Chen Ziyang's closed qigong operation is becoming more and more handy, and the progress of closed qigong is also advancing by leaps and bounds, and all thanks to Yang Lei.

Lao Lu told Chen Ziyang before that Qigong is divided into three stages. The first stage is the traditional apnea-holding, and the apnea holding time must reach 10 minutes before the first level of training is completed.

Calm yourself down by running the mind method of closing qigong. This static body should not move, the mind should be quiet, and at the same time, it should regulate its body functions and let its body enter a state similar to that of animal hibernation.

The second stage is to hold his breath for about eight minutes while walking normally or doing movements, which is Lao Lu's request to Chen Ziyang, after all, he let Chen Ziyang enter a very deep cave, and the cave is likely to be flooded, and he needs to go downstream by grasping the side wall of the cave with his own hands.

If the Qigong only reaches the first layer, then when exercising, the time to hold his breath will be greatly shortened, and it is very likely that he will not be able to reach the bottom of the cave at all, so Lao Lu told Chen Ziyang that he does not need to be anxious, and only after practicing the second level of Qigong can he complete what he wants from him.

The third stage of Qigong is to hold your breath for up to five minutes while doing strenuous exercise. It is too difficult to get to this level, and this requires a very high talent on the part of the person who practices closed qigong, and it also has to go through many years of hard practice.

Lao Lu thinks that he has a lot of talent in closed qigong, otherwise he would not have been selected as the successor of Tufuzi, but even so, he still practiced hard for more than ten years to reach this level.

Ordinary people can hold their breath for more than two minutes, some athletes can hold it for about three minutes, and some talented people can hold it for five minutes with the hard work of the day after tomorrow, which is already the limit of ordinary people.

The standard for the first level of Qigong is to hold his breath for more than ten minutes when he is motionless, Chen Ziyang has practiced hard for a long time, but his Qigong progress is very slow, when he lies there motionless, the most time he holds his breath is only four and a half minutes, this time it has made Chen Ziyang ecstatic, but then he can't reach this level when he is practicing, and he will hold it for about four minutes at most.

However, when he was in the sheepfold of the Nice family, Chen Ziyang was attacked by Yang Lei, Yang Lei choked his neck, almost let him die of suffocation, it was at that moment, under the desire to survive, under the pressure given to him by Yang Lei at that time, Chen Ziyang suddenly came to his senses. So at that time, he started the mental method of closing qigong, and persisted until Umbrella Shishuai rescued him under Yang Lei's hands.

After breaking through the bottleneck of the first layer of Qigong, Chen Ziyang is very simple to practice again, with each practice, he holds his breath for longer and longer, and the time of holding his breath is at least not less than eight minutes each time, and several times even holding it for about eleven minutes, Chen Ziyang's first layer of Qigong is also practiced.

The second level of Qigong requires holding your breath at any time within the normal range of physical activity, so that your body can get used to daily activities under the condition of lack of oxygen. So Chen Ziyang had to wander outside for a few hours every day, and while he walked, he was running the mental method of closing qigong, so that his body was accustomed to running closed qigong in a state of exercise.

So the residents of Dahetao Town can often see Chen Ziyang squatting on the side of the road every time he walks for a while, his face is red, and the bloodshot in his eyes is suffocated.

So the residents of Big Walnut Town spread a small news among each other, saying that Chen Ziyang, a young child, actually had a very serious asthma, no wonder he is still not married.

Some people said that he had tuberculosis, otherwise he would not have been so poor. Originally, this town was very small, and the residents knew each other, coupled with the unfounded false rumors, it didn't take long for Chen Ziyang to get seriously ill and die in the mouths of the townspeople.

After practicing for more than ten days in a row, Chen Ziyang has basically found the trick of practicing the second layer of closed qigong, although he doesn't think he has the talent in this area, but according to Lao Lu, if he wants to practice to his current level, he has to practice for two or three years.

