Looking at the eight swords floating in the air, Li Ling wondered, "Could the swords have gained some kind of spirit?"
Yi Yun continued, "After our ancestors created the Five Elements Cultivation Technique and the Yin-Yang Two Qi Technique, they felt that the human body's own accumulation of internal energy was always too slow, so they thought of using the great power of heaven and earth."
Therefore, we searched for rare treasures to forge these swords rich in attributes. When the successors of my Famous Sword Manor are near these eight swords while practicing their techniques, it accelerates the accumulation of their internal energy.
Li Ling asked in confusion, "Then why did Grandpa wait until my internal strength reached the second-rate level before bringing me to this secret room?"
Yi Yun sighed and said, "Because the materials used to forge these eight swords are too precious, the sword energy emitted by the swords after they are made is too strong. If one's internal strength is insufficient, getting close to the swords will only result in being injured by this strong sword energy."
Li Ling nodded in understanding. He remembered that the original drama had mentioned that one should not approach the swords if one's skill was insufficient. Qin Sirong was almost injured by the sword energy when she was looking at these eight swords.
Yi Yun continued, "Now, Feng'er, your internal strength has already achieved some success. As long as you don't touch these eight swords, you can accelerate the enhancement of your internal strength by cultivating around the swords."
As he spoke, Yi Yun maneuvered his wheelchair to the stone platform. He pressed an inconspicuous protrusion under the platform, and a drawer made from a hollowed-out stone protruded from it. When closed, the drawer fit perfectly with the stone platform and was completely unnoticed.
Li Ling stepped forward to look at the drawer, which contained several thread-bound books. Yi Yun took out the books and scattered them on the stone platform.
The books were four in total: "Five Elements Cultivation Technique", "Yin Yang Two Qi Technique", "Ten Forms of Heavenly Sword" and "Eight Forms of Famous Sword".
Yi Yun handed the "Ten Forms of Heavenly Sword" and the "Yin Yang Two Qi Technique" to Li Ling and instructed him: "Feng'er, these secret manuals are the foundation of our Famous Sword Manor. Remember not to pass them on to outsiders."
You must practice in this secret chamber. After each practice session, return the manual to the stone platform. Remember, the manual must not be taken out of the room.
Li Ling carefully put away the two manuals and said solemnly, "Grandson will remember Grandpa's instructions."
Seeing Li Ling's solemn expression, Yi Yun nodded in satisfaction. Then he carefully put away the "Five Elements Nourishing Yuan Technique" and the "Eight Styles of Famous Swords" and placed them back in the drawer of the stone platform. He closed the mechanism, and the drawer returned to its original place, fitting perfectly with the entire stone platform.
Then Yi Yun explained to Li Ling the workings of the sword-hiding room and the entire secret passage, including the mechanism of the stone platform, which Li Ling memorized.
After Li Ling memorized how to use the mechanism, Yi Yun nodded in satisfaction and then had Li Ling escort him out of the secret room.
After sending his grandfather back, Li Ling put his old sword back into the sword storage room, and then selected a favorite sword called "Azure Water Sword" from the seventy-two swords in the secret room before returning to the secret room.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Li Ling opened the manual "Yin Yang Two Qi Techniques" and memorized its contents. This manual trains the body's Yin and Yang energies by stimulating the eight extraordinary meridians and other organs.
As for the "Five Elements Nourishing Qi Exercise", it trains the body's five elements by stimulating the twelve meridians and the five internal organs.
Li Ling would not give up the "Dragon Roar Iron Shirt" he originally practiced. Moreover, all the meridians in his body were already connected, including the twelve regular meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians. In theory, he had already accumulated the five elements and yin and yang energies to perfection. However, Li Ling still decided to practice the "Dragon Roar Iron Shirt" and the "Yin and Yang Two Qi Technique" together.
After all, Yi Jifeng had been cultivating the Five Elements Nourishing Yuan Technique for so many years. After the system seal was lifted, Li Ling discovered that his internal organs were much stronger than when he had cultivated the Dragon Roar Iron Shirt Technique alone.
