CHAPTER 1176: CHAPTER 1175: TURTLE BREATHING TECHNIQUE

When Wen Xin’s shift ended, Ye Qiu and she changed out of her nurse uniform and put on her regular clothes, leaving the Affiliated Hospital and getting into the car. Ye Qiu planned to take her out for dinner.

"What do you want to eat?"

"Anything is fine."

Wen Xin didn’t have high demands for food, usually eating work meals at the hospital canteen.

"Now that it’s getting cold, let’s have hot pot!"

Ye Qiu drove to a nearby hot pot restaurant, and upon arriving at the entrance, Ye Qiu and Wen Xin went inside. A waitress led them to a table and asked, "Hello, is it for two?"

"Yes."

Wen Xin replied.

The waitress handed the menu to Wen Xin, who passed it to Ye Qiu. Ye Qiu ordered a clear soup first and then let Wen Xin choose some vegetables and other items.

After the waitress left, Ye Qiu’s phone rang. It was a call from Chen Fang.

"Mom, I’m eating out with a friend."

Ye Qiu thought his mother was calling to ask him to come home for dinner.

"Your dad passed the driving test’s third stage, and we’re planning to call you home to celebrate. Since you’re out with friends, come back after you finish eating."

Ye Qiu didn’t expect Ye Weidong to actually pass the third stage of the driving test, which meant only the fourth stage was left. As long as he mastered those multiple-choice questions, he’d likely pass and get his license.

"Mom, I have something to do later, I’ll come back later."

After hanging up with Chen Fang, Ye Qiu looked at Wen Xin and said, "My dad just passed the driving test’s third stage, my mom called to invite me home for a celebration."

"That’s how it is, we could’ve just had dinner at your place directly."

Wen Xin chuckled.

However, Wen Xin had been to Ye Qiu’s villa before, but rarely visited. So she felt a bit awkward facing Ye Qiu’s parents and sister.

"I’ll take you over next time."

When the waitress brought the clear soup and other dishes, Wen Xin and Ye Qiu started talking about hospital matters.

Ye Qiu seldom visited the Affiliated Hospital, only going now because he was treating Xia Jing’s illness.

Of course, Ye Qiu might frequent the hospital over the following days because the Witch Gu culprit wasn’t caught yet. He intended to see if pretending Xia Jing was dead would lure the culprit out.

As the clear soup began to boil, Ye Qiu and Wen Xin started eating hot pot.

Until around eight in the evening, both were full.

Initially, Wen Xin wanted to take a walk with Ye Qiu before returning, but Ye Qiu had something to do later, so he had to send Wen Xin back to her dorm at the Affiliated Hospital.

"Wen Xin, I have something to do later."

"Then you go ahead."

Ye Qiu hadn’t forgotten his promise to Akino.

After Ye Qiu called the waitress to settle the bill and went outside, they got back in the car, and Ye Qiu drove Wen Xin to the girls’ dormitory, watched her go inside, and then drove to the Jin University Campus.

Arriving at the men’s dormitory, Ye Qiu parked the car and checked the time; it was already 8:40 p.m., 20 minutes away from nine o’clock.

Ye Qiu then got out of the car and walked toward the foot of Zijin Mountain.

Now that evening had grown a bit chilly.

By then, Akino and two other members of his Fujian association, also students from Fusang, had already arrived in advance.

However, the trio was unsure whether Ye Qiu would really come.

"Akino President, do you think he’ll come?"

"Since he said, then surely he’ll come."

Akino felt Ye Qiu had no need to deceive him. The real issue was whether the cultivation technique Ye Qiu would teach him was truly as powerful.

That was the most important.

Indeed, as the trio saw a young man in regular clothes approaching, looking rather ordinary, they recognized him as that Ye Qiu.

"Master Ye, we’re over here."

Akino shouted.

Seeing these three Fusang people, Ye Qiu’s expression remained unchanged.

"Did you wait long?"

"Not very long, about half an hour."

Akino replied.

"This Inner Strength, I can teach you. But you must persistently practice for at least ten years before it’ll be effective."

"Ten years?"

The other two Fusang people were scared upon hearing it.

After all, life doesn’t have many ten-year spans, and if there’s no effect after ten years, wouldn’t it be a waste?

"I can do it."

Akino stated.

"Turtle School Qigong is only a name I’ve given it. In reality, it’s Huaxia’s Turtle Breathing Technique. Besides making Inner Strength very strong, it also enhances longevity."

"Really? That’s wonderful!"

Akino and the others were extremely excited upon hearing this. After all, who wouldn’t want increased longevity?

Without any nonsense, Ye Qiu directly taught them the Breathing Qigong Method.

After teaching them, he said: "That’s it, you don’t need to call me master or anything else. Whether you succeed depends on your individual selves."

The trio exchanged glances, surprised by Ye Qiu’s generosity.

When they wanted to thank Ye Qiu, they found he was already gone.

Ye Qiu shook his head, seeing them as such.

If practiced well, the Turtle Breathing Technique indeed worked, but mostly as much as Tai Chi, so however well these three trained was up to them.

Returning to the men’s dormitory, Ye Qiu didn’t enter but got back in the car and drove straight to the Peach Blossom Source Villa Community.

After parking at the villa entrance, entering, he saw his parents and sister were all there, especially Ye Weidong, whose face was slightly flushed, clearly having drunk.

"Only back now?"

Ye Weidong asked.

"Dad, I just finished some things."

Ye Qiu went upstairs, took a shower, then returned to his room, played games for a while, then shut off the computer to continue cultivation.

These days, because of various matters, he couldn’t devote himself to cultivation, making him delay practicing.

Nevertheless, Ye Qiu felt he was gradually changing, unlike before, when he was eager to cultivate quickly and ascend to the Heavenly Court Imperial Medical Bureau to find Su Luoluo.

But now Ye Qiu realized that living in the mortal world was actually quite good.

Thus, he no longer pushed himself too hard to cultivate and breakthrough.

He opened his eyes at past seven in the morning, realizing it was Thursday and Friday was tomorrow, always feeling time flew by.

Getting up, he washed up and dressed, went downstairs, to see only Chen Fang and Ye Weidong.

Ye Xue had yet to take the second driving test stage, so would definitely continue practicing.

As for Ye Weidong, having passed the third stage, now had time to study for the fourth.

"Sis, aren’t you going to practice driving?"

"Yes, I’m getting ready to test soon."

Ye Xue replied.

If she had her own car, it would be much more convenient to go to the Imperial Cuisine Restaurant often.
