Chapter 616: Women Fighting to Take Care of Wolf King
If Xue Lin saw Ruyan Liu, what would happen? Monk had heard Qingfeng Li say that the two women fought like cats and dogs whenever they met.
The thought was so unsettling that Monk couldn’t move his feet. Xue Lin urged, “What are you waiting for? Please take me to Qingfeng.”
It was a cold snowy day, but Monk began to sweat with agitation.
If it had been another time Monk would have immediately taken Xue Lin to the boss. But now was not the right time.
“The boss will recover in two days. I think it would be best if you just go back home and I will bring the boss to you.” Monk said carefully.
His small voice, tentative tone and cautious manner made Xue Lin more suspicious.
Xue Lin frowned with suspicion. She complained, “Monk, I drove for the whole night without a minute’s sleep to Wudang Mountain, and you want me back. What do you mean?”
Sensing Xue Lin’s anger, Monk was more agitated and the sweat began to flow down from his forehead.
Fine. I did my very best to avoid this. Boss, I can’t stop Sister from seeing you. Silently, Monk tried to comfort himself.
“Sister, I will take you to the boss. No matter what you see, remember to keep calm.” Monk advised in a low voice, fearing Xue Lin would get mad when she saw Ruyan Liu.
Xue Lin nodded her agreement and followed Monk into the Temple. She still wondered why Monk tried to stop her from seeing her husband.
The moment Xue Lin pushed open the door, her expression changed. In the room a ravishing woman was nursing Qingfeng Li, gently rubbing his forehead with a towel.
And the charming woman was no other than Ruyan Liu, her rival in love and the woman she disliked.
Ruyan Liu, you seductive vixen. You are seducing my man again. Xue Lin narrowed her eyes. Her spirits dropped to the bottom and had a sudden urge to kill.
Xue Lin turned her head and glared at Monk. Apparently, he had known Ruyan Liu was here nursing Qingfeng Li and that was why he tried to stop her from coming in.
The embarrassed Monk was drying the cold sweat from his forehead. He was so frightened by the glare from Xue Lin that he retreated a step involuntarily. He knew Xue Lin was angry with his deception.
At the sound of door opening, Ruyan Liu turned to see Xue Lin at the entrance and noticed the chilling light in her eyes.
“Vix…Miss Liu, what are you doing here?” Xue Lin walked over to Ruyan Liu. She had meant to say “vixen” but changed her mind considering there were other people in the room.
Ruyan Liu smiled, “Qingfeng is hurt. I am here to look after him.”
“I am his wife and I will take care of him. You’d better leave.”
“I don’t think so. Qingfeng was hurt when he was trying to rescue me. It’s my duty to nurse him.”
“Rescue you? What happened?”
“It’s a long story. I was kidnapped by bad guys and almost died. Qingfeng Li defeated those bad men and rescued me. During the process he was wounded. He is my prince charming and savior.” Ruyan Liu looked at Xue Lin provocatively.
Damn! They are fighting again?
Qingfeng Li lamented silently. He had woken and prepared to get up when he heard Xue Lin’s voice which froze him in bed.
Whenever he was in the same room with these two women he would have a headache. He’d rather face an enemy than this situation.
Xue Lin was angry that Qingfeng Li got hurt because of Ruyan Liu. However, when she saw the wounds and scars on him, her anger turned into concern.
Qingfeng Li’s internal wounds had been cured while his injuries and scars still looked ugly and serious.
The ugliest one was the round scar in Qingfeng Li’s chest which was caused by the piercing meteorite knife. When Xue Lin saw it, she felt a sharp pain inside.
She didn’t like Ruyan Liu but Qingfeng Li’s wounds were the top priority now.
Xue Lin walked over and began to clean the scar in his chest with a towel.
“Miss Lin, I can take care of him. Why don’t you return home?”
Qingfeng Li was wounded and almost died for her. Ruyan Liu was extremely touched and gratified. She was determined to nurse Qingfeng Li and she didn’t like the sight of Xue Lin.
“The one that’s supposed to leave is you. I am his wife and you have no right to look after him.” Xue Lin sneered.
The competition was on. Ruyan Liu picked up the towel and resumed to rub Qingfeng Li’s forehead while Xue Lin cleaned his chest.
Nursed by two beauties, Qingfeng Li enjoyed their attentions on his body, but inside he was tortured. He desperately wanted to open his eyes, but he was frightened to face the situation. He was feeling both misery and pleasure.
