With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 68 Reflections on Standing Posture Exercises
A while later...

As Meng Chuan's body grew stronger, his appetite also increased significantly.

He ate most of the pot of rice by himself today. Xue Na and Meng Yongzhi had already finished eating and were sitting on the sofa watching TV.

Meng Yongzhi was extremely comfortable, with his legs crossed and the walnuts Meng Chuanchuan had just bought for him in his hand, making a constant crackling sound.

Xue Na couldn't stand the annoying sound anymore and couldn't help but complain:

"Stop fiddling with that broken walnut, it's so noisy I can't even hear the TV."

Meng Yongzhi picked up the remote control and pressed the volume up button.

"It's okay, you can turn it up if you can't hear it clearly."

Xue Na was furious and snatched the walnuts from Meng Yongzhi's hand, throwing them at Meng Chuan.

Then he said:

"Chuan'er, crush it quickly, I can't take it anymore."

Meng Chuan looked at the walnuts in his hand with a hint of helplessness.

"."

At this moment, Yong'an TV station is broadcasting the latest developments of the demon's lair outside the city.

Because Meng Yongzhi turned the TV volume up extremely high, Meng Chuan could hear it clearly in the dining room.

[Hello, CCTV host, hello viewers, can you hear me?]

[I'm Liu Xiaoyun, the host of this event. Can you see the mist behind me? This is the Heavenly Demon Force surrounding the entire Demon Nest.]

Hearing this, Meng Chuan couldn't help but come over to take a look.

[Yes, the entrance to the Level 4 Demon Nest outside Yong'an City is 30 meters behind me. A large number of military experts arrived 30 minutes ago and are currently engaged in fierce fighting inside.]

These large pieces of equipment around me are the latest anti-demonic devices developed by the National Research Center. For example, this cylindrical, transparent column is used to detect changes in the concentration of the demonic force field.

[Now half of it has turned black. According to the scale, the force field concentration inside the Demon Nest is currently at level four.]

Xue Na, while eating fruit, said:

"With so much high technology, our country is really amazing now. The military has even arrived on site. Does this mean the lockdown will be lifted soon?"

Meng Yongzhi was still angry about the walnuts and said sullenly:
"What a stupid woman, why lift the lockdown? This will only make the situation worse!"

Meng Chuan agreed with his uncle; the logic was the same, and the official stability-maintenance reports from the Great Chu state should be interpreted in reverse.
There was no further news, so Meng Chuan returned to his bedroom to prepare for Zhan Zhuang (standing meditation).

Uncle watched Meng Chuan walk into the bedroom, muttering to himself:

"Our Meng family is counting on Chuan'er to become a true dragon."

Regardless of the changing external situation, martial arts training always comes first.

"You must treat stance training like eating and drinking every day; you can't skip a single day of practice."

Master Luo's teachings echoed in his mind, and Meng Chuan cast aside all distracting thoughts and focused intently on practicing his stance.

Time passed second by second. Standing meditation is the best way to test one's patience. Meng Chuan was using perseverance and momentum to fight against the fatigue in his body.

In fact, as Meng Chuan became more proficient in the Three Talents Stance, he gradually adapted to this kind of training.

According to the summaries of martial arts predecessors, the human stance training stage is divided into three levels.

The first level is a disorganized body structure.

Beginners may feel particularly uncomfortable when practicing Zhan Zhuang (standing meditation). As they maintain the posture, their bodies will gradually feel as if they are falling apart.

The second level is characterized by a light body and a strong breath.

The human body has a strong self-adaptive capacity. As the practice of standing meditation progresses and deepens, the feeling of disarray in the body will gradually subside, and the body will have a faint sense of lightness.

But fatigue will soon follow, and he is currently at this level. There is no other way but to fight it with perseverance and momentum.

The third level is when the body is accustomed to the correct structure, without any special sensations. This is what Master Luo often said: treat standing meditation like eating and drinking.

Once you reach this level, you can contemplate the principles of boxing or watch martial arts instructional videos while practicing standing meditation, which is called multitasking.

After about five hours of exhilarating practice, Meng Chuan looked at the Martial Arts Limit Break panel.

[Taiyi Three Talents Stance: Human Stance (54%) → (55%) Awaiting Limit Break]

[Limit Breaking Trait: Morning and Evening Enlightenment (Beginner)]

"It is true that stance training becomes increasingly difficult to improve as you progress. It takes nearly 15 hours of training over three days to increase proficiency by 1%. In the future, I will definitely spend more and more time on stance training."

This is the first major hurdle on the path of martial arts. Countless people with good aptitude fail to achieve anything because they give up on this hurdle of perseverance.

"In any case, my progress is pretty good. By the time I break through the fifth level, my stance training will be at least 60% complete. As long as I can keep up with the rate of improvement in my Qi and Blood, that's fine."

"Of course, my biggest advantage over others in stance training is that it is a permanent certificate."

Standing meditation is a slow and steady process. If you don't practice it every day, and only practice sporadically, your body's functions will gradually deteriorate and weaken over time, returning to a state of structural disarray.

Meng Chuan is different; never forgetting his past mistakes may be his greatest advantage now and in the future.

After finishing his standing meditation, taking a shower, and drying his hair, Meng Chuan felt that he still had plenty of energy, which was probably related to the fact that he hadn't been feeling well and had rested all day yesterday, so he hadn't practiced much.

His sleep time has been shortened a lot. It's almost midnight, and he has to get up at five o'clock for morning exercise. After hesitating for a moment, Meng Chuan decided to force himself to sleep.

Twenty minutes later.

Meng Chuan still couldn't sleep, so he simply opened his phone and browsed the Wuhan Chamber of Commerce.

"It's true what they say, 'The poor study literature, the rich study martial arts.' Even the smallest thing that's useful for martial arts training costs over five figures."

He originally thought that the more than one million in his account was quite a lot, but now it seems that it is far from enough.

At the top of the store's homepage, a 24-hour auction is currently underway.

Meng Chuan clicked on it out of curiosity and found a martial arts pill called "Pure Jade Gourd". It looked just like its name, a small emerald green gourd. The bidding price had already exceeded nine figures.

He clicked on the description and realized that this thing was indeed extraordinary.

Occasionally, it grows in the deepest part of demon nests of level three or above. After being picked, it needs to be blended and refined with hundreds of precious auxiliary medicines.

After the medicinal properties of the auxiliary medicines have been thoroughly boiled away, the auxiliary medicines need to be added again and the refining process needs to continue for a year before the medicine can be used.

Its function is very simple. It is mainly used to assist martial arts masters in condensing their intent and breaking through limits. It also has minor functions such as enhancing qi and blood, and promoting blood production and muscle regeneration.

Meng Chuan was deeply moved, saying that no matter where you are, money can solve 99% of the problems.

"We still need to work hard to make money."

As he continued flipping through the pages, he saw countless pills worth millions or even tens of millions of taels of silver, which made Meng Chuan very envious.

When he scrolled to the new product tasting area, he discovered that a special page for honors had suddenly appeared.

Meng Chuan clicked out of curiosity.

[Verification successful. Welcome, esteemed Silver Lion]

It certainly had an impressive presence, and Meng Chuan was a little smug.

Upon entering the interface, it is completely empty, with only one line of large text displayed.

[Currently being released, please stay tuned]

"What are you doing opening if you don't have the goods?"

It was already very late, so Meng Chuan closed his phone and counted sheep before going to sleep.

In my dream, the plump little lambs turned into one after another emerald green gourds.

"One hundred million, two hundred million, three hundred million"
