35: Chapter 35 The White Ape's Secret to Health Preservation

"White Ape?"

Qin Feng's eyes showed a look of suspicion.

This was quite different from what he had imagined.

He had thought it would be a Martial Artist dressed in training clothes, providing theoretical explanations and practical demonstrations in a spacious martial arts hall.

At the very least...

Even if no Martial Artist appeared in person to explain...

It should at least be like those secret manuals in Wuxia novels, accompanied by some profound text and illustrated demonstrations, right?

But what was the situation now?

"This white ape is just sitting there under the waterfall without moving?"

Qin Feng patiently continued to watch.

He saw the white ape sitting by the water, letting the waterfall pour and splash over it, yet its body remained motionless; only its silver-white fur swayed with the wind.

The white ape's eyes were half-closed.

It seemed to be dozing.

Its Breathing was long and leisurely.

Watching it made one feel sleepy.

Qin Feng couldn't help but open his mouth and yawn.

And just then.

He noticed that the video's progress bar was already halfway through!

"What the hell?"

Qin Feng widened his eyes.

He was suddenly jolted awake.

"The total length of the video is only a bit over six minutes. Excluding the three warnings at the start, the footage of the white ape should be exactly six minutes—three hundred and sixty seconds. Half the time has already passed, so why is this white ape still dozing?"

Qin Feng couldn't help but have a bad feeling.

Could it be...

That the remaining content is still just this white ape dozing?

As he continued to watch.

Qin Feng's expression became increasingly gloomy.

He never expected...

That his guess would be so accurate!

For the next three minutes of the video, the white ape was still dozing under the waterfall, serene and peaceful like an old man sunbathing, without moving a single muscle.

Qin Feng was speechless.

Was this introductory martial arts tutorial video actually a fake?

"No, there should be something special that I haven't discovered yet."

Exhaling a breath of stagnant Qi that had accumulated in his chest, Qin Feng forced himself to calm down.

He pressed the replay button.

He continued to watch.

At the same time.

A faint, indistinct wisp of 'Qi' swirled in his eyes, raising his perception to the maximum, not letting a single detail in the video escape him.

"Oh?"

Suddenly.

Qin Feng's eyes flashed.

He discovered a detail.

The white ape seemed to be just dozing, but in fact, its Breathing contained a wonderful rhythm; it should be a special Breathing method.

Besides that.

The white ape's body appeared to be sitting upright, but it was actually a special posture similar to sitting on the ground.

Because the white ape's body shape was different from a human's—its forelimbs were thick and long—its legs appeared short. With its knees bent and its buttocks lowered, combined with the thick fur covering it, it looked as if it were sitting.

"If I were to translate this white ape's posture onto a human body, it feels like some kind of... Pile method?"

Qin Feng's eyes couldn't help but light up.

Stake standing.

It was the fundamental skill of martial arts training.

As a genuine Transmigration from the Celestial Empire, Qin Feng knew a bit of theoretical knowledge about practicing martial arts; he had even specifically practiced Taiji during university PE classes.

"However, it's clear that this white ape's Pile method is more complex and profound. It's not just a matter of posture; it must be coordinated with Breathing."

"The fur on the white ape's body isn't fluttering because of the wind, but because the Acupoints in its body 'breathed' out a gust of Qi."

"Qi..."

Qin Feng thought of that mysterious 'Qi' born within his body after he had eaten the blood crystal rice porridge and practiced Breathing for a night.

He had originally thought this was a form of blood-qi transformation after the body became strong.

It could enhance perception.

It could also strengthen explosive power when throwing a punch.

But thinking about it now.

The way this 'Qi' was used shouldn't be that simple.

"In other words, this mysterious White Ape Pile method contains three key elements: posture, Breathing, and the flow of 'Qi'?"

"And these three key elements are the true way to enter the path of a Martial Artist?"

The more Qin Feng watched, the more he understood.

His spirit also became excited.

Whew...

Thank goodness...

This introductory martial arts tutorial video wasn't a fake; it had real substance. It was just that ordinary people really couldn't see it.

Next.

Qin Feng watched the video carefully more than a dozen times.

