The secret technique of body building is different from the technique of Qi training.
The first reason is its rarity, that is, most monks are not familiar with it. Even if they see someone washing marrow very quickly, they will not immediately associate it with the body-building secret technique.
The second is timeliness. The effect is best when practicing before the golden elixir is formed, especially during the marrow washing stage.
After the golden elixir is formed, the speed of improvement in the secret body-building technique will not keep up, and it will inevitably be abandoned by the cultivators.
Therefore, as long as Xu Yinglian doesn't shout outside "I have practiced the secret technique of body building", there will generally be no risk of any complications.
Considering that the secret art of body building is a secret passed down by the ancient witch clan, once its source is exposed it will inevitably attract covetousness (who doesn’t know a few younger disciples who need to undergo marrow cleansing?), the junior sister must be wary of this.
Qiu Changtian finished copying the secret technique of body building, then took the jade slip and went to Xu Yinglian's cave.
Inside the cave, Xu Yinglian looked at himself in the bronze mirror and slowly lay down in front of the stone table.
She began to regret it.
The so-called "heart with seven orifices" should be able to see through everything easily and remain calm.
Why is it that when I get to my senior brother’s place, I always can’t help but quarrel with him?
She buried her head in her arms and let out a long sigh.
Even if you are a fellow Taoist, there is no reason to share your adventures.
Besides, it was Master who chose me to go to the trial in the Demon Locking Tower. If I really want to blame someone, it’s Master’s favoritism, not my brother’s... But I acted badly to him in his cave, making my fellow brothers and sisters laugh at me. It was so embarrassing.
Xu Yinglian closed her eyes and uttered a low whimper of regret. Suddenly, she heard Qiu Changtian shouting from outside:
"Junior Sister Xu, are you in the cave?"
"Yes!" Xu Yinglian quickly raised his head and responded.
When Qiu Changtian entered the cave, he saw only Junior Sister Xu's retreat residence, which was not much different from his own cave.
The living environment of both of them was mainly simple. The only difference was that Xu Yinglian's stone bed had a large soft cushion, probably to make it more comfortable when meditating.
Seeing Xu Yinglian sitting in front of the stone table, Qiu Changtian placed a jade slip in front of her table:
"Here, take it."
"What is this?" Xu Yinglian turned his gaze to the jade slip.
"The secret technique of body building." Qiu Changtian replied.
"A martial arts secret book from a Jianghu person?" Xu Yinglian said with a smile, obviously treating this "body-building secret" as something like "Golden Bell Cover" or "Iron Shirt". "Why are you giving me this?"
"No, you take a look first." Qiu Changtian said.
Xu Yinglian picked up the jade slip and immersed his spiritual consciousness in it, only then did he realize that this technique was called "Longqiu Hundred Forms Song".
As she continued reading, she frowned coldly and said:
"How could it be a legacy of the ancient witch clan? Where did you get it from, brother?"
"Hush." Qiu Changtian signaled her not to ask any more questions. "Although this thing is rare and precious, its application is very limited. It is only cost-effective to practice below the Foundation Establishment Stage, especially for marrow cleansing."
"Hmm." Xu Yinglian read on and immediately realized that the route of this technique's circulation in the body was much more sophisticated than the Qi Refining Technique, and it was perfect for cleansing the marrow and clearing the meridians.
"Thank you, senior brother." She thanked him sincerely.
"Don't thank me." Qiu Changtian blinked, "This is not just a support between brothers and sisters, you know?"
Xu Yinglian pursed her lips and her face turned slightly red.
She suddenly thought: Although I rarely mention it, I probably still regard my senior brother as my future Taoist partner in my heart. Otherwise, why would I get angry because my senior brother got the benefits but didn't share them with me?
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is some motive of being petty in it, which is really too embarrassing...
Thinking of this, Xu Yinglian finally couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily:
"I know, I know! You can go now!"
"Ah?" Qiu Changtian was immediately confused.
I gave you a secret technique, why are you trying to drive me away? You are repaying kindness with hatred!
