The seventh level of the realm opens the true qi.

The ninth level of the earth boundary opens the Yuan Qi and forms the Yuan Qi clone realm.

True Qi is the combination of the aura of the outside world and the characteristics of the body to form its own unique true qi, but the true qi is still the acquired qi.

Yuan Qi is the innate Qi, which is fundamentally different from the True Qi.

The source of qi is divided into innate and acquired, the innate essence of the kidney is the innate qi, and the essence of the water valley formed by the inhalation of air from the lungs and the movement of the spleen and stomach after birth is the acquired qi, and the acquired qi is constantly nourished into the true qi.

Yuan Qi is the most basic substance that maintains the life activities of the human body, and human beings depend on this Qi for their survival. Yuan Qi is the root of all kinds of qi, it continues to run the whole body with the meridians and plays a role in nourishing the whole body, it also has changes to produce blood, promote and fix blood, warm and nourish the tissues of the whole body, resist the invasion of external evils, promote the internal organs and tissues and other functional activities.

It can be seen that the vitality is the foundation of the body, but even though the vitality has many functions, within the realm, the qi is still just a simple tool after all, but the form of the tool has changed.

But once you enter the Heavenly Rank, even if it is the Heavenly Rank level, you will open a bridge between the Yuan Qi and the World - the art of control!

The earth-attribute vitality can control the earth-attribute substances outside the body, and the water-attribute vitality can control the same-attribute substances outside the body.

The art of control is the sign of the Heavenly Rank, and it is also the gap between the Heavenly Rank and the Earth Realm!

Within the boundaries of the earth, qi can pass through the body, and for heaven-level martial artists, qi can communicate with heaven and earth.

That's the gap.

In the middle of the night, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the door, and a figure rushed in quickly, kneeling on one knee in front of Xue Ziye: "Inspector, the major forces in Chaoyang County have investigated clearly. ”

Xue Ziye still condensed his vitality and didn't speak, and the man in black continued: "Chaoyang County is quite stable under the joint control of the Zhennan Hou Mansion and the County Shou Mansion. There have been no major incidents of unrest in five years. Yang Tiexiong, the Marquis of Zhennan, behaved as an official and was praised by people. The development of Chaoyang Martial Arts Institute has been stable, and the cohesion has not declined. Other large and small families also perform their own duties, and there is no rebellious heart. ”

After a pause, the man in black said: "It's just that there are some changes in the Chen and Liu mansions, but I have also investigated the origin of the Chen family." ”

Xue Ziye continued to sit cross-legged, and the big water balloon weighing more than ten tons was still flying in the air, while saying, "Say." ”

The black figure stood up and said, "In the past five years, the Chen family has not done anything out of the ordinary. But there is one big thing that cannot be left unmentioned. ”

Seeing Xue Ziye's eyes closed, the man in black said again: "Five years ago, Mei Bofeng, the envoy of the Ascending Dragon, accepted the benefits of the Chen and Liu families, and helped the Chen and Liu families to exterminate the original Xiao family, the first family in Chaoyang County. The pit killed 500 people in the Xiao family. ”

"Xiao family?" Xue Ziye suddenly opened his eyes: "When was the Xiao family born?"

The man in black said: "It was born fifteen years ago. Other families in Chaoyang County have the development of three generations of their ancestors to have today's prosperity. It is quite strange that the Xiao family has only been fifteen years old and has become the first family in Chaoyang County. ”

Xue Ziye frowned and said, "Who is the head of the Xiao family?"

"Xiao Zhan. ”

"Xiao Zhan? I haven't heard of this person. Xue Ziye was silent.

The man in black said: "Zhennanhou should know more, why don't I call him over and ask." ”

"Okay, let's go. Xue Ziye said: "In addition to selecting three places for our trip, the more important task is to monitor and understand the every move of the large and small forces in Chaoyang County. ”

"Yes. The man in black snorted coldly and disappeared directly.

A moment later, Yang Tiexiong, the Marquis of Zhennan, appeared in the post house compound: "See the ambassador." ”

Xue Ziye had already stopped cultivating, standing in the middle of the courtyard, with his back to Yang Tiexiong: "The Xiao family only began to give birth to a sect fifteen years ago, why was the Xiao family able to overwhelm the big and small forces in Chaoyang County and become the number one family in just fifteen years?"

Yang Tiexiong said: "Fifteen years ago, Xiao Zhan and several others came to Chaoyang County with his newborn baby and established the Xiao family's mansion. With Xiao Zhan's peerless cultivation, the reputation of the Xiao family soon began, and a large number of young people came to study and learn, and the disciples and protégés of the Xiao Mansion once surpassed the Chaoyang Martial Academy. All of this is thanks to Xiao Zhan's peerless cultivation. ”

"What realm has the peerless cultivation reached?" Xue Ziye snorted coldly, and his words were very disdainful.

Yang Tiexiong said: "It is rumored by outsiders that fifteen years ago was the limit of the Yuanqi Mirror. But according to my observations, when he first came to Chaoyang County fifteen years ago, he was already a Heavenly Rank. ”

"Heavenly Rank?" Xue Ziye said coldly: "Since it is a Heavenly Rank cultivator, how could the Mei Bofeng and Chen Liu families kill him, and how can they let the Xiao family perish?"

Yang Tiexiong was taken aback: "What does the ambassador mean...... Is there another secret to the demise of the Xiao family?"

Seeing that Xue Ziye didn't speak, Yang Tiexiong said again: "Maybe it was Mei Bofeng, the envoy of the Ascending Dragon, five years ago, who used any special means. ”

Xue Ziye said: "Impossible, Mei Bo Peak has not broken through the Heavenly Rank so far. Five years ago, he could never be the opponent of a Heavenly Rank Martial Artist. ”

Yang Tiexiong was suddenly dumbfounded and speechless.

