I Gained a Gallery in the Wild - Eps 25 Breathing Method (1)
In the continent, there are not only disputes about the strongest, but
also many long-standing vs games.
Elves vs Demons
Dogs
vs Cats
Summer vs Winter
West vs East
Among
many such controversies, most are restrained due to potential conflicts between
parties.
Of course, we refrain from them in everyday life, but the
gallery is not so easy.
They'll fight endlessly over which is better
whenever they get the chance.
When things overheat and tip into
outright hatred, the mod personally steps in.
Among all these feuds,
one topic causes the fiercest uproar.
Title: Mana cultivation
technique vs internal energy technique
Vote which seems better
1. Mana cultivation technique: 50%
2. Internal
cultivation technique: 50%
ã„´ How are both at 50%?
ã„´
Everyone knows nothing. Mana Cultivation is better...
ã„´ Nonsense, no
no, what's better about it? lol
ã„´ You’re from the Central Plains,
aren’t you?
ã„´ No? I’m from the Messiah Empire
ã„´ Must be
a noble
ã„´ Knight, not noble lol
Mana cultivation
technique vs internal energy technique.
It's a controversy that's
been going on since ancient times and still ongoing.
Title: The
origin of mana cultivation technique and internal energy technique
It's
generally accepted that it is learned from Aris, the goddess of war and younger
sister of the god of magic, Aragon.
Of the two disciples who received
the teachings, one was in charge of the West, and the other the East.
The West gradually split into several nations, but the East still
maintains the name of the Central Plains.
In truth, Aris had merely
analyzed her brother Aragon’s breathing, so the method is practically Aragon’s
own.
Mythology class over!
ã„´ Is Aris pretty?
ã„´ Crazy bastard lolol Wanna get arrested for blasphemy?
ã„´
It's the gallery anyway lol So is she pretty?
ã„´ Sadly, no record
says so. She always wore a helmet in war.
ã„´ AllFather) In my
research the prevailing view is that she was beautiful.
ã„´ For what
reason?
ã„´ AllFather) The god of magic, Aragon, said this. He said
his sister is a pain in the ass but pretty.
ã„´ Just like real-life
siblings? lmaooo
ã„´ If even her bro called her pretty, that says it
all.
ã„´ Credibility just shot up lolololol
ã„´ AllFather)
They actually fought a lot. When they fought, mountains would fly and seas would
flip over.
ã„´ Dangg (⊙_⊙)
ã„´ As expected of gods ;;
ã„´
AllFather) Each time, the Chief God would slap their backs.
ã„´ So it
was just a sibling fight on a divine scale lmao
ã„´ So human-like
lololol
As in myth, mana cultivation technique dominates the West,
and internal energy technique dominates the Central Plains.
But as
time passed, interesting research emerged.
Title: The West and the
East have different breathing method due to geography.
The
West has numerous dangerous beings above and below (Demons, Elves, etc.), so
they have to raise as many power-houses as possible…
That's why they
spread the easy-to-learn mana cultivation technique as much as possible to
strengthen their forces.
The problem is that because of this, it's
easy for impure people to learn mana cultivation technique.
That's
why when there's a rebellion, there are many cases where farmers defeating
knights ;;
This fragmentation is why the West splintered into many
nations.
On the other hand, the East, or the Central Plains, are in a
situation where the families hold on to internal energy technique.
The
culture is quite conservative and the geography is favorable, so there are no
external or internal problems.
Thus, only insiders teach internal
energy technique, with most peasants going ‘What's that?’
The
academic consensus is that geography led to the divide between the mana
cultivation technique and the internal energy technique.
ã„´ Oh.
Knowledge ty ty ty
ã„´ These days many people in the East use mana
cultivation technique, is it because of exchanges?
ã„´ That’s part of
it, but also because the mana cultivation technique is easy to learn. Though its
depth is lacking.
ã„´ On the other hand, the nobles of the West tend
to use the internal energy technique. To maintain differences.
ã„´ So
the internal energy technique is exclusive to the elite, huh.
ã„´
Yeye, that's about right.
ã„´ Not necessarily. Many knights also
receive internal energy technique training.
Mana cultivation
technique is easy to learn but shallow.
Internal energy technique
method is difficult to learn but have depth.
This is one of the
deeply rooted perceptions for each breathing method.
Actually
half-true, but with many incorrect parts.
Title: Whichever breathing
method suits you is the best
Look at Ash from Messiah Empire. She
reached the pinnacle using only the mana cultivation technique
ã„´
Isn’t that woman just unusual?
ã„´ Yeye, unusual. But if you’re
strong, isn't that the end regardless of the process?
ã„´ Does the
Hero use mana cultivation technique too?
ã„´ I heard that the Hero has
a unique internal energy technique unique to the Holy Kingdom
ã„´ A
strong person is just strong, period.
Whatever it is, strong people
are strong. This is almost like truth.
Nevertheless, it's an issue
involving pride and history between factions, so they can't easily give up.
This is why it turns into a ‘vs game’ whenever there's a chance.
Especially
for mana users, it’s a matter of pride.
