Cultivating Immortality: I Have a High-Martial World

Chapter 15 Guiding Qi into the Body, Inspiration!

When Lin Chen came to his senses, he returned to Danfeng's room at Changchun Sect.

Although it wasn't his first time experiencing something like this, he still found it very strange.

Lin Chen put down the table and chairs he was holding and looked around; the room was empty.

"So, they didn't manage to travel through time together after all?"

Although he had expected it, a hint of disappointment still lingered in his eyes...

In the world of cultivation, he felt a sense of loneliness, a feeling of fighting alone.

After hiding his equipment and weapons in the room, Lin Chen leaned against the bed and took a short nap.

He only slept for two or three hours, but the martial artist recovered his energy very quickly.

As dawn broke, Han Jihai's voice could be heard from outside.

"Xiao Chen, are you awake?"

"Here you are, Master!"

After quickly washing up, Lin Chen pushed open the door.

Outside, Han Jihai was carrying a breakfast he had made himself.

A bowl of white porridge made from spirit rice, with a few pickled spirit vegetables.

There were also two spirit eggs to nourish Lin Chen's body.

Children are growing rapidly, how can they not get proper nutrition?

"Eat breakfast first, then come to my room at noon. I will teach you the method of guiding qi into your body."

Han Jihai said with a smile.

"Yes, Master!"

Lin Chen eagerly accepted the spiritual food and began to devour it.

What the hell have I been eating all this time on Earth?

Although my aunt's cooking is also very delicious...

But without spiritual food, martial arts progress is as slow as a tortoise crawling!

Lin Chen thought to himself that after experiencing the benefits of spiritual food, he really couldn't live without it.

After finishing the spiritual food, Lin Chen vaguely felt an undigested energy within his body.

This energy is far more abundant than that of nutrient solution, and it is also much gentler.

There was still some time before noon, so Lin Chen did not hesitate and sat cross-legged to practice his breathing technique.

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye, and the sun gradually rose higher, nearing noon.

After Lin Chen finished practicing the breathing technique, he glanced at the Qi and Blood value on his wristwatch—11.5!

Two short hours is equivalent to three days of arduous training on Earth!

For martial artists at lower levels, the increase in strength resulting from the improvement of their Qi and Blood value is very significant.

Lin Chen could feel that his strength and physical fitness had increased slightly.

He was somewhat obsessed with the feeling of his strength increasing.

I glanced at the time; it was almost noon.

So Lin Chen knocked on his master Han Jihai's door.

"Come in..." came Han Jihai's voice from inside the house.

Lin Chen pushed open the door and entered, looking around Han Jihai's residence.

It was larger than Lin Chen's residence, and in addition to the bedroom in the inner room, there was also a training room.

However, the room's furnishings remained simple and tidy, just like Danfeng's consistent style.

Han Jihai pointed to the cushion on the wooden floor and said:

"Our Danfeng has poor conditions and cannot compare with other major peaks. There are only a handful of disciples on Danfeng."

"When it's necessary to impart skills and techniques, it usually happens in my training room..."

Lin Chen nodded slightly after hearing this. Cultivation is not about whether the surrounding environment is simple or not, but about the level of the person who teaches it.

Han Jihai took out an ancient book and handed it over, saying:

"This is the Qi-inducing method of our Changchun Sect, and it is also the most commonly used Qi-inducing method in the Xuanhuang Continent."

"Take a look through your memories first, and I'll see how quick you are to understand..."

Lin Chen took the cultivation manual and saw that the ancient book was titled "Xuanhuang Qi-Guiding Technique". It was only a few thin pages long and seemed to be a special method for guiding qi.

After looking through it, Lin Chen found that he recognized all the words on it.

However, the words are profound, obscure, and difficult to remember.

Lin Chen has always had a good memory; otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten full marks in his academic subjects back on Earth.

Lin Chen memorized the mere thousand-odd words in about half an hour.

Closing the ancient book, Lin Chen said to Han Jihai:

"Master, I've written it all down."

"Oh, so fast?" A strange look flashed across Han Jihai's face.

"In that case, what is the next line after 'Heaven and Earth Profound Sect'?"

Han Jihai randomly picked a phrase from the Qi-inducing formula and tested it.

"The profound origin of heaven and earth, the root of all vital energy."

Lin Chen answered without hesitation.

"But should we avoid a short and succinct next sentence?" Han Jihai asked again.

