A journey through ancient times, a journey of exquisite divine skills

Chapter 371 Unable to Cultivate, Cloud Pill Guides

"The martial arts techniques of our own school shall not be taught to outsiders at will."

Leng Xiyue emphasized, "The Linglong Divine Skill is a technique you created yourself. How can you just teach it to me?"

"Do you really want me and Master Zhang to become your disciples?"

Yun Dan was speechless after Leng Xiyue's words and immediately became furious.

"Damn it, I'm teaching you how to hold your breath, not taking you on as my apprentice... Hey! Old man, are you never going to stop?!"

Leng Xiyue deliberately teased her with a straight face.

"Oh? So you really want to be my master?"

Upon seeing this, Yun Dan immediately put on a playful and cheeky expression and wiggled her arm around Leng Xiyue.

"Oh dear, Uncle Leng! I don't care about these formalities, why are you being so serious about it!"

Look at Junbao's Tai Chi, don't I know a few moves too?

There aren't that many rules and regulations.

Zhang Sanfeng picked up his teacup, took a sip, and spoke in a calm tone as if he were talking about something ordinary.

"Come on, those slow and leisurely punches you're using aren't the Tai Chi I created."

Upon hearing this, Yun Dan immediately glared at him: "Wow, Junbao, what do you mean by this?"

So, in your eyes, my Tai Chi is completely worthless?

Zhang Sanfeng put down his teacup and nodded seriously, saying, "It's not that it's worthless, but rather... it's utterly useless."

"you!"

Yun Dan was so angry by his words that she chuckled and stomped her foot.

He immediately let out a howl and pounced on him, hugging and rubbing against him.

"I'll teach you to laugh at me! I'll teach you to say my Tai Chi is useless! I'll tickle you!"

Zhang Sanfeng simply let her hug his arms and shout, a smile on his face.

But he didn't forget to continue teasing, slowly adding a comment.

"If it weren't for your profound internal strength, your few punches would probably only be able to amuse beginners."

"Ah... Junbao, I'll fight you to the death!"

Yun Dan's cheeks flushed from his words, and she pounced on him, hugging his arm and shaking it back and forth like a cat with its fur standing on end.

Her pouty and helpless expression amused Zhang Sanfeng and Leng Xiyue, who both burst into laughter.

The oppressive atmosphere inside the Orchid Pavilion was instantly dispelled by her antics.

In the end, it was Leng Xiyue who smiled and persuaded her.

"Alright, alright, girl, if you keep making a fuss, you'll tear Zhang Zhenren's sleeve off."

They played around for quite a while.

Zhang Sanfeng gently patted Yun Dan's hand and said softly, "Alright, come down now that you've had enough fun. Let's get down to business."

Yun Dan then snorted, released her grip, and sat back in her seat.

Her cheeks were still flushed, but she didn't forget to glare at Zhang Sanfeng, as if to say: You know what's good for you.

Leng Xiyue watched from the sidelines, amused, and looked at Zhang Sanfeng, laughing, "Serves you right! You teased her."

Yun Dan composed herself and said seriously, "Uncle Leng, Junbao, I will now pass on the incantation for the breath-holding exercise to you."

This method is a side branch of the Linglong Divine Skill.

While not as exquisite as the Linglong Divine Skill, it is still suitable for holding one's breath underwater.

Before the two could respond, she recited an eight-line mantra.

The mnemonic is concise and succinct, every word a gem, carrying a unique rhythm.

As soon as she heard it, Leng Xiyue silently memorized it.

After Yun Dan finished reading, she asked, "How was it? Did you memorize it all?"

Leng Xiyue nodded and said approvingly, "This incantation does sound ingenious."

But Zhang Sanfeng remained seated, his eyes slightly closed, as if savoring the moment or deep in thought, and remained motionless for a long time.

Yun Dan couldn't help but lean closer: "Junbao, didn't you hear me clearly? How about I read it to you again?"

Zhang Sanfeng shook his head, a hint of solemnity in his eyes.

"No, I have memorized it. It's just that the method of circulating qi in this incantation seems to be quite different from ordinary internal energy cultivation."

Leng Xiyue frowned as well: "You mean... this cultivation technique is selective in terms of physique?"

"Perhaps."

Zhang Sanfeng pondered and said, "From the first time I saw this girl's martial arts, I felt that it was different from all the ones I had seen before."

It's as if only those with special physical constitutions can cultivate.

Furthermore, the martial arts practiced by Fellow Daoist Leng also felt somewhat out of place to me, quite strange.

Perhaps it's because the cultivation methods in your world are different from those in my realm!

Zhang Sanfeng looked up at the empty space outside the Orchid Pavilion, his brows furrowed slightly.

"There is another matter that worries me the most. If I were to use my internal energy, I fear it would attract heavenly lightning again!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Dan's eyes darted around before she looked at Leng Xiyue.

"Uncle Leng, why don't you practice this breath-holding technique first? I'll think of another way!"

Leng Xiyue nodded, got up, and walked to the open space next to the Orchid Pavilion, where she sat down cross-legged.

He closed his eyes and concentrated on practicing the incantation that Yun Dan had just taught him.

Yun Dan sat on the bench, her mind racing, trying to think of any other solutions.

Now, of the three, only Zhang Sanfeng has nothing to do.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Leng Xiyue, who was cultivating, suddenly opened her eyes, her face showing some confusion.

"Xiao Yundan, is there something wrong with the incantation for your breath-holding exercise?"

Yun Dan was lost in thought when she heard Leng Xiyue's voice and immediately came back to her senses.

"Huh? What?"

"The breath-holding technique you taught me is completely beyond my ability to practice."

Following the incantation you taught me, I've tried to circulate my qi, but this old man feels that the technique is utterly ineffective!

Yun Dan's eyes widened in disbelief.

"How could that be? Could it be that you've misremembered the incantation?"

"Absolutely impossible."

Leng Xiyue then repeated the eight-line incantation.

Every single word was exactly the same as what Yun Dan had taught him.

"That's strange..."

Yun Dan was completely baffled: "The incantation is correct, so why can't I cultivate it?"

She thought for a moment and her eyes lit up.

"Try again, let me see."

She quickly sat down behind Leng Xiyue, gently placing her palms on his back.

"You resume your cultivation, and I will assist you in your practice."

Leng Xiyue closed her eyes as instructed and once again channeled her inner energy.

Yun Dan focused her mind on sensing the flow of energy within his body.

Leng Xiyue followed his instructions and circulated her vital energy.

As soon as he circulated his vital energy, Yun Dan immediately sensed a powerful internal force awakening within his body.

She was immediately startled.

This was the first time she had ever felt the flow of someone else's internal energy so closely.

What surprised her even more was that Leng Xiyue's cultivation level was so profound.

It was far beyond her imagination.

"Uncle Leng, I will use my internal energy to guide your breathing. Just follow my internal energy."

Yun Dan steadied herself and began reciting the mantra for the breath-holding exercise before she finished speaking.

Leng Xiyue immediately felt a cool aura enveloping her internal energy.

He dared not be negligent, and quickly focused his mind, following the force to slowly circulate his vital energy.

Although Yun Dan's internal energy was not as profound as Leng Xiyue's, it was still exceptionally agile.

The energy flowed smoothly through Leng Xiyue's meridians, gradually expanding the energy pathways of the breath-holding method.
