Chapter 37 Practice
"Bang!"

The sword in Ji Qingqing's hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound that echoed in the evening breeze.

She unconsciously opened her mouth slightly, and froze on the spot.

With its long, curved eyelashes, it stared unblinkingly at the branch embedded in the rock, remaining silent for a long time, as if frozen in place.

Ji Fuyou did not urge him.

He knew that anyone who saw such a scene that did not conform to the laws of physics would inevitably have their values shaken, and their brain would be unable to process this unprecedented signal for a while.

So he waited patiently.

It lasted for at least ten seconds!
Ji Qingqing suddenly took long strides, reaching the rock in a few large steps. She unconsciously tapped the rock with the branch stuck in it with her finger...

"Dong dong!"

"Why!?"

She didn't scream until the pain from her fingers hitting the hard stone reached her brain.

I couldn't help but wipe my fingers.

The pain finally brought her back to her senses.

She couldn't help but gather her skirt, holding it up with one hand, squatting down, and touching the stone, feeling its hardness and coldness with her fingertips: "Really...really a stone!? Not a plastic prop!?"

Then she grasped the branch that Ji Fuyou had just broken off from the tree and examined it carefully...

"The tree branches are real too."

Throughout the entire process, Ji Fuyou watched quietly.

Seeing Ji Qingqing, who is usually very opinionated and decisive in everything she does, suddenly acting like a naive little girl, touching and rubbing against everything, I felt for a moment...

She's quite cute.

After a while, she seemed to finally realize that Ji Fuyou had actually used a freshly broken branch to pierce a meter-square rock.

For a moment, she couldn't help but tilt her head back and stare at him curiously: "How did you do that?"

"As long as your hands are steady, accurate, fast, and you have enough strength, you can do it easily."

As Ji Fuyou spoke, he gripped the branch and pulled it up sharply.

"Zi!"

Amidst the flying sawdust, he managed to pull the branch out of the stone without breaking it.

"Let me see, let me see."

Ji Qingqing quickly reached out to take the branch.

Ji Fuyou smiled and handed her the branch: "Want to learn? I'll teach you."

"study!"

Ji Qingqing's bright eyes sparkled: "After learning this sword technique, if anyone dares to harass me or even lay a hand on me, I'll stab them to death with one sword!"

"Harassment..."

Ji Fuyou suddenly realized that making money in any industry is not easy.

"That's not important! What's important is that this is the scene I've longed for since I was a child!"

Ji Qingqing looked at Ji Fuyou: "Little You, does martial arts really exist in this world?!"

"Martial arts..."

Ji Fuyou knew what Ji Qingqing wanted to ask.

There's no such thing as internal force or true qi.

There are indeed different terms for Ming Jin, An Jin, Hua Jin, Dan Jin, and Gang Jin.

but……

Even Lu Xingchen, who had mastered the internal energy, would be hacked to death by ten armed men.

Even the Dan Jin and Gang Jin, which are said to be the strength of a true immortal on land, would be unable to stop a bullet in modern times.

However, considering the mystical nature of the Source Crystal and the future glimpsed in the dream...

"Have."

Ji Fuyou Road.

"Okay, shall we start practicing now?"

Ji Qingqing's eyes were full of anticipation.

"can."

Ji Fuyou explained his understanding of the "path of cultivation": "Rather than martial arts training, I prefer to call it cultivation. The path of cultivation is divided into dynamic exercises and static exercises. Dynamic exercises train strength, while static exercises refine the spirit."

In his view, physical and mental health should not be separated.

The right path is to cultivate both simultaneously.

Leopard-man, human-skinned spider, and mutated giant scorpion all possess advantages in both spirit and physique.

"It's still early. Since you've decided to practice, I'll first explain the different types of force in dynamic exercises. Later, I'll explain static meditation to you. I'll also try to use hypnosis to guide you into a meditative state."

"Okay, I'll follow your instructions!"

Ji Qingqing nodded vigorously.

Then, as if realizing something, he asked, "Won't this affect your cultivation?"

"No, you should focus on improving your general knowledge over the next month or two."

Ji Fuyou said, "Also, you should be prepared that it's normal not to learn anything in a month or two."

“I know,” Ji Qingqing said. “If martial arts were really that easy, there would be an abundance of martial arts masters in the world.”

"Ah."

Ji Fuyou had no doubt about Ji Qingqing's ability to execute.

He has indeed been laying the foundation for Ji Qingqing over the past month or two.

after all……

The white source crystal still had an effect on him, so he wanted to use it himself first.

The stronger he is, the more efficiently he can hunt down ferocious beasts.

After a month or two, when the white source crystals no longer have any effect on his improvement, he will provide some white source crystals for Ji Qingqing to refine.

At that time, she made remarkable progress in both her internal energy training and meditation.

The explanation and practice continued until after 10 o'clock.

"I never imagined that there were so many inside stories about martial arts cultivation. I had no idea beforehand."

Ji Qingqing felt a pang of emotion.

"Martial arts training is too niche."

Ji Fuyou replied.

It is only in recent years, with the emergence of Source Crystal, that it has gradually been revitalized.

In the past, its popularity was nowhere near that of sports like football and basketball.

"Xiao You, you were able to pierce through rocks with a tree branch in just over half a year... You said before that you have a high talent for martial arts, is that true?"

"Ah."

Ji Fuyou responded.

He no longer needs mental techniques; relying solely on the keen perception brought by his 16-minute mental power, there are very few intermediate martial artists who can defeat him.

If he prepares a Soul-Suppressing Spell beforehand, even a sub-advanced martial artist with a Spirit stat below 10 can defeat him.

It's no exaggeration to say that he is exceptionally gifted.

“You’ve been practicing dance for years, so you have a great sense of balance and you must have some talent. But I’ll be away for a few days, so I’ll teach you properly then.”

Ji Fuyou added, "Everyone has their own strengths. You can achieve great success in the live streaming industry, and I can still forge my own path in my spiritual practice."

Ji Qingqing looked at the hole in the rock and nodded cautiously.

"I believe!"

"so……"

Ji Fuyou reached out to touch her head... but found that their height proportions were a bit off.

So he put his arm around her shoulder and said earnestly, "If anything happens in the future, tell me. Don't bear it all alone. I can think of a way to help you."

Ji Qingqing met his gaze and suddenly realized...

It turns out that he had grown up without anyone noticing.

She even felt that her younger brother had become much more handsome, whether it was due to the change in his spirit and energy brought about by martial arts training or the sense of security that had gradually grown in him.

After glancing at it a few times, she even unconsciously tilted her head to the side.

then……

His hand was on her shoulder.

And the real purpose behind his raising his hand...

She immediately sneered, "How does it feel?"

Feel?

Ji Fuyou was taken aback.

I didn't notice.

Ji Qingqing was wearing a dark blue off-the-shoulder halter dress today. From this angle, one could clearly see her fair collarbone through the lace petals, and...

The delicate feel of touching your fingertips.

Ji Fuyou pinched it.

"Old shoulders are extremely slippery."

He withdrew his hand and gave a serious evaluation.

"Old my foot! I'm only 24, how am I old!?"

"Hey, aren't you supposed to be an eternally 18-year-old beauty? Admitting you're 24 is practically admitting you're old, isn't it?"

"You're getting sarcastic."

The two quickly started arguing.

……

When Ji Fuyou said he had something to do these past few days, he wasn't just making empty promises.

After teaching Ji Qingqing for three days, he set off for Huanglong Cave.

Calculate the time...
