Becoming a Sage Starts From Condensing the Essence of Time

Chapter 12: As Strong as One-Tenth of Miss Zhuifeng



Chapter 12: As Strong as One-Tenth of Miss Zhuifeng

Flipping open the yellowed book, there seemed to be a breeze.

"Use the form of the five animals to forge the True Spirit Bone."

In a simple sentence, it covered the true meaning of the Five Animals Body Tempering.

Continuing to flip through the book, An Le began to browse through it roughly. Not only were there written records in the book, but there were also drawings regarding the forms.

The Five Animals Body Tempering Technique was divided into five parts: Tiger, Deer, Bear, Ape, and Bird. The intent of the five animals was divided into different forms. There were a total of 54 forms, 13 Tiger forms, 9 Deer forms, 9 Bear forms, 10 Ape forms, and 13 Bird forms.

There was an introduction in the accompanying picture. In addition, there were also cultivation techniques that resonated and countered each other.

After looking at the entire picture, every page's accompanying picture was vividly displaying the animal's form and divine intent.

He returned to the first page and began to flip through it. His martial arts foundation was almost zero, so he naturally had to start from scratch.

The first realm of Body Tempering was Qi Blood Awakening.

The blood in the human body circulated all the time. It was the foundation of mankind. The circulation of the blood was driven by an unknown force. This force was the treasure of the human body.

Body Tempering Qi Blood Refinement was to increase the power of this Qi, allowing one to have supreme strength that could split mountains and rocks, block rivers, and break seas!

An Le was mesmerized. The Spirit Refinement Technique and the Body Tempering Technique were completely different paths, but there was a reason for both of them to be cultivated at the same time. The mental power could naturally push the circulation of Qi Blood, making it easier to activate Qi Blood Awakening.

However, in fact, most cultivators sensed the circulation of Qi Blood after starting their Qi Blood Awakening to temper their minds and enter Meditation.

People called it the Internal Meditation Technique. It was also a more orthodox method to cultivate Spirit Refinement and Body Tempering at the same time.

Of course, An Le had already successfully entered Meditation, so he did not need to take the path of the Internal Meditation Technique. Instead, he needed to use the mental power to reverse trigger the Qi Blood Awakening!

"The tiger's four limbs are pressed on the ground. The first three pounces extend the long waist, launch a sideway kick to the sky, and return the same way. From the front, throw seven punches each…"

An Le studied the annotations and referenced the drawings on the other side.

This was because An Le's [Cultivation Genius] Dao Fruit had been enhanced with three wisps of Age Qi. Now, An Le's comprehension ability had improved significantly. Even without the additional enhancement of the [Sword Dancer], it was not difficult for An Le to comprehend.

After studying it, An Le remembered it in his heart and began to practice the Tiger Form of the Five Animals Body Tempering Technique in the room.

He lowered his body like a ferocious tiger and landed on all fours. He corrected his posture bit by bit according to the movements in the pattern, making every posture extremely standard.

An Le practiced the Thirteen Tiger Forms one by one. Under the enhancement of the Cultivation Genius Dao Fruit, his mind was very clear. Coupled with the weak sense of mental power produced by Meditation, he had a fine adjustment and control over the degree of relaxation of his muscles and the amount of twisting of his arms.

He could even accurately control the bending of his ten fingers!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…

As An Le practiced the Tiger Form, he exhaled and inhaled rhythmically. It was similar to breathing exercises, but it was different from the basic breathing exercises bought from the bookstore. It felt like the breathing of a tiger.

As for his muscles, skin, bones, and other muscles, under the stretching of his movements, there were different degrees of soreness and pain.

Soon, he was drenched in sweat, soaking his clothes.

An Le panted heavily. Just as he finished practicing the Thirteen Tiger Forms, he felt the blood flow in his body intensify. It was as if qi had risen in his body, pushing his blood to circulate!

The room was too narrow. An Le continued to practice the Tiger Form tirelessly, supplemented by the mental power to correct the wrong movements.

Unknowingly, the night had become so dark that five fingers could not be seen.

However, in the room, An Le was panting heavily. His eyes were as bright as the moon.

After countless times of practice, An Le felt an obvious qi current rising in his body, his mind could even control this qi current, pushing his blood to circulate rapidly, giving birth to strength!

"When Qi is born, blood will move!"

"First realm of Body Tempering, Qi Blood Awakening, success!"

In the darkness, An Le chuckled happily. Feeling the powerful strength surging out of his body, An Le felt that he could fight one-tenth of Miss Zhuifeng!

With the enhancement of the Dao Fruit, An Le felt that cultivation was not difficult anymore.

He lit the lamp.

The room lit up. An Le moved the table and chairs back to their original place and frowned. "The room is too small. I can't use it properly when practicing. I have to change to a bigger residence."

"After I return from painting at the Lin Residence tomorrow, I'll go to the brokerage to find a bigger courtyard."