…
In a basement hundreds of meters deep inside the ground of Ghost King Villa, Tianjing City.
Black Impermanence brought Hell King to the basement. The Life-Reaping Dagger embedded in Hell King’s chest had been pulled out by Black Impermanence. Due to the serious wounds, Hell King’s face was very pale.
Ghost King was doing some experiment with a red potion. His pale face looked pleased because his super cloning medicine had proved successful in experiment. He could clone four persons at a time and thus increasing fours times of battle force.
“I am sorry, Master. I failed.” Hell King lowered his head. He was the powerful Hell King in front of other people; but before his Master, he felt as low as an ant because he knew how powerful his Master was.”
“You are useless. Where is Eagle King?” Ghost King glanced at him. His voice was cold and merciless.
White-faced, Hell King answered with a faltering voice, “Master, Eagle King was killed by Wolf King.”
Ghost King frowned. He had not expected the powerful Eagle King would be killed by Wolf King. It seemed he had to re-evaluate Wolf King’s combat strength.
“Black Impermanence, I sent you to kill Wolf King. How did you fail the mission?”
As the second student of Ghost King, Black Impermanence was very powerful at the Peak Stage of the Higher Heaven State. To kill a master and king of the ordinary people should have been a piece of cake.
“Master, I was stopped by Daocang Lu, the master of the Daoist Temple of Wudang Mountain.” Black Impermanence explained with a changed expression. Even though he was one of Ghost King’s favorite students, Black Impermanence regarded his Master with awe and fear.
Chapter 617: Hell King Entering Closed-Door Training
Ghost King frowned and coldly said “Three years ago, Daozang was beaten up seriously, their ability weakened and he was almost at the brink of death. How can he stop you?
He thought Black Impermanence was lying, so his tone was very indifferent.
“Master, it was Qingfeng who cured Daozang’s bad pulse, and his ability had recovered greatly, I am not the opponent here.” Black Impermanence face changed suddenly, quickly explained him, afraid that his master might punish him.
A streak of cold light flashed across Ghost King’s sight. What happened with Daozang, he knew naturally, it was the Temple Master on Wudang Mountain. Decades ago, he was once a phenomenal fighter, master of ancient martial, but he later was badly hurt during a blind raid.
“If Daozang is indeed the one that saved Qingfeng, he should be at Wudang Mountain now. We won’t be able to kill him as of yet. Send the people of Ghost King Palace to spy on Qingfeng, once he heads back to East Sea City, we will send people to kill him.” Ghost King let out a ghastly laugh with his tone full of killer intention.
“Yes, master.” Black Impermanence gave a nod, turned and exited the lab. He started to get ready to send people out to spy on Qingfeng.
Hell King saw Black Impermanence left, he wanted to leave as well.
“Hey, did I let you go yet?” said the Ghost King with hostility, and an dissatisfaction in his tone.
Not being able to kill Qingfeng made Ghost King very unhappy, as he is the son of the tyrant Third Master Li, they are arch enemies. Although he had thrown tyrant Li down the cliff in the restricted area, he wanted to end his bloodline and kill his son and end his roots.
Ghost King had great expectation for Hell King. He even gave everything, his small personal team, the cloning potion, and even the power-strengthening potion. To his surprise, it all failed, Hell King is nothing but a failure.
“Master, why did you want me to stay, is there more you ask of me?” Hell King’s face grew tense. After all he had failed this time, in the master’s eyes, he must not have left a good impression.
“Go to Hell Training Arena for closed-door training, go through the eighteen levels of hell then come back.” Ghost King said indifferently with a laugh.
Hell Training Arena
After hearing this place, Hell King’s face turned pale, eyes filled with terror. No one on the outside know of this terror. Being a member of the Ghost King Palace, that fear is known.
Hell Training Field, just as it sounded, it wanted you to go through training in hell. There were eighteen levels, it wanted you to run through mountains of knives, jump through seas of fire, and pots of grease and etc.
Ghost King has so many proteges, but only few would make it pass all eighteen levels, you can count those who did with two hands. Out of all the proteges only master White Impermanence and two brothers of Black Impermanence were able to succeed, but even them were badly hurt after all of it and almost died.
“Master, the Hell Training Field is too terrifying, I am not going.” Hell King shook his head, not wanting to go at all.
