Reborn Tianlong: I practice martial arts for immortality

But Jiang Weichen had killed too many people, and too many people had their skills sucked away by him, so the name of the devil was still deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Now we have just returned from Kunlun Mountain, and before we even have time to sit down, we have to go to Taihu Lake to listen to people explain martial arts?

It seems that the martial artists in the martial arts world have been too busy in the past two years. They are either on the road or preparing to travel.

First they gathered in Shaolin to participate in the "Demon Extermination Conference", then gathered in Kunlun to exchange martial arts, and now they are gathering in Taihu to listen to people explain martial arts.

For warriors who are farther away, it takes several months to go back and forth, and they have been traveling for the past two years.

After the news of the Murong family spread, many warriors were delighted. As soon as they got the martial arts secrets, there was a master to answer their questions and resolve their doubts. This could save them a lot of time and was simply a blessing for the martial arts world.

But there are also some people who don't believe that the Murong family would be so kind. However, most martial artists in the martial arts world have nothing to do and just like to join in the fun.

So as soon as the news came out, warriors from all over the world left their hometowns again and rushed to Taihu Lake.

Dali, Zhennan Palace.

Duan Zhengchun's face changed after hearing the news from his men. He thought to himself, "I haven't seen Luo for a few years. I happened to be in Taihu Lake, so I might as well go see her. And Yuyan, she should be almost fourteen now."

Shaoshi Mountain, Main Hall.

Xuan Ji looked at the [Yi Jin Jing] brought back by his junior brother Xuan Du, and after confirming that it was the original, he wet it.

A monk immediately appeared on the book, performing various strange movements, with arrows marking his body.

Xuan Du waited until his senior brothers had finished reading before he said, “Senior Brother, the technique has been confirmed. It is a divine technique that cultivates the three meridians and seven chakras.

It's different from our Central Plains martial arts, but there are some overlaps. I asked Xu Zhu, a fellow student, to try it out, and surprisingly, there's no conflict with Shaolin internal energy."

Xuan Ji frowned and thought for a moment before asking, "Xu Zhu? Is that the dull and honest Xu Zhu who would even rush forward to protect a fellow disciple when he was about to step on an ant?"

Xuan Ji remembered that once Xu Zhu was sweeping fallen leaves, and a few fellow apprentices with the surname "Xu" passed by and were about to step on an ant on the steps.

As a result, Xu Zhu immediately lay down and covered the ant with his hand. The ant was fine, but his hand was stepped on.

But it was nothing serious, not even a scratch, but he became a laughing stock among his fellow disciples.

Xuan Du smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, it's him. In the temple, he is often isolated by his fellow disciples, but I see that he works seriously and doesn't slack off.

He also practiced martial arts quite diligently, often practicing Arhat Fist and other foundation-building boxing techniques alone in private. Over the years, his foundation became extremely solid.

Now, we have lost many Shaolin masters and there is a lack of successors, so I have only guided him a few times.

It turns out that Xu Zhu looks honest and dull, but he actually has a good understanding. He just lacked inheritance and guidance in the past, so he practiced hard on his own but couldn't find the method.

So I brought him out this time to broaden his horizons. When I got this technique at Ziyun Peak in Kunlun Mountain, I selected disciples to try it out, but he was the only one who took the initiative to try it."

Xuan Ji thought for a moment and said, "Now, Junior Brother, you are responsible for teaching this disciple. Since he has a decent understanding and has already tried to practice this magical skill, then teach him well."

Xuan Du nodded and said with a smile, "Senior Brother, I have the same idea."

After saying this, Xuan Du asked, "Brother, Brother Xuancheng has gone astray and his meridians have been broken, and he has lost all his power. However, this [Shenzu Sutra] is different from the meridians that I follow in the Central Plains. Brother Xuancheng should be able to practice it."

Xuan Ji nodded. Although he was somewhat affected, he could indeed practice again. He replied, "I will give this scripture to Senior Brother Xuan Cheng later. Senior Brother Xuan Cheng has studied Buddhism for many years. If he can really practice it, I believe he will make rapid progress."

Xuan Ji then asked, "That demon said this technique can be mastered quickly. Junior brother, do you want to know how to do it quickly?"

He read through the exercises and found no record of any quick-fix method.

"Brother, I asked, and he said that using poison can speed up cultivation, and this technique can transform toxins.

Ordinary toxins are transformed into nutrients for the body, condensing internal strength. If the toxins are from some rare poisons, they are directly converted into true qi. The stronger the poison, the faster the cultivation."

