Chapter 16

In his previous life, Wei Changfeng had used countless Dragon Tiger Soups, so he was very familiar with preparing the medicinal broth. However, long-term boiling of the broth could not be done without help; someone needed to add water and firewood. He couldn't just soak for a short while and then crawl out to do it himself.

So Wei Changfeng called his two younger sisters over and instructed them earnestly, "Xiaoying and Xiaoyu, help your brother light the incense first. After half an incense stick, add a spoonful of water to the pot and the bucket, and add some firewood, okay?"

An incense stick burns for about a quarter of an hour, and Wei Changfeng was already well-prepared by then. Wei Xiaoying and Wei Xiaoyu looked at each other and nodded in unison.

"Good job!"

Wei Changfeng smiled and said, "I'll buy you both a stuffed doll, one each!"

The two little girls' eyes lit up at this, and they nodded vigorously, looking especially cute. Wei Changfeng chuckled, closed his eyes, and began to regulate his breathing.

He gradually entered a state of complete focus, his breathing becoming long and steady, each breath taking five times longer than normal. He was using the True Qi Breathing Technique.

Initially, Wei Changfeng had looked down on this lower-grade Feather-level cultivation method because his divine soul memory contained cultivation techniques that were hundreds of times more powerful. However, to cultivate any of those advanced techniques, his martial arts foundation was too weak. If he couldn't even understand the meaning of the cultivation method's text, how could he cultivate on his own?

The consequences of reckless cultivation could very likely lead to a mental breakdown!

Yesterday's encounter had also sounded a warning bell for him. Rapidly enhancing his strength was now urgent; otherwise, he couldn't even protect himself, let alone become a Martial Emperor and Alchemy God.

Therefore, re-cultivating the True Qi Breathing Technique became the best choice. On one hand, although this cultivation method was of a very low grade, it was still a good foundation for body refinement, being straightforward and easy to practice.

Most importantly, his previous self had already cultivated the True Qi Breathing Technique to the third level. Now, picking it up again would undoubtedly be more efficient and faster.

As it turned out, Wei Changfeng's decision was correct. In just a short while, he sensed the qi within his body. Everyone is born with innate qi, which gradually disappears with age. Techniques like the True Qi Breathing Technique can guide the innate qi to gather in the lower dantian, where it is refined into true qi and true strength, which can then be used in martial techniques.

This is one of the main reasons why the best age for martial arts cultivation is between ten and fifteen years old. Although it is still possible to cultivate internal techniques without innate qi, the effects are much worse.

After three years of neglect, Wei Changfeng's lower dantian was already empty, but fortunately, his innate qi was still present. The qi sensing immediately guided it along the meridians into the martial meridians, finally gathering in the dantian.

Wei Changfeng's martial meridians already showed signs of closure, and the process of breathing and guiding qi was not smooth, even causing interruptions and tearing pain!

Wei Changfeng knew he couldn't stop at this moment. If he gave up, all his previous efforts would be in vain, and the damage to his martial meridians would be irreparable. Therefore, he persevered and finally completed the first condensation of qi into strength.

A strand of pure true qi quietly emerged!

The first level of the True Qi Breathing Technique—True Qi Sensing—was achieved!

At this point, after a period of boiling, the medicinal power of the Dragon Tiger Soup gradually became concentrated, continuously seeping through his skin into his organs, making his blood and qi more vigorous.

The Dragon Tiger Soup not only tempered his physique but also strengthened his qi. In his previous life, Wei Changfeng had only enjoyed one benefit, but now he was not wasting any of it.

With both internal and external cultivation, the speed of dantian true qi condensation suddenly increased, and the tearing sensation in his martial meridians became lighter, with even a slight expansion.

This was definitely a good sign, indicating that the operation of the True Qi Breathing Technique was gradually entering a smooth state.

When the dantian true qi accumulated to a certain level, Wei Changfeng tried to drive the true qi back up through the martial meridians.

The second level of the True Qi Breathing Technique—True Qi Penetration—was broken through!

This meant that Wei Changfeng's martial arts strength, in terms of true qi and internal strength, had recovered from the first level of body refinement to the second level, with a speed that could be called miraculous.

He was able to achieve this not only because he was familiar with re-cultivating the True Qi Breathing Technique but also because he had an outstanding martial arts talent, with naturally connected martial meridians, saving a lot of initial effort.

In addition, the effect of the specially prepared Dragon Tiger Soup made such a speed not surprising.

Of course, martial artists cultivate both internally and externally. With Wei Changfeng's current physique, his combat ability would not significantly improve unless he broke through to the third level of true qi permeating the body.

However, as the saying goes, haste makes waste. The path of martial arts cannot be pursued with blind haste. Feeling a slight heat in his dantian, he decisively stopped the breathing and guiding process.