“You piece of trash, you lost your fiancée Ruyan to the Wolf King, your family was defeated by Wolf King, and you can’t even defeat him. Now you don’t even want to go to the Hell Training Field, you will be a failure all your life.” Ghost King gave him the stink eye with a condescending tone.
When it comes to the terror of the training field, Ghost king is well aware. He was once there when he was young, he almost died going through the levels. He knows, however, if you complete all the levels, you would become invincible.
After hearing Master’s reprimand, Hell tightened his fist and his nails piercing into this his palms. Fresh blood had oozed out from his palms, but he did not feel pain. Just the thought of Wolf King made him furious. He wished Wolf King were dead, and wanted to sever him into eight pieces.
“Here, the book of Ghost King Technique, I will give you this now. As long as you practice your ancient martial arts technique to the third level, it would be so swift and easy for you to kill Qingfeng Li.” Ghost King smiled indifferently and gave the black book to Hell King.
Ghost King Technique?
Looked at the book of martial arts in his hands, Hell King was full of joy. This book of ancient martial arts contained Ghost King’s supreme techniques. As long as you train yourself well by this book, you would become the master of ancient martial arts fighter.
“Master, I will definitely train myself and learn “Ghost King Technique”, and then pass the levels and kill Qingfeng.” said Hell King with his face full of joy. Hell King bowed and saluted with his palm in fist. He turned around and headed towards the training field of hell, he was going to secluded himself and went on to practice.
…
Wudang Mountain, inside the a room in the Daoist Temple.
Qingfeng laid on his bed, felt like a pleasure and also torture.
Xue Lin’s soft and tender hands, as precious as jades, with a hint of coolness. Being washed in the arms of Xue Lin, he could feel that wave of coldness.
Her palms were slightly red, as if there were a ball of fire burning within it. She washed Qingfeng forehead constantly, made him feel a rush of heat.
For these two women, not only their personality was different, their body constitutions were different too. One constitution was cold, icy all over, and the other was heated, hot all over.
The cuts on Qingfeng’s body had turned into scabs on his body, originally, it was fine to just wipe it once with a hot towel. But, the two women were fighting as if they were trying to see who was better at looking after people, so, they ended up wiping him constantly with towels.
Wiped it once, wiped it another time and then continue and repeat.
Qingfeng’s body was wiped down hundreds of times. One would enjoy it when wiped once, but when wiped hundreds of times; it is not enjoyment, it is torture.
Qingfeng cannot stand the wiping and cleaning of the two women, all he could do was reluctantly open his eyes and decide to wake up.
“Dear, you’re up.”
“Qingfeng, you’re up”
“Boss, you’re up.”
Seeing Qingfeng wake up, Xue Lin and Ruyan and all the disciples lit up with joy and excitement in their voices.
Cough cough!!
Qingfeng could never say that he was actually awake all this time, he was pretending to be sleeping the whole time; otherwise, the people around him would definitely be angry. He could only cough two coughs and pretend that he had just woken up.
“I am a bit hungry. Both of you, stop wiping me clean, can you fetch me something to eat?” Qingfeng looked at them in misery, which made Xue Lin and Ruyan very confused. We took care of you with such devotion, what are you miserable about?
“Boss, this is some medical soup, since you’re awake drink this as much as possible, it will help with your injuries.” the monk brought the first bowl to Qingfeng at the soonest convenience.
Qingfeng frowned and said, “I am hungry, I don’t want medicine, go get me something to eat.”
Last night when he was unconscious, the monk had already fed Qingfeng a whole stomach worth of medicine, so now he had it in his system. He is full from it that’s why he cannot take in anymore..
Qingfeng wants to eat solid food, Xue Lin and Ruyan both stood up and walk towards the kitchen and want to personally make food for Qingfeng.
Qingfeng knows Ruyan is bearing child and Xue Lin did not sleep all night. She made it out here overnight in the snow, he felt very appreciative. He did not want either of them to make the meal, but the two were now competing with each other, insisting to make the meal for Qingfeng.
Xue Lin went to the kitchen, made Qingfeng eggs and tomato noodle soup, and Ruyan made him fried pork strips in noodle soup.
When both these women brought what they cooked in front of him, Qingfeng hesitated. Should he taste Xue Lin’s dish first, or should he have Ruyan’s dish first? That was the difficult question.
