Chapter 66: Xu Yan's Qi and Blood Reach Perfection, Enlightenment of the Primal Spirit Realm Technique
After obtaining his master's permission, Xu Yan returned home once more. He imparted the martial arts cultivation methods to his parents, starting with the foundation of sensing qi and blood, followed by refining the skin.
For this purpose, he intentionally brought back a Nine-Leaf Primal Herb to aid his parents in their cultivation and to enhance their perception of qi and blood.
Currently, the core guards of the Xu family included Pan Yaoshi and over ten fiercely loyal escorts. These individuals were secretly cultivated by Xu Junhe.
Pan Yaoshi possessed the strength of a top-tier master in the martial arts world, and the rest of the escorts were also first-rate experts.
Moreover, Pan Yaoshi was skilled in refining nourishing medicinal pills.
Since they were considered core members of the Xu family, Xu Yan imparted the martial arts techniques to them as well. Whether they could cultivate successfully and possess the necessary talent would depend on their own fortune.
Of course, Xu Yan only taught them the methods of refining the skin, bones, and organs. He did not impart the techniques of the Qi and Blood Realm.
The Qi and Blood Realm was too distant a goal for them.
Upon returning to Donghe County, Xu Yan set off for the capital once more to impart the martial arts techniques to his maternal uncle, cousin, and others.
In Yunshan County, Li Xuan sat leisurely in a chair.
Meng Chong, as always, diligently cultivated. With his practice, his physical body's Golden Bell became stronger, and his bones had already been tempered to the stage of Iron Bones.
Shi Er also visited daily to cook, clean, and perform other miscellaneous chores. He was quick and efficient in handling matters, making him a good errand runner. Li Xuan decided to teach him the martial arts technique of refining the skin.
Shi Er was already a top-tier master in the martial arts world. If he possessed martial arts talent and could sense qi and blood, his strength would increase significantly after refining his skin. Moreover, the speed at which he could complete the refinement wouldn't be too slow.
"Shi Er, come here!"
Li Xuan beckoned.
"Senior, what are your instructions?"
Shi Er hurried over and asked respectfully.
"You're a smart and diligent person. Very well, as I travel through the world, I need someone to run errands and handle miscellaneous tasks. Are you willing to accompany me?"
Li Xuan asked calmly.
"Willing? Of course, this is an unparalleled opportunity for me!"
Shi Er was thrilled and immediately knelt down with a thud.
"Shi Er, pay respects to Master!"
Thump, thump, thump!
"Hmm, you may rise."
Li Xuan nodded and said, "Then, I shall impart to you the fundamental martial arts technique of refining the skin. Whether you can enter this path will depend on your own talent and fortune."
"Yes, thank you, Master!"
Shi Er's heart was pounding with excitement.
Finally, he had the opportunity to become a martial arts powerhouse.
"The first step in martial arts cultivation is to sense qi and blood and then refine the skin. Today, I will teach you the method of refining the skin. Whether you can enter this path will depend on your own talent and fortune."
Li Xuan imparted the martial arts technique of refining the skin to Shi Er. As for the subsequent steps of refining the bones and organs, he would teach them after Shi Er could sense qi and blood and complete the skin refinement.
"Thank you, Master!"
Shi Er was overjoyed.
"Go and ponder upon it yourself. Find a room to stay in."
Li Xuan waved his hand.
Since Shi Er had become his follower, it was only natural for him to reside in the courtyard and take care of all the miscellaneous tasks.
"Yes!"
Shi Er respectfully withdrew.
In the capital of Qi Country, the arrival of Xu Yan once again made the Qi Emperor and his officials extremely cautious. It was as if a mountain was hanging over their heads, and this suffocating feeling only made them more determined to find a martial arts master.
Only by finding such an expert could they remove the mountain-like burden from their heads.
After imparting the martial arts techniques, Xu Yan did not immediately return to Donghe County. Instead, he temporarily stayed in the Qi Kingdom's royal palace.
"I'm about to break through to the perfection of the Qi and Blood Realm."
Xu Yan was exhilarated during his cultivation. He was just a step away from reaching perfection in the Qi and Blood Realm.
