Chapter 82 - 61: Replenishing Qj Heart Sutra
Looking at the “Replenishing Qi Heart Sutra” in his hand, Lu Yuan’s eyes instantly became burning and his breathing a little rapid.
No wonder he was so excited.
Last time, he killed Ma Ji Qing and got a second-rate technique, the “Cloud
Palm.”
Now, a direct disciple of the Iron Sword Sect is dead. Could this “Replenishing Qi Heart Sutra” be a higher-level technique?
Lu Yuan’s heart was pounding, his hand trembling as he opened the book and started to read the secret manual.
Introduction, general principles, meridian circulation, Qi regulation techniques…
With each page and sheet of paper, a vast amount of content entered his mind as he flipped through the pages.
Finally.
A moment later, Lu Yuan gently closed the book and carefully tucked it into his chest, his heart beating wildly, his face full of excitement.
“A first-rate mental technique, a first-rate mental technique, I can’t believe I actually got such a chance.”
Recalling the content he had just read, he could not help but feel overwhelmed.
Even though he had only skimmed the surface, Lu Yuan could already confirm that this “Replenishing Qi Heart Sutra”—undoubtedly—a top-notch first-rate mental technique.
Originally, he was a little worried that the Cloud Palm Heart Method has already reached the third meridian, and the remaining three meridians could be practiced within five or six years.
At that time, where would he go to find a new advanced technique?
Now it seems that there is no need to look for advanced techniques; just switch to this Replenishing Qi Heart Sutra.
“No, switching is possible, but I must not leave the Cloud Palm Method behind,” Lu Yuan suppressed his excitement.
The “Replenishing Qi Heart Sutra” is just a mental technique and does not have corresponding martial arts moves. Practicing this secret technique can only increase one’s inner strength and has no other means of dealing with enemies.
However, the “Cloud Palm” is different. It not only contains palm skills but also has a corresponding internal cultivation method. Only when the two complement each other can it be called a complete second -rate martial art.
With only the “Replenishing Qi Heart Sutra,” it can be called a first-rate mental technique, but it is far from being a first-rate martial art.
Therefore, while practicing the mental technique, one must not neglect the Cloud Palm skill. Even to complement the palm skill, the Cloud Palm Heart Method must be continued to maximize the power of this martial art. “But with this, the workload has significantly increased.”
Lu Yuan thought about practicing the Cloud Palm alongside the Replenishing
Qi Heart Sutra and felt a headache coming. However, he soon felt relieved, “Fortunately, I have longevity and an unlimited lifespan. Otherwise, ordinary people would not be able to handle it.”
If an ordinary person were to practice two mental techniques simultaneously, it would undoubtedly be an incredibly time-consuming and foolish thing to do.
Take the Cloud Palm Heart Method as an example.
Ordinary talent cultivation requires three to four years to practice one meridian. Even talented geniuses need two years. Thus, to complete all six meridians, one would need at least twelve years at the earliest.
On this basis, you still devote time and energy to learning a new mental technique. Even if the two mental techniques assist each other and can get twice the result with half the effort, it will undoubtedly increase the time for yourself to breakthrough the realm.
But a normal person practices martial arts to stand out and make a name for themselves in the Jianghu, enjoying an illustrious life.
Who wants to wait until their forties or fifties to achieve great success in martial arts if they can achieve it in their twenties or thirties?
Even if they can be successful, how many years can they enjoy success?
Therefore, for ordinary martial artists, the best solution is to specialize in one mental technique and other martial arts moves that complement it.
Before mastering one mental technique, they will not consider practicing a second one.
“So for me right now, Cloud Palm is still the main focus. The Replenishing Qi Heart Sutra can only be a supplementary practice for when I have spare time,” said Lu Yuan, organizing his thoughts and making plans for the future.
For him at the moment, the most important thing was to improve his strength as much as possible to protect his own life.
As for other potential abilities, relying on his long lifespan to endure, he would naturally endure through it.
The Replenishing Qi Heart Sutra can be practiced slowly after completing the Cloud Palm and encountering a bottleneck.
Thump—
Turning his head, he only then realized that the sound was coming from inside the room.
“Xiaoqing! ”
Lu Yuan suddenly woke up and remembered that he had been preoccupied with future plans and secret books. He had forgotten about the only survivor, Zhou Qing, in the house.
Feeling a bit ashamed, he hurried towards the room.
When he entered the room and came to the side room, he saw Zhou Qing’s struggling body on the ground and the broken stool nearby.
“Xiaoqing, are you okay?” Lu Yuan quickly went over to help him up and asked with concern.
“Brother Lu?” Zhou Qing’s voice was very weak. Seeing the visitor, he paused and then immediately asked, “My father and Ping’er, are they all right?”
Facing Zhou Qing’s hopeful gaze, Lu Yuan hesitated, not knowing what to say. Because no matter what he said, it would be a devastating blow to the young man.
However, upon further thought, he decided to tell the truth because the other party had to face it sooner or later: “Doctor Zhou and the others… ”
A moment later, Lu Yuan recounted his plan with Doctor Zhou, what had just happened, his discovery of Guan Yunfei’s identity, and so on.
“That’s it, you should grieve… ”
Looking at Zhou Qing, who was completely stunned after hearing the whole story, he sighed and patted his shoulder.
Zhou Qing suddenly woke up, his eyes red and crazed, “No, you’re lying. My father can’t be dead, Pinger and the child in her stomach can’t be dead. They’re out there, you take me to see them, they’re still alive.”
Looking at the agitated Zhou Qing, Lu Yuan remained silent.
He didn’t say much, only supporting him to walk outside the courtyard. Then…
Looking at his father soaked with blood and lying on the ground, and his wife nailed to the wall in the kitchen, Zhou Qing, who was just full of madness, was instantly dazed again.
His eyes were lifeless, his face pale, and deathly dull…
All the negative words Lu Yuan could think of could be applied to Zhou Qing at this moment.
A silent tear slid down the young man’s cheek.
This kind of pain from losing one’s family and the pain of extermination, Lu Yuan had not experienced and did not know how to console. At this time, words were merely weak consolation.
He could only quietly support him, waiting for him to recover.
After a long time.
The silent and lifeless Zhou Qing finally made a sound. He whispered hoarsely, emotionlessly asking, “The person who killed my family, Guan Yunfei, is he from the Iron Sword Sect?”
Lu Yuan nodded, “Yes, he is a direct disciple of the Iron Sword Sect.”
Zhou Qing hummed, then turned his head to look at Lu Yuan and said, “Brother
Lu, I want to learn martial arts.”
Lu Yuan readily agreed, “Of course, I’ll teach you.”
Zhou Qing could no longer hold back his tears, crying out loudly, “Father…
Ping’er…. “
