Chapter 688 32: Controlling Objects with Qi, Mastering Dragon and Crane Arts (Part 2)

"If one's inner strength methodology cannot reach the corresponding state of mind, directly absorbing spiritual energy from the outside world, then one can only refine internally to transform essence into qi, the latter having very high requirements on one's physical constitution."

In other words, the body must be in excellent condition.

"So many people spend their entire lives without the chance to enter the Dao."

"Superior inner strength methodologies require a dual approach, many martial arts inherently have no chance to breakthrough into the Dao Entrance Realm."

A human's lifespan is generally no more than a hundred years, making it extremely difficult to cultivate to a profound realm of Dao Entrance.

A gentle sound of footsteps approached.

When Duncan raised his head, the radiant Lady Jade Face had already pushed open the door and entered, followed by two beautiful maids—one carrying a bowl of bird's nest porridge, the other holding nourishing medicinal cuisine—intending to give the young man a good supplement.

"Sir."

"Please enjoy your meal."

Yin Meitang respectfully placed the medicinal cuisine on the table, her face no longer holding the seductive charm of last night; the many maids were the same, not daring to throw even a single flirtatious glance as usual.

Lady Jade Face was about to pick up the spoon to personally feed the young man.

But unexpectedly, the young man opened his eyes, a bright glint flashing in his gaze. Then, with a gentle lift of his hand, the true qi surged and converged toward his palm like a vortex. The bowl of medicinal cuisine flew directly into his palm without spilling a drop.

"Dragon Capturing Skill?!"

Lady Jade Face raised her head in surprise, looking at the boy before her, whose deep eyes resembled a starry sea, and asked in confusion, "When did Sir master the Dragon Capturing Skill?"

The young man picked up a spoon, tasted a bite, nodded in satisfaction, and said blandly, "It's not the Dragon Capturing Skill."

"It's merely an ordinary method of using qi to control objects."

What?

Using qi to control objects could be considered an ordinary method?

Lady Jade Face was even more surprised and sincerely congratulated him, saying, "Sir's true qi has become purer."

The so-called purity refers not only to the degree of purity but also to the ability to control one's true qi.

Previously, when Duncan controlled his true qi, it could go wherever it liked; understanding true qi should learn to move on its own, whereas now, wherever his thoughts willed, the true qi followed, detailed and subtle, each strand under the control of his divine thought.

Breaking through a state of mind can enhance qi perception.

Many advanced martial arts, such as the Dragon Capturing Skill, require pure true qi; otherwise, it simply can't be practiced.

This method of using qi to control objects was something the young man had just begun to dabble in.

Like obtaining a new toy, he went to the courtyard after breakfast. Looking at a long sword hanging by the wall, true qi surged and gathered in his Lung Meridian of Hand-Taiyin. Then, converging in his palm, with a gesture, the long sword unsheathed and directly flew into his palm.

The sword gesture he formed was actually useless, just for show. True Daoist sword gestures have additional enhancement effects, but he has yet to comprehend the Daoist Secret Scripture.

Buzz!

The blade lightly vibrated.

The long sword in the young man's hand flew out, directly slicing a tree branch from several meters away. The sword spiraled, trying to fly back to his palm, but unexpectedly, because his intention did not reach the qi, his control ability drastically decreased once the true qi left his body. The long sword dropped directly into the pond in the small courtyard.

Lady Jade Face, sitting in a nearby pavilion playing a zither and observing, lifted her head like a fairy, softly asking, "Does Sir wish to comprehend the Daoist flying sword technique?"

This method, this sword gesture, one look, and it's a Dharma Gate of the flying sword technique.

The young man nodded slightly, then shook his head, saying, "Using qi to control objects is fine, but performing the flying sword technique is probably very difficult."

"Becoming a Sword Immortal of this era is not so easy."

Dragon Capturing Skill.

As they spoke, the young man casually gestured, gathering the water in the pond to form a water mass, yet he couldn't draw the long sword from the bottom.

——Profound Yin Ice Finger.

Lady Jade Face lifted a finger, and an extremely yin true qi shot out. The cold qi rampaged, freezing the water mass condensed by the young man's true qi into ice, and the fist-sized ice ball fell into his palm, prompting him to look up in surprise at her.

This was no less than a spell.

"If Sir desires to comprehend the secret techniques."

"I can indeed perform some Daoist methods."

Lady Jade Face spoke as she plucked the zither strings, the surroundings swayed, as if plunging into an illusion, and the young man saw everything vastly different, as if entering the spiritual domain of a seductress.

"This is a spiritual secret technique, a method of illusion technique and shape-shifting in the two paths of demon way."

"When cultivated to a profound realm, it becomes the legendary soul-capturing technique of the martial world!"

The young man's eyes condensed a mass of bloodfiend qi, suddenly opening his eyes, already returning to reality, only to find Lady Jade Face was already standing before him, the zither strings still vibrating, but her delicate jade finger already pointed at his forehead.

A master in external training, with astral qi body protection, wouldn't easily be killed by a finger, but an ordinary martial world expert would likely already be dead.

"Then how does your finger force method operate?"

Duncan showed great interest in finger techniques, after all, he also knew some finger techniques in the past.

Lady Jade Face taught him everything without reservation.

In just a few minutes, he had grasped some understanding, yet with different true qi, he couldn't mimic the Profound Yin Finger Force. Therefore, Duncan channeled his true qi and bloodfiend qi through his Lung Meridian of Hand-Taiyin, eventually shooting true qi forth, an invisible sword qi pierced through the pavilion, leaving a dent over three inches deep in the stone pillar.

"What domineering finger force sword qi!"

Lady Jade Face gasped aloud.

If this were pointed at a person from a distance, unless they were a master of external training, it would likely leave a bloody hole with one finger.

The young man's finger imprint shifted from the Shaoshang point to the Shangyang point, and in an instant when his index finger extended, an invisible sword qi slashed through the air, striking down a sparrow flying over the rooftop, the sword qi piercing the bird's body, leaving a one-centimeter diameter bloody hole.
