After hearing the numerous disciples shout, both Zhang Han and w.a.n.g Qing looked up and saw a large and robust man appear wearing a long robe. He had his hair down and had amiable eyes, but he also seemed kind of sloppy, as if he was a type of beggar wandering on the streets.
But presently, all the people there, including w.a.n.g Qing and Zhang Han, did not dare to make a noise.
“Having a fight right outside the Elder’s hall, are you trying to distract the disciples and elders? What will come next!” His gaze moved slowly over all of the disciples and then stopped on w.a.n.g Qing.
w.a.n.g Qing’s faced changed. Before Elder Liu had interrupted and stopped the fight, he was fully on the offensive. And because he stopped halfway, he had developed internal injuries! But now he had no choice but to mask his indignation, and he concealed it extremely well. He cupped his hands, salutes, and said, “Elder, this disciple did not incite this fight. In truth, Junior Brother Zhang Han struck first. He had wanted to kill us, and if I hadn’t resisted, Junior Brother Zhang Han would have used his sword and killed us. Elder, please judge the matter.” [TL Note: He said something like “get pay back for us” but that didn’t feel too right.]
”Oh? Is this true?” Elder Liu turned. “Zhang Zhen?” [TL Note: Don’t know if Zhang Han or someone else.]
Elder Liu continued to look around, and pinned them to the area with his gaze. Just as Zhang Zhen was about to speak, when the lump in Ye Sheng’s dantian s.h.i.+ned and suddenly he drew attention to himself. “Hm?” Elder Liu turned to that direction, when w.a.n.g Qing jumped up and said, “Elder Liu, this Junior Brother Zhou Tong brought this young disciple, and just know he almost met his end at Junior Brother Zhang’s evil scheme.”
”w.a.n.g Qing… you!” Zhang Zhen groaned, and clenched his teeth in anger, still not daring to say anything aloud.
w.a.n.g Qing looked cheekily at Elder Liu and immediately said, “This Junior Brother outside the sect started to awaken his Qi. He had seen Ancestor Zu’s carving, so it should be okay to call him an Inner Sect disciple. Please, accept him.”
”What did you say?” Elder Liu’s eyes were open with shock. “You’re saying that, outside the door, he actually noticed Ancestor Zu’s sword technique?”
“Yes.” w.a.n.g Qing bowed, but his face had an odd color to it. Sword technique?
But at that moment, Ye Sheng couldn’t even hear any sounds outside, in fact, he almost lost his consciousness.
On his chest, the pot began to emit and release specks of light, those specks of light started to converge and cover his meridan channels. It traveled through his bloodstream and even flowed into his dantian! What was this? Ye Sheng was amazed and shocked with what was going on inside of his body. In the stillness around him, he started to inspect his dantian.
Was this the so called Ling Qi? His chest started to warm up, and he had recalled what his master had said. He did not know why this Ling Qi was released from the chest. What could it be? Was his master a cultivator? But at the moment he wasn’t thinking about those things, the white lights that were in his blood started to fuse with his body. Suddenly, the white ma.s.s in his dantian that the old man he had seen earlier had left behind started to strike together! At the sound of the collision, Ye Sheng started to feel his blood flow backwards, causing pain to explode all over his body. Inside his dantian, there was a rumbling noise!
This was h.e.l.l! Ye Sheng clenched his teeth tightly and started to moan with a high pitch, and, out of the corner of his mouth, blood spilled out!
“This is top grade Ling Qi! His body can’t take it!” Elder Liu’s complexion changed instantly and he flashed over to Ye Sheng’s side and touched his meridians. “With this low level of meridians, how could he survive the force of this Ling Qi!”
Elder Liu clenched his teeth and formed a symbol with his hand, condensed a long strip of Ling Qi, and forced it into Ye Sheng’s body!
Ye Sheng only felt himself rising and filling like a balloon, and then his organs started to rupture! “What kind of circ.u.mstances are these? Can it be? Those three large characters that the old man had set up are trying to kill me?”