Title: Whether it’s mana
cultivation or internal energy, if you got useful tips, drop a like~
Me
first lololol
ã„´ Fr, so many good tips came out lmao
ã„´Thanks
to that, I was stuck but broke through lolol
ã„´ When whales fight,
shrimp benefit lol
ã„´ Hope they keep fighting lolol
That's
why hey often unintentionally give out various tips whenever arguing.
Sometimes
there are trolls, but people tend to filter it out themselves.
Nothing
was as good for emptying one's wallet as breathing methods.
'Oh. Are
they teaching the internal energy technique now?”
Ash, the strongest
in the Messiah Empire and the current stay-at-home guard, was curious.
As
usual, she was rolling around while browsing the gallery.
HeavenlyDemon
began teaching internal energy techniques to Grills. At that time, she just
thought ‘whatever’ and moved on.
The HeavenlyDemon she knew would
never teach internal energy techniques incorrectly. Even if they were a scammer,
it wouldn’t matter.
If Grills make a post ‘HeavenlyDemon is a
scammer!’, the whole truth would be revealed.
Of course, it's
possible that Grills might lack talent, and it's also possible that
HeavenlyDemon doesn't have the aptitude for teaching.
Ash just had to
sit back and watch. That's what she thought at first.
ã„´ WildGrills)
HeavenlyDemon-nim. I did as HeavenlyDemon-nim said and got a nosebleed.
ã„´
HeavenlyDemon) What?!
"What?!"
Just like the
HeavenlyDemon, Ash couldn’t help but be shocked.
Getting a nosebleed
while doing Dantian breathing was not common.
So after probing with
detailed questions, Ash was able to notice.
'Could it be that
The phenomenon Grils experienced was something Ash had gone through
before.
She had the constitution that accumulate mana just by
breathing.
With every breath, several times more mana than normal
gathered in her mana hole (Dantian).
Because of that she, like
Grills, once bled from the nose simply for breathing.
At the time, no
one knew about this fact and just brushed off.
Because such a
phenomenon was unheard of and unseen.
Since it was the most basic of
basics, at first she was thought to have no talent.
But after
overcoming this stage, she was able to achieve tremendous growth.
It
was an experience Ash herself had gone through, so she could affirm it with
certainty.
'Is it real? Really?'
Ash bombarded Grils with
questions.
The more she asked, the more she realized their
constitutions were similar.
However, he weren't exactly the same.
Grills had mana accumulated due to elixirs.
Still, the fact that
massive amounts of mana entered his body with each breath was the same.
‘Is
it because of the Forest of Four Seasons?’
Most likely.
The
Forest of the Four Seasons had mana denseness several or even dozens of times
stronger than other regions.
It was nothing more than a hypothesis
put forth by scholars, but it was highly plausible.
'The existence of
mature Mandrakes proves it already.'
Similar conditions despite
different environments. And so Ash made up her mind. To somehow raise Grills.
Judging
from his actions up until now, his talent isn't all that bad.
More
than that, he has more than enough reasons to get stronger.
A
situation where he has to grab onto even a straw to survive.
‘If he
ends up stronger than me… Hehehe.'
Ash smiled deviously. It's a
feeling she hasn't felt in a long time.
Until now, those she trained
either ended up disappointing her or deserting.
But Grils was
different. He’s in the Forest of the Four Seasons, so there’s no way to
escape.
To escape he must grow strong on his own. Perfect.
'First,
I need to teach him how to break through to the next stage.'
Right
now, Grills’ body is oversaturated.
His body's instinctive defense
mechanism activated when trying to introduce mana in this condition.
So
she was about to teach him a great tip to solve this, until an unexpected
obstacle appeared.
“This person is really suffocating.”
Ash’s
pretty face creased a little.
Her expression was a mix of irritation
and exasperation.
'Does they really need to be so stubborn?'
The obstacle is HeavenlyDemon.
HeavenlyDemon kept
tackling Ash every time she said she would pass down breathing techniques.
It
was close to the nuance of saying Grills was already hers so back off.
'Since they’re from the Central Plains, it's not that I don't
understand...'
People of the Central Plains are extremely sensitive
about the master-disciple bond.
So much so that they say the master
is both a teacher and parent, and the disciple is a child.
In
reality, internal energy technique are secret techniques not passed down except
to those who are trusted.
'That must mean she trusts him that much.'
If she had been stubborn with nonsensical logic, Ash would have
pushed back until the end.
However, HeavenlyDemon refuted it point
by point with quite profound logic.
In the end, Ash chose to take a
step back.
After all, fighting here wouldn’t help Grils anyway.
But
the need to break through remains unchanged. So she made one final proposal.
ã„´
SwordMaster) Then I will pass down my know-how only until Grills can circulate
mana. In the Central Plains, it's called qi circulation, right?
ã„´
HeavenlyDemon) If it's just helping with qi circulation, I have no objection.
But This One shall pass down the subsequent mantras.
ã„´ SwordMaster)
I had no intention of being greedy to that extent either.
She wasn’t
lying. At least not in words. But she had other intentions.
Internal
energy technique method is difficult. Very difficult.
