Ancient Strengthening Techniques
Chapter 5 – Qing Shui wants to practice martial arts
Chapter 5 Qing Shui! cultivate!
These days were very peaceful, despite the fact that he was still unable to form that one strand of Qi, Qing Shui was still practicing the Ancient Strengthening Technique endlessly. He believed that he would succeed sooner or later.
The Yin-Yang symbol within his sea of consciousness was constantly feeding his body, Qing Shui could feel his constitution slowly improving. The improvements did not refer to his muscles but to his increasingly resilient bones and organs!
Qing Shui still looked small and weak. However, in the middle of his thin and delicate body frame one could now feel a hint of vitality that was not there before! The sense of charm within his eyes had also grown to the point where it had a slight profound impression.
Qing Shui knew that he had to reveal the current state of his body, telling them that he had rebuilt his constitution and could start practicing martial arts. Initially, Qing Shui planned to keep this a secret, but he longed for the day where the hope in Qing Yi's eyes would materialize. Therefore, Qing Shui decided to tell Qing Yi the truth.
As he returned from the mountains, within the courtyard of the Qing House, the clan members of the 3rd generation were all eagerly practicing the Qing Clan's secret technique - the Blue Lotus Art
Since Qing Shui was unable to cultivate for several years, there was now a considerable distance between him and the other clan members, so they no longer cared when they saw this "junk" pass by.
In the deepest part of the Qing Mansion.
Qing Yi stood at the entrance of the house. This is the place where mothers and children live all their lives. There is a small garden here, full of plants and flowers and a medium-sized lake with blue carp swimming leisurely, giving off a rustic feeling as they gaze at this place.
Qing Yi was standing by the lake, her beautiful face beside her gentle and graceful demeanor giving off a sense of beauty that could only be described as a drowning fish falling [1]. At this moment it was as if Qing Yi was the perfect portrait of beauty! However, there were times where one could feel sadness radiating as he stood there.
Qing Shui had already seen his mother from a distance, this was the umpteenth time he had seen Qing Yi standing in exactly the same position. “Sigh... but what can I do now?” In order to achieve his wish, I must first become stronger than I am today.
At the age of 1 year, Qing Shui could already understand the things that the people around him were saying. Qing Yi naturally did not know this and often sighed and talked to her about her secret as a form of release when Qing Shui was a baby.
Qing Shui quietly slipped out before he shouted in a loud voice "Mother, I'm back, I've recovered, I'm fine now !!" She did not want Qing Yi to know that she had witnessed her despair before. She felt that this despair of hers was too personal to be violated, therefore Qing Shui decided to announce her arrival loudly so that Qing Yi could pay attention to her.
It was as he thought, as soon as Qing Yi heard his voice, her expression instantly changed, greeting her with a smile on her face without any sign of her melancholy before.
Qing Shui felt a stab of pain in his heart. “Mommy suffered a lot, but in order not to worry me, she always pretended to be happy in front of me. Only in the middle of the night, when there was no one around, would she end up crying. "
“Mother, I've made a full recovery! Now I can cultivate! " Qing Shui happily smiled.
“Do you do something that is forbidden? Don't worry me Qing Shui, I just want you to be happy .. ”Qing Yi slightly scolded Qing Shui, because in his expert opinion it was almost impossible for Qing Shui to recover. There was almost no way for him to start cultivating because of his weak heart.
Qing Shui knew that it would not be easy for Qing Yi to believe him.
“Mother, that's right. These few days, Grandfather has been brewing a lot of purple ginseng soup for me to consume. Grandfather said that this 100-year-old ginseng was very valuable! ” Qing Shui spoke excitedly like a child.
After hearing this, Qing Yi felt that there was a small possibility that Qing Shui's constitution could actually improve! She then asked "Qing Shui, tell me the details of everything that happened, I want to be clear before making any diagnosis".
“Two days ago, after drinking 100 years ginseng drink, I felt full of energy. It was as if my shortness of breath problem had also disappeared! My mom has banned me from running because my heart may not be able to withstand the stress. However, at that moment I could feel the boundless energy within me. So I ran faster and faster, climbed the mountain and returned to the Qing Mansion, but nothing bad happened to me! ” Qing Shui hurriedly explained.
"Is this true…? Shui`er, what are you saying is true ?! ” Qing Yi's eyes glazed over.
" This is the truth. Even Grandpa knew about it, he checked my pulse and said that I was fine. To be more certain he wanted to take me to Doctor Wu, so I came to invite mother to go with me! " Qing Shui excitedly pulled Qing Yi's sleeves slightly as he spoke.
"Good! Let's go together! ” Qing Yi happily held Qing Shui's hand. The excitement in his heart was forcefully suppressed, but Qing Shui could still feel it. Now he is only temporarily happy, but in the future, I will make sure he stays happy forever!
"Master Qing Clan, congratulations! Young Master Qing Shui had absolutely no problems with his body. In fact, his internal organs were even stronger than ordinary people. This recovery rate was truly too astonishing! ” Doctor Wu enthusiastically added.
At this moment, only a few sentences from Doctor Wu confirming Qing Shui's recovery caused tears to flow down Qing Yi's face. She tightly hugged Qing Shui. Qing Shui smiled when he knew that these were tears that were not born of sadness, but came from happiness!
"Dear mother .. Don't cry." Qing Shui gently wiped the tears off his face.
After escorting Doctor Wu out, Qing Luo returned with a strange expression on her face.
Originally, Qing Shui had a very weak constitution, unsuitable for practicing martial arts. Qing Luo was also sad for him. After all, Qing Shui was the son of his beloved daughter. However, if Qing Shui managed to recover, he would definitely be stronger than average when compared to people from the same martial world. If he were to grow up, he would definitely become an outstanding genius, and given how much he loved his mother, he would truly take revenge in the future! Sigh, this must be karma ..
"Grandfather, Mother, I want to cultivate!" These few words from Qing Shui greatly shocked Qing Luo and Qing Yi.
