Eternal Sword

Chapter 94 The Art of Killing Immortals

"You just said that Emperor Qian is dead?"

The mountain visitor suddenly asked.

"Ah."

Chen Tang nodded and said, "About two or three months ago, it was said that the new emperor ascended the throne and issued a general amnesty."

The guest in the mountain murmured, "According to his age, he should be over seventy years old. For a master, he is not yet old, so how could he pass away?"

Emperor Qian is actually a first-class master.

This was the first time Chen Tang knew about this.

Shan Zhongke asked, "Are you going to deal with the Black Water Gang next?"

Chen Tang said: "The Black Water Gang is too powerful. With my strength, I can't deal with it at all. However, if I just want to seek revenge on that young gang leader, I still have a chance."

The Blackwater Gang's influence spread throughout Pingzhou, and it had close ties with major government offices.

Such a big thing happened in Changze County, but it was suppressed. He wanted to fight against the Black Water Gang on his own, but that was like an ant trying to shake a tree, it was just a pipe dream.

However, according to what Shan Zhongke said, the young leader of the Black Water Gang is of the seventh rank.

As long as he could cultivate to the eighth level, combined with the divine light of One Breath, he would have a great chance of killing it!

The key is how to lure the young gang leader out.

The Shanzhongke said again: "Tell me what information you know about the Black Water Gang."

Chen Tang then told the mountain visitor some of the news he had heard.

Most of the time, the mountain visitor just listened carefully, occasionally frowning slightly.

After listening to this, the mountain visitor fell into deep thought, and no one knew what he was thinking about.

After a moment, Shan Zhongke suddenly asked, "Who is the new emperor of Qian Kingdom?"

"what?"

Chen Tang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't know."

This question was so sudden, he didn't know why the mountain guest's thoughts jumped so much.

And how would he know about such things?

"Not quite right."

The mountain guest seemed to have noticed something, shook his head and said, "When you go back this time, use the Qinglong Division to investigate a few things, and tell me when you come up the mountain next time."

Chen Tang nodded.

"First, the information about the new emperor of Qian Kingdom."

"Second, the information about the governor of Pingzhou."

"Third, who is the current Grand Commandant of Qian State?"

Lieutenant?

Chen Tang had heard of this official position in his previous life, and it seemed to be one of the Three Dukes.

The guest in the mountain said, "The Grand Commandant is the person in charge of the military and political affairs of the Qian Kingdom, and is one of the Three Dukes. These three pieces of information are not secret, and it will not be difficult for you to find them in the Qinglong Division."

After a pause, Shan Zhongke continued, "And the fourth is the relationship between Qinglongsi and Xuantian Sect. You may not be able to find out about this, so just pay attention to it when you have the chance."

"Okay, I've written it down."

Chen Tang asked: "Is this information related to the Black Water Gang?"

The mountain guest said: "I don't know, go check it out first."

Just now when talking about Xuantian Sect, Chen Tang's mind became active, and he couldn't help asking: "Senior, do you know Xuanmen alchemy?"

“No, but I know a little bit.”

The guest in the mountain said lightly.

Chen Tang then asked: "What's the matter with this Xuanmen? If you don't have any qualifications, you can't practice it?"

Xuanmen seems to be somewhat similar to the cultivation described in books in my previous life. Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I still feel a little moved.

After all, even emperors are eager to achieve the art of longevity.

The guest in the mountain said: "To practice the mysterious art, you need spiritual roots. Spiritual roots are equivalent to a kind of perception outside of the five senses. Only with spiritual roots can you sense the essence of heaven and earth and condense the energy into your body to practice."

"Both martial arts and Xuanmen have the step of refining essence into qi. However, the internal strength of martial arts refines the acquired essence, which is the essence of water and grain from daily diet, and also includes the assistance of some medicinal herbs, so as to form an inner elixir and cultivate internal qi."

"As for Xuanmen, due to the existence of spiritual roots, at the beginning of cultivation, the alchemist can sense and refine the innate essence, breathe in and out, condense the energy into the body, and build the foundation to form the elixir."

Chen Tang heard the difference and said, "Doesn't this mean that when you start practicing martial arts, you are at a lower level?"

They are all about refining essence into Qi, and martial arts is about refining acquired essence.

As soon as Xuanmen came up, he refined the innate essence.

"otherwise."

The guest in the mountain said, "All alchemists practice the art of flying swords. Even if they have innate energy, their skills are all on flying swords, and their life cultivation is far inferior to that of warriors who practice martial arts."

"The so-called dual cultivation of life and nature is the cultivation of body and mind. If you want to achieve something in martial arts, you must be brave and diligent, and constantly hone your body and mind."

"Flying swords are powerful. They can kill people as easily as taking something out of a bag. They can even defeat ten or a hundred enemies at once. But they are external objects after all. Without the training of skin, flesh, tendons, and bones, and the cultivation of bone marrow and internal organs, the alchemist is far less powerful than a warrior."

Chen Tang was deeply touched by these words.

Xu Tong relied on his flying sword to kill him by surprise.

But without the flying sword, Xu Tong is only slightly stronger than ordinary people.

The guest in the mountain said, "Above the alchemists are called sorcerers, and they are at the foundation-building stage. Cultivators at this stage gradually regulate their bodies, and master some mysterious techniques that can release energy from the heaven and earth, and can also cultivate a second flying sword."

"But after a warrior reaches the fifth level, he will also cultivate internal energy, which greatly increases his combat power. He may not have no chance of winning against a sorcerer."

"The realm above the foundation building is called the Golden Core Realm, and the Xuanmen generally call it the Golden Core True Man." "To face a Golden Core True Man, a warrior must have cultivated to the second level of Xiantian to have the strength to fight."

