Chapter 162: Chapter 162: Primordial Qi Technique! Heaven Above! Earth Below!

Xiang Yue’s action was akin to providing charcoal in the snow for Chu Ming!

"Thank you, Master!" He clasped his hands again in salute, "The grace of Master, the disciple will always remember in his heart."

"Alright," Xiang Yue stood up, his expression serious, "Being able to break through from Strong Bone Perfection to Refining the Internal Organs in just a few days, your talent is extremely rare in the world, your disposition also reassures me as your teacher."

"By the way, regarding the Divine Mystery Bureau, I happen to have some understanding, I’ll tell you as well."

"The Divine Mystery Bureau in Xirong County should have five Primordial Qi Warriors, the strongest of whom may not even be my match, I heard they are recently collecting Primordial Qi Objects."

"Stronger than Master?" Chu Ming’s heart was shocked.

Xiang Yue chuckled softly, "It’s hard to say, they might even be stronger than me."

"Master, what are Primordial Qi Objects?" Chu Ming asked again.

Xiang Yue contemplated and said, "Specifically, I’m not sure, but I suppose it’s something rich in Primordial Qi, much denser than the Primordial Qi naturally found between heaven and earth."

He glanced at the sky and continued, "Next month, I will lead the expedition to attack Yangjia City of the Nine Hordes Kingdom. The affairs in the County City will have to rely on you."

"Master..." Chu Ming’s expression changed slightly, somewhat worried.

Xiang Yue waved his hand casually and said, "Attacking the Nine Hordes Kingdom is imperative, as the Commander of the Tiger Armor Army, it is my duty to personally oversee the battle."

"However, rest assured, I will not let Fang Xiao fall into danger."

Chu Ming was momentarily taken aback.

He was not only worried about Housekeeper Fang but also about Xiang Yue.

In Chu Ming’s heart, Xiang Yue, his Master, held great importance as well.

"Haha, don’t worry, it’s just Yangjia City, I am confident in taking it down." Xiang Yue tidied his clothes and prepared to leave.

"Master, wait for me." Chu Ming stopped Xiang Yue, ran into the house, and brought out a rather thick book.

"This is...?" Xiang Yue turned it open in confusion.

"Hmm?" As his eyes fell on it, his face instantly lit up with joy.

Chu Ming bowed with clasped hands, his voice steady, "I wish Master a triumphant return."

The content of the book was exactly the sections from the Mountain Scripture concerning the Nine Hordes Kingdom, detailing everything from human geography to combat habits and mount characteristics.

One could say this book was a strategic military manual thoroughly studying the Nine Hordes Kingdom.

"Good boy, you’re truly good at hiding, such a thick book, haven’t you already deciphered the Mountain Scripture?" Xiang Yue asked half-jokingly, half-surprised.

This book was something he compiled during his time in the County City, aside from practicing Inference Techniques, specifically for Xiang Yue and Fang Xiao.

Chu Ming smiled without directly answering, "Master, dawn is breaking."

Xiang Yue gazed at Chu Ming, a sudden shock in his heart, his eyes grew deeper, "Have you really deciphered the Mountain Scripture?!"

His previous words were a joke, tinged with amazement, but this sentence was uttered in complete shock.

Chu Ming looked at Xiang Yue and nodded.

Xiang Yue was the second person, after Fang Xiao, to know so many of his secrets.

"Haha, good!" Xiang Yue asked no more, satisfaction all over his face, "I will stay in the city for two more days, if anything happens, you can find me at the East City Xiang Family, I’m leaving."

As he finished speaking, his figure flickered, and in a few breaths under the hazy night, he disappeared.

Chu Ming maintained a respectful posture until the Sword Gourd Spirit could no longer sense Xiang Yue’s presence, then returned to the house with complex emotions.

On the table.

The two organ-refining body refining techniques were placed on the left, and the tattered Primordial Qi Technique was on the right.

Suppressing his curiosity, he didn’t choose to immediately look at the Primordial Qi Technique, but his gaze first fell on the two Organ Refining and Body Refining Techniques.

"Long Wind Body Forging Technique - Refining the Internal Organs..."

