Ancient Strengthening Techniques
The Extraordinary Perfection Stage of the Mighty Mighty Stomp
Bandit career smelled of blood and violence. However it cannot be denied that/it ” profession ‘sort of it is something very alluring. After all, it is the human weakness to thirst for success without labor. Thus, the bandit guild would use various methods to attract talent.
Once they had someone as a target, it was difficult for that person to escape. If that person joined in, they could forget to leave unless they died.
If their offer doesn't work, it's just because it's not tempting enough. There is no one in this world who cannot be tempted, like there is no one who does not betray. It's just a matter of how high the stakes are.
Bandits can use women, money, martial skills, rare equipment, coercion or blackmail. As long as they can get a person's weakness, they can be sure that/that person will give up.
There was only one type of person who would not be tempted, and that was a dead person!
Ever since Qing Shui's reputation increased, many bandits in Hundred Miles City moved to look for a city that was more suitable for themselves. However, there were some who wanted to recruit Qing Shui.
About three hundred miles away from Hundred Miles City, there was a medium mountain range known as ” Parallel Mountains ’. Two rows of parallel mountains spanned about thirty miles. This was the only route to Zhanyuan City.
In the past, there were many bandits living in these mountains. Then, a group of even more ferocious bandits came. There were about five hundred people in their gang and each of them were wearing red clothes, so the people living nearby called them the Red Gang.
The Crimson Gang was extremely powerful and their ambitions were even greater. After eliminating some of the nearby bandits and scaring some others, there were still a few guild bandits left. However, they had to give up some of their assets to the Crimson Gang.
At such times, there is stiff competition even in this shady business and it is ruthless. Failure means death. Precisely because of this the bandits eat well, drink well and ‘play’ with the prettiest woman. After all, they lived in danger and could die at any moment.
A few years after their establishment, ‘bisnis’ Crimson Gang has expanded to three nearby cities. All the passing merchants and merchants from Hundred Miles City, Zhanyuan City and Tianwu City had to pay a toll.
Nothing is more valuable than one's life and it's normal to spend money to avoid trouble. Gradually the merchants and merchant groups became familiar with the bandits. The area becomes like ” city gate ” and people have to pay tolls every time they want to pass through it. The problem is the toll is much higher.
The leader of the Crimson Gang was Wu Yitian. He was a burly middle-aged man. His weapon was a sword that cut through horses and he was quite wise. Most importantly, he is a Poison maker and is convinced that/that he is one of the best in this skill set. He only knew how to make poison and did not know how to make medicine to cure people.
In his thirty-year career as a bandit, he relied heavily on poison. Many people who were much stronger than him died at his hands. He was also astute and had genuine insight, so he easily found success wherever he went.
Unfortunately, when he was in another country, he had robbed a pair of mothers and children from an influential clan. He even raped them both. He rummaged through the beehive and the five thousand members of the Crimson Gang had to flee to this small, mediocre area. They only had five hundred people left and they could not pay too much attention to themselves.
He has no big dreams and is not thinking of changing his profession. He only wanted to expand his Crimson Gang so that it was bigger than before. He just wants to reach the top of his profession. He wanted to be able to match the biggest clan or sect in a country. Then, take the opportunity to join the larger bandit guild.
’’Male brother, are you really planning to recruit Qing Shui? He was a man who was rumored to have defeated two great clans, ” An equally steadfast but gloomier man said to Wu Yitian.
’’That's why I wanted to recruit him! We must do everything in our power to get him to join our Crimson Gang. We must succeed or die trying, ” Wu Yitian said as his eyes burned with fire.
’’ Big Brother, are you planning to make himhe ate ‘Marionette Divine’? If we fail, we can be eliminated completely. ” The grim-looking man asked cautiously.
’’Ya. Danger can never be overcome without taking risks. If we have it, the Crimson Gang can even operate in the capital of the Continent. We can make more money and play with more beautiful women .. ’

Qing Shui entered the Eternal Jade Violet Realm at night.
He took out the treasures like weapons and armor he took from the Yan Clan Treasury and distributed them among the Qing family. When he saw their happy faces, he also felt happy.
Of all the demon beast cores that Qing Shui had taken from the Yan Clan Treasury, his best core was an orange that was around 2,500 years old. If he wanted to synthesize the Xiantian Golden pellet, he would still need one year of 3,000 years, one year of 3500 and one year of 4,000-year demon beast.
