I am about to die of old age, and I have awakened the character of longevity.

Chapter 204: Secrets of the human body, the origin of the Seven Treasures Box!
hum!
Buzz!

Xie An clearly felt an unprecedentedly powerful internal force growing from his qi and blood, flowing through his body, burning his muscles and bones, and being released through his skin, forming a layer of hot barrier.

The powerful force rolled around in the body, with nowhere to release, burning the skin and bones, causing extreme pain.

For a moment, Xie An felt that all the muscles and bones in his body were about to be broken by this powerful internal force.

It hurts so much!
He knew that this was the inevitable situation that would occur after breaking through the ninth level of internal energy, and he had already made preparations to deal with it. However, the strength of the ninth level of internal energy exceeded Xie An's expectations.

So majestic!

Whoosh!

Xie An took several deep breaths, trying to keep himself calm, and then continued to practice the Water Drop Internal Energy Method.

Only by withstanding this wave of flood and using the water drop internal energy method to redirect this powerful internal energy can you be considered to have made a successful breakthrough and the pain will be reduced accordingly.

The process looks simple, but it is not easy to do.

Fortunately, Xie An had great willpower and he gritted his teeth and persevered.

After withstanding three bursts of internal energy, the Water Drop Internal Energy Method began to take effect, gradually controlling the violent internal energy in the body and guiding it to flow in an orderly manner.

The pain disappears.

Xie An breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After repeatedly running the internal energy many times without any problems, Xie An was sure that he had mastered the operation method of the nine levels of internal energy.

He slowly opened his eyes and saw the rippling water of the Huai River outside the boat, and also saw the drizzle falling on his body.

Just like the internal energy of thousands of water droplets spreading out in the body.

By turning on his inner vision, he could clearly see drops of internal energy flowing with the blood, spreading throughout every corner of his body. As long as Xie An activated his internal energy technique, these scattered drops of internal energy would immediately condense and transform into a ball of internal energy fire, surging and exploding.

"This water drop internal energy method is truly miraculous. It has some of the cold and hot energy effects of the Mingyu Gong. It's truly an internal energy method that leads directly to a martial arts master."

Xie An was amazed.

After practicing internal energy for such a long time, I have finally mastered it.

Although this process is very slow and arduous, the effect is amazing.

At this moment, an oil-paper umbrella was placed across Xie An's head, and the raindrops hitting the umbrella made a "drip-drip" sound.

Xie An suddenly woke up and looked up to see a beautiful woman in a light blue silk dress standing beside him, holding an oil-paper umbrella to shield him from the rain.

The woman spoke elegantly, "Congratulations."

Xie An slowly stood up and said with a smile: "I also have to thank the princess for giving me the inner strength method. Otherwise, I am afraid I would not be able to come this far."

This is what Xie An really thought.

He knew very well that he had no extraordinary talent in the martial arts. His ability to become a ninth-level martial artist was due not only to his own hard work and the potential energy of his health-preserving exercises, but more importantly, to the mysterious water drop internal energy method, which not only eliminated the drawbacks of forcing growth but also greatly strengthened Xie An's foundation.

Su Yuqing said with a smile, "Meeting is fate, no need to thank me. Besides, Daqian's martial arts are all about cultivating talents. The Water Drop Internal Energy Method is unlike other quick-fix internal energy methods. It doesn't place much emphasis on martial arts talent, but instead emphasizes patience and hard work. It's just right for you."

Although Su Yuqing said this, Xie An still politely bowed and thanked her.

After entering the boat tent, Xie An circulated his internal energy and steamed his wet clothes dry.

The white fox picked up the blackfin croaker again and started to eat it, while Su Yuqing sat opposite the table with a stove burning next to her and started to boil water and make tea, while asking very carefully.

"After entering the ninth level of internal energy, what do you feel?"

Xie An did not hide anything and confessed, "I feel that the Qi and blood in my body have reached their peak, as if I can burn all the blood and essence in my body into internal energy. The internal energy has also reached the peak of its power."

When he reached the ninth level of martial arts, Xie An felt that he could have a good exchange of martial arts experiences with Su Yuqing, the martial arts master.

Su Yuqing said, "Ninth level of internal energy is the pinnacle of internal energy. Internal energy comes from human blood. Transforming all the blood and essence in a person into internal energy is the pinnacle of martial arts. This is... the ultimate strength."

Xie An carefully savored Su Yuqing's words.

The essence of internal strength is actually a kind of power.

It is not the heat from health-preserving exercises.

