Chapter 170 Meng Yanqing Descends the Mountain for Training

"From this day forward, all of you soldiers of the Po Jun Camp are disciples of the Divine Martial Hall of my Tianyan Sect!"

Meng Xihong turned to look at Qin Zhan, his tone sincere:

"Qin Zhan is the chief elder of the Divine Martial Hall of my Tianyan Sect, in charge of all affairs of the Divine Martial Hall!"

"We will obey the sect leader's orders!"

Qin Zhan clasped his hands in a fist and bowed deeply once more.

This time, it was a subordinate's courtesy to their patriarch.

"I will obey the sect leader's command!!!"

Three thousand soldiers responded in unison, their voices resounding throughout the world.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

The somber atmosphere of the old military camp had not completely dissipated, but it had been infused with a brand-new, furnace-like atmosphere of cultivation.

Since Qin Zhan led three thousand soldiers of the Po Jun Camp to formally join the Tianyan Sect and enter the Divine Martial Hall, the entire camp has entered an unprecedented state of fervent cultivation.

On the training ground, three thousand soldiers, their heavy armor partially removed, were dressed in uniform training attire and sat cross-legged in a specific formation.

Meng Xihong stood on a tall stone in front of him, his voice not loud, but clear like a gentle stream, reaching the ears of every soldier as he expounded the profound meaning of the Body Forging Chapter of the Furnace Classic.

"The human body is like a furnace, which can melt and refine all things, and can also temper oneself."

Qi and blood are the fuel, willpower is the fire, drawing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to temper the skin and flesh, and forge muscles and bones.

Remember, when practicing this mental technique, you must visualize a furnace, using fire to burn yourself, removing the dross and retaining the essence.

Meng Xihong personally taught him without reservation.

below.

Led by Qin Zhan, the three thousand soldiers were all focused, like the thirstiest sponges, greedily absorbing this profound body-refining method.

They were already among the elite, one in a million, and having been tempered on the battlefield, their willpower and physical strength were far beyond that of ordinary sect disciples.

Having received a legitimate and profound body-refining inheritance, the speed at which he understands and masters it is astonishing.

In just a few days, the atmosphere on the training ground had changed dramatically.

"drink!"

"what!"

Shouts and cries filled the air, accompanied by the whooshing sound of fists and feet cutting through the air.

The soldiers practiced the basic boxing stances that accompanied the "Honglu Jing" (a classic text on boxing). Their movements might still be a little clumsy, but the pent-up masculine energy they were gathering was already like the rising sun, bursting forth with vigor.

Qin Zhan stood before the crowd, shirtless, his bronze skin steaming with heat, beads of sweat rolling down his face but instantly evaporating from the heat emanating from his body.

He closed his eyes and focused his mind, circulating his qi and blood according to the mental technique. He could clearly feel a scorching but not violent power, guided by the technique, seeping into his skin and muscles, bringing a strange feeling of numbness and comfort.

He had been training his physique regularly in the military, so his physical foundation was extremely solid. However, in the past, he relied more on talent and drugs to build up his strength, lacking systematic guidance. Much of his potential remained buried deep within him, untapped.

Now that he has truly begun to cultivate the "Furnace Scripture," he suddenly understands what the true path of body refinement is!

This is not simply an increase in strength, but a tempering of the life level, starting from the smallest details and comprehensively improving the strength of the physical body.

Resilience, strength, resilience, and even potential!

As he circulated his inner energy, he seemed to "see" an invisible furnace rising within his body.

The roaring fire gradually burned away the impurities and toxins that had accumulated deep within his flesh and blood, making his body purer and more transparent, and subtly enhancing his affinity with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

"So that's it! This is the true secret of body refinement!"

Qin Zhan opened his eyes, his gaze sharp and bright, and his admiration for Meng Xihong grew even stronger.

The opponent is not only incredibly powerful, but the techniques they teach also point directly to the foundation of the Great Dao, making them invaluable.

The three thousand soldiers of the Po Jun Camp were already in excellent condition, and now that they have obtained the most suitable training method, they are even more powerful, and their progress is so rapid that it is astonishing.

In less than a month.

On the training ground, the scene was quite different. Led by Qin Zhan, several hundred of the most talented and well-rounded soldiers were brimming with energy, their muscles bulging with a faint glow, and the wind pressure generated by their every move was noticeably stronger.

