From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

This path must not be opened, otherwise it will lead to endless generations of descendants... no, it should be endless generations of ancestors.

Enter Baozhitang.

Mr. Niu invited everyone to the living room and served them fine tea.

Tea time is over.

Huang Feihong talked to Jiang Liu about the Qi energy of boxing, wanting to test Jiang Liu's skills.

As the saying goes, "Let's see what it's really like."

Even now, newspapers are still reporting on Jiang Liu's skills since the Yuhang Martial Arts Tournament ended, saying that he is proficient in everything. Now that he has actually met Jiang Liu, he naturally has to ask him about it.

Jiang Liu, however, answered fluently, explaining Ming Jin, An Jin, and Hua Jin, and also proposed Dan Jin as well as the two kinds of force that break through the void and see the spirit without decay.

"President Jiang, the first three strengths are indeed similar terms implied in the teachings of those of us who cultivate Qi and practice martial arts when passing on our skills to our disciples."

Overt strength is hard, covert strength is soft, and transformative strength merges and transforms yin and yang.

Taking Tai Chi Chuan as an example, whether it is Wudang Tai Chi or other schools of Tai Chi Chuan, the cultivation of these three energies is most obvious, while other styles of Tai Chi Chuan are more mixed.

But this inner strength, and that ability to break through the void and remain indestructible even when facing the divine—

I've never heard of that before.

Listening to Jiang Liu describe the different types of force, Huang Feihong nodded repeatedly, thinking that it would be good to make a clear distinction between the three types of force—bright, dark, and neutral—so that his disciples would have a goal to strive for when practicing.

However, this Dan Jin, as well as the ability to break through the void and remain indestructible even when seeing the divine, left him somewhat bewildered and unable to comprehend it.

"The so-called Dan Jin is the cultivation of strength to the point where Qi Jin circulates throughout the body, condensing essence, Qi and spirit, and harmonizing them into one, thus forming a perfect Dan."

Jiang Liu was not stingy in sharing his experience: "It is not easy to cultivate Dan Jin to perfection. Those who have just begun to understand Dan Jin can only rely on their own strength, that is, to condense their essence, energy and spirit, gather them in the dantian, transform them into Qi Jin, and throw a punch that stirs up the wind and clouds and shakes like thunder."

Upon hearing this, Huang Feihong stood up, walked out of the living room, and practiced his Qi energy. He circulated his Qi energy throughout his body, relaxed his nine orifices, concentrated his essence, energy, and spirit, gathered them in his dantian, and threw a punch towards the sky. A golden Qi energy burst forth, extremely fierce, causing the air to explode like a cannon. It also stirred up a wave of air, forcing everyone to retreat.

Even Lin Shirong, Huang Feihong's disciple, had no choice but to raise his hand to resist. However, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Jiang Liu and Duanmu Ying standing still, like pillars of the sea, unmoved by the wind and waves.

What an incredible life!

Huang Feihong withdrew his strength and saw how calm and composed Jiang Liu and Duanmu Ying were. He sighed inwardly, then laughed twice and exclaimed, "Chairman Jiang is indeed extraordinary!"

"No, it's just that Master Huang's control over Qi is already incredibly profound," Jiang Liu said with a smile.

If Huang Feihong didn't have that foundation, no matter how eloquently Jiang Liu spoke, he wouldn't be able to control the Dan Jin!

"Alas, true teachings can be conveyed in a single sentence, while false teachings fill countless volumes. When I was young, I learned Tiger Fist and Crane Fist and made quite a name for myself. Little did I know that in the eyes of true masters, I was merely showing off my limited skills before an expert."

Huang Feihong understood that Jiang Liu named his strength "Dan Jin," and the single word "Dan" proved that this concept originated from Taoism.

of course.

Huang Feihong also knew that Taoists mostly cultivated their life force and emphasized brute force, but did not pay much attention to Qi. Even Wudang, famous for its Tai Chi Chuan, also emphasized the two words "life force".

therefore.