Finally, he summarized a pattern.

In the video.

The footage of the white ape's Stake standing and Breathing lasted for exactly six minutes, which is three hundred and sixty seconds. It seemed like there were no changes throughout, but it actually contained five different Reincarnation cycles of Breathing.

Each Breathing Reincarnation.

Was seventy-two seconds long.

Every second.

Contained a Breathing variation.

Seventy-two Breathing variations, just like Sun Wukong's seventy-two transformations. During Breathing, they drew the 'Qi' within the body to move, eventually exhaling it from a certain Acupoint to complete a full Minor heavenly cycle Reincarnation.

Different Breathing Reincarnation cycles would guide the 'Qi' within the body to different Acupoints to be exhaled.

Once five Breathing Reincarnation cycles were completed.

It would form a circulating Major heavenly cycle Reincarnation.

This made the five Acupoints connected by 'Qi' closely linked.

Thereby producing incredible and special changes.

"It seems that to enter the path of a Martial Artist, one must first give birth to 'Qi', then use a special Pile method and Breathing to guide the 'Qi' to a certain Acupoint in the body, and then make the Acupoint clear, bursting forth with mysterious power."

Having understood the theory.

Qin Feng assumed the Pile method posture.

He began to try.

Although he didn't have holographic equipment.

Under his powerful perception, Qin Feng could still sense the seventy-two variations in the white ape's Breathing as if he were there in person.

As for Breathing.

Qin Feng had already reached Perfection long ago.

Right now, he was just letting his Breathing method follow the white ape's rhythm, making a few slight variations.

This would be incredibly difficult for a beginner; one wrong move could lead to a deviated Qi flow, which could even be life-threatening.

But for an old hand like Qin Feng...

It was too simple!

"Inhale..."

Quickly.

Qin Feng entered the state.

About seventy-two seconds later.

"Exhale..."

Suddenly, Qin Feng exhaled a breath.

But it wasn't exhaled from his mouth.

Instead, it was from...

An Acupoint!

This Acupoint seemed to be located on Qin Feng's body.

As the breath was exhaled, it caused his clothes to bulge and rustle, as if a wild wind were raging out from within his body.

In reality, this Acupoint didn't specifically refer to a fixed anatomical point.

Qin Feng only felt that a mysterious "gate" seemed to have opened within his body. This "gate" was the acupoint gate in the sense of martial arts—a mysterious existence that was both profound and abstract. It existed within the precise human body, but in some dark, unseen way, it seemed to communicate with heaven and earth, carrying its own hidden space-time.

"What a wonderful feeling!"

"After opening the acupoint gate, I seem to have seen the cosmos and time, the stars of the Universe; it's as if my level of life has undergone a transformation!"

Rumble!

However, just as Qin Feng's mind was surging.

That mysterious acupoint gate that had opened within his body actually showed signs of closing after a booming tremor!

"It seems that this acupoint gate doesn't stay open permanently after being opened. If I don't use 'Qi' to keep it clear day and night, it will slowly close again."

Qin Feng kept his mind steady.

He continued to follow the white ape's Stake standing and Breathing.

While stabilizing the opening of the first acupoint gate, he tentatively tried to strike the second acupoint gate. Soon, the second Acupoint in his body was also cleared by 'Qi'...

The night seeped through the window.

Moonlight gradually spilled down.

Time passed bit by bit.

As the five Breathing Reincarnation cycles ended.

Qin Feng suddenly opened his eyes. In the depths of his pupils, five pupils seemed to appear for an instant, each pupil like a black hole, communicating with the stars and reflecting the Universe!

But in a moment.

This phenomenon vanished.

Qin Feng exhaled a long breath. This breath contained a distorted, unstable dark red blood color. When it hit the wall, it made a sizzling burning sound.

"I didn't even use a titan blood crystal. Just by Stake standing and Breathing to open five Acupoints, I actually forced out the pollution hidden deep in my genes?"

"I must say, this ten-thousand-yuan martial arts introductory tutorial is totally worth it!"

A look of joy appeared on Qin Feng's face.

He looked at his crimson cheat panel.

He saw that at this time.

A new skill had appeared on the panel:
