Big Pendulum

This fatty named A Bao was quite eloquent. When describing things, he spoke fluently and endlessly!

Furthermore, he was a disciple of the Navy in the Maritime Affairs Office, a local bully from HunZhou Island, a pure street punk.

Although he wasn't very capable himself, he had a wide network of contacts, good knowledge, and understood a little bit of everything.

Starting with this storage treasure, he used it as a focal point to systematically explain the economic scope of HunZhou Island.

Jing Qian listened carefully, occasionally asking his own questions and engaging in discussion.

A successful symposium thus began.

During this process, Jing Qian accumulated knowledge about this new world bit by bit, making preparations.

Ten days was a precious amount of time. If it were just spent chatting, it would be too much of a waste.

He stood on the deck, stretching his body, and assumed a solid boxing stance.

The Jing Family Eight Trigrams Sword, which combined refining and striking, was a profound internal martial art.

While it couldn't compare to the extraordinary paths of this world, it wasn't without its merits.

From the knowledge he had acquired, Jing Qian had sorted out more than twenty Essence Nourishing Methods.

These included more detailed methods such as Medicinal Refinement, Dietary Supplementation, Body Tempering, and Essence Absorption, covering everything imaginable.

However, compared to the internal martial arts of his previous life, the Essence Nourishing secret methods of this world placed more emphasis on seeking external aid.

When it came to developing one's physical body without relying on the power of Primordial Qi, they were indeed not as refined as internal martial arts.

Therefore, after Jing Qian had settled down a bit, he immediately set aside precious time to use this internal martial art to begin his own path of Essence Nourishing.

That's right, he was Determining Destiny first and then nourishing essence, which was the opposite of other cultivators.

Don't think that because he had already Determined Destiny and his Destiny Essence cultivation was progressing rapidly, he could skip this Essence Nourishing stage.

In Jing Qian's understanding, building a strong physical foundation was extremely important, no matter when, where, or in which world.

Since he had the conditions, methods, and time, he naturally wouldn't miss it.

This current physical body was nurtured by powerful Destiny Essence magic power.

This inevitably gave him the hidden worry of pulling up seedlings to help them grow.

Therefore, he had made a long-term plan to invest the maximum amount of resources to nourish his physical body.

Currently, this boxing stance of his was the Subduing Dragon Stance, a secret body-nourishing method from the Jing Family Eight Trigrams Sword, most suitable for young children to learn the basic stance.

Taking advantage of the stable time during this sea voyage, Jing Qian could use this stance practice as the starting point for training his physical body.

As soon as the boxing stance was assumed, strength was naturally generated. Jing Qian felt his whole body's muscles gradually tighten, coiling around his spine like a great dragon.

Immediately after, a massive amount of Destiny Essence magic power surged out from his mind's eye.

It was then converted into pure Innate Primordial Qi and spread throughout his body.

He clearly knew that this was an extremely inefficient and wasteful way of using Destiny Essence.

But only a body nourished and tempered by this most basic and purest Primordial Qi was what Jing Qian truly trusted.

Slowly, he closed his eyes and rested, no longer moving, allowing his blood and Qi to surge within his body.

A Bao, seeing that Jing Qian had stopped responding, gradually ceased his narration.

But Jing Qian spoke directly, saying:

"Don't stop, I'm listening!"

"Unless I tell you to stop, keep talking, talk for ten days!"

The fatty had no choice but to continue speaking.

Fortunately, he was also a cultivator who had just entered the Determining Destiny realm, otherwise, he wouldn't have had the stamina to support this ten-day lecture.

As for Jing Qian, listening to the information the other party was narrating while cultivating, achieving multitasking, was something he could easily do at his current cultivation level.

The growth of his divine sense had comprehensively increased his thinking speed.

Coupled with the abundant infusion of Innate Primordial Qi, he could almost achieve photographic memory.

He was even practicing the Essence Extraction Art while doing his stance and listening to the lecture.

This was already multitasking three ways!

Time quietly slipped by. A Bao spoke from economics to politics, from military affairs to people's livelihoods, from the government office to the marketplace, from mortals to cultivation.

He even spent two days specifically at Jing Qian's request, focusing on the situation of the Jing Clan that he was aware of.

This information was extremely helpful for Jing Qian's subsequent plans.

It wasn't until the agreed-upon ten-day period arrived and Jing Qian finished his stance that he allowed the other party to rest.

A Bao collapsed directly onto the ground, looking withered and exhausted, not wanting to say a single word.

In stark contrast was Jing Qian, whose spirit was full and whose muscles and bones were relaxed.

Although it had only been ten days, with the help of Innate Primordial Qi, he had easily mastered this stance technique.

The improvement of his physical body was secondary; Jing Qian was extremely satisfied with the new level of control he had over his physical body!

He looked at the fatty in front of him, raised his hand, and the Tide Destiny Constitution drove a stream of water from the sea, which landed in his hand.

The stream of water gathered into a ball, and inside it was a strange Water Dragonfly Insect.

Jing Qian then asked:

"Fellow Daoist, do you recognize this object?"

As soon as he took out the insect, A Bao's expression immediately changed, no longer looking like he had been tormented and wronged.

Just as he was about to explain, Jing Qian didn't give him a chance, directly shooting out a thread and sewing his mouth shut.

Jing Qian easily bound him completely with the thread before speaking:

"In ten days, you released one hundred and twenty-four Water Dragonfly Insects. You are truly persistent!"

"However, I never intended to let you leave alive. Only if you die will no one know that I impersonated someone."

"Since you made the first move, don't blame me!"

With that, he manipulated the threads before him, stirring his magic power and pouring it into the other person's body.

Now, Jing Qian had thoroughly read the family heirloom, the Morning and Evening Destiny Breaking Scripture, and had gained a new understanding of its core Destiny Constitution, [Sewing Souls and Weaving Spirits].

This [Destiny Constitution] possessed the characteristics of both Lifeform Destiny and God-Ghost Destiny, and was most adept at attacking a cultivator's soul and consciousness.

When cultivated to a profound level, upon the threads adhering to an enemy, one could manipulate their soul and turn them into a puppet.

However, ever since Jing Qian had refined [Sewing Souls and Weaving Spirits], he had rarely used this ability.

Instead, he found the secondary ability of manipulating threads much more convenient to use.

At this moment, he was treating this A Bao as the target for his [Sewing Souls and Weaving Spirits] experiment.

As his magic power was infused, A Bao's body trembled repeatedly.

And the next second, he was actually pulled by the threads and began to move.

Initially, Jing Qian was not very familiar with using [Sewing Souls and Weaving Spirits] to control living people.

As a result, A Bao twisted extremely stiffly, like a wooden puppet.

But gradually, as Jing Qian's proficiency increased, A Bao's movements also became smoother.

Jing Qian's control over [Sewing Souls and Weaving Spirits] was rapidly improving!

Capturing an enemy of the same Ninth Grade for the first time could be considered a crucial node in the cultivation of [Sewing Souls and Weaving Spirits].

Jing Qian's mind stirred, and from his left and right hands, a new thread extended from each, landing on A Bao.

The number of threads he could control reached four, directly doubling!

And his control over A Bao also reached a new realm.

Ignoring A Bao's resentful gaze, he forcefully dragged him and performed a Big Pendulum over the vast blue sea!

Afterward, he completely tore apart his soul, annihilating him on the spot.
