The Flute Groaning From Mount Han.
Chapter 4.
Zhaolong was very surprised to find that the basic breathing technique was very useful, in his previous life the martial artists learned the breathing technique because it was so important.
Without breathing exercises, under hell mode exercises to forge muscle flexibility wouldn't they be out of breath after a few minutes?.
The basic breathing technique is divided into 3, the first is a body breathing technique that inhales air from the nose slowly and exhales it back slowly through the nose.
The second is chest breathing, used to stabilize breathing that has not been stretched.
The trick is to breathe air through the nose quickly for 2 times and exhale it back through the nose quickly as well.
And when the third breath requires to breathe slowly and exhale slowly as well.
This rhythm is known as the basic breathing technique 23, 2 times fast and the 3rd slowly.
The last or third part of the basic breathing technique is the abdominal breathing technique.
A martial artist before attacking will take a deep breath and hold it inside the abdomen to harden the abdominal muscles as a defense when attacking.
It could be said that all martial artists knew this, so well it could be said that breathing techniques had hundreds of branches and dozens of different paths.
When using the first basic technique, Zhaolong who was practicing swordsmanship felt true qi enter his body and was purified automatically.
This discovery certainly made him happy, as normal cultivators needed to meditate to absorb true qi before sorting and refining it into pure qi of his own.
Although the first basic breathing technique did not make the pure qi that Zhaolong absorbed enter his qi pond, it did, but it is distributed throughout the body as if this qi would be disposable qi which if not in use it will disappear after some time through the pores in his body.
Doesn't this mean that as long as Zhaolong uses the first basic breathing technique when fighting, it's not, as long as Zhao was still breathing naturally he would never run out of qi energy to use in combat even though in the record the consumption of qi energy did not exceed the amount that the body was able to absorb each time it breathed.
If the expenditure of qi energy during one breath is 5 and the absorption of qi energy is only 1 isn't this effect useless?.
The originally happy Zhaolong began to stabilize again and increase his control over pure qi.
After 4 months had passed, Zhaolong had entered the 3rd level qi development stage.
The qi pond that originally contained only a few drops of pure qi now looked like a puddle of water after the rain.
Not only had his cultivation increased, now Zhaolong had discovered the basic water-type breathing technique! Which he realized accidentally.
"Flowing calmly like water, it becomes a symbol of breathing naturally and slowly without burden.
Clear and holy refers to as long as using this technique must not have any feelings.
But sharp is able to break the stone even bring disaster, a sign that the calm and pure-looking water is able to produce the ability for its users like an unstoppable tsunami.".
"First basic breathing technique, water branch breathing!.".
Zhaolong who used the water branch breathing technique started to look calm as if emotionless, her eyes and facial expression looked so calm and even it was too calm to look like a puppet!.
Zhaolong's body began to be enveloped by pure white-colored energy, his movements calm yet flawless.
The calmness in battle helps one to choose thousands of options when attacking or defending.
While people who panic when fighting will follow the instincts and habits of the body.
This was an advantage, when the enemy could only think of 2 options to dodge, Zhaolong had hundreds of ways in his mind to choose how to dodge even plan a counterattack.
"The basic breathing technique of pertampa, breathing this branch of water will I refer to as the basic breathing technique of the water branch.".
Zhaolong had been training for so long but his progress felt so slow, whereas from a mortal human being to a 4th level qi development stage cultivator in a year was already very fast.
"The lack of water-type qi aura seems to be very influential with my cultivation speed at the qi development stage.".
Zhaolong who was contemplating to find a solution to his problem began to recall things that could accelerate his cultivation speed such as alchemy pills, monster origin stones, or even heaven and earth treasures.
"Unfortunately I am just an ordinary young man, if my life were a novel.
I honestly want to condemn the author, how can I write a transmigration story without a golden finger or a chance meeting.".
Zhaolong began to stand and look at the river at the foot of the waterfall.
If he wanted the monster origin stone to speed up his cultivation, then Zhaolong could only hope to meet some weak monsters who had developed the monster origin stone.
Slowly Zhaolong walked along the river.
After walking for about 2 kilometers, Zhaolong saw a snake that reached 3 meters long lying on a tree branch.
The snake has a white color with a bluish pattern.
Luckily, the snake looks to be sleeping.
"The stomach of this snake looks big, it seems that he is sleeping to digest his prey.
Well, since today I am lucky then I will double the training agenda.".
Zhaolong started the basic breathing technique of the water branch, Zhaolong's aura and qi looked as calm as water.
If one were to use qi to check on Zhaolong's state, they would be shocked because Zhaolong did not have a human breath.
It was as if Zhaolong was the incarnation of water, and that water was Zhaolong himself.
With the pure qi he manipulated to cover and strengthen his soles, Zhaolong walked on a tree quietly.
The sword of my rose began to slowly break from its sheath.
The sleeping serpent seemed to sense Zhaolong's presence and began to open his eyelids.
However Zhaolong's speed when slashing exceeded the reaction speed of the white snake monster.
"Yuuzzzh... Crashes.".
The head of a snake as big as an adult's thigh fell from a tree.
Zhaolong who realized his plan was successful, jumped off the tree trunk and landed on the ground steadily.
Approaching the head of the snake and beginning to inspect, Zhaolong found a thumb-sized gem inside the snake's forehead.
"Of course, this weak monster had just solidified the origin stone.".
Zhaolong could only be patient and hope that after entering the forest outskirts without light he would easily find some water-elemented monsters.