Wei Changfeng opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air. He saw Wei Xiaoying and Wei Xiaoyu standing on a stool, curiously peering at him.

"Oh!"

Wei Xiaoying was the first to exclaim, "Brother is awake!"

Wei Changfeng smiled and asked, "Xiaoying, how long have I been sleeping?"

The two little girls looked exactly the same and dressed the same, but Wei Changfeng could easily tell them apart.

Wei Xiaoying said, "Brother, we added water six times. Xiaoyu just asked if you were cooked!"

Six times of water was three incense sticks, about three quarters of an hour, which was not long but sufficient for the initial refinement.

Wei Changfeng nodded and said, "You've worked hard. Go back to sleep."

Wei Xiaoyu pouted and asked, "Brother, what about the stuffed dolls you promised us?"

Wei Changfeng smiled and said, "Do you think I would lie to you? I'll buy them tomorrow!"

The two little girls immediately beamed with joy and held hands as they left the shed.

Wei Changfeng climbed out of the medicinal bucket, dried his body, and put on his clothes, then extinguished the fire.

This bucket of Dragon Tiger Soup could be boiled again to avoid wasting the precious herbs.

Although he had left the medicinal bucket, the medicinal power was still in his body, making him feel warm and comfortable, with seemingly endless strength and high spirits.

Taking advantage of this surge of energy, Wei Changfeng left the shed and went to the courtyard, practicing the True Extreme Five Forms Technique under the moonlight.

This time, he practiced all 49 forms of the Bear Punch, Tiger Claw, Crane Body, Fox Step, and Snake Wrap, although not perfectly, without encountering the problem of running out of strength and being forced to stop.

For a moment, the courtyard was filled with flying shadows, with the movements of bears, tigers, cranes, foxes, and snakes, breaking the night's tranquility!

...

The next morning, Wei Changfeng ate an entire pot of meat porridge and five large meat buns.

Moyun Wan was a bit startled by his appetite.

With the silver notes Wei Changfeng had given her, Moyun Wan had more financial freedom and no longer had to be frugal with food, but she didn't expect Wei Changfeng's appetite to be so large.

"Mom, I'm fine. I just need to supplement my diet after re-cultivating martial arts. I'll eat even more in the future."

Wei Changfeng smiled and explained, "Yeah, I feel stronger too!"

Martial arts have the concept of internal cultivation and external supplementation. Whether it's a body-refining martial artist, a true qi condenser, a innate qi master, or even a spirit transformation grandmaster, they all have specific dietary requirements and cannot just make do with anything.

Body-refining martial artists have the lowest requirements; as long as they can eat and drink enough at each meal and have regular meat supplements, they can ensure the necessary body refinement. The stronger they are, the more they eat.

Therefore, poor families find it difficult to support a martial artist independently, and that's why there are so many destitute warriors in the open market outside Jingyun City, relying on treasure hunting, hunting, or even fraud to make a living.

Moyun Wan, as a mother, was not unhappy to see her son eating and drinking well. She put her mind at ease and smiled, "I see, I'll buy more meat today to let you eat your fill!"

"Okay, I'll be back in the evening," Wei Changfeng said.

The management of the lower academy of Jingyun Martial Academy was quite relaxed, and disciples could choose whether to stay in the dormitory or not. Wei Changfeng had booked a room for convenience, but he still needed to go home regularly.

On one hand, he needed to take care of his family, and on the other, he needed to boil the Dragon Tiger Soup, practice the True Extreme Five Forms Technique, and even prepare for future alchemy, which were not suitable to be done at the martial academy.

Moreover, once he earned enough money, he planned to buy a better and safer residence.

Today was the first day of the new month for the new disciples at the martial academy. Moyun Wan had prepared some daily necessities for Wei Changfeng and packed them in a bag for him to take.

When Wei Changfeng arrived at Jingyun Martial Academy, the front courtyard was already bustling with people, and many small vendors had set up stalls nearby.

There were many new junior disciples, and the academy had arranged personnel to guide and instruct them, helping them understand the rules and regulations to avoid making mistakes.

However, for Wei Changfeng, none of this was new. He first went to his dormitory.

The dormitories, labeled Jia, Yi, Bing, and Ding, were located on the west side of the academy, arranged in order of grade. Due to the large number of disciples, the scale of the dormitories was also quite large.

It was said that the best Jia dormitories were always full, and only when a student left or advanced would a room become available, often being reserved in advance by someone with connections.

The Yi dormitories were also in high demand, and Wei Changfeng was lucky to have booked one.

When he found his dormitory room according to the room card, he saw three gray-shirted teenagers standing at the door.

"Did you book room Yi 59?"

The leading teenager was tall and muscular, with his arms crossed, looking at Wei Changfeng with disdain. He said arrogantly, "Hand over the room card and go to room Bing 104. There's a bed reserved for you there!"

Wei Changfeng immediately laughed!