Up to mana
circulation both breathing styles are the same, (Mana circulation = qi
circulation, Qi = mana = energy.)
But the real difference lies in the
mantras that come after.
Unlike the mana cultivation technique, the
internal energy technique contains somewhat philosophical content.
For
example, if the mana training method is about sending mana to a certain place,
the internal energy technique is more complicated than that.
'Water
springing from a valley flowing to the sea… Ugh. So frustrating..'
But
it's not without advantages.
Just as carp in a river grow
differently from carp in a lake, so with breathing methods.
While
the mana cultivation technique has many flaws in 'enlightenment', the internal
energy technique does not.
Since various enlightenments are included
in the mantras, it is easy to advance to the next stage.
ã„´
WildGrills) Is it all the same up to the point of doing mana circulation or
something?
ã„´ HeavenlyDemon) Indeed. But didn't you already send your
internal energy to the middle and upper stages? I heard that earlier.
ã„´
HeavenlyDemon) I don't know about that. But haven't thou already sent internal
energy to thy middle and upper Dantian? I heard as much earlier.
ã„´
WildGrills) I’m not sure about that, but a strange energy did pierce through my
heart and brain, spreading through my whole body. Then it returned to my lower
abdomen.
ã„´ HeavenlyDemon) How peculiar. I don't know if it's a
blessing in disguise, but to be open already. Perhaps thou possess potential
comparable to This One.
ã„´ WildGrills) Does that mean I can shoot
typhoon-level wind palm blasts from my hands too?"
ã„´ HeavenlyDemon)
Oh dear.
"Puhah!"
Ash burst out laughing.
For
HeavenlyDemon to show such a pathetic reaction.
It means Grills is
that much of an oddball.
Still, seeing his positive attitude was
refreshing.
ã„´ HeavenlyDemon) First, it would be good to implement qi
circulation. Listen attentively to the advice of This One and that rough
stone.
ã„´ WildGrills) I will engrave it in my mind.
ã„´
SwordMaster) Surely the rough stone isn't talking about me?
ã„´
HeavenlyDemon) So thou do have a conscience.
Ash had nothing to say.
She nodded inwardly.
But she had no intention of giving up. Sooner
or later, Grills would seek out the mana cultivation technique.
'He'll
definitely say internal energy cultivation is difficult.'
Grills is
an ordinary person. A polite, ordinary person.
By Ash’s scale an
ordinary person, that is a commoner, are people who barely managed to read and
write.
She didn’t know Grills’ exact upbringing, but she was well
aware it wasn’t good.
His parents died in an accident, and he lived
alone. In such an environment, he would have been busy just making a living.
Highly likely he didn't receive proper education. Thus, internal
energy technique would be difficult for him to effectively utilize.
'He
says he comes from another world, but is that really true?'
That
kind of concept is extremely common in the gallery.
If someone
claims they can blow up an entire city with a single bomb, who would believe
that?
ã„´ HeavenlyDemon) Qi circulation is simple. You can think of it
as repeating exactly what you just experienced.
ã„´ SwordMaster) Since
the same phenomenon from earlier could occur, it would be good to take longer
intervals between breaths.
Ash and HeavenlyDemon released tips in
secret comment.
After hearing their advice, Grills must have started
meditating, as he didn’t reply.
That too for a very long time. More
than ten minutes with no comment.
Just as Ash was starting to worry
and was about to leave a comment.
ã„´ WildGrills) Ah. Sry, my stomach
suddenly hurts real bad ;; I'll continue.
ã„´ He really complains
about stomach pain at every opportunity lolol
ã„´ Poop boy lolz
So
it was only needless worry.
Whether his bowels are bad or too good,
this happens quite frequently.
ã„´ HeavenlyDemon) Ideally, endure even
if your stomach hurts. Be careful not to fall into qi deviation.
ã„´
WildGrills) I'll get qi deviation from a bodily function?
ã„´
HeavenlyDemon) Of course. There was once a fool who suffered Qi Deviation just
from asking someone else how to breathe.
ã„´ WildGrills) What the
;;
Seemingly ridiculous, but quite a famous story.
Mana
circulation (qi circulation) requires a high level of concentration.
Concentration
can easily break just from someone speaking to you.
ã„´ WildGrills)
I’ll keep trying then. How long should I do it?
ã„´ HeavenlyDemon)
Until thou feel internal energy circulating throughout thy body.
ã„´
SwordMaster) Just as HeavenlyDemon said.
ã„´ WildGrills) Okay. Thank
you.
Again, there was silence for a long while.
This
time, Ash wasn’t too anxious.
Each round of mana circulation can
take quite a while,
So she figured if she waited patiently, Grills
would eventually reply.
[Title: Is mana circulation normally like
this?]
Until she saw a post in the gallery.
The title was
just so-so, but the author is WildGrills.
Wondering what kind of
problem had occurred now, Ash opened the post.
Title: Mana
circulation is like this?
Author: WildGrills
Every time I
finish one cycle of mana circulation I need to poop so bad. Is this normal?
"...."
Ash
was witnessing a conundrum for the first time in her life.
“…What
kind of nonsense is this?”
HeavenlyDemon shared the same
sentiment.