Chapter 618: Qingfeng’s Opportunity
Xue Lin smiled tenderly and nicely, lifting the noodles from the tomato soup while Ruyan did the same for her pork noodle soup, both aiming for Qingfeng’s mouth. This made him really depressed. All he can do is to open his mouth wide and finish both of the meals these two women made.
Xue Lin and Ruyan were not budging, even to give him food. They were constantly force feeding Qingfeng noodles.
The Monks beside them were covering their mouths trying hard not to laugh. This was their first time seeing their boss being treated like this by women, and not even being able to be angry by it.
Luckily Qingfeng had a big appetite. He finished both dishes the women had prepared, but still felt a bit full.
“Say dear, who do you think made the better dish?” Xue Lin asked blinking her eyes.
“Yeah, tell us whose cooking you loved the most?” Ruyan asked pouting her hot red lips.
Qingfeng rolled his eyes, feeling this question was a pain in the ass. “Could you two ask constructive questions? Asking me who made the food better, I am not a three year old child, I refuse to answer this question.”
Qingfeng did not want to answer, but the two women disagreed. They wanted to compare and beat the other.
“Oh yes boss, I suddenly remembered. Master said when you’re awake, you should go see him.” The Monk said, saving him from this mess.
“The Master wants to see me, you two wait here.” Qingfeng said to the two ladies.
After saying this, Qingfeng escaped the tangle that these two women had created. He walked with the Monk to the furthest part of the monastery. They ended up standing in front of the ancient minimalistic looking room, covered with green and blue bricks and tiles. It was a very simplistic unadorned room.
The Monk opened the door, and walked in with Qingfeng. The room was very simple, there wasn’t even a bed in sight, just a zafu, a table, and an incense burner.
At this moment, Daozang Lu was sitting on the zafu. He heard footsteps approaching and opened his eyes.
“Qingfeng, you’re awake. How is the recovery of your injury?” Daozang Lu asked.
“Thank you, Temple Master, for the medicine. I feel that I have already recovered a third of my energy. After a few days, I should be able to recover fully.” Qingfeng smiled as he expressed his thanks to Daozang Lu.
Daozang Lu had a surprised look in his eyes. Had he’d known, if it were someone else to be hurt severely as Qingfeng was, they would not have recovered even after a few months.
“Lord, is there anything I can help you with during this visit?” Qingfeng asked without a clue in mind.
Daozang Lu’s gaze appeared solemn, “Qingfeng, that Ghost King Palace is a force of the ancient martial artists. It is very strong. What you are now is just an ordinary king. When you return to the city of Eastern Sea, they will send higher level ancient martial art fighters to kill you.”
Upon hearing Daozang Lu’s message, Qingfeng became silent. He knew what Daozang Lu said was the truth.
No matter how good you are yourself, there was always someone out there better than you.
Although Qingfeng was the Wolf King, and he stood at the top compared to ordinary people, he was not boastful. There were other ancient martial arts out there, and other people that are stronger than you.
Not mentioning the other aspects, the Black Impermanence alone with one hit could generate five thousand kilograms of force, enough to defeat Qingfeng.
Qingfeng knew that if he wanted to defeat Black Impermanence and destroy the Ghost King Palace, he has to practice ancient martial arts. This was not something that he had a chance to do, which caused him to be a bit depressed.
As if he could see Qingfeng’s gloominess, Daozang Lu said, “Qingfeng, are you upset because you don’t know ancient martial arts?”
“Yes, Temple Master, those ancient martial fighters are all very strong, if you don’t know ancient martial arts, you are not even an opponent.” Qingfeng nodded, admitting that he was not fit enough to be an opponent of any ancient martial art fighter.
“Qingfeng, I called you in today to gift you this book of ancient martial arts.” Daozang Lu said to everyone’s surprise.
Give me a book on ancient martial arts?
Qingfeng froze for a second, his eyes filled with surprise. What you have to know is, ancient martial arts are one of the pillars of foundations of any martial art sect. It was usually not shared nor passed on and dealt with secrecy. Not being a Wudang mountain disciple himself, Qingfeng was wondering why the old Monk would want to pass on their knowledge?
“Qingfeng, I will pass you the ancient martial arts on one condition, it is not given to you for free.”
“Please tell me Temple Master, what condition?”
