Qi Breathing Method

--- Chapter 3 ---

Sun Yi didn't know that Lu Xia had betrayed him. He's fully immersed in the Sirius Titanium Body, a genuine Heaven-grade Body Tempering Technique. 

According to the technique's introduction, the Sirius Titanium Body has ten mastery realms. Only those with Sirius's bloodline can train in this technique. 

"Sirius Star starts from breaking itself apart." Sun Yi mumbled the entry of Sirius Titanium Body's description. "I need to have Qi Breathing Method first." 

There are countless Spiritual-grade Qi Breathing Methods in the imperial library, and Sun Yi could choose the one with the most potential. 

He could have chosen the Sirius Qi Breathing Method, a Heaven-grade Qi Breathing Method that all Sirius Imperial Family cultivated upon reaching the age of fifteen.

However, Sun Yi has scanned the Sirius Qi Breathing Method and found the technique lacking in many aspects. And the potential value and aura are only in the upper five digits, 70,000.

It is not a Heaven-grade Qi Breathing Method in his eyes.

With that in mind, Sun Yi stood from the ground and brushed the dust off his imperial robe before walking to the imperial library. He entered the library and started scanning for Qi Breathing Methods.

"One digit, one digit." 

"Another one digit, damn." 

"Three digits. Not good enough." 

Sun Yi browsed through the bookshelves and saw a flickering light in the corner of his eyes. He furrowed his brow and approached the light, which was a potential aura.

It was a painting of the first Sirius Emperor, Sun Gang. He's a middle-aged man with a muscular physique wrapped in a white royal robe, long golden hair, and fierce blue eyes.

"Potential value, seventy thousand. And aura, a door?" 

"Is there a hidden door behind the painting? That's so obvious..." Sun Yi checked the painting with his mental power and had a realization. 

A scene flashed in his mind.

Sun Yi looked around and found no one in the library. He reenacted the scene and bit his thumbs until it bled a little. Yup, that was painful.

After that, Sun Yi carefully brushed his blood on the corner of the painting and caused the first Sirius Emperor's eyes to light up.

Swoosh!

A blue light swallowed Sun Yi into the painting, where he found himself in another secret library. It was smaller, and there were two bookshelves. 

"I'M RICH! HAHAHA!" Sun Yi shouted excitedly. 

Sun Yi suddenly froze on the spot and cautiously asked, "Ancestor? You aren't around, no? Ehem, I'm sorry for my rudeness earlier..." 

Thankfully, it was quiet. 

Sun Yi sighed in relief and checked the bookshelves. 

The first bookshelf contains twenty-four Qi Breathing Techniques. 

On the other bookshelf, Sun Yi found Martial Techniques starting from weapon handling, movement, and rare ocular arts.

Each has five digits of potential value and varied aura.

Sun Yi sat and rubbed his chin, "Star Qi Breathing Method, Wolf Qi Breathing Method, Sirius Qi Breathing Method."

"All of them ranged around 69k to 70k potential values. Is there a better one? Hmm, this Blood Beast Qi Breathing Method..." 

"81k potential value, much better than the rest of the Qi Breathing Methods. And the aura showed a werewolf with crimson furs." 

"However, why do I feel ominous feelings about it?"

"Decision, decision, what should I do." Sun Yi calmly considered the pros and cons of choosing the Blood Beast Qi Breathing Method. 

He grabbed a mirror from his spatial storage and saw his own potential values and aura, which weren't high or low. His potential value is only slightly better than Lu Xia around 125,999 points. 

His potential aura is white and shaped like a blank canvas as if waiting for a new color to change its dull appearance. 

"Wait a minute... Since Qi Breathing Methods improve one's potential. Can I do this?" Sun Yi slowly lifted the Blood Beast Qi Breathing Method and moved it near his potential value. Surprisingly, his potential value rose by another 25k points.

His blue eyes widened, and then his body trembled in excitement.

"This is it!" Sun Yi started testing twenty-four Qi Breathing Methods until he found the most suitable one for his current self. After a few minutes, Sun Yi discovered the right one.

Northern Qi Breathing Method is a spiritual-grade Qi Breathing Method with a 50k potential value. 

But this 50k potential is fully compatible with Sun Yi. It could raise his potential value by the same amount with zero loss.

