Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 565

Chapter 563: Five Elements Qigong

“Five Elements Qi Training Technique (Part 1)?” Wen Qing’er muttered the name of the technique, lost in it.

“How is it?”

“I can understand most of it. It’s about utilizing the characteristics of the five elements’ spiritual roots, combined with negative emotions, to break through bottlenecks and reach the fourth level of Qi training?”

“That’s what I mean. Follow the technique’s instructions and try to reach the fourth level.”

Wen Qing’er was stunned. Usually, when Senior Jiang instructed her on the “Spiritual Qi Diagram,” he would explain why this was done and why that wasn’t. Why didn’t he say anything today?

Wen Qing’er didn’t ask further questions. Following her understanding of the new technique, she attempted to reach the fourth level.

Once, twice, three times.

After three attempts, Wen Qing’er was exhausted, no longer able to push forward.

“I failed.” Wen Qing’er lowered her head, feeling that she had let Jiang Li down. She had assumed that Senior Jiang had told her to do this, believing she could succeed.

“When you were trying to break through the bottleneck just now, you didn’t fully understand the technique. What part of the technique do you not understand? Please tell me.”

“I may not understand many small details,” Wen Qing’er said cautiously, fearing Jiang Li’s anger.

“Feel free to tell me.”

Wen Qing’er’s failure was within Jiang Li’s expectations. From the perspective of Taoist Huiming, it was naturally not difficult; he was, after all, in the Tribulation Crossing Stage.

But Wen Qing’er was different. Her level was that of an ordinary mortal, among the most ordinary mortals in Jiuzhou.

Wen Qing’er recalled her failure and listed the questions one by one. Jiang Li wrote them down one by one.

“Rest today. I’ll think about how to answer these questions for you. We’ll continue training tomorrow.”

“Don’t worry about this failure. With me here, are you still worried about not reaching the fourth level of Qi Training?”

Wen Qing’er was relieved.

The next day, Jiang Li didn’t answer the questions directly. Instead, he handed Wen Qing’er several pages with the answers written on them.

“These pages have the answers to the questions.”

Wen Qing’er spent the whole morning carefully studying them, pondering them.

“So that’s how it is. I have a deviation in my understanding of negative emotions.”

In the afternoon, Wen Qing’er confidently tried to break through the fourth level of Qi training, but failed again. This time she discovered a new problem.

“Tell me what your problem is?”

Wen Qing’er told him everything.

After listening, Jiang Li continued to give Wen Qing’er a few pages and let her figure it out herself.

Wen Quan’s university was nearby, and even when the university started, he chose to live at home. He went home two days in a row and saw a similar scene. He was very puzzled and wanted to ask Jiang Li, but was stopped by Taoist Huiming.

Taoist Huiming’s expression was more solemn than ever, and beneath this solemnity was his heartfelt admiration.

He probably understood the meaning of Jiang Li’s actions.

Taoist Huiming felt ashamed of himself. Not only in terms of cultivation, but also in the perspective of the other party, he was far superior to him.

“What qualifications do I have to call him ‘fellow Daoist’?”

Another fortnight passed, during which Jiang Li and Wen Qing’er repeatedly repeated Wen Qing’er’s questions. Jiang Li’s written answers would be followed by Wen Qing’er’s sudden realization, and she faced a new challenge.

“Is the technique written by Senior Jiang so difficult?” Wen Quan asked inwardly.

“It’s not difficult. If you study, you’ll be able to master it quickly. It’s your sister’s comprehension that’s too slow. No, not too slow, but too ordinary.”

After half a month, Wen Qing’er finally fully understood the “Five Elements Qi Training Secret (Part 1).” She cultivated the five elements’ spiritual roots, gathered the negative emotions within her, and instantly broke through to the fourth level of Qi training.

“I did it?” Wen Qing’er couldn’t believe it, bursting into tears of joy, and happily hugged her good brother who had silently supported her.