Just from the name, it was clear that this was the advanced technique for the Strong Bone Realm obtained from the Escort Master beheaded in Baiyuan County, also one of the only two circulated Organ Refining and Body Refining Techniques in Xirong County’s martial world.

He flipped through it quickly, in about half an hour, he finished reading the entire Organ Refining and Body Refining Technique.

Internally viewing the Sea of Consciousness, the Cultivation Technique Lake expanded, yet...

"Still not enough."

Without stopping, Chu Ming opened the other book.

"Cloud Crane Body Refining Technique - Refining the Internal Organs..."

Another organ-refining technique in the martial world of Xirong County.

Likewise, it took only half an hour to completely read through this technique.

Compared to the Tiger and Python Body Refining Technique, these two were much inferior.

Fortunately, each of the two techniques had its own strengths; they first condensed into fragments in Chu Ming’s Sea of Consciousness before finally falling into the Cultivation Technique Lake.

The Cultivation Technique Lake was enlarged, with the ripples on the lake’s surface, and the eleven-colored rainbow bridge above it solidifying more quickly.

Before long, the ninth color of the rainbow bridge was fully solidified, and the solidification speed of the tenth rainbow bridge did not decrease in the slightest.

Chu Ming’s mouth curved into a smile.

With these two major techniques, he finally had the confidence to deduce a complete technique for the Organ Refining Realm.

Outside.

It was as if the firmament had been forcibly torn open by some supreme existence, with the red of dawn slowly devouring the original black.

The day broke.

"Young master?" A somewhat thin Little Shan stood at the door, gently knocking on the door, "Breakfast is ready."

She had been up for a while and had already prepared the morning porridge.

Chu Ming glanced at the Primordial Qi Technique, then looked at Little Shan waiting at the door, "Coming."

Opening the door, today’s sky was particularly bright and clear, with the fragrance of osmanthus in the air being incredibly refreshing.

"Sleep a little more tomorrow."

While eating lukewarm morning porridge, Chu Ming picked a pastry for Little Shan, seeing the tiredness on her face, and spoke with some sympathy.

Little Shan was happy with the pastry, but then her face flushed with embarrassment, "I saw Young Master’s light still on, so tomorrow Shan’er must get up earlier than Young Master."

This silly girl...

Chu Ming picked another pastry for Little Shan.

He practically didn’t need to sleep now, how could this little girl compete?

"Young Master, you eat too."

Just when Chu Ming’s bowl of porridge was finished, Little Shan immediately filled it.

After seven or eight bowls, once Chu Ming was full, he returned to the house to start examining the Primordial Qi Technique.

"Profound Micro Primordial Qi Technique..."

The tattered technique barely had five discernible characters left.

"Primordial Qi..."

Chu Ming opened the cover and focused intently.

"Heaven and earth, the natural embodiment of Qi. Heaven covers above, earth lies below..."

Tattered, truly tattered.

There were less than twenty pages in total, and not a single page was complete.

With patience, he read through it, and within moments, the content of the Profound Micro Primordial Qi Technique was fully imprinted in his mind.

The content had very serious discontinuities, and Chu Ming combined what Xiang Yue had said, along with some guesses, to gain some understanding of this Primordial Qi Technique.

"Primordial Qi... spiritual power... communication... Primordial Consciousness..."

According to his understanding, the cultivation method of the Profound Micro Primordial Qi Technique requires figuring out ways to first enhance spiritual power.

There are many ways to enhance spiritual power, the most direct being to strengthen the body; if Qi and blood are sufficient, then the spirit is sufficient, that’s the principle.

Once spiritual power has grown to a certain level, one can sense the existence of primordial Qi between heaven and earth, the actual primordial Qi itself, not the transformed manifestations of primordial Qi.

The primordial Qi has always existed between heaven and earth, merely too weak.

To sense primordial Qi indicates the talent for cultivating primordial Qi.

Next, the cultivation technique needs to be paired to continuously enhance spiritual power, until spiritual power not only senses primordial Qi but can actively guide primordial Qi into the body.

At this point, spiritual power is no longer just spiritual power, but Primordial Consciousness.
