Chapter 52

Stepping to the side with a dominant punch, crouching to dodge and sweeping the legs.

Then... clasping his fists and hammering.

Basic Fist Technique, Sixth Form!

By the time he completed this move, Song Shuhang was already at the end of his strength. His body, exhausted and drained, felt as if it were about to collapse.

To be honest, for an ordinary person without any cultivation foundation, being able to perform to this extent on their first try was already quite impressive. Medicine Master had predicted that Song Shuhang would find it difficult to last beyond the fifth move.

But Song Shuhang looked like he could still continue!

"However, the energy from the Body Tempering Liquid in Shuhang's body is almost depleted... It's understandable, as it has been over twelve hours since he drank it. There was only a small amount of the liquid left in his body, which should have been completely consumed by the fifth move." Medicine Master took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket, which contained the simplified Body Tempering Liquid that Song Shuhang had helped him refine: "If he were to replenish the Body Tempering Liquid halfway through, would he be able to last longer? Shuhang, let me see the limits of your will. If you can complete this set of fist techniques in one go, the value of my simplified Body Tempering Liquid will increase even more."

A moment later, after Song Shuhang completed the 'Basic Fist Technique Sixth Form,' Medicine Master called out, "Shuhang, open your mouth!"

Song Shuhang, whose mind was already somewhat muddled, instinctively opened his mouth.

A small clump of black liquid was flicked by Medicine Master and landed in his mouth.

Instantly, a burning pain and spiciness exploded in his throat!

Immediately after, the explosive liquid transformed into a warm heat, sliding from his throat down to his abdomen. He felt a warm and comfortable sensation in his stomach, making him want to moan.

Body Tempering Liquid? Song Shuhang immediately understood.

A new surge of medicinal power erupted within him. The massive medicinal power almost burst his body, while simultaneously giving him boundless energy.

With the full support of the medicinal power, the Basic Fist Technique Seventh Form was smoothly executed.

Then came the Basic Fist Technique Eighth and Ninth Forms!

Unstoppable.

The surging medicinal power made Song Shuhang let out a suppressed light howl, unable to hold it back.

He recited the fist technique incantations in a low, powerful voice, moving his fists as his will directed, and his will following his body.

Each move made Song Shuhang more exhausted, but as long as he held on, the 'Body Tempering Liquid' in his body would replenish his strength and eliminate the fatigue.

"Keep going, you must persist until the entire set of the 'Vajra Basic Fist Technique' is completed!"

This was the only thought in Song Shuhang's mind.

Finally... he completed all eighteen moves of the 'Vajra Basic Fist Technique'!

Inside his body, his blood and qi were overflowing.

His body turned slightly red, and the hot blood and qi seemed ready to burst out from every pore.

He completed it, with his blood and qi overflowing! Song Shuhang clenched his fists, suppressing the urge to let out a long roar—this was the rooftop of the boys' dormitory, and a loud roar would attract unnecessary trouble.

Medicine Master's lips curled up in satisfaction.

To actually complete the entire 'Vajra Basic Fist Technique' from start to finish was truly unexpected!

"Very good. Now, while the overflowing blood and qi in your body have not cooled or dissipated, immediately sit cross-legged and cultivate the 'True Self Meditation Sutra'!" He immediately reminded Song Shuhang.

In the cultivation world, meditation techniques are as numerous as the stars in the sky.

However, all meditation techniques ultimately aim to highly concentrate the human spirit, generating a thread of spiritual energy.

Spiritual energy and the energy within the body are the foundation of a cultivator's cultivation.

Under normal circumstances, the blood and qi in the human body are not controlled by human will. Only highly concentrated spiritual energy can guide the blood and qi to circulate in the body in a simple manner.

In addition, when the blood and qi evolve into true qi or even higher levels of energy, corresponding levels of spiritual energy are needed to guide and control them.

Otherwise, if the spiritual energy does not keep up with the level of cultivation, it is easy to experience spiritual deviation and lose control over the energy in the body. This is why cultivators often engage in seclusion and meditation, and undergo trials in the mortal world to enhance their spiritual energy.

