Chapter 28: The Ancient Warrior

  Night falls, and the lights come on.

  After resting for a whole afternoon, Zhang Yi felt that his body was still a bit sore, but it didn't affect his movements. He hadn't used the Life Force Liquid to nourish his body because he knew very well that it was difficult for him to absorb the spiritual energy from the air and use it for himself. Therefore, the Life Force Liquid in his body was extremely precious, and unless he could find a better way to cultivate more of it, he wouldn't easily use it.

  "Zhang Yi, this is where I usually cultivate my skills. From now on, you can come in and cultivate at any time." Yao Tianxiao led Zhang Yi to a door at the innermost part of the courtyard and pushed it open.

  Zhang Yi's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise as he followed Yao Tianxiao into the room.

  "Huh?"

  As he entered the quiet room, Zhang Yi suddenly felt a cool breeze rushing towards him.

  "Mr. Yao, it's well-ventilated here, the air is quite fresh, seems even fresher than outside." Zhang Yi said with a smile.

  Yao Tianxiao chuckled strangely: "Fresh air? Haha... You're right, you haven't really started cultivating yet, so it's natural that you wouldn't know about the abundant heavenly and earthly spiritual energy here. I spent a whole 800 million on the black market to buy the Gathering Spirit Array diagram, and personally set up the array here to gather the heavenly and earthly spiritual energy from all directions for my own use."

  Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy?

  The "Rejuvenation Technique" I obtained says that it can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, convert it into vital fluid, can it be done here?

  With a thought, Zhang Yi silently followed the "Hui Chun Jue" cultivation route, drawing out the vital energy liquid from the Dan Tian Sheng Qi Quan, and began to circulate it in his meridians.

  A thread of coolness made Zhang Yi feel as if he had put on a refreshing outer garment, and at the same time that his whole body felt comfortable, it seemed as if all the pores of his sweat were expanding, and threads of heavenly energy wandering in the air entered his body through the pores.

  In the cinnabar field.

  When the first strand of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy was absorbed into his body and entered the Life Spring, Zhang Yi's body stiffened slightly. Under the control of his mind, a two-inch long, hair-thin strand of pale green Life Liquid floated out from the Life Spring.

  As more and more heavenly energy enters the Spring of Life, more and more life liquid is also generated inside.

  "I understand now. Previously, I couldn't absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for my own use because the concentration of spiritual energy outside was too low. In my current state, it's fundamentally impossible to absorb it. But it's different here. The concentration of spiritual energy here is several times thicker than outside, so I can clearly feel the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and easily absorb and refine it, cultivating the elixir of life!"

  Zhang Yi was overjoyed when he suddenly understood this point.

  Before, he needed to absorb the spiritual energy contained in precious antiques in order to refine it into Vitality Liquid. Now, he had finally figured out another way.

  "Here, I can constantly cultivate the elixir of life, it's great!"

  With a faint cheer, Zhang Yi walked quietly towards Yao Tianxiao.

  Yao Tianxiao walked to the front of the mat, sat down cross-legged, and pointed to a mat in front of him, saying: "Zhang Yi, sit on this mat in front of me. I will inject the true energy that I have cultivated into your body, and then follow the cultivation route to flow through your meridians. You must remember the route of the true energy's flow. Once I withdraw my true energy, you can try to meditate and guide the heavenly spiritual energy into your body to cultivate true energy."

  Zhang Yi followed Yao Tianxiao's instructions, sat cross-legged with his back to him, and asked: "Senior Yao, does the cultivation method you want to teach me have a name?"

  Yao Tianxiao was taken aback, and then he laughed awkwardly: "I had actually forgotten about this matter. The cultivation method I practice is something I learned from a senior in the ancient martial world when I was young due to a coincidence. Its name is called 'Taiji Great Method'."

  The Great Law of Yin and Yang

  Zhang Yi meditated for a moment, then resolutely withdrew all the vital energy circulating within his body into his dantian without leaving any behind. Only then did he open his mouth to say: "Elder Yao, I'm ready. Let's begin?"

  "Good! You must focus your mind and let your entire consciousness follow the route of the true energy flowing within your body." Yao Tianxiao said in a low voice.

  Zhang Yi, sitting cross-legged, suddenly felt a warm current flowing into his body from the two hands that Yao Tianxiao had placed on his back. The two warm currents merged together in an instant and then flowed into one of Zhang Yi's meridians.

  Two minutes later.

  Yao Tianxiao's old body suddenly shook violently, his closed eyes snapped open in an instant, a burst of intense light shot out, and a sense of shock rose from the bottom of his heart.

  As the true Qi in the meridians stops for two seconds and then slowly starts flowing again.

  The true energy that kept pouring into Zhang Yi's meridians followed a specific route of circulation, running for five full cycles before it was slowly drawn out and disappeared within his body.

  "Zhang Yi, you really haven't cultivated true energy before?" Yao Tianxiao's body disappeared behind the couch where Zhang Yi was sitting, and in the next moment, he appeared in front of Zhang Yi, squatting down, his eyes staring straight at Zhang Yi.

  "No!"

  Zhang Yi firmly remembered his master's teachings and strongly denied it.