He was about to explode, when suddenly cold Qi in the shape of a dragon began to pour in from the outside and started to jolt around inside of his meridian channels. “What the h.e.l.l! Get out of my body!” Ye Sheng madly shouted at the dragon form Ling Qi inside of his body. Unfortunately, Ling Qi doesn’t and can’t understand language. Elder Liu swept up the damaged Ling Qi in Ye Sheng’s meridians and confined everything in his belly. And then he patiently waited for Ye Sheng’s Dantian to relax.
“This…” Ye Sheng was bewildered. The Ling Qi in his body was gone and had dissipated. But the long dragon-shaped being made of Ling Qi was still there, and then it aimed for Ye Sheng’s dantian and started pawing the ground. “Ah! This thing wants to kill me! Quickly get out of here!”
Ye Sheng didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry, because, in the end, what had saved him was no going to kill him.
”Who is this person? He doesn’t have any power fluctuations, so why Elder Liu is taking an interest in him?” The crowd had taken notice of what the elder was doing and gathered around, and at the moment all of them were confused.
”This person…” Those with good eyes couldn’t help but shout out. “Could it be? He is doing Na Ling?”
”Na Ling!” All of the disciples around were stunned and watched with rapt attention.
“That’s right! He’s undergoing Na Ling!”
”This fellow’s innate ability must be high. I remember Senior Brother Lin Qing had gone through this procedure when entering the sect. Didn’t he also undergo Na Ling?
”Didn’t expect this person to have this kind of skill…”
Zhang Han heard the other people and couldn’t help but get nervous. For him to achieve this kind of talent would be impossible, especially Na Ling. Not only did Ye Sheng have extraordinary talent but he also had good fortune! To cultivate, one must not only have good ability but good fortune… but he, Zhang Han didn’t expect this! This child couldn’t stay alive. He had to get rid of him! But then he felt w.a.n.g Qing looking at him smiling but not smiling, so he couldn’t not show his anger. [TL Note: Smiling but not smiling is an idiom, not really smiling but more like staring/glaring]
”I’ve heard that many people, when they undergo Na Ling, would not survive and instead explode. Since he hasn’t gone through the baptism yet, he has a better chance of dying.” Zhang Han’s mind was filled with such intentions but he could do nothing but wait.
Not only that, but Elder Liu was waiting by the boy attentively and was listening to Ye Sheng’s furious curses. He thought that the boy was exceptionally funny.
When it seemed like the dragon of Ling Qi was almost at Ye Sheng’s dantian, Elder Liu’s face became serious and quickly made a hand sign and shouted, “Stop!”
Ye Sheng had already closed his eyes and was waiting for his destruction. He did not expect the dragon to not explode before it reached his dantian, thus avoiding a disastrous conclusion. “Ah?” He opened his eyes and noticed that the Ling Qi dragon stopped right outside his dantian merely, an inch away.
What was going on? Ye Sheng was scared witless. The feeling that it could explode at anytime certainly made him nervous.
Elder Liu continued to make changing hand signs. “Concentrate!” The dragon appeared to curl around Ye Sheng’s dantian. From Ye Sheng’s perspective, it began to change into a squirming ma.s.s of Ling Qi. And then it turned into a liquid form and was incessantly changing.
“What the h.e.l.l is this?” Ye Sheng said inquisitively, and he was once again afraid when it started to change again and again, and he was starting to lose focus.
Elder Liu’s hand made the signal one more time by Ye Sheng’s dantian and increased the Ling Qi by three levels. “Give me concentration!”
Ye Sheng was inquisitive when he saw the Qi increase come into his body. And when he felt the small ball of energy fuse into his body, he was filled with energy, which surged far beyond his control. “Focus, focus, focus!” Ye Sheng heard Elder Liu chant.
