Chapter 4 Sword Practice
Chapter 4 Sword Technique Cultivation
“You said you practiced internal qi?”
He Tongtong sat on the recliner.
He looked at Chen Fan in shock.
To have developed true qi in only thirty days at the age of thirty-something, if it was a decade or so earlier, it would have been at least a moderately high martial arts qualification, right?
There was a pang of pity in his heart.
“As these days have passed, you should also know that the martial realm is divided into four realms: the Qi Nurturing Realm, the Qi Moving Realm, the Qi Condensation Realm, and the True Qi Realm.”
“Now you are also considered a Qi Nurturing Realm martial artist.”
“The true qi cultivated by a Qi Nurturing Realm martial artist cannot be utilized, but it can subconsciously enhance your physical quality.”
“From today onwards, in addition to practicing the Purple Extreme True Cloud Technique, you can also follow Little Cloud in practicing the Purple Extreme Sword Technique.”
“Thank you, Master.”
Chen Fan nodded his head.
Among the four realms of a martial artist, one had to start at the Qi Moving Realm in order to carry the internal qi of the dantian and add to one’s body.
Qi Nurturing Realm martial artists were just ordinary.
But a Qi Moving Realm martial artist would already be considered strong.
At the Purple Extreme Martial Hall, the hall master He Yitong was a Qi Condensation Realm martial artist.
Under He Yitong, there were only five people who were Qi Moving Realm martial artists.
“The Purple Pole Sword Technique has a total of 108 moves.”
“Right now, you are mainly focusing on mastering the sword technique sets.”
“When you’ve rehearsed the sword routine to perfection, I’ll feed you moves and practice actual combat.”
In the martial arts arena, He Yun’s stance was lithe.
She was excited to teach Chen Fan the Purple Extreme Sword Technique.
She had advanced to the Qi Moving Realm two months ago.
After that, all the matters of the martial arts center were handed over to her by He Yitong.
Around them, the disciples of the Purple Extreme Martial Hall, looking at Chen Fan, were all in a state of disbelief.
No one had thought that Chen Fan, who was in his thirties, had actually practiced true qi in just over a month.
“Brush! Brush ……”
Chen Fan held a wooden sword.
He practiced one move at a time, following He Yun’s instructions.
This side of the world was not safe.
He was learning martial arts for one in order to turn immortal in the future.
The second was to protect himself.
So under He Yun’s guidance, he learned very carefully.
“This is the Ten Perfection Pack.”
An hour later, He Yun handed Chen Fan a tonic packet.
“The cultivation of the Qi Nurturing Realm is mainly to grow one’s internal qi.”
“But growing the internal qi is extremely taxing on the body, so you must take a great tonic every day.”
“You’ve just broken through to the Qi Nurturing Realm, this one Ten Complete Great Tonic Pack is given to you free of charge by the martial arts center, after that you’ll have to get money to buy it if you want to use it again.”
He Yun looked at Chen Fan, his eyes shining brightly.
She was very optimistic about Chen Fan.
Among the disciples of the Purple Extreme Martial Hall, there were only a few who could use the God Nourishing Incense on a daily basis.
As for those who purchased the Ten Perfection Pack from the Martial Hall, there were even fewer.
The Ten Complete Mendicant Packs were filled with all sorts of precious medicinal herbs.
One packet costs two taels of silver.
In this world, one tael of silver can be exchanged for two hundred coins.
Ordinary people only spend one or two taels of silver a month.
“This stuff, is one pack a day enough?” Chen Fan inquired as he received the Ten Perfection Pack.
“……”
He Yun’s heart jumped as he paused and said, “Depending on your cultivation speed, it’s normally enough.”
She had a pang of pity.
If Chen Fan’s qualifications were a bit better and his cultivation speed was a bit faster, maybe she could have sold two packs a day.
Chen Fan walked away carrying the Ten Perfection Packs.
“I make a wish to permanently improve my martial artist qualifications.”
“I wish that this piece of stone will turn into a large piece of gold tomorrow.”
Time passed day by day.
Chen Fan completely integrated into White Stone City.
He had met many people during this period.
Each and every disciple of the martial arts school became acquainted with him.
