Gula De Qianghua Jishu

chapter 4: ancient reinforcement techniques

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Qing Shui woke up naturally. She noticed that Qing Yi was sitting by her bedside, holding her hand. Signs of worry and fatigue were visible on her face, even her delicate and beautiful eyes had traces of blood in them!

After realizing that Qing Shui was awake, Qing Yi hugged him with a happy expression on her face.

“Shui’er, you finally regained consciousness. Do you feel okay? Is there any discomfort ?! ” Qing Yi excitedly asked.

“Dear mother ..” Qing Shui gently called out, his heart filled with gratitude. Knowing that Qing Yi had stayed up all night only to accompany her pulled the strands of her heart as bitterness filled her heart.

As she called out, Qing Yi could feel there was a hint of grievance and regret in her voice. In this world, as a man, if you can't resist others, then no matter how much money you have, you'll still be trash! Even those with low cultivation will have the right to trample you. This dog-eating-dog world just follows simple logic ‘may make true’.

Qing Yi hugged her son tightly, feeling that she had somehow let him down.

“Mother, go to bed. You must be very tired after staying up all night.” Qing Shui could only adopt a childlike way of speaking in an attempt to persuade Qing Yi to sleep. Even so, Qing Yi felt warmth in her heart and could tell that Qing Shui's intelligence was far above normal. It was a pity that he could not cultivate. If not for that, based on his high level of understanding, he would have been a genius. Not only that, he was ultimately the son born to her and the man..

But now. Sigh.. There is no point in regret..

In the end, she was still persuaded by Qing Shui and obediently lay on the bed. Just as Qing Shui wanted to get off the bed to make room for Qing Yi, he reached out and hugged his son. Qing Shui curled up near his chest and gently lay in his mother's arms.

Qing Yi immediately fell asleep. After all, he had been up all night and was very tired. Seeing that Qing Shui was fine, he was finally able to relax and fall asleep.

After waiting for Qing Yi to fall asleep, Qing Shui lightly stepped out of the room, enthusiasm slowly filling his heart. Now, he was no longer the trash he used to be! He felt that he had undergone a miraculous transformation. Perhaps now ...he could be like the others and start the path of cultivation. It didn't matter that he was a little older than the others when they started, as long as he had an unquenchable desire to succeed, then no matter how many obstacles there were in front of him, it would be no matter how many obstacles there were in front of him, he won't stumble!

Qing Shui wanted to test his hypothesis. As he stepped out of the Qing Mansion, he started running at high speed. At this moment, his heart was filled with doubt, he was worried that everything that happened would turn into an illusion, and his dream of cultivating would be shattered again.

With just a single breath, he managed to run half the distance to the top of the mountain. Even though he was panting, he did not feel as short of breath, as in the past. There is an incredible difference when compared to before! He felt that since last night, his body had undergone a phenomenal change. After pondering over it, he guessed it must be because of the Yin-Yang shadow that was now embedded in his sea of consciousness!

Qing Shui closed his eyes, slowly entering a state of mediation. His spirit gradually entered his sea of consciousness where he saw the Yin-Yang symbol again. The Yin-Yang Symbol rotated nonstop, emitting an endless stream of energy, slowly changing Qing Shui's body and organs.

During yesterday's fainting, a lot of information regarding foundation building and strengthening techniques had flowed into his mind. He had already decided there and then that he would use it to strengthen his constitution. Moreover, until now, she no longer had the same fragile and delicate body from before. The Yin-Yang symbol in his sea of consciousness was constantly giving him energy, slowly changing his body. He was certain that in addition to his current physique, by practicing the Ancient Strengthening Technique diligently, he would not need too much time before the quality of his body became stronger than ordinary cultivators.

Time passed quickly, dawn had arrived. Looking at the sun slowly rising, emitting its golden light onto the earth organism, the freshness of the air in these mountains as well as the fragrance of flowers and plants, they made one feel a sense of joy in one's heart.

The strengthening technique became the foundation of a cultivator, the technique that appeared in Qing Shui's mind was one of the most ancient strengthening techniques ever created by mankind. It could even allow cultivators who cultivated it to its peak to clash with gods and demons. It was not wrong to say that all reinforcement techniques had traces of their origin coming from the Ancient Strengthening Technique that Qing Shui was planning to practice. It is no exaggeration to say that this technique is one of the strongest techniques!

Practicing the Ancient Strengthening Technique could allow a cultivator to establish his constitution. The effect is somewhat similar to the Yin-Yang symbol that rotates and measures a seed inside him. The Ancient Strengthening Technique could also nourish one's bones and marrow, refine the organs in one's body, eventually developing muscles to be tender to the touch, and so on, but at the same time it is also able to rival the heaviest steel and iron!

This is what is meant by reinforcement techniques. They could even greatly increase the vitality of practitioners!

Qing Shui tried to recall the details of the Ancient Strengthening Technique. It seemed that he could do it easily, justifying the fact that he now had a eidetic memory! The Yin-Yang Symbol was also intertwined with him, continuously rotating within his sea of consciousness!

Qing Shui found a secluded place and went there to practice the Ancient Strengthening Technique. To practice it, one need not mediate. Cultivators only needed to calm their hearts and slowly twist the Qi within their bodies.

Qing Shui started to analyze and fumble the cultivation method of the Ancient Strengthening Technique. After trying to do so for some time, he was still unable to form a single strand of Qi. Qing Shui persisted because he knew that Rome was not built in one day. If it were that simple to become strong, the world would have already been filled with many experts!

Qing Shui continued to persist and continued to attempt to form strands of Qi repeatedly. Every time he failed, it only motivated him to try harder and harder.

Slowly, Qing Shui began to feel numb. He had tried this for what seemed like forever, but he was still unable to form that first strand of Qi!

After an hour had passed, Qing Shui opened his eyes and realized that it was almost noon. He knew that he had to go home soon, because he did not want Qing Yi to worry about him. Despite standing in this remote location all morning, Qing Shui wasn't tired at all! He began to slowly run back to the Qing Mansion.

After arriving at the Qing Mansion, Qing Shui realized that the training sessions for the Qing Clan's younger generation had not ended yet. Now, while watching them practice close combat skills and swordplay, he felt nothing. The feelings of envy and jealousy he had gotten while watching them had now been replaced with the determination to become stronger than them!

After entering the courtyard, he crashed into Qing Luo. “Qing Shui, did you go play again? You should rest more at home and take care of your body back healthy!” Qing Luo gently rebuked him.

“Grandfather, I just took a walk near the entrance of Qing Mansion, don't worry about me, I'm fine!” Qing Shui knew that his grandfather was really worried about him.

“En, you should be more careful. Today, I sent someone to the Hundred Miles City to purchase a 100-year-old purple ginseng stem. We will boil and extract the juice so you can eat it for dinner tonight!” Qing Luo said with a loving look in her eyes.

Qing Luo also knew that Qing Shui had incredible intelligence. Each of his sentences was spoken with clarity and intention, he was almost like an adult in terms of mentality. It was a pity that he could not cultivate .. Qing Luo sighed ..