There is a huge difference between the two.

After understanding the meaning, Xie An seemed to have a sudden realization, "So, if a ninth-level martial artist wants to make further progress, he must unlock the secrets of the human body?"

Just then, the kettle boiled, and the boiling water hit the lid, making a ping-pong sound.

Su Yuqing pinched the handle of the kettle with her sweat towel, lifted it up, and began to brew tea. "Not bad. A martial artist relies on internal strength. If you want to go further, you can only open the secrets of the human body."

After Xie An felt the power of the Nine-fold Internal Energy, he became extremely interested in the higher secrets of the human body. "How do I unlock the secrets of the human body?"

Su Yuqing skillfully poured out most of the first brew of tea from the teapot, then continued to add hot water. "To unlock the secrets of the human body, you need courage and willpower. Then, use your ultimate internal energy to break through the secrets of the human body..."

After Su Yuqing's detailed explanation, Xie An finally understood the secrets of the human body.

The secret organs of the human body are divided into nine from low to high: Yongquan, Huangting, Jianggong, Niwan, Yuqiong, Xuechi, Miqiao, Zanggong and Chakra.

Every time a secret treasure is opened, it will stimulate the deep potential of the human body, produce various miraculous things, and can make people undergo all kinds of incredible transformations.

The martial arts skills of a martial arts master cannot be learned by ordinary martial artists.

Once you become a Grandmaster, it is a transformation of your essence.

The upper limit of life span is directly doubled. There are also various other magical powers, such as the ability to move internal organs.

Some martial arts masters have their hearts on the left side, but if they find that the enemy's attack is about to penetrate the left chest, they can instantly move their heart to the right side, or somewhere else.

Including the human body's bones, everything can be moved and transformed.

Simply incredible.

And Su Yuqing was the master of the Blood Pond Realm who opened the fourth-grade secret treasure.

After hearing this information, Xie An fell into silence for a long time.

He knew how valuable this information was.

If it weren't for Su Yuqing, I'm afraid few people in the entire Nanzhou would know these secrets.

In life, it is so important to meet a noble person, a close friend...

However, Xie An discovered a very surprising secret: Why do the many stories about martial arts masters and health-preserving exercises seem to have similarities?
The seventh-grade secret treasure, the Crimson Palace...isn't it the Crimson Palace where I practice health-preserving exercises?
Could it be that health-preserving exercises and the master's secret human body treasures... have some connection?
wow~
Su Yuqing poured Xie An a cup of tea. She seemed to notice Xie An's confusion and said gently, "Do you think that the Grandmaster's secrets and the concepts of health-preserving exercises have similarities?"

Xie An took the teacup and said, "Yes. Is there any connection between the two?"

Su Yuqing nodded and said, "Whether it's health-preserving exercises or grandmaster skills, they both study the structure of the human body and try to unlock its potential. There are similarities between the two."

Xie An felt that a huge secret was laid out before him, and he said, "Princess, please enlighten me."

Su Yuqing smiled and said, "It's not that I can teach you. You are now considered a master in health-preserving exercises. At most, we can exchange ideas."

Xie An felt that the eldest princess was really humble and low-key.

Su Yuqing took a sip of tea and said, "Your Mingyu Gong has reached the nineteenth level, which can restore youth. This is a truly miraculous skill. But do you know why martial arts masters don't attach much importance to this health-preserving skill?"

Xie An thought for a moment and offered his analysis, "On the one hand, martial arts masters have long lifespans. Even the eldest princess, who is almost sixty, still looks like a twenty-year-old girl. On the other hand, the Mingyu Gong cannot break the upper limit of lifespan."

When Su Yuqing heard Xie An compare her to a 20-year-old girl, a smile appeared on her face. "Actually, there is another reason. It's just that people below the Grandmaster level don't know much about it. As long as you cultivate to the third level of secret acupoints, you can also achieve rejuvenation. Therefore, the Grandmaster of Martial Arts only wants to pursue higher realms."

Xie An was stunned when he heard this.

A third-rank master can achieve rejuvenation by relying on the secret methods of the acupoints.

No wonder...Su Yuqing didn't show any particular excitement when she saw Xie An's rejuvenation, nor did she have any intention of practicing this kind of technique.

It turns out... Su Yuqing is confident that he can break through to the third-grade Grandmaster level in this lifetime.

The martial arts master is truly amazing!

In front of a martial arts master, Mingyu Gong can indeed only be regarded as a small trick.

Su Yuqing said, "However, it's not easy to cultivate to the level of a third-grade Grandmaster. There are nine secret treasures, each one a level higher, and opening each one is extremely difficult. The higher you go, the more difficult it becomes. I've been stuck in the fourth-grade blood pool for many years and have never been able to open a third-grade secret acupoint. There are only a handful of third-grade Grandmasters in the entire Daqian."

Gulu!

Xie An took a sip of tea and asked humbly, "What will we get after opening the secret treasure?"

Martial artists rely on internal strength, so they can absolutely suppress martial artists who rely on brute force.

When a master who is above martial artists opens the secret treasure...what will he release?

Xie An was very curious.

Su Yuqing sipped her tea and whispered softly, "The person who created the martial arts system was truly remarkable. He modeled it after a true dragon."

"Reference to the real dragon?"

"That's right. The founder of the martial arts believed that humans are the sons of dragons. Ancient sayings say a dragon gave birth to nine sons, so the founder believed that humans have nine innate secret treasures. Each secret treasure is a dragon's energy. Opening each secret treasure grants one a dragon's energy. Dragon energy grants a person different abilities."

Dragon Qi? Xie An felt that this statement was somewhat embellished and not the truth. "Does dragon Qi really exist?"

Su Yuqing shook her head. "That's of course what the ancestor said, for publicity and publicity purposes. In reality, dragon energy is the nine acquired vital energies of the human body, and different vital energies correspond to different techniques. Martial artists cultivate internal energy, while grandmasters gain acquired vital energy by opening secret vaults. They cultivate the vital energy."

Xie An finally understood.

This vital energy is similar to the true energy in the previous life.

gas……

Xie An immediately thought of a question, "What is the difference between this acquired vital energy and the cold and hot energy cultivated through health-preserving exercises?"

Su Yuqing shook her head. "I haven't practiced the Yangsheng Gong, so I can't make an accurate judgment. But my master did say... the Qi cultivated through the Yangsheng Gong is different from the nine paths of Qi opened by the Grandmaster's secret collection."

"Can you elaborate?"

"Master once said that if one cultivates health-preserving exercises to perfection, the energy generated...will be even greater than the energy obtained by a martial arts master unlocking the body's hidden reservoirs. It's a shame that no one in our Great Qian has ever cultivated health-preserving exercises to their ultimate state. In this area, your master, Bai Yujing, is the true expert."

Xie An became more and more excited, "What do you mean?"

Su Yuqing said, "My master said that when he and Bai Yujing fought, he found that Bai Yujing had no martial arts training. However, he was very proficient in the use of Qi. He suppressed my master at every turn, which ultimately led to my defeat."

hiss!
Xie An took a deep breath and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

Bai Yujing... had never practiced martial arts before. And then he defeated the only martial arts master in Daqian?
What a joke!

This is too incredible.

Could it be that Bai Yujing has been practicing health-preserving exercises all his life?
If that's the case, doesn't it mean that I only need to practice the health-preserving exercises to the extreme level to defeat the Martial Saint?

How can it be……

Xie An pinched his thigh hard to keep himself awake.

Floating...

The ultimate state of health-preserving exercises, pushing martial arts saint?

Su Yuqing said softly, "Unfortunately, Master didn't elaborate on the details of his fight with Bai Yujing. Perhaps Master found it embarrassing. He's been a lifelong warrior. Before he met Bai Yujing, he was quite arrogant. He even boasted of being the lone warrior seeking defeat. After all, he'd never been defeated in his life. But after being defeated by Bai Yujing, Master couldn't help but hold a grudge, and he went into seclusion many times, trying to fight Bai Yujing again to regain his reputation as a Martial Saint."

Xie An held his forehead...

Although he had never met Su Yuqing's master, Xie An felt that this old man... looked somewhat cute.

But after thinking about it, Xie An also felt that the old Martial Saint really had a bad fate.

He practiced martial arts all his life, but was defeated by a woman who had never practiced martial arts.

I'm afraid any man would find it hard to accept.

It is said that in martial arts, no moves are better than moves.

But Lord Wei has lived a wonderful life where even without martial arts, he is better off than with martial arts.

Ye Nantian, the Canglong Martial Saint, is obviously not having a happy life.

After hearing this story, Xie An wanted to go to the capital to see Mr. Ye and Baiyujing even more...

Xie An rubbed his hands and asked, "Bai Yujing, what kind of person is he?"

Su Yuqing smiled and said, "This person is obsessed with immortality and has little interest in other things. She often goes into seclusion for ten years. I've only seen her a few times and don't know her well. But my master has had more contact with her."

