Volume 1 Chapter 71 Martial Arts Palace
Chapter Seventy-One: The Hall of Martial Arts
Zuo Lingfei was surprised by Ma Xie's cultivation speed, he asked Ma Xie about the exercises he practiced, and Ma Xie told him that he had taught the "Xuanyang Nine Lives Decision" by his previous master.
"'Xuanyang Nine Lives?' I haven't heard of it, but according to your description, this is not an evil sect exercise, but it is a bit similar to the Xuanyang Gate's 'Xuanyang Gong', I think your master must have his chances!" Zuo Lingfei said.
Then Ma Xie told Zuo Lingfei about his master's help to break his soul.
Hearing the news, Zuo Ling stood up violently and said, "Your master actually used this method to help you 'break your soul'?" and then sat down dejectedly and said, "Sure enough, ...... so"
Ma Xie didn't know why Zuo Lingfei's face had a sad expression, and he wanted Zuo Lingfei to ask if there was something wrong with breaking the soul like this.
"No, I just admire that your master made this choice. As far as I know, people who break their souls with this method are certain to die, which means that your master is dead, right?" Zuo Lingfei said.
"Yes. My master had already been seriously injured at that time, and he used his last strength to help me break through to the state of mind. Ma Xie replied.
Zuo Lingfei let out a long sigh and said, "That's really the case...... No wonder you practice so fast. And your master's teaching of your exercises is also the authentic Xuanmen, you ...... Don't waste it, don't let down your master's hard work for you. ”
Ma Xie nodded, he would never forget what Master Mu had done to him.
"The exercises of the Qi Refining Realm can be roughly divided into three types: the breathing method, the body refining method, and the combat method. Zuo Lingfei patiently explained to Ma Xie: "The breathing method is equivalent to the internal strength and heart method practiced by the martial artist, and it is the basic method of condensing the aura and using the aura.
The body refining method is a special method for refining the qi realm. The main thing is to modify your body with the breathing method. The physical body forged by different body refining methods has different characteristics, some people are good at speed, some people are good at strength, some people are tough in the body, and some people are resilient, these are all the merits of the body refining method.
And the combat method is how to exert one's maximum strength when fighting, for example, the combat method of our sword cultivation is basically to increase combat effectiveness, and some combat rules are more defensive. ”
According to Zuo Lingfei's instructions, Ma Xie knew that when he used aura to transform his body, he also had some special methods.
Cooperate with one's own breathing method to introduce the aura into the parts that need to be transformed, and then use the qi refining method to transform one's own body, then the practitioner's bones and muscles are as light and flexible as a flying swallow, which is the method that those practitioners who advocate speed will choose.
Ma Xie secretly marveled in his heart, it turned out that there was such a knowledge of using aura to transform the body, he had only used aura to transform muscles before, and did not deliberately guide his body to develop in a certain direction.
"Then I didn't practice the Body Refining Method when I was on the first layer, so haven't I yet forged my physical body into the most perfect state?" Ma Xie asked.
Zuo Lingfei shook his head: "It's the opposite. The body refining method itself is only a supplement, if you only use the breathing method to transform the body, it is also possible, and use the breathing method to transform the body little by little, so that the body is the most balanced in all aspects. It's just that this speed will be much slower, and the reason why you can cultivate in three days is only because your spiritual energy is much larger than that of ordinary monks. ”
However, as the cultivation increases, the speed of cultivation will not be as fast as the first level, and if you keep using the breathing method to practice, it will undoubtedly be a waste of time. Therefore, Zuo Lingfei suggested that Ma Xie should choose a suitable body refining method and forge his body according to his own characteristics.
It seems that I have to go to the "Wujing Pavilion", Ma Xie decided.
The Martial Arts Pavilion is the place where the Heavenly Martial Sect collects exercises, and all the disciples can choose the exercises they want to practice here. As a new disciple, Ma Xie has the right to choose a practice here, and if he wants to choose it later, he has to rely on the "points" of the task to redeem it.
Ma Xie already has a breathing method and a fighting method, and he only needs to choose another body refining method.