This result is not surprising. After all, the main purpose of "Dragon's Roar Iron Shirt" is to cultivate the external body and protective qi, and its effect on the internal organs is much less. This proves that "Five Elements Nourishing Qi Gong" has its own unique effects.
Moreover, the "Dragon's Roar Iron Shirt" technique can only allow one to cultivate to the Innate Realm and generate protective qi, while the ancestor who created the "Five Elements Nourishing Yuan Technique" and the "Yin Yang Two Qi Technique" ultimately reached the Innate Grandmaster Realm.
A Grandmaster of the Innate Realm is two levels higher than the Innate Realm. Therefore, Li Ling plans to cultivate both techniques simultaneously.
Other martial artists who cultivate two techniques might experience slower progress, but Li Ling isn't afraid of that. He's a man with a cheat code; the Qiankun World constantly replenishes his energy, plus...
Li Ling sat cross-legged three meters away from the eight swords, feeling the internal energy of the "Five Elements Nourishing Yuan Technique" originally cultivated by Yi Jifeng gradually increase under the nourishment of the sword energy, and couldn't help but smile slightly.
With the nourishment of the world's original elixir and the sword energy of the precious sword, Li Ling believed he would soon accumulate enough internal energy to return to the innate state. (Wish Star of All Heavens and Myriad Realms)

Chapter 149 Weapons are an extension of the body
Mingjian Manor is located near a continuous mountain range and is built against the mountain.
Because of its proximity to the mountains, rocks occasionally fall from the mountains during heavy rains and strong winds. For safety reasons, the ancestors of Mingjian Manor built a row of large trees on the side closest to the mountains. After hundreds of years of growth, it has become a dense forest.
Even if there were rolling stones, they would be easily stopped by rows of tall trees.
At this moment, in the woods, there was a young man dressed in a light blue training uniform, holding a sharp sword with a green hilt. Li Ling stood tall, holding the Bishui Sword horizontally in his right hand.
"Hoo." He gripped the hilt of the longsword with his right hand and held it horizontally in front of him.
Li Ling closed his eyes and stood there motionless.
"Dashan, what do you think Feng'er is doing?" Not far away, Yi Yun, sitting in a wheelchair, was quietly watching. Behind Yi Yun was a middle-aged man in a gray long robe, whose name was Guan Shan.
As a major force in the martial arts world, Mingjian Manor has declined but still maintains its own family power. This middle-aged man is one of the three leaders of Mingjian Manor's guards. They were all orphans adopted by Mingjian Manor from a young age and raised there. They belong to Mingjian Manor for life.
The middle-aged man, Guan Shan, said, "Old Master, I also don't understand what the young master is doing, holding a long sword and standing still."
“Holding a long sword like that takes a lot of effort. Although Feng’er’s internal strength has reached the second-rate level in the martial arts world, in my opinion, she can probably only last for a quarter of an hour at most before the end of the long sword droops,” Yi Yun commented.
Having spent most of his life honing his swordsmanship, Yi Yun certainly has the right to speak on the subject.
Half an hour passed... and Li Ling remained motionless.
An hour passed... and Li Ling remained motionless.
"How is that possible?"
After a full hour, Yi Yun and Guan Shan, who had already patrolled the villa, returned to find Li Ling still motionless, which surprised them.
“Let’s go take a look,” Yi Yun said, and Guan Shan pushed Yi Yun to Li Ling’s side.
Li Ling stood quietly with his eyes closed, but strangely... his body bones were emitting a very faint humming sound.
Suddenly, Li Ling's ears twitched. He sheathed his longsword, turned to look at the newcomers, and said with a smile, "Grandpa, Uncle Guan, what brings you here?"
"Feng'er, what are you practicing now?" Yi Yun asked in confusion.
"Young Master, what's the point of you holding that long sword?" Guan Shan didn't understand either.