Xiantian Golden Pellet recipe: 500-year demon beast core, 1,000-year demon beast core, 1,500-year demon beast core, 2,000-year demon beast core, 2,500-year demon beast core, 2,500-year demon beast core, 3,000-year demon beast core, 3,500-year demon beast core, 4,000-year demon beast core …
2,000 years of Snow Melt Wood, one Peach of immortality, three drops of 5,000 years of Blood Tortoise, 1,000 years of Ginseng, 2,000 years of Lingzhi, thyme, 1,000th of Bleeceflower Root, 1,000 years of Ginseng, 1,000 years of Blood Coral and 1,000 years of Immortal Fox Saliva!
A 500-year-old demonic beast was about the Xiantian Level, a 1,000-year-old beast was at the peak of Xiantian, a 1,500-year-old beast was at the beginner class Martial King, a 1,000-year-old beast was at the Xiantian peak, The 2,000 year beast was about a Cla.s.s 5 Martial King, the 2,500 year beast was about a Cla.s.s 7 Martial King, the 3,000 year beast was at a Cla.s.s 8 Martial King ….
The essence of a 4,000-year-old demonic beast was required to hunt a demonic beast that was at the peak of the Martial King level. A demonic beast could fight on par with three humans of the same level …
Even if there were five peak level Martial King level warriors, it might be difficult to defeat a 4,000 year old demonic monster. A Saint Martial level warrior could easily complete it but all saint level martial warriors were too far away.
Qing Shui shook his head. No matter how hard it was, he had to succeed.
…………
Qing Shui felt very happy to see the huge pile of gems. There are Moonstones – known as Moonlight Stone in Middle Continent, Black Treasured Stones, Red Agate – known as Firestones in Middle Continent and there are sky blue colored stone types. Qing Shui didn't know what they were.
’’Should I use this time to synthesize gems?’
The synthesis of gems also involved the use of the Ancient Forging Art. He only needed a smelting furnace and it did not involve complicated steps such as forging weapons or armor. However, it required a large amount of vital energy.
The process of melting, smelting and refining requires full concentration and a large amount of vital energy, a large amount of spiritual understanding and a good fusion method.
Qing Shui had no idea of the fusion process used by the people from the Central Continent. Qing Shui's method was very unique but simple. The prerequisite was that he needed to use the Ancient Qi Strengthening Technique as a foundation. He would use his Spiritual Sense to observe and perform the fusion process. A little mistake means everything has to be removed.
Qing Shui discovered that/it was not that simple after his first synthesis. Blending two level Moonstones into level 2 was actually a little tiring for him. This should be the reason why Tier 4 gems are quite expensive in the Greencloud Continent.
Maybe it was due to the fact that/it was his first time, so he felt tired. He had to keep himself in a focused state for a long time so as not to ruin everything with a small mistake. Despite this, Qing Shui was happy that/it ‘Minutes of Fineness’ of his vital energy and strength had actually become stronger. Qing Shui did not expect such a side benefit. It seemed like this was the result of controlling his strength with great precision while being in a very focused state.
Qing Shui decided to incorporate the activity into his cultivation. After all, it would take a long time for him to fully use that pile of gems. After he finished combining all the level 1 gems, he could combine level 2 gems and so on. Each gem can be used more than once and the process is very time consuming. It is simply because it takes time that/it has side benefits.
Qing Shui channeled one huge cycle of Qi using the Ancient Qi of the Ancient Strengthening Technique. He's already on cycle 137 and will reach cycle 138. Qing Shui was able to sense that/it took the time to complete each cycle getting longer and longer. He did not know how long it would take to reach the 199th cycle.
Mighty Elephant Stomp!
Qing Shui had already practiced the Mighty Elephant Stomp for a month. Although he had not spent all his time in the Mighty Elephant Stomp, the time he had spent practicing this skill had already been nearly a year in the Violet Jade Immortal Realm. However, he still could not feel that/it was ” Diamond Qi ”.
Qing Shui never gave up because he knew that/it skills behind would not be that easy. After all, even the various forms had taken him quite a lot of time. In the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal, it would be equivalent to over ten years of hard training.
Qing Shui slowly took a deep and long breath. Following the instructions of ‘’Diamond Qi’, he channeled his Qi gradually through his meridians, viens, limbs, and bones …
It always stops completing the cycle. He doesn't know how many times he tried. It was at that moment that he felt that/that if he had just completed the full cycle, he would have managed to obtain the ability of ’’ Diamond Qi ’’
Sigh ..
