From a beggar on South Street to the supreme devil

Chapter 30 The Great Dream Heart Sutra
In the bedroom.

Jiang Chen looked at the bamboo slips in his hand.

In the light of candlelight, the densely packed words on the bamboo slips are clearly visible.

Jiang Chen pondered over it carefully.

Time passed slowly, and half an hour later, he finally finished reading the contents of the bamboo slips.

This "Heart Sutra of the Great Dream" is a practice method for Qigong practitioners, but it seems to have undergone some "localized" modifications.

Jiang Chen knew that Qi training did not improve physical fitness in the early stages.

Therefore, ordinary Qi cultivators in Qingming Continent are all very weak in the early stages.

And this Qi-refining technique seems to retain the possibility of practicing martial arts and tempering the body.

This is obviously the result of the Qi-refining tradition being integrated with martial arts over a long period of time after it came to Jiulongzhou.

In other words, even if Jiang Chen is a warrior, he can also practice this technique.

As for why the middle-aged Qi Refiner's body was so weak, not even bronze skin...

I think it’s because his talent in martial arts is too poor.

After all, in Jiulongzhou, martial arts has always been the most powerful and orthodox path.

If one has talent in martial arts, no one would consider the path of a weak Qi-refining practitioner in the early stages of practice.

It is recorded in the "Nine Dragon Continent Records" that many Qi Refiners in the territory of Nine Dragon Continent had to become Qi Refiners because of their poor martial arts talents...

Jiang Chen flipped through the bamboo slips.

This "Great Dream Heart Sutra" is a practice of refining Qi in dreams, which can directly lead from the first level of Qi refining to the ninth level of Qi refining.

After a Qi Refiner enters the first stage of Qi Refining, the "spiritual energy" he cultivates will gradually give rise to various abilities.

For example, abilities such as "health maintenance", "illusion", and "condensation of truth".

"Health care" can heal physical injuries through "spiritual energy".

"Ningzhen" is like what the middle-aged Qigong practitioner did tonight, condensing seven black snake-like air masses to attack.

And "illusion" can transform "aura" into illusory scenes and things to confuse others.

This "Great Dream Heart Sutra" is a Qi-refining technique that is extremely good at performing "illusions".

This is probably also the reason why the White Lotus Sect is good at misleading others.

Jiang Chen pondered in his heart.

When I was fighting with that middle-aged Qi-refining master tonight, the white mist that filled the surroundings should be a kind of "illusion".

However, "illusion" can only confuse the enemy, but cannot directly kill the enemy.

The middle-aged Qigong practitioner thought that Jiang Chen was just a bronze-skinned warrior.

So, underestimating his enemy, he only used his "Condensation" ability, hoping to kill Jiang Chen quickly.

However, he didn't expect Jiang Chen to be a wooden warrior, and he died on the spot under Jiang Chen's stick.

Otherwise, if this person used "illusion", Jiang Chen might have to work harder to kill him.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen pondered in his heart.

It looks good... and it doesn’t take up any time. You just need to practice at night and treat it as sleeping.

Apart from anything else, this ability to "keep fit" is very useful.

In the future, if I get injured, or suffer hidden injuries while practicing martial arts, I can use this ability to repair my body.

Moreover, the "illusion" of the "Great Dream Heart Sutra" combined with his own [Subduing Tiger Stick Technique] might also be able to produce unexpected effects.

For example, a long iron stick can be split into multiple stick shadows to confuse the enemy.

Or they could create an illusion of themselves in battle, achieving the effect of "clone" or even "multiple clones"...

Jiang Chen's heart moved slightly, and he felt that there was something going on.

But he was still a little unsure whether this thing would have an impact on martial arts after practicing it.

After all, I still have to focus on practicing martial arts. If practicing this thing has an impact on martial arts, I must give it up.

Besides, this is the practice of the evil White Lotus Sect after all, so it is still unclear whether there are any backdoors or dangers.

