Ancient Strengthening Techniques
One of the Twelve Portraits of Beauty, Divine Body
And at that moment, the severely injured Qing Shui was supported by two women into a hidden cave!
The three entered carefully. If there was a normal ferocious beast, they would be able to sense it. Moreover, Canghai Mingyue was at the peak in Xiantian, so an ordinary demonic beast would not be his match. That's why they're not too worried.
The entrance was very small and it was only possible for the three of them to enter at the same time. It would be too small for the fourth person. As soon as they entered, Qing Shui discovered that/it was a very small cave. It was a small cave shaped like ” ”, with the direction of the last scratch of the character ” z ” looking for where one can see the whole cave.
[1]: The author has used Chinese characters ’’ ⁇ ’’ which we replaced with z. In addition to the above point, the Chinese character strokes are similar to z.
There was a thick layer of dust on the ground. That is evidence to show that/it has been a long time since a person or some animal entered, as there are no traces left in the dust.
’’ I'll come to heal my wounds. Mmmm, I won't be wearing clothes, so unless something happens, don't remind me for four hours. ” Qing Shui grinned and struggled as he headed inside.
Canghai Mingyue and Huoyun Liu-Li spat as they cast reproachful gazes at Qing Shui!
Qing Shui was also afraid that the two women would leave because he would be in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal. That was why he could only come up with this plan which Qing Shui knew that/it would be very effective when there were both of them. If it was only Huoyun Liu-Li herself, Qing Shui would not guarantee that/it would work …
Qing Shui went to the deepest corner, and Qing Shui was happy that/it was actually there another turn deep inside, so he glanced.
”Hmmm?!”
Qing Shui was surprised to see that/it had an empty plot of land with a circumference of 2 meters but with its deepest part sinking. In the sinking place was where the underground springs flowed. To think that/it was such a small place was a rich land that was equipped with springs as well.
However, this was not what stunned Qing Shui. Qing Shui saw the painting hanging on the wall. It was a human-sized portrait of a woman and with just one glance, Qing Shui was very interested in the characters in the painting.
The woman in the painting was wearing snow-white silk, her hair was done with a snow-white hair stick inserted, looking unstained. The woman's expression was covered by a snow-white silk scarf, revealing a pair of deep, beautiful black eyes that surpassed human nature, giving off a majestic aura.
Qing Shui looked at him in a daze for so long that one could finish a cup of tea before he regained consciousness. The woman in the painting truly had an unparalleled beauty, and only that pair of eyes as well as her soft and slender posture were hard to describe by words. It was a very pretty situation.
Qing Shui admired the divine beauty of the woman in the painting and at the same time, was full of admiration towards the divine technique used to create this painting. Such painting techniques are truly amazing.
’’ One of twelve beauty portraits! ’’ Qing Shui suddenly saw a few words written on top of the painting.
The words were written in bold and vigorous letters, with male strength but female beauty. Qing Shui did not know whether these words were from men or women.
Upon seeing the image, Qing Shui subconsciously recalled the Ferocious Tiger Leaving the Portrait Mountains and the white stork painting in The White Crane Spreading its Wing Curtain. They both have benefited him a lot.
However, how did this beauty portrait benefit him?
Qing Shui walked over and carefully took this painting off the wall, and checked to see that/it had no one around before he entered the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal.
Qing Shui had thought of the fact that his/her soul was attracted by just a painting. The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. If he was facing a real person, and if that person was an enemy, he would die at least a hundred times.
This was the true power of beauty, to be able to attract one's soul. This is what is meant to have unparalleled beauty, beauty that can lead to the fall of various countries and cities, which can bring problems for the country and its people. Femme fatale was not enough to describe her beauty.
Qing Shui placed this portrait of beauty on one side of the magnificent screen he had. When he saw the woman in the painting, he was once again attracted to her. That uncontrollable urge made Qing Shui sigh to himself.
He took off his clothes and gradually circulated the Qi of the Ancient Strengthening Technique. The excruciating pain created a dense layer of sweat all over his body.
However, Qing Shui clenched his teeth and held on. He knew that/that if he allowed the Qi Ancient Strengthening Technique to heal his wounds automatically, it would take a very long time. Qing Shui had no time to wait.
After 90 cycles, Qing Shui nearly collapsed, but the effect was overwhelming. It was time for All the Food Soup Ingredients he had prepared beforehand to use.
Unable to go through any training, lying on the ground, Qing Shui couldn't help but throw another glance towards that beauty portrait. The pair of eyes in the painting were so beautifully bewildering, so much so that it was as if the beauty had surpassed that of a human.
A pair of black and deep eyes that surpassed human beauty was almost like the combination of the eyes of Canghai Mingyue and Yiye Jiange. Even the aura it gave off was also a combination of the two.
