My Two-sided Cultivation: Starting From Collecting Experiences

Chapter 21

One Step at the Door, the Strongest Cultivation Technique?

“Ding! You have collected a [Breath Control Essence (Green) ], [Breath Control] Experience +52!”

“Ding! You have collected a [Breath Control Essence (Green) ], [Breath Control] Experience +47!”

“Ding! You have collected a [Breath Control Essence (Green) ], [Breath Control] Experience +77!”

Qin Huai walked into the Changshan Dojo and collected all of today’s experience points. Only then did he return to his own small room and set up the bed, pot, and bowls that Yu Xin had prepared for him.

The color of the bedding was red, full of all kinds of flower embroidery. Qin Huai was stunned, and he could not help but laugh. In his previous life, his own set of bedding was the same, and his parents seemed to be using his grandparents’, which was also a little similar.

He focused his mind and looked at his personal panel.

Name: Qin Huai

[Cultivation Methods ]: [Breathing technique (level 9, 1236/2000) ], [Qi-nurturing technique (level 50, 7/1000) ], [Breath Control technique (level 10, 501/1000) ],[Thunderflash skill (level 0,100/1000)]

[Skills]: [Alchemy (advanced, 571/1600) ], [Forging (intermediate, 73/400)]

[Stage: Level 2 Blood Refinement]

“What a pity. Just a little bit more.” Qin Huai looked at his experience bar, which was only slightly more than 700 points away, and felt a little regretful.

He had thought that he would be able to reach level 10 breathing technique by today, but he did not expect that the experience bar for breaking through would double.

“It seems that as the level of the air circulation technique increases, the experience bar will also increase. It’s roughly calculated by the 20th to 30th levels, the nodes of the Qi and blood transformation,” Qin Huai muttered to himself.

The reason why the cultivation technique had stopped at level 10 was probably because normal people could only cultivate it to the first refinement. His was purely an accident.

Not long after they had packed up their things, the dojo had people gather them at a drill ground. Other than Qin Huai and the other ten apprentices who had joined through the trial, there was also a group of young faces.

All of the youths were about the same age as Qin Huai, but their faces were ruddy and full of energy. His eyes were bright, and his lips were red. It was a sign of exuberant Qi and blood.

These should be the apprentices who had just joined the dojo.

“It seems they all have extraordinary backgrounds.” Sun Ziyao clicked his tongue. “These guys haven’t even cultivated to a high realm, but their Qi and blood are already so full. I wonder how rich their families are to have fed them so much Qi and blood soup. The gap between people is really big.”

Qin Huai couldn’t help but agree. Before he started cultivating, he had always been a malnourished, short, and dark-skinned boy. It wasn’t until he started practicing martial arts that his condition improved.

Now, he was already a first refinement warrior. It was time for his face to be ruddy, full of energy, and to look human.

And these young apprentices seemed to be from a different world from what he knew.

Qin Huai and the others weren’t proper dojo disciples. Most of them were born in poverty and had gone through many twists and turns to reach where they were today.

The first meeting was cold and distant, but with these well-dressed apprentices in front of them, the relationship between the ten people instantly became closer.

Qin Huai immediately recognized the person standing at the forefront of the drill ground. ‘It’s Senior Brother Fang Han who I met the other day. So he’s actually an instructor.’

Qin Huai had a deep impression of this person, even though he had only pulled him down from the wall that day. However, he could still feel the terrifying Qi and blood of the other party. Even in the Changshan Dojo, he should be an important figure.

Fang Han gave a simple self-introduction and began to explain. “The people of Pingnan City all say that our Changshan Dojo’s breathing technique is the last of the eight centers. It’s not as domineering as the rumbling thunder skill and not as strong as the six directions skill.

“But in fact, the breathing technique is both offensive and defensive, and it has a long history. You’ll cultivate a white dragon, which can attack and kill people from a distance. It can even create waves of air around the body to defend, and in turn, extend one’s life.

“It doesn’t have a high requirement for one’s root bone. It’s the most powerful technique among the eight!”

“Then why do I hear that our Changshan Dojo’s martial artists of the same realm are rarely a match for other dojos?” a chubby boy in the first row piped up.

“Because they haven’t reached home in their cultivation! The breathing technique’s level is too low!” Fang Han said with confidence. “When you reach level 10 breathing technique, your body will nurture a white dragon formed from Qi that can both attack and defend.

