Chapter 491 Moving the Mountains (1/2)

Shen Lian laid on his right and closed his eyes. A strand of his fair fell from the side of his face. He looked refreshing.

Lei Jing was overcome by lust. However, she was intelligent and managed to shake off her lustful feelings. She realized how she did not hear Shen Lian breathe.

Thinking that it could not be right, she walked closer to Shen Lian who was on the couch. She focused on listening. She heard hundreds and thousands of tiny sounds of breathing; it was a beautiful symphony of melodies that hinted at something profound.

Shen Lian was breathing through all the pores on his body instead of his mouth and nose.

Daoist termed breathing through mouth and nose as external respiration while breathing through the pores was termed as internal respiration, which was also known as Guixi. The divine turtle led a long life due to its breathing technique.

Shen Lian's blood flow was close to being stagnant. The breathing of his pores caused the Qi of heaven and earth converging to the surface of his body. This was just as how iron would be purified gradually when under pressure, turning it into the purest of steel.

Extracting the impurities in one's body via this method would get progressively difficult, but a strong command of the technique would enable one to have a body as pure as glass. The benefits were endless.

For the entire night, Lei Jing was experiencing Shen Lian's method of breathing - internal respiration. She tried for countless of times and ended up turning into a red tomato when she held her breath for too long. Moreover, it was extremely uncomfortable for her. As she repeated her attempts, she found herself being able to hold her breath longer and longer. Even though her pores did not loosen, she was able to prolonged her breathing period significantly.

Moreover, she noted down Shen Lian's unique characteristics as he slept, ranging from the twitching of a tiny muscle to the sound of his organs and the crack of his bones.

Shen Lian slept soundly for the entire night. Lei Jing had bloodshot eyes and she looked exhausted.

Shen Lian looked at her exhausted state and pretended to not know anything, ”Jing Er, did you sleep well last night?”

Lei Jing was thinking how could he address her in such a loving manner; she found herself suddenly angered and said, ”I slept well.”

Shen Lian gave a gentle knock on her head and spoke, ”Only when you could truly sleep well that you can consider yourself having mastered the lesson last night.”

Lei Jing blushed and retorted, ”Teacher, even if I have learned the way your sleep, there is no immediate beneficial effect. Moreover, the Dao formula Wu Ding is cultivating seems powerful. If I lose, it will be your reputation that is on the line.”

Shen Lian replied, ”Forget about it. Address me as ”Sir.” Being addressed as ”teacher” makes me feel old.”

Lei Jing spoke, ”Sir, do you have no plans to teach me something else? I am aware that you know some powerful Celestial Arts. Why don't you teach me those?”

Shen Lian smiled, ”I do know plenty of Celestial Arts, from something as simple as turning beans into soldiers and riding the clouds, to something as complicated as summoning the rain and the wind or moving the mountains and the seas; I know all of these. Would you like to learn?”

Lei Jing spoke, ”Turning beans into soldiers and riding the clouds? I will pass. Although, I would love to learn how to summon the rain and the wind, or to move the mountains and the seas. I wonder if I would be able to master them in three months?”

Shen Lian chuckled, ”Do you know how long have I been cultivating before I could move the mountains and the seas ?”

Lei Jing replied, ”How long?”

”Twenty over years,” Shen Lian answered.

”That is long,” Lei Jing replied with a pout.

Shen Lian spoke, ”The speed of my cultivation was considered as fast. With your potential, you might not even succeed after a hundred year of cultivation. Do you still want to learn?”

Lei Jing looked at Shen Lian and herself before speaking, ”Is there that big of a difference

?”

Shen Lian stared at her chest and spoke meaningfully, ”Indeed, there is.”

Lei Jing gritted her teeth, then she thought of something. She spoke, ”Sir, you claimed that you could move the mountains and the seas. I don't believe you. Why don't you prove your point by moving a mountain?”
