Chapter 116: Soul Power, Bones and Muscles
"Master, have you broken through to the Innate Realm?" Lu Qing asked happily.
"Not yet. I have only refined the power of my soul and have not yet officially entered the innate realm." The old doctor replied.
When Lu Qing heard this, he was not disappointed.
The power of the soul is the most crucial step in advancing from the acquired realm to the innate realm.
The master was originally half a step away from being innate, and what he lacked was only the power of the soul.
Now that the most critical link has been completed, he is only one step away from the innate realm. The next breakthrough will be a natural result without any obstacles.
"Then Master, when will you be able to advance to the Xiantian realm?"
"It will take a few more days. Once I have adjusted my energy and spirit to the best condition, I can try to draw the energy into my body and take the last step." said the old doctor.
"Master, didn't you say before that it would take at least half a year to have a breakthrough? How come it's so early?" Lu Qing asked curiously.
"It was a stroke of luck to say the least." The old doctor sighed. "The innate method you gave me was extremely subtle. I happened to be studying the Medical Sage's Qing Nang Medical Classic recently. The two methods confirmed each other, and it helped me gain a deeper understanding of the relationship between the human body's essence and the spirit, allowing me to take this step ahead of time."
Lu Qing was silent for a while.
He was not wrong in his guess. The master was indeed an absolute genius in spiritual practice.
When he was young, he was able to deduce an exquisite and complete self-cultivation boxing technique, the Yangshen Fist, from an incomplete martial art.
Now, we can gain insights from medical classics and achieve breakthroughs ahead of time.
You know, Master doesn’t have any master to teach him in terms of spiritual practice.
The master was just a folk doctor who only knew some martial arts, not even a real martial artist.
It can be said that Master’s martial arts training was almost entirely explored on his own.
But even so, he has now reached the stage where he has cultivated the power of his soul and is only a hair's breadth away from the innate realm.
Although there were opportunities such as the Earth Vein Spirit Liquid he provided, one has to admit that Master is truly gifted in cultivation.
Of course, Lu Qing also knew that his master himself probably didn't think so.
In his heart, he probably didn't even consider himself a warrior, but just a doctor who knew some cultivation techniques.
However, Master is about to be promoted to the innate level, which is a great joy for Lu Qing.
He saved Madam Wei and her son, and he and Xiao Li killed Wang Qingshan and Tong Canglang, which had already greatly offended the Tiancang Sect.
Although the Tiancang Sect may not be able to discover it, it is still a hidden danger.
Now that his master has finally made a breakthrough, he feels more confident.
Thinking of this, Lu Qing took out a jade slip.
"Master, congratulations on your breakthrough. I don't have anything good to give you as a gift. This inheritance jade slip is your gift to you."
Lu Qing presented the jade slip to his master.
"Inheritance jade slip?" The old doctor looked at the jade slip curiously.
“Yes, the so-called inheritance jade slip is a special jade slip that can only be made by those who have reached a certain level of innate spiritual power. A small jade slip can encompass everything and contain a wealth of information.
The inheritance jade slip, generally only warriors who have cultivated the power of the soul can read the information inside. The innate method I gave to my master was obtained from this jade slip."
“Since the inheritance jade slip can only be read by one who possesses the power of the soul, then Ah Qing, you…” The old doctor was a little confused.
This disciple of his has not cultivated the power of the soul.
"I had another adventure in that cave, and luckily obtained all the inheritance inside. However, it was only that one time. I can no longer explore the information in this jade slip. This jade slip is of no use to me, so I can just present it to you, Master."
Lu Qing said that he was still prepared.
He knew that given his master's character, he would definitely not ask him what kind of adventure he had experienced.
Sure enough, after listening to it, the old doctor did not doubt it.
According to Lu Qing, that cave can produce magical liquid such as Earth Vein Spirit Liquid.
If there is anything strange, that is as it should be.
The old doctor took the jade slip and examined it carefully.
Of course, anything that can be made into a jade slip of inheritance is not ordinary jade.
Only the essence of jade with extremely pure texture can be made into a jade slip of inheritance.
Therefore, the appearance and quality of this jade slip are both excellent. Even if it is treated as an ordinary plaything, it is worth a fortune.
However, what the old doctor cared about was not the quality of the jade slip, but the ancient patterns on it.
That pattern gives him a very unique charm.
After looking at it for a while, the old doctor couldn't see anything mysterious.
His realm is still a little low after all.
He couldn't yet see through the patterns left by Li Weitian, the supreme master who had reached the perfection of the innate realm.
The old doctor followed Lu Qing's instructions, placed the jade slip between his eyebrows, and then carefully probed the inside of the jade slip with the spiritual power he had just cultivated.
The power of the soul entered the jade slip smoothly.
The old doctor sensed several small balls of light in the jade slip, and he directed his spiritual power toward one of them.
The power of his soul came into contact with the ball of light, and the next moment, a large amount of information began to emerge in his mind.
Lu Qing watched his master try to read the inheritance jade slip and did not stop him.
Unless a soul restriction is set on the jade slip, there is no danger in simply reading the information in the jade slip.
When Li Weitian was making this inheritance jade slip, he did not set any restrictions. Anyone who has cultivated the power of the soul can read the information in it at will.
The old doctor read the information on the jade slip, and his expression was somewhat moved.
As he was absorbed in browsing, he suddenly felt dizzy, it turned out that the power of his soul had reached its limit.
After all, his spiritual power had just been cultivated and was still very weak, so it should not be overused.
As a last resort, the old doctor could only temporarily withdraw his mind from the jade slip.
“I didn’t expect that Senior Li Weitian’s fate would be so rough.”
After his mind was pushed out, the old doctor's first words were sighs.
Presumably, he also saw the last words left by Li Weitian in the jade slip.
"Master, have you heard of Senior Li Weitian?" Lu Qing asked.
"Never heard of it." The old doctor shook his head. "I have traveled all over the country for so many years, but I have never heard of the name of this senior."
Lu Qing was silent.
This answer did not surprise him.
According to his calculations, Li Weitian lived at least seven or eight hundred years ago.
Over such a long period of time, dynasties could collapse several times.
Not to mention that he was a powerful innate realm expert, so it was normal that no one remembered him.
"Master, I will leave this inheritance jade slip with you. When you officially enter the Xiantian realm, I can practice the skills in it."
The old doctor nodded without saying anything to refuse.
At this point, there was no need for the master and disciple to be polite anymore.
The friendship between master and disciple surpasses everything.
"By the way, I need to go into seclusion for three days to regulate my spirit, energy and mind. After three days, I will formally draw energy into my body and try to break through. Remember to come." said the old doctor.
"After three days?" Lu Qing was a little surprised. "Disciple will definitely come to protect Master!"
Being able to witness the breakthrough of an innate realm person with his own eyes is also of great benefit to Lu Qing.
"What Dharma are you protecting? Is there anyone who would come to harm me, your master?" the old doctor said with a smile.
"That's true. It was my disciple who said something unlucky." Lu Qing said quickly.
"Okay, I see that your energy and blood are harmonious, your muscles and bones are full of elasticity, and you have great strength when you walk. I think you are not far from the state of minor success, right?" said the old doctor.
"Master, your eyes are sharp." Lu Qing said, "I came here today to ask for a few days off so that I could focus on my breakthrough. I didn't expect to hear the great news of your breakthrough."
"Your training speed is truly astonishingly fast. Even those well-known martial arts geniuses in the state are probably not as good as you." The old doctor sighed.
This disciple of mine had just broken through to the tendons and bones realm a while ago, and not long after that, he was already on the verge of entering the minor success realm.
However, he also knew that Lu Qing's aptitude had been greatly improved after taking the earth vein spiritual liquid. In terms of martial arts talent, he was probably not worse than those peerless geniuses.
"Master is going to be in seclusion for three days, and I am about to enter the minor success stage of the tendons and bones realm, which is just right." Lu Qing said with a smile.
…
Coming down from the courtyard halfway up the mountain, Lu Qing was still in a good mood.
The master's early breakthrough was an absolute surprise to him.
As long as he officially steps into the Innate Realm, he will also be able to inherit the legacy left by Li Weitian, who has achieved perfection in the Innate Realm.
With Master's talent, he will definitely become a strong man in the Innate Realm very quickly.
By then, his backing will be more solid.
Lu Qing returned home with a happy mood.
In the room, Xiaoyan and Xiaoli were playing Go again.
The two little guys never seem to get tired of this game and play many rounds every day.
Moreover, both little guys are very competitive and remember their wins and losses very clearly.
Thanks to this, they learned to count surprisingly quickly.
By now, both of them can count beyond one thousand, saving Lu Qing a lot of trouble.
Originally, Lu Qing was thinking about whether he should get the two little ones some chess or something to change their taste.
But seeing that they couldn't even get tired of playing Go, I didn't bother to do that anymore.
Seeing that the two little ones were engrossed in playing, Lu Qing did not disturb them.
After saying this, he picked up his sword and went to the bamboo forest behind the mountain.
In the next few days, Lu Qing devoted himself to cultivation.
Then, on the morning of the third day, he successfully broke through to the minor success stage of the tendons and bones realm.
In the bamboo forest, Lu Qing was practicing boxing.
The boxing I practice is not health-preserving.
Instead, it was a set of Qi and Blood Realm boxing and kicking martial arts that he found in his master's study.
A few days ago, as his swordsmanship had reached a level of combining hardness and softness, and being extremely meticulous, Lu Qing had temporarily reached a bottleneck in the swordsmanship and could not make any further progress.
Lu Qing had nothing to do, so he took all the other martial arts secrets collected by his master.
Including the two bone and muscle realm stick and sword techniques that he did not choose at the beginning.
The old doctor knew that Lu Qing’s talent in martial arts was far beyond that of ordinary people, and he could learn anything quickly.
In addition, with Lu Qing's personality, he would not confuse the primary with the secondary, so he just let him take all the secret books away.
After getting the secret book, Lu Qing used his supernatural powers to learn all the martial arts.
With his current martial arts level of a master of swordsmanship, and the help of supernatural powers.
Soon, he not only mastered all the martial arts, but also reached a very advanced level.
Including two other muscle and bone realm martial arts.
However, after trying it out for a while, Lu Qing found that he really preferred using a knife.
So he had no plans to switch to other weapons.
At this moment, Lu Qing was practicing a boxing technique from the secret book collected by his master.
It's called Fierce Tiger Fist, and it's a martial art that focuses on the Qi and Blood realm.
Although it is a martial art of the Qi and Blood Realm, it is incredibly powerful in Lu Qing's hands.
With every punch Lu Qing threw, all the muscles and bones in his body made clanging sounds like a drawn bow, bursting out with tremendous power.
Wherever the fist went, there was a whistling sound, as if there was really a tiger roaring inside his body, which was very terrifying.
Such power would probably astonish the warrior who created this style of boxing upon seeing it. He could not imagine that the Tiger Fist could be so powerful.
roar!
After completing the last move of the Tiger Fist, Tiger Roaring Around the World, Lu Qing slowly stopped.
The energy and blood in the body were like a furnace, steaming the sweat on the body into bursts of white mist.
“The tendons are like bowstrings, bones are like the bow body, the bow is like a full moon, and the strength is like shooting arrows continuously. If you can throw a hundred punches in a breath without losing your strength, then you have achieved a small level of tendons and bones.”
"The secret to this small achievement of strength and bones lies in the ten words: draw the bow like a full moon, and the strength is like shooting arrows continuously."
“Only when the strength and flexibility of the tendons and bones are tempered to a certain level, and you can shake and exert force at will without damaging the tendons and bones, can you be considered to have achieved minor success.”
"That day, Tong Canglang was able to withstand my full-strength blow without dying, and he didn't even suffer any internal injuries. The only thing was the amazing defensive power of his leather jacket."
"Another reason is that his muscles and bones have already reached a certain level. His muscles and bones are like a ball of springs, and they can be shaken and released at will. They have released most of my strength."
Lu Qing stood in the bamboo forest, and all kinds of insights arose in his mind.
My understanding of the realm of bones and muscles has deepened a bit.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
Although there are many high-level inheritances in his mind, which have greatly broadened his horizons.
He has a good understanding of many advanced realms.
But the path of martial arts must be taken step by step.
Only when his strength truly reaches that level will he have a deeper understanding of the cultivation knowledge passed down.
"I have achieved minor success in the bone and muscle realm. The next step is major success in the bone and muscle realm. With the help of the Bone Strengthening and Tendon Strengthening Pills, I won't be far from this realm." Lu Qing thought silently.
He was naturally delighted that he had successfully broken through to the minor success of the bone and muscle realm.
But more of it is peace.
After gaining so many opportunities, his vision has become much broader.
The goal of cultivation naturally becomes higher.
It was just a small breakthrough in the tendons and bones realm, far from enough to surprise him.
Now, he has only one goal, which is to reach perfection in the inner viscera realm as soon as possible, and then make a breakthrough to the innate realm!
"That's perfect. Tomorrow we can see what the mystery of the breakthrough to the Xiantian realm is."
Lu Qing thought of the agreement with his master and his eyes showed anticipation.
