Chapter 5: Imperial Pole Saber Technique (Seeking collections and follow-up reading!)

Zhang Shaokang spoke a lot, first giving a general introduction to the martial arts realms, and then began to guide Yin Qi on practicing the Mortal Realm, including what matters to pay attention to, and what tricks there were, etc.

Overall, the Mortal Realm is seven parts eating and three parts practicing.

Seven parts eating means strengthening one's own blood and Qi by taking pills, bathing in medicinal baths, and eating high-energy foods such as demon beast meat, so the Mortal Realm is also known as the Nourishing Body Realm.

Three parts practicing is to refine what is 'eaten' into one's own blood and Qi, and when the blood and Qi are at their peak, to master the operation of blood and Qi, so that it can be directed like an arm.

As the son of the Human Emperor and the Qi Wang of the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty, Yin Qi didn't need to consider eating at all.

Yin Qi ordered Zhang Shaokang to customize the 'eating' for him.

This 'eating' also has its own rules; it cannot be eaten indiscriminately, just like prescribing medicine, the monarch, minister, assistant, and envoy are very particular, so that the efficiency can be maximized.

As a Heaven Realm expert, Zhang Shaokang was naturally more than capable of customizing the 'eating' for Yin Qi.

As for practicing, in order to let Zhang Shaokang guide him well, Yin Qi specially told the other party the Mortal Realm cultivation chapter of the "True Martial Divine Art," which made Zhang Shaokang kneel down on the spot to express his loyalty.

This is the "True Martial Divine Art," one of the most supreme martial arts divine arts of the human race.

Even if it is only the Mortal Realm chapter, it is worth a fortune.

Because the Mortal Realm is the foundation of martial arts.

How to lay a good foundation relates to a person's potential.

Yin Qi helped Zhang Shaokang up, and after some winning over of hearts, he began to practice martial arts.

For the mere Mortal Realm chapter, Zhang Shaokang could almost fully understand it at a glance; he first performed the fist technique himself, and then began to guide Yin Qi on practicing the fist technique move by move.

Under Zhang Shaokang's guidance, Yin Qi constantly adjusted his posture, slowly finishing the fist technique.

This set of fist techniques was ancient and heavy, and full of the spirit of extreme rigidity and extreme yang.

Every move and every style gave people the feeling of sweeping across the eight wildernesses.

After finishing the first set of fist techniques, Yin Qi immediately followed with the second set.

Although a bit stiff, with the blessing of genius bone structure and comprehension, he could barely finish it, being corrected by Zhang Shaokang several times in the middle.

But by the third set, Yin Qi was already able to finish the fist technique proficiently and without error, making Zhang Shaokang marvel.

Wasn't it rumored that the Highness's aptitude was very poor?

With this kind of aptitude, it was not much worse than his own back then.

Yin Qi was full of interest and completely immersed in practicing the fist technique. He practiced the fist technique over and over again.

He felt his blood and Qi gradually boiling, and his whole body was steaming with heat.

The fourth set...

The ninth set...

The eighteenth set...

The forty-ninth set.

Yin Qi could clearly feel that his body seemed to have become much stronger.

If it were an ordinary person, practicing the body-refining fist technique forty-nine times, they would probably be ruined, but he had eaten countless demon beast meat, spirit fruits, and spirit medicines since he was a child, and even various body-nourishing pills.

Although most of these medicinal effects had passed away, a considerable portion was still hidden in his body.

This practice of fist technique was to stimulate these hidden medicinal effects.

"Hoo hoo!"

Yin Qi stood with his fists retracted, exhaling a long breath of turbid air.

He felt refreshed, with a sense of smoothness from the inside out.

Zhang Shaokang was full of admiration: "Your Highness truly has good natural talent; you were able to practice forty-nine sets of fist techniques the first time you practiced, and you have practiced this body-refining fist technique to the realm of perfection; it is truly amazing. According to my estimation, in at most one month, Your Highness will be able to cultivate to the peak of the Mortal Realm."

Yin Qi smiled gently and exhorted: "General Zhang, regarding my practicing martial arts, do not spread it for the time being."

Although Zhang Shaokang didn't understand, he still nodded and said: "Your Highness, the humble official has already arranged for the medicinal bath; it is best for you to bathe now."

"Good!"

Yin Qi nodded and came to the bathroom.

This bathroom is not simple; it is actually an indoor bath, using immortal methods to connect the power of the earth vein's flame fire, which can burn the pool water to a maximum of about forty-five degrees, equivalent to an immortal cultivation version of a hot spring.

