Chen Anian carried two buckets of water and returned to the top of the mountain. The master and three senior brothers were already waiting.
"We have to go earlier in the future, how can we keep the master waiting?" Xia Longque said.
"I know, Third Senior Brother." Chen Anyian smiled and poured water into the water jar.
Xu Shouqiao patted Chen Anyian on the shoulder and said, "Don't listen to your third senior brother, you have already performed very well today."
The water is ready,
The five people from Shouzhuofeng all stood in a row, washing their faces and gargling their mouths...
Xu Shouqiao was carrying a basin of water to make breakfast.
When Chen Anyian looked at the countless rice grains in the bowl, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Xia Longque lamented, "Hey, it turned out that the four of us couldn't eat enough, and now we have to share it evenly. It's terrible."
"Eat quickly and start your morning class after eating." The master said in a pretentious manner.
Xia Longque stopped talking, because after all, it still takes two or three mouthfuls to drink porridge.
Yes, just two or three bites.
There was no breath for ten breaths before and after.
Before Chen Anyian had time to pick up the bowl, the master and his three brothers had already finished the porridge in the bowl.
After the other three people left, Xu Shouqiao took out a plate of tofu with green onions from the kitchen and patted Chen Anyian on the shoulder, "After eating, I'll wait for you on the rock cliff on the mountainside behind."
Chen Anyian hurriedly swept the tofu into his mouth, then drank the porridge and took the bowl to wash.
Arriving at Shiya,
Senior Brother is already waiting there.
"Come on, show me the boxing you've practiced first."
Chen Anian followed his instructions and punched out all the boxing techniques written on the remaining pages of the golden book.
Xu Shouqiao was surprised, "It turns out that my junior brother already has a solid foundation in boxing skills. He is indeed very good!"
"Senior Brother, I've given you the award." Chen Anian said sheepishly.
If he didn't have the remaining pages of the golden book, he would be a scumbag.
"I'm afraid my junior brother has many questions about cultivation. But first, we need to know what kind of warrior is worthy of entering the martial arts?" Xu Shouqiao asked.
Chen Anian was stunned for a moment, a little unsure, "One against ten thousand? Ten thousand against the enemy, take the head of a general?"
Xu Shouqiao smiled and said: "What you said is correct, but it's not right either."
"Martial arts is all-encompassing, but there is one fundamental rule, which is to pursue the limits of the human body."
"How big is the limit of human beings? No one can tell. Some people may reach their limit when facing ten enemies; some people can enter and exit seven times even if they face ten thousand people; and some people can fly into the sky and escape
The earth, with one punch, the mountains and rivers collapsed."
"Martial arts is the pursuit of turning limited power into unlimited power."
"Fighting and killing are not all of martial arts."
Chen Anian vaguely understood something, "What does senior brother mean, is martial arts actually a process of pursuing the truth?"
Xu Shouqiao's eyes suddenly lit up, "Yes, pursuing the truth and pursuing limits that may never be reached, this is the way of martial arts!"
"Junior brother, you are very understanding."
"Although martial arts is a never-ending process, it also has realms."
Xu Shouqiao raised a finger and said, "The first great realm is called the Three Realms of Qi and Blood!"
"The three realms of qi and blood, as the name suggests, are divided into three levels. The first level is Qian Qian; the second level is Hua Jin; and the third level is Gang Jin."
Chen Anyian quickly asked: "Senior Brother, what are the differences between these three realms? Why not separate them separately, instead of summing them up in the three realms of Qi and Blood?"
Xu Shouqiao was very satisfied with Chen Anyian's reaction. Many people only accept unconditionally when practicing cultivation, but never think about it themselves.
But this little junior brother of mine has a very lively mind.
He smiled and explained, "These three realms are actually three different stages manifested when cultivating Qi and blood."
"Because the difference is very obvious, but they are all about cultivating Qi and blood, so they are included together and called the three realms of Qi and blood."
"But you can just call the small realms directly. They are integrated together to make it easier for us to find the context of cultivation."
