Chapter 3 Cultivating Life Breath (Part 1)

  It is unknown what kind of treatment Qin Yifan received from the master, but when he returned to his hometown, he seemed like a completely different person. The extremely aggressive temperament that had been cultivated in the army had disappeared, replaced by a gentle expression. A warm smile was always on his face, and anyone who saw him would never believe that he was an excellent soldier who had just returned from the battlefield less than a year ago.

  The old house was a place where no one else lived except for Qin Yifan. However, on the official road on the other side of the mountain, it was still possible to catch glimpses of a few people from time to time. For some reason, Qin Yifan had set up a shed by the side of the official road and sold tea and wild game during hot weather, while in cold weather, he would surround the shed with grass curtains, light a fire inside, and sell wild game and liquor. This business, combined with the fact that Qin Yifan was alone, made his life quite enjoyable. With the wild game he hunted himself and the liquor he sold, every day was filled with meat and wine, and life was full of joy.

  No one here would care what a small boss selling tea on the street does when business is bad, and Qin Yifan certainly wouldn't tell others what he's doing.

  Perhaps, in the eyes of a thoughtful person, when there is no business, this little boss sits alone on a nearby mountain top, staring blankly in one direction, wondering what he is thinking. The place and action where he is located are easy to mislead people into thinking that they are looking around the mountain top to see if there are any distant customers coming, and no one will think there is anything strange about it.

  This small tea shed, just so lonely on the official road. The merchants who came and went were also more convenient because of this small tea shed in a place where there was no village above or below, and even stayed overnight here. Of course, the owner's family is not there, and there is nothing worth stealing in this simple tea shed.

  No one knows that this amiable and gentle-looking young man is actually a top-notch master. Or, to put it another way, he was once the top master of the military. As for his current strength, apart from himself, I believe no one can guess clearly.

  If there are people who know Qin Yifan here, they will also feel very strange. In the past, Qin Yifan was one of the most diligent people in the army, and his daily rest time was almost half that of a normal person. Except for combat missions and some things that had to be done every day, he was basically cultivating all the time. But now, even if you follow him around for a whole day, you won't have much chance to see him cultivate.

  It seems that after Qin Yifan recovered from his injuries, he became an ordinary person, without any hint of the aura that was cultivated within the military. No one knew what kind of treatment he had received, and no one knew what Master Wuming had discussed with him, it was a truly astonishing change.

  A peaceful life, without a hint of the Jianghu flavor, and no one would consider this place as a must-contend stronghold on the Jianghu. To be honest, there are neither people nor money here, even those ruthless Jianghu people who lick blood off their knives wouldn't easily come to this godforsaken place where not even birds lay eggs.

  Qin Yifan was making progress in his plan, which no one could see, in this peaceful environment. Every day, sitting at the top of the mountain was not just ordinary meditation, but silently recovering his previous cultivation. However, unlike before, that low-level quick-fix method circulating within the military was no longer his focus.

  Instead, it was a new skill that Qin Yifan had spent several months improving upon the foundation of that original skill. Having already experienced once the extreme practice of that simple skill, and coming back to it again, naturally many more experiences and lessons were gained. With Master's simple pointers on the side, the shortcomings and weaknesses of that skill became very apparent.

  Synthesizing these experiences and lessons, the most important thing is that, combined with Qin Yifan's own physical characteristics, the reformed kung fu method is even more seamless in coordination with Qin Yifan. Although in the eyes of those famous martial arts schools and sects, such a kung fu method is really too simple to be any simpler, but for Qin Yifan, there is no such problem at all. Any kung fu method, as long as it is the most suitable for oneself, is the best, isn't it?

  The master's words may have affected his power, but in Qin Yifan's current view, it was a bit too humble. This is not affecting his power, almost 80% to 90% of his power has been affected, and being abandoned from martial arts is not much different.

  Of course, there are still differences. After this injury and recovery, Qin Yifan's meridians, especially the main meridians that were injured, now have a tolerance that even masters find terrifying. Even an absolute top master in the martial arts world doesn't have such abnormal endurance. In the words of the master, although his cultivation was crippled by more than half, ordinary internal force attacks, even those equivalent to Qin Yifan's original level, would not be able to injure those meridians.

  With Qin Yifan's qualifications, plus the re-reformed kung fu, wanting to return to Qin Yifan's peak moment is really too simple a thing. The quick-made kung fu originally had shortcomings, even if it was cultivated to the extreme, it still couldn't avoid those congenital weaknesses, so Qin Yifan would be inexplicably injured at that moment.

  However, as a result of this blessing in disguise, the body has already become accustomed to the devastation caused by that tyrannical technique. When re-cultivating an improved technique that is relatively more gentle, it can absolutely achieve twice the effect with half the effort. Moreover, this brought another benefit - the true energy cultivated from this is stronger than the original trashy technique used in the military by hundreds of times, whether in terms of quality or quantity.

  More importantly, with the improved technique, it is no longer necessary to maintain that rigid posture of sitting still with five hearts facing heaven. At any time and anywhere, as long as Qin Yifan is willing, he can mobilize his true yuan, slowly flowing through his meridians without worrying about the problem of walking fire into magic, which is unmatched by the original technique in terms of both safety and efficiency.

  Even if it were Guoming Dashi, he could only stare in shock at Qin Yifan's extraordinary talent and insight. Such a talented person, how did they end up learning that trash that was popular in the military, and even accidentally breaking their innocence? Otherwise, being able to take Qin Yifan as a disciple would be such an easy and pleasant thing for a master!

  The weapon that had always dominated the military, however, had not moved again. In an era where martial artists valued their skills above all else, this was a truly astonishing thing.
