Chapter 295 Common People's Cultivation Technique: The Nine Transformations of the Ancestral Dragon [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

"I have exhausted the fruits of my wisdom to simplify the complex and created the Three Styles of Farmers."

First move: Hoeing.

It is a method that gathers the strength of the whole body and moves the qi and blood, teaching how to use qi and strength to dig through the soil and muddy ground in a simpler and more effortless way.

Every swing of the hoe is a burst of all the strength in the body.

It's simple and easy to learn. Farmers who frequently work in the fields can master it after just a few practice sessions.

Day after day, wielding a hoe and tilling the land, over time, not only does one become physically strong and energetic, but one's skill also becomes almost divine; each swing of the hoe achieves the greatest effect with the least amount of effort.

"Second style: mowing style."

A sickle can be used to cut weeds, and it can also be used to harvest grains and rice stalks, embodying the skill of using a squatting posture to exert force.

After mowing for a long time, one develops an aura of dominance, capable of even intimidating wild beasts.

If one possesses sufficient talent, the daily act of mowing grass may even lead to an understanding of the essence of harvesting all things, thus elevating one to the level of a martial arts master.

"The third move: the mud-wading step."

It's somewhat similar to a movement technique; it doesn't allow people to leap across rooftops or scale walls, but it enables ordinary people to move swiftly even in muddy conditions.

It is a basic martial art that uses minimal force to maximize speed and stability.

“In addition to the Farmer’s Three Styles, I also created the Woodcutter’s Three Styles.”

"First move: Chopping wood."

It's about practicing technique—using minimal force to cut down the thickest tree. Simple yet effective.

It can also improve blood circulation and increase strength.

"Second style: Chopping wood style."

It trains explosive power in an instant, concentrating one's strength into a single point and striking down fiercely.

Let alone trees and firewood, even tigers and wolves, or even martial arts masters, could be fought if one had a wood-chopping knife in hand.

"The third move: All living beings are like firewood."

The idea is that when you hold a wood-chopping knife, you can find the feeling of chopping wood when facing all living beings, including inanimate objects and living beings, whether animals or people. With one stroke, all living beings are like firewood.

With a single stroke, one can almost cleave everything in two, demonstrating decisiveness and ruthlessness, and cultivating courage and fighting spirit.

Those with exceptional intelligence can grasp the profound meaning of the plight of countless beings.

“In addition to the three styles of woodcutter, I also created the three styles of blacksmith.”

"First move: Blacksmithing move."

It has the mysterious technique of hammering iron, which can use the force of rebound to hammer iron in the most effortless and effective way, vibrating the muscles and internal organs of the whole body. It is the most effective way to temper the body and blood among all the three styles of farmers, woodcutters and blacksmiths.

Every blacksmith who uses the blacksmithing style can have the most beautiful, powerful, and smoothest muscles, and be full of energy, strength, and combat power.

Every swing of the hammer not only refines the impurities from the steel, but also, through the vibrations, refines the impurities from one's own body.

"Second method: Quenching method."

By quenching hot steel in a specially prepared medicinal solution, the steel's hardness, toughness, elasticity, corrosion resistance, impact resistance, and so on can be enhanced.

Similarly, if a blacksmith, whose element is fire, were to enter my medicinal bath, it would be like quenching, harmonizing yin and yang, enhancing the various attributes of his physical body and blood, making him more powerful, and even nurturing internal energy.

"The third technique: the sharpening technique."

Sharpening a knife is like sharpening a person; it can invigorate and transport qi and blood, breaking down internal qi and blood, and affecting the body's muscles and bones.

Sharpening the knife ten times a day, over time, will result in a body and spirit as strong as the elite soldiers of any nation.

"Besides these methods that are mostly used for men, there are also methods for women."

"For example, this [sewing needle technique] is also wonderful."

Women are generally weak, but this martial art can strengthen their bodies through daily sewing and mending, thus achieving the effect of being immune to all diseases.

The acupuncture technique is profound; with prolonged practice, one can wield flying needles, striking unexpectedly and possessing considerable offensive power. By pricking weak points, the needles enable women to defend themselves.

"And this [Mischievous Child's Walking Step], although it is an extremely rudimentary light-body technique, is designed to train children's bodies and strengthen their physique."

This allows them to move swiftly even in the mountains and fields, climbing trees and leaping across streams as if walking on flat ground.

After listening to Chen Hong's explanation and seeing him demonstrate it himself, everyone was amazed.