This concept of "Dan Jin" is unprecedented in history. It is probably a summary made by Chairman Jiang himself based on Taoist cultivation theory and combined with Qi Jin.

Based on this alone, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a grandmaster!

# Chapter 993 Leading by Example

"If you're already this good after just glimpsing the basics of Dan Jin, what will it be like after you've mastered it?"

Huang Feihong pressed on with the question.

"With each breath, the vital energy flows through every cell of the body. By using the mind and body as the core, and combining this with the practice of cultivating life, one can remain in the peak state until the end of one's lifespan."

Jiang Liu replied, "The Taoist priests of the Zhengyi sect, especially those from the Celestial Master's Mansion on Longhu Mountain, practice the Golden Light Mantra, which has a similar effect."

Once they can cultivate the golden light to the point that it permeates every cell of their body, they will achieve the effect I described.

However, based on my deduction, if they also focused on cultivating Qi and combined it with the Golden Light Mantra, they could reach this state much sooner.

Just like Zhang Zhiwei.

The effect of being bathed in light and struck by thunder cannot be achieved through mere spiritual perception; the world also adheres to materialism.

Zhang Zhiwei definitely needs to further improve his physical Qi cultivation system; otherwise, reaching the level of "a glimmer of white light illuminating the ancestral aperture" will truly only be a dream come true for him.

Upon hearing these words, Wong Fei-hung was speechless. He felt that Jiang Liu was young and arrogant, and that he actually looked down on the Golden Light Mantra of the Celestial Master's Mansion. However, he also had a strange thought that Jiang Liu actually had such abilities. So he asked again, "Then what kind of realm is it to break through the void and see the indestructible god?"

"The so-called void refers to the emptiness of the human body. After cultivating the elixir and achieving perfect harmony of essence, energy and spirit, one can further explore one's own inner landscape."

That is, the spiritual world.

Regarding the inner realm, both Taoism and Buddhism have methods to allow people to enter it directly, while it is even simpler for sorcerers to enter it.

interior.

It sounds mysterious, but once you find the method, getting inside is a piece of cake.

However, for other practitioners who are neither Buddhist nor Taoist, entering the inner realm is not easy, especially for those who practice martial arts or cultivate Qi. Even if they are exceptionally talented and stronger than their Taoist or Buddhist counterparts, they cannot enter the inner realm without the proper method.

Jiang Liu's talk of breaking through the void and seeing the indestructible spirit refers to the process of using Qi to circulate the acupoints throughout the body after the Dan Jin (internal energy) has been perfected. This involves connecting the acupoints and stimulating one's own magnetic field, and then using the nine acupoints as a foundation to construct a talisman shape, thereby helping the practitioner to open up their mental landscape.

It is precisely the Supreme Heaven-Opening Talisman-Holding Method—

Qi-invigorating version!

Light and darkness transform, Dan Gang Shen.

These six characters represent the concept of realm from "Chinese martial arts novels" that Jiang Liu had learned about in his previous life. Qi Jin also has the concept of light and darkness, and Dan Jin is the realm of cultivating Qi Jin to the point of penetrating the entire body.

As for the internal energy...

It was abandoned by the river.

In its definition, "罡劲" refers to the ability of force to penetrate the body... but in his reality, this is clearly superfluous.

Because anyone who cultivates Qi can use Qi to project their power through their body, forcibly establishing such a state would be laughable.

The final breakthrough to break through the void and see the indestructible god involves using force to control the human magnetic field, leveraging one's own spiritual world, cultivating the Supreme Talismanic Method, and opening up the mind's realm.

Without him.

At least in this reality, the great paths lead to the same destination.

No matter how mysterious the power is, it is still just a kind of force, a kind of technique.

For true practitioners, focusing on strength while neglecting the essential Qi is not only a misguided path, but also a case of putting the cart before the horse.

"Has Chairman Jiang reached the state of indestructibility after seeing gods?"

When Huang Feihong heard about the cultivation of seeing gods without decay, he dared not imagine it, but as a martial artist, he still wanted to find out the reason and get a glimpse into the essence of that realm.

