Chapter IV. On Qi

Qi is born from all things and nourishes the spirit of all things.

And in the world under one person, all the extraordinary powers, the mysterious arts, are derived from the Qi, which is the source and foundation of the power of this world.

"I see..."Lu Zhi closed the Wudang Secret Qi Gong in his hand, and he already understood what the Qi of this world was.

Ever since he learned that he had come to this world, Lu Zhi had always been very curious in his heart, whether the Qi of this world was not the same concept as the true qi he cultivated, after all, they were all fourth-state energy that surpassed material energy.

Even if there is a difference, it shouldn't deviate too far, Lu Zhi thought so before.

It wasn't until he came to Wudang to recognize his relatives, and then he got the Wudang secret practice of Qi, and after careful study, he found that in general, true qi and qi do belong to the same kind of energy that transcends the mundane.

But in addition to the details, they are not the same, or the two are only similar in terms of foundation, and the subsequent paths have become different.

In other words, the origin of Qi must be above the ordinary true qi from the beginning, and unless the true qi is cultivated to an extremely high realm, it can be compared to the magic of Qi.

Cultivating true qi, starting first, only produces a sense of qi in the body, and then through various ways, gradually increases the stock of true qi in the body, and then breaks through the restrictions of the human body, opens up the two bridges of heaven and earth, advances to the innate level, and initially combines the body with heaven and earth, and can use the power of heaven and earth in the outside world to a certain extent.

And those who practice Qi, from the very beginning, are directly through various means, and even innately, they can absorb the spiritual energy of the outside world into the body and condense it into Qi.

Comparing the two, we can find that the starting point of practicing Qi is the innate from the beginning, and cultivating True Qi is to rely on one's own efforts, step by step, to reach such a point... And for those who cultivate true qi, how easy is it to break through to the innate realm?

Of course, it doesn't mean that a practitioner of Qi must be stronger than a person who cultivates True Qi, after all, although the starting point of practicing Qi is high, it does not mean that its lower limit can really be suddenly promoted to the level of innate martial arts.

This can only show that the upper limit and mystery of the way of practicing Qi are indeed higher than the way of true qi.

But if you think about it seriously, it's not surprising, after all, the intensity of the aura of the world under one person, and the relaxation of the rules of heaven and earth, are much higher than those of the ordinary martial arts world.

The starting point of the world is high, and the power system that develops from it will naturally rise correspondingly, and that's all, it does not mean that those who practice Qi must be stronger than those who practice true qi.

For example, Lu Zhi, the pure yang true qi in his body, after so many years of hard cultivation, has already reached an incredible realm, which has far exceeded the scope of true qi.

At the beginning, he was in the Kunlun Valley, retreating and cultivating penance, and smelted all the three great divine skills into the pure Yang Wuji Gong.

And with the improved Nine Transformations of the Eight Desolations and Six Combinations, after the nine times of scattered gong recultivation, the true qi in his body has even been detached from the formless and phaseless gas, and turned into a golden ocean like golden pill and jade liquid!

However, this practice of Qi is very helpful to Lu Zhi, after all, after he entered the Dao, he wanted to be brave and diligent, but he was already a little unable to see the way forward.

And the method of refining Qi in this world is just like encountering a pillow when he is sleepy, which just provides him with a lot of inspiration.

Refining and refining qi, refining qi and transforming gods, practicing gods and returning to emptiness, refining and combining voids, this is the most orthodox cultivation path of Taoism, and Lu Zhi has gone all the way to refine and refine qi and refine qi and transform gods, and is just entering the realm of practicing gods and returning to void.

And the practice of Qi in the world under one person can just make up for the missing part of the land plant.

He had never been able to figure out what kind of realm this ethereal spirit referred to by this return to the void, such as entering the realm of chaos, and how to cultivate.

After all, Lao Zhang passed on his Jiuding refining method at the beginning, and there was no cultivation method for practicing the gods and returning to the void, and it was not until he saw the secret practice of Wudang that Lu Zhi was thoroughly clicked, what is this 'void'.

To put it bluntly, it is the primordial spirit, and the more detailed point is the spiritual power and soul, as long as the two are also cultivated to the peak, you will be able to touch the legendary feather realm in this world.

................

Two years later.

