Advance the future and become a martial saint on earth!

Chapter 121: With flesh and blood as the warp and weft, and tendons and bones as the loom, my body has been refined to be like glass, undergoing transformation, like a god!

Immortal clothes!

Ji Xiu's breathing became heavier. He had not yet broken through the barrier of Taoism and mastered the art of fasting. From now on, he could eat air while walking, sitting or lying down, which subtly strengthened his internal organs and tempered his muscles, bones and skin. He was delighted.

As soon as I saw what Duan Chenzhou took out
I was even more excited at that moment.

Stretching the tendons is the starting point, and 99% of the warriors in the world are trapped in this state.

When it comes down to it, bone tempering is nothing more than practicing external skills.

Even if he broke through the limit, and asked the dragon on his spine to cultivate a 'dragon form', breaking the mercury, blood and silver marrow, he would be extremely powerful.

But no matter how much you talk about it, it's just the power of blood and marrow, pulling a bow of 100 stones, and even five horses can hardly cut the body apart. This is already the limit.

Can refine the leather, different!
The most important thing is the saying that three years to build tendons, ten years to build bones, and a lifetime to build skin. Why does it take a whole lifetime to refine the skin?

Because skin refining is not just about the outer skin, but also the internal organs.

It is a process from the outside to the inside, which enables all the muscles, bones, skin, blood, marrow and internal organs in the body to be coordinated as one and exert strength throughout the body, thus called "blood and flesh derivation".

Wait until the first step, 'Jade Skin', is refined.

It can also undergo transformation and sublimation, and develop into an 'external power' in which the power can leave the body.

Even further, they put on the "immortal clothes" that are as thin as cicada wings, which can block all ordinary soldiers and survive all ordinary fires and drowning!
Whether it is opening up the Qi Sea, becoming a master of Qi training, or being given a title... all start from here and it is the foundation of a towering building.

Train the skin externally and the internal organs internally, thereby increasing strength and causing transformation.

Even after entering the 'Qi Gate', everyone's level of practice, and even the title of martial arts, is also fed back with Qi, constantly allowing this body that has been tempered to the 'mortal limit' to be sublimated again.

This can be compared to the realm of immortal martial saints in ancient history who can carry mountains and cross seas.

Let’s not talk about the distant martial saints and human immortals for now, and just talk about the ones Ji Xiu has come into contact with, according to Master Duan’s explanation of the "Qigong masters".

Qi Hai, the most intuitive manifestation.
It means 'extending life'!
In ancient times, there were divine men who swallowed the energy of heaven and earth, strengthened their internal organs, and continued to look young after going through a long period of spring and autumn.

Although people nowadays are weak and will become old in thirty or fifty years, once the Qi sea is opened up by the masters of Qigong, their lifespan can be extended instantly!

I heard that the Qi Hai master was free from disasters, illnesses, calamities, and injuries.
It can live through three Jiazi years of spring, autumn, winter and summer, which is as long as one hundred and eighty years!

What a concept!
No wonder those big banks in the capital city can develop such a big business.

It is often said that strength is limited to a warrior. After the age of 40, his blood and marrow decline, and his potential is exhausted. Although he has the opportunity to open up his Qi sea, it is only at the lower level. If he can reach the middle level, it is considered a great achievement.

A person who reached the Qi Sea at the age of forty, was known as a "big man" in the city, and established such a huge foundation. It took him one hundred and forty years to gather connections and expand his business. How profound is this accumulation of foundation?
Millions of peasants, even if they work hard all their lives, can never compare to him!
This is just the starting point for everyone to practice Qi. What happens after that is even more incredible.

The 'impeccable body' behind the qi sea is also said to be the 'impeccable golden soup'.

This realm is as powerful as that of a supernatural being, and it is what Master Duan Chenzhou has mentioned more than once as the realm he most hopes to achieve.

According to the literal introduction.

Anyone who has achieved "no leakage" will feel like they are sealed or cast when they close their orifices. There will be no increase or decrease, and the secrets of the body will be consumed in a cycle.

One can not drink or eat without losing Qi and blood, can hold his breath in magma, and walk in weak water as if on flat ground;

If you are traumatized.
According to legend, it can open and close pores, open up large orifices, and absorb "spiritual things and spiritual energy". Even severed limbs can regenerate new ones within a day and night, like new sprouts!
No leakage, no leakage, my body is leak-free!
The power is incredible, already inhuman.

For Duan Chenzhou, who had lost one arm but had already passed the calamity, it did not prevent him from continuing to "advance with great strides".
Nature has great temptation.

A glimpse of the leopard through a tube and a single leaf can tell the coming of autumn.

Just by looking at these details, one can get a glimpse of the process after skin refining, which can be said to be a step by step level.

The gap between the former and the latter is much greater than the realm of tempering muscles and bones, and is like a natural chasm.

This state is related to the opening up of the Qi Sea, which is the most important thing that cannot be taken lightly. It directly determines your future fate, whether you will linger outside the door or enter the room.

Holding the scroll, Ji Xiu calmed his mind, activated the "Yuanshi Dao Lu", and waited for enlightenment.

【Feathered Immortal Clothes】

[One of the nine great families, the 'Langya Xie family' has a secret family method, which consists of four volumes, covering the jade skin, outer power, fairy clothes, and the method of breaking the 'three limits'. ]

[This secret technique takes 'spring, autumn, winter and summer, the four seasons' as its true meaning. The recipient can collect spiritual objects and treasures that match the 'four seasons' to temper his body.]

[Spring: Take the spiritual object of "all things revive and are full of vitality" and polish the membrane to achieve "jade skin". 】

[Xia: You must use spiritual objects and materials that are as fierce as fire as auxiliary materials to break through the barriers and transform them into the unparalleled "external power".]

[Autumn: One must have a cool temperament, like spiritual creatures and fish in the water, and wear the "immortal clothes" that cannot be invaded by water or fire.]

[Winter: Only when all things are extinguished and all sounds are silent can one break through the barrier and form the 'Impermanence of the Four Seasons', break the third limit, and realize the 'characteristics'! ]

[The master of the 'True Sect' level of tendon-boiling pile was granted, breaking through the first limit, and practicing the 'Dragon Descendant' bone-refining true skill, breaking through the second limit, and the foundation of tendons and bones has been established. ]

[If you can break the three limits, you can obtain the 'Mysterious Blood Dragon Tendon', 'Dragonborn Treasure Bone', and achieve the great limit of skin refining, thereby obtaining the characteristics and building a 'Martial Arts Treasure Body'! ]

[Will the Master of the Scriptures advance the first volume of "Feathered Immortal Clothes" - the Glazed Volume? ]

[The skin is as white as white jade, as smooth as cicada wings, and as smooth as flowing clouds. Under the attack of secret weapons and spiritual weapons, no wounds will leave any marks. ]

[To advance this scroll, you only need to take some medicines and spiritual objects that nourish the body, replenish blood, strengthen the internal organs, and strengthen the body. Over time, you will be able to grind it. ]

[If you can collect the earth treasure that matches the true meaning of the 'Glass Scroll', swallow it whole and refine it, you can greatly shorten the time. ]

Spring, autumn, winter and summer, the four seasons rotate!
Implying a reincarnation?
Ji Xiu was shocked. He first felt that the essence of this volume of skin refining method really surpassed the so-called "skin refining" secret methods circulating in the county, which were indeed numerous.

With his current realm, status, and financial resources.

As long as he wanted, he could find some simple skin refining methods and recipes.

However, the skin refining methods popular in the county, and even in the provincial capital, mostly only include one volume on grinding the skin, and do not even involve external power or fairy clothes.

Those who can cultivate jade skin are considered to be of low quality.

