Chapter 72: Teaching the Kung Fu [Seeking Follow-up Reading] After seeing Zhou Yuwan off, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but ponder for a moment. The reason why he taught Zhou Yuwan the Peach Blossom Water-Chasing Sutra this time was mainly because Zhou Yuwan’s aptitude was indeed good. Among the Qi-cultivating monks, those with two spiritual roots are rare to find, and the dual spiritual roots of water and wood are extremely compatible with the Peach Blossom Chasing Water Sutra. If Zhou Yuwan practices the Peach Blossom Chasing Water Sutra, he may have a chance to cultivate a superior foundation for the Tao in the future. His aptitude is one in a thousand, and it is in line with the Peach Blossom Chasing Water Sutra. This is a one in a million opportunity even among cultivators. Of course, whether Ye Linyuan will help her in the future, or whether he will teach her the second volume of Peach Blossom Chasing Water Sutra, depends on Zhou Yuwan's character and whether it is worth Ye Linyuan's investment in her. "It depends on her luck." Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart and thought of everyone in the Ye family again. He had mastered many cultivation techniques in his previous life, some of which were capable of cultivating a superior foundation for the Dao, but he had never passed these techniques on to his clansmen over the years. The main reason for doing this is because of my own lack of strength.
But now, Ye Linyuan’s strength is already the best in the Ye family. If he can break through the late stage of Qi training in a few months, he will probably be able to fight against someone who has achieved perfect Qi training. Therefore, Ye Linyuan is now able to suppress the entire Ye family, so he does not need to be so strict about teaching the martial arts. "You can teach me the skills now, but there is no need to teach me the advanced skills." Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart and soon came up with a plan. He planned to prepare a set of cultivation techniques that would allow each of the family's several Qi-cultivating cultivators to cultivate to the foundation-building level. The reason why only the foundation-building techniques are taught is because most of the techniques at the Jindan level are superior techniques. However, the superior techniques are often too abstruse and require a high degree of qualification. It is very difficult for ordinary Qigong practitioners to get started, let alone embark on the path of cultivation. Most of the people in the Ye family have average qualifications. It is too difficult for them to comprehend the superior skills, and the possibility of success is not high. Instead of letting them waste time, it is better to practice the foundation-building level skills that suit you. Moreover, Ye Linyuan has mastered hundreds of volumes of foundation-building techniques, and the techniques specially selected for them can be regarded as the best among the foundation-building techniques. By practicing the most suitable foundation-building technique, and with Ye Linyuan's cultivation in the future, if the Ye family has enough opportunities, they may still have a chance to build a foundation. “Hopefully they can live up to expectations.” Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, then took out a pen and paper and copied down the eight volumes of foundation-building techniques. These eight volumes of exercises are all excellent foundation-building exercises, among which the most precious ones are "Golden Light and Fiery Fire Sutra", "Qingyang Sutra" and "Canghe Sutra". Among these three ancient scriptures, the Golden Light and Fiery Sutra contains the dual attributes of gold and fire. After practicing this sutra, the true energy will be doubled, and it will also greatly benefit the refining of equipment. It was specially prepared by Ye Linyuan for Old Man Ye. The Qingyang Sutra is suitable for the cultivation of fire and wood spiritual roots, and it also greatly improves the method of alchemy. It was prepared by Ye Linyuan for Ye Qinyang. The Canghe Sutra has the dual attributes of earth and water, and contains a complete second-level formation inheritance, which was prepared by Ye Linyuan for Ye Qinxin. As for the third uncle Ye Qinchu in this life, he seemed to be very interested in the way of puppets. Ye Linyuan taught him a 'Puppet Refining Sutra' which was suitable for the way of puppets. After copying the technique, Ye Linyuan gave it to everyone on the same day. The technique that the Ye family originally practiced was a non-attributed technique called the Five Elements Na Yuan Sutra. Although this technique did not require any spiritual roots, the true qi that was cultivated was also the most ordinary.
The quality of the true Qi cultivated by the foundation-building technique is stronger. Even if it is not as good as Ye Linyuan's Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong, compared with the original Five Elements Na Yuan Jing, it can also have a stronger quality or thickness of true Qi. Ye Linyuan believed that when they completed their transformation, with the stronger true qi from the foundation-building exercises and the blessing of the Three-Turn Condensation Essence Art, the strength of everyone in the Ye family would be greatly improved. "The technique has been taught. The next step is to accumulate strength and wait for the best time to take action." After completing the teaching of the skills, Ye Linyuan suppressed all thoughts and began to continue his cultivation. He then took care of a few acres of spiritual fields while concentrating his energy on spiritual practice. He occasionally trained Taoist soldiers in his spare time, and the days passed quickly like this. Time flies so fast, and before we know it, five months have passed again. Until this day, Ye Linyuan slowly finished his practice again, and an inexplicable light suddenly appeared in his calm eyes. At this time, he looked inward at his meridians and found that the true Qi in his meridians had been completely filled. A total of sixty-four streams of true Qi ran through his whole body, reaching the limit where it was difficult to make any further progress. "The true qi is full, and it has reached the perfection of the middle stage of Qi Refining." "If you want to continue practicing, you must break through the late stage of Qi training." Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and a trace of solemnity appeared in his pupils. After a cultivator's cultivation reaches perfection in the middle stage of Qi Refining, if he wants to continue to accumulate true Qi, he must break through his own limit. To break through the late stage of Qi training, one has to absorb a large amount of spiritual energy in one breath, and when the meridians have reached their storage limit, forcefully infuse true Qi into the meridians. In this way, the true Qi can be compressed and thus have a higher true Qi quality. And after having a higher level of true qi quality, one can use the higher level of true qi to open up the tendons and veins, thereby widening the width of the main meridians, and even breaking open some blocked and small meridians, further enhancing the ability of the meridians to store true qi. After completing the breakthrough, the quality of the cultivator's true qi will be greatly improved, and the upper limit of true qi storage will also be greatly improved. It is also because of this that the upper limit of true Qi that can be stored in the later stages of Qi training can be greatly increased. Generally speaking, a cultivator who has reached perfection in the middle stage of Qi training can cultivate forty strands of true Qi, and after breaking through the seventh level of Qi training, he can directly possess seventy strands of true Qi. The seventh level of Qi training is perfected to produce 108 lines of true Qi, and when Qi training is perfected, one can cultivate 365 lines of true Qi. Theoretically, after possessing 365 strands of true qi, they can be fused and condensed into a true essence that runs through the whole body, but the prerequisite is to be able to break through the foundation-building stage. Of course, the amount of true Qi mentioned here is just the true Qi cultivated through ordinary Qigong exercises. Some advanced skills, depending on the attributes they focus on, can often cultivate more true Qi, or make the quality of the true Qi more powerful. For example, if Old Man Ye's Golden Light and Fiery Fire Sutra could be cultivated to perfection in Qi refining, the thickness of his Qi would be at least 20% stronger than that of the Five Elements Qi Gong, and the quality of his Qi would far exceed the ordinary Qi cultivated through the Five Elements Qi Gong. Ye Linyuan's Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong can allow a cultivator who has completed Qi training to double his Qi reserves. (End of this chapter)