"But avoid short and thick ones, and keep your hands clasped together." Lin Chen answered quickly.

Han Jihai asked seven or eight questions in a row, and when he saw that Lin Chen answered quickly and accurately, he was even more surprised.

"Xiao Chen, your comprehension is remarkable... the best among all your fellow disciples!"

"Since that's the case, I will now formally impart to you the essence of the mantra..."

As he spoke, Han Jihai, with his five hearts facing the sky, slowly opened his mouth and said:

"Breathe slowly, pay attention...feel the free-flowing energy between heaven and earth."

"That energy is spiritual energy..."

"The five elements have different spiritual energies; fire energy is fierce, metal energy is sharp..."

"Water's spiritual energy is gentle, earth's spiritual energy is profound... as for wood's spiritual energy, it is enduring."

After a pause, Han Jihai continued:

"We, the disciples of Danfeng, are best suited to sense wood-based spiritual energy... I have both wood and fire spiritual roots, while you have both earth and wood spiritual roots. In the early stages of your cultivation, you can focus on breathing in and out wood-based spiritual energy..."

Han Jihai spoke slowly, but his words carried a sense of warmth and approachability.

This allowed Lin Chen to unconsciously calm down and carefully experience the mysteries of spiritual energy.

With his constant guidance, after about half an hour, Lin Chen gradually sensed the presence of spiritual energy.

Lin Chen could sense the five elements of spiritual energy in the air, two of which were particularly prominent.

It is a rich earth spirit and a long-lasting wood spirit!

Lin Chen's state of sensing spiritual energy is called inspiration.

As the name suggests, it is a symbol of sensing spiritual energy and officially embarking on the path of cultivation!

Lin Chen tried to introduce wood elemental energy into his body, but he couldn't get the hang of it.

After trying for a long time, Lin Chen reluctantly opened his eyes.

Han Jihai noticed Lin Chen's unusual behavior and said:

"Little Chen, it's indeed a bit difficult to sense spiritual energy for the first time... You need to calm down and carefully feel it..."

After listening, Lin Chen thought for a moment and said:

"Um, Master, I think I can sense the spiritual energy you mentioned..."

"But how do I absorb this spiritual energy into my body?"

Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Han Jihai subconsciously replied:

"Incorporating spiritual energy requires..."

He paused halfway through his sentence, then asked in confusion, "Wait... you sensed spiritual energy?"

"Yes, Master."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Han Jihai looked up at the sky and said uncertainly:

"From the moment you began to sense spiritual energy to the moment you truly sensed it... it only took you an hour?"

Lin Chen wanted to say that he had only spent half an hour, but seeing Han Jihai's shocked expression, he decided to take good care of his master's heart.

So he nodded and said, "Yes..."

Han Jihai paused for a moment, quickly composed himself, and said calmly:

"Hmm, not bad... An hour isn't slow, only a little slower than when I was a student."

"Your aptitude is quite good!"

Having said that, fearing that Lin Chen would become arrogant and complacent, he added:

"However, you must not be arrogant; sensing spiritual energy is only the first step."

"The next step, guiding the Qi into the body, is the key... Compared to inspiration, guiding the Qi into the body is much more difficult..."

"A cultivator with dual spiritual roots who can draw qi into their body and enter the Qi Refining stage within a month is already considered excellent... Even a cultivator with true spiritual roots needs a week."

"Next, I will teach you the mental technique for guiding Qi into your body..."

After teaching Lin Chen for another half an hour, Han Jihai prepared to send Lin Chen away.

"Well, you should go back to your room and cultivate for now. If you can draw in Qi and enter the Qi Refining stage within half a month, in addition to the sect's reward, I will also give you a reward."

"You possess top-tier dual spiritual roots. With diligent cultivation, it shouldn't be difficult within half a month..."

"Yes, Master!"

Lin Chen stood up, bowed, and then turned to leave.

After Lin Chen left, Han Jihai opened his eyes, no longer as calm as before.

"After an hour, I sensed spiritual energy... Could it be that Chen'er is a Core Formation cultivator reincarnated and starting over?"

Han Jihai clearly remembers that one night two hundred years ago, after spending three days and three nights sensing spiritual energy, he was so excited that he didn't sleep a wink.

Thinking of this, his eyes actually became a little moist.

"Heaven has eyes! I've finally found a decent disciple..."

"The Danfeng lineage... has a worthy successor!"