Those who can get involved in the outer realm can be said to have mid-level secret books. Only some big banks in the city will leak them out through their fingers and reward them to their meritorious thugs and managers to win over people's hearts.

For example, why would Lu Chengfeng, who is in charge of the three major businesses, work for the big shot of Fengyun Society?
Firstly, they once had a master-disciple relationship, and secondly, they just wanted to seek their own advancement.

The Outer Gang Scroll is so hard to find, let alone the Immortal Robe Scroll, not to mention the Feathered Immortal Robe. There are even more sophisticated methods that are enough to break the 'third limit'!

I guess the big banks don’t even have such secrets!
It’s a pity that he is strong no matter how strong he is.

But no one talks about the external power that comes later.

In order to be perfect and flawless, and to have a body like glass, one actually needs the assistance of "earth treasures". Moreover, the earth treasures and spiritual objects selected need to be in line with the Dharma, otherwise the progress will be extremely slow.
With such harsh conditions, what kind of family can practice?
It is hard to imagine that three generations of the clan have to eat the treasures from the earth. How much would it consume over several decades?
This account made Ji Xiu secretly smack his lips in amazement. It was indeed worthy of being one of the top 19 forces in the world.

I'm afraid there isn't even a family in an ordinary mansion that can afford such capital!
I heard from the great alchemist Xu Li who came from the mansion that these local treasures are all treasures. Although every family has a few plants, they are all used for blending and cultivation.

Even if it is used as medicine, only one leaf or one root is picked at a time, and the rest is used to nourish the spiritual soil and improve the foundation. Who would use a whole plant or a whole grain for cultivation?
That's a real spendthrift! I've never heard of anyone so extravagant.

Just from this point, we can know that even if this "Feathered Immortal Robe" is spread out, how many people can master it?

Ji Xiu was looking at the secret book of "Feathered Immortal Clothes" in silence and without moving.

Duan Chenzhou thought Ji Xiu was intimidated by the harsh conditions, so he spoke slowly:
"What kind of conditions, what kind of foundation, this 'Feathered Immortal Clothes' is better than the Five Decaying Gang Clothes passed down by your master from the 'Sword Dao Ancestor'."

"Some of the same secret methods can break the 'third limit', but the details are not clear, so you need to figure it out yourself."

"But some will show you how to break it. You just need to follow the steps and you will be able to repair it."

“Although there are only slight differences between the two, the former may be blocked by this obstacle for several years, or even more than ten years, and it may not be completed.”

"The latter, on the other hand, has a clear direction. As long as they don't damage their foundation or make excessive advances, they can put all their efforts into it without worrying about going astray."

"That's why every family of the pillars of heaven, the great families, the true sects, and the nobles can always produce a 'world-walker' every ten or dozens of years, with a name known across the great mystical regions and on the Young Dragon Monument."

"It's because, before these people reach the Qi Gate, there is no 'threshold' at all. They are not on the same path as the warriors in the world!"

"Dharma, companions, wealth, and land are all available. If anyone has some talent and potential, and has the potential to be revived, how can the family not devote all their resources to cultivate them?"

"However, disciple, you don't have to underestimate yourself. The foundation you have laid in the power barrier is not inferior to them at all, and may even be better than them."

"Once you become a 'Qigong master', your future will be completely different."

"No matter how good your family background is, it is impossible to break the 'limit' by eating as easily as drinking water as before."

Duan Chenzhou came up with an idea for Ji Xiu:

"You have made rapid progress. Now, at the age of seventeen, you have entered the leather refining stage. You are considered a genius in the mansion."

"If you take a long time to refine your skin, you can do it step by step over several years. By the time you reach the Qi barrier, you will be only 26 or 27 years old, which is the prime of your life."

"Although the progress of cultivation is much slower than before."

"But at your age, there's still plenty of time."

"It's a good opportunity to combine your secret martial arts, boxing, Taoist arts, alchemy, and everything else you can learn to advance together and become a master of all schools of thought!"

