Chapter 6 – Blue Lotus Martial Arts
Chapter 6 The Art of the Blue Lotus.
Qing Luo felt the ambivalence of happiness and bitterness Before, as fate had decided that Qing Shui would not be able to cultivate, either, it would not be a problem for him to just live his life peacefully within the Qing Clan. However, now that he had recovered and was able to practice martial arts, it was unknown. In the future, whether it would be a blessing or a tragedy for the Qing Clan….
Compared to Qing Luo, Qing Yi was in a euphoria., her son finally recovered, she did not need to hear someone call him trash anymore. If not for this change, Qing Yi was worried that Qing Shui would eventually go insane because of his desire to gain power.
“Qing Shui, my current self does not have the ability to bring you back to your true home.However, since you have recovered, you can finally take a small step into the path of cultivation. In the future, you will have to rely on your own strength to regain what was originally yours. ”
Because of her memories from when she was a baby, Qing Shui was able to understand part of what Qing Yi had said. Enough for now. As he became stronger, he would naturally understand more about the truth behind his background.
Qing Luo gently sighed, after which she nodded her head and patted Qing Shui's head before leaving.
“Mother, I feel Grandpa is a bit unwilling to let me cultivate?” Qing Shui curiously asked.
“How is that possible? There was no such thing, your Grandfather was just worried because it was inevitable to fight with other cultivators on the path of cultivation. He was just worried you'd get hurt. " Qing Yi warmly said as she patted Qing Shui's head.
“Mother, can Mom teach me now? I want to start immediately. " After all, he had not even mastered the first step of the Ancient Strengthening Technique. Even if he had mastered it, the Ancient Strengthening Technique could only be executed to the highest level of potential when it complemented the martial technique. It would also be his first experience in martial arts training, therefore he also wished he could learn and show those impressive-looking movements.
"Unbelievably, come here Qing Shui, I will give you my insight into the dao of martial arts." Qing Yi happily pulled Qing Shui closer.
"Good!"
———
Qing Yi's study room was not too spacious, but clean and orderly. The faint smell of ancient books permeated the room, it was a pleasant smell.
“Qing Shui, martial arts cultivation can be very difficult. Are you afraid." Qing Yi softly asked as she sat down next to Qing Shui.
“I'm not afraid of mom. No matter how many obstacles are placed before me, I will treat it as my stepping stone, I will never stumble! ”
Qing Yi softly laughed, the temperament of this son is exactly the same as his father! Unknowingly, a wave of melancholy invaded his heart as he thought of Qing Shui's father.
“Qing Shui, cultivation can generally be divided into 2 paths. First is the construction of the foundation, second is the martial technique. Only by fusing the two together would one be able to unleash a truly great power.
“Mother, does this mean the stronger one's foundation, the greater the strength it can demonstrate?” Qing Shui asked after pondering for a while.
Qing Yi was astonished, Qing Shui's comprehension level was too high…
“You could say so, as the saying goes; practicing martial arts without first building a solid foundation, in the end it all goes to waste. ”
"Mother, then .. can you teach me the Blue Lotus Art of our family?" Qing Shui had been in the Qing Clan for 8 years, there was no reason why he would not know the existence of the Qing Clan's secret martial skills.
“OK, Blue Lotus Art is the strongest set of martial techniques passed down from our Qing Clan ancestors. In addition to allowing one to strengthen his body, the Blue Lotus Art also used offensive and defensive techniques. You should understand that most martial arts practiced by cultivators only serve to strengthen one's body - Many of those arts do not include offensive techniques, let alone defensive techniques. The Blue Lotus Art had a higher level compared to that! "
"Wow .. isn't the Blue Lotus Art incomparable when compared to other cultivation techniques?" Qing Shui asked in admiration.
Qing Yi lamented, “A long time ago, the ancestors from our Qing Clan developed the Blue Lotus Art Technique to the 9th Lotus Manifestation Stage. He became an unparalleled expert in his time, but after countless generations, our Qing Clan has declined to the point where we can only survive in this small mountain village. "
“The Blue Lotus Art, having comprehended and attained mastery of each stage, will result in the embodiment of the protective lotus. Protective lotuses can then be used to attack or defend. The forefather mentioned had almost managed to cultivate the Blue Lotus Art to its peak, resulting in the manifestation of the 9 protective lotuses! "
“Mother, then how is your cultivation stage? How many lotuses can you make today? ” Qing Shui asked.
Qing Yi lowered her head and said with a hint of embarrassment, "Only these two are currently ..."
"Hmm, then what about Grandpa?" Qing Shui continued to ask.
“Your grandfather has reached the 3rd Lotus Manifestation stage. He is currently the strongest person in our Qing Clan, having reached the peak of the Hou Tian stage. " Qing Yi replied.
“Then how many stages can be divided in the Blue Lotus Art? To what level can one develop it? "
“Our Blue Lotus Art consists of a total of 10 stages. At the Martial Warrior and Martial General stage, it was simply impossible to realize any lotus. Only when one reached the stage of Martial Commander, Class 7, would one be able to realize a single lotus. The second Lotus was in Martial Commander, Class 8. And finally, the third lotus was in Martial Commander, Class 10! (the Hou Tian Peak)
"Then, how did the ancestors cultivate up to the stage of manifesting 9 lotuses?"
Seeing Qing Shui confusedly blink her beautiful eyes, Qing Yi gently sighed ... Although Qing Shui was very intelligent, he could not tell her about this right now ..
“The cultivation method for the next stage of the Blue Lotus Art has been gone for a long time .. Right now we only have methods up to the Hou Tian realm .. As for the stages passing through the Xian Tian Realm, we don't know how to proceed. That was why your grandfather was stuck at the peak of Hou Tian, unable to break through into the Xian Tian Realm. "
“Mother will now instruct you on the initial position of Blue Lotus Art.” Qing Yi stood up and gestured for Qing Shui to follow her.

In the basement.
Qing Yi educated Qing Shui about the various meridians and energy channels within the human body. Before this, Qing Shui had obtained this information from the Ancient Strengthening Technique, therefore it was easy for him to follow Qing Yi's teachings. After listening to Qing Yi share her knowledge, Qing Shui also gained enlightenment in terms of developing the Ancient Strengthening Technique
2 Hours later.
When Qing Yi left, Qing Shui slowly entered a meditative state.
Mediation, this is a classic practice in the way of cultivation. This was especially true when cultivating high-level martial arts. If one could not even calm his heart, he would not be able to go far to become an expert.
Seeing the ease in which Qing Shui entered a meditative state, Qing Yi could not help but be surprised. His talent is truly extraordinary!
Qing Shui was cultivating based on the oracle formula of the Blue Lotus Art, gradually entering a state similar to when he was cultivating the Ancient Strengthening Technique, arriving at the fantasy realm, he was in, it was as if his soul had been projected out of his body.
Finally, Qing Shui could feel a hair-thin strand of Qi emerging from Dan Tian [1], flowing along his energy channels and circulating around his body. This Qi strand felt extremely fragile, as if it could break up at any moment.
Gradually, after the Qi circulated for one day and night, the Qi flowed back to his Dan Tian.
Qing Shui finally managed to condense Qi! Thankfully, she opened her eyes with a face full of joy.
"I imagine that if I told mom about this success, she would definitely be surprised" he said with a grin.