"Thank you to whoever gave me this ability!" Sun Yi couldn't help but cry in happiness. It's so good to have a cheat and not be clueless about future paths. 

Sun Yi also picked a Wind Qi Breathing Technique for Lu Xia to see whether it could raise her potential value.

He turned to the second bookshelf and commented, "Let's see which one of these techniques could be useful for me." 

"Spiritual-grade Fist Technique: Exploding Force." 

"Spiritual-grade Movement Technique: Body Flickering." 

"Spiritual-grade Knife Manual: Star Butcher." 

"Spiritual-grade rare Ocular Power Cultivation: Illusion-Breaking Eyes." 

"Good stuff, each could raise my potential values by 45k." Sun Yi nodded in satisfaction. "Let's grab a Spear Manual for Lu Xia. Although she had one, a new one wouldn't hurt." 

"Not to mention, Lu Clan's Spear Manual is weaker than the one in this secret library."

"White Sky Spear Manual. I hope Lu Xia likes it." 

Sun Yi stored the manuals in his spatial storage and realized he didn't know how to exit this secret library. Then, a white entrance appeared behind him.

He glanced at the white entrance warily. He peeked his hand to test if it was safe and then his head, finding himself in the Imperial Palace's garden instead. 

"I see..." 

"So the secret library is connected to the garden." 

"Well, this makes my trip shorter." Sun Yi jumped off the white entrance and landed on the green patch of grass. He went to his quarter, and some maids greeted him.

Sun Yi only nodded and continued walking, but some whispers entered his ears.

"As expected, the rumor is a lie." 

"The Sixth Prince looks fine, though."

"They say the Sixth Prince has gone insane... Hmph, I knew it. Those bitches are lying to make the Sixth Prince's image look bad."

Sun Yi's mouth twitched because it seemed his recent craziness of using the Potential Value Scanner deemed him an insane person. 

I'm not insane.

You guys are insane.

Your entire family is insane.

Anyway, Sun Yi has gotten used to mean comments. 

He was a 21st-century guy, and people in the era were creative when insulting someone.

Entering his quarter, Sun Yi looked for Lu Xia, but she was nowhere to be seen. This maid usually stays within a 100-meter radius.

How weird.

Sun Yi shrugged and checked his recent loot, starting from the Northern Qi Breathing Method. He followed the instructions and regulated his breathing based on the diagram.

After three or four circulations, Sun Yi felt a refreshing energy washing his body, energy points, gate, and core. 

Energy points are blood veins.

Gates are eight extraordinary meridians, which need to be unlocked first.

As for the core, it was an innate organ within one's body. It can store Primal Qi.

When Sun Yi transmigrated into this world, his energy core was empty. A sign that he hadn't cultivated any Qi Breathing Method. 

He has considered training the Qi Breathing Method but decided to wait for his cheat. Thankfully, he did.

If not, Sun Yi had to waste two months' worth of effort and pain.

Sun Yi focused on regulating his breathing, and an unknown feeling appeared in his veins and energy gates. A drop of Blood Qi sublimed inside his body!

He opened his eyes and exhaled comfortably, "So this is Blood Qi. How overbearing, no wonder people can punch boulders into pieces with its enhancement." 

"Aih, but I need one thousand drops of Blood Qi to enter 1st Level of Earth Realm. What a pain." 

"Even then, I don't think anyone could condense Blood Qi this fast, maybe because the Northern Qi Breathing Method is 100% suitable for me." Sun Yi grinned a little.

He kept grinding for hours and successfully condensed four more drops of Blood Qi. 

Sun Yi jumped like a spring in the backyard and remembered an important matter, "What about the Sirius Titanium Body?" 

He stopped testing his newfound strength and checked how to train the Sirius Titanium Body, which left him speechless because all he needed to do was sustain damage while controlling his Blood Qi all over his body.

The more damage he experienced, the better Blood Qi cleansed his body.

The better Blood Qi circulate, the stronger his body would be.

In other words, he must be a sandbag!

"Fuck, I'm not a masochist!" 

"This Body Tempering Technique is perverted!" Even then, Sun Yi already thought of searching for a waterfall. 

A classic body tempering technique needs a classic waterfall!