"Other masters who cultivate their disciples are afraid that their disciples will be hindered by unorthodox ways and their progress in martial arts. But since I have seen your comprehension, I can only say one thing."

"A versatile person like you."

"If you learn one less skill, it means you lose that skill or technique!"

"It's just what your master once said. If you can learn, then learn it to the best of your ability. Otherwise, how can you beat those so-called geniuses so hard that they can't even stand up straight?"

"To cultivate this Feathered Immortal Robe, one needs to find four kinds of earthly treasures. The conditions are very harsh. If your master, Wang Xuanyang, were still alive, he could go out and ask around, and it shouldn't be a problem for him to 'borrow' them from you."

"But we don't have the conditions right now. However, if you open a mountain road business in the county and use the money to find some spiritual objects and medicines on a daily basis, it shouldn't be difficult to practice."

"As for the rest, we'll talk about it after we enter the government. If we can enter the government and gain a position, and become prominent, then things will be much easier."

"On the one hand, the imperial court provides you with 'tributes' and food. On the other hand, officials who appreciate your ability to win the championship will also sign a contract with you in advance and make an investment."

"That's all. I'll tell you the ins and outs of this later when I have the chance. Don't be careless or you'll be tricked by others."

"If you can't get in, I will find a way for you. At worst, I will go back to my old ways and go deep into the 8,000-mile East Cang Ocean to catch spiritual fish and find sea treasures for you!"

"You should know that back then, my master was the head of the Eighth Ferry of the fishing company, and his reputation was very great!"

"Of course, these are all later stories. You have to know that the most important thing you have to do right now is to learn how to use this Feathered Immortal Robe."

"I have pondered over the ins and outs of this book day and night. Every word is truly precious. Many of the insights in it amaze me."

"Unlike the tendons and bones, the membrane stage actually involves the five internal organs, which is extremely complex and difficult to cultivate. From my estimation, even with your aptitude, if you want to get started, it will take you two or three months, until the beginning of next spring."

Duan Chenzhou hadn't finished speaking.

He watched Ji Xiu as if he had realized something, he closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, and in an instant white smoke over a meter long emerged from his body and rose from his shoulders.

In an instant, 'using the skin as a furnace and the blood as a guide', the internal organs were stimulated, generating inexplicable qi and connecting with each other!
Flesh and blood are the warp and weft, and tendons and bones are the loom!

Click, click!
Duan Chenzhou watched as Ji Xiu's nails began to fall off, until they grew back and became translucent, semi-glassy.

It was completely silent.

The first level of leather refining - Jade Skin Realm!

If you want to complete the practice, there is a sign.

The goal is to make the teeth, fingertips, and toenails all fall off and be regenerated, and to make the skin transform into a jade-like radiance.

When it is fully developed, it will become a symbol.

'Tears fall like pearls, falling to the ground and rising into smoke'!
This is the Qi and blood being refined into the internal organs, the Qi rushing to the four extremities, so that even a tear or a drop of water
It can also hide "Qi Jin", which is enough to corrode sand and stone like "a drop of blood dissolving gold", which is extremely terrifying!
This is what is meant by changing blood and removing hair, and having internal organs like dragons!

The nails shed.
This is the first sign that one has entered the stage of 'skin refining' and is beginning to transform.

"This"

"It's done!?"

Duan Chenzhou recalled the nails he shed when he ate three hundred spirit fish. From then on, his palms became stronger and more powerful, which took several months.

Let’s look at Ji Xiu now.

Complete silence, speechless.

Since coming to Anning County.

He has the character of "showing off in front of others and being a teacher to others".
I met this disciple who inherited my legacy.

That's really a blow, and I need to change my character soon.

And at this time.

Jiangyin, garrison headquarters!

(ps: I was forced to be together with my family during the Chinese New Year yesterday. The Spring Festival Gala was not good at all. I might as well serve my dear book friends ┭┮﹏┭┮)
