Fabricated Exhalation Technique!

Inside the thatched hut.

Xiao Huohuo glanced left and right nervously.

Besides an old wooden bed, a table, a few books, and a pair of bowls and chopsticks, the room contained nothing else.

It was simple, monotonous, and exuded a sense of detachment from the mundane world.

In storybooks, this was the kind of place where experts resided.

"Xiao Huohuo!"

Chu Feng's voice startled the boy, who immediately knelt down and trembled, "Disciple is here!"

Chu Feng sat on the bed, looking at Xiao Huohuo with great satisfaction. He said leisurely, "Very good. Then I will now teach you the Qi Refining Method."

"I speak, you do."

"Not a single step can be wrong."

"Get up."

The boy, who had been kneeling on the ground, stood up.

Chu Feng continued, "Imitate me and sit cross-legged."

Xiao Huohuo sat on the ground, his eyes fixed on Chu Feng as he adjusted his posture.

Before he was even properly seated, he heard Chu Feng's voice: "Sense the spiritual energy in the heavens and earth."

"Sensing spiritual energy is the first step of Qi Refining."

"Only by sensing the existence of spiritual energy can you be considered to have talent for Qi Refining."

After speaking, Xiao Huohuo sat cross-legged nervously, stabilized his heartbeat, and took a deep breath to force himself to calm down.

Chu Feng's words put immense pressure on him.

Sensing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth meant having talent for Qi Refining.

What if he couldn't sense it?

Would everything before this turn into nothing?

Such thoughts overwhelmed him, causing his mind to become chaotic and a trace of irritation to arise.

Xiao Huohuo shook his head abruptly, constantly telling himself, "It's okay, Xiao Huohuo, believe in yourself."

"Although I don't have talent for martial cultivation, what if I have talent for Qi Refining?"

"Moreover, with such an immortal master here, even if I don't have talent in this area, Master won't ignore me."

"He will definitely help me find a way!"

Thinking this, Xiao Huohuo's heart finally calmed down completely.

And in his ears, Chu Feng's guidance continued to echo: "I will first teach you the breathing technique."

"Only by learning the breathing technique can you better sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."

Xiao Huohuo became even more focused: "Here I come!"

He was stepping onto the path of Qi Refining, the first step to defying fate, and it was here!

However, he waited for a long time, but Chu Feng did not continue speaking.

Chu Feng paused. He had thought about how to cultivate Qi Refining before, but he hadn't carefully considered the cultivation methods for entering the Dao.

After some thought, his eyes lit up. He remembered a breathing technique from a World of Heavenly Emperors.

Chu Feng continued to speak slowly and mysteriously, "The breathing technique is profound and supreme."

"I will now teach you a simple introductory method."

"First, imagine yourself as a thousand-year-old turtle."

"Imagine how this turtle breathes?"

Turtle?

Xiao Huohuo suddenly remembered that when his father celebrated his birthday last year, a certain faction came to offer congratulations, and their gift was an old turtle.

Although his father didn't like the old turtle, he found it amusing and often played with it.

Suddenly, the old turtle appeared as if right beside him.

Xiao Huohuo gazed at the old turtle, watching its belly and body gently rise and fall. Unconsciously, his breathing rhythm also slowed.

Each breath made his body calmer.

Each moment the breath lingered within him made his mind clearer.

It seemed his body had become more relaxed because of it.

Xiao Huohuo paused, feeling the strange changes within his body, and thought with surprise:

"Is this the unprecedented Path of Cultivation?"

"Is this the so-called Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth?"

"I'm ready, bring it on!"

Looking at Xiao Huohuo, whose eyes were tightly shut, Chu Feng immediately scratched his head in confusion:

"This kid is really in the zone."

"Did he really grasp something?"

Then, he continued to explain:

"The so-called Spiritual Energy is the origin energy of heaven and earth, hidden within the sun and moon, and scattered among the clear wind mountains and rivers."

"And to sense this Spiritual Energy, with your current Cultivation, you can only rely on the simplest Breathing Technique, resonating with the frequency of heaven and earth."

"When your breathing grasps this trace of mystery, you will be able to retain Spiritual Energy within your body."

At this point, Chu Feng quickly added as if to cover his tracks:

"Sensing the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth is an extremely simple process."

"Since you can become my disciple, there's no way you can't do this, right?"

Hearing this, Xiao Huohuo, who was sitting in meditation, felt a warmth at the tip of his nose, and his eye sockets became a little moist.

Ever since he could remember, although his status was extraordinary and he lived a life like being surrounded by stars and the moon, due to his cultivation talent, no one had ever believed in him like this.

Even when the Three-Year Pact was made, it was merely an excuse for the City Lord's Mansion and the people of Dongli City to save face.

Everyone believed that in half a year, he would still be trampled underfoot by that woman, and live the rest of his life in shame.

Even his father, who had accompanied him for sixteen years, although he had always supported him, as the date approached, he wanted him to temporarily stay away from Dongli City to avoid this competition.

He was afraid that Xiao Huohuo would live with an inferiority complex after a crushing defeat and never be able to hold his head up again.

Although this was for his own good, to Xiao Huohuo, it was also a form of distrust.

And now, this master he had only known for less than half a day believed in him so much, teaching him a supreme dharma gate.

This was the first time in his life he had felt such strong trust.

Xiao Huohuo secretly thought:

"Whether it's to defeat that woman in half a year and prove I'm not a waste."

"Or to not let down Master's trust, I must succeed!"

Suddenly, Xiao Huohuo's eyes widened, and he looked at Chu Feng.

Seeing his excited expression, Chu Feng immediately asked excitedly:

"Disciple, have you cultivated Spirit?"

"Master, I will definitely cultivate Spiritual Power. I promise, I will cultivate with all my might!"

As he spoke, Xiao Huohuo looked at Chu Feng, who had his mouth half-open, and said:

"Master, what's wrong?"

Chu Feng's face stiffened as he continued:

"Disciple, when you cultivate Spirit... Spiritual Power, Master will be able to sense it."

"Your Master also believes you will definitely cultivate Spiritual Power."

Xiao Huohuo nodded excitedly:

"Master, don't worry, Huohuo will not slack off."

Nodding slightly, Chu Feng looked at the focused Xiao Huohuo and chuckled:

"Just focus on cultivating here."

After speaking, Chu Feng slowly stood up and walked out of the room.

Only when he tiptoed to a distance of seven zhang from the wooden house did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Looking back at the Thatched Cottage, Chu Feng shook his head:

"I hope this kid can really comprehend something."

Then, he mused to himself:

"This kid is so foolish and easy to fool. If he doesn't manage to cultivate it, I can think of a way to trick him first."

"At worst, I'll figure something out after I leave."
