Zhou Wu and Lin Guanyu were sitting in the presidential suite drinking coffee, while Ao Qianer, Lin Keke and Tian Xiaodong were watching The Spongebob Movie in the small cinema in the presidential suite.
Lin Keke and Tian Xiaodong seemed to be fooled by Ao Qian'er. The three girls were having great fun watching it in the small cinema.
"Guanyu, can you tell me about the divisions of your ancient martial arts training?" Zhou Wu said, taking a sip of coffee.
"Don't you know? Are you in the innate realm?" Lin Guanyu had actually been curious, but he didn't ask directly.
And now, since Zhou Wu took the initiative to talk about this topic, of course he had to find out.
"I'm not in the Xiantian realm. I heard that the Xiantian realm requires connecting the Ren meridian and the Du meridian, but I don't have that."
"Oh." Lin Guanyu sighed, he just said, how could the twenty-year-old Zhou Wu be in the innate realm?
"Well, then I will tell you about the realm levels of ancient martial arts cultivators."
Lin Guanyu didn't hide it, he knew that Zhou Wu was taught by some old Taoist priest, but the old Taoist priest had disappeared long ago, so Zhou Wu did not completely belong to the ancient martial arts circle.
"In China, the levels of ancient martial arts cultivators are divided into external martial arts and internal martial arts."
"External martial arts usually refers to those that purely practice one's physical fitness, such as the cruel Eagle Claw Kung Fu, Iron Gear Kung Fu, Golden Bell Cover and Iron Cloth Shirt. These external martial arts are all Waijia Kung Fu."
"Practicing these foreign martial arts is a very cruel thing, because it has to be cultivated since childhood, and it has to be practiced hard, let's talk about the eagle claws. You have to insert ten fingers in the iron sand and temper them in the sun and the moon. The real eagle claws
Gong, their hands are all deformed."
"Some people have analyzed people who practice Waijia Quan. Very few of those who practice Waijia Quan live long, and after they are fifty years old, they are all suffering from diseases."
"But Neijiaquan is different."
"Neijiaquan is an ancient martial art. It uses the combination of yin and yang to practice internal energy, internal strength, internal energy, etc. Of course, it is also called zhenqi, or internal force, etc. The principles are the same."
"There are no levels in foreign martial arts, but there are levels in ancient martial arts cultivators."
"The primary level of ancient martial arts cultivators is called Qi-nourishing realm, and then it is called Acquired Heaven realm, and after Acquired Heaven realm, it is called Xiantian realm."
"After Xiantian, there is the realm of the Grandmaster; after the realm of the Grandmaster, there is the realm of the Great Grandmaster."
"According to legend, there is a state after the great master, called the unity of heaven and man, also called the 'real person state'."
"This real person realm doesn't mean people, it means people like Zhang Sanfeng, Zhang Zhenren and so on."
"So in summary, there are six realms: nourishing qi, acquired, innate, master, great master, and real person realm."
"Each realm is divided into four stages, namely primary, intermediate, advanced and perfection."
"I am currently a junior acquired student. Coco and Xiaodong have also entered the acquired junior state not long ago. Otherwise, it would be impossible to take the exam. The Nine Departments only recruit those above the acquired state."
Zhou Wu kept listening, and gradually gained a clear understanding in his brain.
It's just...the realms of ancient martial arts cultivators and immortal cultivators are completely different.
Because cultivators only have warm pulse, Qi training, Xiantian, foundation building, consecration, golden elixir, etc.
But this ancient martial arts practitioner did not.
However, ancient martial arts cultivators actually have so many levels of realm.
Xiantian is just the third level. There are masters behind it. There are great masters and real people.
"Then, are there many grandmaster realms? What kind of realm is the real person realm?" Zhou Wu asked curiously.
"I don't know how much the Grandmaster Realm is, but there must be one. I don't know what the True Realm Realm is like, but according to legend, the True Realm Realm no longer exists."
"By the way, you know Yuan Zhenhai, right?" Lin Guanyu whispered: "The realm of innate perfection is very powerful."
"Where is your father? What is his level?" Zhou Wu suddenly asked curiously.
Lin Guanyu smiled and his eyes flashed a little: "Later stage of innateness."
There was a hint of pride in his tone. He had a late congenital father, so the Lin family was well-known in the ancient martial arts circle.
"What about you? What state are you in now?" Lin Guanyu asked again.
Zhou Wu thought for a moment: "I'm probably in the late stage of the Houtian realm, not perfect yet."
"Are there many ancient martial arts families?"
"There are still many. Although martial arts has declined, there are still many ancient martial arts families that have been passed down, including many grand master families. There are also many ancient martial arts sects, and the real great masters all come from those ancient martial arts families.
Wumen Sect.”
Zhou Wu sighed: "I'm sitting in a well and looking at the sky. I never knew that there was an ancient martial arts family in China before."
Lin Guanyu shook his head: "That's because you haven't been exposed to this circle. If you were, you wouldn't be surprised. Practicing ancient martial arts also requires eating, drinking, and contact with society. If you want to make greater progress, you also need more money.
That’s all.”
"There is a saying among cultivators that 'wealthy couples practice the land'. If you want to practice to a higher level, you must first rely on huge financial support. Otherwise, how can you become powerful simply by relying on inherited techniques and the like?
"
"Then what are you using the money for?" Zhou Wu asked puzzledly.
"Of course, you need to buy resources for training. For example, some precious medicinal materials are helpful for training, and some high-quality jade can also be used for training."
"Also, there is a place called Yaowang Valley in the ancient martial arts circle. Every year, Yaowang Valley puts out a certain amount of elixirs for public auction. They are very expensive, with tens of millions, hundreds of millions, or even more than one billion worth of treasures.
Dan has it all.”
"So think about it, how can you do it without money?"
"Yao Wang Valley? Is there such a sect for practicing alchemy?" Zhou Wu said in surprise.
"Of course, and the next auction in Yaowang Valley will be on the 30th of this month. If I have time then, I will take you there with me."
"Oh?" Zhou Wu's eyes lit up: "Where is the auction?"
"This year is the Jiade Auction House in Xiangdao. My father will go there, and many people from the entire Chinese ancient martial arts circle will go there."
"Xiang Island." Zhou Wu frowned: "Do I still need to apply for a pass?"
"Isn't that difficult to handle? There is still time now, and it will be done by the end of the month."
"That's right, then I'll go see the world with you." Zhou Wu was a little moved. Although he didn't belong to Gu Wu, he could still be considered a member of this circle, right?
And Yaowang Valley can refine elixirs, so is Yaowang Valley a sect of cultivating immortals?
So it would be a good idea to go see the world at that time.
"Xiao Wu, let me declare in advance that if I am admitted to the exam, I cannot take you there, but I can let you follow my father."
"Haha, I forgot. You are going to take the ninth examination. If you are admitted then, you will no longer be free."
"But...why do you want to enter the ninth place?" Zhou Wu asked curiously.
"There are benefits to entering the Nine Places."
Lin Guanyu whispered: "If I can enter the ninth place, I will be an official, my Lin family will also benefit from me, and I will have greater room for improvement."
"The Nine Divisions provide training resources, and elixirs and the like will be provided."
"That's it." Zhou Wu frowned.
In this era of depleted resources, if someone can provide them with training resources, they naturally have to squeeze in.
Moreover, once Lin Guanyu enters, the Lin family will definitely rise, and those who want to bully the Lin family and spy on the Lin family will also restrain themselves.
