"How funny! She doesn't learn from me but you?" Li Yebing looked contemptuously and jeered at Qin Dong.
Qin Dong straightened his neck and laughed, "You're right. I plan to teach elder sister Yexue myself."
"Ha…ha…Are you crazy? You're so feeble, how can you teach her? Don't joke, get the hell out of here."
Qin Dong ignored Li Yebing's mocks and turned around to Li Yexue, "Elder sister Yexue, I can teach you martial arts if you want to learn."
Li Yexue held little confidence in Qin Dong and mumbled, "You?"
Qin Dong answered straightforwardly, "It's me! If you learn from you elder sister, I'm afraid you will be tortured to death before you become a martial artist. Follow me, you'll learn in a relaxing manner and make fast progress. I promise you that you can defeat your elder sister in less than one year."
"Brag pays for nothing. Watch out when you boast without shame!" Li Yebing snorted when hearing Qin Dong's remarks and her face darkened.
Qin Dong neglected Li Yebing and smiled to Li Yexue, "Sister Yexue, I'll teach you a set of methods about inhaling and exhaling the Qi between the heavens and the earth."
"Ha..ha…What a tone! Inhale and exhale the Qi between the heavens and the earth. Ridiculous!" Li Yebing laughed at Qin Dong.
Glaring at Li Yebing, Qin Dong twitched his mouth and yelled, "If you don't want to stay here, get away! Your gruff words are so annoying!"
"You…"Li Yebing was about to burst into rage, but squashed her anger, folded her arms on chest and smiled coldly, "I remain here to see how you'll make a fool of yourself."
"Sister Yexue, let's leave her alone. Come one, follow my example." Qin Dong sat in lotus position on the ground, lifted his palms facing the sky over head, drooped eyelids and looked ahead. He breathed in once and breathed out three times regularly.
"Like this? This looks much easier than the horse stance." Li Yexue followed Qin Dong's example and began to practice.
"Hum! These movements can help to inhale and exhale the Qi between the heavens and the earth? Foolish!"
Useless though Qin Dong was, he came from Clan Qin. At first, Li Yebing thought that Qin Dong knew a little about the martial skills of Clan Qin. What Qin Dong did disappointed her, who was certain that Qin Dong was playing tricks.
After all, Li Yebeing was not that penetrated. Qin Dong's movement seemed to be simple and ludicrous, but it was the easiest way to communicate with the heavens and earth, and breathe in and out the Qi. Qin Dong began his cultivator career from this practice.
Li Yebing's cultivation base did not enable her to feel the spiritual energy between the heavens and the earth. But she found Qin Dong looked different after this movement. Her taunt faded like waves, and surprise gleamed in her eyes.
Now Qin Dong settled down like an old monk with a solemn look. His energy was both as light as a feather and as heavy as mountains. Sometimes it stayed out of the heavens and the earth, but sometimes it integrated with them. The feeling was beyond Li Yebing's description.
"Is the boy really incapable of any martial arts?" Li Yebing doubted in her mind secretively for the first time.
"Xiao Dong, am I right? Why…why I don't feel anything?" Li Yexue had been trying for a while, but felt nothing except her numb arms, which lifted high.
Qin Dong opened his eyes, glanced at Li Yebing and whispered around Li Yexue's ears.
"Ah? So it is. I got your point." Happily, Li Yexue changed her pose, inhaled once and exhaled for three times as Qin Dong instrucuted.
Soon, Li Yexue seemed to getting more and more enjoyable. Coziness and delight etched across her face slowly. Her exhaust evaporated quickly in Li Yebing's gaze. Not long after, Li Yexue's face glowed with health and radiating vigor.
If Li Yeuxue had had a higher cultivation base, she could have found traces of pure and primitive energy left from the heavens and the earth, penetrated her palm and flowed into her body along with her breaths.
Now Li Yexue, a commoner, could not transform the spiritual energy into the one the same as Qin Dong's. The energy only stored in and extended her meridians temporarily. Besides, it refined the impurities inside her body and lay a solid foundation for her future cultivation practice.
