Chapter 93: The Art of Breathing

  As for Su Yu's question, Zhao Yang naturally couldn't give her any answer. Should he tell her that he wasn't a martial artist, but a 'Cultivator'? This was obviously impossible.

  "Alright, what else do you want to ask? Go ahead and ask. After you're done, it's my turn." Zhao Yang said.

  After seeing that Zhao Yang had already reached the Xiantian realm, Su Yu Fei's last bit of pride was completely gone. What's embarrassing about asking a Xiantian realm expert for guidance?

  To be honest, it's an honor for oneself, not many warriors have the opportunity to come into contact with a master of the Innate Realm in their lifetime, let alone ask for their guidance.

  Su Yu Fei suppressed the shock in her heart and spoke again: "There's one more thing I'd like to ask you."

  "Speak," Zhao Yang said succinctly.

  "Uh, yes, my current cultivation has been stagnant at the Easy Mysterious Boundary for over a year now, and I still can't break through to the 'Transforming Power' cultivation..." Su Yu Fei looked at Zhao Yang with a hint of hesitation, her eyes filled with a thread of expectation. At this moment, she had long forgotten that morning by the lake when Zhao Yang had "teased" her, and the slight unhappiness had been thrown far away.

  Zhao Yang nodded, "I understand what you mean. Your problem, when I first saw you practicing by the lake, I had already seen some clues. If you continue to practice as before, it will take at least another year or so to make a breakthrough."

  "So you mean..."

  "Later I can teach you a set of Qigong exercises, as long as you cooperate with the practice of this Qigong exercise, I can guarantee that you will be able to break through to 'Transforming Energy' within two or three months."

  "Really?" Su Yu Fei's face was filled with surprise and a hint of disbelief as she looked at Zhao Yang.

  "Of course. Am I going to cheat you?" Zhao raised an eyebrow. Immediately, he continued: "However, before teaching you the art of Qi circulation, you must first answer my question."

  "Alright, ask away. I'll tell you everything I know!" Su Yuwei said with a smile. At this point, even if Zhao Yang asked her for her three sizes, she would definitely report them out without hesitation.

  "Hmm..." Zhao Yang hesitated for a moment before speaking: "I'd like to ask, what is the highest level of cultivation among your family's seniors? Or, put another way, have you seen or heard of anyone with the highest level of cultivation reaching what kind of state?"

  Huh?

  Su Yuwei was taken aback, she didn't expect Zhao Yang to ask such a question. With a hint of weirdness, she looked at Zhao Yang and thought for a moment. Since she couldn't figure out Zhao Yang's intention, she decided not to think about it anymore. After a brief pause, she said directly: "As far as I know, the strongest cultivator in my family should be my grandfather. However, he is not as powerful as you, he has only reached the 'Jin Qi Yuan Man' stage and has not yet broken through to the Xian Tian realm."

  "Is that so......" Zhao's eyebrows furrowed slightly, his voice tinged with a hint of disappointment. If it was only at the 'Building Foundation' level, then it wouldn't have much significance.

  However, at this time Su Yu Fei suddenly said: "Right, I heard my grandfather say that I also have an uncle who became a Taoist monk in his early years. If we talk about cultivation, my grandfather said that more than ten years ago, my uncle was already in the Xian Tian realm..."

  Su Yu's words suddenly lifted Zhao Yang's spirits, "Do you know where your uncle is practicing Taoism? Or do you know of any powerful 'Taoist practitioners' anywhere?"

  This time, Zhao Yang asked directly with the two words 'cultivating Tao', not practicing martial arts! This has a fundamental difference. Practicing martial arts, after all, is just strengthening one's body and physical fitness. However, cultivating Tao is different, it cultivates the 'Tao', not martial arts!

  Su Yu Fei didn't understand why Zhao Yang was so curious about these questions, but still replied: "I heard my grandfather say that my uncle seemed to be cultivating in 'Wangwu Mountain'. As for where there are more powerful 'Taoist practitioners'... I'm not very clear about this. It should be in several Taoist holy lands."

  Su Yu Fei was not quite sure, after all she really did not understand things about this aspect.

  Zhao Yang nodded and didn't ask any more questions. At Su Yu Fei's current level, it was likely that she could only understand things up to this point. In any case, at least it could be confirmed that among those 'cultivators', there were indeed people who had reached the 'Condensing Qi' stage. As for whether there were even higher cultivations... that couldn't be said for sure.

  Moreover, Zhao Yang himself is now only at the initial stage of Qi Condensation, and he doesn't plan to explore the existence beyond the Qi Condensation stage so early.

  Although he wanted to figure out if there were truly 'like-minded people' in this world, the prerequisite was that he had to have enough self-preservation power first. If he rashly went to seek the truth, once he encountered someone with higher cultivation than him who had malicious intentions towards him, it would be a big disaster.

  "Hmm, alright. I don't have any more questions. I'll teach you the incantation for that Nasal Technique now." Zhao Yang said.

  Su Yuwei's face lit up with joy, saying: "You wait a moment, I'll go get a pen and paper to write it down, so I won't forget it all at once."

  "Uh-huh. Alright." Zhao Yang nodded his head.

  Su Yu Fei ran off to find paper and pen. Zhao Yang waited for a while at the entrance of the gym, then Su Yu Fei came running back.

  "Alright, you speak," Su Yu Fei said, holding a small notebook and a pen.

  At this point, Zhao Yang recited the incantation of a breathing technique and had Su Yu Fei memorize it. This breathing technique was a very basic method for cultivating internal energy, nothing special to Zhao Yang. But for Su Yu Fei, it could complement her practice of Xingyiquan and help her break through her current level.

  The whole Qigong exercise is not complicated, and the oral formula is only a few hundred words, so Su Yu Fei quickly memorized it all.

  At this time, Zhao Yang warned: "The best time to practice the Tuna technique is between 5 and 7 am. You need to persist in practicing for one and a half hours to two hours every day. Remember not to practice at noon, otherwise it will easily lead to the vigorous yang energy entering the body and causing serious consequences."

  "Uh-huh, okay. I know." Su Yuwei responded with a nod, then checked the mnemonic on her notebook again to make sure it was correct before nodding in satisfaction. She immediately looked up at Zhao Yang and, rarely, showed him a kind smile, waving her notebook and saying with a grin: "Thanks! It seems you're not so bad after all."

  Zhao Yang rolled his eyes directly after hearing this, and his attitude changed once he got what he wanted. Isn't it obvious that these are just words to take advantage of others?!

  "Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll take off then." Zhao Yang also didn't bother to keep chatting nonsense with Su Yu Fei.

  Su Yuwei got what she wanted, so she didn't have time to chat with Zhao Yang. She was thinking of finding a place to study the "Tuna Art" that she had just recorded in her book. So she waved her hand casually and said: "Okay, you can go if you have something to do. Remember to come back often when you're free, we can also practice together."

  Su Yuwei's so-called 'sparring' is simply to let Zhao Yang get a free hit and then give her some pointers. Otherwise, she hasn't even reached the level of 'transforming her energy', and with Zhao Yang, a master who has reached the 'Pre-Heavenly' realm, what kind of decent 'sparring' can they have? That's just asking for abuse.

  Zhao Yang didn't make another sound and simply raised one hand to wave before walking away...