"Those who only focus on small things will not be able to see clearly the way forward; only by looking at the big picture, knowing the overall context, and then studying every step, can we go long and steadily."
Chen Anian suddenly realized that he had never expected that there were so many ways to distinguish realms.
Xu Shouqiao smiled and said,
"When you practice the three realms of Qi and Blood and reach the Gangjin realm, you can release your inner energy outwards. With one punch, an ordinary steel plate will be penetrated."
"Opening the three realms, opening the acupoints in the body, transforming the internal energy into energy, and combining the connections between the acupoints, it can be punched with a force of hundreds of thousands of kilograms."
"The last level of the three realms of bone forging is called the golden body realm. At this level, the bones in the whole body are as if they are made of steel, and it is easy to cut mountains and rivers."
"Further back to the Dao Palace, Fu Hai has power that is unimaginable to ordinary people."
"And the three realms of Jindan..."
Speaking of this, Xu Shouqiao's face showed a hint of fascination.
"This realm is known as the limit of human power. Flying into the sky, escaping from the earth, and turning over rivers and seas are not enough to describe his power."
Chen Anyian listened and had only one idea in his mind.
Isn’t this a humanoid nuclear bomb?
No, it's more powerful than a humanoid nuclear bomb!
But, can this really be achieved through cultivation?
Incredible!
Xu Shouqiao laughed and said, "The road to martial arts is vast and boundless. The golden elixir is known as the limit of human power. But above the golden elixir, I heard that there is another vast world. Even I don't know what it is called."
"If junior brother has a chance in the future, he must become a being above the golden elixir. When the time comes, he will also open the eyes of senior brother."
"Today, we mainly talk about the three realms of qi and blood."
As he spoke, Xu Shouqiao shook his left arm, and Chen Anyian heard the sound of fried beans crackling.
"The most remarkable characteristic of Li Qian is that the muscles and bones are working together. After practicing to this level, the strength can reach a thousand catties, and the Qi and blood can be considered to be fully trained."
Xu Shouqiao punched the stone next to him, and Chen Anian clearly saw a punch mark on the stone.
"A strength of one thousand catties is already considered very powerful for ordinary people, but it is not enough."
"So there is a second realm, transforming energy."
Xu Shouqiao made a simple punching movement.
Chen Anyian immediately felt the temperature around him rising.
The elder brother seemed to have turned into a furnace, burning brightly.
"This is transforming energy, where qi and blood are transformed into internal energy. But how is qi and blood transformed into internal energy?"
Xu Shouqiao suddenly asked.
Chen Anian was caught off guard. This was already a blind spot in knowledge, so he could only shake his head helplessly.
"Why do you think my body temperature is so high? It has even affected the surrounding temperature? Ordinary people would have been burned into idiots long ago."
Xu Shouqiao reminded.
If you are not angry, you will not be inspired; if you are not angry, you will not be angry.
When teaching cultivation methods, you cannot impose them all at once, otherwise you will not be able to achieve anything famous.
You have to think for yourself. When you have nothing to think about, you need to give guidance. Only in this way can you learn something.
"High temperature changes energy..." Chen Anian suddenly had an idea in his head, but he couldn't say it out, "High temperature causes energy to change?"
"It seems that my junior brother has some ideas." Xu Shouqiao laughed and said, "High temperature is a way to convert energy."
"The stronger the Qi and blood, the stronger the power. So if we continue to condense the Qi and blood, the power will naturally become stronger."
"So the ancients came up with a way. Treat the qi and blood as wine pulp and cook it at high temperature. The higher the temperature and the longer the time, the thicker the wine pulp will naturally be."
"Hua Jin is the product of boiling Qi and blood with body temperature and thickening it."
When Xu Shouqiao said this vividly, Chen Anyian suddenly understood.
What kind of magical idea is this?
Is this a cultivation method really thought up by humans?
Aren't you afraid of practicing to death?
He seemed to be aware of Chen Anyian's thoughts.
Xu Shouqiao said, "So this stage will be a threshold. Many people practice blindly and diligently, and eventually their heads are burned out and they become idiots."
