Chapter 173 Qi Concealment Technique
- We are dedicated to providing the most comfortable reading experience.
To be honest, although Yang Silang had been very polite to Liu Nian before, he was still somewhat wary of him.
The mere fact that one could study Taoist arts under the very nose of this Grandmaster of the Tower for so long was taboo.
His attitude towards this master can be summed up in eight words: respect him but keep your distance, avoid him if possible.
If he hadn't wanted to check on Granny Tianjing's recovery, he would never have come to her door.
Now that I'm sitting in the same room with the other person, I'm prepared to speak less and nod more, showing a respectful attitude towards my senior.
Grandma Tianjing said that this person has been in seclusion for many years and is rigid and stubborn. If he leaves a bad impression on the other party, it may not be so convenient for him to come to the tower again in the future.
After all, martial artists are limited to entering the tower once a month. He treated this place like a teahouse, coming here every few nights, which violated the rules and might displease the big shot.
To my surprise, the other person sat down and began to talk at length, initiating a lively exchange of words.
The first piece of advice is to break through as early as possible. It's a cliché, and everyone knows it, but is it that people don't want to? Obviously, they can't.
But the second method taught is to restrain one's qi and blood, which is the true release of goodwill.
Pretending to be weak while actually being strong is truly one of the most effective ways to navigate this chaotic world.
After Yang Silang broke through, his blood and qi were abundant. Under spiritual perception, he was like a furnace that was constantly emitting blazing flames, which was too conspicuous.
There are actually related martial arts in the Martial Arts Tower, but the problem before was that he felt his strength was too weak, so he wanted to learn the Five Elements Force and the Great Spear Technique. He hadn't even strengthened his body yet, so what was the point of considering the Breath Concealment Technique? That was just worrying about nothing.
Now, this method is very practical.
He had originally planned to visit the black market before leaving to find a similar cultivation technique, but it seems that he has saved himself the trouble.
"Please enlighten me..." Yang Silang's spirits lifted, and he said respectfully, "Today, Master Fu will be my teacher for a day, imparting his knowledge and resolving my doubts."
"If you achieve something in the future, you will be richly rewarded."
He reached into his sleeve and rummaged around, taking out a bottle of pills.
This is a Grandmaster-level Great Pill that he obtained in the snake cave, named the Qi-Stabilizing Pill.
This elixir is unique. It cannot increase a person's power, nor can it cure it, but it can lock a grandmaster's body's energy and blood at their peak state for up to a year after consumption.
It is especially suitable for grandmasters who are old and whose qi and blood are declining, to maintain and prolong their peak physical condition; or for grandmasters who are just one step away from becoming a master of the Golden Marrow, but are old and whose qi and blood are declining.
With it, you get an extra year of opportunity.
Sometimes, many people are simply lacking enough time.
Yang Silang originally intended to keep it and sell it at a high price on the black market to obtain resources for his martial arts training.
After only a few transactions, this pill wasn't particularly sought after. All the other pills obtained from the snake cave were sold, leaving only this one.
Perhaps there wasn't a Grandmaster in Jiangdong Province at that time who was about to break through to the next realm but was worried about not having enough time.
Upon seeing Fu Liunian before him, Yang Silang had an idea and took out the pill.
Fu Liunian is investing in his future, so why isn't he also investing in Fu Liunian?
An elder in the family is a treasure. This master of the tower has spent half his life in the Martial Arts Tower. He must be more proficient in all kinds of martial arts than Granny Tianjing. After all, he is a true human martial artist.
really.
Yang Silang opened the bottle, and a unique medicinal fragrance wafted out.
Upon hearing this, Fu Liunian's eyes lit up, his expression turned serious, and he became somewhat embarrassed, rubbing his hands together.
"Oh dear, young friend, I'll only teach you a convenient little trick, it's not worth this whole bottle of medicine."
Yang Silang immediately realized that the other party was very interested in the pill, but was too embarrassed to accept it.
He hurriedly reached forward and forcefully shoved the bottle of pills into the other person's hand, but Fu Liunian pushed him away.
The two remained seated, their four palms touching. At first, they pushed each other away, but then, one of them stirred his qi and blood, and true qi ignited between their palms, turning into a literary contest.
Yang Silang's hands emitted a faint blue water-elemental true energy as he used the Five Elements Fist's Softness Technique to send the medicine out. The grandmaster opposite him practiced ice-elemental true energy, and his palms were covered with a thin layer of white ice, which he used to deflect the pill back.
Unfortunately, the bottle of pills was sealed in a thin jade bottle. It was so strong that even if two grandmasters were to wrestle with it, two children could break it open by throwing it to the ground.
The two exchanged breaths of true energy, and thousands of pounds of force flowed back and forth between their palms. This was even though both of them had held back their strength during the exchange and did not use any superhuman force. Otherwise, a piece of steel would probably have shattered between their palms. They were purely focusing on the skill and gentleness of true energy.
The fragile jade bottle, amidst the blue and white true energy, was like a small boat tossed about on a vast ocean with raging peaks, at risk of breaking at any moment.
In this way, they exchanged dozens of moves.
Yang Silang's true energy had spread to his elbows, and was covered with a layer of ice. The opponent's true energy was icy cold, threatening to freeze the flow of blood and qi in his body.
On the other hand, Fu Liunian was not taking it easy either. White ice had already covered half of his forearms from his palms, indicating that he was taking the situation seriously.
A thought flashed through Yang Silang's mind, and he transformed his fire-attribute true energy between his palms, instantly removing the ice clinging to his body and forcing out the bone-chilling cold within him.

The two exchanged dozens of moves.
The jade bottle containing the elixir was right between their four palms; it was neither given away nor returned.
