I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 42

Chapter 42: Gongfa Simulation 100

“The boxing technique I’m about to teach you is something I stumbled upon in my youth. It’s easy to learn, but difficult to master. Getting started isn’t that difficult. I

‘ll demonstrate it first; watch carefully.” With that, the old doctor set up his stance and began practicing the same routine he did every morning.

Lu Qing watched intently.

As the old doctor finished the first move, a prompt appeared in his field of vision.

[Kung Fu technique discovered. Simulate?]

Staring at his master, Lu Qing silently selected Simulate.

[Simulation started. Current progress: 1%, 2%, 3%…]

As the old doctor practiced each move, the progress bar in Lu Qing’s field of vision jumped rapidly.

[97%, 98%, 99%, 100%]

Finally, when the old doctor reached the final move and began to close,

the progress bar in Lu Qing’s field of vision reached 100%.

[Kung Fu simulation successful.]

[Kung Fu name: Health-nourishing Fist]. [

Origin: Developed and perfected by Chen Songqing based on an unnamed, incomplete technique he accidentally acquired in his youth.]

[Benefits: Strengthens the body and nourishes the body, with remarkable effects on regulating Qi and blood, and strengthening the tendons and bones. Upon reaching a deep level of cultivation, there’s a certain probability of breaking through to the Inner Visceral Realm.]

[Should I practice?]

Lu Qing didn’t choose to practice immediately.

Instead, he was captivated by the information within.

It turned out that this boxing technique was actually created by his master based on an incomplete technique he acquired in his youth.

Being able to independently deduce and perfect a technique, his master’s ability would surely earn him the title of a martial arts genius in the martial arts world.

It seemed that his master’s skills were even greater than he had imagined.

Lu Qing couldn’t help but wonder.

“How was it, Ah Qing? Did you see the moves I just demonstrated?”

the old doctor asked with a smile, after finishing his stance.

“I didn’t quite understand,” Lu Qing

said honestly. He was being truthful.

Without his supernatural powers, he truly wouldn’t have understood the boxing techniques the old doctor was demonstrating.

Aside from a distinct charm, everything else was completely confusing.

“Haha, it’s normal not to understand,” the old doctor laughed. “What I just showed you was just the form of the boxing technique. I haven’t taught you the truly important mental techniques and mantras for moving Qi and blood, and strengthening the muscles and bones.”

“Come, I’ll teach you the mental techniques for moving Qi and blood.”

The old doctor then began explaining the boxing techniques to Lu Qing, move by move.

How to regulate breathing, how to move Qi and blood, how to focus the mind on the Dantian…

every key point of the practice was explained in exquisite detail.

This lecture lasted two hours.

“Alright, that’s all for today,”

the old doctor said after explaining the ninth move, seeing that Lu Qing could already perform the technique properly.

“This set of boxing techniques has a total of thirty-six moves. The first nine are primarily for invigorating Qi and blood and regulating breath.”

“In the coming days, as long as you persevere and practice diligently, the day you truly master them will be the day you officially enter the Qi and Blood Realm.”

“As for the remaining moves, your current body isn’t up to the task, so don’t practice them for now.”

“Master, are you saying that once I’ve mastered these nine moves, I’ll be able to become as powerful and robust as those warriors you described?” Lu Qing exclaimed in surprise.

“Indeed, as long as you can reach the Qi and Blood realm, you’ll naturally be able to match them.” The old doctor nodded.

Then he warned, “However, you must also remember that too much is as bad as too little. When practicing martial arts, you must practice moderation. Don’t rush for quick results or expect instant success. Doing so will only harm your body.”

“Disciple, I’ve got it.” Lu Qing nodded seriously.

“Also, martial arts training is very demanding, so you need to keep up your nutrition. Don’t save the money you earned from selling the Red Moon Carp. Buy more meat every day to replenish your Qi and Blood, otherwise it will only waste your energy.”

“Disciple, I understand.” Lu Qing nodded again.

He had already taken the money from selling the Red Moon Carp from his master and hidden it in a secret corner of his home.

Now seemed like the time to put it to use.

“Unfortunately, I’m still missing a few herbs and haven’t been able to gather them. Otherwise, if I had all the herbs, I could make you a few doses of Qi and Blood Reinforcing Essence Soup, and perhaps the time it would take for you to enter the Qi and Blood Realm would be greatly shortened,” the old doctor said with some regret.

“No need, Master. You’ve already helped me enough, and I haven’t even repaid you in the slightest, so how dare I trouble you any more?” Lu Qing said hurriedly.

“Well, when I have time to go into the mountains, I’ll see if I can find those herbs,” the old doctor said.

Seeing that his master didn’t seem to be giving up, Lu Qing was deeply moved.

He didn’t know what to say, so he could only silently remember this kindness in his heart.

“Alright, that’s all for today. When you go back, don’t forget to practice boxing. Come up tomorrow, and I’ll check if you’ve slacked off.”

The master and disciple chatted for a while, and the old doctor waved him away.

Lu Qing hesitated for a moment and said, “Master, how about I stay and serve you?”

“No, I’m still strong enough to be served. Besides, I have medicinal herbs piled everywhere here, so there’s no room for you and Xiaoyan. You should go back home.”

The old doctor refused without hesitation.

“Then… I’ll take my leave first and come back tomorrow to pay my respects to you.”

Seeing the old doctor’s insistence, Lu Qing had no choice but to give up.

He picked up Xiaoyan, who was already drowsy, and prepared to go down the mountain.

“Wait a moment.”

As they were about to descend, the old doctor suddenly emerged from the courtyard and handed Lu Qing a book.

“You’ve already memorized the ‘Catalogue of Materia Medica’. Next, read this ‘Treatise on Acupuncture and Moxibustion Points’. Memorize the acupuncture points in it first. I’ll test you later.”

When Lu Qing reached the foot of the mountain, holding the book and Xiaoyan in his arms, his face was still a little dazed.

Originally, he thought that after becoming the old doctor’s disciple, he and Xiaoyan would live in the small courtyard halfway up the mountain.

After all, as a disciple, it was natural to serve the master and take care of the master’s daily life.

But the old doctor did not seem to have such an intention, and instead asked him to continue living at home at the foot of the mountain.

Although this was also a good thing for Lu Qing, he always felt a little weird.

Shaking his head and no longer thinking about it, Lu Qing carried the already asleep Xiaoyan and walked home.

After returning home, the first thing he did was to take out some money and go find Uncle Zhang.

Then, regardless of the other party’s refusal, he paid the money that the villagers had prepared for him as a gift for his apprenticeship today. After all

, he was not short of money now, so how could he have the nerve to let the villagers, who were not rich to begin with, bear the cost of his apprenticeship gift.

After stuffing the money into Uncle Zhang’s hand, Lu Qing returned to his yard and prepared to start practicing boxing.

However, this time, he was going to use his supernatural powers to practice.
