Chapter 71 – The Unleashing of Battle Qi
The theory of unleashing Battle Qi was quite simple, and it could be mastered by any cultivator. Ye Qinghan was no exception. Moreover, Ye Tianlong had already bestowed him a stack of secret manuals, including the one dealing with the most efficient method of unleashing Battle Qi.
Battle Qi originated from the essence of heaven and earth. Before one cleared his meridians, the Battle Qi could be stored and circulated in one’s cells. In a similar way, the Battle Qi could also be led out of one’s body through the cells.
However, before one’s Dantian was condensed, the circulating speed of Battle Qi was extremely slow. Even if the little amount of Battle Qi was unleashed, it was impossible to form any visible shape, let alone hurt others.
Only when a cultivator’s Dantian was condensed, and his other twelve meridians were cleared, could a perfect circulation system be formed between the meridians and the Dantian. A steady flow of Battle Qi, by that time, would be circulating inside one’s body, which made it possible for the unleashing of Battle Qi. The required amount of Battle Qi would be condensed into terrifying crystals of power. These crystals of power could be used to directly attack, or to be exploded to cause a disastrous situation for one’s opponent.
Inside the commodious carriage, Qinghan crossed his legs on his bedside, while he already was fully concentrated on the circulation of Battle Qi in his meridians and Dantian, despite the clops, and the noises caused by the wheels.
Suddenly, Qinghan pushed a small amount of Battle Qi, from the steady flow inside the circulating system, to the five fingers of his left hand. The complexity of the meridians deterred the accurate flow of Battle Qi; however, the ten fingers, where most of the meridians existed, were the most efficient part to unleash Battle Qi. In each and every finger, there was a small meridian, which was connected to the meridians in the other fingers. In other words, the palm was a meridian-laden section of the body. Due to this, it was relatively more convenient to unleash the Battle Qi through the fingers. Therefore, without further consideration, Qinghan imitated what the ancestors had written down, and led a specific amount of Battle Qi to his fingers, in a speedy, but controllable manner.
When the small amount of Battle Qi emerged from his five fingers, it would be condensed into a crystal of Battle Qi. Cautiously Qinghan controlled the speed of unleashing, and witnessed the mixing and condensation of the Battle Qi in his palm.
- Buzz! -
All of a sudden, as the unleashed Battle Qi accumulated to a certain amount, Qinghan felt the force in his palm disappear, like a fully blown-up balloon being poked and flattened.
“Damn! I screwed it up! The most difficult part of unleashing Battle Qi would be the controlling of the proper speed.” Qinghan stared at his empty palm, and murmured to himself. Although he had failed on his first try, he was far from thwarted. Actually, there wasn’t much skill involved in this process, it all depended on one’s mind. There were sadly no shortcuts available. The only way to succeed, was to repeat this process of controlling the speed and flow of the Battle Qi, time and time again.
“Again!” Qinghan encouraged himself, as he closed his eyes and concentrated all of his mind on the conveying of Battle Qi.
Two times, three times… fifty times!
One day, two days… four days!
Eventually, on the fifth day, did Qinghan jump out of his carriage. He did some relaxing stretches, in order to activate his almost rotten waist. After releasing a long breath, he turned around, and found Feng Zi and the other young lords, who were sitting around a table.
“Young lord, did you finish your cultivation?”
Shiqi, who had been guarding around the carriage for the last few days, smiled to Qinghan the moment he saw Qinghan emerge from his carriage.
“Yes, I’ve finished. Come with me, and let us enjoy some good wine together!” Qinghan was in high spirits, for he had just successfully mastered the technique of unleashing Battle Qi. With a bright smile, he walked towards the crowd of young lords.
“Hey, young lord Qinghan. You’ve finally come. Take a seat, please!”
“Qinghan, you’re such a diligent cultivator!”
“Hello, young lord!”
Everyone who was nearby, quickly stood up, warmly greeting Qinghan. The members of the Death Squad, as well as his five new disciples, all bowed to Qinghan with full respect.
“Hey, come on. I’ve already told you guys, please eliminate those unnecessary formalities. Personally, I don’t like it when you guys do that. I’ll go and sit down with the other young lords to have a nice chat with them!” Qinghan waved his hands, and stepped forward, “Feng Zi, Hua Cao, Shuiliu, I’m coming. Save me some wine, please! I’ve promised to drink an entire urn of wine as an apology for not joining you guys the other day.”
“Alright! I like your straightforward personality. Let us have a blast tonight!” Feng Zi tapped on the edge of the table, and told everyone to refill their cups with wine.
