Chapter 40: Chapter 36: Dragon Sparrow Qi Nurturing Technique (Has This Book Cooled Down?)

Translator: 549690339

At the lofty height of Pure Yang Peak, a grand hall stood near the Heavenly Pool. Han Ye walked all the way through the gate, following Elder Sister Shen to the hall.

The hall was cold, quiet, and spotless. The faint smoke of incense wafted up, soothing one’s mind.

Han Ye noticed a huge statue placed inside the hall. It depicted a man clad in a daoist robe, standing on the back of a Jiaolong, surfing the waves. He held a towering celestial disc behind his back, his gaze sharp and piercing, hfehke as if alive, with a pair of giant wings sprouting behind him.

“Dragon Sparrow Dao Lord…”

He slowly intoned facing the spirit plaque.

Seeing his curiosity, Elder Sister Shen said, “This is Dragon Sparrow Dao Lord, the first great cultivator to ascend from Dragon Sparrow Sect a thousand years ago. Although he was originally an ordinary cultivator, he later came into great fortune, survived numerous life-threatening challenges, rose to prominence amongst the many prodigies of his time, and finally achieved the legendary ?Python and Sparrow Swallow the Dragon’. His ascension has been lauded as a legendary feat.”

“He is here.”

When Han Ye nodded, a brawny, deep voice came from the side.

“Indeed, the Tyrant King Bloodline. His vital energy is indeed thick.” A large man with a slim face, clad in a black martial robe and hands clasped behind him, strode toward the center of the hall. His arms were robust, giving off an oppressive aura.

His hair was short, his beard ragged, his face was iron-like, with bright and powerful eyes. The most noticeable feature was a three-inch long scar at the corner of his mouth.

It looked like he had been bitten by a fierce beast.

Not remotely a fierce god or evil spirit, he still looked somewhat frighteningly

impressive.

“Greetings, Elder Gai.”

Han Ye respectfully bowed slightly.

This man must be Pure Yang Peak’s chief elder, Gai Mitian. “What level have you reached in your physical cultivation?” Elder Gai questioned straightforwardly, without any frills or pleasantries, “in reply to Elder, I am at the fourth level, the Blood Marrow Realm,” Han Ye promptly answered.

Elder Gai nodded, his voice deep, “Being able to reach the Blood Marrow Realm is no small feat. No wonder old Jiang recommended you. It shows your foundation is solid. Most disciples of the Outer Sect are stuck in the Internal Organs Realm, unable to proceed to Qi Cultivation.”

Followed by that, Elder Gai showed a playful smile, raising his voice:

“However, youngster, let’s make things clear!

-If you can’t take the hardship of cultivation here in Pure Yang Peak, you will be immediately ousted. I don’t care who brought you in.”

In response, Han Ye soberly nodded:

“Junior understands!”

Seeing his docile and honest demeanor, Gai Mitian thought to himself.

This youngster seems pretty honest.

Given he is at the Blood Marrow Realm, battling Qi Cultivators, suggests he had great potential. Joining Pure Yang Peak was indeed a wise choice.

Old Jiang’s divinations can sometimes be reliable.

However, this matter can’t be taken lightly.

After thinking for a while, Elder Gai spoke to Elder Sister Shen, “Regarding those Outer Sect disciples who tried to extort you yesterday…

“Let them pack and leave within the day, Pure Yang Peak has no need for such scum.”

“Yes.”

Elder Sister Shen respectfully agreed.

Gai Mitian’s gaze returned to Han Ye’s face, instructing him:

“In Pure Yang Peak, there aren’t many rules, you just need to remember four words, ‘to fight, to endure¹. When facing demon cultivators, you must fight. When facing hardships of cultivation, you must endure.”

“This applies to all disciples. The strong are entitled to more resources. You should know, in Pure Yang Peak, your Elder Sister Shen is the only female disciple, but none of your elder brothers can match her. So, nobody will favor you, as Pure Yang Peak values strength above all. Do you have any objections.”