“The patriarch of Wudang, also my own master, was trapped in the Forbidden realm of the Kunlun Mountains, unable to get out. The forbidden realm still has five months to go before it reopens. I wish that you can go and save him when you get to the forbidden realm.” Daozang Lu said.
Forbidden realm of the Kunlun Mountains?
Qingfeng’s brow moved, the forbidden realm seems like an unusual place. All things tended to point towards there.
Qingfeng’s father went missing in the forbidden realm, and now even the patriach of Wudang Mountain was missing there.
Qingfeng was confused for a moment before wondering why Wudang Mountain’s strength had decreased, since they were one of the pillars of ancient martial arts. Now, because their patriarch was hurt, their strength had decreased.
“Temple Master, I promise you, after five months when I enter the forbidden realm and see Wudang’s patriarch, I will save him from there.” Qingfeng said.
Daozang Lu nodded his head, with the look of relief. He turned around and walked towards a corner and took out a wooden box.
The wooden box was made of purple sandalwood, it’s about half a meter. On the box itself was carved all sorts of complex patterns. It was an antique.
Daozang Lu carefully opened the wooden box. Inside contained a book. The book was black with aged yellow pages, seemingly from many decades ago.
“Here, this book of ancient martial arts is for you.” Daozang Lu smiled slightly, and passed the book into the hands of Qingfeng.
Qingfeng looked at the aged pages on this black book. In detail he sees on the cover in big characters – True Martial Emperor Technique. When he opened the book, there were only three pages, nothing else after it.
What? Why only three pages?
Qingfeng had a look of surprise on his face. He knew that since it was Daozang Lu who sought him out, giving him the ancient martial arts book, this was for sure not a fake.
Qingfeng took a look at the first page. On it was described in detail the practices of the martial arts in the Lower Heaven level. The various stages included the early stage of strengthening the skin, mid-stage of strengthening the muscles, the late stage of strengthening the tendons, and the peak stage of strengthening the bones. Every stage allowed you to gain the strength of a thousand kilograms.
The second page introduced the Higher Heaven Level of martial arts practice: the early stage delt with refining the internal organs, the mid stage is to refine the meridian system, late stage is to refine the acupoints, peak stage is to refine the spirit and soul.
To practice the exterior tendons, bones and muscles are considered postnatal level. To practice internal chi is considered to be at the Higher Heaven Level.
The third page described the martial art practices of the grandmaster level. The stages are: early stage – to fly high through the skies, mid stage – to hurt with whatever is on hand (even with a leaf), late stage – to open and expand one’s realm, and the peak stage – to kill and not be seen, decapitate within a hundred meters.
As for what’s after the third page, there was nothing left, the pages were ripped out/
Just considering the content of these three pages, as long as you succeed in those practices, it was enough for you to become the ancient martial art grandmaster, and create your own school and style, allowing you to influence the world.
Qingfeng was smart, just by reading the title – True Martial Emperor Technique, he knew this was not a common technique. Thinking about it, to become and to be called the emperor, how many of those do we have in history?
Qingfeng had some knowledge in Daoism. Rumours had it that for the True Martial Emperor, he was the son of Pangu, the reincarnation of master Daode Tianzun, the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord, the founding ancestral master of Dao, and one of the four saints of the north.
“This ancient martial art is not easy.” He said bluntly to Qingfeng, this book had a great history.
Chapter 619: The Cultivation Genius Qingfeng Li
(TL: Why am I not surprised that he’s a genius in this sht too)
“Qingfeng, for the next couple days you should stay at Wudang Mountain and practice from the ancient martial arts technique. After a couple of days you can come back to Eastern Sea city after your injuries get better.” Daozang Lu said to Qingfeng Li.
“Thank you Temple Master, sorry for the inconvenience for the past couple of days.” thanked Qingfeng Li, his heart full of gratitude.
With the thought of Xue Lin and Ruyan Liu still in the room, Qingfeng Li knew he couldn’t head back now. Whenever the two women saw him, they would fight vigorously with one another, which would definitely delay his practices.
“Monk, when you head back, please tell Xue Lin and Ruyan that I will be here, resting for a couple of days. I will not be seeing them for a while.” Qingfeng Li said to Xuanji Lu.
Xuanji Lu opened his mouth, as if to say something, but halted when he saw the sternness in Qingfeng Li’s eyes. He had no choice but to send the message to the two women. The thought of seeing Xue Lin and Ruyan Liu gave him a headache.
