Heaven and Earth Profound Qi

In the Sword Pavilion Marquis's Mansion, within a dimly lit courtyard.

"That good-for-nothing spent the entire day in the library?" Ning Qianwu sat on a jade armrest chair, lightly stroking his mustache, his eyes gleaming with a piercing light.

Ning Han said, "Reporting, Father, I also find it strange. I originally thought that after Ning Xiaochuan's resurrection, he would come seeking revenge against Wang Yunchong and me. I had already prepared countermeasures, but he seems to have forgotten that we were the ones who caused his death. Instead, he spent the entire day reading in the library."

Ning Han was Ning Qianwu's son, eighteen years old this year. According to blood relations, Ning Xiaochuan should call Ning Han 'cousin'.

The reason Ning Xiaochuan died was due to Ning Han's scheme. He deliberately lured him to a brothel and incited him to clash with other young masters. In the end, Ning Xiaochuan was killed by a palm strike from Wang Yunchong, the Celestial Elephant Marquis.

This matter was forcibly suppressed by several young masters, who claimed to the outside world that Ning Xiaochuan died of anger after failing to win the courtesan's favor.

Dying of anger naturally couldn't be blamed on others, as there was no proof.

But who would have thought that Ning Xiaochuan would come back to life?

This day made Ning Han and Wang Yunchong extremely nervous. They weren't afraid of Ning Xiaochuan seeking revenge, as he was just a weakling with no strength to truss a chicken. They were afraid that Ning Xiaochuan would tell the elders of the Marquis's Mansion about this.

Once the matter blew up, many people would be implicated.

But Ning Xiaochuan spent the entire day reading in the library. This move was truly unfathomable, and even the cunning Ning Qianwu felt somewhat unable to understand it.

Ning Qianwu pondered for a long time and said, "I have already sent word to the elders of the Marquis's Mansion. Even if that little waste goes to complain, it won't cause too much of a stir. The key now is not to leave any clues in the brothel. Anyone who knows about this must be silenced forever."

"Your son understands!" A sinister look appeared in Ning Han's eyes.

After nightfall, the Sword Pavilion Marquis's Mansion was still brightly lit.

The sound of swords could still be heard from the training ground. Many disciples of the Marquis's Mansion were practicing their swordsmanship under the night sky. The sword energy emitted "peng, peng" sounds. After getting tired, they would sit on the chairs by the training ground, where maids would come to wipe their sweat and massage their backs.

At this moment, Ning Xiaochuan was sitting in a pavilion, with a lamp lit, sitting by the window, reading Heaven and Earth Profound Qi.

This courtyard was relatively quiet. Besides him and Ning Xiner, there were only four serving maids. Compared to the prosperous Sword Pavilion Marquis's Mansion, this courtyard was quite shabby.

According to what was said in this book, Profound Qi filled the entire world, and only those with a Martial Heart Palace could sense the existence of Profound Qi.

Absorbing Profound Qi into the body and storing it in the Martial Heart Palace.

When blood flows through the heart, it carries Martial Profound Qi throughout the body, tempering muscles, bones, flesh, internal organs, and ultimately achieving the sublimation of the physique, surpassing ordinary people.

Ning Xiaochuan planned to cultivate according to the book's explanation.

First, enter meditation.

Enter a state of "forgetting both self and external objects", sensing the existence of Profound Qi between heaven and earth.

Ning Xiaochuan closed his eyes. After about half an hour, he suddenly felt a faint stream of air flowing into his pores, like countless tiny spiritual dragons, merging into his blood. The blood throughout his body was boiling, and his blood vessels were constantly vibrating.

After one cycle, the Profound Qi flowed into his heart and was stored in the Martial Heart Palace.

The Martial Heart Palace was like a brilliant star hidden in the center of the heart, with vast space and misty Qi. Martial Profound Qi escaped from the blood and rushed into the heart palace, stirring up the Profound Qi within.

The amount of Martial Profound Qi in his body increased.

Ning Xiaochuan felt that the speed of blood flow in his body had also increased slightly, and the strength of his blood vessels and body had increased accordingly, and the speed of absorbing Heaven and Earth Profound Qi became faster and faster.

In this way, the blood circulated throughout his body for thirty-six cycles.

"Boom!"

Ning Xiaochuan's heart shook violently, and the Heaven and Earth Profound Qi poured into his pores like crazy.

The Martial Profound Qi in the Martial Heart Palace directly doubled.

Profound Qi Third Level!

"This martial arts cultivation is too easy. In less than an hour, I actually improved by one level." Ning Xiaochuan felt refreshed and full of strength, without feeling any difficulty in cultivation.

The Profound Qi Realm is divided into nine levels: The first three levels, refining Qi and condensing strength.

The middle three levels, Qi exhaling around the body.

The last three levels, pointing Qi like a sword.

Ning Xiaochuan is now at the Profound Qi Third Level. If he improves by one more level, reaching the Profound Qi Fourth Level, the Profound Qi will be able to rush out of his pores and envelop his skin.

When defending, the Profound Qi will be as solid as armor, impenetrable to knives.

When attacking, Profound Qi is as sharp as a battle sword, and a single palm can split a tree as thick as a bowl.

Ning Xiaochuan didn't know that the reason he was able to cultivate so quickly was because the old Marquis had used his Earth Martial Essence Qi to nurture his heart meridian for ten years. A large amount of Earth Martial Essence Qi was hidden in his blood, and as he cultivated, this Earth Martial Essence Qi was stimulated from his blood.

That's why he entered the Profound Qi Second Level after just sleeping for one night. Now, it's not surprising that he easily entered the Profound Qi Third Level!

