Chapter 7 Qingping
Chapter 7 Qingping
"With feet firmly planted on the ground, the spine straightens and energy naturally arises."
"Knees like rocks, waist like a bow, focus your mind on the dantian and let the Qi flow freely."
That night.
The moon and stars are rare.
After Ye Yin fell into a deep sleep, Ning Xiuyang left the room alone and went to the courtyard to practice martial arts.
Tiger Intent Mountain Strength is a powerful and swift boxing style that emphasizes striking first and leaving no room for retreat.
The above records seven techniques. The first technique is the Tiger Crouching Stance, which is also the starting defensive stance. When combined with internal breathing exercises, it can withstand the pressure of a thousand pounds when mastered. The second technique is White Tiger Descending the Mountain, a sudden attack like a tiger's roar breaking through the air. The third technique is Tiger Step Shaking the Abyss, at the minor mastery level, a tiger leap can reach a distance of three zhang. The fourth technique is Mountain Lord Swinging its Tail, a leg technique that can sweep away a piece of wood as thick as a bowl. The fifth technique is Mountain Lord Turning its Head, a twisting and explosive counterattack with the waist and back. The sixth technique is Mountain Lord Carrying a Stele, where the four points of power—shoulders, back, waist, and hips—can withstand the force of a thousand pounds. The seventh technique is Tiger Spine Crashing the Mountain, using the shoulders and back to crush the enemy, like a mountain pressing down.
There are also external martial arts training methods and internal cultivation methods, which require the practice of techniques and internal and external cultivation in combination, and may even require medicinal baths and body-strengthening soups.
Its three external training methods are: tiger skin training to improve physical strength, tiger claw training to improve finger strength, and tiger step training to improve body movement.
The internal cultivation method also aims to enhance physical strength, which involves nourishing the bones with the power of qi and blood to develop tiger bones and tiger tendons.
In short, this is the most suitable cultivation method for the Body Tempering and Blood Nourishing Realm.
The Tiger Crouching Posture in Zhuang Gong resembles a fierce tiger standing upright, causing the body's Qi and blood to surge.
After finishing his stance training, taking advantage of his vigorous energy, he practiced the moves again. Although it was just a poor imitation and somewhat awkward, he still improved his proficiency after practicing it seriously.

Practicing this internal skill greatly depletes one's qi and blood. After just one round of practice, Ning Xiuyang felt as if a layer of his already limited qi and blood had been drained away.
Fortunately, the meal we just had was very nutritious.
Ning Xiuyang did not continue practicing, worried that his qi and blood would be damaged. He would have Ye Yin take some medicinal baths to replenish her qi and blood after she woke up the next day.
Back in his room, Ning Xiuyang lay down next to Ye Yin, feeling a mix of emotions. Just a day ago, he had been a lowly horse-raising slave, his life as insignificant as grass, utterly worthless.
A day later, the noble Miss Ye was nothing more than another steed she had raised.
They're even easier to please than Bai Nilong.
As consciousness sank into his mind, the dim light still lingered, and the words "Refining" remained. He didn't know how long it would take to refine, or what this inner demon would refine into.
Filled with anticipation, Ning Xiuyang embraced Ye Yin's soft body.
"Ugh~ You bastard, I... I'm going to kill you..."
Ye Yin, in her sleep, suddenly began to mutter in her sleep.
Ning Xiuyang twitched the corner of his mouth, then closed his eyes.
The next morning, Ning Xiuyang asked Ye Yin to prepare a medicinal bath and nourishing food for him.
Despite her anger, after being reprimanded by Ning Xiuyang, she obediently instructed people to prepare medicine and food.
However, regardless of whether they are disciples of the Divine Sword Manor or members of the Ye family, all cultivation resources are allocated according to their cultivation level and status. Ye Yin already had not enough resources in the past, and now she has to give a portion of her share to Ning Xiuyang, which makes her cultivation resources even more scarce!
After eating, Ning Xiuyang devoted the entire day to practicing martial arts.
[Tiger's Spirit Bears the Strength of a Mountain]: Not yet a beginner (7/10)
He only started taking a medicinal bath in the evening to dispel the fatigue of the day and replenish his depleted energy. With his efforts, he only needed three more baths to completely master the technique.
While comfortably soaking in the medicinal bath, Ning Xiuyang's consciousness sank into the treasure mirror in his mind.
When he saw that the specks on the dark ball of light in the treasure mirror had disappeared and the words "Refining in progress" had been replaced by "Extractable", his eyes lit up.
With a thought, the ball of light vanished.
Instantly, a powerful energy overflowed from the treasure mirror, spreading throughout his body. Ning Xiuyang felt his whole body burning hot, and even the bathwater seemed to be steaming. Warm currents washed over his flesh, tendons, and bones.
"hiss……"
Ning Xiuyang clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and closed his eyes to endure the cleansing force.
In a flash of inspiration, he understood that the mixed energy within the inner demon light cluster was being refined by the treasure mirror and was feeding back to him, thus enhancing his physical cultivation.