“None.”

Han Ye answered solemnly.

Elder Gai nodded in satisfaction, tossing a jade slip from his hand, and waved him away, saying,

“Your Sister Shen will explain to you how to use the jade slip and other cultivation matters in the future.”

“I understand, Elder.”

Feeling the warmth of the spirit stones, Han Ye nodded his head.

“Still calling me elder?”

Elder Gai raised an eyebrow.

“Disciple pays his respects to Master!”

Han Ye scratched his head embarrassedly and bowed again.

“Go.”

After leaving the Great Hall, Sister Shen explained to Han Ye how to use the jade slip along the way. She turned her white neck to demonstrate: “This technique is called Dragon Sparrow Qi Nurturing Technique. It is the most basic method in the sect and is mandatory for all novice disciples. You just have to hold the jade slip, keep your eyes on it, and your spiritual power can read the content of the method.”

“Quite amazing indeed.”

Han Ye followed her instructions, grasped the jade slip, and a glow slowly emanated from it. Subsequently, lines of text appeared in his mind, clearly legible, much more convenient than flipping through a book. Sister Shen smiled slightly and said: “The manuals of martial artists and the Qi Cultivation Method of cultivators generally use three types of recording methods. Mankind uses ordinary paper pages, how many years it can be preserved depends on luck. Apart from war and man-made calamities, over the long years, dampness, ant damage and so on, will also cause gradual damage and disappearance.”

“So within the sect, Nurturing Spirit Jade acting as a jade slip for martial arts techniques has become the norm. A single Nurturing Spirit Jade slip can be treasured for thousands of years without destruction. These inherited techniques are the sect’s trump cards and often kept a secret.” Seeing Han Ye successfully accessing the technique, Sister Shen continued: “As the saying goes, Qi cultivation begins with refining the body. As you have already crossed this step, let’s move straight to Qi cultivation.” “Qi cultivation is generally divided into five levels, remember that.” “Isn’t it from the first level to the tenth level?

Han Ye was slightly surprised.

Sister Shen shook her head: “The cultivation world progresses with time, out with the old and in with the new. Your division is the outdated one from the middle ages. It isn’t very specific for the vast majority of Qi Practitioners, and the difference between each level is minuscule. Therefore, people made a new division to sort out who’s stronger in Qi cultivation.”

“Please continue, Sister.”

-Qi cultivation is simply the process of us cultivators converting the Heavenly Earthly Spiritual Qi into our own spiritual Qi. The speed and quantity of this process vary among individuals, forming varying levels of talent.” ■’After drawing in the Qi, the level of True Qi transformed in the Dantian varies. If it’s as small as a cup and shows no movement, then it’s the first realm.” -When it accumulates, like pond water, a shallow pool, then it’s the second realm.”

-The pool transforms into river water, plenty and flowing, coursing through the meridians, it’s the third stage.”

-When the body is filled with True Qi, it’s like an ocean, broad and boundless, forming a Qi Sea, it’s the fourth stage.”

“Lastly, near infiniteness, vast and magnificent, is the realm of completeness.” “So, simply put, there are five stages: the cup, the pool, the river, the sea, and the completeness, right?” Han Ye quickly confirmed.

Sister Shen nodded her head: “Correct. Only when you cultivate to the fourth stage, the Sea Realm, can you undergo rebirth to enter the Foundation Establishment Stage.”

“Although the Dragon Sparrow Qi Cultivation Technique has not been considered top-notch among current Qi cultivation methods, it definitely has its place among the various large sects. It is unquestionably an essential item for any Qi Practitioner.”

“I understand.”

Han Ye nodded.

“I see that you have already started drawing in Qi and have True Qi, but there’s some way to go before reaching the stage of the cupful of water. After a few days, you can stay in the peak to cultivate.

“In three days, the sect will hold the Grand Ceremony to officially welcome you as disciples of the sect.”
