have one at ho, not sure if it’s real. Sent you a private ssage @ZhangBeixing, take a look!"
"....."
The comnts section was buzzing. Many people noticed that Zhang Beixing’s video was a plea for help—specifically for martial arts secret books.
So searched their hos and sent photos to Zhang Beixing via private ssage.
Zhang Beixing was very happy to see so many people responding to his plea. He eagerly checked the ssages, only to be greatly disappointed.
How should one put it? Although these netizens were enthusiastic, the martial arts secret books they sent couldn’t be said to be useless—rather, they were completely unusable.
Zhang Beixing reviewed them and found that out of ten such secret manuals, nine and a half were fake!
The only authentic half was also incomplete, just a few pages, offering Zhang Beixing no help at all.
Nevertheless, Zhang Beixing felt the netizens’ kind intentions.
So, he thanked each person individually, tactfully explaining that what they sent wasn’t suitable.
Just then, a private ssage notification popped up, catching Zhang Beixing’s attention.
It was from a Buddhist disciple.
Boundless Dharma · Yongxin: "Benefactor, I see you are searching for martial arts cultivation techniques. I am Yongxin, the abbot of Shaolin Temple in Nanhe Province, and I wish to lend you a hand!"
Seeing this ssage, Zhang Beixing was stunned.
Yongxin? That na feels sowhat familiar, but I can’t quite recall it right now.
Zhang Beixing checked the sender’s profile. He discovered that this Yongxin was not only the thirtieth abbot of Shaolin Temple in Nanhe Province but also the vice-chairman of the Great Xia Buddhist Association.
He had five million followers on Douyin.
It seems he’s the real deal. Is he offering to help ?
There are still many good people in this world!
Zhang Beixing exclaid inwardly and imdiately sent a ssage: "Thank you, Abbot. You are truly virtuous. May I ask what martial arts cultivation techniques you have?"
Boundless Dharma · Yongxin: "Haha, I have an abundance of martial arts techniques here. As the saying goes, ’All martial arts under Heaven originate from Shaolin.’ Essentially, I possess every cultivation technique you may or may not have heard of—from our Buddhist sect’s supre cultivation thods like the Unsurpassed Yoga Tantra, down to the Golden Bell Cover and Iron Shirt. They vary in level, and thus in price. Which one do you desire?"
Prices??
Seeing the ssage from Yongxin, Zhang Beixing’s eyebrows twitched, but then he relaxed.
Right... no one helps others in this world without a reason. They either value your future potential and abilities, or they value your money. Clearly, Yongxin is the latter. I don’t find anything wrong with that. After all, an equivalent exchange is perfectly natural.
