Your Wild Vegetable Soup Is Delicious
Oboro made a deal with this world.
He wasn't sure if the change was due to his own powerful soul or his identity as a transmigrator.
In short, he sensed it.
The greenhouse is like a dimensional barrier, the trees are like this world, and the branches, leaves, and fruits are like 'power', a system of power.
Strictly speaking, this is true of all worlds; the power system is an inseparable part of everything. From the perspective of dimensional space, the world of Demon Slayer could have grown into a stronger dimension, but it failed.
It still has a large potential.
"Perhaps it's because I possess a transcendent power, viewing the world from a superior 'angle,' that... it's presented more clearly," Oboro mused.
The sunlight shone on his face, leaving Tan Ping, who was standing next to him, stunned.
"What you need to do is get to know your own body... Don't just blindly follow this breathing and energy circulation method. There are countless meridians in the human body that can circulate, and you need to understand how to change them. Blood is the essence of flesh and also the vessel of qi. Wherever blood can flow, it can be stored, transformed, and released."
After speaking, Oboro stared into Tan Ping's stunned eyes, "You... remembered my breathing rhythm just now?"
Long's words were very tactful.
Tan Ping understood that the other person meant that the Sun Breathing had many flaws and was not perfect.
A powerful breathing technique is matched with the strength of the physical body, which is why Yoriichi Tsugikuni was able to create the Sun Breathing technique—because of his extraordinary physique.
The human body is a treasure trove... Without a top-notch body, it is absolutely impossible to create an exceptional breathing technique.
The man before them... though he appeared incredibly frail, his mastery of breathing... was even more terrifying than Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the benefactor of their Kamado Clan? How could this be?
Although Kamado Tanpei was unsure of Yoriichi Tsugikuni's true strength, the imprint on his soul... the figure that occasionally flashed through his mind, deeply affected him.
"Cough cough cough..."
The next second, Oboro suddenly coughed and covered his mouth with his hand.
"Grown ups."
Tan Ping was startled, then came to his senses and helped Oboro up.
"Although the circulation route of Sun Breathing has been changed to avoid physical trauma, the amount of physical exertion is still a bit too much for me to handle..." Oboro raised his hand to indicate that he was alright.
He meant that simply using the Sun Breathing would not cause any harm.
The addition of some gestures is simply to make it easier for Tan Ping to remember, in accordance with the style passed down from the Kamado Clan.
"In order to forcibly pass on this breathing technique, your physical body is already riddled with wounds that cannot be repaired... However, according to my modified method of breathing, it will allow you to live a little longer."
Oboro looked at Kamado Tanjiro and said, "Starting from the next generation, there will be no drawback of shortening one's lifespan."
"..."
Tan Ping also looked at his son.
Immediately afterwards, two maids came over and put the haori back on Oboro.
Long bent down, picked up a stick, walked to the snow on the side, and drew a detailed and clear meridian diagram.
The Breath Control Technique that Oboro knows originated from ancient martial arts training on Earth... This internal martial arts method is almost 'Tao', a profound mystery.
While individual combat strength on Earth cannot compare to Demon Slayer, the brilliance and depth of civilization on Earth far surpass Demon Slayer.
Because this world evolved from a tiny country on Earth... Compared to his homeland, what civilization is there to speak of?
Even this part of the background... to put it bluntly, it's all just picking up scraps from their ancestors.
Thinking of this, Oboro's hand, which was gripping the wooden stick, instinctively stopped...
The words of the Tree God still echoed in my ears.
He suddenly realized something.
I represent not just an individual, but also a group of people on Earth.
And his true identity and backing.
And these things, in the first world he transmigrated to in Hunter x Hunter... under that mentality, under the premise of advocating personal will, were difficult to perceive and feel.
They simply cannot wake up.
He was able to reach the pinnacle of the Hunter x Hunter because of Earth's memories, the system's assistance, and the integrity and character he cultivated under the influence of ancient civilizations in a specific environment.
Without those Chinese Martial Arts, without the blood and spirit in his veins... he could never have succeeded.
On the surface, he seems to have the advantage of being a time traveler, knowing the plot and characters inside and out... But in reality, what truly determines whether he can go far is his mind and personality... In many life-or-death situations, if he had made one wrong choice, it would probably all be over.
Moreover, in the use and transformation of Nen, he has actually incorporated many of the 'achievements' of his ancestors.
The Breathing Technique alone allowed him to reach a new level in his control and manipulation of life energy.
Acupressure and pulse diagnosis allowed him to see the structure of different life forms more clearly...
His strength in the Hunter x Hunter is the result of these unseen 'invisible assistance'.
