Chapter 175
"Indeed, home is always the best."
In the early morning, Lu Qing stepped out of the house, stretched lazily, and felt immensely comfortable.
Recalling yesterday's events, he couldn't help but smile.
At dusk yesterday, their return caused quite a stir in the village.
The villagers all rushed out and surrounded him and his master with a barrage of questions.
After all, they had originally said they were going to the county town for the market, but ended up being away for over ten days.
Although the Wei family had sent people to deliver a message, Grandpa Zhang and the others were still skeptical and worried.
Seeing them finally return now, how could they not ask for details?
In the end, after Lu Qing explained everything and distributed the special products they brought back, everyone realized it was a false alarm and slowly dispersed.
Although it took a lot of talking, Lu Qing's heart felt warm.After all, having people who worry about you is quite a nice feeling.
After adjusting his mood, he practiced the Health Nourishing Boxing twice to stretch his muscles and bones, then went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
Seeing that Xiao Yan and the others would take a while to wake up, Lu Qing used his body technique and within a few breaths, arrived at the bamboo forest in the back mountain.
Sensing the surroundings and finding no one around, Lu Qing's mind moved slightly, and the next moment, a battle blade appeared in his hand.
However, this battle blade looked very rough, not only unpolished but also with an unsharpened blade.
It was the Heaven's Meteorite Iron Blade Embryo that Lu Qing had forged in the Heartforge Workshop before.
Compared to before, the blade embryo had been adjusted again and fitted with a handle.
Aside from its rough appearance and unsharpened blade, it was no different from a regular battle blade and could be used freely.
Holding the blade in his right hand, Lu Qing's demeanor changed drastically, exuding an aura of killing intent.
The next moment, he swung the long blade, starting to practice his blade technique.
The blade movements were profound and smooth, the blade speed seemed slow, but each move contained a soul-stirring power.
The increasingly fierce killing intent around him made the surrounding insects and birds fall silent, not daring to make a sound.
After practicing the Four Directions Blade once, Lu Qing stood holding the blade, a thoughtful expression on his face.
"According to the martial arts experience shared by Master and the Wei family's ancestor, once martial arts techniques reach a state of balance between rigidity and flexibility, and meticulous detail, the next step is to comprehend the 'Intention' within the techniques.
And the most crucial aspect of this step is to infuse your martial arts techniques with a sense of spirit.
With the spirit infused, guided by the mind, one can anticipate the enemy's moves, strike preemptively, and defeat the opponent swiftly.
Clearly, having tempered my soul power, I've somewhat touched this level.
However, limited by the insufficiency of my soul power, I still have a considerable way to go to fully comprehend 'Intention'."
Of course, although he couldn't fully comprehend 'Intention' for now, Lu Qing was already quite satisfied.
After all, the realm of 'Intention' is generally only comprehended by Precelestial realm experts.
When a Precelestial realm expert steps into the Precelestial stage, their soul power is greatly enhanced through the baptism of the world's rules.
Therefore, their martial arts training becomes more adept, and comprehending the realm of 'Intention' is naturally not too difficult.
Now, he had just stepped into the Internal Organs Realm and could already touch 'Intention', which was quite impressive.
There were still many days ahead, and who could say that he wouldn't comprehend the full 'Intention' before stepping into the Precelestial realm?
Moreover, Lu Qing was different from other martial arts experts.
With his unique abilities, he could quickly master any martial art.
So, once he fully comprehended the realm of 'Intention', it wouldn't just be about mastering blade or sword 'Intention'.
It would be that all the martial arts he practiced would rapidly ascend to the realm of 'Intention'!
"Therefore, for me, cultivation is the most important. As long as my soul power improves, comprehending the realm of 'Intention' will naturally become much easier."
"Coincidentally, there is a minor technique in the inheritance left by the Li Huo Sect that suits my current situation."
Most of the inheritance obtained from the Li Huo Cauldron was not suitable for this era.
But there were a few techniques that Lu Qing could barely cultivate.
Among them, there was one technique that was perfect for Lu Qing's current situation.
The Furnace Visualization Method!
This is a visualization technique that allows the practitioner to imagine themselves in a blazing furnace, using soul power to resist the flames, tempering and strengthening their soul power.
This visualization method is purely a soul-tempering technique and doesn't rely on spiritual energy circulation, so even in this era of spiritual energy scarcity, it can still be cultivated.
However, it must be practiced by a cultivator with soul power.
Its cultivation threshold is extremely high for today's martial artists.
After all, apart from anomalies like Lu Qing.
Generally speaking, in martial arts cultivation, one must reach the Grandmaster stage of Internal Organs Perfection to temper soul power.
And among the countless people cultivating martial arts, how many can truly reach the Internal Organs Perfection stage?
Sitting cross-legged, Lu Qing activated his ability, found the cultivation method of the Furnace Visualization in his mind, and began to simulate and learn.
Various insights flooded his mind, and Lu Qing quickly entered a state of cultivation.
The Furnace Visualization Method has three cultivation levels: Furnace View, Melting Furnace View, and the final perfected Furnace View.
These three levels are progressively more difficult.
The practitioner must act according to their ability and visualize cautiously.
If their strength is insufficient and they forcefully visualize higher-level imagery, it is easy to set themselves on fire, with the furnace imagery they visualized burning their mind, turning them into a living dead.
Naturally, for his first cultivation, Lu Qing wouldn't challenge such high difficulty.
On the contrary, for his first practice, he was very cautious. Following the method of visualization, he visualized a small furnace in his heart.
Moreover, its appearance was very simple. If Xiao Yan could see this imagery, she would immediately recognize it as the small furnace at home used for cooking porridge.
After visualizing the furnace, Lu Qing transformed into a wisp of soul power and entered the furnace.
As soon as he entered the furnace, Lu Qing felt as if he had entered a world of flames, surrounded by raging fire.
The Furnace Visualization Method was indeed magical.
Although the furnace was just a visualization, an illusion.
At this moment, Lu Qing felt as if he was really being burned by flames, incredibly real.
It seemed that the next moment, his soul power-transformed body would be melted and completely incinerated.
Lu Qing did not dare to neglect, immediately reciting the cultivation mantra, stabilizing his mind, and silently enduring the tempering of the furnace.
