The years when I explored the fairyland.

Chapter 69: 67: Situation, Practice

Chapter 69: 67: Situation, Practice
In the following days, Xuanzhen Temple lived in peace, and Baisha City also gradually stabilized.

In fact, because of the stability of Baisha City, many people who gathered outside Xuanzhen Temple dispersed.

They are all ordinary people with limited money. As long as they can live a decent life, they will continue to make a living like hardworking ants.

Of course, the fighting within Baisha City did not stop, and even tended to intensify.

After the man in the straw raincoat and the bamboo hat made his move, the two martial artists who had practiced marrow training did not make any moves for about two days, as if they were gathering their strength.

But the masters under their command did not stop at all, and even became more and more ruthless in their attacks, as if they were determined to fight to the death.

Two days later, Qiu Changfeng and the dwarf old man had another fierce battle. The sword flashes and eagle cries in broad daylight could be seen by people all over the city.

But this is not the end. In fact, they stopped fighting for two days to rest and wait for help to arrive.

The Yunya Sword Sect has gained a new elder who practices marrow training, and with the help of old sects such as the Iron Fist Society, the Pai Gang, and the Hezui Sect, its strength has increased dramatically.

Wenxiang Temple also gathered many heroes from the martial arts world, especially a reclusive martial artist who practiced martial arts, and persuaded many ghostwriters to join officially.

In fact, both sides were holding back their big moves, ready to win in one fell swoop, but the result was a head-on clash, a melee in which no one gained an advantage.

Fortunately, they did not want to provoke the government, but strictly abided by the agreement with the county lord and only fought within the designated area.

Whenever they crossed that “line”, the masters of Baisha City would come out to stop them and they would stop.

In terms of development trends, it was almost the same as what Wei Jinkui said, which made Chu Zhou feel more of a sense of crisis.

During this period, Chu Zhou naturally gained a lot. He just stored the money, medicinal materials and the like in the warehouse. His most important focus was on the martial arts secrets he gained.

After a series of battles, he had a deeper understanding of himself.

In terms of physical strength, even the masters of marrow training are not as strong as him, which is also the basis for his ability to move freely.

In terms of powerful strength, no one can compare to him. Even though his internal strength is not as varied, he is still not inferior to him.

But his methods were too poor, with one move, ‘Raging Dragon Overturning the River’, and one move, ‘Breaking Strength’, and the others were of no use.

Most of the time, they just hit and charge hard, with great force and overwhelming power.

This kind of method is certainly effective when facing people who are not as good as oneself, but when facing a real master, it will be a bit helpless.

Therefore, what he lacks most now are martial arts, killing moves, and powerful offensive and defensive means.

Similarly, the first thing he picked up was the book “Wind, Frost, Cloud and Snow Sword”.

To be honest, he has a good impression of swordsmanship. A sword master can take down people’s heads thousands of miles away with one strike of his sword. He has both coolness and killing power.

And this book “Wind, Frost, Cloud and Snow Sword” is the only top-grade martial arts in Chu Zhou’s hands, and it also involves the sword intent.

Unfortunately, after actually getting started, Chu Zhou discovered that it was not the case at all.

Swordsmanship is a complete system. He hasn’t even mastered the Crescent Moon Sword. It is simply a pipe dream for him to achieve something in the more advanced swordsmanship in a short period of time.

As a last resort, Chu Zhou could only throw the secret book aside and take out the “Luo Family Magic Collection”.

Frankly speaking, these tricks are quite interesting, and Chu Zhou doesn’t mind spending some time to study them in depth.

But it is of no use in the current situation. Even a few large-scale magic tricks have many restrictions and cannot form effective combat power.

So, he just flipped through the secret book.

However, he didn’t expect that the most lucrative harvest was inside.

It wasn’t the magic trick that had any effect, but the ‘Breath-Concealing Technique’ that was used in conjunction with the ‘Blindfolding’ trick to restrain one’s own aura and reduce one’s presence, that played a big role.

After further research, Chu Zhou discovered that the underlying logic of this “breath-holding technique” was to replace external breathing with internal breathing, and to replace the mouth and nose with skin and pores.

Modern science has long proven that in addition to the mouth and nose, people can also breathe through the skin and pores, taking in oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide, which also plays a role in metabolism and regulating body temperature.

But this ability is very weak and is completely insufficient to support the needs of strenuous physical exercise, let alone fighting.

The breath-holding technique is the in-depth development of this ability. It means closing your mouth and concentrating your breath anytime and anywhere, and breathing oxygen through the pores of your skin. This is the entry point.

After entering, because the breath from the mouth and nose is completely cut off, the whole person is like dead, and the sense of existence is naturally reduced to the lowest.

Only by practicing to a deep level can you ensure the breathing capacity of the skin pores. At that time, you can breathe freely even if you enter the water.

However, what Chu Zhou values ​​is not the ability of the pores to breathe, but the part involving the mutual generation of the five elements.

Since breathing through the pores takes in a small amount of oxygen, how to stay active for a longer period of time with a small amount of oxygen is the focus of the study of “breathing technique”.

This includes the part about the mutual generation of the five internal organs and the five elements, and it was this part that gave Chu Zhou inspiration.

As for Chu Zhou’s current “Five Elements Training Method for Internal Organs”, it has two main flaws. First, the five methods for training internal organs have to be practiced separately, which consumes a lot of time. Second, there is the problem of balance after the five internal organs are integrated into the spiritual mechanism.

