Chapter 2853 - 2915: Nameless Boxing Technique

It’s the jade door. Li Yifei used the True Qi Blade to slash twice on it, peeling away the dust clinging to the surface, and found that inside it was indeed jade—an entire piece of jade stone, and it was top-quality jade, with radiant light flowing, inviting affection. Li Yifei didn’t expect to find such a thing in a place like this, hidden under an unremarkable ancient tomb.

Could an ordinary cultivator have such a large piece of jade? They could, but it would require extremely good fortune to obtain it.

"Apologies, I’m a bit intrigued, so I want to take a look inside. But don’t worry, I won’t destroy the things in your tomb!" Li Yifei finished speaking, let out a chuckle, thinking it rather pointless. Even if it’s a tomb chamber, no one could still be inside, as the place seemed quite old. If there were still someone alive, Li Yifei would have to shout, ’It’s a zombie!’ So he added, "I’ll try not to damage your belongings, but if there are treasures, they’re mine now. Leaving them here is just waiting for a destined person."

"Crack... Crash." Just as Li Yifei was looking for a way in, his hand involuntarily pushed against the jade door, and with a cracking sound, the entire jade door shattered.

Li Yifei instinctively widened his eyes, his body dodged to the side, True Qi Armor flaring in defense against any hidden weapons shooting out.

One second... Ten seconds... One minute... Li Yifei heard no sound. It was dark inside; Li Yifei raised his hand, throwing the True Qi Blade to illuminate, revealing a spacious stone chamber about ten meters away.

"Zing!" The True Qi Blade apparently hit something, making a collision sound. Li Yifei raised his eyebrows, thinking it over and deciding not to scare himself, so he condensed another True Qi Blade and, holding a small flashlight in the other hand, stepped inside.

In a space about the size of a classroom, at the center was a stone coffin placed on a stone platform, and the air was relatively normal. However, Li Yifei was already in the Turtle Breath State, not needing to breathe.

The recent True Qi Blade had struck the opposite wall; Li Yifei shrugged regretfully, as it wasn’t intentional. Seeing candle holders on both sides, Li Yifei approached and discovered they could still be ignited, so he took out a lighter and lit them, brightening the whole space.

Li Yifei also saw the full picture. On the wall facing the coffin were several paintings that, upon closer inspection, seemed to be... musical scores? Li Yifei wasn’t familiar with these, merely speculating, so he took out his phone to photograph them. Simultaneously, Li Yifei noticed the date carved under the scores—Spring of the 15th year of Emperor Wanli’s reign.

"Wanli year fifteen... fifteen eighty-something, if I remember correctly!" Li Yifei thought aloud, having studied Ming history, especially being knowledgeable about the Wanli era, like Zhang Juzheng or the Single Whip Law—textbook material for exams in middle and high school history.

Given it’s from the fifteen-eighties, it’s over four hundred years old. Li Yifei nodded internally, confirming the tomb owner was indeed an ancient person. If they were still alive, it would be a miracle.

Therefore, Li Yifei felt no fear. Viewing differently, he’d be glad if they could come back to life, as they would be a cultivator and considered a senior.

After photographing the score, Li Yifei planned to consult experts after leaving. If it’s an existing piece, then no matter. But if it’s lost, it would be quite a discovery.

Having researched that wall, Li Yifei turned to the right wall and found two human anatomical diagrams with dotted spots representing acupuncture points. However, they appeared slightly different; Li Yifei visualized comparing two sets of acupuncture charts in his mind, revealing some disparities.

Li Yifei couldn’t quite understand it, so he also photographed them to study later since he couldn’t take the stone-carved diagrams with him.

On the third wall, Li Yifei stood and saw a boxing technique. Unlike simple stick figures, as Li Yifei looked closely, these figures seemed alive, moving in front of him, each move distinct. Still, there was one issue: staring at it induced serious dizziness, which was almost impossible for Li Yifei to experience.

Thus, the techniques on the wall had intricacies. Even toward the end, Li Yifei had to exert tremendous focus and concentration to perceive the figures.

"No, not right!" Li Yifei abruptly halted, the figures vanished from view. Silent, he sat cross-legged, disregarding any danger, beginning his True Qi regulation, having suddenly realized his Dantian’s True Qi was rapidly depleting, akin to a powerful pump draining a reservoir, even exhausting Li Yifei’s substantial cultivation.

Merely a tenth or so of the Dantian’s True Qi remained, an extremely alarming event.

He hastily activated his cultivation, bringing the True Qi to about half before opening his eyes, finding the flashlight had long died and the chamber’s candles burned dimly. Li Yifei retrieved his backpack, procured another flashlight, re-illuminating the area as he frowned, refraining from standing immediately.

He noticed he had spent roughly ten hours down here, meaning outside should be bright already, possibly even around eleven o’clock.

"This boxing technique has issues. Just observing it depletes focus and stamina; practicing it must consume even more!" Li Yifei tried mentally running the technique, finding it difficult. This exceeded his perception, wondering if mental simulation exhausts energy.

Stopping, Li Yifei considered running through two-thirds already, thinking he might as well finish the remainder to avoid any problems.

The boxing technique was indeed excellent; even the early moves, paired with the body’s meridian flow, showcased considerable power, comparable to... an adult punching a tree where they could choose any form, but even with similar physique, a normal person and a boxer, the strength differs.

Liu Yifei’s martial art skills need no elaboration, honed over years, lethal moves. Yet he found this boxing technique remarkable, deepening Li Yifei’s understanding of True Qi manipulation.

This was just a brief thought; delving further might yield more rewards.

Immersed thus, Li Yifei somewhat forgot the time. He’d recuperate through meditation, then continued learning. After taking in all the figures mentally, another fourteen to fifteen hours had passed, meaning he spent a whole day here.

"Time flies, but it’s worthwhile!" Li Yifei checked his phone, deciding to go up, attending to personal hygiene, and eating something. While not necessary, habit made hunger uncomfortable.

After dealing with these issues, Li Yifei stretched his muscles, enjoying the good mountain air and moderate temperature. On a whim, noting a tree over a meter in diameter, Li Yifei punched it using the tomb wall’s boxing method.

"Crack... Thunk!" With Li Yifei’s punch, the tree of over a meter diameter was punched through swiftly. Despite being a pine tree, relatively hard, though not as solid as concrete, still quite tough, Li Yifei punched a hole through it.

"I only used... half my strength, yet such impact. This Nameless Boxing Technique is impressive, worth the day of learning." Li Yifei withdrew his arm from the trunk, penetrating thirty to forty centimeters, with the remainder battered by the fist’s wind.

Stretching his arm, Li Yifei felt joyous, considering it worthwhile regardless of further gains.

In good spirits, Li Yifei decided to explore the final wall, as it wouldn’t take long.

Going back down, Li Yifei approached the fourth wall, scratching his head. There was nothing on the fourth wall except an arrow pointing to... the coffin. Li Yifei turned, fixing his gaze on the coffin.

"Feeling a bit tricked." Muttering, Li Yifei stepped toward the modest-sized coffin without fearing seeing bones or anything inside, having spent one whole day and night here, any fear would have long surfaced.

"Although I said I wouldn’t damage your tomb, this is your guidance with such a large arrow. If I hadn’t noticed, so be it, but seeing it, checking is inevitable, it’s not like I’m mistaken, right? Oh, asking you, you wouldn’t answer anyway, so... in gratitude for teaching me such a great boxing technique, I promise to erect a tombstone outside, re-arrange your Formation Method; simple distractions may deter ordinary people but not anyone skilled in formations." Li Yifei rambled to soothe his mind, then stepped forward, pushing the stone coffin.
