I Can See Your Combat Power

Chapter 749: Chapter 43: Some people, always dazzle your time

“The movement of Innate Qi is not through the mouth or nose but through the acupoints, which can be guided and merged with acquired Spiritual Energy. Only when the breath of acquired Spiritual Energy returns to its roots and stays within the acupoints can one precisely sense the Innate Qi within one’s body.”

“The Qi of heaven is vast and pervasive, originating from the invisible, while acquired Spiritual Energy has a tangible form and can be seen. It solidifies into a manifestation; Innate Qi is elusive and imperceptible, hidden without form, while the acquired has form and can be found. Perhaps, this is the key to the division law.”

“If you want to separate them, you need to first identify their roots. Innate Qi evolves before conception, and acquired Spiritual Energy ferments between heaven and earth. Innate Qi stems from the Kidney Water, and acquired Spiritual Energy comes from Heaven and Earth”.

“Therefore, the method of separating the Innate Qi of Pre-Heaven involves guiding the function of post-Heaven Spiritual Energy, expelling the Spiritual Energy belonging to heaven and earth from the body. When the post-heaven Spiritual Energy is exhausted through the mouth and nose, the Innate Qi, which can only wander within the acupoints, is naturally left in the body. You can then use special techniques to confine the Primary Qi within the acupoints. Later, when called upon, only the pure Innate Qi will remain, without mingling with Spiritual Energy”.

“Can this method resolve the difficulty of the mixture of Primary Qi and Spiritual Energy, achieving separation?”

The young man casually talked about the method of Innate Qi division, which has perplexed countless apothecaries at the Hundred Herbs Immortal Mansion. Although he spoke subtly, how could Wen Rulan not know that this method could not only separate Innate Qi but also work once and for all?

If a Grandmaster from the Holy Lands clarified this today, perhaps Wen Rulan would maintain composure, with only admiration left in her heart. But the one who slowly explained it was a young man, causing a hint of indescribable shyness in her eyes. At this moment, Tang Luo seemed to be radiant.

At this moment, Wen Rulan finally understood the saying that it is better not to meet too astonishing a person at a young age. After witnessing the vast and magnificent world, how could one still admire a small winding stream?

It’s just like pouring strong wine into a new cup. The rich aroma lingers, and no matter what kind of fine wine you pour into it afterward, it seems bland like water.

Luckily, the physician is over forty years old. If she were still a young girl and met such an amazing man without being able to be with him, the constant longing for him would become a lifelong obsession.

“How fortunate, how fortunate.”

The physician covered her mouth and chuckled lightly, leaving Tang Luo baffled.

“What, is there any problem with this method of separating the Primary Qi?”

“Of course there isn’t. But the Martial Arts Competition has already started. Didn’t you want to participate in the competition on the main peak, after spending all night here?”

“What the physician said makes sense. I will entrust my junior brother’s injury to you.”

“The young master has given the method of separating Innate Qi, benefiting millions of people. I am deeply grateful and will do my utmost to cure your junior brother’s injury.”

“Please.”

When Tang Luo arrived at the main peak platform of Bifang Mountain, the intense fighting spirit spread over the ninety-eight fighting stages. Those from affluent families who did not participate yesterday now went all out and started their own battles for points.

This allowed Tang Luo to clearly see the profound foundations accumulated over a thousand years by the other noble families of Longzhou.

For those from the Longxi lineage, perhaps only Xiao Ziyu could overshadow the top-ranked sons of several major families. Li Xuanba and Cui Haoran lagged far behind.

But what Tang Luo didn’t know was, in the eyes of others, he was the biggest dark horse of this Martial Arts Competition. The betting shop run by Cao Changqing, an Inner Sect Disciple of the Beast Taming Sect, had already placed Tang Luo at the top of the list, driving his odds to the lowest and surpassing the top-ranked sons from various families.

The focus of all stage holders and challengers has not shifted away from Tang Luo since he appeared on the Bifang Mountain platform, paying close attention to his movements.

Tang Luo could naturally feel these gazes, but he didn’t care, as he was captivated by the battle on stage twenty-seven.

The stage holder is a rare Bloodline Warrior with dragon lineage. When the power of his blood is activated, a horn grows on his forehead, his entire body is covered by dragon scales, and a robust dragon tail grows at the base of his spine.

Bloodline Warriors gain dragon power when their bloodline activates, with sounds of wind and thunder echoing in their punches and kicks. Dragon scales are incredibly robust, immune to weapons and almost indestructible.

In terms of physical strength, there’s no question that the stage holder of stage twenty-seven is the top amongst all the holders on Bifang Mountain, coupled with his formidable martial arts skills.

If nothing unexpected occurs, he should be the number one amongst the outer sect disciples on Martial Saint Mountain. After all, at the Mortal Realm stage, it’s difficult to break this man’s dragon scale protection.

Normally, such an exceptionally talented warrior, when facing warriors of the same realm, even if he cannot easily crush them, he can defeat them swiftly. However, he has fallen into a fierce competition on the platform, and his opponent surprisingly is a person of unknown origin.

Out of tremendous curiosity, Tang Luo asked a young man next to him, “Do you know which family the challenger on the stage comes from and why his Hidden Strength is so superb?”

“It seems…” The young man who turned around was first impatient, but seeing that the questioner was Tang Luo, he startled, changed his tone, and said with a full smile: “The challenger on the stage is Xiang Loulan, the son of the Xiang Family from Chaochang, and his Hidden Strength assimilated the essence of heaven and earth. His light Qi force can control the power of a mighty opponent. It seems that Bu Lin, who only knows brute force, has met his match.”

So it is, Tang Luo suddenly thought. He focused on this stage because the battle style of the dragon’s bloodline warrior on the stage was very similar to his own, both emphasizing strength over skill, and they were at a disadvantage when facing rivals that specialized in Hidden Strength. A family who could cultivate such outstanding warriors must be famous in their own right. However, no matter how he searched his memory, he could not recall any records about the Xiang Family in the records of the Longzhou travelogues. He couldn’t help but ask again, “Thank you for your explanation. But what’s the background of the Xiang Family from Chaochang? It’s been just over ten years since the Yun Clan was destroyed in Chaochang. Has another prominent family risen?”

The young man said “Ha” and explained, “Young Master Tang, you probably don’t know. The Xiang Family was originally a close relative of the Longzhou noble Yun Clan in Chaochang. Over a decade ago, when the Yun Clan suffered a catastrophe, it was the Xiang Family who took control of Chaochang and straightened things out. They brought back all the collateral and external disciples of the Yun Clan to reform the Cloud Council. They even found the Yun Family’s eldest daughter, Yun Xiu, who had luckily escaped and had been wandering outside, and invited her back as the city lord, showing their loyalty. Touched by the Xiang Family’s kindness, Yun Xiu shared all the hidden treasure houses of the Yun Family with them and gave herself in marriage to the eldest son of the Xiang Family.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

With his face full of envy, the young man pointed to the stage and said, “That’s Xiang Loulan who has married Yun Xiu, who still bore her youthful bloom. You should know, the Yun Clan of Chaochang used to be a long-established noble family. Going hundreds of years back, they were top-notch gentry that boasted several Grandmasters, not falling short of ordinary sects. Just because the Yun Clan’s line indulged in commerce and neglected martial arts, they suffered such a great change. Even a thin camel is bigger than a horse. After the Xiang Family obtained the Yun Clan’s heritage, they have been invited to participate in the Martial Arts Competition for three consecutive sessions and have almost restored the prestige of the Yun Clan’s heyday. They are quite remarkable and are considered the eighth largest family in Longzhou.”
