Chapter 219 Chapter 216: Reaching an Agreement (12)

On the first day of the martial arts discussion, Chu Zhou elaborated in detail on the principles and process of Xuanzhen Temple’s secret martial arts, starting from sensing qi and blood, condensing strength, to tempering the body, to the five elements training of the internal organs, to the hundred-day marrow cleansing, to the ultimate blood exchange…

This is the path Chu Zhou has walked step by step, and he has clearly explained the advantages and disadvantages.

Yes, both advantages and disadvantages are included!
Without mentioning anything else, just one thing is that the power of Xuanzhen Temple’s secret martial arts is unquestionable, but at the same time, the difficulty of practicing it is also increased.

If there are not enough tonic substances, the speed of cultivation will be much slower.

This naturally does not matter to a large sect like the Ba Sect, but it is not very friendly to some small sects with scarce resources.

On this day, Xiong Kuohai just listened carefully, pondering the information in Chu Zhou’s words, and from time to time a look of realization flashed across his face.

But he didn’t say a word, not a single word!
It was not until the second day of the martial arts discussion that Xiong Kuohai finally began to argue with Chu Zhou, starting from every doubt he had accumulated and ending with the Tongmai internal energy that he was most concerned about.

Yes, he keenly perceived the true mystery of Xuanzhen Temple’s secret martial arts.

Compared to the internal strength of this world, Xuanzhen Temple starts with the practice of Qigong, which begins by drawing Qi into the body, peeking into the wonders of the spiritual power of heaven and earth, and starting from cultivating magic power.

When magic power is used as internal force, it seems to have the same effect, but the effects and power are very different.

It was also here that Chu Zhou saw Xiong Kuohai with shining eyes, feeling a kind of joy and happiness as if “I could die in the evening if I heard the truth in the morning”.

He asked the most questions in this regard, and Chu Zhou did not hesitate too much, but told him the mystery of the Qi-inducing method.

Starting from the operation of the spirit between heaven and earth, to the principles of breathing and drawing air into the body, from the screening function of meridians and acupoints as the basis, to the various means of collecting magic power into the sea of ​​consciousness…

These were truly secrets that were never to be passed on, and Xiong Kuohai listened very seriously, but he did not just listen and not say anything.

He also elaborated on his understanding of martial arts, his understanding of internal strength, his explanation of the changes in qi, and his thoughts on the traditional martial arts system.

You have to admit that truly beneficial teaching is always a win-win situation. While the learners suddenly gain enlightenment, the teachers also gain a lot.

It was also during this time that Chu Zhou glimpsed the true meaning of internal martial arts.

Chu Zhou started with the art of eating qi and practicing the “Spirit Verification Method”. He had never practiced internal energy. Although he had seen many methods of practicing internal energy, he had never tried them, so naturally he didn’t understand their essence.

But this time Xiong Kuohai explained it clearly to him.

At the beginning of internal strength, it has nothing to do with heaven and earth, nor with spiritual inspiration. Standing meditation and breathing methods are all sought within, which is to restrain one’s own essence, energy and spirit, thus forming a cycle and blessing oneself.

However, no matter how magical the small world in the human body is, it has its limits. Compared with the big world outside, it is not worth mentioning.

Therefore, at the beginning of practicing internal energy, it is not only of no benefit to oneself, but may even cause harm.

Only by achieving the innate ability and opening the Ren and Du meridians can one choose a part of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to accommodate oneself. Only in this way can one be said to have embarked on a new path.

Going further up, the true meaning of martial arts condensed by the masters and grand masters of martial arts is actually to control the spiritual power of heaven and earth with the true meaning. The means are a bit crude, but the effect is still there and can also benefit oneself.

However, if we really compare it with the immortal way, both start from drawing qi into the body and absorbing and exhaling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. There is a huge difference between the two.

It can be said that Xuanzhen Temple’s Tongmai, through the practice of Qigong, is already comparable to that of an innate martial artist.

Moreover, this does not include the power of magic and the use of spells.

In a sense, the secret martial arts of Xuanzhen Temple are at least two levels higher than traditional martial arts, and are a true fusion of immortal martial arts.

In addition, what Xiong Kuohai is most concerned about is the height that the secret martial arts of Xuanzhen Temple can reach.

Six to nine marrow cleansing and blood transfusions, pushing the body’s limits again and again, thus forging a truly immortal body, is this true or false?

If this question had been asked before, Chu Zhou really wouldn’t have been able to answer it in detail.

But now, after his first blood transfusion and physical transformation, he has become truly extraordinary and can demonstrate it.

Not to mention other things, just after using the supernatural power of the physical body and the method of blood and qi wolf smoke, Xiong Kuohai was stunned!