"Can't you practice hard?" Chen Anian's heart skipped a beat.
"Martial arts is not the way of a reckless man." Xu Shouqiao laughed and said, "A martial artist's biggest enemy is actually himself."
"To be precise, it's an injury."
"When practicing martial arts, you always need to practice boxing or other external skills, which can easily lead to soreness of the skin and muscles. If you practice too much and practice blindly, you will also injure your muscles and bones, and in severe cases, you may suffer fractures or even internal bleeding."
"You said, after practicing like this, wouldn't the person be useless?"
Xu Shouqiao asked.
"What should we do?" Chen Anyian was puzzled.
Doesn’t practicing martial arts mean being diligent?
Why is it wrong to be diligent?
"So for warriors, skills are important, and elixirs are also important."
"The technique determines the direction, and the elixir determines how far you can go."
"Use elixirs to repair various hidden wounds in the body, so that you can keep moving forward."
"Some people say that to practice martial arts, you have to keep smashing rocks and hitting walls with your head. This is misleading."
"Practicing too hard will only make you die faster."
When Xu Shouqiao said this, he couldn't help but be filled with emotion.
Chen Anyian always felt that something was wrong.
Practicing martial arts, why is it so healthy?
But fortunately, although the style of painting is wrong, I have supernatural power and there is no problem in repairing hidden wounds. I just have to be reckless.
Compared to others, I have an incredible advantage.
Xu Shouqiao went on to say, "The third realm is Gang Jin. At this level, internal energy can leave the body."
Xu Shouqiao punched out as he spoke, and the stone in front of Chen Anyian instantly broke into several pieces.
Chen Anian was shocked.
hidden weapon!
"This realm is actually about controlling the pores so that the internal energy can be emitted from the pores, thus forming Gang Jin."
"As for how to control pores, have you ever seen a cat with hair all over its body? Or when taking a hot bath, it suddenly turns to cold water; and..."
Xu Shouqiao suddenly snapped his fingers, and Chen Anyian instantly felt a chill on the back of his head, followed by goosebumps that went down his back.
"Do you feel it? This is your natural reaction, but we have to make this natural reaction man-made and controllable."
Chen Anyian felt that his outlook on life had been refreshed.
It turns out that there are so many ways of cultivation hidden in things that I didn’t pay much attention to before.
If there is no one to guide you, who can practice it?
Although the senior brother is dressed as a farmer, he is surprisingly good at imparting cultivation knowledge.
From big to small, from shallow to deep, it also combines inspiration and experiential teaching.
This is a real famous teacher!
Chen Anyian felt that his eyes suddenly became enlightened.
Shouzhuofeng looks broken, but it is full of essence.
"You can continue to practice your own boxing now. It is very suitable for your current practice. I will write about the breathing method for you later." Xu Shouqiao patted Chen Anyian's shoulder.
"Next, go to Wangshan Pavilion. Your second senior brother will be waiting for you there."
Chen Anian quickly bowed and saluted, "Thank you, Senior Brother."
"Go." Xu Shouqiao chuckled.
When we arrived at Wangshan Pavilion, the second senior brother was already sitting there, shaking his fan.
"I've met Second Senior Brother." Chen Anian saluted.
"Sit down." Shen Chunqiu motioned to Chen Anyian not to be formal, "How are you learning from senior brother?"
"I have benefited a lot." Chen Anyian said truthfully.
Shen Chunqiu smiled and shook his head and said, "I said that senior brother is more suitable to be a teacher than me, but in the end he decided to be a farmer and said that he would not have to go hungry in the future."
"I won't teach you specific methods of cultivation here, just treat it as a chat."
"Today, let's talk about... this world!"
"The world?" Chen Anyian thought thoughtfully.
Shen Chunqiu drew a picture on the table, "This is Qingshan Sect, surrounded by three cities. These three cities, together with the other seven cities, form Ding'an County."
