Chapter 368: Chapter 337: Could My Son Really Be a Genius?

In just two months, Lin Qianxuan had gained a decent level of Inner Qi Cultivation.

Inside his dantian, he felt a concentrated mass of Inner Qi Energy.

However, at present, it had not yet reached the level of a third-rate Martial Artist.

The Inner Qi Cultivation of a third-rate level means one-third of the dantian is filled.

Although Lin Qianxuan was young and his dantian not fully developed, he still hadn’t filled one-third, not even close to a tenth.

Nevertheless, even so, he was considered fast in his cultivation.

Generally, even under favorable family conditions, reaching a third-rate level of Inner Strength by the age of fifteen was considered quite talented.

However, Lin Qianxuan was starting to feel dissatisfied with the efficiency of the basic Inner Strength; he felt that a significant portion of his digestive ability was not being utilized.

Lin Qianxuan studied the basic Inner Strength, hoping to innovate, but without data, he didn’t dare to experiment recklessly.

He asked his mother for more Inner Power Techniques but to no avail.

Getting the basic Inner Strength was already pushing the limit; asking for a better Inner Power Heart Method was out of the question.

As for his father, Lin Qianxuan didn’t even consider it.

Tan Xiaofei’s personality was too rigid, making it exceedingly difficult for Lin Qianxuan to obtain an Inner Power Heart Method from him.

Fortunately, in this life, apart from his parents, he also had his grandparents.

Ji Yao’s father, Ji Shengquan, was the Instructor Elder of the Lanxi Sect and an advanced master of the Innate stage. At over ninety years old, considering an Innate Master has a lifespan of two hundred years, he was actually quite young.

In fact, his appearance was just that of a man in his thirties.

Most importantly, he was quite fond of Lin Qianxuan.

“Grandfather, I want to learn the ’Blue Creek Scripture’,” Lin Qianxuan said.

“Learn it? Of course, you should learn it. I’ll read it to you right away….”

Ji Shengquan held Lin Qianxuan, his face full of smiles and affection.

He didn’t believe Lin Qianxuan could understand it, thinking it was just to leave a memory.

However, Ji Shengquan felt it was playful, but Lin Qianxuan remembered it very clearly.

The “Blue Creek Scripture” is the core technique of the Lanxi Sect, created by the Lanxi Master Peng Ran.

It encompasses all cultivation techniques from the Postnatal to the Innate and Circulation Realms.

In the entire Lanxi Sect, not everyone could obtain the complete cultivation technique. Only because of Ji Shengquan’s special status could he use his position for private gain.

Lin Qianxuan listened while making mental notes.

The Inner Power Heart Method for the Postnatal Realm actually didn’t have much variation.

It was mainly about refining Essence Qi into Inner Qi.

The only differences lay in the pathways through which the meridians operated and which body parts were nourished, resulting in variations in Inner Qi refinement efficiency, as well as the differing strengths of various techniques.

For example, some Inner Qi refining techniques favored the arm meridians more, so the arm meridians would be expanded and strengthened, allowing Inner Qi to transmit better when practicing palm techniques, hence increasing arm strength.

Once reaching the Innate Realm, the Inner Strength undergoes significant changes.

It’s not about connecting the Bridge of Heaven and Earth to absorb all Heaven and Earth Energy.

The Heaven and Earth Energy is complex and varied, with myriad types and quantities.

Absorbing it all is difficult and results in chaotic True Qi within the body, which is hard to control.

Usually, Innate Masters simulate a specific frequency with their spirit to attract and absorb a particular type of Heaven and Earth Energy.

The “Blue Creek Scripture” focuses on absorbing a type of water-based Heaven and Earth Essence Qi.

This Heaven and Earth Essence Qi can nourish the body and restore stamina, converting it into True Qi. The Martial Artist will then have enduring stamina and abundant Essence Qi, able to battle for long without depleting True Qi and defend themselves impeccably against enemy attacks, even living ten to twenty years longer than ordinary Innate Masters.

However, the downside is slightly lacking in offensive power.

Yet, this shortfall is almost negligible compared to other advantages.

Later, the cultivation of the Circulation Realm is not much described.

The only thing mentioned is the way to break through to the Circulation Realm.

It involves running the 720 acupoints of the Circulation Realm along specific meridian paths, linking them to form a circulation.

“Xuan’Er, did you remember it?” Ji Shengquan asked.

“I’ve remembered it all,” Lin Qianxuan replied.

“Really? Then Xuan’Er, recite it for your grandfather?” Ji Shengquan said.

Lin Qianxuan feigned stumbling but managed to recite most of it.

This greatly astonished Ji Shengquan.

“Xuan’Er is so clever; you will surely become a master of the Circulation Realm in the future,” Ji Shengquan said.

Returning home from Ji Shengquan’s,

Lin Qianxuan continued to cultivate his own techniques.

With the comprehensive template of the “Blue Creek Scripture” as a reference, it was much easier for him to innovate techniques.

According to his own condition, Lin Qianxuan devised the most suitable Inner Qi operational path, prioritizing the strengthening of the spleen, stomach, and intestines to further enhance his digestive and waste-removal capabilities.

Next were the kidneys and bladder—kidneys produce Essence Qi and the bladder stores it, promoting self-development.

Then came the heart and lungs—breathing and blood circulation could enhance his system’s smooth operation.

Lastly, the liver.

Even common foods are somewhat toxic.

This would enhance detoxification.

But now he has a new account, and hasn’t used a large number of elixirs or anything to aid his cultivation, so he chose to strengthen it last.

As soon as his self-created new cultivation technique started operating, Lin Qianxuan felt a tremendous change.

The speed of refining inner qi was more than four times faster than before, and at the same time, after one operation, he achieved a new milestone.

[Hint: You have created a new inner power and obtained the “One in a Hundred” level milestone [Inner Power Creator].]

[Inner Power Creator: Cultivation Technique Creation +1. (Note: You have created an inner power technique suitable for yourself.)]

With this “Cultivation Technique Creation +1” attribute, Lin Qianxuan’s understanding of the cultivation technique he created became more comprehensive, sparking many inspirations, which he then perfected.

As a result, just in terms of postnatal inner power technique, the inner power he created is no worse than the “Blue Creek Scripture,” and even stronger if specificity is considered.

Thus, Lin Qianxuan reached the age of three.

His inner qi cultivation had already reached a third-rate level.

This was because he consumed a large amount of inner qi to nourish his internal organs and meridians; otherwise, he could have been even more impressive.

But now he was laying the foundation, and he wasn’t in a hurry to progress quickly.

Tan Xiaofei would still nourish Lin Qianxuan with true qi from time to time.

Until this time, after circulating his true qi through Lin Qianxuan’s body, Tan Xiaofei’s expression became a bit grave, and he took Ji Yao to the side alone.

“Husband, what’s wrong? Is there something wrong with Xuan’Er’s body?” Ji Yao asked anxiously.

“No.” Tan Xiaofei shook his head and said, “Did you teach Xuan’Er the inner power?”

“Yes, he kept begging me, so I taught him a bit of basic inner power, but it shouldn’t cause any issue, just that his appetite has increased. Is it because of this?” Ji Yao’s expression changed slightly.

“He already has considerable inner power cultivation; compared to him, some formal outer sect disciples can’t even compare.” Tan Xiaofei shook his head.

“Could it be that my father transmitted true qi to him?” Ji Yao guessed.

“No, the inner qi in his body is very pure; it’s refined by himself.” Tan Xiaofei said.

“Isn’t that a good thing?” Ji Yao asked puzzled, “With such talent, husband, you should be happy.”

“Do you really think such basic inner power techniques can produce such inner qi?” Tan Xiaofei said gravely to Ji Yao, “The operation trace of Xuan’Er’s technique isn’t basic inner power, nor the ’Blue Creek Scripture.’ I’m just afraid this technique’s origin is unknown. The Sect Leader has been in seclusion for eight years; the Jianghu is in turmoil. In these troubled times, what if it’s a well-laid plan…”

“Why not ask Xuan’Er?” Ji Yao suggested.

“We can’t, Xuan’Er is still young, can’t hide secrets, and if we alert the enemy and they escape, it will be an even bigger problem. It’s better to hold back for now and observe carefully. Tomorrow, I will discuss it with father.” Tan Xiaofei said.

The father Tan Xiaofei referred to wasn’t his biological father but Ji Shengquan.

Tan Xiaofei’s parents died in a vendetta in the Jianghu long before he joined the Lanxi Sect.

In these times, few martial artists live to old age.

“Let it be so.” Ji Yao nodded.

Lin Qianxuan was still confused about Tan Xiaofei and Ji Yao’s situation. He did not hide his talent, and was hopeful that his successful cultivation would attract more attention and resources.

He was unaware that showcasing his talent had caused such a big misunderstanding.

In the following period, Lin Qianxuan continued his cultivation life as usual, but Ji Yao paid much more attention to him.

Lin Qianxuan wanted to showcase himself, so he picked up paper and pen and wrote down the process of deducing his cultivation technique.

Then the technique he wrote was passed into the hands of Tan Xiaofei and Ji Shengquan.

After watching for a while, both felt it was extraordinary.

To reach the innate level, one’s understanding of inner power generally wouldn’t be poor.

And Ji Shengquan, being the Instructor Elder, mastered numerous techniques of the sect.

After this observation, he immediately understood the situation.

But the more it was like this, the more he couldn’t believe it.

“Little Xuan’Er can deduce inner power by himself at three?”

Ji Shengquan was full of shock.

“Could it be just good memory, that he remembered things from books?” Tan Xiaofei speculated.

“Why guess aimlessly? He’s our son. Asking directly isn’t better? If he doesn’t understand, he couldn’t say anything.” Ji Yao said.

Tan Xiaofei and Ji Shengquan looked at each other.

They had schemed inside the sect for so long that they saw everything as a conspiracy, always fearing someone wanted to harm them.

Now, facing this strange matter, it’s hard not to let their thoughts wander.

But as Ji Yao said, if he couldn’t answer, it would confirm the situation.

Thus, Lin Qianxuan was carried by Ji Shengquan and began to be questioned about what he had written.

“Little Xuan’Er, did you write all this?” Ji Shengquan asked.

“I wrote it, Grandpa.” Lin Qianxuan nodded.

“Why does the inner qi follow this meridian?” Ji Shengquan pointed to a part and asked.

“To nourish the stomach and intestines, promote digestion…”

“What about here?”

“Of the three main meridians, this one is the most crucial, so it is prioritized for circulation, reaching the internal organs. However, the side branch connects to the heart acupoint, and if not careful, it can cause capillary rupture and internal bleeding. Therefore, only a small portion of inner qi can pass through until the meridians strengthen…”

….

Subsequently, Ji Shengquan asked many questions, even about his views on the “Blue Creek Scripture,” until Lin Qianxuan explained everything, unraveling the misunderstanding surrounding him.

“Could my son truly be a genius?” Tan Xiaofei was astounded.

“Is that even a question? He’s my child!” Ji Yao smiled, picked up Lin Qianxuan, and affectionately nuzzled his cheek.