Taoist Huiming had never imagined that for ordinary people, breaking through to the fourth level of Qi training would be such a cause for celebration.

“Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Jiang Li. Only now do I understand your intention. With this technique, the people of Jiuzhou can collectively break through to the fourth level of Qi training.”

Jiang Li also took a breath. He had put in a lot of energy recently.

“If it’s just Wen Qing’er who’s going to practice, then I’ll just write a technique that suits her physique. I want to make it more difficult so that mortals can practice it.”

“The difficulty of mortal cultivation lies in its universality. I’ve pondered what’s best for mortals to practice, and finally got the answer.”

“The answer lies in the five elements and negative emotions.”

“I once traveled for a while in a world where supernatural powers were used. I discovered that their supernatural powers came from the five elements, and they used the five elements to align with the five elements theory of creation to create all kinds of magical skills.”

“I also obtained the “Yu Yu Bei Tian Gong” from you, and learned that negative emotions can also help with cultivation.”

“I combined these two things into a technique, trying to make it as simple and understandable as possible for mortals.”

“Perhaps it’s because I’m in too high a position and have forgotten the way mortals think, so I didn’t let Wen Qing’er understand the new technique right away.”

“I realized that even if I brought this new technique back to Jiuzhou, it would be difficult to promote.”

“So I asked Wen Qing’er to point out the parts she didn’t understand, and I tried my best to put myself in her shoes and write down the answers using the way mortals think.”

“The facts have proved that I was quite successful. Wen Qing’er can understand what I wrote.”

Jiang Li shook a stack of papers: “These papers can be used as annotations for the new practice.”

“Why doesn’t Fellow Daoist Jiang Li go to Jiuzhou and explain it to everyone in person, but also take the trouble to write down various questions and answers?”

“Words will wear out information. Only by putting it on paper and establishing standard answers can it be widely disseminated so that everyone can correctly understand this practice.”

“This practice can allow both mortals and Qi training cultivators in Jiuzhou to advance to a higher level. Mortals can enter the middle stage of Qi training, cultivators in the middle stage of Qi training can enter the late stage of Qi training, and cultivators in the late stage of Qi training can enter the foundation building stage.”

“Cultivators in the foundation building stage cannot advance any further. This practice is only suitable for people in the Qi training stage.”

“Fellow Daoist, what’s the meaning behind calling this technique the “First Chapter”?

Jiang Li smiled. “Because I’m very ambitious. I want mortals to reach the middle stage of Qi training through the First Chapter, the late stage through the Middle Chapter, and the foundation-building stage through the Last Chapter.”

As long as one can cultivate to the fourth level of Qi training, then the fifth and sixth levels are only a matter of time. The seventh level is the next bottleneck for mortals.

“According to my estimation, the Middle Chapter requires me to find a method to slay the Good Corpse of the Three Corpses, and the Last Chapter requires a method to slay the Self Corpse.”

Taoist Huiming fell silent. The method of slaying the Three Corpses was a breakthrough method for beings above the Golden Immortal level, but for Jiang Li, it had become a breakthrough method for ordinary people. The disparity seemed unreal to him.

Bang, bang, bang—

a polite knock on the door. Wen Qing’er opened it and nearly fainted. She was met by the man she often saw on TV: the supreme ruler of this country.

“Hello, is this the home of Comrade Wen Quan and Comrade Wen Qing’er?” Just like on TV, the supreme ruler’s manners were comforting, a leader who truly cared for the people.

Jiang Li took a quick look and recognized the people: the Supreme Ruler, the president of the Mutual Aid Association, and the old man in a Tang suit he had met in the park.

This was truly top-tier.

Jiang Li and Taoist Huiming were not at all surprised by their arrival. For the past two weeks, the country’s security agencies had been deploying secret guards, clearing out irrelevant personnel, and controlling the flow of people.

Their movements were extremely stealthy, but no matter how stealthy they were, they couldn’t escape the eyes of the two men.
