In the early morning, a thin mist hung in the air, and the sea roared noisily, waves undulating, tides rising and falling, harmonious and tranquil.
The deep ink-blue sky slowly brightened with a hint of dawn's light creeping in from the eastern horizon.
The stars were about to fade, while all living creatures brimmed with vigor, gathering energy for the new day.
Li Quanqing lay in his cave mansion in a peculiar posture, similar to a large turtle resting, his breathing so faint as to be nearly imperceptible, with warm currents flowing throughout his body.
Clearly, he was practicing the Turtle Longevity Extending Technique, as the Turtle Breath Qi within him slowly grew stronger, nurturing his very origin.
When the sun rose above the sea of clouds, its warmth touching his skin, separating purity from impurity, Li Quanqing finally emerged from his prolonged meditative state.
He stretched himself, emitting a comfortable resonant hum from his chest.