"There is Ding'an Mountain next to Ding'an County, facing Tianmen County across the mountain. These two counties, together with the other eight counties, form Baiyang Mansion."
Chen Anyian couldn't help but swallowed.
"A mansion... so big?"
Shen Chunqiu nodded, "I haven't been too specific yet. After all, to be qualified to be called a city, the first criterion is that the population exceeds one million."
"So you can see that one land can control a population of over 100 million!"
Chen Anyian was shocked and couldn't help but ask: "What kind of existence does it take to control a mansion?"
"Seventh rank." Shen Chunqiu continued to draw outwards, "The Qingshan Sect is at the ninth rank, which is similar to a city. The next higher level is the eighth rank, which can control a county, and then the seventh rank, which can control a mansion."
"Ten prefectures form one country, and the country we are in is called the country of Dai."
Chen Anian counted on his fingers and found that it had a population of at least one billion, "Dai Guo? It should be very powerful, right?"
"Powerful?" Shen Chunqiu sneered, "Dai is the weakest country among the ten countries in Cangzhou and is always in danger of being annexed."
"Both the Tiansheng Sect in the west and the Yun Kingdom in the south are eyeing Dai Kingdom."
Chen Anyian felt that his outlook on life was completely ruined.
A country with such a vast land and such a large population is actually a small country that can be annexed at any time?
So the concept of a small country is a bit too broad, right?
If we were on Earth, wouldn't they all be small countries?
No, some estimates don't even count counties.
Chen Anian discovered a blind spot, "Second Senior Brother, why is the west not called Guo? Instead it's called Tiansheng Sect?"
"Because the Tiansheng Sect controlled a country and found it too troublesome to run a country, they simply canceled the country title and included the entire country within their own sect's sphere of influence."
"Rule one side in the form of a sect."
Shen Chunqiu replied.
Chen Anyian no longer knows what language to use to describe it.
Before, he thought Qingshan Sect was already very big.
After all, there are more than a dozen hills on the Miscellaneous Peak alone, and there are seventy-two hills on the outer gate.
As a result, the Tiansheng Sect directly ruled over a billion people.
Simply incredibly tough.
Chen Anyian, who was extremely shocked, did not notice the disdain on Shen Chunqiu's face when he mentioned Tiansheng Sect.
…
After refreshing his outlook on life from his second senior brother, Chen Anyian returned to the top of the mountain, where his third senior brother Xia Longque was waiting with an unhappy look on his face.
"Here, here they are for you." The third senior brother carefully took out two porcelain bottles from his arms.
"This is a Qi and Blood Pill, specially used to replenish Qi and blood. There are ten pills in it. Senior Brother should have told you that during the energy-transforming stage, Qi and blood are severely consumed. If you are not careful, you will become anemic, and some will even suffer from sudden bleeding.
die."
"The other one is a protective pill, which can treat hidden injuries in the muscles of the body. As for the injuries on the bones, it can only be said to be better than nothing. It is barely enough for the three realms of qi and blood. There are also ten pills in it."
Xia Longque took out another porcelain bottle from his sleeve with a pained look on his face, "This is the Ice Pill. It prevents the body temperature from being too high and burning people when they are in the state of energy transformation."
"You kid, save your money. When practicing, you can go to the deep pool at the foot of the mountain to practice. When the heat is unbearable, you can use the Ice Extract Pill. There are only three pills in it."
Saying that, Xia Longque quickly stuffed three porcelain bottles into Chen Anyian's arms.
Then he left directly.
"I won't fight today, I'm in a bad mood."
Chen Anian held three bottles of elixirs in his arms. Although the third senior brother looked impatient and had a very bad attitude, he felt warm in his heart.
Unlike Lu Zhongmu who tried every means to kill himself.
These pills were prepared by my senior brother to help him practice.
Now that the conditions for guarding Zhuofeng are so poor, you will know what buying these elixirs will mean for guarding Zhuofeng.
"Thank you, Third Senior Brother!"
Chen Anyian shouted loudly to Xia Longque.
"Thank you so much, I'll beat you to death tomorrow!"