  Yao Tianxiao withdrew his gaze, a look of bewilderment appearing on his face as he muttered to himself: "Strange... it's really too strange! The meridians in your body have a long section that is different from the meridians in other places, with a width several times wider than the meridians in other places, and an extremely strong flexibility. The impurities blocked inside are also all cleared out, it's truly unbelievable."

  Zhang Yi understood Yao Tianxiao's meaning.

  The section of the meridian he mentioned, which is several times wider than other places, is a section of the meridian that runs along the route of the "Hui Chun Jue" cultivation. This section of the meridian had already been opened up and expanded, so Yao Tian Xiao didn't bother to explore other meridians in his body, leaving him puzzled.

  A hint of guilt rose from the bottom of his heart, and Zhang Yi spoke up: "Elder Yao, this situation won't have a bad impact on my cultivation of the 'Yin Yang Great Method', will it?"

  Yao Tianxiao suppressed his doubts and shook his head, saying: "There is some impact, but it's a good influence. At the very least, when you cultivate true energy, and the true energy flows through this meridian, the speed of circulation will be much faster, which greatly increases your cultivation speed."

  As he spoke, he took out a book from his bosom and handed it to Zhang Yi, saying: "This is the specific cultivation route of the Yin Yang Great Law, as well as the clear and famous realm of cultivation. Take a look and remember it in your heart."

  "Good!"

  Zhang Yi took over the book and his eyes fell on the cover, then he saw a Tai Chi pattern and four black characters "Yin Yang Great Law".

  "Zhang Yi, you take a look yourself! I'm going to rest first, old man."

  Yao Tianxiao said, leaning on his cane and walking out of the quiet room door, and also closing the door with one hand.

  Zhang Yi sat cross-legged on a couch, opening "The Great Law of Yin and Yang" to read.

  Half an hour later, a few smiles appeared on his handsome face, and he had some understanding of the way of cultivation.

  Ancient Warriors, is a general term for cultivators in the cultivation world.

  The levels of ancient martial artists are divided into four major realms: Post-Heaven Realm, Pre-Heaven Realm, True Energy External Release, and Cultivating Energy to Refine Essence.

  And each boundary is further divided into three levels: primary, intermediate and advanced.

  Of course, above the level of refining Qi and transforming essence, there should be even higher levels. However, in "The Great Law of Yin and Yang", it is only mentioned briefly and no detailed level names are specified.

  Anyone who cultivates, when they cultivate their first strand of true energy and have the power of a hundred kilograms in one punch, can be considered a post-heavenly beginner-level ancient martial artist.

  "Hmm..."

  Zhang Yi closed the book and let out a quiet sigh of relief.

  He didn't expect that after coming to Shibatown, he would encounter such a great opportunity.

  Ancient Warrior!

  That's like the existence of a martial arts master in novels or TV dramas, the higher the cultivation, the stronger the strength, and flying on rooftops and walking on walls, pulling mountains and rivers are not a problem.

  "Do I possess the true qi if I have the vital fluid in my body? If I mobilize the vital fluid and operate it according to the cultivation route of 'The Great Law of Yin and Yang', what effect will it have?"

  Thinking of this, he immediately began to try.

  Controlling the vital energy inside his body, he quickly circulated it along the route of the Grand Law of Yin and Yang. Suddenly, a faint suction force was generated, and a strand of heavenly spiritual energy drilled into his body.

  Light green vital fluid, flowing into the previously unblocked meridians, continuously discharging the impurities contained inside out of the body, continuously expanding the width of the meridians, nourishing the flexibility of the meridians.

  Because the density of heaven and earth spiritual energy contained in this quiet room is very high, Zhang Yi's absorption speed of heaven and earth spiritual energy is also increasing bit by bit.

  He fell into a state of profound mystery.

  It was as if he was wrapped in a warm water, feeling extremely comfortable, and there seemed to be a hint of coolness in the warmth that made him feel refreshed all over.

  Around 4:00 in the morning.

  In the quiet room, Zhang Yi slowly opened his eyes. When he clearly smelled the foul odor on him, his body suddenly sprang up.

  After rushing out of the quiet room at the fastest speed, Zhang Yi came to the bathroom next door, quickly turned on the light and then opened the shower.

  Ma Li quickly stripped himself naked, and Zhang Yi let the icy cold water pour down on his head.

  He rinsed himself for a full twenty minutes and used soap three times before he was satisfied, then grabbed the towel he had just bought to dry himself off.

  "Oh no, I forgot to pack a change of clothes!"

  Zhang Yi's smile froze on his face as he looked at the dirty clothes still emitting a foul smell on the ground, and his lips moved slightly.

  A door of a room nearby opened from inside.

  The bathroom and toilet in the backyard were in the same room, Yao Tiantian, who was full of energy, held back **swelling, exercising her arms and legs while humming a popular song, walking towards the bathroom.

  "Creak..."

  The bathroom door was pulled open and Yao Tiantian stepped in with big strides while lifting her head.

  "Ugh... stinky..."

  A high-pitched scream broke the tranquility of the backyard, coming from the bathroom.

  Suddenly!

  The lights in several rooms of the backyard house turned on.