The two were secretly alarmed.
He is indeed a veteran master who is just one step away from becoming a Grandmaster of the Golden Marrow. His true energy and control are far superior to mine. However, if I use the Divine Strike to unleash my supernatural power and ride the Great Azure Dragon to combine human and demon into one, I should be able to fight him to a draw.
I was shocked! I had used ninety percent of my strength, and the kid opposite me, who had just become a grandmaster, was able to hold on!
Moreover, even after dozens of moves, his true energy showed no signs of weakening and even had a faint power to counterattack, truly living up to the reputation of the Five Elements Power technique, which is known for its powerful true energy.
Indeed, the new generation surpasses the old; this young man should not be underestimated, and he has also made a great contribution to society.
The other party is generous and not an ungrateful person, so it seems I can't just teach them a breathing concealment technique to fool them.
The two of them were slightly distracted, and their control over their true energy was not as smooth as before. In addition, the fire and ice true energy were opposite in nature, so the jade bottle made a series of cracking sounds, and cracks appeared all over it between the high temperature and the freezing temperature.
Both can only withdraw their true energy at the same time.
Yang Silang presented the jade bottle forward with both hands.
"Senior Fu, look, this is the will of Heaven. The jade bottle is covered with cracks. If you move it even slightly, it will shatter completely, which would damage the medicinal properties and be worse."
"Please accept it..."
Fu Liunian sighed. This time, he didn't refuse. He carefully took the jade bottle and unleashed his icy true energy, instantly freezing the bottle into an ice block.
Now there's no need to worry about the medicinal energy escaping and depleting the medicinal power.
He carefully put away the Qi-stabilizing pill, sighed, and shook his head.
"Young friend, this is too kind of you. I appreciate your kindness and will accept this generous gift."
"Don't call me senior anymore, just call me Brother Fu."
"Young friend, I should repay your kindness with kindness. I will find you a top-notch method of concealing your breath. Although it is difficult to learn, the effect will be different once you master it. Your true qi is abundant and it is perfect for you to cultivate. Please wait a moment."
Fu Liunian got up and left. A moment later, he came back with a scroll in his hand and casually nailed it to the wall.
The reel slowly unrolled.
Surprisingly, there was no faceless man inside, but an old tortoise hidden underground, painted with ink and brush, like a still painting.
Fu Liunian flicked his finger and injected his essence and blood.
As a result, the painting contained many more colors.
The old turtle came back to life.
He was seen breathing slowly and rhythmically, initially taking ten or so breaths at a time, then slowing it down to twenty or thirty breaths, and finally, his breathing became barely perceptible, with no visible exhalation or inhalation.
Within its core, a surge of vital energy, as vigorous as fire, lies hidden within its heart, never revealing itself. From the outside, this old tortoise appears as a brown rock, able to lie there for a long time until it merges with the ground.
at this time.
The tortoise in the picture transforms into a man lying on his side on the bed, his breathing rhythm changing from fast to slow, from slow to gentle, from gentle to extremely gentle, and from extremely gentle to barely perceptible. Even his heartbeat seems to be only slightly undulating.
A faint true qi originates from the dantian, mobilizing some of the body's qi and blood, flowing to the Baihui acupoint on the top of the head, circling around, passing through the Zusanli acupoint, passing through the Yongquan acupoint on the sole of the foot, and finally returning to the Shenque acupoint at the navel.
The Shenque acupoint is where the body stores Qi. When true Qi enters and returns to the Dantian, this trace of true Qi becomes more introspective and hidden, as if a portion of the body's Qi and blood has disappeared into the acupoints of the limbs and bones.
The person in the painting continued to cultivate for many years. At first, he had to practice on his bed, but later he practiced while sitting, lying down, and walking, watching the scenery outside the window and the changing seasons. Several more years passed.
On this day, he finally cleansed all his true energy from his Shenque acupoint. His true energy remained quietly in his Qi Sea, and his blood and Qi spread throughout his limbs and bones, making him look just like an ordinary person.
However, when they fight, their blood and qi are revived, and their true energy surges out, as if a seal has been broken. They have a more eager and sharp spirit to emerge from the world, and their killing power is even more ruthless.
More than a decade passed outside. One day, the man pushed his martial arts to a whole new level during his practice. Suddenly, he stopped breathing, his pulse, and his blood flow. Several days later, his family saw that he had not come back to life and, after confirming that he was dead, wept and buried him.
Unexpectedly, a dozen days later, he broke out of the coffin in the grave and crawled out. He looked much younger than before, and his cultivation speed improved by leaps and bounds every day, as if he had lived a second life. He became a genius in middle age.
His family and disciples were terrified. They confirmed that their teacher had been possessed by an evil spirit, so they reported it to the authorities. The authorities dispatched five grandmasters to kill the evil spirit. The teacher could not explain the situation and refused to surrender his fate to others.
So he went on a killing spree, killing several people and seriously wounding others before escaping. He was besieged by government experts, lacking medical care, medicine, and food. He managed to hide underground using his tortoise breathing technique to reduce his own energy consumption, heal his injuries, and slowly head towards a neighboring province.
Its presence was completely absent, fooling the hunting dogs. However, just as it was about to cross the blockade, it was simply bad luck that it encountered a male bear that was itchy and tried to rub against it, thus exposing its presence. It was then surrounded and killed by several grandmasters.
He couldn't bear to see his martial arts techniques lost, so he left behind some paper on his person beforehand, which is how they were passed down to later generations.
Yang Silang was speechless.
How wronged must the master who created this technique have been?
Because its kung fu was so effective, it was treated as an evil spirit.
Yes, it seems that not all pioneers have good outcomes.
