Chapter 233: The Way of Self-cultivation
"The so-called external skills are just to constantly exercise the body in various ways, to make the body stronger and faster. They are often trained through some more extreme methods. For example, the Iron Shirt school is quite famous. They first wrap a wooden stick with cloth strips, and then beat it with the stick every day. After a period of time, they remove the cloth strips and use the stick directly. After a few months, your skin has become accustomed to this intensity, and then you continue to replace it with an iron stick and an iron hammer. Step by step, your ability to withstand blows will be enhanced. After you have mastered it, your skin will be as hard as cowhide, and it will be difficult to be injured by blunt objects. Even sharp weapons cannot break through your defense so easily." Li Ming introduced a few words.

Then, as if remembering something, Li Ran said, "I seem to have heard that there are other methods. It's just that one has to endure a lot of hardship during the practice, but once they succeed, they will be very powerful, right, teacher?"

Li Ming nodded and said, "Compared to the power of Qi and blood, your strength is very limited, and each burst of energy will quickly decay. External power, on the other hand, is the power of muscles, which has a long-lasting effect. It doesn't deplete as quickly as strength. It also taps into the potential of the body, and to some extent, it complements the cultivation of Qi and blood. That's why this school is so popular right now."

Xiao Long immediately smiled and said, "Teacher, your unique skill is the method of practicing external skills? I heard that practicing external skills can easily harm the body, so it is usually accompanied by appropriate medicinal soups or the like. Otherwise, not only will it be ineffective, but it will also easily damage the foundation. Teacher, you must have some exclusive secret recipe, right?"

Li Hao's eyes lit up and he said, "Then what do you have, Master? Iron Sand Palm? Eagle Claw? Flying Kick? What are you going to teach?"

Jiang Xiumei frowned and said, "Teacher, do I really have to practice? I don't want to make my arms and legs thick."

"Are you still picking?" Li Ming sneered and slapped Jiang Xiumei on the forehead again.

"My idea is different from theirs. What they pursue is to turn the human body into a weapon. Practicing Iron Shirt is to train your body into a piece of armor, and Iron Sand Palm and Eagle Claw are to train your hands into a pair of gloves. But I have just said that a gentleman is good at making use of things. You can train it to be harder than wood and stone, but what about metal? The newly developed C75489 steel is much harder than any previous alloy. What's the point of breaking the limit of the human body? How stupid!" Li Ming's face was full of undisguised disdain.

This made the four of them look at each other in bewilderment. The practice of external skills was actually quite popular, and many masters had emerged, but Li Ming's words were undoubtedly a criticism of them.

"Teacher, what do you think?" Li Ran asked tentatively.

"The human body is a whole. If you pursue extreme speed, extreme strength, or extreme defense, you will inevitably have shortcomings in certain areas. Moreover, pursuing combat effectiveness in this way actually deviates from the true meaning of martial arts. However," Li Ming sighed, "it is unavoidable at the moment. The demons are pressing forward step by step, and the war on the front is tense. The combat capabilities of individual soldiers must be improved, but external skills are indeed a bit of a waste of time."

"What I am going to teach you may seem similar to those external skills, but its essence is completely different. It can even be said to be a whole system that transcends the qi and blood martial arts. The combination of the two will have results beyond imagination!" Li Ming said in a serious tone.

"Li Ran, you have to listen carefully to every word I say next. This is very important!"

"Okay, teacher, I will write it all down!" Li Ran replied immediately.

At this moment, a cool breeze blew towards him, and the hair swayed slightly on Li Ming's forehead. Li Ming stood with his hands behind his back, allowing another set of cultivation system to appear in this world for the first time!

"Train yourself in traditional Chinese martial arts!"

"Self-cultivation?"

"National Martial Arts?"

Surprise crossed the four people's faces as they heard these two terms. They glanced at each other, realizing they were hearing them for the first time. "The Way of Self-cultivation, as the name suggests, involves cultivating the body: refining the skin, strengthening the bones, unblocking the meridians, changing the meridians, cleansing the marrow, and transmuting the blood! This way divides the human body into six levels, from shallow to deep, from the outside in, and from this to that. Through cultivation, one strengthens one's qualities, gradually achieving the evolution of life, ultimately reaching transcendence and becoming a saint!"

Although Li Ming's words were still exaggerated this time, for some reason, Jiang Xiumei, who always liked to say that Li Ming liked to brag, just opened her mouth and didn't say a word when she saw Li Ming's back stretched out in the sunset. The four of them had actually discovered a long time ago that Li Ming was really different from ordinary teachers.

He has a mysterious origin and seems to know everything. Any problem can be solved by him. A high school teacher definitely does not have this ability.

Sometimes Jiang Xiumei even wondered whether her teacher was really like what he said, that he had participated in compiling teaching materials, was an important member of the Martial Arts Research Institute, and had once fought his way out of a siege of thousands of demons. However, Jiang Xiumei would dismiss these thoughts as soon as they came up, because they were too exaggerated. If what Li Ming said was not so outrageous, Jiang Xiumei might have believed it.

But this time, when these words were heard by them, everyone had a vague intuition that this might be true, and it could be considered extraordinary and holy!

However, Li Ming didn't care about their psychological activities, but continued to promote the program.

"Skin refining makes the membrane tough, bone strengthening makes the bones strong, meridian unblocking makes the body healthy and the Qi meridians long. The I Ching is to make the meridians unblocked and the strength penetrated. Marrow cleansing is to make the Kung Fu penetrate into the bones and marrow, and the physical fitness will leap forward. Blood transfusion is to strengthen the bone marrow and then refine it to make the blood in the body refreshed. Blood is like lead and mercury. After completing this whole process, it is considered transcending the mundane. As for becoming a saint, I have no idea yet."

Li Ming said this, but actually what he intended to teach them was the basic cultivation method that he had improved or stitched together from several worlds, the blueprint of which was the method of self-cultivation.

Reborn step by step, the human body is cultivated into an innate body. However, the traditional method of self-cultivation will eventually disperse the spirit into the flesh, achieving the so-called Vajra indestructibility. This is similar to the unity of the three innate treasures, but it is different, and it is not what Li Ming wants.

So for this purpose, Li Ming worked back and improved some of the previous things, removing the step-by-step process of incorporating the spirit into the body, and emphasizing coordination more.

Although Li Ming has a broad vision, this path is still in its infancy, so he must need some kind-hearted people to help him. In fact, at the beginning, Li Ming really planned to cooperate with the government. He initially concealed his identity and threw out medical classics and martial arts classics, and then joined the Martial Arts Research Institute as a genius. He originally wanted to slowly throw out his ideas, but he didn't know what went wrong and his background was exposed.

So the classic operation happened. The external threat of the demon clan had not been resolved, and the internal strife had taken the lead. Li Ming even had to thank the accidental void channel, otherwise Li Ming might not have any personal freedom now.

The current popularity of external skills is probably due to the work of those old guys using their remaining research notes. They never imagined that Li Ming was just trying to hide his incompetence, and that he had a whole set of industrial upgrading technologies in his mind.

You thought you drained me?

Haha, naive!
If you are unkind, why should I be righteous? The biggest advantage of small-scale experiments is that I can take care of every piece of experimental data!
