Chapter 117 The Secret of the Innate, Another Breakthrough_2
"Master, now that you are also of the Innate Realm, you shouldn't have to be so wary of other Innate Realm experts, right?" Lu Qing asked.
"Your master I, how could I compare with other Innate Realm experts?" the elder doctor said with a bitter smile, "This old man is just a doctor, not good at fighting or killing, how could I possibly be an opponent for those Innate Realm experts who have been cultivating from a young age, coming all the way through battles?"
"Wouldn't it work even with the legacy left by Senior Li Weitian?"
The elder doctor was taken aback.
After a moment of silence, he finally said, "That's the only option left, I guess. However, the cultivation technique left behind by Senior Li Weitian is extremely mysterious, and I don't know if this old man can learn it."
"You definitely can, Master. You were able to cultivate to the Inner Organs Perfection realm with just the Nourishing Body Boxing technique. Surely, Senior Li Weitian's cultivation technique won't pose a problem for you!" Lu Qing immediately flattered.
"Stop feeding me delusions, your master knows his own limitations," scolded the elder doctor with a laugh.
But given the current circumstances, he had no choice but to give it a try.
To see if he could learn one or two simple cultivation techniques from the inheritance left by Senior Li Weitian.
He didn't seek to defeat the mysterious Innate Realm expert, only to gain a bit more strength, enough to protect both his disciple and him, as well as the villagers of this hamlet.
Seeing that his master intended to cultivate the legacy left by Li Weitian, Lu Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew his master's temperament.
Without a bit of pressure, his master would prefer to study medical skill even after his breakthrough, and would not think of cultivating Li Weitian's cultivation techniques so quickly.
As for whether his master could learn the techniques from the Jade Scroll, Lu Qing wasn't worried at all.
His master was able to deduce a refined Internal Organ cultivation technique like the Nourishing Body Boxing from an incomplete technique without any martial arts heritage.
And in such a short time, he had penetrated the Innate Technique left by Li Weitian, forged Divine Soul Power, and stepped into the Innate Realm.
In any case, his master could be considered an out-and-out martial arts prodigy.
It's just that his master had always been engrossed in medical skill and didn't have a clear understanding of his own talent.
"Master, the disciple knows that the Innate True Qi cultivated in the Innate Realm comes with attributes. May I know what attribute your Innate True Qi is?" asked Lu Qing.
"My Innate True Qi has not yet gained an attribute."
However, to Lu Qing's surprise, the elder doctor shook his head.
Seeing the astonishment on Lu Qing's face, the elder doctor smiled.
He knew this disciple of his, although he had obtained many Innate Realm cultivation techniques, still had only a superficial understanding of many matters of the Innate Realm.
After all, the path of cultivation is deeply mysterious, and there are many aspects one cannot fully grasp without personally experiencing that realm.
Put simply, if the realm is not reached, no matter how much one knows, one cannot comprehend thoroughly.
"There's nothing difficult to understand about this."
"The human body is mysterious beyond measure. Aside from those with extraordinary talents or born with disabilities, normal people have all Five Elements Qi within their bodies circulating endlessly, which keeps them robust, spirited, pain-free, and healthy. How can there be any distinction of attribute?"
"The description in the records, that the True Qi attribute of the Innate Realm is innate, is actually the result of intentional cultivation by the cultivator."
"The Innate True Qi initially cultivated in the Innate Realm is without attributes, like the dawn of heaven and earth, a blank slate of purity."
"Only through subsequent cultivation do Innate Realm Martial Artists combine True Qi with Divine Soul Power, utilizing cultivation techniques, and selectively refine Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi from the outside world, allowing their Innate True Qi to be infused with attribute qi."
After ascending to the Innate Realm, the elder doctor had a very clear understanding of many cultivation knowledges narrated within the Inheritance Jade Scroll left by Li Weitian. Enjoy new stories from My Virtual Library Empire
Thus, he eloquently shared his insights with Lu Qing.
"Master, you mean that after breaking through to the Innate Realm, the choice of which cultivation technique to practice is the key to determining the attribute of one's True Qi?" Lu Qing suddenly understood.
"Exactly, everything in the world can be divided into the Five Elements, and the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi is no exception. What attribute of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi the Innate Realm chooses to refine is the key to determining the attribute of one's True Qi," the elder doctor nodded.
