Chapter 350: Chapter 249 Breathing Skill, E State, Difficult Road_2
After she finished laughing, she finally realized sothing was off and looked towards Lu Qing holding Little Li: “Brother, what’s wrong with Little Li?”
“There’s nothing wrong, I gave it so good stuff to eat, and after eating it fell asleep, but this is good for it. When Little Li wakes up, it will beco even stronger,” Lu Qing explained.
Little Yan, upon hearing this, also set her mind at ease.
Still, she couldn’t help but laugh: “Little Li is so shy, falling asleep after eating, even lazier than Little Yan.”
Lu Qing, hearing this, couldn’t help but smile.
“Okay, let’s head back. I’ve already delayed quite a bit of ti teaching you the Breathing Skill. After we have breakfast, we’ll set off.”
With Little Yan and Little Li in tow, they returned to the village where they had stayed the night before. Just in ti, as the family that had rented them the house had also prepared breakfast.
After Lu Qing and the others finished their breakfast, they gave the farr’s family a bit of money as a thank you, then got on the carriage and set off once again.
“Ah Qing, you took Little Yan out early in the morning; were you teaching her Cultivation thods?”
On the carriage, the elder doctor, noticing the clear change in Little Yan’s deanor, asked curiously.
“Yes, Grandpa Chen, Brother taught the Breathing Skill. It’s so fun. After practicing it, I feel strong all over. Brother also said that when Little Yan gets really good at it, she’ll even be able to fly!”
Little Yan boasted with pride.
“Breathing Skill?” The elder doctor looked at Lu Qing with so surprise.
“The Breathing Skill is actually a preliminary technique for the Qi Eating Skill. Its purpose is to regulate one’s breath through the thod of breathing, visualize the surroundings, and cleanse the impurities from the Physical Body. Ultimately, it aims to achieve a state where Qi flows throughout the body, unblemished and with all ridians clear,” Lu Qing explained.
“Qi flows throughout the body, unblemished, with all ridians clear…” The elder doctor was even more surprised, “That would an…”
“That’s right, on the path of Martial Arts, only after reaching the Innate Realm and being blessed by the heavens and earth to cultivate an Innate Body, can one’s Physical Body reach a state of Qi flowing throughout and all ridians clear. Once Little Yan perfects her Breathing Skill and opens up all her Qi ridians, in terms of realm, she would essentially be stepping into the Innate Realm. However, since she hasn’t undergone the tempering of Qi-Blood to strengthen her Physical Body, theoretically, by that ti she wouldn’t necessarily be able to defeat a Martial Artist in the Muscle Bone Realm.”
“Then why Ah Qing would you…” The elder doctor didn’t understand.
“Master, I taught Little Yan the Breathing Skill not to increase her fighting ability, but to help her quickly reach the state where Qi flows throughout the body and all ridians are clear. When that ti cos, I will continue to teach her the Qi Eating Skill, which is the most crucial part.”
“Qi Eating Skill, Ah Qing, are you planning to…”
The elder doctor suddenly had a realization, finally understanding Lu Qing’s plan.
“That’s right, Little Yan has exceptional talent, and with the current changes in the world, I want her to directly follow the path of ancient Qi Cultivators,” Lu Qing nodded.
The cultivation of Martial Arts may have a low threshold, but the progress is slow and the practice is exceedingly harsh.
Little Yan, possessing the Ice Skin Jade Bone talent and carrying a hint of the Innate Taoist Body’s Will, is naturally an excellent Cultivation Seed.
Lu Qing naturally wouldn’t let her follow the path of Martial Arts but would direct her to pursue the way of Immortal Cultivation.
“Since you, Ah Qing, have everything planned, then I’m relieved.”
Seeing that Lu Qing had everything under control, the elder doctor naturally did not inquire further.
He knew that Lu Qing possessed a mysterious Immortal Cultivation heritage, and since he had made plans, it must be the best arrangent.
It was Wei Zian at the side who was utterly confused after listening to their conversation.
He hadn’t understood a word of what Lu Qing and the elder doctor had discussed: Breathing Skill, Qi Eating Skill, the so-called Qi Cultivator – none of these terms made sense to him as he had never heard them before.
In the end, he could only sigh, acknowledging the imnse vastness and depth of cultivation, and how much mystery there remained that he didn’t understand.
