Chapter 176: Martial Arts and Vital Energy
2024-09-11
"Your child, Gu Yang, now controls twelve territories, with an army exceeding a million. His power has greatly increased!"
"Your child, Gu Yang, is resting and focusing on martial arts research, enhancing his cultivation!"
"Your child, Gu Xuan, has received guidance from a Grandmaster-level martial artist, enhancing his cultivation!"
"Your child, Gu Xiu, has received guidance from a Grandmaster-level martial artist, enhancing his cultivation!"
"Your child, Gu Shengnu, has received refinement from a Grandmaster-level martial artist, improving her innate potential!"
"Your child, Gu Shengnu, has been long-term refined by innate true energy, her vital energy is abundant, and she has passively entered the martial arts realm, breaking through to the initial stage of toughening the skin!"
"Reward: 1 Enhancement Point!"
...
Gu Qingfeng, who was meditating in the Sharpening Hall, saw the content on the information panel and his expression changed slightly.
Immediately, he left the Sharpening Hall and headed to the Inner Courtyard.
There, he saw Gu Shengnu being held in the arms of Xu Yulan, with Zhong Li looking on with a mix of surprise and concern. When they saw Gu Qingfeng arrive, both of their expressions changed.
"Lord Husband (Father)!"
"Hmm."
Gu Qingfeng waved his hand, his gaze fixed on Gu Shengnu the entire time.
The two-year-old child had a round, chubby face that made one want to pinch her cheeks.
However, what Gu Qingfeng was concerned about was not her appearance, but the abnormal vital energy within her body.
Entering the martial arts realm!
This was something Gu Qingfeng had not expected.
After all, normal children would start cultivating martial arts at least around six or seven years old, when their bones and muscles were more stable. If they started too young, it could easily lead to problems.
Infants were naturally weak. How could they bear the power of martial arts vital energy?
So, the moment he saw Gu Shengnu, Gu Qingfeng took her small hand and used a faint true energy to probe her condition.
After a moment, Gu Qingfeng's expression eased slightly.
On the other side, Xu Yulan looked somewhat tense. "Husband, is Shengnu alright?"
To be honest, when she saw Gu Shengnu enter the martial arts realm and cultivate vital energy, Xu Yulan was also quite surprised.
Gu Qingfeng shook his head. "There's no major issue. Although her vital energy is abundant, her meridians and bones are also more robust than usual. This vital energy gradually changes her body over time, and long-term cultivation has many benefits."
"From what I can see, using innate true energy to refine the body is quite beneficial for infants, but Shengnu is still too young to truly cultivate martial arts."
"After all, martial arts cultivation focuses on strengthening the body. If one starts too young without sufficient age, it can harm the body. However, using innate true energy for refinement is not a problem."
Hearing Gu Qingfeng's words, Xu Yulan and Zhong Li both visibly relaxed.
On the other side, Gu Qingfeng was also somewhat surprised by Gu Shengnu's current condition.
In the end, the foundation of the Gu Family Manor was still relatively weak, unlike the immortal sects and noble families with thousands of years of tradition, where many things and experiences have been passed down and refined over generations.
In comparison, the Gu Family Manor could not be mentioned in the same breath as these immortal sects.
However, Gu Qingfeng also confirmed something indirectly.
Why were these immortal sects able to endure for so long? It was because they could continuously cultivate a sufficient number of strong individuals.
Intrinsic True Qi nurtures the body and enhances one's physical constitution.
Even those with mediocre potential can be forcibly altered.
However, in most factions, who would allow a Congenital Master to expend their resources to change someone else’s physical foundation?
“Someone here!”
Gu Qingfeng suddenly called out loudly.
Immediately, three figures appeared and respectfully bowed to Gu Qingfeng.
“Greetings, Lord!”
Xu Yulan’s face changed slightly when she saw the three figures appear suddenly.
With her current level of cultivation, she could clearly see that all three were Congenital Master level martial artists.
“Hongye, Duopo, and Zhuishen are all retainers of the Gu Family Manor, and they are all Congenital Master level martial artists.”
Gu Qingfeng noticed the shock and confusion on Xu Yulan’s and Zhong Li’s faces and explained.
Then, he turned to the three and said, “For the next while, you will take turns using your Intrinsic True Qi to cleanse Shengnan’s physical foundation.”
“Yes!”
The three, Hongye, Duopo, and Zhuishen, responded calmly.
Seeing this, Gu Qingfeng didn’t say anything more.
Since Intrinsic True Qi could not only change a child’s physical foundation but also help them advance in martial arts at an earlier age, laying a solid foundation for the future, Gu Qingfeng naturally wouldn’t waste this opportunity.
However, with just Xu Yulan’s efforts, it was ultimately limited.
After all, she not only had to cleanse Gu Shengnan’s physical foundation but also occasionally adjust the conditions of Gu Xuan and Gu Xi. Even a Congenital Master’s True Qi, no matter how abundant, couldn’t withstand such continuous consumption.
Fortunately, Hongye and the others were also Congenital Master level, and Gu Qingfeng wouldn’t let this opportunity go to waste.
In the past, the relationship with these Congenital Master retainers was a closely guarded secret, and Gu Qingfeng wouldn’t easily reveal it.
But now, the news of a few more Congenital Masters in the Gu Family Manor wouldn’t cause any significant harm.
Or rather, at Gu Qingfeng’s current level, many things were no longer worth his concern. Even if others knew about the Gu Family Manor’s secrets, they wouldn’t dare to act on it.
In the end, this world was ruled by strength.
At the same time, Gu Qingfeng was curious to see how Gu Shengnan would perform in martial arts if he were to be nurtured with Intrinsic True Qi from a young age.
After that, Gu Qingfeng returned to the Forge Hall.
He spent most of his time now in deep contemplation and deduction, aiming to create the Bone Refinement Chapter of the Eternal Life Technique. If not for Gu Shengnan’s matter, he wouldn’t have emerged from his seclusion.
As the only descendant of the third generation of the Gu Family, Gu Qingfeng naturally cared about Gu Shengnan.
“However, the Gu Family’s lineage is a bit thin. When I have the time, I should make sure Yang leaves more descendants for the Gu Family!”
Gu Qingfeng thought to himself.
At his current level of cultivation, having more children was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
So, he placed his hopes on Gu Yang and others.
Currently, Gu Xuan and Gu Xi were too young, making Gu Yang the most suitable.
If the third generation of the Gu Family grew in numbers, strengthening the family would be just a matter of time.
Then, Gu Qingfeng glanced at the information panel.
Since Gu Yang unified the entire Mount Tai Prefecture, the frequency of updates on the information panel had significantly decreased.
Initially, Gu Qingfeng thought that Gu Yang’s conquest of the entire Mount Tai Prefecture would achieve some significant milestones, but the information panel remained largely unchanged, disappointing his expectations.