He stared blankly, as if he couldn’t recover from the shock for a long time.

This time, both Xiong Kuohai and Chu Zhou gained a lot.

Chu Zhou thought that this was the end, because he had nothing more to say.

But on the third day of the discussion on martial arts, Xiong Kuohai actually talked about the core martial arts of the Ba Sect – “The Overlord’s Body”, including the martial arts that integrated the secret martial arts of the Xuanzhen Temple. His speech was not fast, but serious and firm.

Chu Zhou was stunned, because this was equivalent to revealing the most core mystical skills of the Ba Zong.

Chu Zhou also witnessed the most advanced magical skills in this world, which are indeed unique.

The most special thing about “The Overlord” is actually the stage of training the internal organs. They have a strange mind-training technique called “The Overlord’s Heart”.

When practicing internal organs, you can use the unique meridian circulation method to strengthen your heart and enhance cardiovascular circulation.

Based on this, all disciples of Ba Zong will have extraordinary physique, amazing eyesight, and even fearlessness, the courage and ambition to fight to the death.

Of course, sometimes they become irritable, impulsive, and easily angered because of their obsession with this feeling, and they like to use violence to solve problems.

As for Ba Zong’s internal skills, they tend to be fire-oriented, and their internal force is extremely hard and yang.

According to the concept of “Five Elements Training Organs Method”, this is the internal energy of fire, which strengthens the fire in the heart and then acts on the body, making the body stronger.

With this as the core, we can shape the body of a overlord. What we want is to be like an overlord in the world, dominating the world.

After learning this skill, the first thing Chu Zhou thought of was his “Lung Gold Sword Qi”.

The Five Elements Method for Training Internal Organs is actually the best method for training internal organs. Using the five elements to replenish the internal organs can allow one’s internal organs to reach extraordinary strength.

But this is the foundation. With this as the basis, there are actually many directions for development.

For example, Chu Zhou chose the lungs, using lung qi to nourish gold qi, thereby achieving lung gold sword qi.

If Chu Zhou used Ba Zong’s “Heart of the Overlord” as a reference, he would immediately have the idea of ​​creating a heart fire method. As long as he filled in the details, he could obtain a rare heart fire secret method.

In fact, the reason why Ba Zong’s skills are consistent with Xuan Zhen Guan’s secret martial arts is because of this connection, and there are many overlaps between the two sides.

Naturally, when the Tyrant Body and the Tyrant’s true body are combined into one, the power unleashed is beyond imagination.

This is the fundamental reason why Overlord Xiong Kuohai can fight two enemies alone.

Of course, the reason why Xiong Kuohai took out the martial arts method was not to share it, but to ask Chu Zhou to help him optimize and improve it.

Chu Zhou was not stingy and helped to make some changes, especially the internal strength part, adding some content about breathing and receiving spiritual inspiration from heaven and earth.

However, he was reluctant to give up the Qigong method, but the Qigong method was still possible.

Although there is no part of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to replenish the essence, energy and spirit, it will limit its height and there is also a limit on the age of practice.

But when compared to internal strength, it is already far superior!
As for the other corners and optimizations and improvements of the flaws, there is no need to say more. Just this one new technique is no longer a simple martial arts.

But they are fellow practitioners of immortal martial arts!

This was the third day of the martial arts discussion, and before they knew it, it was already evening.

The sky was filled with bright red clouds, and the mountain tops were all glowing red. Under the big willow tree, Chu Zhou and Xiong Kuohai sat on the bamboo chairs again.

Neither of them spoke, just looking at the brilliant sunset, enchanted by it.

After a long while, Xiong Kuohai spoke: “It’s hard to imagine that you are so frank?” Chu Zhou said: “I said that for some reason, I need to spread my military power throughout the world.”

“Spreading martial arts to the world?!”

At this moment, Xiong Kuohai’s voice was full of seriousness, and he said, “I have to admit that your ‘honesty’ has shaken me and made me unable to kill him.

But, have you ever considered the relationship between Ba Zong and Xuan Zhen Guan?”

He paused for a moment, and before Chu Zhou could speak, he immediately said, “As a warrior, I really want to let you go.

I even have a feeling that if I stop this time, it will be very difficult for me to kill you in the future.

However, as the leader of Ba Sect and the contemporary Overlord, I truly felt the threat from Xuanzhen Temple. It was just like the huge threat from challengers from other sects that I had encountered over countless years.

Therefore, I need you to give me a reason not to destroy your sect!”

Chu Zhou paused for a moment, his eyes solemn for a moment, and after a moment of silence, he said: “My Xuanzhen Temple will not conflict with Ba Zong. We pursue different things. This may be the reason for our peace.”

