A journey through ancient times, a journey of exquisite divine skills

Chapter 45 Flower Spirit Cultivation

"Sister Yang, what brings you to the valley?"

A group of little ones surrounded Yang Hualing like stars around the moon, chattering incessantly.

When Xiaoyue saw Yang Hualing arrive, she said timidly, "Sister Yang, um... we didn't mean to deceive you."

Xiao Ya once said that we should try our best not to let others know about our martial arts practice.

"You know, your sister Yang didn't say anything, so you don't need to explain to me so cautiously."

"Actually, seeing how superb your martial arts skills are, Sister Yang is actually quite happy for you," Yang Hualing replied with a smile.

"Little girl, can Sister Yang cultivate the Linglong Divine Skill? Could you teach Sister Yang too?"

"Yes, as long as Sister Yang is willing, I can certainly teach her."

But Sister Yang must promise me that this skill is like a rare treasure and cannot be taught indiscriminately.

Even if I were to take on apprentices in the future, I would have to be like a discerning eye for talent, judging whether they possess noble character.

There must be no adulterers or plunderers.

There must be no one who oppresses the people.

There must be no one who acts recklessly or improperly.

There must be no treacherous or cunning individuals.

There must be no one whose evil deeds have reached their limit.

Yun Dan said with a serious expression.

"I believe that Sister Yang would never spread rumors or do such an outrageous thing."

After Xiaoyue finished speaking, she looked intently at Yang Hualing.

“Alright, as long as Xiaoya is willing to teach, Sister Yang will treat her as if she has obtained a rare treasure and will be willing to learn humbly.”

Sister Yang also made a vow that once she had practiced the techniques taught by Xiao Ya, she would never pass them on to others without permission.

Even if I were to take on a disciple in the future, I would judge their character before deciding whether to pass on my teachings, just like a discerning eye would judge a horse.

Rape and plundering,

Those who oppress the people,

Those who act recklessly,

Insidious and cunning people

Those who are utterly wicked,

Like a demon fallen into an abyss, there is no hope of ever rising again.

"I, Yang Hualing, will never teach you any martial arts techniques, otherwise I, Yang Hualing, will surely be struck by lightning and suffer a terrible fate..." Before Yang Hualing could finish speaking, she heard Yun Dan's voice.

"It's alright, it's not that serious," Yun Dan said.

"Then Sister Yang, please come and cultivate with us. This cultivation technique of Xiaoya is truly amazing."

"I'm only 12 years old, but I'm already as strong as a Hercules!" Xiaoyue said excitedly.

In the valley, Yun Dan and Yang Hualing stood facing each other.

Yun Dan smiled as she looked at Yang Hualing.

"Sister Yang, I will now teach you the Linglong Divine Skill. I will recite the incantation of this skill to you first, and you must remember it."

The way of nature begins with movement and stillness, changes are endless, and there is both illusion and reality; it is natural and unpredictable.

The method of practice involves focusing the mind on other thoughts, constantly remaining in a state of emptiness and stillness, so that one sleeps without dreams and is undisturbed when awake.

The method of cultivating life force involves focusing the spirit on the meridians, ensuring that the breath is deep and continuous.

He thought, "I am thinking, God is thinking, the breath of truth is being drawn into my body, the breath of constant awareness is being drawn into my body."

Internal contraction and expansion, circulation throughout the body, returning to the elixir, neither forgetting nor assisting, seemingly present yet absent.

It possesses the attributes of the Five Elements, skillfully harmonizing Yin and Yang, from which power arises; it moves at will, flowing continuously, allowing for freedom and ease.

Yun Dan would say a sentence, and Yang Hualing would recite it after her. An hour later, Yang Hualing had memorized it.

"Little girl, I've already learned the incantation."

“Alright, next I’ll smooth out your meridians. Pay attention to how my internal energy flows,” Yun Dan said.

The two sat cross-legged in the bamboo house. Yun Dan placed her hands on Yang Hualing's back, and her hands emitted a faint red light.

In fact, Yun Dan didn't know why this was happening. Every time she helped someone to regulate their meridians, her hands would emit this faint red light.

Yun Dan was also completely confused, but she felt that it was beneficial to her after using it, so she didn't bother with it anymore.

Yang Hua was surprised by Yun Dan's profound inner strength.

"Such profound internal strength, Lesser Yuan Realm? Impossible, how old is she, and she has already entered the Innate Realm?"

