As Xu Qian delved deeper into the "Qing Nang Handbook Supplement," his medical knowledge base expanded at an astonishing rate. It contained not only remedies for various difficult illnesses and unique prescriptions but also scattered insights accumulated by Xue Muhua over years of adventuring, concerning the conditioning and cultivation of Martial Artists' bodies.
One evening, as Xu Qian's hand brushed over a page detailing a formula for treating internal injuries, the information stream from the Longevity Dao Fruit included, alongside the formula itself, a seemingly insignificant auxiliary method for guiding Qi and Blood to circulate faster, thereby promoting the absorption of medicinal properties.
The method's language was archaic, and its Qi circulation route was peculiar, unlike mainstream internal energy cultivation techniques. It resembled an ancient guiding art. In the "Supplement," it was merely an annotation to the formula, and Xue Muhua hadn't paid it much attention, merely noting, "This method might have a slight effect, but it's time-consuming and strenuous, not worth the effort."
However, as the Longevity Dao Fruit analyzed this method, it emitted an unusual fluctuation.
[Acquired rudimentary guiding art Qi and Blood Circulation Method.]
[Analyzing... This method aims to guide one's own Qi and Blood through specific frequency oscillations, accelerating their circulation, which can slightly enhance physical vitality and promote energy absorption (including, but not limited to, medicinal properties, essence from food, and spiritual energy from heaven and earth).]
[Deducing and optimizing... High compatibility with the host's 'Longevity True Qi.' After fusion, it can slightly improve True Qi circulation efficiency and minutely accelerate cultivation accumulation.]
Xu Qian's eyes lit up instantly!
[Accelerate cultivation accumulation?!]
Although the Dao Fruit's prompt only mentioned "slight" and "minor," this was incredibly significant to him! The Longevity Dao Fruit's automatic annual cultivation growth was the baseline, absorbing Sha Qi was an added bonus, observing Sword Intent patterns to optimize the Dao Fruit was a long-term investment, and now, this Qi and Blood Circulation Method could directly improve the efficiency of his daily cultivation!
It was like playing a game. Besides passive experience gain (automatic Dao Fruit growth), fighting monsters for experience (absorbing Sha Qi), and completing quests to upgrade equipment (optimizing the Dao Fruit), there was now an added passive aura that increased experience acquisition efficiency!
Even a mosquito's leg is still meat! Especially a passive skill that could generate continuous returns!
He immediately focused his mind, guiding the Dao Fruit to deeply deduce and optimize this Qi and Blood Circulation Method.
The Dao Fruit's clear light flowed, analyzing and dissecting the archaic, even somewhat obscure, Qi circulation route and Qi and Blood oscillation frequencies one by one. It then attempted to integrate and fuse them with Xu Qian's internal Longevity True Qi circulation system.
Longevity True Qi was upright, peaceful, and full of vitality, naturally adept at nourishing the physical body. It was a perfect match for the Qi and Blood Circulation Method, which aimed to invigorate Qi and Blood.
Soon, an optimized version, the Longevity Blood Circulation Method, tailored to Xu Qian's specific situation by the Dao Fruit, was ready!
This improved version no longer required deliberately oscillating Qi and Blood (which was indeed time-consuming and strenuous). Instead, the unique "oscillation" intent and frequency were integrated into the daily circulation of Longevity True Qi!
Xu Qian couldn't wait to try it.
He sat cross-legged and began circulating his Longevity True Qi as usual. However, this time, he diverted a sliver of his attention, guiding the True Qi along the routes and frequencies of the improved Longevity Blood Circulation Method.
It felt a bit stiff at first, but soon, he felt the difference!
The Longevity True Qi, which had been flowing steadily like a stream, seemed to have been infused with a touch of vitality after incorporating the unique "circulation" intent. Its flow speed noticeably increased slightly! Furthermore, as the True Qi passed through his meridians and acupoints, its nourishing effect on his body seemed more pronounced. He felt a warm sensation all over, as if soaking in warm water, with every cell cheering.
What surprised him even more was that he could clearly feel that the efficiency with which he absorbed Yin Sha Qi from the air and converted it into cultivation had also increased by an almost imperceptible trace!
Although the increase was minuscule, perhaps less than one percent, it was continuous! As long as he circulated his cultivation technique, it was effective!
[Awesome! So awesome!] Xu Qian was so excited he almost lost control of his cultivation. "This is practically a custom-made accelerator for me!"
He had previously thought the method was "time-consuming and strenuous, not worth the effort," but that was for ordinary people. They needed to dedicate specific time to practice and circulation, and the effect was minimal. But for Xu Qian, this method had been perfectly integrated into his daily cultivation, consuming almost no extra time or energy while providing continuous benefits!
This was truly striking gold!
From that day on, Xu Qian's daily cultivation gained another hidden benefit. He no longer needed to deliberately circulate any Qi and Blood Circulation Method, as the improved version had become an integral part of his Longevity True Qi circulation.
While he ate, his True Qi automatically circulated, accelerating the absorption of the essence from his food (though the food in the Heavenly Prison had little essence).
While he slept, his True Qi automatically circulated, slowly increasing his cultivation.
