Lin Jian travelled to the Douluo world and became a commoner in the same generation of Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong. He is currently living in the most cloud village in Tian Dou Empire. As Lin Jian became a commoner and found his parents are not from any clan with specific bloodline, he decided to work hard.
But Lin Jian knew this is no ordinary matter. In this world, background and beginning speaks volumes though it's not everything. Ordinary soul masters almost considered cannon fodder. So he Lin Jian. Started working towards his goal. To first possess some soul power.
His parents don't have soul power. His ancestry recorded no hints of it. So it's understandable that the bloodline he is carrying can give him nothing. So he sat in meditation everyday for hours trying to pull the soul power into his body.
Over the 3 years of effort he succeeded but only barely. He almost injured himself several times for this. His meridians would have ruptured countless times. Lin Jian sat on the big rock mountain behind the village and muttered," how did someone build those cultivation novels? How did they gain insight into something this delicate? ".
Lin Jian's method without any reference and created from simple trial and error in the safety precautions isn't much better. But he managed to acquired soul power nonethless with it. It isn't exactly a cultivation technique, it's more like an enhanced meditation and pulling the soul power in air into his lungs thereby circulate it throughout his body.
Yeah, this one doesn't consider meridians at all mainly due to Lin Jian's PTSD, when he almost made his body explode while trying to circulate soul power in an imaginary circute without proper knowledge, acupoint purpose and soul power control. Fortunately he stopped it in time feeling something is wrong.
Since then, he is too afraid to even disturb the meridians in his body and used this breathing method which is an enhanced meditation to cultivate. It took him nearly 2 years to make this method. The air containing soul power will circulated throughout his body.
His pores will also breathe in and out this air with soul power. While running throughout the body it also helped him sense him sense his own organs allowing him to safely drive it if something goes wrong and pierce a hole in an area where soul power does something wrong. There he will draw out some of his blood and also the soul power that harmed the part.
He took months on each organ carefully circulating the soul power with blood flow in his body. This allowed his body to passively absorb some of the soul power in the blood. Although it's just very minute quantity. But as the saying goes, 1+1=2. He took it slowly and got the soul power in the end. And it's a pitiful quantity. Not more than, Level 1 or barely reaching it.
Yeah, their is kind of underwhelming for a reincarnator. But there is nothing he can do. There is no books or knowledge regarding that at his home, not even a common cultivation distributed by the spirit hall. So how can he created his own soul power increase method without proper reference or anything to start with.
It's already okay, that he used the knowledge from his previous life regarding some cultivation novels and anime to create this method. He named this Serene Breathing Art.
" Haaah, I hope I will get some references to further refine my art and cultivate successfully ", Lin Jian sighed and got down from the mountain. As he entered his house, his parents breathed a sigh of relief making him confused. Then his mother knocked a palm on his head and said," Jian'er, I told you to stay at home for a few days aren't I? Did you ran off to the mountain top again? I told you today will be martial soul awakening ceremony yesterday. Yet you dare to forget about it ".
Lin Jian mind worked gears and only the he remembered his mother spoke to him about this at dinner yesterday but he is in deep thought about the meditation improvement and future that he barely heard and just nodded. But now seeing the fierce look on his parents, he couldn't help but shrink back.
After some scolding, they handed him to the Village Chief who is attracted by the commotion. Village Chief held him firmly refusing to let him go as in a few minutes, A Deacon from Martial Soul hall will arrive here. " Grandpa Li, I won't run anywhere. Believe me and let me go. Your hands are already hurting my shoulders ".
Old Li let Lin Jian go. Lin Jian rubbed his sour shoulders and said," Grandpa Li, are you sure you're an ordinary person? Your strength is more than what a normal man can have ", Old Li just smiled lightly and didn't give him an answer.
As Lin Jian is secretly resenting Old Li for his gorilla grip, soon a lively man arrived and jumped in front of them. He flashed a good smile and said in a loud voice," Old Li, it's been sometime. How are you doing? I heard from some colleagues that you're living a peaceful life. Care to join drinks with me today? ".
Old Li chuckled and said," You brat, I'm old now. This is wha i should be doing. And my strength declined too much. I'm not different than a soul master now. As for drinks, sure, stay in the village for today, we have many things to discuss ".
Lin Jian is surprised that Old Li has connections to soul masters. He didn't see Old Li speaking to someone like this for 5 years. So the village chief must be a retired soul master or grandmaster. And he knew this deacon means he also worked for spirit hall. No wonder he has that iron grip, this must be a cultivator in secret. As Lin Jian is running thoughts in his mind, Old Li and that deacon are chatting happily.