"Why?"

"Because every time my master developed a new martial art, he would rush to Bai Yujing's retreat and clamor to challenge Bai Yujing. But my master always turned him down."

"..."

Xie An felt that Ye Nantian and Bai Yujing were destined to fight each other in this life.

They are two interesting people.

I don't think either of them is a sinister person.

Xie An wanted to meet him more and more.

After some small talk, Su Yuqing said, "You'll see it all when you enter the capital. By the way, your token is actually very precious and carries a lot of weight. The Taoist temples in every prefecture will recognize it. Daqian has thirty-six prefectures, each with thirty-six prefectures. Basically, every prefecture has a Taoist temple. With your token, you can go to each Taoist temple to request resources and learn information. No one will dare to disrespect you."

Xie An didn't expect that this small token would have such a great effect.

It turns out that Qingwu County is too small.

The usefulness needs to be reflected in a higher place.

"Thank you, Princess, for sharing so much important information with me."

Su Yuqing smiled faintly and said, "You don't have to call me Princess all the time. We've been together for eight years and we've already become close friends. Just call me by my name."

Xie An naturally didn't take it seriously, so he said that he was used to calling her the princess.

Su Yuqing didn't force him. "It's up to you. Although you have entered the ninth level of martial arts, you still need to diligently practice the Water Drop Internal Energy Method. Once you have mastered it, you will feel the presence of the Yongquan. Then, I can tell you the details of opening the Yongquan's secret treasure."

"Thank you, Princess."

……

Xie An and Su Yuqing continued to drift on the Huai River for two days.

During these two days, Xie An not only enjoyed the quiet life, but also practiced martial arts to adapt to the means and power of the ninth level of internal energy.

As his realm improved, Xie An's courage and insight grew.

When I heard the words "Martial Arts Grandmaster" before, I felt a little weak. I thought he was an invincible existence.

But now, Xie An increasingly feels that the martial arts master is not something unattainable.

If you plan well, even if you face off against a ninth-grade master, you can still kill him.

The rain stopped that day.

The sky is high and the clouds are vast, with a clear sky.

After nightfall, Xie An and Su Yuqing sneaked into Xie's mansion.

"Master, Miss, you are finally back. Master Huang has been waiting for you." Yuhe was very happy to see the two people return.

After exchanging pleasantries, Xie An quickly asked, "Has that woman woken up?"

Yuhe glanced towards the atrium and said, "Yeah, she's awake. Master Huang is watching her."

Xie An breathed a sigh of relief and was about to say something to Su Yuqing, but Su Yuqing told Xie An to go, and then Su Yuqing went directly to the backyard.

Xie An knew that Su Yuqing completely trusted him.

Even such an important matter was left to Xie An.

In addition, Su Yuqing also knew that Xie An had other things to ask Chenxi, so she simply did not interfere and let Xie An express himself freely.

Xie An, thinking of Su Yuqing's kindness, went to the courtyard by himself.

In the room, Chenxi sat cross-legged on a bench, while Master Huang sat not far away drinking tea. The two of them stared at each other without saying a word, and the atmosphere was very awkward.

The awkward atmosphere was not broken until Xie An came in.

"Thank you, Chief, for finally coming." Master Huang, feeling incredibly uncomfortable, immediately stood up, eager to leave this awkward position. "After my healing, this person's injuries have recovered by about 30%. However, I've bound her secret possessions, so she can't threaten you. If there's nothing else, I'll go to the east wing."

Xie An knew that Master Huang was eager to leave, so he didn't force him. He bowed and said, "Thank you, Master Huang."

Master Huang glared at Chenxi fiercely, then turned and left.

Xie An closed the door, walked up to Chenxi, and said directly, "Now that your injury has recovered, it's time to fulfill your original promise."

Chenxi looked at Xie An.

She didn't expect that Xie An really cured her.

It was just a gamble at the beginning.

On the one hand, she was desperate at the time, and on the other hand, she was betting that Xie An would care about exploring the source of the magic treasure and the place where the art of immortality was found.

Sure enough, Chenxi felt that he had made the right bet.

However, she underestimated Xie An...

But Chenxi didn't know that he had taken a pill that would kill him.

Chen Xi said, "Xie An, you are very trustworthy. I am also a trustworthy person."

Xie An breathed a sigh of relief, but revealed a very ferocious expression, "You have also seen Master Huang's methods. If you dare to deceive me, there will be no good end. Tell me, where did the Seven Treasures Box come from?"
