Quick Recap:

For those who forgot about the brown book.

If you guys remember the chapter in which Orochi and Armelia jumped into a pond to escape from a group of wolves.

And accidentally or miraculously or coincidentally, they got transported into a hidden cave.

And in that hidden cave, they came across an old man’s statue. Which, Armelia accidentally broke apart.

But in the broken parts of the statue, they obtained a brown book and two dual cultivation techniques- Posi-Nega-Tive sutra and Nega-Posi-Tive Sutra for Orochi and Armelia each.

And as the couple’s cultivation increases, new information is unlocked in the brown book.

==============

.

In the beginning, the whole process of eroding the greyish layer was slow but it went smoothly, and Orochi was pleased with this result.

Although he had to be fully focused on guiding the spiritual qi which made him feel mentally tired, he felt it was worth it.

But as the layer of greyish layer continued to decrease, it got harder to see progress as time went by.

So, now no matter how hard he tries to erode the remaining greyish layer, there is no result.

‘Looks like I need to make a dangerous move.’

Orochi thought inwardly.

In the brown book, the old man has collected the cultivation experience of many other cultivators, and in that, there are few daredevils/madmen who have taken drastic measures to shorten the cultivation time, and in that, there is also a way to counter the problem that he is facing now.

[Daredevils: Those who don’t fear anything and do things which are very dangerous and make people shudder. Eg, Parkours who jump from building to building.]

Orochi rested for half an hour to recover his mental strength. After resting, he firmed his will,

‘Success or failure will now be determined.’

Taking a deep breath, Orochi closed his eyes and sent his consciousness to his dantian.

Then he gathered spiritual qi and once again covered the dantian with spiritual qi, but this time the amount of spiritual qi that is covering the dantian is almost 10 times more compared to the previous times.

The dantian was now covered with a thick layer of spiritual qi.

It looked as if a dull white pearl was wrapped in a layer of water.

Then Orochi focused on one of the light grey patches sticking to the dantian, then he started guiding the spiritual qi above that patch, such that a small whirlpool was starting to form in that thick layer of spiritual qi and the sharp edge was directed at the grey patch.

The whirlpool slowly got bigger and a huge whirlpool was formed.

The end of the whirlpool touched the grey patch and Orochi put all his efforts to control the whirlpool.

‘Stab’

As soon as the end of the whirlpool touched the grey patch, a stabbing pain hit him but he controlled himself and held back from screaming as it would lead to losing control over the whirlpool and that would do more damage than good.

It felt like some sharp object is poking his internal organ.

But Orochi had to hold back this pain and focus on controlling the whirlpool, or else this whirlpool might truly damage his dantian and cripple his cultivation.

Orochi controlled the whirlpool and slowly moved it across the grey patch.

And the results truly did not disappoint him and made him forget his pain to some extent.

Like a drill or needle, the whirlpool moved across the grey patch and small particles of grey dust particles got separated from the grey patch.

Of course, as the whirlpool moved across the grey patch, he felt as if someone was tattooing his internal organs and it’s a very painful process, but Orochi had to focus on controlling the whirlpool.

Little by little, the size of the grey patch decreased and the white surface of the dantian was coming to the surface.

Thick beads of sweat started forming on his forehead and his face got redder from pain.

Time passed like this.

Seconds passed.

Minutes passed.

…

Finally, some 20 minutes later, Orochi stopped and exhaled a mouthful of impure air. He wiped the sweat and drank a bottle of water.

‘Fuuu...’

He dragged his body to the bed and lay on it.

‘It took so much effort and I just finished cleaning a quarter of my dantian. And that’s not the worst part. The thing that makes it more difficult is every single second felt as if a minute has passed. So, even though only a dozen minutes passed, it felt like a couple of hours has passed. And the pain is also increasing as the amount of greyish layer on my dantian is decreasing.’

‘Not only that, just this ‘Whirlpool technique’ is so painful and difficult, I wonder how difficult that ‘tornado technique’ is?’

The technique that Orochi just now used to remove the greyish patch from his dantian is called the ‘Whirpool technique’.

And there is also another similar method, called as ‘Tornado technique’.

In the tornado technique, there is no need to cover the dantian with spiritual qi, instead, a tornado made of spiritual qi is formed and it acts as a drill to remove the greyish layer covering the dantian.

But this is more dangerous when compared to the ‘Whirlpool technique’.

The reason why it is dangerous is that when the sharp edge of the tornado touches the dantian surface, huge pressure acts on the dantian and dantian is a very delicate thing. So, if the tornado is not controlled properly then the user will damage his own dantian and that will lead to self crippling.

So, many people including Orochi will never adopt this technique unless it was the only choice. Because only a stupid person or a person with an overconfident personality who overestimates themself will use this kind of self-harming technique.

But it also cannot be denied that the principle behind the ‘Tornado technique’ is very unique and useful to activate the dantian.

So based on the principle of ‘tornado technique’, a new efficient and less dangerous technique was created which was called the ‘Whirlpool technique’.

The principle of the Whirlpool technique is to cover the dantian with a thick layer of spiritual qi. This thick layer of Spiritual Qi is used to stabilize the dantian’s structure and help it resist breaking/deforming due to the pressure generated when the whirlpool’s sharp edge touches the dantian.

So, the Whirlpool technique has the advantages of the ‘Tornado technique’ and it has also eliminated the disadvantages of the tornado technique to some extent.