Recalling Lao Lu's words, Chen Ziyang smiled and shook his head, if Lao Lu was still alive now, he would definitely tell Lao Lu about Yang Lei almost strangling himself, and let him improve the cultivation method of closed qigong, which would greatly shorten the cultivation time of closed qigong.

While practicing Qigong every day, Chen Ziyang is still thinking about the next thing. Since he thought of a countermeasure, Chen Ziyang still focused his preparations on the tomb, and he had to go to the tomb to have a look before he could judge whether his previous guess was correct.

But because many years have passed, I don't know what the situation is in that tomb now. So it's too early to buy gear. But Chen Ziyang had a plan in his heart, he was going to cultivate a magic weapon, a natal magic weapon.

From the first time Chen Ziyang entered the shallow water fish dragon tomb until now, he has never had a magic weapon to take advantage of. At first, he used the copper coin sword left by this old way. Later, Wang Lele found him a peachwood sword made of hundred-year-old lightning strike wood. Then there was the hundred slashing sword that Liu Cong gave him, but unfortunately, the three very good magic weapons were all destroyed in Chen Ziyang's hands.

The copper coin sword left by the old Taoist master was shattered in the tomb of the fish and dragon in shallow water, and those little five emperor coins were scattered all over the place, and they were not recovered. Wang Lele's hundred-year-old thunderbolt wood's peachwood sword was also broken, and Liu Cong's hundred-slashing sword was sucked away by the Absolute Yin Land. The three supreme treasures were destroyed, and the reason for all this was because none of these three things were Chen Ziyang's natal magic weapons.

Every Taoist master who has attainments in Maoshan will have a piece of his own natal weapon, usually speaking, these natal weapons are some antiquities, and they are some of the more powerful magic weapons that have been handed down in the early years. After the Maoshan Taoist Master passed his own Taoist blood sacrifice, he could use it as his own natal weapon.

The reason why antiquities are chosen as natal weapons is because these magic weapons have gone through countless years, and in these years, there is constantly yang energy and the user's mana to nourish these magic weapons, so such magic weapons are more powerful and reliable as natal magic weapons.

Although it is also possible to use the newly made magic weapon to cultivate the life magic weapon, whether it is in terms of power or the effect after use, it cannot be compared with those magic weapons that have been honed in the endless years, at least the yang energy contained in the magic weapon itself will be much less.

Natal artifacts have several advantages, the first of which is that these artifacts are not easily damaged, and they are easy to manipulate, making them more handy to use. Although these natal artifacts are not as exaggerated as the ones in the fantasy, they are related to the user's life, and whenever the artifact is destroyed, the owner of the natal artifact will be seriously injured.

But the natal weapon is also connected with the cultivator of the magic weapon, although the two people can't sense each other, but when the natal weapon is used, because of the blessing of the user's mana, the power of these magic weapons will be greater, and the solidity will be stronger, even if the magic weapon is hit hard, it will not make the owner of the magic weapon spit blood.

According to Chen Ziyang's guess, Jin Huang's wine jar, Fangzheng's soul-locking umbrella, and the golden dagger like a boomerang in Liu Cong's hand were all natal weapons of the three of them.

That's why these things have that power in their hands. However, Fangzheng's soul-locking umbrella was severely damaged when he was in the Netherland, and he didn't know if his umbrella would be able to be used in the future.

When he was in the Absolute Yin Land, Chen Ziyang was the first time to see other Maoshan Taoist masters who were more deeply involved in the Tao using magic weapons, and the scene of Liu Cong and the three people using magic weapons lingered in his mind, in addition to envy, Chen Ziyang felt that if he was alone to fulfill Lao Lu's last wish, it was very necessary to have such a magic weapon. That's why he came up with the idea of wanting to sacrifice the natal weapon.

Speaking of which, the three swords that Chen Ziyang broke and destroyed before could all be used as his natal weapons, and they all met the conditions for becoming natal weapons. But because the copper coin sword used to be his master's natal weapon, Chen Ziyang felt that this copper coin sword should be full of power. He ignored one point, that is, other people's natal magic weapons were useless in other people's hands, so a corpse demon that was two or three hundred years old could destroy the copper coin sword.

