Chapter 0031: Lion Spring Body Tempering

After the door closed, President Zhang smiled and said, "Qin Yun, you control your inner qi quite well!"

President Zhang was dressed in gray and looked like a small old man, but he was very powerful. It was difficult for Qin Yun's small trick with the spinning plate to escape his experienced eyes.

"President, I didn't break any rules, did I?" Qin Yun stuck out his tongue, somewhat worried that his second martial soul might be exposed.

"It doesn't count! Even if it did, I would still give you the Wind-Cleaving Technique," President Zhang laughed heartily. "You are indeed a rare genius, much better than the new Crown Prince! I was also planning to stop Wei Xuankun, but unexpectedly, you broke through. Truly surprising!"

Qin Yun expressed his gratitude, "Thank you for your concern, President!"

President Zhang stopped, turned around, and asked seriously, "How much do you know about your father?"

Qin Yun frowned immediately, "Father really suffered from a cultivation mishap?"

President Zhang looked surprised and suspicious, "Who told you that?"

"Qin Deren!" Qin Yun recounted his duel with Qin Deren to President Zhang.

Upon hearing this, President Zhang scolded sternly, "Prince Qin has always wanted to usurp the throne, which is why he was sent far away. You actually believe his son's lies. After all these years, haven't you grown up yet?"

Qin Yun didn't know what background President Zhang had, but he seemed to care about him.

He nodded and said softly, "I was careless. I will be more careful in the future."

President Zhang sighed deeply and continued walking, saying, "A few years ago, your father made a mistake while trying to break through to the Martial Realm and suffered a cultivation mishap. He is no longer in the palace; he is hiding somewhere to heal secretly. However, many of the old ministers in the Tian Qin Imperial Palace think he is finished, especially the Empress and her faction, who are eager to take over."

Qin Yun had previously blamed his father, but now knowing that his father faced significant difficulties and couldn't protect him, his feelings became very complex.

"Don't think too much about it now. Focus on improving your strength. There are many people loyal to the Empress at Hualing Martial Arts Academy, but as long as I am here, you don't need to fear them."

President Zhang walked to the end and opened a door carved with a golden lion, saying, "Go in. Inside is the Heavenly Lion Pool. Remember, if you can't handle it, come out immediately. Don't push yourself!"

The stone room housing the Heavenly Lion Pool was very simple, almost like a cave, contrasting sharply with the luxurious decorations outside.

It wasn't large, with white flames illuminating the walls brightly.

In the center was a square pool two meters wide, filled with blood-red water bubbling as if boiling!

"I'll wait outside," President Zhang patted Qin Yun's shoulder. "Remember, if you can't handle it, come out quickly."

Qin Yun nodded and entered with a mix of nervousness and excitement.

After the door closed, he quickly undressed and stepped into the mysterious Heavenly Lion Pool!

As soon as he entered, he let out a low groan from the heat, but when he circulated his inner qi throughout his body, he felt nothing!

"What exactly is this Heavenly Lion Pool?" Qin Yun scooped up some red water with his hand but couldn't discern anything special.

Suddenly, he felt a surge of intense heat rapidly entering his body, penetrating deep into his bones and flesh, an incredible sensation!

"My teacher mentioned before that while in the Heavenly Lion Pool, I should try to open all my meridians!" He immediately closed his eyes, relaxed his entire body, and allowed the scorching energy to flow within him.

Inside the human body, there are numerous meridians, channels through which inner qi flows. However, many meridians can become blocked for various reasons.

Under normal circumstances, these blockages are hard to detect and seem to have little impact. But to allow inner qi to circulate quickly throughout the body, all meridians must be unblocked.

Unblocking all meridians allows inner qi to spread rapidly throughout the body, nourishing muscles and bones, strengthening the physique, and fortifying the soul!

In the later stages of the Martial Body Realm, the most important aspect is physical training.

Only a sufficiently strong physical body can bear the power of the Great Dao and enter the Martial Realm!

Therefore, in the later stages of Martial Body training, one gradually realizes that blocked meridians hinder the development of a perfect physical body, significantly impacting entry into the Martial Realm. Attempting to forcibly unblock them at that point can damage the meridians, making it too late.

"It's not painful, and it feels very comfortable!" Qin Yun felt as if he were soaking in warm water, experiencing none of the legendary pains.

The warm current entering his body quickly spread throughout, flowing through every part. This warm stimulation was the most comfortable experience he had ever had!

"If I continue like this, I'm sure I can unblock all my meridians!" He could clearly feel his muscles being nourished and tempered, especially his blood and qi.

Runes Masters have extremely high requirements for their physical bodies.

From books, he learned that when carving runes, one needs sufficient blood qi, spiritual power, and inner qi. These three elements combine to form blood soul power, which is then condensed onto the carving knife to engrave the runes.

If creating runes with attributes, various martial soul powers must also be integrated, making the process very complex.

"With the speed of my inner essence's rotation, I should be able to condense inner qi. Once I leave, I'll start learning Runes Mastery," Qin Yun had already planned his next steps.

Although he possessed the Nine Yang Divine Soul, he still lacked resources. Moreover, having two martial souls meant he needed to nurture two inner essences, requiring even more resources.

...

President Zhang waited outside the stone door, and after a day passed without Qin Yun emerging, he grew increasingly anxious.

According to his expectations, Qin Yun should have emerged by now.

He could only continue waiting, unwilling to entrust anyone else with the task.

Days passed in the blink of an eye...

"Seven days already!" President Zhang exclaimed in shock outside the door. "Others can only stay in the Heavenly Lion Pool for two or three days at most. Qin Yun has been in there for seven days without coming out. What a strange fellow!"

Every day, he released his spiritual power to check Qin Yun's vibrant life force, otherwise, he would have rushed in.

"President, Teacher Yang is here again!" An elderly man in black entered and said, "She is very anxious and wants to see you!"

President Zhang's eyes lit up, "Let her in!"

"Yes!" The old man in black left and soon brought Yang Shiyue in, then retreated.

"President Zhang, is Qin Yun still inside?" Yang Shiyue asked with a frown, having been very worried over these past seven days.

President Zhang nodded and said, "Teacher Yang, Qin Yun’s condition is good; his life force is vigorous. You don’t need to worry about him. Your arrival is timely; please wait here for him to come out while I attend to other matters!"

"Alright!" Yang Shiyue also used her mental energy to investigate and indeed sensed Qin Yun’s robust life force, immediately feeling relieved.

President Zhang was very confident in Yang Shiyue and left with peace of mind to handle his own affairs.