An Le got up, fetched some water, took a shower, and washed away his fatigue. He sat cross-legged on the bed, but he did not choose to sleep. Instead, he took out a book, held the lamp, and began to read.

Cultivation was indeed important, but the Imperial Examination was also the most important. It was the key to whether An Le could reach the top.

If one wanted to enter List A and become a scholar, studying was indispensable. One had to be diligent and focused. If one did not answer enough questions and failed, it would be too regretful.

The night was dark and the candlelight was faint.

The young man recited the sound of reading, accompanied by the silent night, circling the beam endlessly.

...

...

The next day.

An Le took a nap for two hours before getting up. He practiced the Thirteen Tiger Forms a few times in the small room. His body was sweating, and after he regained his strength, he tidied up briefly and changed into green clothes before leaving.

On a new day, An Le felt refreshed and could begin to absorb the Age Qi again. He could not wait.

Amidst the greetings of the waiter and the shopkeeper, An Le left the inn.

It was drizzling today. The weather in spring had always been like this, but the spring rain was like oil. It was quite comfortable.

Holding the oil-paper umbrella given by the shopkeeper, An Le strolled along the long street. The long street of Lin'an Prefecture was extremely lively. Even the spring rain could not dampen the enthusiasm of pedestrians shopping.

He stepped on the limestone path and arrived at the shore of West Lake.

The distant mountain's surface was filled with lush greenery, and there was a pearl in the center of the moon.

Under the spring rain, the West Lake was even more lively. The rain was even more poetic. The scholars and calligraphers held oil paper umbrellas and strolled by the embankment. They were either reciting poems or admiring the scenery. They looked at the flower boats that were singing day and night in the lake with fervent anticipation in their eyes. They were looking forward to seeing the beautiful figures in the flower boats.

An Le followed the flow of people and could naturally be categorized as a scholar.

On the West Lake side, he was very familiar with it and found his old spot. In fact, he could choose to go to the Lake Gazing Building. In the past, he did not have money. Now that he had ten Origin Spirit Coins, he could afford to go.

However, there was no need to wait for a moment near the white jade railing on the embankment by the lake.

A familiar sound of air being torn apart could be heard.

In the drizzling blue sky, a beautiful woman in a white dress and a veil flew over on a sword.

The clear sword light cut through the chaotic spring rain.

It was the number one courtesan on the lake, the female Sword Immortal, Fairy Yun Rou.

An Le held the oil-paper umbrella and stood there, looking at this beautiful woman through the drizzle.

Why would this 18-year-old woman who had formed an Inner Core end up like this?

An Le still couldn't figure it out.

However, An Le was grateful to the female Sword Immortal. It was precisely because a female Sword Immortal amazed the West Lake that he was able to silently obtain Age Qi.

Thinking of this, An Le's heart stirred as he absorbed a wisp of Age Qi from Fairy Yun Rou, who was still riding her sword.

Fairy Yun Rou covered her face with a veil, her eyelashes fluttered as she swept her gaze across the crowd and met An Le's gaze.

It wasn't that she sensed An Le stealing from her, but because she realized the hidden Qi Blood in An Le's body and the concealed power of his mind and soul.

As a cultivator who had just activated his Qi Blood Awakening, he was a little weak.

However, the overflowing mental power was rather condensed. Clearly, the Spirit Refinement cultivation technique he cultivated was rather high-level. Someone who could possess such a Spirit Refinement cultivation technique must have an extraordinary status.

She nodded slightly at An Le and landed on the boat. The scholars around An Le thought that Fairy Yun Rou was greeting them and could not help but get excited. Their voices became louder as they recited poems.

An Le was stunned. He could sense that Fairy Yun Rou was greeting him, but this was the first time the two of them had interacted.

The corners of An Le's lips curled up into a smile as he nodded in return. At the same time, he quietly extracted another wisp of Age Qi from the fairy.

Unfortunately, the two wisps of Age Qi were gray and not gold. They could not condense the Dao Fruit.

Fairy Yun Rou did not interact further with An Le, she quickly entered the boat and disappeared.

An Le had already gotten what he wanted today and did not stay any longer.

In fact, there were dozens of flower boats on the West Lake. It was not that no cultivators came usually. However, cultivators were not like these scholars who were so bored that they had nothing else to do. They gathered by the embankment and pretended to be cool.

In the prosperous and extravagant Lin'an Prefecture, there was a place called the 'Falling Flower Pavilion' that specialized in welcoming cultivators. That was the place where cultivators often visited. Many flower boats on the West Lake actually belonged to the Falling Flower Pavilion.

Holding an umbrella, An Le passed by a long street filled with people and walked towards the Lin Residence.

However, after taking a few steps, a shout came from afar.

Puzzled, An Le turned around and saw a familiar figure striding over from the crowd.

He had a saber at his waist and was wearing a black suit.

This person was the constable of the Black Office who had brought him to the Lin Mansion, Huang Xian.