Several of the restaurant keepers he frequented also got to know him.
At the same time, he also gained some understanding of the various forces in White Stone City. In addition to the official government.
The biggest force in White Stone City was a jianghu sect called the Iron Sword Sect.
Below the Iron Sword Sect, there were also three major families and two major gangs.
The three great families were the Zhao Family, the Qian Family, and the Sun Family.
The two gangs are the Black Tiger Gang.
One is the Red Blood Gang.
Then after that, there were the various martial arts schools including the Purple Extreme Martial Arts School.
“Give me ten packs of secret tiger bone powder.”
A month after practicing his internal qi, Chen Fan found a pharmacy and bought ten packs of secret tiger bone powder.
The Secret Tiger Bone Powder acted similarly to the ten packs.
After two consecutive months of improving his qualifications, he was now cultivating at a much higher speed, and one packet of Ten Perfect Tonic Packets per day was no longer enough.
However, in order to prevent being spied on, he didn’t choose to purchase more packs of Ten Perfect Tonic Packs from the martial arts center.
“The Black Tiger Gang and Red Blood Gang are fighting again!”
After buying the medicine, Chen Fan saw a dozen or so people fighting fiercely in front of him.
He shook his head and changed directions back home.
The Black Tiger Gang and Red Blood Gang had always been at odds.
Both sides often fought each other.
Especially in recent times.
He had seen it all before.
As for the air picker Fu Qingying, there was no news during this period of time.
“Starting today I’ll feed you moves and teach you practical combat.”
After a few more days, He Yun carried a wooden sword and started feeding Chen Fan moves.
Chen Fan’s mastery of the Purple Extreme Sword Technique was fast.
In just a month, he had mastered this sword technique to perfection.
The only thing that was still missing was actual combat.
“Brush brush brush ……”
Chen Fan fought He Yun in the courtyard.
“We martial artists, through the cultivation of the conception of thoughts, our minds are all running very fast, so what you need to do is to face different attacks and react quickly.”
He Yun said while continuously throwing swords at Chen Fan.
On the side, the disciples of the martial arts center looked at Chen Fan from time to time.
Everyone felt that Chen Fan was progressing too fast.
When they first practiced the Purple Extreme Sword Technique, many of them had practiced for two or three months before they started to engage in actual combat.
Chen Fan, on the other hand, had actually used only one month.
None of them could figure out how an old uncle in his thirties could be so bullish.
“That’s all for today, we’ll continue tomorrow.”
An hour later, He Yun closed his sword and stood.
She was devoted to Chen Fan.
Every time Chen Fan practiced the Purple Extreme Sword Technique over the past month, she was at the side to carefully guide him.
Chen Fan was the big money maker of the martial arts school.
She had to make Chen Fan feel her warmth.
“Senior Sister Xiaoyun, Senior Brother Qi Qiang hasn’t come to the martial arts center for a few days, so he’s not in seclusion for a breakthrough, is he?”
Chen Fan placed his wooden sword on the sword rack and asked out loud.
“Probably, but he has already tried a few times, how this time, it’s not clear.”
He Yun shook his head.
Qi Qiang was one of the five Qi Moving Realm martial artists from the Purple Extreme Martial Hall along with her.
And it was still the strongest one.
If Qi Qiang was able to break through to the Qi Condensation Realm, including He Yitong, the Purple Extreme Martial Hall would have two Qi Condensation Realm martial artists.
But there was no small hurdle from the Qi Moving Realm to the Qi Condensation Realm.
Qi Qiang’s qualifications were okay, and could barely be considered a medium martial artist qualification.
But it still wasn’t that simple for him to break through.
“Let’s go, I’ll bring you honey cinnamon cakes tomorrow.”
Chen Fan did not say anything more.
He waved goodbye to He Yun and left the martial arts center.
After two consecutive months of improving his martial artist qualification, he felt that his current martial artist qualification was no worse than a medium martial artist qualification.
With another month or two of upgrading, it wouldn’t even be a problem to metamorphose into a superior martial artist qualification.
As for a superior grade qualification martial artist, it only took about a year to cultivate from the Qi Nurturing Realm to the Qi Moving Realm.