After listening to it, Xuan Ji sighed and said, "It has the same effect as the Yi Jin Jing, one positive and one strange, complementing each other.

It’s a pity that the threshold for practicing the [Yi Jin Jing] is too high, but the [Shen Zu Jing] does not have such great restrictions, and does not have the requirements of "self-image" and "other-image".

In this case, Junior Brother Xuantong, you will be responsible for collecting various poisons and providing them for Senior Brother Xuancheng's training, striving to add another master to our Shaolin."

Xuan Tong nodded, and Xuan Ji said, "As for us, we should not practice for the time being. Although there is no conflict at the moment, what if there is a conflict in the future? We can't afford the loss."

Xuan Ku and the other two nodded and then asked, "Brother, Murong Longcheng is giving a public sermon. Should we go?"

Xuan Ji shook his head and said, "We've already closed the mountain and the temple. We're going out this time to learn martial arts. How can we travel around the martial arts world so frequently? Wouldn't that be like slapping ourselves in the face?"

"Senior brother, Murong Longcheng is a grandmaster after all, and he has been lurking in Shaolin for many years. He has profound knowledge of Buddhism and may be able to teach us something." Xuan Tong said.

Xuan Du retorted, "Junior Brother, Murong Longcheng is no longer the same great monk he once was. Now that his obsession has erupted, how could he be so kind?"

Xuan Ji also clasped his hands together and said, "One thought can make you a Buddha, one thought can make you a devil. Murong Longcheng has been possessed by the devil. We are unable to stop him, so let's stay away from him.

Junior Brother Xuan Tong asked the lay disciples at the foot of the mountain to pay attention to the development of the situation and to get a real-time understanding of the dynamics of the martial arts world.

The martial arts world is in chaos right now, and without a Grandmaster to rule, our Shaolin Temple cannot withstand the turmoil. It is best to practice quietly in the temple."

…………

In the capital of the Song Dynasty, in a rather luxurious and quiet courtyard.

Chu Tiange was practicing boxing in the yard. Each move was extremely simple, yet carried a powerful momentum. Suddenly, his face turned pale and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"Damn it, Dou Zhuan Xing Yi is indeed worthy of its reputation. He used his own strength to injure me."

After wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Chu Tiange returned to the house. The imperial physician brought him a bowl of medicinal soup and said, "Master Chu, you have internal injuries and need to rest. If you continue practicing boxing, it will only delay your recovery and may even make your injuries worse."

Chu Tiange took the medicine soup, drank it all, and said, "If I don't practice boxing, I will have nowhere to vent the depression in my heart, how can I rest?

I don't care what method you use, but my injury must be healed within three months, otherwise you will be punished by His Majesty."

The imperial physician's face was full of bitterness, and he cursed in his heart, "You man, you're so damn hard to serve."

At this moment, a voice suddenly came: "Chu Tiange, are you injured?"

Chapter 317 Xiang Kui

Chu Tiange looked outside the door following the voice, and saw a red-haired man with no beard, wearing a black robe, with a tall posture, a stern face, and sharp eyes. He seemed to be moving slowly but was actually very fast. In the blink of an eye, he came into the house from ten feet away.

A subordinate from the back came running in to apologize, "Sir, I was just a blink away, and this person rushed past me and broke in. Please forgive me, sir."

Chu Tiange waved his hand and asked his men to retreat. This man was Xiang Kui, who was 28 years younger than him, but had extraordinary talent, even higher than him. This was also the only person of his generation that he admired.

Xiang Kui was originally just an ordinary eunuch who was assigned to clean the library in the imperial palace.

As a result, he read countless classics in there, and his internal skills improved rapidly, but he remained unknown.

At the age of 35, he suddenly left the library and demonstrated his martial arts to others for the first time.

This move directly defeated the then Chief of the Inner Court, demonstrating the strength of a peak Grandmaster and shocking everyone.

Without any resources to help him, he remained unknown in the library for more than 20 years and directly cultivated to the peak of the Grandmaster level.

After a series of tests to confirm his loyalty, he was directly promoted to the head of the Inner Court at the age of forty.

At that time, Chu Tiange was already 68 years old. He had broken through the Grandmaster realm and suppressed the entire Song Dynasty martial arts world for many years.

One of them was dealing with the outside world, while the other was dealing with the inside world. They cooperated well with each other and exchanged martial arts from time to time.

Chu Tiange's progress was slow after he broke through to the Grandmaster level, and Xiang Kui seemed to be stuck at the peak of the Grandmaster level and unable to move forward.

