People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 12 Thin Tiger
In the bathroom, the water from the shower head fell, washing away the sweat on Li Qi's body.

Li Qi looked at the muscle lines on his body in the mirror, feeling satisfied and a little happy.

Under normal circumstances, the shape of human muscles is generally fixed, and exercise will only make them bigger without changing their shape too much.

But the martial arts in this world are not so simple. Even though Li Qi has just started, he has already shown the difference.

If you look closely, you will find that Li Qi's muscles are now slender and thin, like a layer of armor, tightly draped over his body, and the entire muscle shape has extremely clear layers.

But even with such small muscles, he was able to swing the sword with all his strength, with the blade cutting through the air and making a loud bang.

If you look at Li Qi's back, you can see that the muscle contours on his back, if he exerts force, actually have the meaning of outlining the shape of a tiger.

This is the practice of body refining!
Different martial arts can shape different muscle shapes.

At the same time, Li Qi also knew that the reason for such a change was that the practice here was to use a strong mind and spirit to control and interfere with the body.

The body's nervous system is the most closely connected to the spirit.

In fact, in his previous life, Li Qi had read some reports that said scientific institutions had conducted physical examinations on monks and Taoists who meditated and chanted scriptures for many years, and found that their nervous systems were far more active than those of ordinary people.

Therefore, many Taoists and monks who practice martial arts look very thin and don’t have much flesh on their bodies, but they have great explosive power. Even if they are in their seventies or eighties, they can still walk briskly.

On the contrary, those huge muscles built in the gym will suffer from injuries when they get older and will not live long.

Therefore, in the past life, there was a saying that the muscles gained in the gym are dead muscles.

But in fact, muscles are muscles, there is no such thing as dead muscles.

The reason for this difference is nothing more than the direction of exercise. One is to exercise the volume of muscles. Bigger means stronger, more means stronger. The bigger the muscles, the stronger they are naturally.

The other thing to pursue is muscle density, or more precisely, the nerve density within the muscles. The muscles become stronger and stronger due to the control of the nervous system. For the same volume, the higher the density of your nervous system, the more active it is, and the more explosive your power will naturally be.

As for injuries in old age, it is simply because the more muscles you have, the more qi, blood and vitality are consumed. When you exercise your muscles, it is impossible to exercise your internal organs. If you have too much muscle, your lungs and organs cannot be overburdened, and you naturally cannot live a long life.

In this world, nerve density and muscle volume can actually be achieved at the same time, but it requires countless hard work. People's time and energy are limited, and the growth and changes of the body also require a process.

Instead of making progress in both directions, it is better to achieve perfection in one direction first, and then pursue the other direction, which is the horizontal training in spiritual practice!

There are two ways of practicing here, training and fighting. Among them, the training method has three aspects, namely, nourishing training, martial training, and horizontal training!
Nourishing and training is to maintain health, martial arts training is to transform vitality and potential into strength, and horizontal training is the most brutal, which destroys the body to the extreme and rebuilds the flesh, making the body strong and indestructible, even an indestructible golden body. Even dozens or hundreds of years after death, the flesh will be immortal and lifelike.

Therefore, if one wants to practice horizontal cultivation, one must either have the help of a peerless master to control the details, or one must reach a sufficient level, have a detailed grasp of oneself, and have insight into the various changes in the body before one can succeed in practicing horizontal cultivation.

Otherwise, if you are not careful, you will die suddenly.

Martial arts such as the Golden Bell Cover, Iron Cloth Shirt, and Iron Sand Palm that Li Qi had in his previous life were not actually considered true horizontal training. They were too destructive to one's own body. The more one trained, the duller the body became, and one could not stand up after breaking through. The more one trained, the sharper one became.

"The fiercest of all tigers is undoubtedly the skinny tiger!"

"According to the records of the old man's life in the family tree, at the peak of his life, he was extremely thin and fierce. A single look could make a child stop crying. He even scared a vicious dog to death with a loud roar..."

"But later on, the old man realized a more profound truth and returned to his original nature!"

"My swordsmanship is only at its infancy now, so I can't possibly reach the state of mind that the old man has now. So if I have to learn, I'll learn from the old man when he was young. The more ferocious my mind is, the faster my swordsmanship will improve."

"I used to practice swordsmanship diligently, but I was still a little overweight. It was simply because I hadn't mastered the swordsmanship yet. I hadn't even started to refine my body..." "The forced increase in proficiency on the panel wasn't added out of thin air. Instead, as I practiced, a mysterious force constantly corrected my physical and mental structure..."

Li Qi looked at the outline of his muscles with satisfaction and murmured to himself.

"According to the current progress, even if it's just steady sword training, it will only take about ten days to enter the country!"

"Actually, Form Refining is usually done after entering the country. The reason I did it earlier is, on the one hand, because of the correction effect of the panel, and on the other hand, because I am too compatible with this sword technique. Both are indispensable!"

"The cycle of life and death breeds evil, and the dark and cruel tiger walks alone in this world..."

"Just because you haven't entered the country doesn't mean you can't apply for entry."

Li Qi talked to himself.

He is naturally aware of how good the medicine is. Although he is cheating now, he will not complain that he is progressing too fast.

What's more, he had never used such a good thing before. This kind of medicine would undoubtedly have the best effect the first time it was used. The second time it would not have much effect, it would just be a tonic. The third time it would be no different from an ordinary medicinal bath.

"It is said that this medicine has some effect of changing one's innate nature. Could it be that it adds an innate coefficient..."

Li Qi looked at the innate coefficient 1.13 on his panel.

Although he is still far from reaching his current ceiling, no one would complain that his ceiling is high.

In this world, there is no such thing as you cannot reach the next level without reaching the upper limit. What exists is that if your potential is insufficient, even if you reach the upper limit, it will not be enough to complete the qualitative change of your life. This is the naked reality.

Of course, this innate quality is more related to the physical body. The mind, will, and wisdom only have initial values, which are somewhat related to this. As for the acquired upper limit, there seems to be no so-called upper limit at present.

As for the six-dimensional attributes, they are the six directions of life.

Jing Yuan represents the physical body itself, Qi Yuan is the energy system that maintains the functioning of the body, Shen Yuan represents the collection of the nervous system, subconscious mind, cellular consciousness... and so on, not just brain waves or spirit.

It can be said that the three elements of essence, energy and spirit represent the real side of the two phases of reality and illusion, and are the carrier of truth and reality.

The mind, will and wisdom represent the virtual side, are the presentation of self, are the key to controlling oneself, and are also the key to spiritual practice. The combination of the three is the true spirit!
And through practice, one can subdue the mind, sharpen the will, and suddenly realize wisdom...

These twelve words have already explained everything about spiritual practice!

Li Qi's six-dimensional attributes, mind, will, and wisdom, are obviously higher, which is due to reincarnation.

But at this moment, Li Qi's expression condensed slightly, and then relaxed.

Just a moment ago, he actually saw a few wisps of black mist on himself in the mirror, as if he had encountered a supernatural event, but Li Qi knew that it was just an illusion.

"Is this what I'm supposed to encounter? I'm still some distance away from entering the country, and yet I'm already being attacked by demonic energy. This is something that only true geniuses possess. Even geniuses might encounter it, but it's not guaranteed. As for ordinary people, don't even think about it..."

Li Qi thought.

He naturally knew that if he put aside the panel, he was definitely not a peerless genius at the moment. If he was a peerless genius, even without the panel, three days would be enough for him to practice the Eighteen Tiger Evil Swords to the point of meditation, instead of three months.

How can one easily be given the word "peerless"?