Although these things seem very rudimentary, upon closer examination, they reveal profound truths; the greatest truths are the simplest.

The three styles of farmers, woodcutters, blacksmiths, sewing needlework, and the playful steps of a mischievous child embody Chen Hong's wisdom. The greatest truths are the simplest, and the most basic and simplest principles are incorporated into these works.

Although their power is not strong and their potential is not high, these things greatly lower the entry barrier for cultivation.

Even the most foolish villager can become physically strong and even develop internal energy through years of labor and cultivation, thus stepping into the threshold of cultivation.

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. Day after day, year after year of hard work and practice can even create many seemingly unbelievable skills.

The simplest examples are the elderly people in the park who experience Ragnarok, and the amazing people with incredible skills in all walks of life.

Chen Hong never underestimates the miracles born from a lot of repetitive labor every day.

It can be said that after Chen Hong passed on these things to the people, there will inevitably be some talented people who will achieve great things later in life and stand out from the crowd.

How could someone over seventy years old become a sword saint, a knife saint, a hoe saint, a sickle saint, a woodcutter saint, and a blacksmith saint...

That was inevitable.

Chen Hong wouldn't be surprised if a batch of Innate Realm cultivators, several hundred True Qi Realm cultivators, dozens of True Yuan Realm cultivators, and a few True Core Realm cultivators emerged.

Given the vast population of the people, it is perfectly normal for a dozen or so geniuses to emerge.

If they become stronger and start learning to read and write, and study various schools of thought and knowledge, it's even possible that a few people could reach the Yin God Realm or Yang God Realm.

None of the philosophers and nobles from the seven states present were fools; most of them saw the enormous potential in Chen Hong's seemingly ordinary but rudimentary skills.

That is to drastically lower the threshold for cultivation, enabling all people in the world to become stronger.

This is undoubtedly a very impressive achievement.

It is more difficult, more impressive, and closer to the essence of the Dao than creating a peerless martial arts technique.

These things are truly great undertakings that can change the entire world, change the entire era, and influence future generations.

Some are happy about this, while others are sad. But most are happy, because it represents progress for the entire world.

The kings of the seven kingdoms, with more and stronger people, can cultivate more land, create more wealth, build stronger armies, and resist the increasingly powerful warriors of the world.

Meanwhile, the various schools of thought during the Warring States period were able to select and discover more talents and geniuses, replenish fresh blood, develop their schools, and produce more powerful individuals.

The common people were even happier, because they couldn't understand or learn those unparalleled martial arts techniques at all.

However, the rudimentary techniques taught by Chen Hong were not only simple and easy to learn, but also integrated with their daily work. They didn't need to waste time practicing them, and they could improve their strength by grinding time and improving their proficiency. The requirements for natural talent were very low.

This is practically tailor-made for them!

One can imagine that when these techniques spread throughout the world, the world will continue to grow stronger and more prosperous over the next few decades or centuries.

So everyone bowed deeply to Chen Hong.

"Thank you for your guidance, Immortal!"

"Thank you for your guidance, Immortal!"

"Thank you for your guidance, Immortal!"

……

Looking at the crowds of people bowing respectfully to him, Chen Hong nodded.

Without saying much, his mission was complete.

So he put away the Five Elements Armor, just as Chen Hong was about to leave with the women.

The young Ying Zheng invited his master, Chen Hong, to the Xianyang Palace for a chat.

So Chen Hong and the others went to Xianyang Palace.

After carefully studying and observing Ying Zheng's kingly dragon aura, Chen Hong tailored a cultivation method for Ying Zheng—the "Nine Transformations of the Ancestral Dragon Technique".

First Transformation: Absorbing Qi into the Body. This means communicating with the Emperor's Dragon Qi. It corresponds to the "Three Realms of Foundation Building".

Second Transformation: Gathering Qi for Use. Gathering the aura of a ruler. Corresponds to the "Third-rate to First-rate Acquired Realm".

The third transformation: Condensing Qi into form. After gaining power, the more Qi one gathers, the more one condenses it into a serpentine shape. This corresponds to the "Innate Realm".

Fourth Transformation: From Snake to Python. The dragon energy possessed by the outlaw forces causes snakes to grow larger, becoming pythons. This corresponds to the "True Qi Realm".

Fifth Transformation: From Python to Dragon. Becoming a powerful warlord, the python evolves into a three-clawed dragon. Corresponds to the "True Essence Realm".

