Chapter 102: Chapter 81: Cultivation Method Conversion

In response to his best friend's sincere advice, Lu Yuan expressed that he would definitely accept it with humility.

In fact, he also felt that he had been a bit indulgent these days.

He had agreed to only indulge for three days, so how could he have been immersed for ten days?

That was ten whole days.

When he thought about how he had spent the last ten days listening to songs and being a teacher, without practicing martial arts for even a day, Lu Yuan felt a bit guilty.

Over the years, he became accustomed to a daily routine and practiced martial arts accordingly; this was the first time he had neglected his practice for ten days.

It should be known that the last time he went to see Miss Xiao Hong, he only stayed for seven days.

Moreover, at that time, he was learning Taoist Classics, which fundamentally belonged to martial arts practice and thus did not neglect his true calling.

“Could it be that I've degraded?” Lu Yuan couldn't help but think, then quickly shook his head.

How could that be?

He would never degrade himself; it must have been that the demonesses like Xiao Li had cast their charm spells on him, bewitching him.

“Yes, that's it, there's no doubt about it.”

As Lu Yuan continually reaffirmed this, the guilt in his heart suddenly reduced by more than half.

After leaving the Red Phoenix Building and returning to Sun Residence, Lu Yuan's life returned to normal.

The martial arts practice he had abandoned was picked up again.

However, although he resumed martial arts practice, his daily schedule had subtly changed.

The reason was simple; Lu Yuan had mastered the Cloud Palm Mental Technique.

Cloud Palm was originally just a second-rate martial skill; the Mental Technique recorded in it had only three levels, each level practicing two meridians.

Before he went into seclusion, Lu Yuan had already practiced the third meridian. After obtaining the Blood Jade Centipede and using this Divine Blood Variant to cultivate the Divine Medicine, his strength significantly increased.

Basically, one piece of Divine Medicine helped him break through a meridian.

Lu Yuan went into seclusion for four days and consumed four pieces of Divine Medicine, breaking through a total of four meridians.

As a result, the six meridians recorded in the Liuyun Palm Heart Method were all completed.

From then on, he needed to cultivate other techniques.

It was for this reason that, although there was still one piece of Divine Medicine left, Lu Yuan did not continue to go into seclusion.

Because he had already cultivated all the meridians he could. Continuing to take the Divine Medicine would only increase his Inner Strength and have no other effect.

Using such a valuable medicine to help break through and only using it to increase Inner Strength would be too wasteful.

“So the next priority is to first understand the Replenishing Qi Heart Sutra, a first-rate Mental Technique, and grasp the operating principles of its meridians before cultivating it.”

Lu Yuan confirmed his next plan and began to execute it.

As a first-rate Mental Technique, the content recorded in the Replenishing Qi Heart Sutra was undoubtedly more profound and subtle than the Cloud Palm.

The most obvious point was the various Taoist-specific terms that almost ran through the entire Mental Technique.

Every page, every line, contained various Taoist terms, with numerous metaphors, literal meanings, and real meanings.

It was for this reason that, despite having received this Mental Technique for three months, Lu Yuan was still unable to begin practicing it.

This was not because he didn't want to, but rather because he hadn't learned it properly and didn't dare to practice recklessly.

Practicing martial arts was not a safe thing.

One misstep could lead to meridian disorder, which was life-threatening.

“In the coming days, I must find someone to systematically teach me Taoist Classics. Otherwise, relying solely on learning by myself, my progress will be too slow.”

Lu Yuan also studied on his own during his daily life.

Every day after practice, he devoted the time from 8:00 to 10:00 pm to self-study.

During this time, he would read the Taoist Classics he had collected, as well as some miscellaneous and unusual books of this world, to enrich his experience as much as possible.

But again, relying solely on self-study and with such a short time, the results were not significant.

After four years of study, it was already a stretch for Lu Yuan to complete Cloud Palm's Mental Technique.

Now, trying to practice the higher-level Replenishing Qi Heart Sutra required more than his current abilities.

“However, finding a good teacher to study Taoist Classics is an issue. The choice of candidate is a problem…”

When Lu Yuan thought of a teacher, the first person that came to his mind was Sun Siwen, who had been teaching supplementary courses to all the scholars in the county these days.

But as soon as Sun Siwen came to mind, Lu Yuan ruled him out.

“Brother Sun won't do. Although he's a juren and knowledgeable enough, his learning is focused on Confucian classics and doesnt involve Taoism.” Lu Yuan recognized Sun Siwen's knowledge.

However, he was not a superhuman who had mastered all three religions; he was just a scholar who was proficient in Confucianism.

Although Confucianism and Taoism had some connections, they essentially belonged to two different schools, and there were significant differences between them. Turning to Sun Siwen would only lead him in the opposite direction.

Other than Sun Siwen, Lu Yuan couldn't think of anyone suitable for the job.

“Forget it. I'll study the Replenishing Qi Heart Sutra myself for a little while longer and become more familiar with it, laying the foundation. A few days later, when Brother Sun has some time off, I'll ask him if he knows any Taoist experts nearby.”

Lu Yuan suppressed his impatience and began to focus on studying the Mental Technique.

Although his foundation in Taoism was not deep, after four years of study, he had some groundwork in place.

When it came to the first two superficial layers of the Mental Technique, he encountered little difficulty in learning them.

So for Lu Yuan, now was the time to start practicing, transforming the Internal Strength of Cloud Palm according to the circulation route of Replenishing Qi Heart Sutra's Internal Strength, and breaking through once again.

These tasks were not difficult.

After all, the human body has only twelve main meridians and specific acupoints, which are fixed. The circulation routes of various Mental Techniques must pass through those meridians and acupoints.

The only differences were the order, route, urgency, angle, etc., of the circulation of Inner Qi.

However, these differences were secondary and belonged to the realm of details.

For martial artists, the real focus was to open up acupoints and connect meridians.

Having connected six meridians by now, Lu Yuan had overcome the most challenging aspect of martial arts, with all the corresponding acupoints broken through.

At present, all he needed to do was to adjust his Internal Strength once more according to the habits of Replenishing Qi Heart Sutra, change the nature of his Internal Strength, and complete the transitional cultivation of the technique.

Although this process was a bit tedious, it was not difficult and merely time -consuming.

According to Lu Yuan's estimate, it would take about a year to complete the transitional cultivation of the Mental Technique, which was already fast, considering the substantial differences between the two unrelated Mental Techniques.

“So I still have a year of buffer time. Within this year, I can first transform the Internal Strength of the six meridians, and then continue to practice more advanced Mental Techniques after the transformation is complete.”

As there was still plenty of time, Lu Yuan was not in a hurry.

Moreover, having broken through to a second-rate Internal Strength, his own abilities had significantly improved, and the pressure to ensure his safety was greatly relieved in the short term.

As a result, his pace naturally slowed down at this point.

After all, one cannot always be on edge..
