After a hundred years of ringing the bell, I became the ancestor of the sect

Chapter 4 Sense of Qi
Li Qian suppressed his inner excitement and focused his attention on the energy. He did not stop moving his hands and feet and continued to practice slowly.

The hot feeling became more and more intense.

Once, twice, three times.
He didn't stop until the energy gradually weakened and finally turned into just a little bit of feeling.

As long as he closed his eyes and carefully felt the area below his navel, he could feel a slight sensation of heat.

That is the Qi seed.

This means that he not only generated the Qi sense, but also stabilized the Qi seed.

According to Master Song, many menial disciples have to go through repeated attempts before they can stabilize their Qi seeds.

It is very rare for him to be able to stabilize the qi the first time.

This means that he has taken one step further towards the path of a warrior.

For the next period of time, Li Qian rang the bell every day to offer sacrifices to the Chen Bell. After ringing the bell, he would practice sword and piercing to cultivate his sense of Qi.

He could feel the heat below his navel gradually growing stronger.

If he can mobilize this energy to circulate within his body through breathing, it means that he has entered the internal breath stage.

The sense of Qi and internal breath both belong to the foundation-building level of martial arts.

When your internal energy has grown to a certain level, you can try to refine your breath into strength.

This means that internal energy has attack power.

That is the internal strength stage.

Those who can develop internal strength, although not formal warriors, can be called martial arts apprentices and are considered to be preparatory warriors.

Internal energy cannot leave the body and can only amplify the strength of various parts of the body. But even so, it has completely surpassed the martial arts limits of ordinary people.

If a person is a real warrior, he can gather his strength into energy and release it to attack, or even deliver a Hundred-Step Divine Fist. The attack power is extremely exaggerated and amazing. That is the real extraordinary power.

noon.

Li Qian and Mr. Song are having dinner together.

The dishes were quite rich and were mainly medicinal, which was a very rare meal for the menial disciples.

Ever since Li Qian developed the sense of qi, he felt that his appetite had increased and his food intake was increasing day by day.

After finishing one bowl, Li Qian went to get another big bowl.

"Li Qian, have you developed a sense of Qi?"

Mr. Song suddenly asked.

He has been observing Li Qian for many days.

During this period, Li Qian's appetite increased significantly.

In normal martial arts training, before the sense of qi is generated, although the appetite will increase, it will not be so obvious.

"Mr. Song, I felt the energy a few days ago."

Li Qian said while eating.

He knew that he could not hide it from Mr. Song's experienced eyes, so he did not deny it.

What's more, it just produces a sense of energy.

"It seems that your talent is much better than I thought. What a pity."

Mr. Song showed a trace of regret.

The fact that he could generate Qi so quickly showed that Li Qian’s talent was not bad. It was probably because he was unlucky and met too many people with outstanding talents in the same batch of examinees, which led to him not being selected for the list of official disciples.

I can only say that time is also destiny.

It's time.

Above the bell tower.

Li Qian, who had just rung the bell, was practicing sword jabs and punches, and he felt that the heat flow below his navel had grown a lot, as if it was about to take shape.

Once this sense of qi takes shape, it can be completely transformed into internal breath, and then circulate to all parts of the body according to breathing.

As the internal breath runs, it will have a strengthening effect on various parts of the body.

Over time, the body will gradually become stronger, reaching or even breaking through the limits of the human body.

call!
After several times, Li Qian's whole body felt hot. As he closed his fists and exhaled a breath of white air, the boiling feeling in his abdomen gradually subsided.

"It's just a little bit short. This sense of energy should be able to take shape and turn into internal energy, which I can mobilize."

Li Qian's eyes were shining.

It feels great to make progress every day.

Moreover, the connection between him and Chen Zhong is becoming closer and stronger.

Originally, he could only maintain this connection by being next to the Chen Bell.

But now, even though he was under the bell tower, he could still sense the existence of the Chen Bell.

Suddenly, he thought about it and summoned the system interface.

Host: Li Qian.