The carriage continued on its way, and by midday, they stopped to give the horses a thorough rest before resuming the journey.
However, by the afternoon, the carriage began to slow and beca increasingly bumpy.
Lu Qing frowned and had to hoist the still-sleeping Little Li up a bit to prevent her from being woken by the turbulence.
“Master, what’s wrong? Why is the carriage so bumpy?”
Wei Zian also felt sothing was amiss and asked.
Then he felt the carriage suddenly jolt and co to a complete stop.
“Brother Lu Qing, Elder Doctor, I’m afraid we’ve run into so trouble.”
At that mont, Ma Gu’s voice ca from the front of the carriage.
“What kind of trouble?”
Lu Qing lifted the carriage curtain and looked outside.
Could it be that they had encountered highwayn?
But he didn’t feel the presence of anyone else nearby.
However, when Lu Qing managed to get a clear view of the outside, he was taken aback for a mont.
He realized that they were now on a very rugged mountain path; not only was the ground uneven, but the road had beco much narrower, barely wide enough for the carriage to pass through.
At that mont, one of the carriage wheels was caught in a pit, unable to move.
“Where have we ended up?”
Lu Qing handed Little Li to Little Yan, got out of the carriage, and looked around.
He then discovered that they were on a narrow path halfway up a mountainside, next to a cliff, which looked rather dangerous.
The elder doctor also got out of the carriage and understood the situation after surveying the environnt.
“We are about to enter Yezhou. It is said that Yezhou is the most perilous among all the states, with the majority of its territory being majestic high mountains, which are very difficult to navigate.”
“Yezhou?”
Upon hearing this, Lu Qing also understood.
Over the past two years, he hadn’t just focused on Cultivation; he had also been gathering information about this world.
He was sowhat familiar with Yezhou and knew that the state was not only mountainous but also had many rivers; compared to other states, it could truly be considered a land of poor mountains and harsh waters.
“This is really a bit troubleso.”
Lu Qing looked at the surroundings and felt a headache coming on.
If it was just one difficult stretch, he and Ma Gu could carry the carriage over with their strength.
But it would obviously be impossible if the entire state were like this.
Were they to abandon the carriage and proceed on foot from this point onwards?
Lu Qing was caught in a dilemma.
He didn’t mind walking, but it was clear that Little Yan and Master couldn’t be made to endure such hardships.
Even Wei Zian might not be able to withstand such a long journey.
Moreover, they had grown quite fond of this carriage that had shielded them from wind and rain over the days.
Unless absolutely necessary, they didn’t want to abandon it.
“If only we had taken a longer detour; better yet, another route altogether.”
Lu Qing felt so regret.
Actually, he and Master Chen had discussed taking a different path before.
Since Master Chen had never been to Yezhou during his travels around the world, he was unaware of the road conditions there.
But that would have ant they would have to travel around an entire additional state, adding significantly to their journey.
At the ti, they were eager to get to Central State more quickly and decided on this route.
They thought that even if Yezhou’s roads were tough, it would still be better than the detour.
They hadn’t anticipated that the terrain of Yezhou would be much more rugged than they had imagined; passing through with a carriage was simply impossible.
“Master, what should we do?” Lu Qing looked towards his master.
The elder doctor also understood their current predicant. After so thought, he sighed and said, “At this mont, we have only two options: one is to turn back, and the other is to leave the carriage behind and proceed on foot.”
Neither solution was good.
Turning back ant wasting more ti, while abandoning the carriage ant leaving many things behind.
Lu Qing could use the Qiankun Qi Bag to take everything with them.
But he hadn’t yet decided whether he wanted to reveal this capability.
And he was unsure if Little Yan could endure such hardship.
While Lu Qing was in a state of confusion,
Wei Zian sighed, “All our hard traveling of the past two days has been for nothing; who would have thought the roads in Yezhou would be this difficult? What a pity, if only our carriage could fly.”
“What nonsense are you talking about? Our carriage is just an ordinary one; do you think it’s so sort of magical treasure from those storybooks that can fly?
You must have been sneakily reading Little Yan and Little Li’s storybooks again.”
Ma Gu scolded with a laugh.
However, when Lu Qing heard this, he was montarily startled.
