The Qing Clan training field.
A frenzied sound filled the training field. Many members of the younger generation clans practiced various kinds of training methods, such as match training, using combat techniques, physical training, there were also some who trained their concentration among the hustle and bustle of the training field atmosphere.
The atmosphere was so lively, making Qing Shandian and Qing Jun seem excited.
"Eldest cousin Jun, let's head to the training hall. I want to try running while carrying a load." Qing Shandian said in an impatient voice.
"Ah... Running and carrying loads? I'm not coming. I'll try another method to strengthen my physique." Qing Jun slightly startledly said as he shook his head.
"Hehe.. Okay, I'm going to Jun's oldest cousin." Qing Shandian replied as he stepped his foot towards the equipment hall.
Training Equipment Hall.
As soon as Qing Shandian entered, he saw an elder on duty. He walked up to her and greeted, "Greetings Elder Fan. I want to wear weights as my training equipment. Can Elder Fan help me?"
Elder Fan who was busy writing something looked up, he was startled for a moment before replying in a soft voice, there was a hint of joking in his words, "Oh... An'er, have you started your training? Isn't it too fast for you? And don't you usually prefer to visit the library?"
"Hehe... Elder Fan, I want to familiarize myself with the training from now on. I think physical exercise is also a good thing, right?" Qing Shandian replied while chuckling softly.
"Haha... Emm, it's also good for your development when you start cultivating. Physical training is also a strength of a person. With physical exercise, the stamina of the body will gradually get better." Elder Qing Fan replied in a warm tone. He stood up, and after a short pause, Elder Fan continued,
"All right, follow me. Choose the weight you want to use. Don't push yourself too much. Just get used to what you can bear, after getting used to it, then increase the level of weight." Shackle Elder Qing Fan while walking led Qing Shandian towards the load-storage rack.
Qing Shandian simply followed silently, nodding his head when he heard Elder Qing Fan's suggestion. On a shelf, there are various loads separated according to the level of weight. This load is like a small bag with four straps, which are used by being tied to the feet or hands. It may look small, not to the size of a palm. However, with the use of inscription symbols written, the small bag had a different weight.
Qing Shandian walked over, grabbed the load that was written 20 kilos, he lifted it, and he felt it was too light. Then he tried to lift that 50 kilos, he felt it was enough. He took two weights and tied them to his feet. He tried to move, and he felt he was still capable.
"Chairman Fan, I'll take this one. I think this is within my current capabilities." Qing Shandian said without looking at the stunned Elder Qing Fan.
"Ehem.. That, An'er ahh.. Are you sure you're wearing that burden? With the two loads you're wearing, isn't that 100 kilos? Are you sure?" Elder Qing Fan replied to Qing Shandian's remark with a back question.
"Hehe.. It's the best now. Alright, I'll start my training, Elder Fan. Thanks for helping me." Qing Shandian replied as he chuckled and waltzed away.
Elder Qing Fan was still in his shock. As soon as he regained his senses, he sighed while muttering, "Haih... What a determined boy. 8 Years old, it's like that."
Gazing at Qing Shandian's disappearing shadow, Elder Qing Fan with the interpreter please said, "Hopefully the Qing Clan can rise once more. Huhh..."
-------------------------
Qing Shandian who had arrived at the training ground did a short warm-up, before he suddenly started running around the training field which was quite spacious. (Imagine approximately 4 times the size of a football field)
An hour passed by just like that, many pairs of eyes watching Qing Shandian who had done many rounds of running around the field. Seen sweat flooding his forehead, his robe also looks like it is wet with sweat.
Qing Shandian stopped his training. He sat under a shade tree and muttered, "Huh... My stamina is so lame. I have to train my body often."
Not too long ago, Qing Shandian arrived at his house. He knocked on the door, opened it, and said, "Dad, mom, I'm home."
Hearing the voice of his son who had returned from his training, Lin Lianhua who was in meditation opened her eyes. He smiled and said, "How did you practice An'er? Did it go as you expected?"
Qing Shandian simply shook his head. He took a chair and sat down, saying, "Huh... My stamina's so lame, ma'am. Though I just ran around the training field with a load of 100 kilos. Really very ..."
Before Qing Shandian finished his remark, he got the tell from his father. "Ahhhhh... Why did you hit me?" With a frown he said.
"Basic boy! Why are you complaining? What if the young clan member hears you? Maybe they'll think you're a monster. How old areyou? What is your cultivation level now?... Basic, it's a good thing I don't hang on to your complaints." Qing Yuan said grumblingly looking at his son.
