Qi and Blood Field

Day twenty-four.

At three in the morning, while everyone else was still asleep, Yang Ning appeared on the deck. After finishing a round of Heavenly Stars Might, the sun had just risen.

This was Taiheng Heaven, at the highest point of the atmosphere, where the sun rose extremely early.

"Seven-Day Breathing Technique!" Circulating the breathing technique, Yang Ning took a deep breath and immediately felt a wave of heat throughout his body. The heat came and went quickly, leaving him feeling warm all over, as if he had just taken a bath and a sauna.

He felt he must have absorbed something like the so-called Innate Purple Qi, a breath that only appeared at the very beginning of sunrise, as it didn't happen at other times.

As for whether this thing was good or bad, Yang Ning leaned towards it being very beneficial to the human body. He had discovered it three days ago, and absorbing it daily had improved his cultivation results by nearly twenty percent over the past three days.

It was like giving himself a cultivation buff.

"I can bring Ning Rong to try it tomorrow!" Yang Ning thought.

Just as he was about to continue practicing his punches, Deep Blue's clear "ding" sounded.

"Master, anomalous energy has been detected generating within your body!"

"Hmm?" Yang Ning was startled and asked, "Where?"

"In the heart!"

Yang Ning quickly sat down cross-legged, focusing his attention on his heart. He indeed found a barely perceptible warm current swirling in his heart.

Such weak energy, if it were an ordinary person, they might not be able to sense it at all. However, both Deep Blue and Yang Ning himself had extremely strong control over their bodies. The moment it was born, Yang Ning discovered it.

"How did this thing generate?" Yang Ning sensed the energy flow and found that it was harmless to the body, but uncontrollable, and it was constantly weakening. In less than three minutes, it disappeared from his body.

"It erupted from your cells after you finished your cultivation!" Deep Blue explained.

"That should be Blood Essence!" Yang Ning understood instantly.

Blood Essence, also known as Qi and Blood.

Breathing techniques and moves could strengthen the body. Once the body was strengthened to a certain extent, Blood Essence could be generated. Blood Essence could be used to temper the body. The generation of Blood Essence meant advancing from the second stage of physical body cultivation to the third.

This process didn't come with a bang or a sudden increase in strength; it was a gradual progression.

Yang Ning had asked Wei Daocheng, and ordinary disciples would typically generate Blood Essence four to six months after starting cultivation. Some disciples with strong cultivation talent might generate Blood Essence within two months of starting cultivation.

But him?

It only took him twenty-four days from starting cultivation to generating Blood Essence!

Of course, most people wouldn't feel anything when Blood Essence was first generated. They would only be able to sense it when the Blood Essence became strong enough. Yang Ning was an exception.

But even by ordinary people's standards, Yang Ning's cultivation speed was still far beyond that of normal people!

"Tsk, as expected, applying scientific methods to cultivation is also effective!" Yang Ning didn't think his talent was that amazing. He believed more that the scientific methodology had played a role, and he became more resolute in his cultivation method.

After all, the scientific method is truth, and truth is a principle that applies everywhere. Since it is truth, it must be adhered to.

"Humph!" Yang Ning swung his fists again, practicing Heavenly Stars Might while sensing his body.

Half an hour later, another wisp of Blood Essence was born.

"Deep Blue, capture the Blood Essence!" Yang Ning immediately shouted.

"Yes!" Unlike the unobservable nature of spiritual energy, since Blood Essence was generated within the body, Deep Blue could naturally observe it.

Yang Ning immediately had Deep Blue take over his body so he could shower and then eat, while he entered the Spiritual Realm to research the Blood Essence.

For energy research, there was already a set of mature methods from his previous life. Yang Ning could directly borrow them. Therefore, before he even finished showering, the preliminary properties of Blood Essence were researched.

Firstly, Blood Essence was not a real existing energy, but an energy field generated in the muscles around the blood vessels when blood flowed at high speed within the vessels, much like the electromagnetic field generated around an electric current.

The generation of Blood Essence required two conditions: high-speed flowing blood and sufficiently strong muscles.

If the blood flow was too slow, the Blood Essence would be weak and undetectable.

If the muscles were too weak and inactive, even if Blood Essence was generated, it wouldn't be sensed.

This was why he detected Blood Essence after practicing his punches, because the blood flow was fastest immediately after exercise.

