Chapter 27 The First Revolution
Returning to his courtyard, Li Guanqi found his master waiting at the entrance.
Haha, dont you want to test those techniques that you acquired? said the old man, chuckling softly.
Li Guanqi led the old man into the hall.
I obtained a damaged scripture, he admitted with an embarrassed tone.
Hearing this, Li Nanting frowned, questioning, You didnt get the Primordial Heavenly Thunder technique? Its alright. When you reach the Foundation Establishment stage, Ill take you to some auctions to try your luck and maybe find better techniques.
The comforting words warmed the young mans heart. As for why he chose this technique, he couldnt tell the old man yet.
The old man didnt leave just yet. Instead, he brought Li Guanqi into the meditation room. Li Guanqis courtyard had a sizable meditation room provided by the sect, which he hadnt had the time to take advantage of yet. In the room, the old man embedded ten low-grade spirit stones into the spirit gathering formation with a wave of his hand. Instantly, the spiritual energy in the room became richer.
Ill guide you through the technique to ensure there are no issues with your first exercise, said the old man.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m
The young man began reading the Nine Revolutions Thunder Scripture without hesitation. The explanations in the manual were somewhat obscure, but Li Nanting patiently explained, pointing out the key points in the bodys meridians.
However, Li Nanting didnt dare to reveal too much at this point. Knowing too much would only harm his disciple. He only needed to explain how to manipulate spiritual energy and the meridians involved in cultivating the scripture.
After half an hour, Li Nanting confirmed that Li Guanqi had grasped the proper circulation of energy within his body. At this point, Li Nanting reiterated the key points of the technique several times. He then lit a calming incense in front of Li Guanqi, and the faint smoke made the young man feel clear-headed with fewer distracting thoughts.
The old man remained silent, sitting quietly on the side, watching Li Guanqi and stayed ready to act at any moment. By this time, the spiritual energy in the meditation room had become extremely dense. Li Guanqi sat cross-legged, assuming the proper posture, not immediately starting the practice as per the old mans advice.
He remembered the old mans instructions the first time practicing the technique was crucial. The most important aspect was to guide the spiritual energy or heaven and earth within the body to circulate along the route described in the technique, creating a full cycle within the body.
The old mans eyes showed a hint of regret.
If Li Guanqi got injured at this moment, he would be guilty of crippling a generational talent.
As Li Nanting was pondering what to do, Li Guanqi was completely focused on breaking through his meridians.
With each meridian he opened, he sensed subtle changes within his entire being.
Li Nanting nervously endured for a full hour. Unexpectedly, the spiritual energy in the meditation room transformed into a stream-like flow and surged into the young mans nostrils. The old man widened his eyes in disbelief!
Originally, Li Nanting thought Li Guanqi would exit the meditative state after breaking through a portion of his meridians. But the current situation indicated that he had already cleared all the meridians within his body!
Moreover, he had begun the circulation of the first revolution! As he was about to complete this revolution, Li Guanqi turned pale, and his figure swayed slightly. A violent surge of spiritual power erupted from within him!
Almost instantly, the old man appeared behind him. He lightly patted Li Guanqis back, and a surge of pure elemental force entered his body. Then, a resonant voice echoed in Li Guanqis mind.
Guard your soul, concentrate your mind!
Li Guanqi felt the surge of pure elemental force within him, and all the fatigue in his body vanished instantly. Using this force, he pushed through and circulated a full cycle of the Nine Revolution Thunder Scripture in one go.
After completing this cycle, Li Guanqis dantian made a faint sound. The sound was subtle, akin to a bubble bursting. His dantian instantly expanded several times, and the technique operated faster within his body, slowly becoming a natural function.
All the remaining spiritual energy in the meditation room was absorbed by him. Through the scriptures profundity, it gradually transformed into a milky-white mist that flowed into his dantian.
As Li Guanqi was busy absorbing this spiritual energy, neither of them noticed a flash of crimson on the sword coffin placed by his feet.