Long smiled, suddenly understanding dawning on her.
In his Hunter x Hunter, he was like a blindfolded 'newbie player,' and now the blindfold has been removed...
Let us carry on the legacy... It is not about passing on personal will, but about passing on the civilization behind me, so that it may bloom into another 'flower' in this world and this era.
The people around Guan Long's face instantly broke into a bright and cheerful smile, and they couldn't help but be infected by it.
They didn't know what Oboro was happy about... but this overflowing emotion was very real.
After finishing the rough sketch, he began to carefully teach Tan Ping the improved version of the Sun Breathing.
Kamado Tanpei looked at the human meridian diagram on the ground and listened to Oboro's understanding of breathing techniques, which included novel concepts and terms such as acupoint activation and dan qi, he felt as if he had opened a door to New World.
A vast and boundless ocean of knowledge washed over his mind!
It stimulated his nerves...
He listened with such rapt attention that he was afraid of missing a single word.
If there's anything you don't understand or don't get clear on, ask immediately.
Long patiently explained...
Neither Kamado Tanjiro nor his mother had ever seen Tan Ping so wholeheartedly devoted to something, nor had they ever seen him so devout and respectful to a stranger.
It's just like a student facing their teacher in class...
Outsiders couldn't comprehend the intricacies of it, but in Kamado Tanpei's eyes, Oboro's image was already on the same level as Yoriichi Tsugikuni's... He didn't know what kind of strength Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
In any case, they were all things he could only dream of but never reach.
For the entire morning, neither the three women nor the child approached to disturb Oboro and Tan Ping.
The atmosphere of their interaction was very pure; one was teaching, and the other was learning...
It prevents bystanders from getting close.
Only occasionally would Tan Ping's wife bring him a few cups of hot tea.
Their conversation ended in the afternoon.
Oboro called Kamado Tanjiro over. The boy glanced at his father first, and after seeing Tan Ping nod, he walked to Oboro's side.
With a smile, Oboro patted Kamado Tanjiro on the shoulder, pointed to the human meridian diagram on the snow that had already melted, and whispered, "Memorize this diagram... and never forget it."
"Um."
Kamado Tanjiro nodded vigorously.
At that moment, Tan Ping suddenly pressed his large hand on Kamado Tanjiro's head, his tone changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Kneel down."
This was the first time Kamado Tanjiro had seen his father with this expression.
Very serious.
His father has always been a source of warmth in his heart.
He obediently knelt down before Oboro, and Tan Ping did the same.
The father and son performed the master-disciple ceremony for Long.
Because Oboro not only imparted power to them, but also saved the lives of the Kamado Clan ...
"Hehehe... Aren't you worried that I have ulterior motives?"
Oboro accepted the father and son's deep bow. Kamado Tanpei was a smart man; in this world, no one would bestow favors without a reason.
However, when the power and status of the two sides differ significantly, this prerequisite factor becomes less important...
"Please speak, sir."
Tan Ping raised his head, his expression calm.
He didn't really want to become Long's disciple, and besides, it wasn't certain whether Long would accept him... He was just being grateful.
The fact that this meridian diagram was drawn on snow, rather than on paper, already speaks volumes.
"Get up."
Long spoke softly.
"I will acquire a residence in the town at the foot of the mountain, and I will come to visit you when I have free time... My days are numbered. You have fulfilled my wish and allowed me to witness this breathing technique, so we are even. Let's skip the formalities of master and disciple, and just consider it as making friends..."
"Your wild vegetable soup is delicious..."
He said this to the woman standing at the door.
After saying that, he turned and left.
Two maids quickly followed, one on each side.
Long's purpose for this trip was simple, and it has already been achieved.
First, by using the Sun Breathing, determine Yoriichi Tsugikuni's power.
Second, we need to find a way to stay permanently in Mount Kumotori.
Because the Blue Spider Lily only blooms during the day and for a very short time... it may be impossible to preserve, let alone bring it down from the mountain or transport it. Even if it were possible... its medicinal effects would probably be lost.
To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, Oboro preferred to believe that only the Kamado family could find this flower.
Furthermore, the gains this time were greater than expected.
Because Oboro finally knew what he was supposed to do in this inferior world... and he also 'came into contact' with the will of this world.
Kamado Tanjiro gazed ahead at the back of the man who needed a maid's support to take a step, and at the black haori that swayed in the mountain breeze. He glanced at his father and said, "Mr. Oboro smells very nice."
"Hehe..."
Tan Ping smiled gently at his son and patted his hair.
"So... there really are people like this in this world."
"I thought... it wouldn't happen again."
