Chapter 6 - Blue Lotus Ar (2/2)
“Mother, then what is the stage of your cultivation? How many lotuses can you currently manifest?” Qing Shui asked.
Qing Yi bowed her head and said with a hint of embarrassment, “Only two at the moment…”
“Hmm, then how about Grandpa?” Qing Shui continued to ask.
“Your Grandpa has reached the the 3rd Lotus Manifestation stage. He is currently the strongest person in our Qing Clan, having reached the peak of Hou Tian stage.” Qing Yi answered.
“Then how many stages can the Blue Lotus Art be divided into? What is the highest stage one can cultivate to?”
“Our Blue Lotus Art consists of a total of 10 stages. At the Martial Warrior and Martial General stage, it is completely impossible to manifest any lotus. Only when one reach the stage of Martial Commander, 7th Grade, willone be able to manifest a single lotus. The second lotus is at Martial Commander, 8th Grade. And finally, the third lotus is at Martial Commander, 10th Grade! (peak of Hou Tian)
“Then, how did the ancestor cultivate to the stage of manifesting 9 lotuses?”
Looking at Qing Shui confusedly blinking his beautiful eyes, Qing Yi softly sighed… Although Qing Shui was very intelligent, she could not tell him of this right now..
“The cultivation methods for the later stages of the Blue Lotus Art have already been lost long ago.. Currently we only possess the methods up to the Hou Tian realm.. As for stages past the Xian Tian Realm, we have no idea on how to further proceed. That is why your Grandpa has been stuck at the peak of Hou Tian, unable to break into the Xian Tian Realm.”
“Mother will now instruct you in the beginning stance of the Blue Lotus Art.” Qing Yi stood up and motioned Qing Shui to follow her.
——————–
In the basement.
Qing Yi educated Qing Shui about the various meridians and energy channels within the human body. Prior to this, Qing Shui had already obtained this information from the Ancient Strengthening Technique, therefore it was easy for him to follow Qing Yi’s teachings. After listening to Qing Yi shareher knowledge, Qing Shui also gained enlightenment in terms of cultivating the Ancient Strengthening Technique
2 hours later.
When Qing Yi departed, Qing Shui was slowly entering into a meditative state.
Mediation, this was an quintessential practice in the way of cultivation. This was especially true when it came to cultivating higher-tiered martial arts. If one could not even calm one’s heart, one would not be able to go far on the road to become an expert.
Looking at the ease in which Qing Shui entered a meditative state, Qing Yi couldn’t help but be startled. His talent was really unbelievable!
Qing Shui was cultivating based on the oracular formula of the Blue Lotus Art, gradually entering into a state similar to when he was cultivating the Ancient Strengthening Technique, arriving in a realm of fantasy, as if his soul had been projected out of his body.
Eventually, Qing Shui could feel a strand of hair-thin Qi emerging from his Dan Tian [1], flowing along his energy channels and circulating around his body. This strand of Qi felt extremely fragile, as if it could break any moment.
Gradually, after the Qi had circulated for the full span of a single day and night, it flowed back into his Dan Tian.
Qing Shui has finally succeeded in condensing Qi! Happily, he open his eyes with a face full of elation.
“I imagine that if I told mother of this success, she would definitely be astounded.” he said with a grin.
