The Powerful Dragonless Heart Method (Recommendations Requested)

"Mm!"

A piercing light tore through the darkness, and the sleeping youth finally woke.

"I'm..."

Lin Qingyun propped himself up with one hand and sat up on the bed. His whole body felt sore and weak, and his head was a little groggy. He could barely remember what had happened.

"Yun'er, you're finally awake. Wonderful! I was worried to death!"

An urgent yet deeply concerned voice suddenly sounded by his ear. Lin Qingyun turned his head and met Fourth Elder's gaze.

The old man's eyes were bloodshot. Clearly, he had not slept for a very long time.

Warmth filled Lin Qingyun's heart. "Father, you've had it hard!"

"Haha, not hard, not hard. As long as you're all right, that's all that matters!" Fourth Elder laughed a few times, and the gloom on his face vanished completely.

"But you little brat, what exactly happened? You were actually unconscious for three whole days!" Fourth Elder said.

"I was out for three days! I'm not sure either. It might have something to do with that thing I ate..." Lin Qingyun said, but he paused halfway through.

Gurgle, gurgle!

Suddenly, waves of protest came from his stomach, making Lin Qingyun look awkward.

"Wait here. I'll go get you something to eat right now!"

Fourth Elder did not mind that Lin Qingyun had not finished speaking. He stood and walked outside. The instant he pushed open the door, he did not forget to turn back and say, "Stay in bed and rest properly. Don't move around!"

Lin Qingyun nodded, then lay back down on the bed and stared up at the ceiling.

Strands of memories began to surface in his mind, then finally surged like a raging tide.

The Dragonless Heart Method had many things mixed into it, but if understood in the simplest way, then it meant continuously absorbing all kinds of knowledge, thereby evolving and creating it into things of other forms.

It could be transformed into the energy one needed, or it could also become new cultivation methods or fighting skills.

The Dragonless Heart Method also had another trait: it could absorb the emotions of others or of the cultivator himself and transform them into energy.

And according to the final explanation of the Dragonless Heart Method, if it were cultivated to the end, one could even evolve an entire universe, an entire civilization, within one's own body.

Although he still did not quite believe this claim, and it was also an incomplete version.

Still, perhaps it was not as powerful as described in [Dragon Talisman], but for now, the Dragonless Heart Method was the strongest heart method he had ever seen.

"I just don't know if the knowledge in my memories can be transformed into Dou Qi!"

Lin Qingyun narrowed his eyes slightly. Now that the problem of his blocked meridians had been solved, he wanted to give it a try.

Very soon, he sat cross-legged on the bed, lowered his eyes, formed seals with his hands, and breathed as if it were all perfectly natural.

He had entered a cultivation state!

Endless knowledge began to surge up in his mind. All of it came from the memories of his previous life: poetry and songs, electricity and chemistry, music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Anything that existed in his memories was dug out by him.

The moment these memories appeared, Lin Qingyun began circulating the Dragonless Heart Method.

The Dragonless Heart Method had no form or shape and was extremely profound. It was not like ordinary cultivation methods that needed to rely on the meridians to circulate.

Instead, it could be seen and used at any time.

The poems and songs from his previous life's memories suddenly vanished, as though they had been devoured, disappearing without a trace.

Yet Lin Qingyun had a strange feeling that those poems and songs had not disappeared. Instead, they had become a part of the Dragonless Heart Method. As long as he wanted to retrieve them, he could recite them at any time.

As the method circulated, very soon, a faint current of qi appeared within Lin Qingyun's meridians.

The current was extremely weak and showed a faint milky-white color. This made Lin Qingyun very excited.

He carefully sensed that faint milky-white current. This was the first Dou Qi he had truly cultivated in the proper sense.

The milky-white current flowed along the cleared meridians and soon spread throughout his entire body. At this moment, Lin Qingyun could also sense that he had a thread of connection with this milky-white current, and he could control it as though controlling his own arm.

Following the meridians, the current soon flowed into his Dantian and lingered there.

Boom!

At that instant, Lin Qingyun's body suddenly trembled. His entire body seemed as if it had expelled endless poisonous gas and became light and nimble.

Lin Qingyun opened his eyes and slowly let out a turbid breath, his face filled with incomparable excitement.

Cultivating a stream of Dou Qi and keeping it within his Dantian meant that he had finally stepped into the ranks of Dou Qi.

The current him was at the first stage of Dou Qi!

"I can finally cultivate!"

Lin Qingyun was very excited. Eight years. The yearning in his heart had finally been realized.

"I can become stronger too!"

Lin Qingyun lifted his head, looked at the ceiling, and shouted excitedly.

"Yun'er, what are you so excited about?"

Just then, Fourth Elder pushed open the door and came in, still carrying a tray in his hands.

"Father, I can finally cultivate. I'm at the first stage of Dou Qi now!"

Lin Qingyun said, trying his best to steady his excited voice.

"Really?"

Fourth Elder's expression trembled. His hand shook, and the tray in his hands nearly fell.

He quickly walked forward, placed the tray to the side, and rushed over to Lin Qingyun.

He placed one hand on Lin Qingyun's shoulder and closed his eyes slightly. Very soon, he sensed the faint current within the latter's body.

"Wonderful, wonderful! I knew you little brat would definitely be able to do it!"