"I have almost comprehended the techniques of the Primal Spirit Realm, and I'm starting to grasp the key points. After achieving perfection in the Qi and Blood Realm, it won't be long before I can fully comprehend the techniques of the Primal Spirit Realm."
Once he achieved perfection in the Qi and Blood Realm, he would be one step closer to the second realm of martial arts, the Primal Spirit Realm.
Boom!
His Qi and blood surged and swelled, causing his Jade Bones to shine brilliantly. As his Qi and blood continued to refine and grow, he was now just a hair's breadth away from the majestic height of a hundred zhang.
At a certain moment, his Qi and blood seemed to cross a great divide, surging wildly and increasing in purity by a full three percent. A column of Qi and blood soared into the sky, reaching a height of a hundred zhang.
Boom!
Immediately after, the hundred zhang-tall column of Qi and blood transformed into a gigantic red dragon, soaring skyward.
Xu Yan's breakthrough caused quite a stir, startling Guo Rongshan and the others. They watched in awe as a hundred zhang-long dragon rose from Xu Yan's courtyard.
"Yan'er's strength has increased again?"
"Wonderful! This is fantastic!"
Guo Rongshan and his son were overjoyed.
Not far from the Prince Qi's mansion, the Qi Emperor stared in the direction of the mansion, feeling overwhelmed. Was Xu Yan showing off his might? No! Had his strength increased?
At that moment, the Qi Emperor felt a sense of urgency. He had to find a martial arts master as soon as possible!
In the Crown Prince's palace, the third prince excitedly instructed, "Quick, prepare gifts. I want to pay my respects to my esteemed teacher!"
The officials were stunned, and after giving their own good-for-nothing sons a good beating, they sent them out to search for masters.
The first prince could no longer sit still and left the capital that very day, personally embarking on a journey to find a master.
On this day, the capital of Qi Country was once again destined for unrest as another wave of master-seeking fervor swept through.
Meanwhile, Xu Yan, the instigator of all this, was immersed in the bliss of his breakthrough, reveling in the enhancement of his strength. Only after breaking through did he truly comprehend the magnitude of his master's power.
"When Master showed me the image of perfection in the Qi and Blood Realm, the overwhelming might and boundless Qi and blood were far superior to what I possess now!"
Xu Yan felt a twinge of shame. "I'm still too weak, even with the cultivation of Jade Bones; I still have a long way to go."
"Master's realm is unfathomable, but the image he showed me of perfection in the Qi and Blood Realm should be how he was when he achieved perfection in that realm. Looking at it this way, I still have a long way to go."
"No wonder Master kept telling me to be humble and not be arrogant. My strength is still not enough."
The more he thought about it, the more he felt the immensity of his master's power.
"Although I am not as strong as Master, I am definitely not weaker than the ancient geniuses, and perhaps even stronger. I shouldn't belittle myself!"
Xu Yan encouraged himself.
His master was too strong, like an insurmountable mountain. But as long as he held on to this belief, he would undoubtedly draw closer to his master's level, and perhaps one day, he might even reach a height equal to his master's!
Xu Yan calmed his Qi and blood and exhaled.
"Now that I've perfected my Qi and blood, the Precelestial Realm cultivation method is becoming clearer to me."
Xu Yan entered his room, sat cross-legged on the bed, and breathed out. His mind gradually became clear, entering a state of unity with the world around him.
Only the profound and abstruse insights began to emerge in his heart.
The Precelestial Realm cultivation method became increasingly clear, and it slowly seemed to connect like a thread.
How to open the Heavenly Bridge, how to refine Qi and blood into Precelestial true Qi, how to absorb the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, and how to create a Qi sea and dantian...
As the cultivation method became clearer, the scene of breaking through to the Precelestial Realm seemed to appear in his mind, along with the process of absorbing the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth.
"Open the Heavenly Bridge, sense the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, guide the spiritual Qi into the two Heavenly Bridges, and create a Qi sea and dantian..."
Xu Yan's face lit up with excitement.
The more he comprehended, the more complete his understanding of the Precelestial Realm became. The sequence of breakthroughs, the process of cultivation... they all emerged in his mind.
"I have finally understood the Precelestial Realm cultivation method. All that's left is to perfect my Qi and blood, and then I can begin my breakthrough to the Precelestial Realm!"
Xu Yan opened his eyes, his face filled with excitement.
