Throughout the night, Chen Jing’s breathing rhythm could not help but become long and slow.
Every time he breathed, it was as if there was a white crane coiled around his body.
As he breathed and breathed, the white crane’s wings would also open and close.
At 6 am the next day, he got up on time.
This time, his head no longer hurt and his eyes no longer bulged. He actually found that his spirit was exceptionally full.
Just as he was about to get off the bed, his hands pressed against the edge of the bed. With force, he actually heard a crack. The edge of the solid wood bed was actually broken on the spot.
“Ah?”
Once the edge of the bed broke, he fell down and sat down.
Just as he was feeling baffled, he wanted to grab a chair at the side and stand up.
But when he grabbed the chair, the place where he grabbed the solid wood chair also broke with a crack.
“This…”
If it was just the edge of the bed that broke, it might have been a quality issue. However, even the chair broke. This was Chen Jing’s problem.
“Is it my problem?”
Chen Jing looked at his hand and thought for a moment. Suddenly, he slapped his palm on the ground.
Crack!
The tiles on the ground also cracked on the spot. With the spot where his fist hit as the center, it spread in all directions.
“What’s going on?”
Chen Jing sat on the ground. He was both shocked and afraid. He was shocked that his strength had suddenly become so great.
He was afraid that if he were to act like this in the future, how would he survive?
Thinking back to what happened last night, he remembered that he had only seen the old man’s ‘White Crane Longevity Painting’. Then, his head started to hurt and he fell asleep.
“Oh right, I remember. After I fell asleep last night, my head started to hurt to the extreme. Then, a strange scripture inexplicably branded itself into my memory. This scripture is called… ‘White Crane Longevity Scripture’. There is a breathing method in it. Last night, my body couldn’t help but follow that method of breathing and it lasted for an entire night.”
Thinking of this, he realized that up until now, he was still breathing that breathing rhythm.
The normal breathing rhythm was one breath at a time. Completing one breath would take about three seconds.
And this breathing method actually took three breaths at a time. Completing one breath would take a full 20 seconds.
So when he first started breathing at this rhythm last night, Chen Jing felt that his brain was short of oxygen and it was very uncomfortable.
But at that time, his body was out of control.
This continued for about two hours. After that, his body gradually adapted to this kind of frequency and rhythm.
Thinking of this, Chen Jing hurriedly stopped this breathing rhythm and returned to his normal state of breathing.
After this, he felt his hands and feet suddenly become light. It was as if he was no longer as tense as before.
He once again tried to hit the ceramic tile with his palm.
Pa!
His palm slapped down, but it was so painful that Chen Jing grimaced in pain, but the ceramic tile was safe and sound.
“I’ve recovered. So it was really the effect of this breathing technique just now. But why did this breathing technique make my strength become so great?”
Chen Jing was full of doubts.
But to know why, he could only look for the answer from the ‘White Crane Longevity Scripture’.
This scripture had already been imprinted in his memory, so he immediately started reading it from the beginning.
However, he only saw that the introduction had written: Qi, the source of ten thousand arts.
The Qi of life was vigorous and wonderful.
The Qi of death was decaying and rotting.
The Qi of tranquility was like an ancient well without any ripples.
The Qi of movement was like the wind that blew in all its splendor.
Humans had the Qi of life and death, and also the Qi of tranquility. Breathing was exhaled, and breathing was absorbed.
Breathing and circulation were refinement.
“Refinement? This is… Qi refinement?” When Chen Jing saw these introductions, it was as if he had opened the door to a new world.
He was not unfamiliar with this term.
Legend had it that when cultivators refined Qi, they could abstain from grains, control the wind, soar into the clouds, and ride the fog. They could move mountains and fill the seas. They could live longer than the sun and the moon and shine with the sky and earth.
“This… is it really Qi refinement?”
Chen Jing still couldn’t believe it.
Immediately, he changed his breathing rhythm to the [White Crane Breathing Technique].
As a result, the tension in his limbs appeared once again.
This tension wasn’t a feeling of being restrained. It was a feeling of being covered in iron.
He hit the ground with his palm once again.
Bang!
It was different from the previous sound. This time, it was a muffled sound. At the same time, the tiles shattered into pieces.
And his hands did not feel any pain at all.
“This… is real. It’s actually real.”
Chen Jing stood up excitedly.
The joy in his heart was even more excited than when he won 10 million.
Knock, knock, knock!
At this moment, someone knocked on the door. “Ah Jing, why aren’t you getting up? What are you hammering inside for?”
Chen Jing happily opened the door. He wanted to say something out of joy, but it was difficult for him to say it out loud. He knew that if he rashly told his family about something that was difficult to explain, not only would he not be able to explain it clearly, but it would also make them afraid.
So, he decided not to say anything.
“Mom, the edge of my bed broke and smashed the floor. Can you get me a new one?”
As he said this, he went out to eat breakfast.
Xu Yanlan walked into his room with a confused look on her face. As expected, the solid wooden bed beam that was two palms wide broke.
“Hey, why did your bed break?”
“Maybe the quality isn’t good,” Chen Jing answered as he ate.
“You didn’t fall anywhere, right?”
“Not really.”
After eating breakfast, Chen Jing was afraid that his mother would ask too much, so he left in a hurry.
Xu Yanlan had also been studying his room for a long time. In the end, she did not come up with any answers, so she called his father to buy a new one.
When he arrived at school, Chen Jing was also absent-minded during the four classes in the morning. His mind was filled with the [White Crane Breathing Technique].
It was like a child finding a fun toy and insisting on studying it thoroughly.
[White Crane Breathing Technique] was a breathing technique and a luck technique. The combination of breathing and luck was the so-called Qi refinement. Breathing more and breathing less was storing Qi in the body. The moment he entered this breathing rhythm, the strength of his four limbs would increase greatly. This was a sign that he hadn’t completely grasped it. If he completely grasped it, he could also freely absorb and release this strength.
Chen Jing was completely immersed in the four classes in the morning.
He didn’t even notice the bell for the end of class at noon.
It wasn’t until someone came to his desk to call him that he came back to his senses.
“What’s wrong? Have you been absent-minded all morning?” It was Lu Yanyan.
“Oh, nothing. Is this… the end of class?”
“Yes, thank you for the present you gave me yesterday. I really like it,” Lu Yanyan said with a smile. She had worn the hairpin on her head today.
“It’s good that you like it.”
“You left too early yesterday. I didn’t even have time to thank you. How about I treat you to lunch today?”
“There’s no need for that. I’m really not used to you being so polite.”

“It doesn’t seem like your style to give up the opportunity to rip me off.”
“Ha, since that’s the case, I won’t stand on ceremony. I’ll pick the place. How about Baihui Restaurant?”
Baihui Restaurant was the most expensive restaurant in the vicinity of their school.
If he wanted to rip her off, he would have to do it big.
Lu Yanyan nodded, smiled, and directly agreed. “Okay..”