"Hide... It's true what your father said. In a person of your age, let alone 100 kilos, running with a load of 20 kilos they will quickly fatigue. So, don't complain about your strengths." Lin Lianhua said as she giggled softly.
"Ah.. Is it like that? But, even so, An'er was dissatisfied." Answer Qing Shandian. After a short pause, Qing Shandian looked at his father while asking in a serious tone, "Dad, is there some kind of Pill that allows me to speed up my physical strengthening during the training period? If this continues, my cultivation will be delayed. I don't want to be weak. I want to be strong as soon as possible and protect my family, protect my Clan."
Qing Yuan and Lin Lianhua were stunned for a moment, before they finally both smiled. There was a trace of satisfaction and pride in the look in their eyes. Qing Yuan looked fixedly at his son before saying, "Bas... Your journey is still very long, and there will be many difficulties if you want to protect all of us. But, I'm proud of you."
"So does mom. I'm so grateful to have you, An'er." Lin Lianhua said as she approached and gently rubbed Qing Shandian's head.
Qing Shandian who got the warm treatment attitude of his father and mother, he smiled. In his heart, the determination to protect the person he loved and cherish him grew even more burning. He said, "Thank you, mom, dad. An'er is also grateful to have parents like you. But, by the way, how's dad? is there some kind of Pill that can help speed up my physical strengthening?"
Seeing Qing Shandian's serious demeanor, Qing Yuan could only sigh and say, "Haiihhh... There is indeed a kind of Pill that you are referring to. That Pill was a Tier 2 Pill, 'Bone Marrow Strengthening Pills'. But, the material is hard to find. In the alchemy shop there were a portion of the ingredients they provided. But for the three main ingredients, we need to look for them. Among them, the 1000-year-old Water Ginseng, the Level 3 Spiritual Beast Marrow attribute of Intermediate Level Fire, and Blood Ganoderma were at least 500 years old." Qing Yuan explained.
"Then, what if we look for him? Is it possible to gather those three main ingredients? With father strength, it shouldn't be difficult right to look for the three main ingredients to purify 'Bone Marrow Strengthening Pills'?"
The current cultivation level of Qing Yuan was a 3-star Sovereign Level, while Lin Lianhua was at the 8-star Emperor Level... Qing Yuan fell silent in his muses upon hearing his son's question, then he replied, "Alright, your father and mother will be looking for those three ingredients. You should take good care of yourself when your father and mother go for ..."
Before Qing Yuan could finish his words, Qing Shandian interrupted him, "No, An'er will come with you looking for the material. Not that An'er wanted to be a burden to both father and mother during the trip, but according to An'er, this was also An'er's chance to train while getting to know the outside world."
Qing Yuan and Lin Lianhua looked at each other for a moment before fixedly looking at her son. Qing Yuan frowned before he breathed a helpless sigh and said, "Haahhhh... You're a boy... Alright, you can take part in this journey, but before that, you need to arm yourself with fighting techniques." Qing Yuan said in a serious tone.
Lin Lianhua added. With a gentle smile he said, "Right is what your father said. Even though your cultivation is still low, at least with you mastering the fighting technique, it would be useful if during the journey we meet a Low-level Grade 1 Spiritual Beast. And it will also help you practice how to best use the Qi in your dantian."
Qing Yuan nodded in agreement. He looked at his son who was in thought.
"Well, An'er will practice combat techniques before we travel. Ohhh... Wait for... Don't you know a lot of fighting techniques? Since I don't have any fighting experience yet, you should be able to recommend a technique that suits me, right?" Qing Shandian replied calmly, and asked by raising next to his eyebrows.
"Hehe... You are a child with a sharp tongue. All you're charging your father. You little boy..." Qing Yuan replied to Qing Shandian's words while pinched his cheek slowly.
Qing Shandian simply pursed his lips. After saying so, Qing Yuan retrieved the Engineering Manual from his storage ring. Gently, he handed it to Qing Shandian and said, "This technique is a Sword Technique, a High-tier Sky Grade Technique, 'Thousand Swords Split the Sky'. With your ability to reason and understand something, I'm sure, this technique will be able to master perfectly along our journey."
Receiving the technique manual, Qing Yuan slowly opened it. He firmly said, "Relieve father, I will soon learn and master it."
"Good... Now, clean yourself up, it's late afternoon. You can learn it slowly later." Said Qing Yuan with a smile on her lips while patting her son's shoulder. He was proud of his son's determination. Besides, Lin Lianhua only watched in silence. Qing Shandian replied with just a nod and waltzed away.