The second stage of the Body Tempering chapter of the "Furnace Classic," Flesh Refining! is complete!
With a flick of his arms, he possessed the strength of a thousand pounds – no exaggeration!

Such progress is truly remarkable!
The entire Divine Martial Hall headquarters was immersed in the fervor and joy of this rapid increase in strength. Meanwhile...

On the main peak of Tianyan Sect, there is a quiet courtyard.

Meng Yanqing packed her simple belongings and stood in the courtyard, a hint of melancholy and determination in her eyes.

His current body cultivation has been stuck at a bottleneck for some time after breaking through the Yi Jin realm, and no matter how hard he cultivates, he feels that he can hardly make any progress.

He knew that working in isolation was ultimately a bad idea; it was time to go out and see the world.

When Meng Yanqing arrived at the courtyard where her parents lived, she ran into Meng Xihong and Bai Muyun, who had just returned together.

"Father, mother."

Meng Yanqing bowed respectfully.

Bai Muyun looked at her eldest son, who was growing up day by day, her eyes filled with tenderness. She stepped forward and straightened his disheveled clothes, saying softly:

"Yan Qing, is something the matter?"

Meng Yanqing took a deep breath and announced his decision: "Father, Mother, I plan to go down the mountain to gain some experience."

Upon hearing this, a hint of worry flashed in Bai Muyun's eyes, and she subconsciously wanted to speak up to dissuade him.

The world outside the sect is vast but also dangerous; how could she let her son venture out alone?

But she swallowed the words back.

She could see the same determination and longing in her eldest son's eyes as her husband had when he was young.

A soft sigh escaped my lips.

As children grow up and become more independent, it's impossible to protect them under her wings forever. They must face the storms and trials on their own to truly grow up.

This family used to be supported by my husband.

But a husband can't last a lifetime.

Children will eventually grow up.

Bai Muyun finally whispered a word of advice: "The outside world is not like the sect. You must be careful in everything you do, avoid arguing with others easily, and think things through carefully before acting."

As they parted, even though Bai Muyun was usually very gentle, she couldn't help but nag like any other mother.

Meng Xihong looked at his eldest son, his gaze calm and profound.

He could sense the concentrated power of blood and qi within Meng Yanqing's body. Although it had encountered a bottleneck, its foundation was extremely solid.

With his current body-refining cultivation level in the "Furnace Scripture", as long as he doesn't actively provoke powerful enemies above the Foundation Establishment stage or venture into extremely dangerous places, he can protect himself more than enough while traveling in this region.

"Go if you want to."

Meng Xihong nodded, his voice steady.

"You must remember that the path of spiritual practice lies in action and in enlightenment."

"Mount Yaowang is a good choice. The outer area is perfect for your honing skills." Meng Xihong paused, then took out a jade talisman and a short knife from his storage bag and handed them to Meng Yanqing.

"This jade talisman can withstand a full-force attack from an early Foundation Establishment cultivator. This blade is a low-grade Xuan-rank, exceptionally sharp. Go, go see the land of Qingzhou, go feel the ever-changing winds and clouds of this world. Father awaits your triumphant return."

Meng Yanqing accepted the jade talisman and the short sword, feeling the power contained within them, his heart filled with boundless pride. He knew that his father hoped he could truly become independent and forge his own path in life.

"Your son will remember your teachings and will certainly live up to your expectations!"

He bowed again, then turned and left.

"I hope this child can return safely," Bai Muyun murmured softly, her eyes filled with worry.

Meng Xihong held his wife's hand and whispered, "He will come back, and he will be stronger."

[Daily Divination, Today's Hexagram: Moderately Auspicious! The eldest son travels far, his talents beginning to shine; in the Medicine King's secret realm, hidden opportunities lurk... Excellent fortune; Suitable actions: Go with the flow, patiently await the blossoming; Unsuitable actions: Excessive interference, adding unnecessary complications.]

A glint flashed in Meng Xihong's eyes. The Medicine King's Secret Realm? It seems that Yan Qing's trip is far more exciting than he imagined.

He chuckled softly, a hint of anticipation rising in his heart.

"Since the divination indicates this, let him go and try."