“From now on, one will be added for every ten levels. As the number of white dragons increases, the combat power of the martial artists who cultivate the Qi circulation technique will also increase.

“Starting from the four white dragons, the breathing technique can be on par with any dojo’s martial arts. Its attack is no weaker than the thunderflash skill, and its defense is comparable to the six directions skill.

“Five white dragons, one for each of the same realm. With six white dragons, no one in the same realm in Pingnan City can defeat them!” Fang Han’s voice grew louder as the number of white dragons increased.

The apprentices’ eyes glowed as they listened to Fang Han.

Qin Huai listened to Fang Han’s words thoughtfully. His Qi-nurturing technique had already nurtured a white dragon, and he would have to wait until he reached level 10. Would the white dragon from the Qi cultivation technique disappear, or would he have two white dragons?

“Come, I’ll get someone to demonstrate to you.” Fang Han rolled up his sleeves and glanced at the crowd. “Has Qin Huai arrived yet?”

“I’m here!” Qin Huai walked out quickly.

“Oh?” Fang Han’s eyes lit up when he saw Qin Huai. ‘What a coincidence, so it was this kid.’

“Qin Huai? The name sounds familiar.”

“I think he’s the one from the Slaughter Gang a few days ago.”

“Yes, yes, yes, that’s him. I heard he went to the Thunderbolt Dojo first to participate in the test and was rejected.”

“Why? He’s a hero, right?”

“It’s because of his poor root bone! He’s even worse than ordinary people.”

A group of apprentices whispered among themselves, pointing at Qin Huai, who was walking past them.

“Then how did he get into our Changshan Dojo?”

“Who knows?”

Qin Huai’s steps were steady, as if he had not heard anything.

Fang Han smiled. “Qin Huai once cultivated a technique with an extremely high level, and this technique is of the same origin as the longevity art of Changshan Dojo. That’s why Qin Huai’s cultivation is faster than all of you here. That’s why you don’t doubt your own talent and affect your Dao heart.”

“So that’s how it is!” The apprentices immediately understood.

“No wonder he was able to enter.”

“I’m sure he got in through connections.”

Fang Han smiled and did not care about the noisy crowd in front of him. “Next, Qin Huai and I will show you the power of the breathing technique.”

Fang Han then looked at Qin Huai and said, “Attack me with all your might.”

Qin Huai nodded. He instantly urged the white dragon in his body to break out.

It was a windless courtyard, but Qin Huai’s long robe fluttered in the wind, and his hair was raised.

Fang Han was not far off either, and the two exchanged blows in front of many apprentices. The sound of the drum being blown could be heard, but their legs had never touched.

After witnessing that astonishing force, Sun Ziyao and the others were dumbfounded.

Qin Huai had no intention of being ostentatious, so his attack was reserved. As for Fang Han, he only made a few casual moves, and the two men retreated.

“His breathing is long. Has he made some progress in his cultivation of the breathing technique?” Fang Han was surprised.

A long breath was one of the characteristics of the initial stage of the breathing technique. As for the specific level, he really didn’t know. Only when the white dragon was raised to level 10 would there be a transformation.

“It seems you’re beyond level 1. With the foundation of the Qi cultivation technique, it was no surprise that you’ve cultivated faster.”

“You have a good eye, Instructor Fang,” Qin Huai replied.

“Look, as you can see, Qin Huai has only been looking at the cultivation technique for a day or two. I think he has already reached level 2 breathing technique.” Fang Han looked at the crowd. “So don’t be impetuous just because Qin Huai’s cultivation progress is a little faster than yours. Do you understand?!”

“Understood!” the apprentices responded.

“Alright, let’s start the training. All those who were whispering and gossiping about Qin Huai just now will have an additional four hours of training!” Fang Han suddenly changed the topic.

“Ah?” the apprentices immediately wailed.

“Don’t test my patience, or I’ll add an additional eight hours of training! I’m telling you, fellow disciples should help each other! We’ll support each other! I don’t care what others think. As long as they are my students, if you attack your fellow disciples or slander them in private…I’ll personally cripple you! Do you understand?” Fang Han’s fiendish look instantly made the atmosphere on the drill ground depressed.

The crowd took a long time to come back to their senses and quickly agreed.

“Understood!”