"Hurry up, hurry up!" Xu Yinglian stood up without saying anything, pushed his back and drove him out, shouting, "I want to practice!"
After kicking his senior brother out of the cave, Xu Yinglian returned to the cave and looked at the jade slip in his hand with a complicated expression.
In the past, with her competitive spirit and self-esteem, she would never accept such a "gift" from her senior brother that was almost like alms.
But now…
Just think of it as an advance from the bride price.
The important thing is to seize this opportunity and catch up with your seniors as soon as possible!
Xu Yinglian clenched his fists and his fighting spirit rose.
Qiu Changtian left the cave, still somewhat confused by his junior sister's sudden change of attitude.
Never mind, maybe she just wasn't feeling well today.
Throwing aside the common sense that practitioners would not get sick, Qiu Changtian happily came to the conclusion.
Since you have contributed a huge amount of synchronization value to me, I will forgive you this time!
Seeing that it was still early, Qiu Changtian picked up his magic sword and flew towards the east.
When he arrived at the Xuanpu District in the middle section of the Kunlun Mountains, he saw lights flying everywhere in the sky. It was much more lively than the western section city area where he lived.
The Xuanpu District is not only a place for inner disciples (not directly taught) to practice, but also a concentrated area for growing spiritual medicines and feeding spiritual beasts. It is equivalent to the internal production area of the entire Kunlun Taiqing Sect.
Compared to the outer disciples who work hard all day long to go on missions and earn resources, and the direct disciples who stay in the caves and practice wholeheartedly, the inner disciples are relatively more leisurely, and most of them are keen on socializing.
Many of the gossips within the sect were spread through the inner disciples, and some were even produced by the inner disciples themselves.
In short, these people are a bit like low-level civil servants who have a stable job and don't seek promotion but just punch the clock in. They are also the leeks that Qiu Changtian has been focusing on cultivating recently... I was wrong, they should be called the younger generation group that is being promoted.
After all, when it is impossible to go out to gain experience and carry out tasks, it is not so easy to increase the synchronization value of outer disciples.
Therefore, Qiu Changtian planned to take action against these inner disciples... or to be more precise, to open up new synchronization value channels.
What he wanted to try this time was to follow the example of the Guan family's ancestor, discuss the Dao publicly and convince everyone.
Taking into account that the disciples of this generation would basically remain at the Qi Refining stage unless they had a fortuitous encounter, Qiu Changtian was quite confident about this plan.
Soon, through several familiar inner disciples, the news that the current chief senior brother Qiu Changtian was going to hold a discussion meeting spread quickly among the inner disciples of the 280th generation.
About an hour later, Qiu Changtian arrived above the venue on his sword, only to find that not only disciples of his own generation, but also many senior brothers and sisters from previous generations had come here to admire him.
Among these senior brothers and sisters, the vast majority were at the Marrow Cleansing Stage, and there were also quite a few at the Palace Transformation Stage, which greatly shocked and surprised Qiu Changtian.
Fortunately, no Jindan Zhenren attended the meeting... Of course, for a Jindan Zhenren to attend a discussion meeting hosted by a Foundation Establishment Realm disciple, even if the other party is the chief disciple, it is a bit too outrageous.
The venue was set up at the top of Kuyun Peak, where there was a large natural depression that could accommodate many disciples to watch.
Sword lights were seen continuously falling down. All the visitors were dressed as inner sect disciples. After landing, they looked around for a while, then found acquaintances in the venue, sat down and chatted with them...soon most of the venue was filled.
Qiu Changtian watched this grand scene from the air and couldn't help but secretly smack his lips in amazement.
I never thought that the name "Qiu Changtian" would be so widely spread among the inner disciples!
I just asked a few familiar disciples to help me invite them, and in the end so many people showed up to the party!
Thinking of this, he subconsciously felt a little uneasy, but then he thought of so many fellow disciples. If they could all be trained to be like Junior Sister Xu, they could contribute synchronization points to him...
Fight hard! Grit your teeth and do it!