“What’s the difference? Why is it different? Tianquan County has become your Xuanzhen Temple. You have even done many things that the Tyrant Sect cannot do!

For example, make all the martial arts sects obey you.”

“It’s not me who makes them obey, but the Beggars Army and the current situation. But what I can guarantee is that outside of Tianquan County, my Xuanzhen Temple will not occupy an inch of land.”

“Hehehe…”

Xiong Kuohai laughed, his laughter full of sarcasm: “How can you guarantee that? I have never seen any martial arts sect develop to a certain stage without seeking more and larger territories!

This is not something that any one person can control, but comes from the thirst for resources!”

At this point, he summed up the essence of this world in one sentence: “Warriors need to be supported by mortals.”

“I admit this. This is the reason why your martial arts sects are constantly fighting!”

Chu Zhou did not deny it, but asked in return: “But the question is, when did I say that my Xuanzhen Temple is a martial arts sect?”

“What do you mean?”

“You can regard my Xuanzhen as a sect of esoteric arts. Martial arts are just for self-protection. We don’t seek to be the king of the martial arts world.”

“Hahaha!”

Xiong Kuohai laughed, with a hint of disapproval: “You actually crave immortality?

So, you and Yan Wangdi have a lot in common!”

Chu Zhou smiled and asked, “Then why do you think Mr. Erhu insisted on holding on to my Xuanzhen Temple? And why did he offer such a high reward?

And why did I kill him? And…”

At this point, he tilted his head slightly and looked at Xiong Kuohai with a somewhat strange smile: “And the most important point, what I just discussed with you, you don’t think it’s just about martial arts, right?”

“what do you mean……”

Xiong Kuohai couldn’t help but sit up. He looked at Chu Zhou, their eyes met, as if he understood something.

But after a long time, he still refuted unwillingly: “Even if you have obtained the true ancient immortal inheritance, I still don’t believe that you don’t need resources for your practice?”

To obtain resources, one must have a controlled territory and a large amount of wealth…

This is why Xiong Kuohai didn’t believe it, but Chu Zhou said softly: “Of course we need resources, even more.

But the problem is that these supplies are no longer something that mortals can provide!”

Chu Zhou’s eyes were calm, and the air was silent for a moment. He spoke again: “Okay, I have given you all the explanations I should give. Believe it or not!
Or, just tell me what you want.”

Xiong Kuohai asked back: “Can you tell that I want something?”

Chu Zhou said directly: “I can see your struggle!”

“That’s true. So, if Tyrant Sect launches a war against the outside world, I need your Xuanzhen Temple to help!”

“No no no!”

“You dare to refuse?”

“What I mean is, forget about those disciples from Xuanzhen Temple. It’s useless even if they go there. Your Ba Zong doesn’t lack this little fighting power.

So, if you, Xiong Kuohai, need me, I will help you!”

Xiong Kuohai narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and said, “Take your four junior brothers with you.”

Chu Zhou also thought about it and said, “If there really comes such a day, then yes!”

“In this case, don’t forget your promise. Don’t ask for anything outside of Tianquan County.”

“Normal purchases and transactions don’t count, right?”

“This doesn’t count!”

“In that case, it’s settled.”

Chu Zhou stretched out his hand again, and Xiong Kuohai did not hesitate. He clapped his hands three times, and the oath was made clear!

At this time, Overlord Xiong Kuohai had already stood up. He took a few steps forward, as if preparing to leave.

However, just as he was about to take off, he thought of something and turned his head slightly. He said, “Yes, I forgot to thank you. Thank you for not standing idly by, and thank you for helping us seal the drought demon!”

“You know it all?”

“I wasn’t sure before I came here, but after I came here, I was sure.”

Having said this, Xiong Kuohai asked again: “During this period, you seem to be very distressed. Are you worried about the endless number of visitors after Xuanzhen Temple’s secret martial arts became famous all over the world?”

“That’s right!”

Chu Zhou laughed bitterly: “It really gives me a splitting headache!”

“I don’t like to owe favors to others, so, I’ll give you a suggestion. Since you don’t mind the spread of Xuanzhen Temple’s secret martial arts, why don’t you perform martial arts and give lectures again?”

“It’s not like I haven’t thought about this method, but the problem is that in Tianquan County, people in Xuanzhen Temple believe what we say.

Outside of Tianquan County, even if I think I am honest, how many people will believe me? “

“What you said makes sense, so I will let Tyrant Sect help you spread the message to the world, and I will also guarantee you. I just hope that you can do what you say!”

At this moment, Chu Zhou’s eyes lit up, and he couldn’t help but stand up straight and asked, “Are you telling the truth?”

“It’s just like returning a favor!”

　The first update is here…
