After leaving Qingxin Palace Hall, Ren Baqian returned to Pingle Park.
When he came back, he found out the name of this courtyard after asking around.
After entering the house, he closed the door and opened the windows. Then, he sat in front of the table and placed a thick book made of animal hide on the table. He was a little excited.
After all, this was a martial arts manual from this world, and it should be of a very high grade. Otherwise, it wouldn't be placed on the second floor. This wasn't the Ten Palms of the Subduing Dragon that could be found in a street stall.
He didn't know what kind of leather the book was made of. It gave off a feeling that it was very old and had experienced many years. However, the book wasn't damaged or even worn out.
Ren Baqian carefully opened the book. On the first page, there was a drawing of a lake. Some of the surrounding corners could be seen as land, as well as some scattered weeds and trees.
Although it was just a few strokes, the charm was completely outlined. It was as if a gust of water vapor was blowing against his face.
There was a line of small words below. However, after looking at it for a long time, Ren Baqian could only recognize one word. If he didn't guess wrongly, it should be water.
After all, there were many similarities between hieroglyphs.
However, he was at a loss for the other words. Every word was like a drawing.
The empress didn't ask about his progress, and he had forgotten about it.
"Seems like I still have to learn how to read. At least I have to find someone to translate this book. " Ren Baqian pondered and flipped a few pages. On the second page, there were many small words. On the third page, there was a forest. On the fourth page, there were many more small words.
Ren Baqian continued to flip to the next page. It was a page of pictures and a page of words. There were a total of nine pictures. After the eighteenth page, there were five or six pages full of words. The last page was another picture.
Forget it, I can't understand anything. If I can learn it just by looking at pictures, then it's simply a joke.
Ren Baqian carried the book and went to Qingxin Palace Hall.
This [Ruyi Visualization] shouldn't be a problem for Lin Qiaole to read, but not for other people. Therefore, he still had to look for that girl who was always sleeping.
With the token that the empress threw at him that day, he wouldn't be affected by most places in the palace as long as he didn't get lost.
Occasionally, he would meet maids along the way. They would look at Ren Baqian curiously before quickly leaving.
After all, this was the first time they encountered such a situation. They didn't know what to do and could only keep a distance.
When he opened the door of Qingxin Palace Hall, Lin Qiaole was still dozing off and her face was plastered on the table.
Apart from the few days when Ren Baqian was learning how to read, she would sleep for at least 20 hours out of the 24 hours a day. It was to be expected that she would be like this.
Ren Baqian knocked on the table a few times to wake her up. When she realized it was Ren Baqian, she immediately yawned again. With an unhappy look on her face, she asked, "What are you doing here again?"
"School," Ren said, "Lin Baqian of Lin of Palace Hall." Ren has School. is.. "Lin" is., Lin.
"You've been missing for so many days, and I've only dared to eat two pieces a day. If you hadn't come back, I would have gone looking for you."
Lin Qiaole was rather happy to receive sweets and do things for him. She didn't even sleep and continued to translate for him until evening.
After three days of running around Qingxin Palace Hall, Ren Baqian finally understood the [Ruyi Visualization].
In this technique, the human body was divided into five elements. Therefore, one could enter the ethereal realm by using one of the five elements. The first five pictures were a lake, a mountain, a forest, a flame, and a sword.
Then, one could observe one's body in the ethereal realm, master one of the five elements, and complete this meridian.
This was only the entry level.
Mastering the five elements meant mastering all the mysteries of the body. Then, one could reach the peak of the Man Wheel level and step into the Earth Wheel level.
After that, one could continue to cultivate by visualizing a deity called Mother Earth. Then, one could sense the earth meridian and reach the peak of the Earth Wheel level.
It could be said that the most difficult part of this technique was the entry level. As long as one could enter the entry level, one would be able to reach the Earth Embryo level.
There were two disadvantages to this technique. One of them was that this technique was different from most other techniques in the world. Other techniques focused on the external to the internal or both at the same time. This technique focused on the internal to the external. During cultivation, a large number of medicinal herbs were required to complete the five elements, thereby transforming one's body.
The variety of rare medicinal herbs required to practice this technique wasn't insignificant. At the same level, the various resources consumed were more than ten times that of others.
The second disadvantage was that a normal technique would transform one's blood essence into qi. There was qi in one's body, but this technique was completely different. It didn't have the means to transform blood essence into qi. It seemed to be specialized in transforming and strengthening one's body.
The third disadvantage was that the actual combat ability of this technique was completely trash. Other than allowing one's body to reach the Earth Wheel level, there was almost no actual combat ability. Even at the Earth Wheel level, one could only rely on one's body to suppress a Man Wheel practitioner. It could be said that one was the weakest among those at the same level.
Furthermore, because there was no qi, even if he learned other techniques, he wouldn't be able to execute them.
When Ren Baqian first found out about this characteristic, he thought that practicing this technique would allow him to become as strong as the aboriginals. However, Lin Qiaole's words dispelled his thoughts. This was because the aboriginals actually stimulated and unearthed the power of their bloodlines to achieve breakthroughs in their bodies.
It could be said that this technique was completely different from the current techniques. It was completely unconventional.
As for the techniques after the Earth Embryo Realm, according to the description, it was on the last diagram, which was also a visualization diagram. The diagram depicted a ferocious-looking man with 18 arms. Ren Baqian couldn't tell what the Earth Embryo Realm would be like. He reckoned that he would only know after cultivating to that stage and visualizing that diagram.
According to Lin Qiaole's reply to Librarian Lin, this [Ruyi Visualization] was found in the library of the Hao Nation's royal family. Even in the Hao Nation, no one had practiced this technique before.
It was difficult to get started with this technique. Not only did it consume a lot of energy, but one would also be the weakest among those at the same level and could only rely on one's physical strength to bully others. What was the point of practicing this technique?
After all, those who could enter the Hao Nation's library would not lack techniques.
"Do you still want to practice this?" Lin Qiaole asked casually as she ate her candy.
Ren Baqian was a little hesitant. These few days, he more or less understood some things from Lin Qiaole's words. Martial arts weren't cabbages, it wasn't like choosing a major in a university, and it wasn't something that could be changed after a few years of practice.
For other martial arts, if one reached a certain level, such as attaining the Earth Wheel level, one could change to a compatible martial art. However, this [Ruyi Visualization] was different. It was different from all the other martial arts. Even if one wanted to change it, one couldn't.
If he chose it, he would have to walk on this path until the end. As for what would happen after the pinnacle of the Earth Wheel level, no one knew. It was completely unknown.
If he didn't choose this technique, he would have to practice Great Pan Boxing first. Then, he would have to wait for the empress to find another martial art for him.
One could imagine the difficulty of this task. There were so many books in the entire Qingxin Palace Hall. After inheriting the original library of the Hao Nation, there were still many books that were added later on. Yet, only two books were suitable for him.
If he were to search elsewhere, would he be able to find a suitable one in a short period of time? And in the process of searching, how big of a storm would he create? Even if the empress was willing, he didn't dare to let her do this.
With this thought, Ren Baqian felt that he had no other choice. He could only choose this [Ruyi Visualization] and walk on this path until the end.
The prerequisite was that he could get started with it.
As for combat power, he simply didn't consider it at all. He wasn't going to fight for no reason. If he was weaker than others, then so be it. At the very least, he would be stronger than his current self.
Furthermore, there were rifles, grenades, RPGs, and all kinds of lethal weapons on Earth.