Chu Tiange originally thought that Xiang Kui’s body was incomplete, his Yang Qi was leaking, and his essence was insufficient, so he could not break through to the Grandmaster level.

As a result, after another twenty years of silence, he made a breakthrough at the age of sixty when his energy and blood had not yet declined.

Chu Tiange didn't care about Xiang Kui's breakthrough. After all, he had been making great progress before reaching the Grandmaster level, but his progress became slow after breaking through to the Grandmaster level.

This is due to the limitations of the natural environment, and more importantly, the lack of one's own understanding.

He thought Xiang Kui would do the same, but Xiang Kui was unstoppable. With the help of some spiritual medicines in the palace, it only took him thirty years to break through to the middle stage of the Grandmaster again.

But he, Chu Tiange, was still in the early stage of Grand Master, which made him very disappointed and he lowered his proud head for the first time.

Chu Tiange looked at Xiang Kui and said, "Xiang Kui, you finally came out of seclusion. If you don't come out again, I won't be able to control this imperial city."

Xiang Kui was a little surprised and said, "Chu Tiange, what kind of blow have you suffered? You used to be so domineering and overbearing, looking down on everyone in the world and believing that you had an iron fist that was invincible. What happened to you now?"

The two have known each other for fifty or sixty years, so they are naturally familiar with each other and speak very casually.

Chu Tiange sighed, and said with a somewhat dejected look, "I also thought that as long as I came out of seclusion, the martial arts world would still be easily suppressed by me as before.

But recently, a monster appeared in this world. He was originally a pawn of the Imperial City Bureau, but he killed the previous head of the bureau, Huangfu Song.

After I came out of seclusion, I thought of using him one more time and then getting rid of him, but it turned out that the man was a turtle shell and had absorbed the power of countless people, so I couldn't take him down.

I tortured him for over half an hour, but ended up helping him comprehend the artistic conception. A demon who is not even a Grandmaster but has comprehended the artistic conception was born under my wing."

Xiang Kui also heard about this after he came out of seclusion and sighed, "The world is weak, it is rare for such a person to be born."

Chu Tiange added: "Your disciple went with Huangfu Song to kill him, but was killed in return."

Xiang Kui's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this. "Liu Zhang, his aptitude is good, his strength is acceptable, but his character is not. He has been affected by the technique and has been unable to break free from it. His achievements are limited to this."

His original intention in creating the [Sunflower Manual] was to restore his penis and make up for his lost masculinity.

Therefore, the Tongmai realm only cultivates the yang-attributed meridians. After he took charge of the Neiting Division, he selected many people with good qualifications from the Huangcheng Division to practice.

As a result, the cultivator's Yang energy did increase greatly, but before he could be happy, all those people became consumed by lust and became possessed.

Xiang Kui realized that the normal human body has a balance of yin and yang, and practicing will destroy this balance, causing physical problems.

Eunuchs are men, but they have lost their penis and yang energy, which makes them suitable for cultivation.

So he selected many eunuchs from the Inner Court to practice. This time there were no problems, and the meridians were opened up extremely quickly, but apart from that there was no other effect, which did not meet his expectations.

So he spent eight years reviewing many Taoist classics, and understood the principle that all things return to yin and embrace yang, and knew that the growth of all things requires the harmony of yin and yang.

So he used the theory of Yin and Yang to continuously improve the "Sunflower Manual" to achieve the mutual transformation of Yin and Yang.

At that time, his Sunflower Manual was divided into three stages:

The first stage: The inner strength is explosively masculine, and the mind is feminine.

The second stage: The inner energy's yang extreme generates yin, and the mind changes from yin to yang.

The third stage: The internal strength is balanced with both yin and yang, and the mind and nature follow the yin and yang of the heart.

His pursuit is to nourish the body through the mutual transformation of yin and yang, through the yin and yang transformation of internal skills and mind, in order to realize the vision of the transformation of heaven and man, the growth of all things, and the rebirth of the male root.

After completing the three stages, he was already fifty-five years old and had no time to select people to experiment with his skills.

So he could only try to change his cultivation on his own. Fortunately, there was no problem with his technique. It took him two years to transform his original true qi into sunflower true qi.

It took him another three years to achieve the transformation of his internal energy from yang to yin, and his mind from yin to yang. When the transformation was completed, he was already sixty years old.

His body was already incomplete, so he didn't dare to delay and attacked the Grandmaster directly. Unexpectedly, the Niwan Palace, which had made no progress and could not be broken, was broken open in one fell swoop.