After absorbing the thumb-sized monster origin stone, Zhaolong again walked down the riverbanks.
Zhaolong saw a frog jumping over the river, after jumping from one leaf to another the frog stopped as if attracted by something.
"craaack.... Ciiiiiit.".
Zhaolong who was about to continue the journey stopped when he saw a water plant prey on the frog.
Before realizing his ordinary talent, little Zhaolong learned many things about the cultivation world such as the types of plants needed by alchemists and types of monsters.
"Water ginseng?.".
"Not to be mistaken, this is a water ginseng herbal plant. Which comes from the cabbage family, ginseng water in previous life commonly called wasabi.
Plants are expensive and the most difficult to cultivate because they require an environment with a very clean moisture content, not to mention if it is exposed to too much sunlight it will die and if it lacks sunlight it will wither.".
Realizing that the plants on the banks of the river were water ginseng plants, Zhaolong began picking them one by one.
"Although the amount is small, it should be that this water ginseng can help my cultivation go up.".
Zhaolong sat down cross-legged again and consumed the water ginseng, absorbing the water-pure pure qi from the plant.
Zhaolong's cultivation began to surge from the 3rd level of the qi development stage to entering the fifth stage, the qi pond inside Zhaolong's body that was originally just like a puddle of rainwater had now widened to the size of a private pool.
Zaolong who felt the qi pond in his body had widened began to return motivated to look for water origin stones as well as spiritual plants that stored a lot of pure spiritual qi of water.
"Alright, it's time to train your body and sword skills.".
Zhaolong returned to the cave he lived in to make a scratch on the wall as a sign that this day had passed.
In this world the count of days changed when the sun began to sink, like the middle easterners in Zhaolong's previous life.
In a world without a clock as a time marker, Zhaolong could only make a simple scribble on the cave wall as a guide to how long he had been practicing.
The next day Zhaolong started down the riverbank in search of spiritual animals, spiritual plants and treasures of heaven and earth.
When night had come, Zhaolong would return to rest for a while before practicing the sword technique.
Zhaolong spent his day like that every day without slacking off a single day.
For him who has lived 2 lives, there is no more interesting things in the world that can make him happy.
Even he now lives because he is not dead, for him to live in this foreign world alone without loving anyone like hell for him.
Zhaolong was not afraid of death at all, but in the near future he did not plan to die.
Zhaolong still had a grudge to be avenged, not a grudge against the petty bandits who were in the realm of body forging.
But take revenge against the world or universe that does not allow her lover to exist.
He would tread the path of cultivation to become a supreme existence and destroy this universe with his own tag.
After 1 year of undergoing the same routine to practice and develop qi collans, Zhaolong cultivation level has now been at the 9th level of qi development stage.
Tomorrow is that day, the day Zhaolong lost his future wife and parents.
Zhaolong began to walk down the hill towards the high hill town that had now become a dead city.
"1 year ahead of schedule.".
The promise of entering the sect after training for 2 years was shortened to 1 year.
In just a span of 1 year, the originally mortal Zhaolong had reached the stage of final level qi development!.
During the return trip, Zhaolong placed a bamboo flute on his lips and began chanting a song.
Zhaolong's qi aura began to condense and gradually formed a white mist figure, the appearance of the fog was like a girl with long hair.
It was just that his face and body color that was formed by pure qi was watery to be transparent white.
The girl who was shaped by the qi aura started to wrap her hands around Zhaolong's neck.
Along the way, Zhaolong continued to play his flute as if comforting the spirit of his beloved on the day of his death.
The gentle breeze that makes the trees dance accompanied by the chirping of birds makes the Zhaolong flute game look syahdu.
If any human were to see Zhaolong now, they would believe that a god descended from the upper world.
The whimpering of the flute is able to make natural phenomena, plants and animals feel the pain and begin to moan.
The morning sun that emitted a warm light began to appear, Zhaolong was now in a dead city that was previously called the city of Sinji hill.
With the roses he brought, Zhaolong began to head to the tomb of his future wife.
Arriving at the meal Zhaolong began to clear the thickets that had now covered the five tombs.
Slowly Zhaolong went to the tomb of his future wife and placed a handful of roses that he brought.
Lovingly and with glassy eyes Zhaolong stroked the grave sign and kissed it.
"Please be patient Mitha, it won't take long before we unite.
Wait a minute I'm in nature there, after destroying this universe I'll see you back soon.".
"Do you? Dear.
Your once-ordinary husband-to-be has now become a qi development stage cultivator from ordinary humans in just 1 year.".
"When normal mortal humans begin to cultivate, it takes 10 years to reach the realm of qi development.".
"I'm sure, if you were here you would feel proud to have a future husband like me haha...".
"Although cultivating is boring, painful and exhausting.
But I never complain, because the grudge in my heart does not allow me to complain about anything else.".
"After this I plan to go to the immortal bamboo sect to join the sect.".
"With the guidance as well as the resources of the immortal bamboo sect, at least my path of cultivation will be easier.".
"No need to worry, I won't fall in love with any girl anymore.
For you have occupied all the emptiness in my heart.".
Zhaolong told a long story in front of the grave of his future wife, ranging from everyday life to the things he ate for the past year.
After spending time pouring out his grief, Zhaolong began to stand up and was about to walk away when he heard a woman whisper in his ear.
"Sister Zhao, be careful.".
After a year of soaking in grief Zhaolong finally smiled back.
Zhaolong knew that the only sound he could hear was a voice
his beloved who had been imprinted in his heart even to the recesses of his heart, a voice which he longed for day and night.