Qian'er only broke through her cultivation after half a year of seclusion, and she's already over 20 years old. It was only through the Empress's use of various medicines that she reached her current level. The little girl is only 11 years old this year, right?

Yun Dan could never know what Yang Hualing was thinking. Yun Dan guided the energy through her meridians to her dantian and then back again.

Yun Dan is still at the first-rate level, not yet at the innate level, only his internal strength is slightly deeper.

She has been figuring things out on her own for the past three years since she arrived here. When she met Ding Fengyi last time, she didn't think much about it and missed out on learning about the world of martial arts.

In any case, she thought she would spend her whole life quietly waiting for Xiaoyu to wake up in Sujia Village, and wouldn't go anywhere else.

"Sister Yang, do you remember? Although you can cultivate on your own, with me helping you go through your meridians, you can become proficient much faster," Yun Dan said slowly.

Yang Hualing: "Thank you so much, little girl. I will definitely do my best in my cultivation."

After your explanation, I now understand that the power of this divine skill extends far beyond what I've described.

Yun Dan: "Yes, this exquisite divine skill is like a treasure trove that encompasses everything."

After cultivation, one's internal strength, movement techniques, fist techniques, sword techniques, formation techniques, medical and poison skills, talent, and other aspects can all be improved.

Although somewhat incomplete, it is still a top-tier cultivation technique.

Yun Dan looked up at the sky outside the window and then said.

"If one cultivates to the point of yin-yang balance, and internal energy transforms into true qi, perhaps one day one will be able to break through the void."

Upon hearing the words "shattering the void," Yang Hualing's eyes widened like copper bells as she stared intently at Yun Dan, her face filled with disbelief.

What did she hear? Shattered void—wasn't that an ethereal, elusive existence?

There are only fragmentary records of it in those ancient books, and even those are incomplete.

I've heard that the records only mention those who broke through the void in ancient times. The highest level of cultivation now is only at the peak of the Lesser Vehicle Realm, and no one can even reach the Greater Vehicle Realm.

At this moment, I heard the words "shattering the void" from the mouth of an 11-year-old girl.

Yang Hualing: "Although I don't know what the shattered void looks like, just thinking about it makes me feel that it is extremely powerful."

"Little girl, I will definitely train hard."

Yun Dan: "Your talent and aptitude are extremely high, even surpassing mine. I believe you will be able to master this divine skill."

"I will definitely not let you down, little girl."

Yun Dan: "Alright, from now on, let's cultivate together."

First, sit here and meditate for a while, and feel the flow of that trace of internal energy within your body.

Although our practice is gentle, we must not be careless; we must be fully focused during practice.

"Yes, I understand."

Yun Dan slowly walked out of the bamboo house, leaving Yang Hualing to slowly familiarize herself with it.

Before we knew it, another year had passed.

We are still in the valley today.

Yun Dan began to impart her experience of the Linglong Divine Skill to Yang Hualing, who listened attentively and tried her best to comprehend it.

During her cultivation, Yang Hualing encountered some difficulties, but with her firm belief and exceptional talent, she gradually overcame them.

As time went by, Yang Hualing's martial arts skills improved day by day. Her internal strength became more profound, her movements more agile, and her fist techniques more exquisite.

Yang Hualing: "Little girl, thanks to your guidance, I have made such progress."

"Sister Yang is amazing. I didn't expect her to have cultivated to such a high level in just half a year. She's almost as good as me."

Seeing how amazing Yang Hualing was, Xiaoyue felt no jealousy at all; she was only happy for her sister Yang.

Yun Dan: "Sister Yang's current skill level is the result of her hard work and talent working together."

"Don't worry, I will continue to cultivate diligently. Thank you, my dear companions."

“Yes, we are good friends.” A group of little kids chattered excitedly.

Yun Dan: "Actually, we should thank Sister Yang, because it is because of you that our martial arts skills have been able to improve further."

Previously, we practiced martial arts moves in the correct order on our own, but now, thanks to your guidance, we can all use them at will.

No one expected that it was because of people like Yun Dan that Yang Hualing was able to reach the second-rate realm so quickly in just half a year.

Many years later, Yang Hualing became a top martial arts master.

She used her martial arts skills to uphold justice and protect the safety of the people.

Because Yun Dan taught Hua Lingxing the Linglong Divine Skill, many people were spared from the ravages of war.

Unfortunately, even for Yun Dan, a time traveler, such a peaceful life was impossible to maintain.
