Mid-3 PM.
Shen Ying escorted Lu Zheng and the Liu Family Sisters all the way to the outskirts of Peach Blossom Plain.
"Sisters, if you have ti, you can co chat with your elder sister more often."
"As long as elder sister doesn’t mind little sister being noisy, Qingyan is naturally willing."
"Taohua Village has been quiet for a long ti. With Qing Quan here, it’s livelier."
Shen Ying watched them get into the car, "By the way, I’m usually inside the villa and don’t go out. I’m only away on the last and first days of the month. On those two days, you don’t need to co."
"Qingyan will rember. Goodbye, elder sister!"
...
"I never expected that deep within Peach Blossom Plain, there would be such a secluded and elegant Taohua Village. I don’t seem to have heard county folks ntion it," Lu Zheng said as he casually flipped through the Eighteen Mountain-Carrying Techniques.
"Taohua Village isn’t located in the dense part of the Peach Grove; you have to turn into the southeastern mountain corner for a distance. Generally, people going on an outing seldom visit," Liu Qingyan pondered and explained.
"Makes sense."
The Great Jing Dynasty is unlike the modern tis; there are roads through scenic mountains and rivers, and various poisonous insects and ferocious beasts have been driven away.
In the Great Jing Dynasty, even in places like the Peach Blossom Plain bustling with tourists, only the outer few acres of peach groves are safe. Just a bit deeper, wild grass grows, roads vanish, and who knows if poisonous insects or beasts lurk in the Southeast Mountains.
On the way back to the county’s front door, after giving the remaining preserved plum fruits to Liu Qingquan, Lu Zheng bid farewell to the Liu Family Sisters and returned ho.
After a brief return to modern tis, seeing no ssages on his phone, he imdiately returned and began studying the martial cultivation technique obtained today.
Eighteen Mountain-Carrying Techniques.
A total of eighteen basic movents, both cultivation thod and enemy-countering technique.
During cultivation, maintain each movent, then vibrate specific muscles to temper muscles, blood, internal organs, and bones from the outside in.
Enhance constitution, boost blood.
When countering foes, each movent is a fundantal tactic for attack or defense, enhanced by the blood cultivated through Eighteen Mountain-Carrying Techniques.
Fortunately, having cultivated the ridian Breathing thod, Lu Zheng, although having difficulty, understood the martial cultivation technique without barriers.
He also discovered differences between the two cultivation techniques.
The ridian Breathing thod is a Daoist breathing technique, focusing on True Qi. It can slowly improve internal ridians with limited enhancent of constitution, though it excels in health preservation.
The function of True Qi leans more towards Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, possessing various wondrous uses, serving as the foundation of spells.
Eighteen Mountain-Carrying Techniques, a martial cultivation technique, offers much stronger enhancent in physical quality than the ridian Breathing thod, primarily increasing cultivator’s blood strength.
Or rather, Blood Qi!
Blood like a furnace, Qi like a smoky trail, bold and fierce, unparalleled in attack!
Well, I wonder if there are other types of martial dao in this world, but at least Eighteen Mountain-Carrying Techniques is like this.
Additionally, fortunately, the cultivation of True Qi and Blood Qi doesn’t conflict. Lu Zheng can fully cultivate both simultaneously.
With Light of Fortune at hand, Lu Zheng need not worry about limited energy, distraction, or anything like that, quite delightful indeed.
No further words, start training!
...
Eighteen Mountain-Carrying Techniques, as the na suggests, each movent must simulate bearing a large mountain on oneself.
EITHER on shoulder, OR back, OR arm.
Based on this imaginative foundation, mobilize specific muscles and exertion to resist the imaginary mountain.
Before dinner, Lu Zheng could already execute three movents preliminarily, and also simply vibrate muscles and exert force.
Though still a vast distance from perfect execution, it already ets the foundation enhanced by Light of Fortune.
What takes others years to achieve, Lu Zheng, with Light of Fortune, might just need two days.
After dinner, Lu Zheng continued cultivating. Before sleep, he completed the basic cultivation of seven movents.
On the second day, Lu Zheng didn’t go out at all.
Until evening...
In the backyard, Lu Zheng completed the eighteen movents in a row, erging with a light sweat and heavy breathing.
"Certainly a martial cultivation technique, boosting blood indeed consus too much stamina!"
At noon, he ate an entire old hen and four large bowls of rice, yet now Lu Zheng’s stomach started rumbling again.
"Master, dinner ti!"
...
Two fish and five large stead buns down, Lu Zheng patted his stomach and returned to his bedroom.
"Enhance!"
"Buzz!"
The Jade Seal lightly trembled, consuming the last three rays of Light of Fortune completely.
Simultaneously, a dense Blood Qi spontaneously generated within Lu Zheng’s body.
At the sa ti, Lu Zheng’s muscles began to tremble, slowly reconstructing his ridians, bone marrow, internal organs from the outside in.
"Oh my..."
Lu Zheng lay on the bed, shaking like a sieve, sensing an intense feeling of refreshnt all over.
This was his first ti experiencing such a vivid transformation of his body.
It’s known that from the start of cultivation, one uses these movents to train the self, boost blood, and only when talent is sufficient and after reaching a certain realm, does one start generating blood for combat.
Lu Zheng directly skipped this step, Light of Fortune can generate blood imdiately. Nonetheless, it cannot instantaneously alter Lu Zheng’s constitution; it requires a process, and Lu Zheng must gradually adapt.
Previously enhancing overall constitution involved a wider scope, so improvent was limited, making it easier for Lu Zheng to adapt.
This ti’s enhancent was more focused, so Lu Zheng felt it strongly.
Luckily, Lu Zheng had previously enhanced his overall constitution several tis, or else he might pass out from the intensity.
"Travel through!"
Lu Zheng forced a ntal connection with the Jade Seal, instantly traveling back to modern tis.
"Ah~~~"
...
Lu Zheng got up, still feeling sore, but his entire body was filled with strength.
Standing before the full-length mirror, he saw six-pack abs and a streamlined rmaid line, enough to make girls clutch their chests and aunts drool.
Drool!
Back in ancient tis, Lu Zheng practiced a set of boxing in the backyard, warming his body up, then wielded blades along the way, completing his morning exercise.
Lu Zheng nodded with satisfaction, no wonder people say lifting weights is addictive; the feeling of getting stronger indeed brings delight.
"Now it’s been half a month since obtaining the ridian Breathing thod, Light of Fortune has been used up, I can visit White Cloud Temple again."
"I also wonder if this ti I can achieve my aspirations."
Lu Zheng ate breakfast in ancient tis, then returned to modern tis.
Wash up, change clothes, go out.
Today is another sunny day. After going out, Lu Zheng sent a ssage to Du Lin, receiving a definite reply, then took a taxi directly to the Ten Thousand Ridges Ancient Sword Hall.
