Chapter 17 - 15 WeaponsEarly in the morning, Xu Qing woke up from his hardwood bed. In the last few days, due to the entry level of Crane Form, Xu Qing had been achieving deep sleep at night. Last night, he had an unusual dream—a "nightmare." It was not about the troubles he would encounter next, but that he woke up to find himself back to his "previous life." It was terrifying! In his past life, he was just an undying ordinary beast of burden. In this life, although there are current threats to survival, there are also endless possibilities. "Thankfully it was just a dream." Xu Qing let out a sigh of relief, then got up and left the cabin. Last night, after Li Gongpu came back from drinking, Zhou Family was briskly making him sobering soup, while Xu Qing's medicated meal had already been prepared, kept warm on the side. Now it is the late spring, a time when it's warming up but still cold. The Six Flavors Rehmannia Soup was perfect for drinking on an empty stomach in the morning and evening. Xu Qing finished off a full bowl of the medicated soup, which also had chicken stewed in it, and then devoured a bowl of yam porridge, feeling his Essence Qi brimming. "Auntie, your cooking skills are getting better and better." Zhou Family smiled: "You are all improving, and as a woman, I cannot lag behind and hold you back at home." Xu Qing: "Auntie, you have too many household chores to do by yourself right now. I was thinking, what if we buy a maid? What do you think?" Zhou Family: "Our yard is too small, and besides, our neighbors help us out on ordinary days, so it's not really exhausting. When we move to a bigger place later, I plan to take a concubine for your uncle." If Historian Li himself took a concubine, having another woman entering the house would pose some threat to Zhou Family. However, as the lady of the house, Zhou Family taking the initiative to find a concubine for her husband means that the life or death of the concubine would be at her discretion. Xu Qing smiled: "Auntie, if you have a place in mind, once I am done with the child student test, we will find an opportunity to move there." Zhou Family: "We still have many expenses now; we can rent a large courtyard nearby when the time comes." Xu Qing: "Don't worry, Auntie, we will buy one outright. As for the money, after the child student test is over, I will figure out a way." If one has connections and support, doing business in this era is very easy, especially since Xu Qing has a few business ideas suitable for this era in his mind. But now is not the time to get busy with these things, there's no need for Xu Qing to worry about it at the moment. Besides, women often cherish others painting a bright future for them. Especially those women Xu Qing encountered in his past life, most of their demands are probably only satisfiable by a swindler. A few words from Xu Qing made Zhou Family beam with joy. When Zhou Family is happy, she won't nag Xu Qing at home, allowing him to have a carefree day. ... ... Xu Qing still exercised in the yard as his daily routine. Today's regimen was different from the past; he tied a sandbag to each of his limbs. After achieving minor success with Crane Form, his limbs had become strong and his steps light. With the sandbags tied on, Xu Qing tried to practice Crane Form again and found the difficulty significantly increased. First was the lack of adaptation, secondly the change in center of gravity, and Xu Qing discovered that while Crane Form minor success mainly strengthened his limbs, his core strength saw far less improvement. Without a strong trunk, the advantages gained from stronger limbs would inevitably be partially wasted. "Although Crane Form also trains the trunk, it is not the main focus and lacks explosive power." Xu Qing, with a Divine Soul of the "breaking out of the shell" level, has a physical judgment not comparable to ordinary martial artists like Li Gongpu. The more he analyzed, the more he felt that in addition to its inherent incompleteness, Crane Form should have other accompanying exercises. In a strict sense, Crane Form is primarily about nourishing the body, fighting, and fleeing are just additional benefits after strengthening oneself. "No rush on this matter, let's first perfect Crane Form to the utmost extent." Xu Qing knew that his Crane Form was only at minor success, and there was much room for improvement. Moreover, he valued most the speed and agility enhanced by Crane Form. If faced with any disadvantageous situation, the ability to flee is of utmost importance. No matter how strong you are, how many people can you fight? In case the enemy uses crossbows and weapons, even with the hardest fists, it's all in vain. And later when he goes out, he'll definitely carry a bag of quicklime with him. Although it's an old trick, it's a classic and effective strategy. Eh. A strong ability to run and a bag of quicklime sounds rather like the character Wei Xiaobao. It's not his fault; it's the world's fault. Who would have thought he doesn't have the Six Meridian Divine Sword or the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms to learn. Soon, Xu Qing let go of distractions and concentrated on practicing Crane Form. After getting through the initial adaptation, his state of Absolute Focus naturally kicked in, significantly enhancing his Comprehension. During the practice, Xu Qing, using his own efforts, found details in Crane Form that could be adjusted at this stage. These details seem inconsequential, but they can improve the overall Cultivation effect. Over time, the impact is significant, and with the improved details, his movements became more comfortable and fluid. Even with sandbags tied to his limbs, he was still able to perform as standard and elegantly as before. Thus, it was evident that the strength of his limbs had increased a lot since before. After completing his Kung Fu practice, Xu Qing was drenched in satisfying sweat, and he used Guiding to drive the newfound heat into his limbs. This time, he was mindful to leave half of the heat in his torso to see what effect it would have later. He was not worried about the heat being wasted. Because he had consumed the medicated meal before practicing Kung Fu. After the heat emerged, it coincided with the digestion of the medicinal properties, so the amount was naturally more than usual. And the strengthening of the body still needed to be as balanced as possible. If the weak points are too weak, no matter how strong the strong points are, it will have a significant impact.