At that time, Chen Ziyang's evaluation of himself was that he was not good at learning, if he could have understood the natal weapon earlier, the copper coin sword would not have ended up like that. Regret is regret, but the copper coin sword can never be recovered.

And Wang Lele's peach wood sword that struck Chen Ziyang was handed over to him after he arrived in the Eastern Dynasty, Chen Ziyang didn't have time to sacrifice at all, although it didn't take much time to refine the natal weapon, but it would take at least half a month, so the peachwood sword of the hundred-year-old lightning struck wood was very wronged in the Eastern Dynasty.

As for Liu Cong's hundred swords for Chen Ziyang, Chen Ziyang's idea at that time was to borrow, and it was impossible for him to take other people's things for himself, so there was no sacrifice at that time. But I didn't expect that the sword was so powerful, and it had such a strong killing effect on the souls of the wronged, and it was actually carried by the unjust soul of the black general and fell into the desperate place together.

Chen Ziyang's character is like this, if he doesn't do anything, if he does, he will definitely do his best to do it, all aspects must be considered, and every aspect must be perfect, he made up his mind to go to Shaanxi alone, so he felt that he had to get a natal weapon.

Now the question is what to use as his natal magic weapon, Chen Ziyang thought about it for a long time, he felt that these magic weapons in his hand could not meet the conditions for being a natal magic weapon at all, so he decided to go to Lao Dao's house to find out if his master still had anything left.

After walking into the small courtyard of the master's house again, Chen Ziyang felt a lot, now this small courtyard is already a thing or a person, because it has not been taken care of for a long time, and the already old small rooms seem even more dilapidated. Forcibly suppressed the sourness in his heart, Chen Ziyang walked into the west house of the master's house.

When Lao Dao put all his Taoist utensils into a large box, saying that he could not hand them over to Chen Ziyang until he was thirty years old, and later when Chen Ziyang went to the shallow water fish dragon tomb for the first time, he took some of the things he was used to from this box, including the gossip mirror and the copper coin sword.

But later, the copper coin sword was gone, and the other magic weapons were also thrown in the Bohai Palace. Now looking at the half-empty box, Chen Ziyang felt that he was really a loser, and all such good things were lost by himself.

After rummaging through the boxes and cabinets for a long time, the glimmer of hope in Chen Ziyang's heart was disappointed, and among the remaining things left by Lao Dao, there was no magic weapon that met his requirements, except for making his hands and face full of dust, Chen Ziyang found nothing.

Looking at the dilapidated hut, Chen Ziyang decided to clean up this place, although this small house is no longer inhabited, but after all, this is the place where he spent his childhood, and it is also a place for him to learn art, Chen Ziyang has a different kind of emotion for this small house.

Just do it. So in the next few days, Chen Ziyang came here early every day to start cleaning. Because there was too much dust in the hut, he had to hold his breath while cleaning, so he naturally started his closed qigong. In this way, it can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone, not only to clean the house, but also not to delay the practice.

On this day, Chen Ziyang, who had just cleaned and renovated the house inside and out, was lying on the kang of the hut. These days, because of the practice of closed qigong, Chen Ziyang always feels that the muscles in his body are sore, and he easily loses strength.

He knew that this was the reason for his excessive practice, and now the disadvantages of excessive practice these days have been reflected, so Chen Ziyang decided to sleep well here today. The same is true for the remaining days, you can't continue to practice like this, only practice for four hours a day at most, otherwise your body will collapse before you can go.

Chen Ziyang, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by the ringtone of his mobile phone. The caller was Chen Ziyang's mother, who told Chen Ziyang that a courier had been delivered to the store downstairs of his house, and she had already helped Chen Ziyang take it home, and asked him not to pick it up again when he went home.

This confused Chen Ziyang, although he had plans to buy equipment online, but he hadn't done it yet, who sent this courier to him? Haven't you bought anything lately? Chen Ziyang, who had a stomach full of questions, got up and walked home.