Fourth Elder was very excited. He had never been this excited before. Perhaps it was because hardship had finally given way to sweetness.

Suddenly, the elder slapped his own forehead and said, "Look at my brain. You haven't eaten anything for three days, and I actually forgot!"

As he spoke, he carried the tray on the table over to Lin Qingyun.

"Father, I'm not a child. I'll do it myself!"

Lin Qingyun smiled wryly, got off the bed, took the tray, walked to the table to the side, and sat down.

It was clearly very simple food, but somehow, it felt a little different.

"Father, I'm going to Fighting Skill Hall!"

After finishing his meal, Lin Qingyun called out to Fourth Elder.

"All right, all right. Go on."

At this moment, Fourth Elder was still in a cheerful mood.

After walking out of the house, the sun outside was right overhead. However, as it was early spring, the sunlight was not dazzling. Instead, it felt warm on his body.

Perhaps because he had not adjusted to the outside environment for three days, the instant Lin Qingyun stepped out the door, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

Only after adapting to the somewhat scorching sunlight did he casually pluck a foxtail grass and hold it in his mouth, clasp his hands behind his head, and leisurely follow the gravel path toward the rear.

Lush green willow trees were planted on both sides of the gravel path. Their tender shoots and verdant color lifted the spirit.

On the grass to either side, wildflowers were also in bloom, drawing butterflies to compete and dance among them.

After turning onto another path, a burst of girls' laughter came from a different small path.

His quiet atmosphere disturbed, Lin Qingyun raised his brows slightly. His gaze moved toward the sound, looking at the group of young girls walking over with charming laughter.

They were several delicate, green young girls, just like flower buds in early spring that had yet to bloom.

When they reached the end of the path, the two sides happened to see each other.

"Brother Yun!"

"Brother Yun, are you here to admire the flowers too?"

"Brother Yun, want to come with us?"

"Brother Yun..."

Fifteen-year-old girls were not as shy as those in the memories of his previous life. Instead, within their immaturity, there was a touch of boldness.

Seeing Lin Qingyun alone, they immediately giggled and spoke.

"No, I still have something to do today. Another day!" Lin Qingyun smiled and declined the girls' kind intentions.

If it had been before, he might not have rejected these girls' goodwill, but now, he had to work hard at cultivating.

He was still thinking of giving his father a surprise in the test four days later.

"Oh, so that's how it is. All right!"

"Brother Yun, don't forget what you said!"

"Next time, Brother Yun, you can't turn us down!"

The girls spoke one after another. There were also a few bold ones whose little faces flushed red as they shyly made an agreement for next time.

"Definitely, definitely!" Lin Qingyun nodded, waved, and bid farewell to the girls.

Following the small path, he continued forward, then turned another bend. The surrounding atmosphere became somewhat solemn.

Fighting Skill Hall was where the Xiao Family stored its fighting skills. Although none of them were high-level fighting skills, as one of the Xiao Family's important assets, there were always some guards hidden around it, protecting the place and preventing anyone from coveting the fighting skills within.

After walking another dozen steps or so, a very tall wooden hall soon appeared.

On the hall's plaque were three blood-red characters, Fighting Skill Hall, written in bold, sweeping strokes.

Of course, the original Fighting Skill Hall had not been like this. But after the Xiao Family's economy had multiplied several times over, Fighting Skill Hall had also been renovated along with it, and the fighting skills inside had increased by a great deal as well.

Hearing the clamor coming from Fighting Skill Hall, Lin Qingyun was not surprised. Although very few people usually came here, there was never any lack of hot-blooded youths sparring here.

The moment he entered Fighting Skill Hall, waves of cheers and applause from boys and girls rolled over.

Fighting Skill Hall was divided into two sections, east and west. The east side stored low-level fighting skills, while the west side was a fairly large Fighting Arena. Within the Fighting Arena were several sizable circular platforms.

On some of the platforms, a few young men were currently sparring, and from time to time, their brilliant moves drew cheers from the girls.

Lin Qingyun only glanced over and paid it no mind, turning to enter the eastern part of Fighting Skill Hall.

As soon as he entered, all kinds of noise were completely cut off.

"Qingyun, you little brat actually managed to bring yourself here!"

Just as he walked in, the old man guarding the eastern entrance of the fighting skill pavilion suddenly looked up and laughed.

"Fifth Elder, what kind of thing is that to say? I'm very hardworking, you know!" Lin Qingyun said with a smile.

"Haha, you little brat only know how to flatter yourself. Hurry up and go!" The old man shook his head and laughed a few times.

"Then I'm going!"

Lin Qingyun said.

"Go, go!"

The old man deliberately put on a disdainful look.

Lin Qingyun also smiled as he walked to a bookshelf and casually picked up a green Jade Slip.

Then he slowly unfurled it. On the back of the Jade Slip scroll after it opened, several black characters appeared.

Yellow Tier Low-level fighting skill: Raging Wind Palm!

Ps: I have a method: roll up sleeves, hook a finger, tickets, come over here!

Ps: In the original work, the manager of Fighting Skill Hall should only be an ordinary person, but this author was thinking, how could a large family possibly have only three elders? So on the original foundation, Fourth Elder was added as the protagonist's foster father. Since one was added, naturally another would be added too, and so there was Fifth Elder of Fighting Skill Hall.
