Chapter 113: Qi, Blood, and Energy Unite to Forge the Path of the Transcendent!_2
The main test was his own comprehension. To achieve a breakthrough in the Eight Pieces of Brocade, Zhang Beixing had to find the resonant frequency among Qi, blood, and Hidden Force, and merge them into one. Otherwise, he feared he might be trapped at the Entry Level for his entire life.
No wonder it's just a health Cultivation Technique, yet the Chen Family has the rule of passing it only to males, not females.
The power produced when these three resonate... let alone females, even males with weaker bodies might get their internal organs damaged and stir up chaos.
But if the Northern Sect Eight Pieces of Brocade places such high demands on the body, why do they lower the barriers and openly offer Cultivation? Aren't they harming the descendants of the Chen Family?
Forget it, whether it harms them or not doesn't concern me. I can withstand it, and that's enough!
...
As Zhang Beixing calmed his mind, carefully sensing the condition inside his body and attempting to merge these three into one, time unknowingly passed by.
At seven o'clock, Chen Rourou and Liu Yi had almost finished their practice and were ready to leave. They had intended to bid farewell to Zhang Beixing, but seeing how engrossed he was in his training, they decided not to disturb him.
After leaving the grove, Chen Rourou recalled the odd way Zhang Beixing had been practicing his punches, feeling incredibly puzzled. She wondered how Zhang Beixing's training was getting weirder. His expressions seemed painful, yet he also looked incredibly formidable. Could it be that his realm in the Eight Pieces of Brocade had undergone some breakthrough?
If I ask him, he definitely won't tell me...
A very self-aware Chen Rourou snorted coldly, casually pulled out her phone, and sent a message, "Dad, are you there?" to her father, Chen Fenghua.
The message was sent, and within a few seconds, a question mark from Chen Fenghua came back.
Seeing this, Chen Rourou tapped on the keyboard, voicing her doubts.
Chen Rourou: "Dad, how should I train the Northern Sect Eight Pieces of Brocade later? Does it get weird and painful as I progress?"
Chen Fenghua: "How to train later? It's all about Qi and Blood resonance!"
Chen Fenghua naturally didn't intend to keep it from his daughter. Since she had already learned it herself, what difference would this bit make?
Chen Rourou: "Qi and Blood resonance?"
Chen Fenghua: "Yes. I wasn't supposed to tell you this, but since you've independently figured out the Cultivation method of the Northern Sect Eight Pieces of Brocade, you will eventually encounter it anyway. So, I might as well tell you all about it."
"After cultivating the Northern Sect Eight Pieces of Brocade to a certain realm, you need to make the Qi and Blood inside your body resonate to achieve a more powerful training effect. Whether it's the Eight Pieces of Brocade or any other Internal Boxing, once you reach a profound realm, the effect demonstrated is the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound!"
"The Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound means the body is constantly vibrating Qi and Blood to temper itself, emitting a purring sound like that of feline animals—not an actual tiger's roar or thunder."
"Of course, this realm is too far for you. As for the Qi and Blood resonance technique, it's quite arduous and has a high degree of difficulty. A slight carelessness can cause complications. My dear daughter, have you already reached this stage of practice? Your progress is truly fast, impressive!"
Seeing Chen Fenghua's messages, Chen Rourou had a realization: Zhang Beixing must have been working on these things for the past few days.
Chen Rourou: "So, does Qi and Blood resonance mean that the breath inside the body resonates with the blood?"
Chen Fenghua: "No, Qi and Blood refers simply to Qi and Blood. Blood is the mother of Qi; blood is Yin, and Qi is Yang. Life activities proceed normally when the Yin and Yang of Qi and Blood are coordinated and balanced. This is 'Qi and Blood,' a concept in traditional Chinese medicine, not the same as the air you breathe."
"It has nothing to do with the breath you normally train with; they are not the same thing at all. You must not practice blindly or incorrectly. Internal Boxing differs from External Boxing. If practiced incorrectly, it could lead to severe internal injuries, damage the body, or in severe cases, cause shock, cardiac arrest, or even sudden death!"
Her father's solemn reminder alarmed Chen Rourou. Was it really that serious?
Fortunately, Chen Fenghua's next messages quickly followed.
Chen Fenghua: "So, as long as you're careful during practice, there shouldn't be any issues, and you don't have to be too afraid. Besides, the 'breath' and 'Qi and Blood' are worlds apart and unlikely to interfere with each other, so you can just train steadily. Otherwise, how could the Chen Family's Eight Pieces of Brocade be considered a health Cultivation Technique? It would have killed people long ago."
Chen Rourou suddenly realized something else. "So, isn't it very painful when practicing?"
Chen Fenghua: "Not at all. It will be very comfortable because the Qi and Blood are soothed. Your whole body will feel invigorated, and you'll be full of energy."
Chen Rourou frowned, recalling the scene of Zhang Beixing's practice. It didn't quite match Chen Fenghua's description.
But she didn't dwell on it; after all, Chen Rourou's level wasn't high enough to discern much.
She then chatted and bantered with Chen Fenghua a bit more. When he asked when she would come home to surprise her grandfather, she quickly gave a perfunctory reply and ended the conversation.
Afterward, thoughts of Zhang Beixing's practice lingered in Chen Rourou's mind as she headed back to her dormitory to shower.
...
「At nine forty-one in the evening.」
ROAR!
