(TL: Why am I not surprised that he's a genius in this sht too)
”Qingfeng, for the next couple days you should stay at Wudang Mountain and practice from the ancient martial arts technique. After a couple of days you can come back to Eastern Sea city after your injuries get better.” Daozang Lu said to Qingfeng Li.
”Thank you Temple Master, sorry for the inconvenience for the past couple of days.” thanked Qingfeng Li, his heart full of gratitude.
With the thought of Xue Lin and Ruyan Liu still in the room, Qingfeng Li knew he couldn't head back now. Whenever the two women saw him, they would fight vigorously with one another, which would definitely delay his practices.
”Monk, when you head back, please tell Xue Lin and Ruyan that I will be here, resting for a couple of days. I will not be seeing them for a while.” Qingfeng Li said to Xuanji Lu.
Xuanji Lu opened his mouth, as if to say something, but halted when he saw the sternness in Qingfeng Li's eyes. He had no choice but to send the message to the two women. The thought of seeing Xue Lin and Ruyan Liu gave him a headache.
”Temple Master, can I begin to practice the ancient martial arts technique?” Qingfeng Li asked.
”Of course, but this martial arts technique is extremely difficult, you must prepare yourself.” Daozang Lu said.
With the permission of Daocang Lu, Qingfeng Li retrieved another mat, sitting cross-legged on the ground, beginning to read the first page of the Lower Heaven Level practice contents.
The first level of the Lower Heaven Level was the exercise of skin cultivation. Like the name implied, it was an exercise for the skin. The skin on a human body is the most exposed to the outside environmen. It is also the most prone to injuries. Therefore, the first step was to train the skin until it became tough, like an iron wall.
Qingfeng Li followed the breathing technique described in the first level and began breathing in strange patterns. This technique was very different from ordinary breathing. It seemed a bit special.
When Qingfeng Li first began, his whole entire body felt uncomfortable due to him holding his breath, as if someone was pinching his nose and he was drowning underwater.
Every intake of breath was followed by three minutes of breath-holding. After just a while of practice, both Qingfeng Li's face and body turned fiery red from holding in his breath.
Daozang Lu sat on another mat on the ground. Seeing Qingfeng Li's fiery red face, he lightly laughed, because he had experienced the same thing during his younger years of practicing this very same martial arts technique.
Daozang Lu closed his eyes, deciding not to look at Qingfeng Li exercising. Because he knew of the extreme difficulties one faces in the beginning stages of the process. For an ordinary person, ancient martial arts is a brand new territory, requiring them to start from the very beginning.
Qingfeng Li tried many times, but every time he failed to hold his breath for more than three minutes. The first level of skin exercising seemed impossible.
Although Qingfeng Li failed all his attempts, he wasn't discouraged. If it had been that easy to accomplish the ancient martial arts practices, many people would have become ancient martial art masters by now.
The practice of ancient martial arts required high natural aptitudes. Without the talent and the insight, one would not be able to complete the process even if given the practice.
Did Qingfeng Li have the talent? Of course he did. The insight? He did as well. Without these natural gifts he wouldn't have become Wolf King, rising above billions and billions of people, arriving at the peak of mankind.
But ancient martial arts was a whole other mountain he wanted to climb. He had just come in contact with it, so he's starting from zero. This was a whole other realm. In this realm, he was a weakling.
As if climbing a mountain, the Black Impermanence had already reached the mountainside, but Qingfeng Li was still at the very bottom. In the beginning stages, this ancient martial arts mountain was going to be much more difficult to climb than any regular mountain.