The amount of the old Marquis's Earth Martial Essence Qi was enough to make an ordinary martial artist become an unparalleled expert. Ning Xiaochuan has only stimulated a very small part of it now. As his cultivation becomes higher and higher, this Earth Martial Essence Qi will be released faster.

Of course, if Ning Xiaochuan could never repair his heart meridian in his entire life, then he would never be able to obtain this power.

"The cultivation of Profound Qi is indeed magical. Through the blood, Profound Qi is absorbed into the Martial Heart Palace, and then flows from the Martial Heart Palace into the blood, nourishing the whole body and making the body constantly stronger."

Ning Xiaochuan discovered a very interesting thing: once he circulated Martial Profound Qi, the speed of blood flow would increase.

It takes about three minutes for an ordinary person's blood to circulate throughout the body.

Ning Xiaochuan entered the Profound Qi Third Level. If he cultivates deliberately, it only takes two minutes for the blood to complete a full cycle in the body.

In one hour, he can complete sixty cycles.

Ordinary people can only complete forty cycles in one hour.

In other words, the higher the cultivation, the faster the blood circulation, and the faster the absorption of Heaven and Earth Profound Qi.

"According to what is said in the books, if you complete ten cycles in one minute, your body will undergo a transformation, completely surpassing the mortal body and transforming into a supernatural martial body. The power that erupts from it is unimaginable for ordinary people. Amazing!" Ning Xiaochuan developed a strong interest in martial cultivation.

In his previous life, he had read martial arts novels where those with high martial arts skills cultivated their dantian and eight extraordinary meridians, but these were all nonsense. He had dissected countless corpses and had never dissected any meridians. It would be strange if the human body really had a dantian.

However, the blood vessels and heart are real, and blood flows through every part of the body. If Martial Profound Qi is hidden in the blood, it can indeed irrigate the entire body, causing the body to undergo an earth-shattering transformation.

"Squeak!"

Ning Xiner returned from cultivation in the training field and saw that the lights were still on in Ning Xiaochuan's room, so she pushed the door open, revealing a delicate and beautiful little face, and said with some reproach, "Brother, your body is weak, why aren't you resting yet?"

"Hehe! I'm studying how to cultivate Martial Profound Qi." Ning Xiaochuan said with a smile.

Ning Xiner said, "Did you borrow a cultivation technique from the Scripture Pavilion?"

Ning Xiaochuan nodded and picked up the Heaven and Earth Profound Qi on the table, saying, "It's this one."

Ning Xiner was immediately speechless, saying, "That's not a cultivation technique at all, it's just an ordinary book explaining Heaven and Earth Profound Qi. You can buy one for five small coins on the street."

"Ah! Not a cultivation technique?" Ning Xiaochuan scratched his head. If it's not a cultivation technique, then why was he able to sense Heaven and Earth Profound Qi according to the methods in the book, and even absorb Heaven and Earth Profound Qi into his body? Ning Xiner said, "Of course, those poor people can't get real cultivation techniques, so they can only cultivate according to the basic methods in Heaven and Earth Profound Qi. However, the speed of cultivation is extremely slow. It may take decades to reach the Profound Qi Third Level, Profound Qi Fourth Level."

"No! I think the things written in this book are very good, very orthodox, and definitely written by an expert." Ning Xiaochuan said.

Ning Xiner said, "Of course it was written by a remarkable expert, otherwise how could it be so widely circulated? It's just that this book is too basic. I could recite it backwards when I was six years old. Brother, you have never cultivated martial arts, so you don't know the mystery of cultivation techniques. For example, our Sword Pavilion Marquis's Mansion's Heart Furnace Divine Canon, uses the heart as a furnace and blood as firewood, burning blood for Qi."

"Reaching the first level of the Heart Furnace Divine Canon, the speed of absorbing Martial Profound Qi is ten times that of Heaven and Earth Profound Qi."

"Reaching the second level of the Heart Furnace Divine Canon, it is twenty times that of Heaven and Earth Profound Qi."

"This is the real divine canon technique. Compared with the Heart Furnace Divine Canon, Heaven and Earth Profound Qi is simply one on the ground and one in the sky, there is no comparison."

Ning Xiaochuan always felt that the Heart Furnace Divine Canon was a bit of a deviation. Perhaps the speed of cultivation is indeed very fast, and it is indeed a cultivation divine canon, but it is definitely not the real Great Dao, and not as orthodox as Heaven and Earth Profound Qi.

Therefore, he decided not to cultivate any Heart Furnace Divine Canon, but to cultivate Heaven and Earth Profound Qi, using himself to communicate with heaven and earth. The human heart is a furnace, and is heaven and earth not a great furnace? Ning Xiner knew that Ning Xiaochuan's physique was weak and he could not cultivate Martial Profound Qi at all, so she didn't say much. For a person who can't cultivate, is there a difference between reading Heaven and Earth Profound Qi and reading Heart Furnace Divine Canon? Ning Xiner was worried about Ning Xiaochuan's body, fearing that he would continue to stay up late reading, so she forcibly dragged Ning Xiaochuan to the bed, and only returned to her room after watching him close his eyes. She sat cross-legged on the bed, circulated her blood, cultivated the Heart Furnace Divine Canon, and condensed Martial Profound Qi.

Ning Xiaochuan naturally did not sleep, but lay on the bed to comprehend the Profound Qi between heaven and earth. The Profound Qi became active, flowing into his pores, invading his blood, and gathering in his Martial Heart Palace.

The heart was beating powerfully, and a small blood-colored sword was suspended in the lower left ventricle, its light flickering, flowing with tiny strands of sword Qi, slowly merging into the blood.
