Me and countless me.

Chapter 611 Subtle Things

"However, in my world, the effect of this save point is not as prominent as in other worlds."

Stroking his chin, Li Ke, who missed the other Li Ke gatherings, felt that his cheat ability was a little useless. It wasn't that it was completely useless to him, but that in his own world, this ability didn't play a significant role.

As a Taoist priest doing odd jobs for the Quanzhen Sect, he was well aware that the martial arts world did not have the same kind of eccentric martial arts and powerful families as Li Ke of Tianlong, nor did it have the kind of martial arts legends that made it hard to resist the urge to complain.

Like Li Ke from The Legend of the Condor Heroes, she is a very simple and ordinary person.

The ordinary martial arts world of The Return of the Condor Heroes.

He exists in this world as an orphan adopted by the Quanzhen Sect, and therefore, after verifying his newly acquired power, he has to get up and sweep the floor.

Although he was raised by the Quanzhen Sect from a young age and worked very hard when practicing external martial arts, he was somewhat more serious than other Li Kes, so he always had a problem when practicing internal martial arts.

What exactly is internal energy?

After all, this thing can make people ignore most of their underlying diseases, and even promote the growth of flesh and blood, reshape nerves and blood vessels to a certain extent, and even regenerate internal organs that are basically impossible to regenerate.

However, when the heart or other parts are damaged, it becomes completely useless, as if internal energy and true qi need to flow in the blood. Some simple disability problems cannot be solved by internal energy.

However, blood vessels and nerves cannot restrict internal energy, because this energy will dissipate.

Moreover, the existence of the dantian is also very subtle, as if it is the only place in the human body that stores internal energy.

At the same time, internal force also exhibits many very subtle physical properties.

When you need him to lift people up, he can lift people up, and even injure people from a distance. When you need him to penetrate matter, he can penetrate matter, as if he could penetrate the molecular layer.

Moreover, how exactly does it originate? Is it from a certain organ, or from a certain posture and physiological response?

As for the talk of Yin and Yang intermingling, plus things like circulation, he could tell at a glance that these were just summaries explaining the phenomena, not the cause of the generation of internal energy.

He didn't understand this at all and wanted to figure out what internal energy was, so he was one of the most enthusiastic people when practicing.

Unfortunately, when Zhao Zhijing, Yin Zhiping and other disciples of three generations were choosing their apprentices, they were judged to have congenitally severed meridians, meaning they would never be able to learn martial arts in their lifetime.

Fortunately, he was a trustworthy person, so he was sent to clean and organize books near the library, and to copy scriptures for high-ranking officials and nobles to pray for blessings.

However, he didn't do nothing. Although he couldn't learn internal energy due to his limited understanding, he still practiced various Taoist books and external martial arts. He also made many guesses and conducted a lot of research, and actually made some progress.

It's just that because of some stubbornness, I haven't focused on cultivating my internal energy.

Therefore, after he gained a great deal of knowledge about Li Ke, all his previous doubts completely disappeared, replaced by a sense of clarity that seemed to have been dispelled.

All the misunderstandings about internal energy and true qi were now confirmed. The differences between his own world and other worlds were also confirmed by the vast amount of knowledge he had acquired, and he understood the truth about the true qi and internal energy in his own world.

"I see, I understand everything now."

Li Ke extended his fingers, not imitating any of the other divine skills he remembered, but instead using his spiritual power to manipulate the life essence within his body, transforming it into internal energy. "Just as I thought, true qi and internal energy are essentially an invasion of the world, a rudimentary expression of personal reality. Only with a firm enough conviction in the existence of 'internal energy' can one acquire it; only by firmly believing that a certain training method will produce a certain effect can one cultivate special attribute internal energy..."

As he spoke, Li Ke picked up a withered leaf. The internal energy in his hand suddenly became extremely hot, and then extremely cold, instantly igniting and freezing the withered leaf, presenting a strange scene of ice and fire.

"However, my body's cultivation ability is really something else, I don't even know how to describe it."

He finally understood why he hadn't been able to learn internal energy cultivation before.

It wasn't because he wasn't determined enough; his limited knowledge wasn't enough to prevent him from learning internal energy. It was simply because of his physical condition.

Although he wasn't truly born with a blocked meridian, he was practically immune to internal energy. The fact that he was able to gather internal energy at this moment was all thanks to the support of Li Ke's spiritual power!

He cultivated a trace of internal energy within his body. As long as it appeared in his meridians, it would be absorbed by his physical body, like a clay ox sinking into the sea. Not a single bit could be released; it was completely absorbed and used to nourish his body.

Moreover, the speed was extremely fast. He didn't even have time to realize that his internal energy would be completely absorbed before it was fully absorbed. Even the true energy of others couldn't escape when it entered his body. Therefore, Li Ke indirectly gained a version of magic immunity in the martial arts world.

Of course, this problem isn't unsolvable through effort; as long as one nourishes their body, they will naturally be able to cultivate internal energy normally. However, after calculating, Li Ke abandoned the method of dietary supplementation.

The reason is simply that it's expensive.

"I need to eat ten eggs, two kilograms of meat, two kilograms of refined rice every day, plus enough fruits and vegetables to supplement trace elements in order to practice martial arts. The nutrients consumed during martial arts practice also need to be supplemented separately... It would be better for me to find some rare and precious herbs."

Li Ke couldn't help but complain. These conditions were basically only achievable by high-ranking officials; even an ordinary county magistrate couldn't guarantee he could eat like this every day in this kind of year. Hoping for that was less desirable than hoping he could get his hands on some wild ginseng or polygonatum!
At least there really are wild ginseng deep in Zhongnan Mountain!

This isn't something money can solve; it's simply that the place he lives in can't possibly have so many people slaughtering livestock every day. In ancient times, there were no refrigerators to preserve food. If a pig wasn't eaten within three days of slaughter, it would really go bad. Only larger county towns could guarantee a daily supply of meat.

In the Quanzhen Sect, eating tofu was considered breaking his fast. Normally, they ate either bean rice or wheat bran cakes. Only the proper disciples of the Quanzhen Sect could eat meat and tofu every meal, plus oily dishes. What was Li Ke? He didn't have a Taoist certificate, and he wasn't even on the Quanzhen Sect's underwater register!

So Li Ke looked towards the depths of Zhongnan Mountain, towards the Tomb of the Living Dead, because if he remembered correctly, Wang Chongyang had put a lot of money inside!

Looking at the Tomb of the Living Dead with Little Dragon Girl in it, Li Ke's thoughts couldn't help but wander.

"Speaking of which, I vaguely remember that Huang Rong from The Return of the Condor Heroes was also on the must-eat list for martial arts novels, and she was much more popular than the young Huang Rong. But now that Yang Guo has been sent here, Huang Rong is quite old..."

Li Ke, holding a broom, swept the fallen leaves in the courtyard and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

However, at this moment, Zhao Zhijing and Yin Zhiping suddenly walked over with a large group of fourth-generation disciples. Zhao Zhijing looked at him with some disdain in his eyes, Yin Zhiping didn't even glance at him, and the fourth-generation disciples started to ridicule Li Ke, some even picking up leaves and throwing them at Li Ke.

Li Ke simply used a broom to block the falling leaves and waited for these people to leave.

But at that moment, a voice suddenly appeared in his mind.

"You were reborn, reborn into your childhood. You saw your elder brother Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, and you inexplicably learned of the decline of the Tang Dynasty. So you decided to change your fate in this life and rebuild a perfect Tang Dynasty..."

Li Ke: "?"