“Temple Master, can I begin to practice the ancient martial arts technique?” Qingfeng Li asked.
“Of course, but this martial arts technique is extremely difficult, you must prepare yourself.” Daozang Lu said.
With the permission of Daocang Lu, Qingfeng Li retrieved another mat, sitting cross-legged on the ground, beginning to read the first page of the Lower Heaven Level practice contents.
The first level of the Lower Heaven Level was the exercise of skin cultivation. Like the name implied, it was an exercise for the skin. The skin on a human body is the most exposed to the outside environmen. It is also the most prone to injuries. Therefore, the first step was to train the skin until it became tough, like an iron wall.
Qingfeng Li followed the breathing technique described in the first level and began breathing in strange patterns. This technique was very different from ordinary breathing. It seemed a bit special.
When Qingfeng Li first began, his whole entire body felt uncomfortable due to him holding his breath, as if someone was pinching his nose and he was drowning underwater.
Every intake of breath was followed by three minutes of breath-holding. After just a while of practice, both Qingfeng Li’s face and body turned fiery red from holding in his breath.
Daozang Lu sat on another mat on the ground. Seeing Qingfeng Li’s fiery red face, he lightly laughed, because he had experienced the same thing during his younger years of practicing this very same martial arts technique.
Daozang Lu closed his eyes, deciding not to look at Qingfeng Li exercising. Because he knew of the extreme difficulties one faces in the beginning stages of the process. For an ordinary person, ancient martial arts is a brand new territory, requiring them to start from the very beginning.
Qingfeng Li tried many times, but every time he failed to hold his breath for more than three minutes. The first level of skin exercising seemed impossible.
Although Qingfeng Li failed all his attempts, he wasn’t discouraged. If it had been that easy to accomplish the ancient martial arts practices, many people would have become ancient martial art masters by now.
The practice of ancient martial arts required high natural aptitudes. Without the talent and the insight, one would not be able to complete the process even if given the practice.
Did Qingfeng Li have the talent? Of course he did. The insight? He did as well. Without these natural gifts he wouldn’t have become Wolf King, rising above billions and billions of people, arriving at the peak of mankind.
But ancient martial arts was a whole other mountain he wanted to climb. He had just come in contact with it, so he’s starting from zero. This was a whole other realm. In this realm, he was a weakling.
As if climbing a mountain, the Black Impermanence had already reached the mountainside, but Qingfeng Li was still at the very bottom. In the beginning stages, this ancient martial arts mountain was going to be much more difficult to climb than any regular mountain.
Qingfeng Li had a particular strength, he was good at gaining insights.
He began to recall, in great details, his practicing techniques from before, going through his mistakes and problems. He knew that ancient martial art was different from any ordinary martial arts. He needed to abandon his previous ideas and concepts. One wouldn’t use the same techniques to drive both an electric car and a gas car. It’s the same concept.
Current martial arts all focus on the exercising the strength of the skin, whether through hitting sandbags, boxing, etc, in order to increase the strength of the skin. But ancient martial arts exercises the skin through the use of breathing techniques to create special powers.
Breathing, breathing, right, I must master my breathing method?
A light bulb went off in Qingfeng Li’s head. His eyes lit up, feeling as if he had figured out something important.
It is common knowledge that people breathe through their noses. But what about animals and plants. Fish breathes through their gills and plants take in oxygen through their roots, leaves, stems, flowers, and fruits.
Plants have the ability to breathe through every part of their body. But humans, a species that’s considered much more advanced than plants, was it also possible for humans to breathe through every part of their body?
Which part of the body comes in contact with air? It’s the skin of course. If the skin was equivalent to the root, the leaf, the flower, and the fruit, then was it also capable of breathing?
At the thought of this, Qingfeng Li began to follow the breathing techniques in <<True Martial Emperor Technique >>. However, this time he tried to breath through his skin, and not his nose.
The Skin has many pores, which are connected to the body. Under the microscope, one can clearly see the pores moving around freely, as if fluttering catkins, breathing in air through unique measures.
Qingfeng Li followed the ancient martial arts breathing technique, using his skin to breathe. At his surprise, it actually worked. Oxygen had entered his body through his skin.
Qingfeng Li completely closed off his nostrils and his mouth, only breathing through his skin, and he actually succeeded in holding his breath for a whole ten minutes.
