Chapter 403 Qi Cultivation
The next morning.
The old man with white eyebrows woke up feeling lost and bitter.
In just a few days, his radio was gone, the electric curtains had no power, and all he had left was this small temple.
And he couldn't even blame that young man!
The old man clasped his hands together in prayer, hoping the temple wouldn't be completely demolished, or he'd have to use it as a graveyard.
He saw the house was intact and empty.
He breathed a sigh of relief and nodded slightly.
Elbert's determination was impeccable; he had already gone out early to exercise.
"A true master indeed, even his recovery methods are unconventional and extraordinary."
"And I must say, the results are quite impressive."
"Drinking more fruit juice really works."
The old man felt invigorated and slowly made his way to a large stone in the backyard, where he sat cross-legged.
A few ten-year-old bald kids were already there, sitting cross-legged and waiting.
These children, like Rachel, were lay disciples from the village below.
"Time for morning meditation."
The old man slowly closed his eyes, exuding an air of wisdom.
"Yes, Master."
The young monks mimicked their master, sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed.
"First, calm your breath and meditate for half an hour."
The old man spoke in a serene tone, "To become a master, your mindset is paramount. When you can abandon distractions and achieve a peaceful heart, I will teach you techniques."
"Master!"
"I have a question."
One of the young bald kids raised his hand.
The old man opened one eye and said helplessly, "Can't stay quiet for even a minute! Go ahead, what's your question?"
The young monk said, "Master, my family says the temple is full of masters, and you are their teacher, so your martial arts must be even better."
The old man raised an eyebrow, "Of course, everyone in the temple is a martial arts expert trained by me. Even the cook in the kitchen is stronger than Superman."
The old man continued proudly, "And remember, I am not just any master; I am the Savior. I've told you many times."
"You said the Four Great Monks are your most prized disciples."
The young monk tilted his head, "But why did Peaceful Heart and Serene Mind get easily defeated by Elbert?"
The old man was taken aback and quickly said, "Adults' matters are none of your concern. What do you know?"
The young monk scratched his head, "Master, my parents sent me here to learn martial arts. If you can't explain, it proves you're not a martial arts expert. I want a refund!"
What?
The old man felt a pang in his heart at the word 'refund'!
His face turned red as he said, "That's impossible!"
"I mean, there's no way Elbert could beat Peaceful Heart and Serene Mind!"
The old man adjusted his posture and said seriously, "In Veridiania, there are countless extraordinary people and martial arts styles."
"Kids, have you heard of Qi?"
The young disciples looked confused.
The old man looked solemn and gazed into the distance, "Qi cultivation has a long history. Initially, it was for health and wellness. Later, people discovered it could not only strengthen the body but also unleash incredible power!"
"Qi cultivation has several levels."
"At the beginner level, your breath flows smoothly, and your body feels unimpeded."
"At the intermediate level, Qi penetrates the muscles, greatly enhancing training effects."
"At the advanced level, Qi can be condensed into strength, making heavy lifting easy and even breaking stones."
"At the peak level, Qi can be controlled at will, forming an energy shield and even being used for external attacks!"
The young disciples' eyes lit up, "Master, teach us Qi!"
"Unfortunately, I don't know it."
"Oh, no, I mean I do, but it's an advanced course that requires extra fees."
The old man smiled slightly, looking at the young bald kids.
"Master, you're trying to scam us again."
The young disciples pouted in protest.
"How dare you!"
The old man pretended to be serious, "Didn't you ask why the Four Great Monks lost to Elbert?"
"Let me tell you the truth!"
"Elbert has a special identity and will achieve great things in the future!"
"But he is still weak now. When the Four Great Monks sparred with him, I specifically instructed them not to use Qi!"
"The Four Great Monks come from a Qi cultivation family. Without using Qi, their strength is only thirty percent!"
"Do you understand now?"
"I charge you tuition because I have a broad mind and am willing to help the world!"
The young disciple who first asked the question thought for a moment and pouted, "Master, I think you're making this up. Refund the money."
"What? Are you rebelling?"
The old man straightened up and shouted, "Mindful Spirit!"
Mindful Spirit quickly approached.
The old man looked at the young bald kids and said seriously, "Mindful Spirit, my disciple! If Elbert challenges you, you can use Qi! But be careful not to hurt him!"
Hearing this, the young monks' eyes lit up again.
Mindful Spirit bowed and asked, "Master, what if Elbert doesn't challenge me?"
The old man looked at the frowning young monks and gritted his teeth:
"Then you challenge him!"
"There's no way I'm refunding the money, or I'll go bankrupt!"
