Chapter 252: Qinggong
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Fei Bai opened his mouth wide and asked, “Master, you’re not hunting anymore?”
He turned back to look at the deer herd, only to find that the herd they had been waiting for all morning had long fled in shock. He sighed in frustration and could only follow.
After all, Qi Haoran was familiar with qinggong. Coupled with his deep internal energy, he soon caught up with Mu Yangling and even rushed to the front to watch her. He carefully observed Mu Yangling’s actions and gradually realized something.
Qi Haoran’s martial arts talent was outstanding to begin with. When he saw that Mu Yangling’s every jump had its trajectory and her footsteps became lighter, he knew that Mu Yangling had comprehended another rule.
He had once heard from his uncle that there were many ways to achieve qinggong. One was to practice internal energy like him and then learn qinggong. With more training, one would naturally be able to achieve it. This was also common knowledge.
The other method was to practice qinggong through body tempering. For example, tying heavy objects on one’s calf to practice jumping and running. As the days passed and the years passed, one should increase the weights. When one reached a limit and removed the heavy objects, they would become lighter and master qinggong.
However, the second method was inferior to the first method, but the benefits were obvious. Those who had internal energy as the foundation would not be able to use qinggong after using up their internal energy. Unlike the second type of practitioner whereby the qinggong had already become a part of their body. As long as they could move, they would be able to utilize qinggong.
However, this body tempering method was too difficult. One had to persevere for ten years.
Qi Haoran looked at Mu Yangling’s pursuit with bright eyes. Her method was different from the above two methods mentioned. Instead, it seemed to be a combination of the two. Although it was very subtle, he could still sense the internal energy brought about by her actions.
She had cultivated internal energy.
Obviously, she had figured out this method herself.
The pheasant seemed to have reached its limit as it flapped its wings and flew out. Mu Yangling chased after it relentlessly. Behind the bushes was Luocong Mountain. The weeds on the mountain were all dead, with only a few low trees growing sporadically. The panicky pheasant had flown itself into a dead end.
Mu Yangling couldn’t help but pat the rock under her and said excitedly, “Then help me come up with a plan. At the same time, teach me how to circulate this internal energy in detail. When I was circulating my internal energy just now, I didn’t dare to speak, afraid that the Qi would get disrupted if I spoke.”
This was not difficult for Qi Haoran. He waved the pheasant in his hand and said, “Then should we go back first or roast it first?”
“Let’s eat first before going back. I’m starving.” Mu Yangling had already been busy the entire morning. Coupled with the fact that she had been fully focused on chasing this pheasant, she had utilized a lot of mental and physical strength. Now, she only felt so hungry that she couldn’t walk.
Qi Haoran found a rope from her basket and tied the poor pheasant up. Then, he said to Mu Yangling, “Then 1’11 go pick up some dry firewood. Wait here.”
Mu Yangling nodded eagerly.
When Fei Bai finally caught up, the two of them had already started a fire behind a rock. Mu Yangling was eagerly watching Qi Haoran deal with the pheasant.
Fei Bai’s heart was about to jump out of his chest from running. When Qi Haoran saw him, he instructed him, “Where’s the kettle? Hurry up and bring it up.”
Fei Bai couldn’t even catch his breath, but he still carried Qi Haoran’s bow and placed it on the ground. He took out the kettle and washed the pheasant for Qi Haoran.
Fei Bai looked at his master and then at Miss Mu. Thinking of their appetite, he looked pitifully at the slaughtered pheasant. He was hungry too!
Qi Haoran didn’t think of this problem, but Mu Yangling did. Hence, she searched in the basket on her back and took out the sleeve arrow that Qi Haoran had given her previously. She handed it to Fei Bai and said, “Take it to catch a pheasant or rabbit. You know how to use this, right?”
“Yes, thank you, Miss Mu.” Fei Bai received it with a smile and touched it cherishingly. This sleeve arrow was a treasure.
Qi Haoran glanced at him and said, “Don’t damage it. Hurry up and come back.”
Fei Bai responded and ran into the forest happily.
Seeing that Qi Haoran was unfamiliar with marinating the pheasant, Mu Yangling wanted to help him. Unexpectedly, the moment she stood up, the rock behind her fell, startling the two of them..
