Inside the room, Yun Ming was not idle.
When he first arrived, he had a slight sense of awe towards this First Martial Family, but now... a bunch of adorable, naive foxes.
Perhaps some were cunning.
But in front of his Martial Uncle, they didn't seem to dare to be presumptuous.
He focused his gaze on the adorable little one in front of him, and rubbed Hoshimi Ya's fox ears, which she enjoyed immensely, rubbing back against him.
"Hoshimi Ya, take off your clothes."
"Oh..."
Mommy said to listen to Master.
Although Mommy also said not to take off clothes in front of outsiders, Master shouldn't count as an outsider, right?
She quickly stripped off her clothes, and her small hands were about to reach for her undergarments... "Stop, you don't need to take those off."
Yun Ming couldn't help but think, it's a good thing she's young.
Otherwise, even teaching a spell would cause misunderstandings. This method will need to be improved in the future.
"Come closer to Master."
"Mm..."
Hoshimi Ya was very well-behaved; whatever Master said, she did.
She instinctively crawled towards the young man, after all, it was still a bit cold in the dead of winter. If she took off her clothes, was Master going to hug her? Or was he going to bathe with her?
The little fox girl didn't think much of it; although she rarely let people hug her, she really liked Master's scent.
"If it hurts too much soon, you must tell Master, okay?"
"Hoshimi Ya isn't afraid of pain."
Hoshimi Ya smiled brightly, raising her head a little proudly, as if expecting Master's praise.
"Mm... Hoshimi Ya is amazing~"
Yun Ming pinched her baby-fat cheeks, his heart almost melting. He almost couldn't bear to proceed.
But, a short pain is better than a long one.
Hoshimi Ya, bear with it, this is all for your future.
He put the spiritual energy pill into Hoshimi Ya's mouth.
The pill immediately turned into liquid and entered her body. The extremely pure spiritual energy was guided to flow through her limbs and meridians.
There were traces of being shaped by a breathing technique.
Unlike the cultivation method of Yun Kui Mountain, the Hoshimi Family's breathing technique did not focus on spells, but on strengthening oneself, following the path of a martial artist.
It was more violent and direct.
Constantly refining the body and will, accepting Aether, and then gaining stronger power, continuing to refine, in a never-ending cycle.
And this placed higher demands on the individual, requiring exceptional Aether affinity, martial arts talent, and a pure martial artist's heart.
As a result.
They also became excellent sacrifices for the Demonic Blade.
The host's body, refined like a treasure, became its best food, and that world-defying will transformed into blade intent... condensing into a one-eyed, horned energy body like a spirit artifact.
Yun Ming cast aside distracting thoughts. The Aether and spiritual energy within the little fox girl's body showed some resistance, which was different from those two girls, Yi Jiang and Yi Xuan.
They hadn't cultivated before, so they naturally wouldn't encounter such problems, but the Hoshimi Family's breathing technique was precisely about accepting and controlling Aether.
Logically speaking, it shouldn't conflict with Yun Kui Mountain's cultivation method.
But Yun Ming cultivated spiritual energy, and naturally wanted his Apprentice to cultivate it too, or perhaps dual cultivation was not impossible.
"Run your breathing technique."
"Mm..."
The little fox girl's voice was a bit tearful, but she had just said she wasn't afraid of pain, so Hoshimi Ya mustn't cry! Hoshimi Ya isn't afraid!
She began to run her breathing technique.
The spiritual energy, guided by Yun Ming, gave way, completing a large cycle with the Aether, and he gradually understood the marvel of this breathing technique.
Conquering Aether with personal will, and then using gentle Aether to counter external violent Aether during cultivation.
The host's Aether affinity would also continuously strengthen during this process.
However, this required extremely high talent.
Therefore, the threshold was high. Perhaps the Hoshimi Family had secret methods for those who entered, but this was not something ordinary people could know.
In short, the breathing technique was not as universally applicable as the Yun Kui Mountain's first-stage cultivation method, which started with the most gentle Aether.
Coexisting with Aether, controlling Aether.
He repeatedly confirmed the meridians through which the Aether flowed. These Aether were mixed throughout the body without a fixed place to stay.
Thus, a bold idea was born.
He slightly modified the Yun Kui Mountain's method, causing spiritual energy to gather in two places: upwards to the Heavenly Heart, and downwards to the Dantian.
The Heavenly Heart guards the spirit, the Dantian suppresses evil.
If this method succeeded, in the future, spiritual energy could suppress Aether, while also keeping it confined within the body without dispersing, refining and transforming it countless times for one's own use.
As long as spiritual energy cultivation reached its peak, guarding the Heavenly Heart and residing in the Sea of Consciousness, one wouldn't fear Aether eroding the will. Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful!
Yun Ming even suddenly became curious: if spiritual energy truly refined Aether tens of millions of times, removing all its corrosive properties, what difference would there be between it and spiritual energy?
Such a simple thing, why hadn't he thought of it before?
A single spark of insight ignites a thousand divine thoughts.
The spiritual energy between heaven and earth suddenly became vast, and with Hoshimi Ya's body as a dojo, it began to pour in fiercely.
"It hurts, Master, it hurts!"
Hoshimi Ya was, after all, still a three-year-old toddler. Even with a resolute heart for martial arts, this kind of pain was a first for her.
She desperately clutched Master's hand, pushing it away.
She felt as if her body was about to split open, as if something inside her was constantly trying to break out, and Master's aura was terrifying.
Just like when he used that 'Heaven and Earth Together' technique.
Looking down on the world, as if to cut down all things in this world.
Yun Ming suddenly opened his eyes. Oh no... he almost got carried away, forgetting whether his Apprentice could bear it. Even an experiment should be done on his own body.
He quickly retracted his divine power.
The spiritual energy also began to become gentle, like a trickling stream, repairing the meridians that had been damaged by the surging energy earlier. The Aether no longer resisted fiercely.
He secretly glanced at the little fox, who was sniffing and tightly clutching his hand, "Master, is it done?"
"Soon, it will be done soon!"
Yun Ming was not without embarrassment. Fortunately, he wouldn't be discovered, otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to explain it to her mother and father.
Outside the room, Hoshimi Yuu felt the immense aura that had suddenly risen and then disappeared, and he also shot up from his seat.
Goodness, one would think grandmasters were fighting inside.
We're just saying, teaching a technique, is it really necessary to go that far?
"Young man, you must be patient!"
"Look at all of you, like waiting for a pregnant woman outside the delivery room. Yun Ming has his limits."
Hoshimi Yuu was suppressed back into his seat.
But Bai Xian also began to murmur in her heart, 'Yun Ming, don't make a mistake. I'm just a pretty face now, I can't risk my life.'