Cultivation: Foundation Building (Qi Sensation). Sacrificial Instrument: Chen Bell (49/100).

Martial Arts: Sword Jab (Mastery).

Now the progress of refining the Chen Zhong has reached forty-nine, which means that as long as it is refined for another fifty-one days, the Chen Zhong can be upgraded.

In addition, he also mastered the sword jab.

The degree of mastery of boxing martial arts is closely related to the progress of cultivation.

The degree of mastery of martial arts is mainly divided into entry, proficient, minor success, major success, and perfection.

The reason why he was able to master the sword and jab so quickly was not because of his high aptitude for understanding, but because the sound of the Chen Bell had a natural enlightenment effect on him.

It was precisely because he had mastered the sword and jab that he was able to generate the energy so quickly.

"I heard from Master Song that after becoming a formal disciple, what they practice is not the common boxing style like sword piercing fist, but the real internal strength. Although sword piercing fist is also an internal boxing style, one can eventually cultivate internal energy and become a formal warrior, but that is the limit."

Li Qian sighed inwardly.

If there was no system, he had no doubt that being able to cultivate internal energy and become an entry-level warrior in this lifetime would already be his limit.

As for wanting to go further, that is almost a luxury.

He touched the Chen Bell, enjoying the strange feeling of connection.

Suddenly, his eyes fell into the distance and a staggering figure appeared on the hillside.

It’s Mr. Song.

Today is the day when the Divine Sword Sect distributes salaries and training resources once a month.

Early in the morning, Mr. Song went down the mountain.

Whoosh!
Li Qian jumped directly from the bell tower.

The height was less than four meters, which was not difficult at all given his current physical agility and strength.

More than a minute later, Li Qian came to Mr. Song and took two bags from him.

When Old Song went down the mountain, he not only received salary and training resources, but also daily food.

The things that Mr. Song brought this time weighed, if not 200 kilograms, probably more than 100 kilograms.

Return to the bell tower.

"Li Qian, this is your salary and the certificate of contribution."

Mr. Song threw a small bag and a wooden sign to Li Qian.

The small bag contained salary.

Ten taels per month.

Ten taels of silver can cover all the living expenses of an ordinary family of three for a year.

For someone who practices martial arts, ten taels of silver is just a drop in the bucket.

That is to say, in a large sect like the Divine Sword Sect, which is wealthy and powerful, all the menial disciples can eat medicinal food, which can save expenses in this area.

Some menial disciples whose families were not well off would often send their salaries back home to improve their family's lives.

Li Qian doesn't have this kind of worry.

He just needs to save his salary.

As for the wooden plaque, it records Li Qian’s contribution points.

Very few.

Just a little bit every month.

In the Divine Sword Sect, contribution points are more valuable than gold and silver.

Whether it is exchanging for cultivation resources or martial arts secrets, contribution points are required.

Many menial disciples, after having no hope of becoming formal disciples, would try to stay in the Divine Sword Sect as long as possible, in order to accumulate enough contribution points to exchange for a suitable martial arts secret technique.

Li Qian saw the contribution points recorded on the wooden sign and couldn't help but shook his head. Without a few years of accumulation, these contribution points would probably not be of much use.

He was a little curious and wondered how many contribution points Mr. Song had saved at such an old age.

"Li Qian, you are lucky this time. I got some exotic beast jerky. This is a good thing. It is hard to see in the past few years. I have only eaten it a few times."

Mr. Song said with a smile.

He took out a wooden box from a cloth bag and opened it, revealing a small piece of black jerky, only two fingers wide and one finger long.

"Is this exotic beast jerky?"

Li Qian was very surprised.

He heard from Old Song that they usually ate the meat of medicinal animals.

Medicinal animals are mainly made from specially fed medicinal feed such as pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, and ducks. They are richer in nutrients and blood than ordinary animal meat and are more suitable for consumption by warriors.

As for the meat of exotic animals, it comes from exotic animals.

Those that can be called exotic beasts are definitely not ordinary wild beasts, but are equivalent to warriors, possessing powers far exceeding those of ordinary wild beasts.