Chen Tang thought for a moment and said, "From what the senior said, among the same level, Xuanmen still has a greater chance of winning."

In fact, the fat old man also said something similar. At the same level, the Xuanshi has absolute suppression over the warriors.

"Yes, most of the time, Xuanmen will be better than Wudao."

Shan Zhongke changed the subject and said, "But there are exceptions to everything. If you can cultivate your life nature to the extreme perfection, you will be able to suppress the Xuan Master of the same level!"

To cultivate one’s destiny to the extreme means that every realm must be cultivated to the extreme.

The guest in the mountain smiled slightly and said, "Instead of envying those immortal masters who practice the mysterious sect, it is better to learn the art of killing immortals from me!"

This is said with great domineering attitude.

Even the fat old man would show some fear when mentioning some masters of Xuanmen.

But this person threatened to kill the immortal!
Chen Tang's heart was burning with excitement. He bowed and said respectfully, "Senior, please teach me the Zhuxian Technique."

"It's still the Subduing Tiger Fist."

A guest road in the mountains.

Chen Tang: “…”

After going in circles, it turns out that the Zhu Xian Technique is actually the Subduing Tiger Fist?
The guest in the mountain said: "Your Fu Hu Quan has only been practiced to the extreme level of transformation, and your boxing skills have reached the 'divine' level. But have you ever thought about why this set of boxing skills evolved from the posture of a tiger, and why it is called Fu Hu Quan?"

indeed.

It seems that it would be more appropriate to call it Tiger Fist or Tiger Shape Fist.

The guest in the mountain said, "Next, I will teach you the complete "Subduing Tiger Kung Fu". There is a breathing method in it. From now on, whether you are walking, standing, sitting or lying down, you must try your best to adjust your breathing and breathe with this breathing method. When you practice Subduing Tiger Fist in the future, you must also use this breathing method."

"Is this the method of changing bones?"

Chen Tang's eyes lit up.

The mountain visitor did not answer, but two flames seemed to be burning in his eyes, and his gaze fell on Chen Tang's forehead.

“Close your eyes and remember this feeling.”

The voice of the mountain traveler came: "The human body has 206 bones, 29 of which are skulls."

When he said this, Chen Tang's breathing suddenly changed rhythm under the guidance of some mysterious force.

The next moment, he felt the top of his head getting hot, which gradually spread to his entire head, as if every bone in his skull was emitting heat.

As he continued to breathe in and out, the twenty-nine skulls became extremely hot!
"Enter the state of divine illumination and feel it."

The mountain guest reminded again.

Chen Tang followed his instructions and instantly entered a state of meditation and inner vision.

The entire head seemed to be reflected in his sight, extremely clear, every piece of the skull, even the gaps between the skulls, were clearly visible.

"And the trunk bones, fifty-one."

The voice of the mountain visitor continued to sound.

When looking inward, the warmth in Chen Tang's skull dissipated, and the entire spine, the ribs and torso that spread to both sides, and each bone instantly became scorching hot, as if emitting a red light!

"Four extreme bones, one hundred and twenty-six pieces!"

The warmth in the spine and torso dissipated.

The next moment, the bones in Chen Tang's arms, legs, hands and feet began to heat up, and he felt an itchy and numb feeling.

The four poles are the limbs of the human body.

"wake up!"

The mountain visitor suddenly shouted.

A warm feeling came from between Chen Tang's eyebrows, instantly interrupting his state of divine illumination.

The entire process of transferring the skills seems to be long.

In fact, it was just a breath.

With each breath, every bone in Chen Tang's body was nourished!
"If you want to subdue a tiger, it is useless to win with just the moves."

The guest in the mountain said: "One force can defeat ten skills. Only when the force is strong enough can you subdue dragons and tigers. I have made some improvements to this breathing method over the years. It is based on the breathing method of the mountain king. It is stronger than before and has a better effect of practice."

"The combination of the Subduing Tiger Fist and this breathing method will form the complete Subduing Tiger Kung Fu."

"Tonight you will stay here and breathe in and out using the 'Subduing the Tiger Technique' to get familiar with the rhythm. You can leave at dawn."

"it is good."

Chen Tang nodded.

A trace of doubt suddenly arose in his heart, and he asked: "Senior, this breathing method should be considered as internal energy. Why does this kind of internal energy cultivation require a complete transformation and marrow-cutting first, instead of cultivating internal energy first?"

If you can cultivate internal energy first, starting from childhood, by the time you are twenty years old, wouldn’t that mean you have twenty years of internal energy cultivation?

Shan Zhongke explained: "Rebirth, changing the meridians and cutting the marrow, is actually the foundation-building process in martial arts. The power of internal energy is too strong. If you don't have the foundation of body training in the early stage, your body will be weak and your meridians will be fragile. Once the internal energy is used, you will not be able to bear it."

"You are like a container. The stronger you cultivate this container in the early stage, the larger its capacity will be, and the more water it can store in the future. If you don't cultivate it in the early stage, once water is poured in, it will be full of holes."

The mountain guest patiently explained some martial arts principles to Chen Tang, teaching him everything he knew without reservation.

Afterwards, Chen Tang sat cross-legged on the snow mountain, and with the help of the breathing method of "Subduing the Tiger", he constantly adjusted his breathing and familiarized himself with the rhythm and frequency of this breathing.

It wasn't long before he was in complete control.

What the guest in the mountain said was right. If you can practice meditation, it will be easy to learn any martial arts technique.

Then, under the gaze of the mountain guest, Chen Tang fell asleep while practicing...
