Chapter 101: Connecting Heaven and Earth
The key step to any Qi Cultivation Art was circulating qi along a specific route through the meridians. Sage hadnt quite figured out how or why, but the meridians were pretty mystical in nature and by following different pathways in the body it would transform the energy in a different manner. So far Sage saw it as a sort of chemical mixing procedure. Each of the meridian channels seemed to do something a little bit different, just like heating, agitating, or distilling might affect the mixing of different chemicals. Hmm I wonder if theres a way to study the effects of each meridian?
Putting aside his errant thought, Sage pushed his qi along the pathways described in the Connecting Heaven and Earth technique. With each slow revolution along the path the energy started to transform. The drops of liquid qi kept their green color, since his previous and current technique were both wood natured, but the qualities of the qi started to shift. Sage couldnt quite tell just how it was different, but it just felt more solid. After the lesson from that old man, Sage knew the Verdant Firebrand he had practiced had severe deficiencies, so he could only assume the new qi was getting rid of those weaknesses.
Drop by drop the qi in his body was slowly transformed. Over the next few days, Sage finally finished transforming the entirety of his qi and he felt much stronger. When he realized he didnt even have a good Qi Technique to test it out, it made him embarrassed at his deficiencies. The only purely offensive Qi Techniques he had were of random elements that he had picked up while working as a caravan guard long ago and things he hadnt practiced in decades. Right now he only had supporting techniques and Divine Breath. Divine Breath was very useful and powerful, but after a few tests he found there wasnt much of a difference from before.
Just like I thought, Divine Breath is more about the changes to the body and the compression technique the qi used to power it is not as important.
Giving up on testing he just assumed he had improved and moved on to the next step in training. Connecting Heaven and Earth was pretty normal in the methods for storing and using qi, but its speciality was drawing it in. His task now was to perfect the method, which surprisingly was focused on the aura. He had to learn how to forge his aura into thick roots and sink them down into the ground. Thankfully, the methods were explained in detail in the manual so Sage only had to follow along with the teachings and he would continue to make progress. Just like the roots of a tree drink in water and nutrients, the aura roots seek out and collect the energy of the earth.
Such a good Seal, it seems tailor made for me, but Im sure others have had this problem in the past. Hmm, reminds me of a certain mermaid and puppet.
With the complete overhaul of his fighting techniques, Sage finally felt it was time to start the next step of his path to greatness. Making money! Well spirit stones and contribution points. The only downside is it would take even more time spent on research and development. Its too late to start caring about time now, I already gave up on that race a long time ago!
Sage could only think of the parable of the tortoise and the hare. Slow and steady wins the race.
Hmm what would happen if the snake was in that race? Hed probably be waiting halfway down the track and swallow the sleeping hare before ambushing the turtle with a poisonous bite.
He put aside these ridiculous thoughts as he walked into the Blacksmiths Hall.