Xue Ziye's eyes flashed: "The rise and fall of the Xiao family must have a hidden secret. Before the Xiao family perished, 500 people were killed, and there was no way to investigate the truth of the matter. It is said that Xiao Zhan brought his children with him when he came. Where's that kid?"

Yang Tiexiong said: "That child's name is Xiao Yu...... used to be a gentlemanly teenager, bullying men and women everywhere, and idle. But since a year ago, he suddenly changed as if he was a person, he became diligent and studious, and his cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, and he is unique in Chaoyang Martial Academy. It's a pity that half a year ago, he was besieged and killed by the masters of the Chen and Liu families, and finally the meridians and dantian were abolished by Chen Batian in Chihu Mountain. ”

"But ......," Yang Tiexiong suddenly said, "It seems that things are more than that. ”

Xue Ziye didn't speak, waiting for his words.

Yang Tiexiong raised his throat and said, "Six months ago, Xiao Yu was abolished by Chen Batian's meridian dantian and survived. Since then, he has disappeared, but in the following period of time, the elders of the Chen and Liu families died and suffered heavy losses. Everyone suspected that the remnants of the Xiao family did it. Just four months ago, the streets of the city were plastered with signs. The content of the notice is Xiao Yu's challenge book, and on the first day of September, he challenged Chen Batian and Liu Zhentian in Chaoyang Grand Square outside the gate of Chaoyang Martial Arts Academy. So...... Everyone didn't know what the situation was with Xiao Yu. ”

Xue Ziye was slightly surprised: "Isn't the day after tomorrow the first day of September?" Xiao Yu wants to challenge Chen Batian and Liu Zhentian...... Interestingly, although these two people have average cultivation potential, they are also martial artists in the late eighth level of the Earth Realm. Xiao Yu, a fifteen-year-old boy, can he do it?"

Yang Tiexiong said: "The truth of the matter will be known the day after tomorrow." ”

"The reason for the rise and fall of the Xiao family may be from Xiao Yu, a young man, and he is now the only clue. Okay, you pay close attention to the movements of the Xiao family, and report to me immediately if there is any situation. You can go down. Xue Ziye waved his hand, and Yang Tiexiong respectfully retreated.

Soon a man in black walked over: "Inspector, what do you command?"

Xue Ziye smiled playfully: "I want a copy of Xiao Yu's information, the more detailed the better, give it to me as soon as possible." ”

"Yes. The man in black quickly retreated.

Xue Ziye had a smile on her face: "Xiao Yu, fifteen years old, it is interesting to release a challenge book to the whole city to challenge Chen Batian and Liu Zhentian." ”

......

Chen's Mansion, Council Chamber.

"Brother Chen, you must leave this place to me. ”

"Brother Liu, it's not easy for my Chen family to get to where it is today, you have to give me this place. ”

The two continued to argue over the question of Chen Lin and Liu Sen's whereabouts, and they were at a stalemate.

Liu Zhentian said: "Brother Chen, tomorrow is the first day of the ninth month, and we must decide one person tonight." Otherwise, neither of them would have been able to enter the Shenglong Gate. Don't be angry just yet, can you listen to me?"

"Okay, you say. ”

Liu Zhentian said: "Chen Lin, he is not your biological son, is it worth it for you to work so hard for him?"

Chen Batian was furious: "What do you mean by this? Even if he is not my own son, he is also my own nephew, and he is a member of my Chen Mansion." I want to fight for a bright future for him, so that he can better contribute to our Chen Mansion in the future, why not?"

Liu Zhentian smiled slightly: "Do you think he can serve your Chen Mansion better?"

"Huh?"

"Chen Balin died in the Chen Mansion, presumably Chen Lin has always held a grudge against you, the lord of the mansion, for this matter. Now the reason why he obeys you in every way is because he wants you to send him to the Ascension Dragon Gate. Once he is prosperous, I am afraid that not only will he not be of use to you, but he may also do something unfavorable to you or even kill you to avenge his father. As soon as Liu Zhentian's words came out, Chen Batian was shocked.

Liu Zhentian shattered and said: "In the end, it's still my own flesh and blood." If Chen Lin was your biological son, I wouldn't fight with you like this, as long as you promised me enough benefits. I will never let Liu Sen and Chen Lin compete for this place. But things are different now. ”

Chen Batian's brows tightened, obviously saying something to his sore spot.

Liu Zhentian continued: "Why do you bother to raise tigers. Now Chen Lin's cultivation is not high, you can still control it, once he is sent to the Ascending Dragon Gate, it will be ...... Out of control. ”

While observing the changes in Chen Batian's face, Liu Zhentian put forward his conditions very appropriately: "As long as Brother Chen gives up Chen Lin, I am willing to hand over all the 30,000 elites of my Liu family to Brother Chen." ”

As soon as these words came out, Chen Batian was shocked again.

30,000 elite soldiers, this is the treasure of the Liu family's pressure box, it can be said that it is the foundation of the Liu family.

"I know that Brother Chen has long been unhappy with the county guard's mansion. With the help of the 30,000 soldiers of my Liu family, Brother Chen will definitely be able to besiege the county guard after the Shenglong envoy leaves, and finally replace him and become the county guard of Chaoyang County. This can be regarded as the fulfillment of one of Brother Chen's wishes. Liu Zhentian swore and said.

"Are you really willing to deliver the Liu family's 30,000 elite soldiers to me?"

"Yes. We are of the same mind. ”

"Okay, I promise you. The quota of Shenglongmen, I Chen Batian will not fight. Chen Batian shouted.