He saw the elder’s energy ball driving downwards, slowly compress to the liquid, and coagulate.
“Guard your mind and sit down!” Elder Liu then entered his mind and pa.s.sed on his spiritual knowledge to Ye Sheng. “Listen to me and memorize this chant!”
“When the natural law of heaven began, the clouds and the seas were boundless, then the clouds split to see the moon, and the oceans were split by the mountains.”
Ye Sheng was going to ask the person a question, but didn’t expect him to so quickly launch into a chant. But he immediately realized the urgent emergency his body was in and frantically listened. If it was under any other circ.u.mstances, he would not have acted as urgently.
He showed his determination and clenched his teeth, and restrained himself as wave after wave of pain stabbed into his dantian. He sat cross-legged and straight up and read the chant.
“When the natural law of heaven began, the clouds and the seas were boundless, then the clouds split to see the moon, and the oceans were split by the mountains.”
After chanting out three then four times, the Ling Qi stretched and condensed outside of his dantian and emerged much like a child sticking its head out of a window and looking around. Coiling around his body through his meridians, it began to revolve. The light in his stomach started to slowly weaken and dissolve.
Feeling the pain in his dantian subside, Ye Sheng couldn’t help but feel relieved. He accelerated the rate at which he chanted and the Ling Qi in his Dantian began to steadily flow out. It appeared that the Ling Qi in his meridians that once threatened to rip him apart would instead restore his body, he felt the impurities in his body began to drain away. Ye Sheng started to feel comfortable and almost let out a sigh in relief.
The Ling Qi in his body began to rotate in a circle throughout his body and opened up his meridians. At this point, Ye Sheng finally woke up from his spellbound state. He started to move, wanting to push his Ling Qi through his body even further, when he heard a voice. “Stop! Don’t be too greedy! Your foundation is already strong, and your talent is even higher!” Ye Sheng s.h.i.+vered and was roused by the voice. And once more he heard the voice shout out, “Good! Now guard your dantian, and guide your Ling Qi to its proper place so that it starts to whirlpool and create a vortex!” [TL Note: I believe this is similar to BTTH system if you can’t visualize it. Or didn’t get it.]
Ye Sheng listened to these words and murmured the chant one more time. The Ling Qi in his dantian arrived at one point and began to spin.
Only now did Elder Liu heave a sigh of relief, and wiped his beads of sweat.
“Did he succeed?” Zhang Han rigidly watched Ye Sheng sitting cross-legged on the ground, yet to open his eyes, [TL Note: The eye opening before was inside of his dream state so he never actually woke up yet.
“Did they succeed?” All of the disciples stood around in a circle and exclaimed, “Look at Elder Liu’s expression… there’s nothing wrong?”
“Don’t tell me he became like Senior Brother Ouyang and Lin Qing? If that’s the case, since this year, there would be three people that have achieved Na Ling on their own?”
The word spread and pa.s.sed by Zhang Han’s ear and he felt more and more anxious.
However, w.a.n.g Qing, unlike Zhang Han, was smiling from ear to ear. He faced Elder Liu and bowed. “Congratulations, Elder. Our Inner Sect has just increased by one extremely talented person.”
These words startled everyone.
“It was unexpectedly a success?”
Elder Liu smiled and looked at w.a.n.g Qing and then glanced around, taking in all of the people around him. He looked at the group and then shouted, “Noisy!
“Don’t all of you still have to practice? Why are you still talking here?”
As the elder’s gaze swept the room all the people felt cold, and s.h.i.+vered. All of them immediately bowed and fled
Zhang Han’s face changed and then he said, “Elder Liu! This one also takes his leave!”
After he said this, he left. But, on the ground, Ye Sheng finally opened his eyes.
”Senior Brother Zhang tried to murder me. How am I supposed to let him off easily? Could it be that he thinks I am easy to bully? Senior w.a.n.g Qing, Elder Liu, can it be that you will let him get away with this?”