Qing Shui stopped as he sighed. Another day had passed, but he still did not feel any reaction from this ‘’Diamond Qi’. He did not know how many times he breathed.
Qing Shui felt fine after sighing because it was his hope. He ate a little and tried to raise his Soulshake Bell level.
After the Soulshake Bell increased by one level, it stopped leveling up. Qing Shui stopped using it but he tried to raise it every day.
Just like this, Qing Shui spent most of his time in the Ancient Strengthening Technique and also continued to practice other techniques. Time passes quickly this way.
Blue Lotus Art!
After he sensed the unusual change of practicing the Blue Lotus Art, Qing Shui continued to practice. He condensed his Xiantian Qi into a lotus form. Qing Shui was now somewhat adept at controlling the three golden lotus flowers, but it was merely a method for him to control his vital strength and energy. He did not plan on using this on the opponent.
Basic Sword Technique!
The Heavenly Palace Sword Arts!
……
Qing Shui practiced all of his techniques every day at least once or several times. Later, he spent the rest of his time at the Mighty Elephant Stomp. Qing Shui had the belief that/it was the harder it was to master the technique, the stronger it was. Moreover, Qing Shui was well aware of the prowess of the Mighty Elephant Stomp.
’’It stops again!’ ’
’’I'm one step away!’’
……
Every time Qing Shui channeled his Qi, it failed. Every time he reached Lingtai's acupoint, it failed. If only he could break through the Lingtai acupoints on his back, he would only need Qi to pass through that point and his cycle would be complete.
After she thought about it for a moment, Qing Shui took another deep breath. He once again channeled his Qi throughout his body.
Once again, he pushed his Qi into the position of the acupoint point. When he reached that place, Qing Shui suddenly channeled his Natural energy. Although he was unable to channel his own Xiantian Qi when he first practiced Diamond Qi, Nature Energy was considered the most mysterious type of ‘’qi’ within the cosmos so Qing Shui decided to give it a try.
The unhampered Energy of Nature, the most righteous and holy Qi in the cosmos!
He had spent so long practicing his Natural Energy every morning facing east. It was now much stronger, especially after the previous breakthrough, it had improved a lot.
Natural Energy becomes one with ” breaths ” and it rushes towards Lingtai acupoint!
Sir!
It's busted. It broke like a knife through butter!
Qing Shui broke through the place that had been bothering him for a long time. After which, Qing Shui felt a strand of golden-coloured hair like Qi rise from his dantian and felt it slowly walk through the path stated in the Diamond Qi technique. It was automatic and seemed to function similar to the Qi technique of Ancient Strengthening, but took a different path through the meridians of the body.
At the same time, he felt a slight change in the strength, defense and strength of his internal constituents. His body feels numb …
Qing Shui controlled the golden strands of Diamond Qi and channeled them through several cycles. One cycle, two cycles …
Although Diamond Qi was thin, it was durable, sharp, domineering and slowly strengthening. Not easy to cultivate ‘’Diamond Qi’'s ’
He took her through over a hundred cycles. Half a day has passed!
According to the introduction, Qing Shui was already at the small success stage of the Mighty Elephant Society. Even so, it should be the lowest stage level of that stage.
After he conveniently channeled ” Diamond Qi ”, he needed to use his own Xiantian Qi to drive it, but he was stunned when he used his Qi Kuno Strengthening Technique to come in contact with the Diamond Qi strand.
Qing Shui could feel that/it had a slight change in his body in that instant. It was as if a fish had jumped into the water. Qing Shui was astonished that/that his Ancient Qi Strengthening Technique did not run parallel to ‘’Diamond Qi’. Instead, a muddy golden-colored Qi enveloped the yellow Diamond Qi strands.
Qing Shui was able to clearly sense the Diamond Qi in the midst of his Qi Ancient Strengthening Technique. It felt like it was almost as thick as wool yarn. Qing Shui could feel his bones, meridians, dantians, internal organs, and limbs significantly stronger. Not only was his body's defense, but he felt like he had an overall boost in strength and speed.
Mighty Elephant Stomp (Great Success Stage)!
He had reached the Great Success Stage of the Mighty Elephant Stomp directly!
The essence of the Mighty Mighty Stacker technique is ’’ Diamond Qi ’. If he could successfully cultivate Diamond Qi, it would be considered a Small Stage of Success. Gaining the ability to fuse it and a cultivator belonging to Qi would be at the Great Success Stage. Finally, the Great Perfection Stage was when there was a total fusion of the two.
