Martial Arts Cultivation

Afternoon.

Shen Ying sent Lu Zheng and the Liu sisters all the way to the peach blossom garden.

"If you are free, come and visit me."

"As long as you don't mind Qingquan disturbing you, I will."

"The manor has been quiet for a long time. With Qingquan here, it's more lively."

Shen Ying watched as the few of them got into the cart. "Oh right, I'm usually in the manor and don't go out. I'm only not around during full moon and new moon. You don't have to come here on those two days."

"I'll remember this. Goodbye, sister!"

...

"I didn't expect there to be such a quiet and elegant manor in the depths of the peach blossom garden. I don't think I've ever heard the people in the county mention it." Lu Zheng said as he flipped through the book in his hand.

"The manor is not located in the dense forest. It's a distance away from the southeast mountain. Generally, people who go for a walk will not go there." Liu Qingyan explained.

"That's reasonable. "

The great Jing dynasty was different from the modern era where there were roads in the mountains and rivers, and all kinds of poisonous insects and fierce beasts had been driven away.

In the great Jing dynasty, even in a tourist-packed place like the peach blossom garden, only the few acres of forest in the periphery were safe. If they went a little deeper, they would see land overgrown with weeds and no roads. God knew what poisonous insects and fierce beasts would appear in the southeast mountains.

Lu Zheng returned to the county and gave the remaining preserved plums to Liu Qingquan. He then bade the Liu sisters farewell and returned home.

After returning to the modern world, he looked at his phone and saw that no one was looking for him. He immediately returned and began to learn the martial arts cultivation method he had obtained today.

[Eighteen Mountain-bearing Forms].

There were a total of 18 basic movements. They were techniques to defend against enemies.

During training, one must maintain each movement and then move a specific muscle. From the outside to the inside, the muscles, Qi, blood, internal organs, and bones will be trained.

It would strengthen his constitution and increase his vitality.

When facing an enemy, every movement was for both offence and defence. With this as a foundation, one could move the Qi cultivated from the eighteen forms.

Fortunately, after cultivating the Quiet Breathing Technique, Lu Zheng was able to understand it.

At the same time, he also discovered the difference between the two cultivation techniques.

The Quiet Breathing Technique was a Taoist breathing technique that focused on Qi. It could slowly improve the meridians in the body and had a limited ability to improve the body's constitution, but it was very good for one's health.

Qi was like the energy of heaven and earth. According to the scriptures, it had various uses and was the foundation of spells.

Eighteen Mountain-bearing Forms was a martial arts cultivation method. Its ability to improve one's physical fitness was much stronger than the Quiet Breathing Technique. At the same time, it increased the strength of the cultivator's Qi.

More specifically, their blood Qi!

His blood was like a furnace, his Qi was like smoke, fierce and violent, his attack was unparalleled!

Well, he didn't know if there were other types of martial arts in this world, but at least this was what it felt like with this technique.

Fortunately, the cultivation of internal Qi and blood Qi did not conflict with each other. Lu Zheng could cultivate both at the same time.

With the light of providence in his hands, Lu Zheng did not have to worry about his limited energy or being distracted. He felt good just thinking about it.

Without further delay, he started practicing!

...

As the name suggested, each movement was like carrying a mountain on one's back.

It was either on his shoulders, back, or arms.

With this as the basis of his imagination, he could mobilize the specific muscles in his body to bear the mountain in his imagination.

Before dinner, Lu Zheng was already able to perform three introductory movements. He could even move his muscles and exert force.

Although it was still far from perfect, it was enough to utilize the light of providence.

Other people would need years of cultivation to achieve this, but Lu Zheng only needed two days with the light of providence.

After dinner, Lu Zheng continued his cultivation. Before he went to bed, he had already completed the basics of seven movements.

The next day, Lu Zheng didn't go out at all.

Until evening...

In the backyard, Lu Zheng was sweating and panting heavily after he had completed eighteen moves in a row.

"As expected of a martial arts cultivation method. Increasing vitality really consumes a lot of physical strength!"

He had eaten an entire chicken and four large bowls of rice for lunch, but Lu Zheng's stomach was still growling.

"Young master, it's time to eat!"

...

After finishing two fish and five large steamed buns, Lu Zheng patted his stomach and returned to his bedroom.

"Upgrade!"

"Swish!"

The jade seal trembled slightly, and the last three rays of light of providence were exhausted.

Then, a thick blood Qi was produced in Lu Zheng's body.

At the same time, Lu Zheng's muscles began to tremble. From the outside to the inside, his meridians, bone marrow, and internal organs began to slowly transform.

"What the..."

Lu Zheng lay on the bed, shaking like a leaf. His entire body was sore and refreshed.

This was the first time he had felt such an intense transformation in his body.

In the beginning of cultivation, an ordinary person would use these movements to train their body and improve their Qi. Only with enough talent and training would they begin to produce Qi that could be used in battles.

Lu Zheng skipped this step. The light of providence could produce blood Qi directly, but it couldn't change Lu Zheng's physique in an instant. No matter how fast it was, it would take time and Lu Zheng would have to adapt to it.

Previously, he had improved his body's constitution. As it was a general improvement, it was easier for Lu Zheng to adapt to it.

This time, the areas of improvement were more concentrated, which was why Lu Zheng could feel it so strongly.

It was fortunate that Lu Zheng had improved his body's constitution a few times before this. Otherwise, he might have fainted.

"Transmigration!"

Lu Zheng tried his best to communicate with the jade seal with his mind and teleported back to the modern world.

"Ah~~~"

…

Lu Zheng got to his feet. Although his body was still sore, he felt full of energy.

Standing in front of the full-length mirror, he saw a six-pack abs and a mermaid line. It would move women's hearts and make them drool.

Back in ancient times, Lu Zheng practiced boxing and stretched his body, and brandished his sword for a while. Only then did he finish his morning training.

Lu Zheng nodded his head in satisfaction. No wonder people said that forging iron was addictive. The feeling of becoming stronger was indeed satisfying.

"It's been half a month since I obtained the Quiet Breathing Technique, and the light of providence has been used up. I can go to Baiyun Temple again."

"I don't know if I can get what I want this time."

Lu Zheng had his breakfast and returned to the modern world.

He washed up, changed his clothes, and went out.

It was a sunny day today. Lu Zheng sent Du Lin a message after he left. After receiving a reply, he took a taxi and headed straight to the Hall of Ancient Swords.