Soaking in this hot spring often can not only nourish health but also moisturize the skin.

Because of the medicinal bath, a large amount of rare spirit medicine was thrown into the pool today; the cost of this medicinal bath alone was enough for a family of five to eat for ten lifetimes.

The large bath was paved with cyan spirit jade, simple and generous.

Soaking in the pool water, Yin Qi felt as if countless small hands were massaging him, and his whole body felt an indescribable comfort, and the slight fatigue from practicing martial arts earlier was swept away.

Half an hour later, Yin Qi came out of the pool.

He put on his clothes and said to Zhang Shaokang: "Don't waste this pool of medicinal bath. Reward it to the people below."

"Your Highness is benevolent!"

Zhang Shaokang's eyes lit up, he said sincerely.

……

Dinner was eaten with Zhou Ji.

Although Yin Qi is the Qi Wang, he only has one wife, Zhou Ji.

The two have a very good relationship, respecting each other like guests.

Under the bright light of the night pearl, Zhou Ji's fair skin seemed to emit a layer of light, making Yin Qi feel a burst of heat in his heart, wishing he could pounce on her now.

Zhou Ji's cheeks were flushed; she had never felt such a fiery gaze from her husband.

Was this still her gentle and elegant husband?

In just over ten minutes, Yin Qi finished eating, and the table full of delicacies didn't taste like anything.

Seeing Yin Qi put down his chopsticks, Zhou Ji also subconsciously stopped.

Yin Qi asked: "My dear, have you finished eating?"

Zhou Ji nodded.

Yin Qi chuckled, stood up, and said: "My dear, it's getting late, we should rest too."

Zhou Ji rolled her eyes at Yin Qi and nodded shyly.

……

One night of wind and rain, flowers withered all over the ground.

…………

Twelve days later.

On the martial arts arena, only two figures were crossing quickly.

The saber light was cold, and the saber rang continuously.

Yin Qi held a precious saber, attacking Zhang Shaokang crazily.

Every saber was extremely domineering and extremely sharp, as if the other party was a life-and-death enemy, wanting to behead him under the saber.

Zhang Shaokang, however, seemed to be strolling in a courtyard, remaining unmoved no matter how Yin Qi attacked.

Time passed, and Yin Qi didn't know how long he had been attacking fiercely, until he was a bit out of breath and stopped.

Zhang Shaokang stood with his saber retracted and smiled, praising: "Your Highness, your "Imperial Pole Saber Technique" has already entered the hall, but Your Highness pursues rigidity too much, losing softness. It is said that rigidity is easy to break, and when Your Highness can achieve softness within rigidity, the saber technique can reach perfection."

Yin Qi thought thoughtfully and nodded slowly.

He had made rapid progress in these twelve days, not just practicing fist techniques, but also specifically practicing this "Imperial Pole Saber Technique," which was a matching saber technique for the "Human Emperor Scripture," with magnificent power.

After the Crown Prince assessment was determined, he would travel to the heavens.

No one knew what kind of world that was, and no one knew what his situation would be after he went, so in the case that his cultivation base could not be brought over, practicing a good saber technique was very urgent.

In a low-martial world, weapons have a greater effect.

Even if it is an ordinary person, if they can practice a good saber technique, they can also have extraordinary combat power.

In addition to practicing martial arts, he spent the rest of his time burying his head in study.

For example, learning common knowledge of immortal cultivation so that he could cultivate after entering the heavens; learning various medicinal bath secret recipes, ointments, and even the refining methods of low-level pills.

Compared to the low-martial world, this is the absolute advantage of the Fengshen world, so he naturally wouldn't let it go.

There were alchemists in the mansion, although they could only refine ordinary spirit pills.

But they were very familiar with refining ordinary pills, so Yin Qi specifically learned from them for several days, and even did it himself, until he successfully refined a furnace.

……

Returning to the study.

Yin Qi stood with his hands behind his back, standing by the window looking at the flowers in full bloom in the courtyard.

His gaze was deep, and he whispered to himself: "Tomorrow is the fifteenth Grand Court Meeting; I believe the Royal Father will announce the Crown Prince assessment at the Grand Court Meeting. I wonder what expressions Yin Shou and the Grand Historian will have?"

He had been extremely low-key for the past ten days, so low-key that the civil and military officials were probably thinking he had given up on the position of Crown Prince.

But starting tomorrow, the war was about to begin.

He could only win, not lose.
