My Co-renting Lady Boss

Chapter 2060: Chapter 2056: Liu Mengting Has Left

"I’ve only read the descriptions of the later parts from the Cultivation Technique itself. They were too terrifying, so I didn’t dare continue cultivating it, and even this First Layer, I don’t dare use it unless it’s a true life-or-death crisis."

Yun Potian nodded, looking at Tang Ming with dread in his eyes. "If it weren’t for the fact that you now possess an Undying Body, I still wouldn’t pass this Qi Kung Fu on to you. But since you already have an Undying Body, then there’s nothing to hold you back from cultivating this Qi Kung Fu. Even if you die in the end, you’ll be able to be reborn."

"Hehe, yeah..."

Tang Ming forced a smile. Listening to the old lunatic, he didn’t even want to cultivate it anymore. It was indeed powerful, but just hearing about it was too frightening.

Within the meridian system through which a cultivator’s True Qi flows, there are all sorts of restraints. This is also why, in our Cultivation, we frequently have to impact the Meridians. And those hidden meridians that suppress and control the True Qi inside the body play an even greater role. These meridians are respectively Kai Qi, Resting Qi, Sheng Qi, Shang Qi, Du Qi, Jing Qi, Jing Qi, and Death Qi.

These eight "Qi" set limits on the amount of True Qi in the body, while the Orochi Technique can forcibly make the True Qi surpass this limit, thereby drawing out one’s own strength to a level dozens of times greater than normal.

However, while gaining this power, the caster themself will suffer damage. Therefore, this art is classified as a Forbidden Technique and has never been widely spread.

Many cultivators are just like the old lunatic. Even though they themselves have experienced the terror of the Orochi Technique, they don’t want those close to them to cultivate it, let alone allow their enemies to do so. So the best way is simply not to pass it on.

When all eight "Qi" are fully opened, the state is called the "Orochi Storm," allowing one to instantly gain power more than two hundred times beyond one’s own.

But in this state, it’s essentially burning one’s lifespan and body in exchange for tremendous power. And once the Orochi Storm is activated, it will ultimately end with one’s Life Force being completely burned away and death, and in most cases, the result is exploding and dying.

Everyone’s body has these "Eight Qi" that suppress their own True Qi, but those who know of and understand how to use the Orochi Technique are extremely rare.

The reason is that the prerequisite for using the Orochi Technique is a body with abnormal, overloaded, and beyond-the-limit endurance. Although a One-star Martial General can use the Orochi Technique to increase their Cultivation more than two hundredfold, the body of an ordinary Martial General simply cannot withstand such a colossal amount of Energy.

Tang Ming is different. His body is guarded by the Dust Gu to begin with, and combined with his Undying Body, even if he opens all eight layers, he can still hold out.

In addition, once one becomes proficient in the Cultivation, it’s possible to skip the earlier "Qi" that limit the True Qi and directly open the later "Qi" that limit the True Qi. In other words, you can directly bypass the front few layers and activate the later ones—for example, directly opening the Sixth Layer to increase your Cultivation by sixty-four times.

Of course, the premise is that the cultivator must be skilled in performing the Orochi Technique, and as for the damage that does to the body...

Anyway, up till now the old lunatic has only ever used the First Layer. The later layers he only saw in the Cultivation Technique’s descriptions; he’s never actually experienced them.

"Alright, that’s about it for the general introduction. After years of tempering, my body can now withstand the self-inflicted damage of the First Layer, but all I can do is reduce the damage, not avoid it completely. So unless it’s a critical moment, I still won’t use this Martial Arts."

After talking for so long, the old lunatic looked at Tang Ming with a grave expression. "I’m going to impart to you now the circulation method and key points of the Orochi Technique. You must remember them clearly."

"This disciple will definitely study it with all his heart."

Tang Ming nodded solemnly, then followed along and began cultivating.

Only when he officially started cultivating did Tang Ming understand why the old lunatic was so fearful of this Orochi Technique.

Just from cultivating it the first time, Tang Ming had to be reborn several times. It was too painful, a kind of torment from the inside out that ordinary people simply couldn’t endure.

Within the Riyang Peak Sect’s resident grounds, a large number of disciples were in intense, tight-knit cultivation, when they suddenly felt waves of terrifying, heaven-shaking aura continuously surging from a distant mountaintop, making their hearts tremble.

But everyone knew that Tang Ming was cultivating over there, so they weren’t on guard, nor did they dare to disturb him. One by one, they obediently continued cultivating.

In the residential area in the back, Liu Mengting sat on a scenic stone bench, watching Li Xiaoli flying back and forth in front of her, earnestly cultivating, while Mu Zixin sat to the side eating fruit and rubbing her belly...

"What am I supposed to be, exactly?"

Watching everyone having something to do, Liu Mengting felt a bit lost. After experiencing so many things, she now felt she was nothing but trash, always a burden at Tang Ming’s side.

Even though she now had an Undying Body, apart from being undying and her Spirit Demon, she still didn’t know anything.

And because she herself had no strength, her Spirit Demon couldn’t display much power either.

Under the old lunatic’s guidance, Li Xiaoli was growing stronger and stronger, Mu Zixin was currently carrying Tang Ming’s child in her womb, and her...?

"Sigh..."

Thinking of all this, Liu Mengting couldn’t help letting out a sigh, rubbing her belly. "I did it so many times with Tang Ming before... I wonder if I’m pregnant now... But after each rebirth even the membrane regenerates, so there probably isn’t any chance of conceiving, right?"

While the girls were airing themselves out in the courtyard, Meng Xianjun stood not far away, his expression complicated as he stared at Liu Mengting.

Meng Xianjun’s brows were tightly furrowed as he paced back and forth. After a long while, his gaze became resolute and he strode toward Liu Mengting.

"Liu Mengting."

Meng Xianjun came up to her and called out softly.

"Brother Meng, do you need something?"

Liu Mengting snapped out of her daze and looked at Meng Xianjun in puzzlement.

"There’s something I want to talk to you about."

Meng Xianjun hesitated for a moment, then spoke through gritted teeth.

"What is it?"

Liu Mengting looked at Meng Xianjun blankly.

"Let’s step aside and talk."

Meng Xianjun glanced at Su Qingqing and Mu Zixin, then lowered his voice.

"Hm?"

Liu Mengting was full of confusion. She didn’t seem to have been very close to Meng Xianjun before; there shouldn’t be any need for private conversation, right?

Seeing the look of expectation in Meng Xianjun’s eyes, Liu Mengting eventually agreed. The two of them walked to a corner of the courtyard and began talking.

As time passed, Liu Mengting’s expression grew increasingly ugly. After they finished talking, Meng Xianjun left.

Liu Mengting returned to her room with tightly knitted brows, leaving Su Qingqing and Mu Zixin completely baffled.

In the evening, Tang Ming finished cultivating and returned to the Sect to eat.

At the dining table, Zhou Xiaoqian, Su Qingqing, Mu Zixin, Mo Hongsheng, Wu Xiaoxia and the others were all present, with Liu Mengting being the only one missing.

"Huh, where’s Meng Ting?"

As Tang Ming ate, he asked in puzzlement.

"I don’t know! Feels like I haven’t seen her for a while."

Mu Zixin shook her head in confusion.

"I’ll go call Meng Meng-jie to eat."

Su Qingqing immediately got up and ran out of the dining hall.

"She still hasn’t recovered?"

Tang Ming frowned slightly but didn’t say anything, assuming Liu Mengting was still stuck in the shadow of her previous trauma and hadn’t recovered.

Not long after, Su Qingqing’s cry of alarm rang out: "This is bad, Meng Meng-jie is gone!"
