nChapter 63: Qi Gatherer Realm

nIn the back mountains of the Lian tribal clan, Yi Yun could see the rising black smoke from afar. He could not see the position of the fire, but he could guess what had happened.

nHe only sneered and said nothing.

nHe was planning to bring Jiang Xiaorou out of the vast wilderness, so it was alright burning the house!

nYi Yun closed his eyes and began expirating the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.

nOnce his meridians were opened, he could expirate.

nExpirating was the absorption of Heaven Earth Yuan Qi. After completing one circulation, the energy would be discharged from the pores and subtly transform the body and was a cumulative process.

nAnd having opened up the meridians, they would be the channel for the flow of Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.

nLin Xintong’s meridians were dried up, so the biggest problem was not being able to expirate the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi, unable to freely use the energy in her body.

nBut even under such restrictions, Lin Xintong could still obtain her present day martial arts achievements. It was an amazing feat.

nYi Yun did not know this and he was sitting in a trance like state, and began expirating the Yuan Qi.

nExpirating may seem simple, but it was not. It was a process that tests talent.

nA person without talent would never be able to enter a trance like state. They would feel like time passes extremely slowly. After twenty hours, or even a day or two of cross-legged sitting and expirating, it would be too boring. Most people would lose their patience after doing this boring thing for long periods of time.

nEspecially the hyperactive children would not be able to endure this.

nBut, if one could reach the trance like state, then the concept of time will be lost. In a blink of an eye, several days would have passed. And the person expirating would feel like he had just taken a nap.

nAs for Yi Yun, he was currently in such a state.

nYi Yun’s constitution was that of a normal person. But his soul was different from others. He had extraordinary perceptivity and Yi Yun had the Purple Crystal hiding within him.

nThe Purple Crystal was a divine artifact that was related to energy. A person’s body has “Spirit”, “Qi” and “Soul”. In the flesh was “Spirit”, while the soul was about the “Soul”, as for the energy, it was “Qi”.

nBy using the Purple Crystal to gather Qi, Yi Yun could do it easily!

nThe speed at which he absorbed the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi or the circulation speed within his meridians were far faster than a normal person.

nAs such, Yi Yun had completely forgotten the concept of time.

nFrom sunset to late at night, from late night to dawn…

nThe mountain was chilly, and Yi Yun’s clothes were wet from the chilly air. A layer of white frost had already crystallized on his hair.

nYi Yun had previously warned Jiang Xiaorou not to look for him, and to wait without worry in the tree house.

nThere was plenty of food in the treehouse which Jiang Xiaorou could prepare when she was hungry.

nAfter sunrise, the sun rose in the vast wilderness. It was a beautiful picture as the golden sun climbed up with difficulty. The horizon appeared to be coated gold by the sunlight. The entire mountain had seemed to been revived as they welcomed the baptism of the golden sunshine.

nYi Yun remained motionless. His young face greeted the rising sun as if many light dots were jumping on his skin.

nAfter sunrise, it was midday, followed by evening and into the night!

nYi Yun had sat there meditating for a day and a night without taking in a single grain.

nHe was like a piece of rock that never moved. But if you had Yi Yun’s vision, you would see numerous light dots flying towards Yi Yun, covering his entire body.

nHis body’s meridians had became crystal clear from the flowing golden light. Under the light, it was as if he had turned transparent.

nYi Yun could even see the insides of his body, where the shining meridians formed a perfect meridian graph.

nThis was a mesmerizing scene.

nSlowly the lights Yi Yun could see grow thicker. His meridians were becoming brighter and brighter and his body was getting hotter!

nIn Yi Yun’s mind, various images appeared. They were the moves of the ‘Dragon Rib Tiger Bone Fist’ playing out like a movie in his mind.

nIt was as if Yi Yun was cultivating himself in a spiritual world, and he kept doing each stance of ‘Dragon Rib Tiger Bone Fist’ without tire.

nBehind Yi Yun were the shadows of a dragon and tiger, each taking a side.

nYi Yun’s condition became more and more mysterious. He could feel that his body was being pressed and his cells were continuously compressed, and solidified. His bones became heavy and his blood had became similar to mercury.

nAfter Dragon Rib Tiger Bone Fist, Yi Yun began practicing the Elephant Swallowing Technique!

nThe Elephant Swallowing Technique was not a fist technique, but a set of moves and this set of moves was extremely mysterious, even more so than ‘Dragon Rib Tiger Bone Fist’!

nElephant Swallowing Technique was extremely high in energy consumption. Under the situation of a body’s energy being drained, the body would reach a state of absorbing energy from the external world where it welcomed all.

nYi Yun was now like a sponge, and he was in the energy ocean freely absorbing its power.

nAfter the Yuan Qi accumulated to its maximum and Yi Yun having performed Elephant Swallowing Technique and Dragon Rib Tiger Bone Fist for the umpteenth time–

n“Peng!”

nSuddenly, Yi Yun heard something explode in his body. A raw and sweet breath surged up Yi Yun’s throat, and with a open of his mouth, “Wah”, he had vomited a large mouthful of black blood!

nThis mouthful of black blood was extremely thick and sticky. After vomiting it out, Yi Yun felt full of energy, like nectar raining down his head, drenching his whole body.

nHe opened his mouth and the nectar would enter his mouth!

nThis was not an illusion. It was his tongue feeling it, because even Yi Yun’s saliva tasted sweet like nectar. Swallowing a mouthful made him extremely relaxed and comfortable!

nYi Yun knew that he had reached the fifth level of Mortal Blood, Qi Gatherer!

nQi Gatherer realm was the transitionary border between the Mortal Blood realm and the Purple Blood realm, the process where a person’s body could shrug off their mortality!

n“Wonderful! It really feels wonderful!” Yi Yun suddenly opened both his eyes. His eyes flashed like lightning and his gaze would shoot out like lightning, piercing through darkness.

nHe jumped up and looked like a tiger living on the rocks!

nHaving reached the Qi Gatherer realm, Yi Yun felt his body full of energy. He casually lifted his right leg and stomped down!

n“Boom!”

nThe black ironstone by his feet was stomped open by Yi Yun’s foot.

nSeeing the cracked piece of rock, Yi Yun was very satisfied.

n“My strength is many times stronger than when I was in the Meridians realm! Not even a thousand pound cauldron, lifting even a five to six thousand pound cauldon would be no problem.

nWith his strength reaching six cauldrons, or six thousand pounds, it was no wonder the rock was shattered as a six thousand pound object would cause the same damage when dropped from a height..

nIf that six thousand pound object had reduced its size to that of a fist, it would be terrifying.

nAnd with Yi Yun’s ‘Dragon Rib Tiger Bone Fist’, the fist would be way stronger than his body’s strength by several times.

n
