Ning Qi went away after showing Nangong Xu his room and telling him to order food on his own or go outside to have it.
By the time Ning Qi went home, it was already 8 pm. He saw Li ping watching TV while eating food.
"Go and have it! I have made some egg-fried rice. It is still hot now." Li Ping saw Ning Qi coming in and said. He didn't ask where Ning Qi went, and neither did he brings any of the things that happened yesterday, giving Ning Qi his privacy.
Ning Qi smiled at him, as he understood that his buddy is a bit worried about him and doesn't want to bring it up. But he knows that Li Ping will ask him about those when the time is right.
Ning Qi patted him on his shoulder, as though thanking him for his understanding. To which Li Ping simply rolled his eyes and put concentration on his food and show.
Ning Qi quickly freshened up and got some fried rice from the kitchen, before joining Li Ping.
"Give me the remote, this show is too boring. How are you even able to watch this? " Ning Qi started complaining and demanded the remote.
To which Li Ping glared and quickly hid the remote. Soon, they both started one handed fight, for the remote, not putting any interest in watching the show.
By the time they finished eating, the show is finished. Ning Qi also lost any interest in watching Tv and quickly went to bed early.
" I will be going out early in the morning tomorrow! I have some work to deal with... here, take this 1500 yuan, buy me a second handed scooter and send it to Peach blossom river resort. I think there is a second-hand scooter-selling shop near your office right? "
Ning Qi handed 1500 yuan to Li ping and said.
"Oh! Peach blossom river resort? And you are wasting money on a second-hand scooter? Why don't you buy a new one, instead? I have been telling you to take one for so many years already... " Li Ping Started nagging, to which Ning Qi simply closed the door and went to bed, obviously earning an angry curse from Li Ping.
Thursday, early in the morning. Ning Qi reached the resort around 6 am. He also wanted to practice the Divine strength technique along with Nangong Xu.
By the time went to the second floor, he saw Nangong Xu in a cultivation position and got confused.
'Does this fellow hasn't been cultivation for the entire night right?' Ning Qi thought.
Hearing the footsteps from behind, Nangong Xu looked behind first, before standing up from his lotus position.
"Haven't you slept at all? " Ning Qi asked casually.
"I slept peacefully, sect master. I just woke up at 4 am and started doing cultivation. There is a little improvement in my dantian already... I think in almost 10 days, I can break through to level 2. " Nangong Xu said excitedly, to which Ning Qi is a bit surprised but still warned him to not be hasty or else his foundation won't be stable.
"Alright! Practicing cultivation techniques is the Main thing that a cultivator should focus on, but Martial techniques are also pretty important to practice. Even though they won't increase your strength permanently, they will boast your overall strength to a certain level for a limited time. Which will help you have a better chance when fighting against an enemy. " Ning Qi slowly explained the importance of having a martial technique to Nangong Xu, to which he listened carefully.
" I will teach a very powerful technique to you now, this technique is an important technique passed down from ancient times in our Sect. This technique is called the divine strength technique, which has three levels overall. The first level will double all your stats by 1 time or they will double, but you can only be in this state for 1 minute and this stage is the easiest to achieve. The second level will raise your stats by 3 times and can be maintained for 3 minutes, but it is hard to achieve. The final stage is 10 times......" Ning Qi explained to Nangong Xu about the Divine strength technique, including its limitation of only being able to use it once a day.
"Omg! That means, even if I only achieve the first stage, will I have the strength to fight against the level 8 Qi refining cultivator now? " Nangong Xu asked with an exclamation.
"Hm! You can fight a level 8 for a minute, before getting killed by him, after that one minute. So! you better never face an enemy who is too powerful for you to deal with, even after turning your martial technique, alright? " Ning Qi chided him a bit for going over the top with his thinking, as this will eventually lead to his silly death someday.
"Ah!! Alright, sect master. I will always listen to your words. " Nangong Xu also felt the way that his thinking changed and it was kind of dangerous to him. He looked at Ning Qi with grateful eyes, as though, he decided to listen to whatever Ning Qi will tell him.
Ning Qi asked for the book to practice from System and gave it to Nangong Xu, before asking him to go away to practice on his own.
"Hm! System, please transfer all the skills that are available to me. " Ning Qi instructed.
"Ding! Congratulation to the host on learning 'Master Level' Hand to hand combat techniques."
"Ding! Congratulations to the host on learning 'Master Level' Gun mastery." Two system Notifications sounded, right after he asked them.
As soon as both those techniques are added to his skill set, his brain is filled with a lot of memories regarding those techniques. He felt like, he is very familiar with them, as though, he has been practicing them for years.
"As expected, System won't let me learn Martial Techniques like those 2 ." Ning Qi waited a bit more, before confirming that no more notifications is coming.
"System! transfer me the knowledge of Divine Strength technique." Ning Qi commanded again. He at least has this kind of benefit, that he doesn't need to follow and remember the entire technique first before being able to practice.
"Ding! Divine strength martial technique is being transferred to the host... transfer in the process... transfer completed. Please check the host. "
System voice sounded again, and soon all the data on how to practice the technique was cleanly printed on his brain. he felt like, he can start it right away without the need to worry about any mistakes.
This technique is a process of compressing spiritual, and bodily strength into one point to reach the first level. When the practitioner reaches level 1 in this technique, they will have a White tattoo-like mark, which has a width of 4 mm and a length of 4 cm on their lower wrist. Whenever the technique is activated, this mark will light up. After one minute, it will go back to its original but will take an entire day, to recharge it back. There will be a second mark when one reaches the second stage and a third one for the third stage.
Ning Qi understood the process. But this is the first time, he started to operate his spiritual energy, after he got his strength. So, he took some time on operating it, before proceeding to practice the divine strength technique.