And the detection of Blood Essence in the heart was because the heart muscle was inherently very strong. Coupled with the training of the heart muscle by the Seven-Day Breathing Technique and Heavenly Stars Might, the heart muscle was the first to meet the conditions for generating Blood Essence.

Since it was a type of field, Blood Essence shouldn't be called Blood Essence or Qi and Blood, but rather Blood Field or Qi and Blood Field.

Similar to electric fields, there were several parameters to describe the Blood Field: Field Strength, Field Lines, and Field Force.

Because Blood Essence was generated by blood flow, the Blood Field always originated around the blood vessels and moved along fixed trajectories. In the Twelve Divine Forms, Blood Essence circulated along the Meridians.

"Hmm?" Yang Ning suddenly thought of something and quickly compared the positions of the Meridians and blood vessels in the cultivation techniques.

Indeed, the Meridians and blood vessels were always parallel. Blood vessels were divided into arterial and venous, and Meridians were divided into yin and yang, which corresponded perfectly!

No wonder Meridians were invisible and intangible; they were the trajectories of the field's movement, so they naturally had no physical form!

"So that's how it is!" Yang Ning suddenly understood. This not only clarified the concept of Blood Essence but also incidentally explained the principle of Meridians. From this moment on, the mysterious cultivation concept of Blood Essence shed its veil of mystery before Yang Ning and became clear and visible.

"So tempering the body is using the Blood Field to strengthen the body? That's right, a field is a form of energy, and when it acts on cells, it naturally produces an effect." In his previous life, no one had cultivated this thing, so naturally, no one had discovered it.

Therefore, the principle of the Blood Field tempering all body cells was also very simple: because blood vessels are distributed throughout the body, they can reach every cell!

Blood Essence could not only be used to strengthen oneself but also in combat. This involved the superposition of fields. By superimposing fields at different locations, fields of different directions and magnitudes could be created.

Because of the complexity of blood vessels, the Qi and Blood Field, as an existence attached to blood vessels, naturally has countless application techniques. By utilizing the superposition of the Qi and Blood Field, moves like spiral force, qi blades, and sword qi can be created.

If the Qi and Blood Field can be strengthened to a certain extent, even extending outside the body, that would be Qi and Blood Projection. If the Qi and Blood Field is strong enough, creating a three-foot qi wall would not be difficult.

"So, are internal force and the Qi and Blood Field the same thing? They should be. At least, the effects of all the internal force techniques I know can be simulated by force fields. If that's the case, can't I draw upon martial arts from my previous life to apply the Qi and Blood Field?"

Yang Ning's mind immediately went to several cultivation methods.

Lingbo Weibu, Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill.

This world is not safe. There is also conflict within Ascension Academy, and quite a few people die before graduation.

Everyone knows the Twelve Divine Forms. So even if you play more elaborately, if others have more people, they can still find ways to counter you.

It's best to create some cultivation methods yourself. You might not need them, but you must have them.

As for which cultivation methods to create, one for running away and one for defense.

The former means you can escape if you can't win, and the latter means you can only deal damage if you're alive.

As for offense, he'll create a Sword Drawing Technique. He has too many things to practice, so there's no need for fancy sword techniques. It's best to defeat the enemy in one move. If he can't win, he'll find another opportunity to strike again.

"But this workload has suddenly increased!" Yang Ning sighed.

The total length of an adult's blood vessels is 96,000 kilometers. The meridians surround the blood vessels and are the same length, but because they form a loop, their complexity is infinitely higher than that of blood vessels.

Furthermore, the superposition of electric fields involves countless mathematical and physical calculations. Fortunately, there is the Spiritual Realm to assist. Otherwise, creating a cultivation method from scratch would take decades of effort.

"Boom!" The entire cafeteria suddenly shook violently.

"Huh?" Yang Ning was stunned. I just made a firm decision; there's no need for a celestial phenomenon, right!

Finishing the food on his plate in a few bites, Yang Ning immediately got up and went out.

The hall was already bustling, with people muttering about interception and Lin Tianheng.

"Someone's blocking the ship?" Yang Ning blinked. Did they have the guts of a leopard?

This ship is for the Foundation Establishment Immortal Seedlings of Ascension Academy. In his previous life, it would be equivalent to a kindergarten school bus!

What does it mean to intercept a kindergarten school bus?

Yang Ning hurried out of the cafeteria. He didn't want to be killed in the cafeteria; that would be too frustrating. Even if he were to die, he wanted to die clearly.
