Chapter 19 Cultivation
Chapter 19 Cultivation
......
Qin Fengqing has just broken through to the high stage of the third rank, and there is still a distance to go before reaching the peak of the third rank.
To break through to the peak of the third rank, one must first temper the bones. After tempering the bones, the tendons, skin, blood, and flesh all need to be tempered and nourished.
When tempering reaches a certain level, one will naturally enter the peak of the third rank. The extent to which one reaches this point varies from martial artist to martial artist.
Qin Fengqing's immediate priority is to control his surging blood and qi.
Just before the old principal left, he tossed Qin Fengqing a copy of "Diamond Fist," the book for practicing the unity of fist and strength.
Although the Vajra Fist is generally practiced by peak third-rank martial artists who lack the mastery required to break through to fourth-rank, it is undoubtedly extremely useful for Qin Fengqing at this stage.
Practicing the Vajra Fist can greatly control the surge of qi and blood in the body.
Qin Fengqing doesn't need the invincible path to the peak of the third rank. He is confident that once he improves his control over his blood and qi, he will be invincible in the third rank realm.
Even now, those three guys, including Wang Jinyang, at the peak of the third rank, only have a maximum of 1400 calories of Qi and blood, which is more than a thousand calories less.
Qin Fengqing, who could kill a fifth-grade martial artist head-on, was already a top expert among third-grade martial artists.
......
Qin Fengqing then picked up "The Vajra Fist" and studied it carefully.
The Vajra Fist is a mid-level fighting technique, but it was not created by modern martial artists. Instead, it is an ancient fist technique, said to have originated from a Buddhist sect a thousand years ago.
The Vajra Fist emphasizes the harmony of body, speech, and mind, which can be understood as the harmony of essence, energy, and spirit.
This is a mid-grade combat technique that many high-level third-grade martial artists learn. It is also very helpful for breaking through to the peak of the third grade and can lay a solid foundation for breaking through to the fourth grade.
The Vajra Fist emphasizes fierceness and power; the fist is like a Vajra, and the momentum is unstoppable.
"With my invincible power, no matter how strong you are, I will shatter you with a single punch!"
Although Qin Fengqing's main focus wasn't on fist techniques, mastering one method leads to mastering all others. After completely memorizing the entire "Diamond Fist" manual, Qin Fengqing closed his eyes and continuously reinforced his understanding.
......
Half an hour later, Qin Fengqing opened his eyes, got into a fighting stance, let out a low roar, and threw a punch!
"boom!"
A loud cracking sound echoed through the air, stirring up the entire training room.
"The combination of fist power is still a bit lacking; a life-or-death battle is needed," Qin Fengqing murmured.
To fight a life-or-death battle, they would have to go down into the underground cave, but Qin Fengqing was not yet able to fully control his qi and blood.
He then drew his sword and began practicing combat techniques, while the Deadly Blade left behind by Qin Nansheng was only a low-grade combat technique.
It was still acceptable for a martial artist of the lower three ranks, but Qin Nansheng was unable to perfect it into a mid-rank combat technique until he died in the underground cave.
Qin Fengqing plans to cultivate the cultivation technique he comprehended in his previous life—the "Azure Emperor's Scripture".
This is a battle strategy compiled by Qin Fengqing when he broke through to the Emperor level in his previous life. However, because he only deduced it downwards to the mid-level martial artist stage when he created it in his previous life.
Therefore, Qin Fengqing did not reach the threshold of cultivation before, but could barely meet the conditions for cultivation after breaking through to the high level of the third rank.
The Azure Emperor's Scripture is an Emperor-level cultivation technique created by Qin Fengqing. Although it is an Emperor-level technique, Qin Fengqing continued to improve it as his cultivation level broke through.
The Azure Emperor's Canon contains two aspects: cultivation techniques and combat tactics.
Qin Fengqing plans to cultivate combat techniques to gain an extra ultimate move, as the Deadly Blade can no longer fully unleash Qin Fengqing's blood and energy.
The battle tactics chapter of the *Azure Emperor's Canon* is divided into nine forms, known as the Nine Azure Emperor Techniques. These are: Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Zhen, Lie, Qian, and Xing.
With Qin Fengqing's current strength, he can only cultivate the first technique. Once Qin Fengqing masters the first technique...
The energy and blood released by a single strike can reach 1,500 calories, making it a powerful move that consumes a great deal of energy and spirit for Qin Fengqing at present. It requires a large amount of energy and spirit to unleash a single strike.
To use the Nine Secrets of the Azure Emperor, one needs to open additional acupoints to connect and activate the techniques.
This process is undoubtedly extremely time-consuming, and it also requires a large amount of Qi and blood to stimulate the acupoints and open them.
However, for Qin Fengqing, who has a system, these consumptions are negligible, and he can also replenish his energy with cultivation energy stones.
He then sat cross-legged. The first of the Nine Secrets of the Azure Emperor requires opening 40 acupoints throughout the body.
Then, the Qi and blood circulate continuously throughout the body, stimulating the acupoints to appear one after another. The newly appeared acupoints are still in a closed state, and it is necessary to use Qi and blood to continuously impact the acupoints to open them.
These 40 acupoints also form the operational route of the first level of the "Azure Emperor's Canon" technique. The technique and combat methods complement each other, achieving a synergistic effect greater than the sum of their parts.
......
5 hours later...
10 hours later...
24 hours later...
It has been a full 24 hours since Qin Fengqing opened the acupoints, and now there is only one acupoint left to complete the first layer of 40 acupoints.
At this moment, the power of Qi and blood is constantly impacting the last acupoint located on the head, and soon the acupoint slowly begins to open.
At this moment, 40 radiant acupoints appeared all over Qin Fengqing's body, arranged symmetrically around the center of her body.
Qin Fengqing directly activated her cultivation technique, circulating her Qi and blood through various acupoints in a specific order, quickly completing one cycle.
When the Qi and blood have circulated through the last acupoint, the 40 acupoints directly form a small cycle. Even if Qin Fengqing does not actively circulate the Qi, it can still circulate automatically and continuously.
Once the cultivation technique had completed its cycle, Qin Fengqing opened her eyes and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.
The discovery of the acupoints was actually a coincidence. In his previous life, Qin Fengqing had an accident when he broke through to the seventh rank because he swallowed something indiscriminately.
The only way to purify energy is through continuous burning with the fire of energy. In the process of continuously purifying energy, Qin Fengqing discovered that he had opened many unknown acupoints on his body.
Each subsequent breakthrough unlocked a portion of his acupoints. After becoming an Emperor-level expert, Qin Fengqing compiled a list of the acupoints that had been unlocked during his breakthroughs and discovered that they followed a certain pattern. This pattern was subsequently verified in his subsequent breakthroughs.
Ultimately, these were compiled into the main cultivation method, "The Azure Emperor's Canon," and the "Nirvana Manual" used earlier was also formed based on the discovery of acupoints.
After getting up, Qin Fengqing immediately picked up the long sword and began to familiarize himself with the flow of qi and blood.
"The Nine Secrets of the Azure Emperor—First Secret—Approach!"
Qin Fengqing unleashed a slash, but he could only barely execute the first move, releasing less than 1000 units of Qi and Blood.
"My control over my Qi and blood is still not good enough. The burst of Qi and blood is still a bit loose!" Qin Fengqing felt that the slash he had unleashed was still far from the effect he wanted.
Qin Fengqing was not annoyed and continued to practice his combat techniques in the training room.