"Breaking through the void and seeing the indestructible spirit is a theoretical path that I have deduced for practitioners of Qi cultivation, from technique to law, and then to the Dao. I myself do not follow this path."

Jiang Liu smiled lightly.

But how intelligent was Wong Fei-hung? Even in his old age, his mind remained sharp, and he already knew that Jiang Liu had transcended the realm of breaking through the void and seeing the indestructible god.

That was an unimaginable realm that he, who had practiced martial arts all his life, could not comprehend.

"I have practiced martial arts all my life, and I thought that even if I couldn't compare to those masters at the top of the mountain, I wouldn't be much worse. But now that I have met Chairman Jiang, I realize how high his cultivation level is. I am ashamed."

After a sigh, Wong Fei-hung pulled Lam Sai-wing to his side and asked, "President Jiang, would you be willing to teach Sai-wing a move or two?"

He was also a gifted individual, reaching the height of an eight or nine-year-old child at the age of three, and possessing superhuman strength. Even before learning martial arts or cultivating Qi, his arms had the strength of a thousand pounds.

There's only so much I can teach him... and now he's wasted nearly thirty or forty years of his life. I feel incredibly ashamed, and I only regret not meeting Chairman Jiang sooner."

"Master, don't you want me anymore?"

Lin Shirong was shocked, realizing that Jiang Liu was not just a name without substance. But it was absolutely impossible for him to sever his master-disciple relationship with Huang Feihong and become the disciple of someone he had just met!

"Don't act like a little girl! A man's ambition lies in all corners of the world! People call you Pork Rong, but I know you are the most promising of all my disciples!"

Huang Feihong's face was serious and his eyes were sharp. "For ordinary people who don't live past fifty, forty or fifty years old is already old age and they are about to be buried. But for us who practice Qi cultivation and martial arts, it is just the prime of life!"

I have nothing more to teach you. Even if you cling to me and further develop the skills I taught you, what good will it do?

If you want a brighter future, you must sever our master-disciple relationship and become a disciple of another.

This action was not only intended to help Lin Shirong receive guidance from Jiang Liu, but also to set an example for Mr. Niu.

If you truly want what's best for your disciples, don't try to have it both ways. Cultivation requires making choices, and so does life.

He was reluctant to part with his disciples, yet he wanted them to learn medical skills from other schools, thinking that as long as he planned properly, others would give him face... Even if he got lucky for a while, he couldn't escape it forever.

People all respect doctors.

That's true.

But in this world, there are plenty of crazy people, idiots, and hot-blooded individuals who dare to offend doctors. How can one really rely on their status as a doctor to get others to give them face?

of course.

Huang Feihong was also exposed to Western knowledge and ideas when he was young, and he was an open-minded person.

Mr. Niu did understand, but he was truly reluctant to completely give up Wang Zizhong to Jishetang.

He's the apple of my eye!

Therefore, at this moment he could only lower his head and pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Seeing this, Huang Feihong sighed inwardly, ignored him, and continued to ask Jiang Liu, "Chairman Jiang, are you willing to take Lin Shirong as your subordinate?"

"Master Huang, you're putting me in a difficult position."

It's not impossible to take on apprentices.

But in front of Mr. Niu, Master Liu, and others, the "happy ending" is not a good thing.

According to his thinking, even if Lin Shirong does not sever his master-disciple relationship with Huang Feihong, he can still be taught martial arts by him. But should Master Liu of Jishetang and Doctor Duanmu follow his example and take in Wang Zizhong without requiring him to sever his master-disciple relationship with Mr. Niu?

It's not that Jiang Liu wants to see Wang Zizhong sever his master-disciple relationship with Mr. Niu, but doing so would be a moral blackmail against Jishetang!

How could he do such a thing?

But it wouldn't be good to refuse outright, and the Confucian Association was short of people. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Master Huang, since you have such a magnanimous heart, it would be unfair of me not to satisfy you."