The first one, there is still no way to solve it now, the second one is where Chu Zhou’s inspiration comes from.

Because, before, Chu Zhou always took the five internal organs out separately and practiced them from an individual perspective, but he forgot that the five internal organs correspond to the five elements, and the five elements are not isolated!
Wood gives birth to fire, fire gives birth to earth, earth gives birth to metal, metal gives birth to water, and water gives birth to wood. The five elements circulate endlessly, which is the great way.

Adhering to this concept, Chu Zhou made further improvements to the “Five Elements Training Organs Method” and produced a 2.0 version.

After adding the concept of the mutual generation of the Five Elements, there is no need to worry about the length of time it takes to absorb and exhale the spiritual energy. As long as you use special methods to balance the spiritual energy in the five internal organs after practicing, you can solve the second defect.

Although this did not reduce the time required for practice, the five methods of internal organ training still had to be practiced separately, but in terms of effect, it was greatly enhanced, and the speed of practice was increased by more than one level.

Chu Zhou could feel the rapid progress he had made in training his internal organs, and the amount of medicine he used to protect his internal organs tripled to meet the demand.

Well, the problem with martial arts was not solved, but the technique had made some progress, which was something Chu Zhou did not expect.

However, it doesn’t matter, because Mr. Zhao really gave a lot of secrets.

He originally promised five low-grade martial arts books and one mid-grade martial arts book, but the number he actually gave was definitely not this number. There were more than ten low-grade martial arts books and three mid-grade ones.

Obviously, this was a gesture of goodwill, especially since the second daughter of the Zhao family lived in Xuanzhen Temple.

Although these secret books are not of high levels, Chu Zhou really found some good stuff.

“Chansi Jin” is a low-grade martial art that can transform strength into entangled silk, which is lingering and lingering, and it is all about sticking and clinging. Once you are entangled, it is really not easy to get out.

“Spiral Drill”, a low-level martial art, uses the palm to transform into a fist, with the protruding joint of the index finger acting as a drill;

The spiral drill is a training method for creating a spiral force. When it hits a person, it can drill directly into the body and distort the internal organs, with incredible killing power.

“Bone-penetrating Finger” is a low-grade martial art, a rare finger technique. It can be used to train a kind of bone-penetrating force. The tendons and bones exert force, and when one finger points, the force penetrates the body.

This martial art seems to have a similar effect to “Spiral Drill”, but in fact it is completely different.

At least, the “Spiral Drill” cannot achieve the effect of hitting the target from a distance, but the “Bone-Piercing Finger” can.

There is also “Dielang Zhan”, a mid-level martial art. It is a pure sword technique and is extremely difficult to practice. But after mastering it, it can make the power accumulate like waves, with astonishing power.

It is said that the highest level of swordsmanship can produce nine waves in one blow, with maximum power, and can even break an ordinary Bailian sword into pieces.

Therefore, this martial art is not only difficult to practice and master, but also requires a good sword to perform to its full potential.

“Soft Palm” is a low-level martial art. It is also not easy to practice. And unlike the general palm techniques with great lethality, it practices a soft force.

When it hits a person, it is not particularly violent, it can even be said to be gentle. However, no matter how well-tempered the muscles, bones, and flesh are, they can still block swords and knives, but they cannot stop the gentle force that is like a spring breeze and rain.

Often the person who is hit by the palm does not feel anything, but his internal organs are damaged, and he may die suddenly within a day or two. It is the most vicious thing.

Looking at the above, it is not difficult to see that these martial arts are not ordinary martial arts. Most of them focus on the training and use of internal strength.

In fact, when studying “Breaking Mountain Strike”, Chu Zhou had guessed that there must be a type of martial arts that studies strength and seeks to maximize its potential.

Beng Jin is one of them, and the above five martial arts are to practice entanglement force, drilling force, cannon force, penetration force and soft force.

This type of martial arts often has a low upper limit, and the reason is simple: strength, to put it bluntly, is the pure force of muscles, skin and bones.

Compared with the magic of internal force, it is naturally inferior, especially when one goes astray in the stage of body tempering, the upper limit of physical strength is limited, and there is no prospect for development.

Therefore, among the above-mentioned martial arts, even the most powerful “Dielang Zhan” is only rated as medium-grade, and the difficulty of practicing is there. If martial artists have the choice, they will not choose it.

But these problems are not a problem for Chu Zhou.

Because of his strong physique, because the circulation of the five internal organs has raised the upper limit of his body, and because of the continuous tempering of his body, Chu Zhou is destined to have an unimaginably strong body in the future.

The power possessed by this body is as huge as mountains and seas.

Based on this, the power that these martial arts that others look down upon can display in his hands is unimaginable.

Chu Zhou felt like he had found a treasure after getting these secret books. He lost interest in reading the other mid-level secret books and immediately began to study them.

With the powerful force of “Breaking Mountain Strike” as an example, Chu Zhou was able to learn these secrets with ease.

Every time I try, I have new insights. I feel that internal force may be magical, but it is not necessarily more powerful than this physical force.

It was during this period of study and practice that less than half a month passed quickly, and news finally came from the disciples who were sent to the county seat of Tianquan County.

However, what Chu Zhou did not expect was that the Yunya Sword Sect and Wenxiang Temple had not started fighting yet, but they had already heard enough gossip about Luo Gan and the second daughter of the Zhao family!
