Dong!
Just then, a bell-like chime, as resonant as a great bell, suddenly rang in Lin Chu's mind. This single chime made Lin Chu's head feel heavy, as if filled with lead. After a few breaths, this feeling of heaviness vanished instantly.
Sensing this, Lin Chu immediately knew that the method for cultivating the Qi Mansion had been imprinted in his mind.
"Thank you, Master, for bestowing this divine ability!" Although he was very excited, Lin Chu also knew that now was not the time to examine it. He immediately opened his eyes, bowed respectfully to Yang Song, and said.
Yang Song nodded and smiled slightly. Having now passed on his inheritance to Lin Chu, his gaze towards Lin Chu softened considerably. "My inheritance is this Qi Mansion Induction. You will naturally understand the wondrous uses of the Divine Refining method as you cultivate in the future."
Hearing this, Lin Chu bowed again.
"Also, during my years of leisure, I have also comprehended three divine abilities. Now, I shall impart them to you as well," Yang Song pondered for a moment, then looked at Lin Chu and continued.
Lin Chu was overjoyed. A flicker of excitement surged across his face. What he lacked most now were divine ability techniques. Anything that Master Yang Song called a divine ability must be formidable.
"Speaking of which, these three divine abilities are quite suited to your current strength. Although the power you can unleash with your current strength is not immense, as your strength continuously grows, the power you unleash will also grow stronger alongside you."
Yang Song seemed to be in good spirits. After smiling, he extended a finger towards Lin Chu again. A beam of spiritual light shot into Lin Chu's forehead and instantly merged into his mind.
"Immovable King Seal!"
"Rumbling Thunder Emperor Seal!"
"Radiant Glow Emperor Seal!"
As the information for the three divine abilities quickly integrated into his mind, Lin Chu began to examine them. The cultivation methods for the three divine abilities also instantly appeared in Lin Chu's mind.
It took Lin Chu a full quarter of an hour before he slowly opened his eyes. A trace of enlightenment flickered in his eyes, clearly indicating that he had gained a general understanding of the three divine abilities bestowed by Master Yang Song.
"It seems you've grasped quite a lot," Yang Song said with a gentle smile, observing the enlightenment in Lin Chu's eyes.
Lin Chu immediately clasped his fists and said, "Your methods, Master, are profound and vast. How could this disciple comprehend them all in a mere moment?"
Yang Song chuckled, his figure shifted, and he suddenly floated upwards. Then, with a long cry, he said, "Disciple, watch carefully. Master will demonstrate them for you. How much you can grasp will depend on your own fortune!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Song's figure moved rapidly.
Lin Chu suddenly found that the scene around him had subtly changed.
He saw Yang Song rapidly forming hand seals, and the spiritual energy around them began to flow. Lin Chu's eyes were fixed on Yang Song's hand seals, and he continuously deduced them in his mind.
Boom!
Boom-boom!
As three booming sounds echoed, Lin Chu's eyes revealed a hint of bloodshot. This was clearly due to prolonged observation causing his eyes to become congested.
However, at this moment, Lin Chu felt no discomfort from this. Instead, he was somewhat excited. His hands were also constantly changing hand seals.
"Disciple, how much have you remembered?" Yang Song's figure shifted, and he appeared before Lin Chu, asking with a smile.
Lin Chu pondered for a moment and replied, "I remember it all."
Yang Song smiled and continued, "And now?"
"It seems I've forgotten more than half," Lin Chu said with a slight frown.
Yang Song laughed heartily, "Good, good. You forget so quickly. And now, how is it?"
"I've forgotten it all now, completely and utterly," Lin Chu replied with a smile.
"Excellent! Since you've forgotten it all, I can rest assured. Alright, for the next period, you shall cultivate here. Generally, those who can condense their Qi Mansion within two months are considered exceptionally talented. As for you, Master does not have such high expectations."
"Of course, if you have any questions, you can ask Xia'er. Master has some matters to attend to." Yang Song nodded with satisfaction, his eyes filled with relief. As he finished speaking, his figure slowly disappeared.
"I respectfully bid Master farewell!" Lin Chu immediately bowed. After Yang Song's figure had completely vanished, he eagerly sat down cross-legged and began to examine the Qi Mansion Induction in his mind.
Meanwhile, outside the thatched cottage, Yang Song and the woman stood side-by-side, both gazing towards the depths of the clouds, as if these clouds did not obstruct their vision.
"Grandfather, do you truly think so highly of him?" After a moment, the woman asked softly, with a hint of confusion.
Yang Song smiled and replied, "Xia'er, this child is extraordinary. You will know in the future. He carries no trace of the aura of beings from the Ten Directions World. Like you, he is not of this world. Moreover, your background is, more or less, connected to him."
"Alright, Grandfather cannot say too much. Everything will become clear when the time comes for you to know."
A trace of helplessness flashed across the woman's face. "Grandfather, can't you just tell me directly?"
A similar trace of helplessness flickered across Yang Song's face. He nodded with a resolute gaze and said, "Xia'er, it's not that Grandfather doesn't want to tell you. It's that even if I told you, with your current strength, it would be of no use and would only bring you unnecessary trouble."
"When this child can truly stand at the pinnacle of the strong in the future, perhaps you will know most of it."
A ripple flashed through Yang Song's eyes, and he continued to look up towards the depths of the clouds.
At this moment, deep within the clouds, Lin Chu was circulating the Chaos Dragon Breath Technique, following the Divine Refining method of the Qi Mansion Induction, and slowly circulating his spiritual power to cultivate.
As he cultivated the Qi Mansion Induction, Lin Chu gradually sensed the spiritual energy in his dantian surging towards his mind. The Sea of Qi within his mind began to churn and boil with the influx of this spiritual energy.
However, Lin Chu felt as though his mind was being pricked by needles. Every breath was an agony. In less than twenty breaths, sweat began to ooze from Lin Chu's entire body, and his clothes were instantly soaked.
Only then did Lin Chu understand why Master Yang Song had said that cultivating the Qi Mansion required great perseverance and great wisdom.
"Qi Mansion Induction: the field of the Sea of Qi, the transformation of spirit. Using spiritual energy as a guide, introduce it into the void of the body, transfer it to the Sea of Qi, and complete one circulation of the heavens to form a foundation. Completing nine circulations of the heavens will finally form the Qi Mansion."
Looking at the memory in his mind, Lin Chu, enduring the waves of pain from his head, gritted his teeth and closed his eyes again.
Unbeknownst to Lin Chu, as he began to cultivate again, on a stone platform not far from him, the woman, holding a miniature animal, was watching him with curiosity. However, as Lin Chu resumed his cultivation, a trace of approval gradually appeared in her eyes.
Time slowly passed. Ten days had unknowingly gone by with Lin Chu's cultivation in the depths of the clouds. As he cultivated the Qi Mansion Induction, Lin Chu's entire aura flickered like a candle flame, sometimes bright, sometimes dim.
Initially, the woman had shown a flicker of worry in her eyes. However, upon seeing Lin Chu's aura quickly stabilize, she withdrew her gaze and paid him no further attention.
At this moment, Lin Chu took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes.
After exhaling a mouthful of turbid air, a hint of self-satisfaction appeared in Lin Chu's eyes.
The first minor circulation of the heavens, he had finally completed it!
