Chapter 118 - 118: Teaching Cultivation Techniques
After creating the <Green Lotus Pill>, Luan saw that the problem with the invaders had now been solved, and so he then called the girls to the training room.
"Ingrid, you already have a cultivation technique, so there's no need for me to pass one on to you," Luan said and looked at Maira, Cristina and Catharina next. "I will now be transferring the first part of a Qi cultivation technique to each of you three. From now on, you will be able to get stronger at a higher speed, and it will also be easier for each of you to understand your Origin."
"Yes!" The three looked determined.
"You don't have to be so serious," Luan said, "I've already reached the point where I can transfer the technique directly to each of your brains, so you just need to sit down and close your eyes. It will hurt a little, but nothing much for very long."
"Okay." Maira, Cristina, and Catharina nodded in unison.
"I'm going to start with Cristina," Luan said, approaching her. "The name of the technique is: <Heart of Fire>. You will create a second heart that will be the core of your Qi. This technique is very advanced, so I will only pass the first part for now. When I see that you have become stronger, I will pass the other parts in succession."
"Yes!" Cristina closed her eyes tightly and concentrated very much for fear of not being able to understand what Luan would transfer to her.
The process took only 10 minutes, but the information transferred took more than 1 hour for her mind to decode. Cristina was in a state of meditation, much like an enlightenment mode.
"Mom, now it's your turn," Luan said, approaching her.
The moment he touched her head, Luan said, "This is a very powerful technique. It is called <Five Doors of a Powerful Mind>. Like Cristina, I'm just going to only teach you the first part for now."
Seeing her nod in understanding, Luan began to transfer the technique. The process was almost the same as Cristina's; it was just a little more difficult, and Maira felt a little more pain, as it was a more complex technique.
After finishing transferring the technique to Maira, Luan went to Catharina. He said with a sigh, "Catharina, the technique that I will pass on to you is strong, but not the most powerful. Unfortunately, it is the only technique I have that can be of help with your Origin. It is a Fourth Order technique. After completing it, you can learn a new technique. The name of the technique is called: < Star Cloak>. You will be able to create a star mantle with which to attack and defend. This can even be used to ignore gravity and fly. It is a very useful technique and it can be made even better by you as you have the Fabric Star Origin. In any case, I will pass on the first two parts of the technique."
"Being able to fly..." That was the part that caught her attention most. Catharina loved to travel by plane; she loved to fly, really. If she was able to fly by herself, how amazing would that be? Just thinking about it made her daydream.
"Focus, or else it will be even more painful," Luan said, warning her.
"Yes." Catharina stopped what she was thinking before and concentrated while sitting cross-legged.
Although it seemed to be the most disadvantageous, if one were to think about it, it would take a long time for her to reach the Fourth Order, and when complete, she would have the power of <Star Cloak> just for herself. After that, Catharina could learn a new technique.
"Ingrid, you don't have to wait. You can start meditating, but before that, take this pill." Luan handed her the <Green Lotus Pill>. It was a green translucent pill which looked like a very beautiful glass ball.
Ingrid swallowed it and said, "I'm going to start meditating then."
"Okay." Luan kissed her lips with a quick kiss and smiled.
Ingrid saw that no one was watching since they were all meditating and just smiled. She then sat on the floor with her legs crossed and started to meditate.
Unlike before, now the amount of Qi she was able to pull from heaven and earth was much greater. Her entire body emitted a red and green aura. A very large amount of Qi started to accumulate in the center of her body.
Gradually, Ingrid felt that her cultivation was increasing.
Luan did not start meditating. He was waiting for the girls to finish understanding the technique to give a <Green Lotus Pill> to each one.
The first to finish was Cristina. "Swallow it, and go back to meditating with the technique," Luan prompted her.
"Yes, Master." Cristina nodded obediently.
Whenever she was being taught by Luan, she called Luan her Master, but sometimes she forgot and called him 'Big Brother'.
The last to have the technique transferred was the second to finish understanding. Catharina opened her eyes and Luan said, "Here, take this pill."
"Okay." Catharina didn't need much explanation until she started meditating again, now using the technique.
After 10 minutes, Maira opened her eyes with a long sigh. "That was difficult."
"Well, it is a very complex technique. If you think about it, you were actually quick to understand it. If it were someone else, it might have even taken them weeks to understand just the first part." Luan smiled.
Maira thought about what Luan had said and didn't want to brag, but she also agreed that if she were someone else, she might not have understood it so quickly.
"Here, mother. Take this pill, and go back to meditating. It will help to build up Qi faster." Luan handed over the <Green Lotus Pill>.
"All right." Maira took it and swallowed and went back to meditating.
Luan could finally swallow the pill too and meditate.
The moment he did so, a lot of Qi was manifested around him. A white aura with green surrounded his body, almost dancing happily.
Almost two hours later, Luan frowned. He felt that the formation he had created in the training room was falling apart. It was reasonable, considering the absurd amount of energy they were collecting from Heaven and Earth.
'I need to reinforce this with magic stones...' Luan murmured in his mind. Luckily, he had enough. He could strengthen the formation to be strong enough for them to achieve the Second Order with Qi alone, not to mention the body, which would make it even stronger.
Luan stopped meditating. Thanks to the pill, he got 38 times stronger with Qi. If he reaches 50 times stronger than an ordinary man with Qi, he will have no problem fighting a ghost of the Second Order.
The problem with fighting a phantom was that body strength was not very useful. Although it could affect the ghost a little, it was limited. That's why he wasn't able to do much the last time. However, he did not want to continue like this for long. He already had enough herbs and medicinal plants and also had enough items to create an even more powerful formation and to be able to collect even more Qi from Heaven and Earth.
'This girl is a true genius...' Luan murmured in his heart. Cristina on her first try had managed to form a small heart of fire as a nucleus and reached the strength of 6 ordinary men with Qi alone. It may have seemed little, but this was surprising for the first time that she was cultivating Qi.
Maira and Catharina were not far behind. They managed to form their Dantian and reached the strength of 5 ordinary men with Qi alone.
Ingrid also was not playing around; she managed to reach the strength of 30 men with Qi alone.
