Chapter 7 I really stumbled upon this by accident.
As soon as the system notification disappeared, all the content of the breathing technique that the Third Elder had just taught him immediately appeared in Chen Zhou's mind.
This is just too incredible!
Chen Zhou didn't react immediately, but as the breathing technique appeared, he began to slowly follow the content in his mind.
"I never expected this salted fish system to have such a wonderful use. It really saved me from dire straits," Chen Zhou thought to himself, as he guided his energy through a cycle within his body.
Seeing that Chen Zhou made no move, the Third Elder was originally prepared to give up.
But at that moment, ripples of energy appeared around Chen Zhou's body, surrounding him and eventually slowly entering his body.
"This, this is actually the Spirit Breathing Technique!"
The Third Elder's face was filled with shock. The Sword Cloud Sect's basic breathing technique has three levels: the first is basic breathing, the second is spirit-guiding breathing, and the third is this spirit-sharing breathing.
It should be noted that those who can achieve the level of Spiritual Breathing are almost all the main disciples of various sects within the Sword Cloud Sect, who are the true geniuses of the Sword Cloud Sect.
Even the Third Elder himself only comprehended the Spirit Breathing Technique after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
Chen Zhou, on the other hand, is only at the Qi Refining stage.
Chen Zhou's actions immediately attracted everyone's attention, and almost everyone was unable to concentrate on their meditation, because all their energy was now drawn to Chen Zhou!
Chen Zhou was completely unaware of what was happening outside, because he was fully focused on practicing the breathing technique.
The main reason is that it's just too comfortable!
Chen Zhou felt his strength increasing continuously. Not only was his breath continuous, but his whole body felt relaxed and his skin became radiant.
None of the people present were clear about what was going on. First, the Third Elder got angry for the first time, then his face showed a look of surprise and appreciation, and his anger disappeared all at once.
Jiang Ying was even more frustrated. It seemed that her junior brother was a genius after all, and he seemed to be on the verge of breaking through.
In the Tianyun Continent, the first realm of cultivation is the Qi Refining stage, which is further divided into four smaller stages: Qi Refining to Spirit, Essence Refining to Qi, Spirit Refining to Emptiness, and Emptiness Merging with the Dao.
Chen Zhou had previously remained at the Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation stage.
Judging from the current situation, Chen Zhou has already begun to transform the essence in his body into true qi.
True Qi is a kind of energy that naturally exists between heaven and earth. It is something that all cultivators must have. Only by absorbing the true Qi from the outside world can cultivators use it to transform into their own power.
The second stage of Qi Refining is to transform excess essence into true Qi!
Since one cannot absorb external true qi during the Qi Refining stage, the first true qi in one's body must be condensed by oneself. Only in this way can one truly be considered a cultivator.
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle..."
"Ding! Host has cultivated for ten minutes, True Qi value -10!"
"Ding! Host has cultivated for ten minutes, True Qi value -1!"
The aura around Chen Zhou decreased rapidly, and the true energy that had just been gathered in his body dissipated to almost nothing!
The strangeness of this salted fish system far exceeded Chen Zhou's imagination. He had only followed the breathing method for a few cycles and cultivated for more than ten minutes. He had finally managed to condense true qi, but now it had been reduced by a tiny bit.
Because he had just condensed his internal energy into true energy, Chen Zhou was extremely weak at this moment. He almost collapsed after finishing the last cycle of breathing exercises.
A gentle breeze swept by, and the Third Elder quickly appeared beside Chen Zhou, placing his palm on Chen Zhou's back.
A stream of pure true energy flowed from his back, and Chen Zhou was finally able to catch his breath.
This system is killing me! It's even preventing me from cultivating on my own?
Chen Zhou never expected that this strongest lazy system would be so bizarre, directly introducing a setting that reduces true qi value during cultivation, which almost made Chen Zhou so angry that he passed out.
After channeling his true energy, the Third Elder gained a general understanding of Chen Zhou's physical condition.
"I've broken through to the second stage of Qi Refining, refining essence into qi. But I've only condensed a tiny bit of true qi in my body. Logically speaking, the Qi Refining and Breathing Technique shouldn't only condense a tiny bit of true qi, right?"
The Third Elder wondered, "Could it be that I saw it wrong?"
Seeing that Chen Zhou was about to fall while bracing himself on the ground, Jiang Ying couldn't hold back any longer and rushed to Chen Zhou's side the moment the Third Elder arrived at Chen Zhou's side.
Many of the other disciples were outer disciples, with only a few actually serving under the Third Elder. Moreover, they had a good relationship with Chen Zhou, and out of consideration for their fellow disciples, they all gathered around.
"Master, how is Chen Zhou?" Jiang Ying asked, looking at the weak Chen Zhou.
The Third Elder shook his head and said, "You'll have to ask him that. When did you learn this breathing technique?"
Other elders, including the Third Elder, would talk about this breathing technique during their sermons, but Chen Zhou had never mastered it before. Each time, he would sit on the ground and clumsily try again and again.
This time, he actually learned it directly and reached the highest level of breathing techniques.
This is outrageous.
Chen Zhou also found it outrageous; how could this be explained?
“Master, I just stumbled upon this by accident. I was just following the breathing method you taught me, carefully running through each cycle, and that’s how it happened.”
Hearing this, everyone was very surprised, but only Jiang Ying and the Third Elder felt that this was not a coincidence.
Because only the two of them witnessed what happened yesterday, that miraculous slash that defeated Han Feng, and today their breathing technique has reached its highest level.
This is all so amazing.
Seeing the confusion on their faces, Chen Zhou exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, "I really stumbled upon this by accident!"
...
Just then, at the other end of the Sword Cloud Sect, in a secluded cave, a few people gathered sparsely. Sticking to the middle of them was none other than Han Feng, who was wrapped in gauze and had a flushed face.
"Han Feng, what's the matter? Why did you call us here in such a hurry?"
"That's right, that's right, I haven't gone to the back mountain to cultivate yet today!"
"What happened to all these injuries? Did you offend some senior brother? Hahaha."
Hearing this, Han Feng became even more furious.
"Fellow senior brothers, I will be unable to participate in this sect competition. All my injuries were caused by one person."
"Who?" the group asked in unison.
"Chen Zhou, a disciple of the Third Elder."
Everyone was taken aback. Why had they never heard of this name before? Could he be another rising star?
"Make it look like you accidentally killed him, and this box of Foundation Establishment Pills is yours!" Han Feng took out an antique box and said viciously, pointing towards the distance at the cave entrance.