Jiang Chen put down the "Great Dream Heart Sutra" for the time being, and then checked the bottle of elixir he got from the Qi Refiner.

Slightly open the cork and a rich medicinal aroma will waft out.

Just smelling the fragrance, Jiang Chen's blood and energy began to stir.

This pill seems to be able to replenish the qi and blood in the body... Jiang Chen thought about it and decided to put it away first.

The effect of this pill is unknown, so you shouldn't try it rashly.

I'll go see Old Man Feng later.

Old man Feng is knowledgeable and has an extraordinary background. He should be able to help him judge the situation of these two things.

……

By this time the sky in the east was already turning white.

Jiang Chen had been busy all night and although he was a little sleepy, his body of wood and flesh was strong enough to support him to continue moving.

Leaving the courtyard, he headed for the nameless bookstore east of Shun'anfang.

Step into the entrance.

At this moment, Old Man Feng was sitting in front of the counter, copying something attentively.

Jiang Chen walked closer and saw that the old man was copying the book he wrote, "The Secret of Doorman Mr. Qin and the Sect's Saint Girl".

Jiang Chen asked in surprise: "Why are you copying it again?"

Old Man Feng raised his head and glanced at Jiang Chen: "Boy, can't you read what you wrote again? There are so many typos!"

"Besides, your handwriting is really ugly!"

Jiang Chen: "..."

He did seem to have rushed the work in order to deal with the old man.

Old Man Feng waved his hand and said, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Jiang Chen took out the copy of "The Great Dream Heart Sutra" and the bottle of elixir and placed them on the counter.

"Grandpa, can you help me see if these two things can be used?"

Old Man Feng first picked up the pill, uncorked the bottle, and took a quick sniff.

Then he casually said, "Qi and Blood Nourishing Pills can heal injuries and replenish Qi and blood. One pill is about one or two taels of silver. You can take as much as you want."

Jiang Chen's eyes lit up.

Each of these pills costs one tael of silver, and there are at least fifty of them here, so that means fifty taels of silver? !

Old Man Feng put the cork back in, put the medicine bottle down, then opened the bamboo slips beside him and took a look.

"This is the White Lotus Sect's original technique, right? Do you want to practice it?"

Jiang Chen nodded: "Anyway, we practice at night, so it won't interfere with our martial arts practice. I'm just worried about whether there are any risks in the White Lotus Sect's skills."

Old Man Feng waved his hand and said, "If you want to practice, then practice. It's just an early stage exercise book, it won't be a problem."

"Don't even mention you. Many martial arts geniuses in major sects will assist the practitioners in their cultivation techniques."

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned when he heard this, and asked curiously: "Why is this?"

Old Man Feng explained: "Whether in the early, middle or late stages, martial arts is the most balanced and powerful path, but the only flaw is that there is no means of self-healing in the early stages."

"And the 'health-preserving' method of the Qigong practitioners can just make up for the lack of healing methods in the early stages of martial arts."

"You practice this technique. In the future, as long as you can cultivate the first or second level of Qi Refining, you can heal yourself when you get injured. That's pretty good."

Old Man Feng paused here and emphasized seriously: "However, warriors naturally still focus on martial arts."

"When a warrior practices Qigong, it is essentially a means of self-defense. Remember not to put too much thought into it."

Jiang Chen nodded to show that he understood.

Whether it is martial arts or Qi training, they are both profound and extensive paths to heaven.

And since he is already in the martial arts world, Jiang Chen naturally understands the principle of biting off more than he can chew.

After learning the situation from Old Man Feng, Jiang Chen picked up the bamboo slips and medicine bottle and prepared to leave.

Old Man Feng looked up, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but speak: "If you have time, remember to write something more for me. None of your three books are finished!"

"Next time definitely!"

Jiang Chen shouted, and then left quickly.

Old Man Feng looked at his gradually departing back with a strange look in his eyes.

"This kid has become numb so quickly..."