Moreover, the spiritual energy cultivated by cultivators varies depending on the meditation technique. Some have spiritual energy like the darkness and silence of the night, some have spiritual energy as fierce as tigers and lions, and some have spiritual energy as peaceful as ancient trees, all due to the differences in meditation techniques.

The 'True Self Meditation Sutra' uses meditation to imagine the 'true self' in the mind, dispelling all杂念, making the spiritual energy as calm as an ancient well, highly concentrated, and evolving into spiritual energy.

Song Shuhang took a deep breath, calmed his agitation, and sat cross-legged for the final step.

He recited the content of the 'True Self Meditation Sutra' in his mouth, using the meditation technique to form the image of the 'true self' in his mind.

Although the Vajra Temple is a Buddhist temple, the 'true self' in the 'True Self Meditation Sutra' is different from the 'self with eight great freedoms' mentioned in Buddhism.

Here, the 'true self' is just the literal meaning, the true self. The meditation technique is about concentrating the true self in the mind.

This 'true self' is not static; it changes with the cultivator's age, life experiences, cultivation techniques, and identity.

It could be an ordinary child, a white-robed swordsman, a fierce knife wielder, a kind and gentle senior, or even a mortal in the secular world, or it could transform into a blood sea demon due to hatred and resentment. The 'true self' in the 'True Self Meditation Sutra' changes with each stage of the cultivator's life.

Compared to other meditation techniques, the 'True Self Meditation Sutra' is not as fierce as a tiger or lion, not as peaceful as an ancient tree, and not as vast and silent as the stars, but it is the most suitable meditation technique for 'oneself' because it is the 'true self'.

"So, what kind of person will I, Song Shuhang, be?" Shuhang thought to himself.

Will the 'true self' be the unparalleled hero I once longed to be?

Or, since I have entered the cultivation world, will the 'true self' transform into a cultivator with ethereal aura?

It shouldn't be a demon or a blood sea demon, right? I have lived a simple and ordinary life, without any grudges or enmities...

If not, it should at least be a very handsome version of myself, right?

As he pondered, with the recitation of the 'True Self Meditation Sutra' completed, Song Shuhang felt a clarity in his mind.

A figure began to form in his mind, or rather, in his consciousness.

First, the crossed legs, then the arms, followed by the waist, moving upward...

It was as if a 3D printer was printing a human figure in his mind.

What kind of 'me' will it be?

Song Shuhang was incredibly eager to find out.

Using meditation to see the true self, to know the true 'me'!

In his great anticipation, the 'true self' in the depths of his mind took shape.

How to describe it?

Surprisingly ordinary!

The 'true self' was exactly like Song Shuhang, wearing a simple short-sleeved shirt and black casual pants, sitting cross-legged with a gentle smile on his face.

Using meditation to see the 'true self'.

Such an ordinary 'true self'—does this mean I am still just an ordinary mortal?

Before he could think more, at the moment the 'true self' formed, all of Song Shuhang's杂念 were dispelled, and his spiritual energy became highly concentrated. With the assistance of the 'True Self Meditation Sutra', the first thread of pure spiritual energy was generated.

Once the spiritual energy was formed, Song Shuhang quickly followed the guidance in the meditation technique to begin guiding the overflowing blood and qi.

He directed it to the 'heart acupoint'.

The heart acupoint is the position of the heart. However, the heart acupoint is not the heart itself, but an acupoint near the heart. It cannot be touched, and even if the human body were dissected, the 'heart acupoint' would not be visible. But it exists!

Song Shuhang's overflowing blood and qi were not insignificant. Under the guidance of the spiritual energy formed by the 'true self', the overflowing blood and qi converged from all directions in his body, centered around the heart acupoint.

As this process continued, the heat in his body gradually dissipated. It felt like being in the scorching summer, after being under the sun's intense rays, suddenly stepping into the cool air of an air-conditioned room, refreshing and comfortable.

After an unknown amount of time, under the guidance of the spiritual energy of the 'true self', all the overflowing blood and qi had been integrated into the heart acupoint. Song Shuhang now felt a warm sensation in his heart, with his heart beating strongly in his chest.

Hmm, the sound of a very healthy heart. Song Shuhang nodded, no heart disease, very good.