Ten minutes. That’s an astonishing number. Because when a person uses their nose to breathe, it is impossible to hold in ten minutes of breath. There are only two nostrils, and the lung’s capacity to store oxygen is limited.
But the skin is different. The area of the human skin is huge, using it to breathe means massive storage for oxygen. Not only oxygen, but energy can also be stored within the skin.
Outwardly, Qingfeng Li’s practice of ancient martial arts was to perfect breathing techniques. But in actuality it was to absorb the special energies within the atmosphere. These energies cannot be seen with the naked eye, but they definitely exist.
Certain special energies entered his body through the breathing techniques, heating his skin, causing it to excrete the built-up hidden dusts and oils out of his body. This was better than any hot bath, spa or massage he could have received.
Along with the secretion of impurities, Qingfeng Li’s skin became ruddy, snowy plump, emitting a hind of white light. His skin had greatly improved in both its toughness and resistance to injuries.
Along with the increased time of breathing through his skin, he further perspired black impurities in addition to the dusts and debris secreted from his skin.
These black impurities were not dust, but dead skin cells and debris from a deeper layer of skin. Hot baths or showers couldn’t have washed them off. The only way to get rid of them was through skin-breathing techniques.
Because they were stored in the body for too long, these dead skin and impurities came out oily and black, releasing a foul scent throughout the secretion process.
Daocang Lu opened his eyes after smelling the odorous air. When he saw the impurities and dead skin cells excreted by Qingfeng Li’s skin, his face changed drastically, eyes filled with awe.
Cultivation genius, Qingfeng Li was surprisingly a practicing genius. In the short amount of time he had mastered breathing through his skin.
Chapter 620: Injury Recovered
“Qingfeng, did you master the skin-breathing technique?” Daozang Lu asked with raised eyebrows and a look of complete shock.
His voice was trembling, somewhat excited. His body was also trembling, indicating that he wasn’t able to calm down.
Qingfeng Li nodded his head and said: “yes, I’ve mastered skin-breathing.”
“Genius, Qingfeng, you are definitely a practicing genius if I ever did witness one. You are even better than me.” Daozang Lu praised, his face full of admiration.
When he first practiced the ancient martial arts, it took him no less than one whole month to master skin-breathing. It was incredible that Qingfeng Li had mastered the technique in a day.
Previously, Daozang Lu’s highest ranking was but of peak Higher Heaven Level. After his injuries, his abilities have decreased to late-stage Lower Heaven.
Daozang Lu’s greatest goal in life was to become a grandmaster martialist, becoming like his teacher. So far, he has failed in his quest.
Through Qingfeng Li, Daozang Lu saw his dreams of becoming a grandmaster martialist come back to life. He also saw a hope in bringing back his teacher from the forbidden district.
When he first gave Qingfeng Li <<True Martial Emperor Technique>> to practice, Daozang Lu only thought of it as an idea to try out. After all, Qingfeng Li was the Wolf King, he should have impeccable qualities.
What had completely surprised Daozang Lu was the fact that Qingfeng Li didn’t only possess incredible qualities, he was beyond human, actually mastering skin-breathing within one day of time. Daozang Lu had never witnessed any one as genius as Qingfeng Li in his lifetime.
“Temple Master, this breathing technique is indeed amazing, I feel as if the wounds on my body have healed.” Qingfeng Li said, smiling.
Qingfeng Li had been heavily wounded this time around. He had healed a third of his injuries the night before after drinking in the soup medicine. Originally, he would have needed a few more days for recovery. Amazingly, the skin-breathing technique had healing powers. Not only had his wounds recovered, all of the scars on his skin had fallen off.
Also, Qingfeng Li’s skin was completely rid of impurities. His skin was smooth and delicate, like a newborn baby, without a trace of flaw.
“Qingfeng, try throwing a punch, let’s see your strength?” Daozang Lu asked.
Qingfeng Li nodded his head and punched into the air. With a loud bang, his punch immediately created two loud bursts, creating two circles in the air.
One loud burst and air hole equalled a thousand kg, two loud bursts would then equal two thousand kg of strength
After mastering skin-breathing, Qingfeng Li’s strength had increased by a thousand kg, reaching two thousand.
“Qingfeng, congratulations, you are now an ancient martial arts master, you’ve reached the level of beginning stage of Lower Heaven state.” Daozang Lu said with a congratulatory look.