And that's not all.
After fully experiencing the cleansing power of this energy, with a thought, a palm-sized booklet appeared in my palm.
"This is……"
Ning Xiuyang immediately began to read it.
It turned out to be the Qingping Sword Technique, a secret technique kept by the Ye family and only a very few core disciples and members of the main branch of the Ye family were qualified to practice.
As the inner demon belonging to Ye Yin in the Sea of Consciousness Treasure Mirror completely disappeared after being refined, a completely new memory about swordsmanship, which did not belong to him, instantly merged into his own memory.
at the same time.
Two lines of writing appeared in the treasure mirror.
[Cultivation Level]: Body Tempering Realm 0.1
[Qingping Sword Technique]: Penetration - Rising with the Wind (0/600)
The mixed energy, after being refined, nourished him and directly raised his cultivation level to the Body Tempering Realm!
His memories of the Qingping Sword Technique were incredibly vivid, as if he had diligently practiced it from beginning to end. The sword intent and moves were already deeply ingrained in his mind, as natural as his own limbs.
I never imagined it would have such an effect.
Ning Xiuyang was overjoyed.
In her memory, Ye Yin had already mastered the Qingping Sword Technique and was about to break through to the next level.
The inner demon refined by the Myriad Manifestations Mirror can not only improve one's cultivation level, but also perfectly inherit the memories and techniques she has cultivated, even if it is one level lower.
magical!
Amazing!
This is simply the perfect trump card for me to survive in this world and even take revenge!
Ning Xiuyang destroyed the Qingping Sword Technique manual that had formed in his palm, and then stroked the antique bronze mirror that still remained on his neck.
He had specifically tested it today, and even if the bronze mirror left him, the "Myriad Images Mirror" in his sea of consciousness would still exist and could not be separated.
After soaking in the medicinal bath for half an hour, Ning Xiuyang felt his blood and energy recover rapidly, and a warm current flowed through his body, which should be the medicinal power of the bath taking effect.
He immediately found a sword and began practicing the Qingping Sword Technique outside the courtyard.
The Divine Sword Manor is famous for its swords, so naturally, there are precious swords everywhere in the manor.
Legend has it that the Qingping Sword Technique was learned by the Ye family ancestor from the Great Chu Dao Court. It contains a trace of Daoist truth. If one can master it to the highest level, combined with the cultivator's own cultivation, the sword energy can reach dozens of feet.
It was precisely by relying on this sword technique that the Ye family established itself in Jinshui County and grew to its current size.
Unexpectedly, I was able to learn such a sword technique.
The Qingping Sword Technique has five realms. The first realm is "Duckweed Appears," where sword energy, like dew on duckweed, adheres to the sword and enhances its sharpness. The second realm is "Riding the Wind," where sword energy leaves the body and changes its trajectory with the help of the wind. The third realm is "Hundred Duckweeds Transform into Qi," a defensive move where sword energy condenses into a substantial Qingping Qi sword array; those who master it can condense over a thousand swords. The fourth realm is "One Leaf Knows Autumn," where the sword energy of a single duckweed leaf contains the power of depletion. The fifth realm is "Qingping Travels the Heavens," where the sword intent contains the laws of nature, and the sword strike can resonate with the phenomena of heaven and earth!
From the time of their ancestors to the present, no one in the Ye family has ever been able to cultivate the Qingping Sword Technique to the fifth level. In history, only that ancestor who became a disciple of the Great Chu Dao Court was able to cultivate it to the fourth level, turning a leaf into a sword, which contained the power of depletion. With a casual throw, he could kill the enemy invisibly.
Ye Yin's Qingping Sword Technique should have reached the third realm, Hundreds of Duckweed Transform into Qi.
As for whether there are any people more powerful than her, Ning Xiuyang doesn't know yet.
This sword technique has countless variations in its refined moves, with common moves including "Duckweed Skimming Water," "Fleeting Light and Shadow," "Lotus Moving in All Directions," "Listening to Rain on Withered Lotus," and "Nine Layers of Waves."
There are also powerful charged moves: Wanping Returns to its Origin and Qingping End - Fury of the Vast Sea!
Sensing the subtle wind direction, Ning Xiuyang unleashed the "Green Water Touch" move, the sword shadow rippling in the night, its power terrifying.
[Qingping Sword Technique]: Penetration - Rising with the Wind (1/600)
But Ning Xiuyang was still somewhat dissatisfied.
He had only recently achieved physical training, and even though his Qingping Sword Technique had reached the second stage of "Riding the Wind," he still couldn't make the sword energy leave his body and move with the wind.
If there is no air inside the body, how can it leave the body?
It seems that what we need most right now is to speed up our cultivation!
To improve one's cultivation level, one needs to practice stance training to nourish one's Qi and blood, and external forces to temper the physical body!
Immediately, he calmed down and began to practice the "Tiger's Intent Bearing the Mountain Strength".
