Chapter 308: Chapter 228 Breakthrough, Spiritual Power and Innate True Qi
“Master indeed has unrivaled innate talent; he has gained some insight into the [Li Water Swallowing Skill] so quickly.”
Lu Qing felt the fluctuations of spiritual energy in the surrounding space, somewhat surprised.
The [Li Water Swallowing Skill] was specially chosen by him from the Li Huo Sect’s heritage, and it should be the most suitable Qi Eating Skill for Master.
Li means fire, and Li Water represents the bination of fire and water; this is a Qi Eating Skill that cultivates both elements together.
It just so happened that Master had previously grasped the meaning of water and fire coexisting, with both water and fire types of Innate True Qi within him, practicing this [Li Water Swallowing Skill] couldn’t be more appropriate.
After a while, the spiritual energy in the surrounding space fluctuated and then returned to calmness.
...
The elder doctor opened his eyes, filled with amazement.
“Master, how do you feel?” Lu Qing asked eagerly.
“This Qi Eating Skill is indeed mysterious, and it follows the paths of the meridians and acupoints for circulation, which pared to the Martial Arts’ way of refining Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, is much more intricate,” the elder doctor said.
“True, the Qi Eating Skill, on the path of Qi Refinement, indeed surpasses the Innate Method of Martial Arts,” Lu Qing nodded in agreement.
Although the Martial Arts’ Innate Method also involves absorbing and refining Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi to strengthen oneself,
its Refining Method is more about straightforward and forceful expansion and contraction.
The absorbed Primordial Qi enters directly into the Qi Acupoint, and the Martial Artist uses the force of the Divine Soul to refine it bit by bit, turning it into their own power.
The Qi Eating Skill is different; after the spiritual energy enters the body, it does not go directly to the Qi Acupoint but first travels through the meridians, circulates the Circulation, and then settles in the Dan Tian Energy Point to be slowly refined into one’s own Spiritual Power.
The two methods seem only to differ by the Circulation step in the Qi Eating Skill, but it is this very step that creates a significant difference between the two Cultivation Methods.
The Circulation involves various meridians and acupoints in the human body; these are mysterious and expansive with an extremely plex system.
It can be said that the various Qi Eating Skills of Cultivators are so different in efficacy because they traverse different meridians and acupoints when refining spiritual energy during Circulation.
“The path of meridians and acupoints circulation, even to us in the Innate Realm, is extraordinarily mysterious and difficult to prehend; it is unexpected that the ancients had already thoroughly researched it and were able to create such mysterious Qi Eating Skills. The wisdom of the ancients is truly profound and inscrutable,” the elder doctor exclaimed.
“Master, we don’t have to be so harsh on ourselves,” Lu Qing said with a smile.
“This Qi Eating Method appeared in the era when the Cultivation Era’s Ancient Spiritual Energy was at its height.
In that era, Great Divine Power individuals capable of flying and burrowing were numerous, and under their broad vision, creating Cultivation Techniques would naturally be much easier than in our era.
Now that spiritual energy is recovering, if we live long enough and ponder slowly, perhaps we can create Cultivation Methods like these.”
“This makes sense,” the elder doctor nodded, “The ancients might have been formidable, but that doesn’t mean modern people can’t match them; otherwise, in the field of medicine, we wouldn’t have been able to accumulate so many prescriptions and medical theories to benefit the world.”
“Right, Master, how do you feel after just prehending the [Li Water Swallowing Skill]? Can you now absorb and refine spiritual energy?”
“It’s not that fast,” the elder doctor shook his head, “This [Li Water Swallowing Skill] is exceptionally mysterious; I’ve only just gained a slight understanding. To truly enter its threshold, I’m afraid I will need a few more days of reflection.”
“Being able to enter its threshold in just a few days is already very fast; your talent is truly impressive,” Lu Qing said sincerely.
This is a Cultivation Method, and to have some insight upon first contact signifies that Master’s prehension abilities are indeed extraordinary, even in the Cultivation Era.
“Now even my teacher is joking with me,” the elder doctor chided with a smile.
“Elder doctor, Brother Lu Qing, dinner is ready!”
While the master and disciple were talking, Ma Gu’s voice came.
“Alright, let’s go eat,” the elder doctor said.
Lu Qing nodded, and both master and disciple jumped down from the large rock and walked towards the carriage.
After dinner, as the sky had already darkened, Lu Qing and his panions simply set up tents, preparing to spend the night in the forest.
After pitching the tents, the elder doctor went to rest first, continuing to ponder and meditate on the [Li Water Swallowing Skill].
Lu Qing and Ma Gu, along with a few others, gathered around the campfire and struck up a conversation.
“Brother Lu Qing, I looked at our itinerary, and in at most two days, we’ll be able to enter the boundary of Yunzhou, which is the territory of the Flowing Cloud Sect. What do you plan to do?” Ma Gu asked.
“There’s no need to do anything,” Lu Qing replied, “We’ll just go directly to the Flowing Cloud Sect following the location marked by Manager Fang.”
“We’re going to just barge in like that?” Ma Gu was astonished.
“Yes.”
Ma Gu took a deep breath.
A few moments later, he could only give a wry smile, “That’s so like you, Brother Lu Qing.”
He had originally thought Lu Qing and the elder doctor had some detailed plan, but it turned out their method was to simply force their way through.
However, recalling that Lu Qing, when he was only in the Qi Blood Realm and had just started Martial Arts Training, had dared to venture alone into Happy Village and annihilated it, Ma Gu felt reassured.
This was indeed Lu Qing’s typical approach.
Thinking of this, Ma Gu felt his blood start to boil.
He too was very displeased with the actions of the Flowing Cloud Sect; their massacre of moners was no different from that of evil sects.
The idea of teaching the Flowing Cloud Sect a lesson was quite refreshing to consider.
As for Wei Zian, young and vigorous, having just proven his strength, fear was something he knew even less about.