Yiye Jiange and Canghai Mingyue were already amazed towards Qing Shui, they were the most beautiful women he had ever met and he could not imagine that/it was a woman more beautiful than them.
However, there was this portrait right in front of him, with a pair of beautiful eyes that would let all the women who claimed to be beautiful die of shame!
That incredible figure was not much different from Huoyun Liu-Li and Canghai Mingyue’s, so when Qing Shui saw this painting, he initially thought that/it was Canghai Mingyue. That pair of eyes and aura bore a 50% resemblance to his.
One of the twelve beauty portraits, which means there are eleven other portraits. When Qing Shui took this painting earlier, he realized that/it was actually done on beast parchment, and it felt much stronger than the Golden Venomous Snake King. Both are absolutely incomparable!
Therefore, Qing Shui guessed that/it was made of a demonic beast at least of the Martial King level. This made Qing Shui come to the conclusion that/it was the person who drew this painting had exemplary martial techniques or came from a very wealthy family. However, sometimes even if one had money, one might not be able to buy such items.
This painting was extremely beautiful, but Qing Shui had no idea what the point was!
After resting, Qing Shui continued to grit his teeth, circulating the Qi of the Ancient Strengthening Technique. This time, it was clearly less painful than the previous time, and the Qi from the gold spots Enriching Ancient Technique continued to repair Qing Shui's damaged body.
Just like that, every time after Qing Shui took a break, he would cultivate one round of Ancient Strengthening Techniques. The power of the Ancient Strengthening Technique lied because it strengthened the physical body, softened muscles and bones, and even its ability to heal wounds was not much worse than a miracle medicine. As long as the practitioner had breath left in him, he would not die.
Repeating such a cycle for one day, Qing Shui's serious injuries had already healed by 20%. Qing Shui had already started practicing other martial techniques. He did not want to waste the time he had in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal for this visit.
Several times when Qing Shui had found danger or when he was fighting an enemy, especially when he was fighting a stronger enemy, he had mostly depended on needle items. He had depended on Golden Needles before, and now, he was even equipped with Coldsteel Needles which had cold poison on them.
The first time the Golden Needle was used, was when he killed a Xiantian, and now Coldsteel Needles had crippled the blind old man who was a great expert. Although it could be said that/it was him using a trick, Qing Shui knew that/it was a cold poison would definitely have an amazing role to play.
Soaring Crane Steps!
Qing Shui washed all the Gold Combat Armors, helmets and boots. He begins to practice the repetitive Derek Towards Steps as he discovers that/it still has plenty of room for his growth. Furthermore, the greater the mastery, the better it will be able to save on energy expenditure. It had caused Qing Shui to have the determination to practice the Basic Sword Technique.
Time passed by very quickly, and Qing Shui's wounds had already mostly healed. He went to his bed and changed into clean clothes. However, unintentionally, he looked at the back of the painting.
’’ No words! ’’
Qing Shui remembered how when he took it off the wall outside, and how he was so attracted by the woman in the painting that he was unable to inspect the back of the painting. And after he entered the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal, he did not roll the scroll, causing him to only discover that/it was there words behind after he spent nearly half a month in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal.
Qing Shui rushed over to look at those few lines of words. The handwriting indicates that/it they are from the same person who has written the words in front!
There were a total of twelve such portraits, and completed by Art Maestro, Jiang Di after he had explored the world of the nine continents for three hundred years and had seen all the beauties in the world. Each of these paintings was finished after Jiang Di met the beautiful women and united them in painting!
Seeing this, Qing Shui finally understood. There can't be such a beautiful woman. At the same time, he was also surprised that/that this Master Artist was actually at the maestro level. His painting technique could be said to have reached the highest peak.
Although these twelve portraits of beauty are made by combining the traits of various beauties around the world and are not taken with references taken from just one woman alone, with so many people in the world, it was not impossible for such a beauty to exist.
Twelve beauty portraits depict twelve types of extreme beauty, the beauty of an unparalleled generation, with unparalleled beauty, a beauty that can lead to the fall of countries and cities, and the, beauty that can bring turmoil to a country and its people, beauty that is so extraordinary. captivating to the bones, beauty that transcends man, beauty that expresses intellectual and elegance, but none of them can summarize everything.
Beauty portraits are not only pleasing to the mind and eyes, painting techniques can even look through a person's exterior to look into the muscles and bones. The women in the twelve portraits all had divine bodies, and had a bearable quality. Each of them is an incredible treasure.
Seeing this, Qing Shui became dazed. Thinking that/it was a portrait of beauty that she thought could only be used to let her disgusting imagination run wild would have such a layer of conception. Qing Shui couldn't help but think of Qinghan Ye, thinking of that incredible dream of Duo cultivation. He did not know if the Nine Yin body was inserted as one of the divine bodies.