When the Divine Soul Power emerged from the Hundred Convergences Point and sensed the colorful Primordial Qi between heaven and earth, the elder doctor's knowledge of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi deepened significantly.
"Then, is it possible to refine all the Five Elements Primordial Qi together, so one's True Qi also incorporates all five elements?" Lu Qing speculated.
"In theory, it is possible, but a person's energy is limited. Refining one type of qi might already consume most of the cultivation time of those in the Innate Realm. How could there be more mental energy spared to refine more Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi?"
Lu Qing also realized that made sense.
Grasping too much yet unable to digest, the outcome of excessive greed is often gaining nothing at all.
If cultivating all Five Elements were so easy, then the Innate Realm Cultivation Techniques of this world wouldn't be differentiated by attributes.
"Then Master, what Cultivation Technique do you plan to practice?"
Lu Qing knew that among the inheritance left by Li Weitian, there were several Innate Realm Cultivation Techniques.
Their attributes varied from one another, and it was unknown which one his Master would choose to practice.
"I have not yet decided, I still need to consider it further," the elder Doctor shook his head.
Having stayed at Half Mountain Small Courtyard for a while and seeking guidance from his Master about the Innate Realm, Lu Qing gained a deeper understanding of the realm before departing with Little Li and Little Yan.
The Master had just made a breakthrough and needed time to close up and digest the insights from the breakthrough; it wouldn't be good for Lu Qing to disturb him for too long.
However, before leaving, the elder Doctor also warned Little Li not to become too unruly just because it could turn invisible.
It turns out that Little Li and Little Yan were playing catch in the courtyard, where Little Li had once again used its invisibility skill to play hide and seek with Little Yan.
Yet the now Innate Realm elder Doctor pierced through the mystery of its invisibility with a single glance.
This made Lu Qing shiver inwardly, knowing that his previous guess was right.
Little Li's ability to turn invisible couldn't deceive the perception of Innate Realm Experts.
Likewise, he also knew that, seemingly cautioning Little Li, the Master was in fact admonishing him not to rely too much on Little Li's invisibility skill to embark on more dangerous ventures.
After all, when he recounted the rescue of Ma Gu and others, he mentioned how Wang Qingshan was slain by Little Li.
Since returning from Half Mountain Small Courtyard, Little Li and Little Yan had begun to feel sleepy.
Lu Qing knew this was because both little creatures had absorbed quite a lot of the Primordial Qi White Mist from the Master's breakthrough.
This Primordial Qi White Mist, formed by the condensation of the Heaven and Earth Laws, contained an extremely gentle and rich life energy, a unique substance second only to Earth Vein Spirit Liquid, and greatly beneficial to the human body.
Even a few strands absorbed by an ordinary person could strengthen the body and eliminate illness.
Let alone the large amount that the two little creatures had absorbed.
Feeling sleepy was because their bodies could not fully digest so much Primordial Qi mist at once, necessitating sleep to slowly process it.
Even Lu Qing now felt a tremendous energy stirring within him that he was finding hard to cope with.
Lu Qing sent the two little ones to bed to rest, and after ensuring they had fallen asleep,
He went to the courtyard, assumed his stance, and began to practice Nourishing Body Boxing.
Once his body was in motion, the energy formed by the Primordial Qi White Mist found an outlet.
It started to integrate into his Qi-Blood, sinews, bones, and even deeper into his body, as Lu Qing's Heart and Spirit directed it.
Doing so not only rapidly strengthened Lu Qing's body once more but also filled it with an even greater vitality.
This cultivation session ran uncommonly long for Lu Qing.
He practiced the Nourishing Body Boxing back and forth, again and again.
He cultivated from when the sun blazed overhead until dusk fell.
If it weren't for the villagers often seeing Lu Qing practicing boxing in the courtyard, they might have wondered if he had gone mad.
Still, seeing him practice for such a lengthy period made some villagers worry about whether his body could withstand it.
Neighbor Zhang, from next door, came out several times to the edge of Lu Qing's courtyard, watching with concern as Lu Qing practiced his boxing with complete absorption.
If not for the fact that Lu Qing's complexion showed no signs of abnormality, he might not have been able to resist speaking out to interrupt him.
Lu Qing paid no attention to these things.
Deeply immersed in the cultivation of Nourishing Body Boxing, he was in a wondrous state.
Finally, as the last sliver of the setting sun disappeared, Lu Qing's body shook, and his bones and muscles suddenly crackled with noise.