He walked to the door of the Wujing Pavilion, where there was no one to guard, Ma Xie searched for a circle and did not find the shadow of the elder or senior brother and sister, so he could only push open the door and walk in alone.
Inside the pavilion is a huge room, neatly arranged with more than a dozen columns of bookcases.
Ma Xie stepped forward and found that these bookcases were written from left to right, with "heaven", "earth", "xuan" and "yellow" written on the front.
Among them, there is only the leftmost column of the cabinet with "heaven" written on the front, and the cabinet with "yellow" written on it is on the far right, and there are as many as seven or eight.
Ma Xie heard Senior Brother mention it before he came, this is the grade of the Tianwu Sect's exercises. Among them, the exercises of the "Tian" word cabinet are the top, and the exercises of the "yellow" word cabinet are the most ordinary.
Any disciple who comes to the Martial Arts Pavilion for the first time has the right to choose any of these four cabinets, and after becoming a Heavenly Martial Army or Elder, he also enjoys the same rights.
Before selecting the exercises, they will go through a special "test", and the results of the test are also divided into four grades: "Heaven", "Earth", "Xuan", and "Yellow", and the person who is tested can only choose the exercises from the corresponding cabinet.
Under Ma Xie's questioning, the senior brothers kept silent about this so-called test, and just told Ma Xie that if he couldn't hold on, he would take out the token of Danyang Hall and input spiritual power from it.
But the hall is empty except for the cabinets, so where is the so-called "test"?
In desperation, Ma Xie decided to take a look at what these exercises were first. He walked straight towards the cabinet with the name "Heaven", in fact, every disciple who came here for the first time would make the same choice.
Ma Xie had just walked a few steps when he noticed something was wrong.
When he stepped through the door, the row of bookcases was only a few steps away from him, but now that he had taken a few steps, he found that they were still the same distance from him.
Could it be that he was dazzled? Ma Xie did not believe in evil and continued to walk towards the cabinet.
This time he stared straight ahead to see what was going on.
But something strange happened again, the cabinets didn't move at all, and I couldn't get there!
Ma Xie used his aura and wanted to rush over in one go, but the moment he used his aura, he felt a huge pressure!
"It seems that this is the test!" Ma Xie finally knew what the test of this Martial Arts Hall was like.
It turned out that in this martial arts hall, a formation had already been laid out. This is a kind of "trapped array" specially invited by the ancestor of the Tianwu Sect, the old man Tianwu.
The function of this formation is to trap the cultivator who enters the formation, and the practitioner can only stand still no matter which direction he goes, and when the practitioner uses the aura, the formation will release pressure on the practitioner on its own, and this pressure will gradually increase over time until it crushes the mind cultivator.
If you want to escape from this formation, you must have spiritual power that exceeds the limit of the formation, otherwise you can only be squeezed by the huge pressure all the time and turn into a lump of flesh.
Of course, the Heavenly Martial Sect would not use this method on their own disciples, they transformed this formation, and when these disciples couldn't hold on, they could input spiritual energy into their tokens, and the formation would naturally stop.
And the length of time that lasted in the formation, combined with the strength level of the disciple himself, determined the final assessment result of the disciple.
The moment the horse evil entered the Martial Arts Hall, the test had actually begun.
An old man was standing behind Ma Xie at the moment, holding a piece of jade engraved with runes in his hand, and looked at the disciple in front of him with full attention.
"Being so young, it actually stimulated the pressure of entering the second layer of the Qi Refining Realm, his cultivation speed is very fast, it depends on how long he can last. The old man thought silently.
The pressure that each person stimulates is equivalent to the realm they are in, and the pressure will gradually surpass the cultivators in the formation as time increases, thus forcing out the cultivator's most extreme potential.
This is what the Heavenly Martial Sect looks at, only the disciples with the most talent and will can obtain more excellent exercises. Therefore, even a cultivator who has just entered the Qi Refining Realm, as long as he constantly surpasses his limits, may be able to obtain the "Heaven" level exercises.
The old man looked at Ma Xie and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, I have reached the level of the word 'Xuan', and if I hold on for a while, I can get the exercises at the level of the word 'earth'." ”