So this is the power of ancient martial arts, so powerful. Qingfeng Li’s heart filled with delight.
Qingfeng Li felt the powerful energies in his body and also the toughness of his skin. Ordinary weapons wouldn’t be able to leave a scratch on his skin.
“Temple Master, my injuries of have healed, may I head back to ES city?” Qingfeng Li asked. He had been away from ES city for a couple of days now, he missed the place, already regarding the city as his home.
“Of course, but after you return to your city you must keep practicing ancient martial arts. The first level is relatively easy. It will become more and more difficult.” Daozang Lu carefully informed Qingfeng Li, also explaining the details and cautions of later practices.
Qingfeng Li nodded his head. He understood that he had mastered the first level of skin-breathing through his insight. He took inspiration from the physiology of plants, leading to the success of his skin-breathing mastery.
Although the practices of ancient martial arts would become more and more difficult, Qingfeng Li’s heart was filled with confidence. He knew that he possessed superhuman talents and insights. (TL: I think you mean plot armor) He would succeed in mastering the practices, no matter the difficulty.
Daozang Lu handed Qingfeng Li <<True Martial Emperor Technique>> as he exited the room, making sure he kept it close at all times. That would allow him to consult the text whenever he had difficulties during practice.
Satisfied, Qingfeng Li left Daozang Lu’s room and returned to his resting place.
Right as Qingfeng Li entered the room, Xue Lin, Ruyan Liu, Ziyi Miao, Alice and the rest of the gang all threw their gaze onto him, all looking surprised.
“Are there flowers on my face? Why are all of you staring at me?” Qingfeng Li asked with a voice filled with questions. Being the center of attention, he felt uncomfortable.
Everyone nodded, speaking at the same time: your face indeed has flowers.
Alice was the first to jump up, running towards Qingfeng Li, pinching his cheeks, yelling: “boss, what medicine did you eat? Why is your skin so smooth, so supple, it’s better than mine.”
“Honey, did you go to a beauty parlor? Your skin is impeccable.” Xue Li batted her eyelashes, her voice was laced with admiration.
Xue Lin also had amazing skin, white and tender, but because she had not slept the night before, her skin appeared a bit dim, her eye bags now prominent. At the sudden sight of Qingfeng Li’s amazing skin, she was naturally envious.
“It’s because I’m handsome.” Qingfeng Li said, narcissistically.
These people didn’t know the reason behind his skin transformation, but of course, Qingfeng Li knew of every little detail. He had practiced the first level of <<True Martial Emperor Technique>>, skin-breathing. This was a high-level technique of ancient martial arts. It forced out all of the dead skins, acne, blackheads, and other impurities from his skin. It had also tempered his skin, making it crystal smooth and supple.
Of course, Daozang Lu had already instructed Qingfeng Li of staying mum about his practices in ancient martial arts towards the others, including Xue Lin. The ancient technique was a secret of the sect. If it weren’t for saving his teacher, he wouldn’t have passed the practices to Qingfeng Li.
“Boss, you’ve recovered?” Alice asked, surprised at the ruddiness on Qingfeng Li’s face.
Alice knew, in great detail, of Qingfeng Li’s injuries from the previous day. He couldn’t have healed without a minimum of a couple of days. But now, he had recovered after merely one day. Obviously, she was astonished by his speedy recovery.
Qingfeng Li nodded his head and said: “my wounds have healed, we can head back to ES city today.”
Upon hearing this, the whole gang was excited. They were not accustomed to the lifestyle in the temple as there were a lot of rules. If they head back to ES city, they would be free to do anything, maybe even get completely wasted.
Qingfeng Li finished packing what little things he had. Actually, it was just the meteorite blade he had obtained from Hell King. This sword was a powerful weapon. Qingfeng Li decided to temporarily keep it for himself, because his Life-Reaping dagger had been taken by Hell King.
Qingfeng Li, Xue Li, Ruyan Liu and the rest of the gang all left Wudang mountain. Before they left, Daozang Lu brought Monk and Xuan Miao to personally see them off.
Monk was originally supposed to head to ES city, but Qingfeng Li asked him to stay at Wudang mountain to tend to Daozang Lu’s injuries. Xuan Miao was too young, Monk was the best candidate for the job.
Qingfeng Li led the group of people onto cars, triumphantly driving towards ES city.