The sixth transformation: from a dragon to a dragon. Becoming a king with a kingdom, the three-clawed dragon evolves into a four-clawed dragon. This corresponds to the "True Core Realm".

The seventh transformation: from a chi (螭) to a dragon. The chi dragon evolves into a golden dragon. Depending on the size of its power and the loyalty of the people, the dragon's claws range from three to five. A five-clawed golden dragon is the standard for a normal emperor. This corresponds to the "Yin God Realm".

The Eighth Transformation: From Gold to Purple. This signifies the completion of unification, with the world submitting and the four seas united. Depending on the strength of the power and the people's loyalty, the number of claws ranges from 5 to 8. This corresponds to the "Yang God Realm."

Ninth Transformation: Purple Transformation Mystic Dragon. Only those who have achieved unification, whose hearts and minds have completely submitted to the world, and who are the first emperors, possessing the aura of the Ancestral Dragon, can cultivate the [Nine-Clawed Mystic Water Ancestral Dragon True Body]. Corresponds to the "Primordial Spirit Realm".

If one can unify the map of a world, one can cultivate the [Twelve-Clawed Mysterious Water Ancestral Dragon True Body], whose strength far surpasses that of ordinary Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.

The greatest advantage of the "Nine Transformations of the Ancestral Dragon" is that it is bound to the forces under one's command; the stronger the forces, the stronger one's power.

They don't need to cultivate diligently on their own, and their strength surpasses that of cultivators at the same level.

However, the balance of the natural order also has its downsides, namely, it is tied to power. Once a power is destroyed or a dynasty is destroyed, one will also perish and disappear.

The strength of a power is related to the degree of loyalty of the people. The more the people like the emperor, the more satisfied they are with the court, and the more loyal they are to the country, the more dragon energy they will gather, and the higher the quality of the dragon energy will be.

Correspondingly, the more and stronger the dragon energy that the emperor can mobilize, the greater his power will naturally be.

The cultivation process involves collecting free-floating energy and devouring dragon energy weaker than oneself.

If you want to take risks, you can also devour dragon energy forces of the same level, or even a snake swallowing an elephant or a wild bird swallowing a dragon, devouring dragon energy forces that are much stronger than yourself, but the level of danger will increase dramatically.

You can also obtain more and stronger dragon energy by developing your own powerful nation.

In short, this is a cultivation method for cultivating Imperial Dragon Qi, and it represents Chen Hong's exploration of this mysterious power.

The Nine Transformations of the Ancestral Dragon Technique is undoubtedly the most suitable cultivation method for Ying Zheng, and it was specially tailored for him by Chen Hong.

Soon, under Chen Hong's tutelage, Ying Zheng began to cultivate the "Nine Transformations of the Ancestral Dragon Technique," and his strength steadily increased.

Ying Zheng was originally the king of Qin, and he possessed a very strong dragon aura.

Under the influence of dragon energy and cultivation techniques, the dragon energy is continuously condensed, completing the transformation.

First transformation: Absorbing Qi into the body, completed.

The second transformation: gathering energy for use, completed.

The third transformation: condensing qi and taking form, completed.

Fourth transformation: Raising a snake into a python, complete.

The fifth transformation: from python to dragon, completed.

It wasn't until the sixth transformation, when he was about to become a dragon, that he was unable to fully transform into a four-clawed dragon because he hadn't fully mastered the Qin state and the dragon energy of Qin hadn't been fully gathered on him.

His strength is between the "True Essence Realm" and the "True Core Realm".

If one uses the dragon energy of the Qin state to suppress the enemy, one can unleash the power of the "True Core Realm".

After helping Ying Zheng complete his cultivation, Chen Hong led the women away on a cloud.

After Chen Hong left, the situation in Qin was turbulent, and a battle between Ying Zheng and Lü Buwei was inevitable.

The victor will truly control the Qin state.

With Chen Hong's numerous advantages, although the young Ying Zheng's foundation in the court was not as strong as Lü Buwei's, his chances of winning were actually greater than Lü Buwei's.

As news and content of Chen Hong's preaching spread throughout the world, the world was shaken, and everyone realized that a brand new era was about to begin.

As the True Qi Martial Arts System and various techniques passed down by Chen Hong spread and flourish, a group of martial arts prodigies and experts will inevitably emerge.

Furthermore, the people of the world will continue to become stronger.

Ignoring all the commotion, Chen Hong led the women back to Fire Rain Manor.

Before leaving, he planned to create a new set of cultivation techniques tailored to each of the women.
