The Rise of the Dragon Warrior
True Qi
For the matter of inner power or Qi, Master Lin Kun did not mind it because to gather Qi was not an easy matter.
In fact Shen Long had just figured out a way to improve his Qi, the quality of his body and soul from the knowledge of the Dragon Spirit.
But to improve everything was very difficult, because Shen Long had a different way than other Cultivators.
" Longer's... For now I will give you the basic materials. Maybe when you were 7 years old, you were only given basic lessons to improve your cultivation and practice techniques. Because in general to learn physical reinforcement, bones and Souls are only given to students who are ten years old. As for cultivating inner energy or Qi is only taught when it is 15 years old." Said Master Lin Kun.
" To understand about physical, bone and Soul reinforcement, a genius Cultivator takes five years to reach the Bronze Star. Whereas you already have bone quality on par with Spirit Stars, but are a little unique." Master Lin Kun shook his head, even he himself did not know clearly the bone quality of Shen Long's.
It was actually because Shen Long learned the Foundation strengthening Technique belonging to the Spirit Divine Beasts where he now already possessed the bone quality of the Young Dragon.
" But for your physical and spiritual qualities, it still seems to be very weak." Master Lin Kun was very regretful for ten years Shen Long was not taught in the slightest.
Without waiting for long, Master Lin Kun directly taught the art of breathing to Shen Long in order to improve his physical and soul qualities as well as the quality of bones. Even though Lin Kun already knew the quality of Shen Long's bones was so terrible, yet he did not go through such basic teaching.
While Shen Long himself looks so enthusiastic about demonstrating the way the breathing art is taught, even though he has a different way.
While demonstrating the art of breathing, Lin Kun also told him that a faster way to improve physical and bone is by practicing, fighting and using Resources.
As for improving the quality of the soul, you must use meditation for years or use Resources.
But unfortunately to obtain Resources is not easy, because it is very expensive and rare where the Thousand Sword Sect itself has not been able to provide it because the Thousand Sword Sect is not like other Sects.
The Thousand Swords Sect tolerated many of its Disciples if they had difficulty paying the monthly fee, which would slowly be unable to supply the Sects need to purchase Resources or Pills.
Not many Elders and Teachers chose to leave the Thousand Sword Sect, for various reasons ranging from the demands of life and certainly to their development as well.
Now the Thousand Sword Sect only left descendants of the founder of the Sect itself, but it was not uncommon for the original descendants of the Sect founders to come out with the same reason for the sake of development.
The Thousand Swords Sect which was originally the Great Sect of the Neutral flow, had now turned into a small Sect and left behind only a few old buildings.
That was why Patriarch Yan Ran could only reach the 3rd level Sacred Swordsman, as for the Elders could only reach the level 2 Sacred Swordsman and for the Masters themselves including Lin Kun only reached the level 1 Sacred Swordsman.
All of that is because they do not get adequate Resources, where they set aside some of their money to help the needs of students.
One wish of the Thousand Sword Sect's attendant was to obtain a genius disciple capable of lifting back the glory of the Thousand Sword Sect.
That way it was not impossible for the Nobles family, even the Empire's Royal Party could provide support to the Thousand Sword Sect or at least be able to gain the confidence to escort or obtain missions.
Because for decades the Thousand Sword Sect had not been glimpsed at all by the Nobles or the others.
Shen Long was indeed unaware of the situation, but when his intelligence came he assumed that the Thousand Sword Sect was in decline due to lack of funds.
While demonstrating the respiratory arts taught, Shen Long intended to make the Thousand Swords Sect return at the peak of its glory.
" Longer's... I didn't expect you to be able to learn it so easily in just a few hours. Even genius cultivators take months to learn the art of breathing perfectly." Said Lin Kun while glancing towards Shen Long.
" Thank you for the Teacher's praise. But I'm too late to study, because I'm 17 now." Shen Long.
" It doesn't matter Long'er... I'm sure you can catch up with the others, even surpass the others." Said Lin Kun.
" I hope so is Teacher." Shen Long.
"Now I'm going to teach you how to gather inner energy or what is often called Qi." Lin Kun finished his previous training bringing Shen Long sitting on a large rock behind a large tree.
Shen Long followed what Lin Kun said and took a seat near the big tree.
While Lin Kun immediately sat on a large rock where the top looked flat.
Without waiting for long Lin Kun directly explained about how to gather Qi. Inside the Qi itself was divided into four parts like what Shen Long learned from the Dragon Spirit.
" Longer's... In the four parts of Qi itself, you have to make a choice so as not to interfere with your development in the future." Lin Kun reminded Shen Long.
" Good Teacher." Shen Long replied, even though he was actually using the most difficult True Qi of the other Qi.
" Mm-hm... Now close your eyes! I'll give you directions so you can absorb the natural energy." Said Lin Kun.
With a small nod Shen Long immediately took a cross-legged sitting position and closed his eyes.
" Now feel the energy of nature that is all around. If you have sensed that natural energy, then absorb it and gather it into your Dantian. This process is more difficult, but I'm sure you can do it." Said Lin Kun while guiding Shen Long's absorption process training.
Hearing the direction, Shen Long immediately focused his mind while feeling the natural energy around him.
Without waiting for long Shen Long directly absorbed the natural energy then gathered in his dantian that was below the center point.
Lin Kun who realized that Shen Long had already absorbed the natural energy, now immediately rounded his eyes because Shen Long was very easy to do.
In the knowledge of Lin Kun, a genius Cultivator needed three days to absorb the natural energy.
But this time right in front of him, the figure of the Youth who was so easy to understand the absorption.
" Rightly genius. I have to hide this to anyone. Otherwise, many Great Sects would be eyeing him." Lin Kun was unrelenting with his admiration for Shen Long.
Getting this, Lin Kun immediately focused his mind on checking out what kind of Qi Shen Long was wearing.
' True Qi? This is hard to believe. This young man chose the most difficult way. If Like this, even a genius was only able to gather one Qi circle for two weeks.' Lin Kun nodded his head.
" Longer's... I don't know what you're thinking about going this hard way." Lin Kun muttered reopening his eyes.