A young Taoist priest, holding a tray in his hand, knocked on Lu Zhi's door and shouted, "Little Master, the disciple has brought you food." ”

With a squeak, the door opened, and Lu Zhi's voice came from the room: "Come in." ”

The young Taoist priest walked into the room, put the tray on the table, and looked curiously at Lu Zhi who was sitting on the bed.

He has only officially become a monk in Wudang not long ago, and his curiosity about Lu Zhi, a young master who may be about the same age as himself, but who is the eldest of his generation, is still quite curious.

And Lu Zhi also looked at the young Taoist priest with a strange expression, this person is so familiar...

"You're a disciple who just started recently, right? I haven't seen you before. Lu Zhi said loudly.

"Ahh The young Taoist priest also nodded, took a step back, and bowed to Lu Zhi, "Disciple Wang Ye, is a new disciple who just became a monk in Wudang a month ago, and he has met Master Xiaotai. ”

Sure enough, it's you... Lu Zhi said darkly.

From the first time he saw his listless and lazy appearance, as well as the pair of dark circles under his eyes, Lu Zhi had already guessed his identity, and when he asked, it was indeed one of the important characters in the original book, Wang Ye.

Seeing Wang Ye, Lu Zhi couldn't help but be a little interested in him, after all, when he saw this kid, he seemed to see himself who entered Wudang Mountain at the beginning of the year, and he couldn't even tie his head well, and there would always be a few strands of naughty hair scattered out, slightly sloppy.

"The king." Lu Zhi nodded, "Yes, it's a good seedling." ”

"Well, it just so happens that I (what kind of poor way does the same door call myself) has just comprehended a set of kung fu recently, so I will pick one as a meeting gift to Xiao Wang."

"Huh?" Wang also grew his mouth, and he couldn't figure out how long the brain circuit of his little master was, why did he suddenly want to teach me kung fu?

Lu Zhi just nodded at him, then got up and walked outside the house, and motioned for him to follow.

In the past two years since he arrived in Wudang, he has not done nothing, in addition to carefully studying the practice of Qi in this world, he has also taken the time to improve what he has learned, so that it can better fit the combat system of this world.

——— since two years ago, Lu Zhi, who had just figured out a little bit of the way to practice Qi, had a discussion with Yunlong, and then almost damaged the prestige of his little master, he had already thought of improving his martial arts.

The way of fighting in this world is undoubtedly much more bizarre and changeable than ordinary martial artist battles, and with the same martial arts methods as before, it is no longer possible to deal with everyone.

If it weren't for Lu Zhi's Taijiquan attainments, and if he also had a six-vein divine sword that became more powerful in this world, he might have made a fool of himself in that fight.

After struggling to finally defeat Yunlong's junior and keep the prestige of his little master, Lu Zhi realized that he was still taking it for granted, and the idea of going to Longhu Mountain to find that white-bearded old man to have a discussion instantly cooled down, at least not now.

Then, he meditated and retreated for two years, and finally succeeded in integrating the Wudang Qi practice into the Pure Yang Wuji Gong, and improved several martial arts he had learned.

For example, the Great Shift, which has now been improved by him, can be released from the body through the 'True Yuan' or Qi, forming an aura and shield, and pulling and shifting the enemy's attacks and actions within a certain range.

For example, the six-vein divine sword, the same is true, after fusing the method in the way of qi, not only the speed and lethality are greatly increased, but it can even use five fingers to stimulate and condense the qi blade at the same time, and use the palm to gather qi into a blade, or attach it to the Yuanhong sword, adding sharpness.

There is also a yang finger, Tianshan folding plum hand and other martial arts, Lu Zhi also deleted it, condensed several killing moves, and added them to the physical skills of hand-to-hand combat.

There is no way, there are too many methods for the aliens in this world, spells, spells, magic weapons, and even those who can summon ghosts, the martial arts that Lu Zhi learned before, when dealing with these people, the means will inevitably seem a little too monotonous and complicated.

After all, the battle in this world is about the instantaneous outbreak, and many times the winner can be decided in an instant, and it is rare to meet the kind of opponent who fights with you in close quarters and fights with one move.

No matter how subtle your moves are, when others see that they can't fight you in close proximity, they immediately retreat, and then give you five fireballs in a row with their backhand, what can you do?

Therefore, Lu Zhi could only simplify the complex as much as possible, get rid of most of the complicated moves, and then condense a few of the most exquisite killing moves.

As long as you and I are in close combat, or the moment I get close to you, I will directly kill you with a killing move, then there will be no problem.
