"Have you developed your internal strength?"

Lin Xu used a flashlight to shine the internal skill "Qing Ming Jue" on the left wall, and took this as a guide to ask Li Feiyan.

"Internal strength?" Li Feiyan looked up at him when he heard this, and then followed the light of his flashlight to look at the "Qing Ming Jue" on the wall, shook his head and sighed: "No, how can internal strength be so easy to practice?"

After a pause, he said: "You must also know that internal force is divided into two types: internal training and external training. Internal practice is to directly cultivate internal strength and begin to refine and refine qi, also known as qi refining and qigong, but this requires a very high posture of the individual. Ordinary people rely on this kind of practice, and they may not be able to enter the door for more than ten years. And a person with such a posture may not be able to find one out of 10,000 people, which is very rare. It's a pity that my sister doesn't have such a natural posture. ”

"The method of external practice is to start practicing from the outside, and finally enter from the outside, enter the Dan with strength, and refine the Dantian to vent qi. But external practice is hard work, and it is not so easy. In the end, there are very few people who can practice to the level of strength, and truly achieve the strength to enter the Dan and practice the internal qi, one in a million. I don't have the posture of internal training, so naturally I also take the path of external training, but unfortunately, I also don't have the ability to enter the Dan now. ”

"In our Swallow Sect, there are only two people who are masters of cultivating internal qi. One is our head, Li San, the swallow of this generation, and the other is an elder of the previous generation. In today's rivers and lakes, there are not many masters who can train their internal qi. Most of those who practice martial arts still stay in the stage of practicing foreign skills. Some of them have not produced masters who have practiced internal qi for several generations, and they don't even believe that they can practice internal qi, and only regard the pile skill of practicing strength as internal strength. ”

Li Feiyan thought that Lin Xu was also practicing martial arts, so she took it for granted that what she said, Lin Xu also knew, so she used "You must know it". I didn't know that Lin Xu's martial arts practice was true, but because he didn't have a teacher, he didn't know that these basic and universal knowledge on the rivers and lakes were not known.

At this time, listening to Li Feiyan, I couldn't help but secretly say in my heart that I really asked the right question, which can be described as a great insight. And from Li Feiyan's words, he also confirmed that he really belongs to a martial arts wizard with a very high posture, and he can use the internal practice method to directly cultivate internal skills, and he does not have to rely on the external kung fu to practice from the outside to the inside. And Li Feiyan's last sentence also proves that what Guo Jing said is wrong, and pile gong is not real internal strength. Pile Gong can only practice strength, not qi.

However, he was misunderstood by Li Feiyan, but Lin Xu didn't tell the difference, and didn't say that his current martial arts were all self-taught. Knowing the difficulty of getting started with the internal training method, after his posture is difficult to find, he felt that it was better to hide it a little bit, and not to look too shocking.

"Before you practice to the internal force realm, don't you expect to be able to practice this 'Qing Ming Jue'!" Li Feiyan finally looked at the "Qing Ming Jue" engraved on the wall, and sighed to Lin Xu and said.

"Internal Force Realm?" Lin Xu caught this word, and asked in his heart: "Is it the external force realm that has not been able to practice internal qi and is in the stage of practicing external strength?"

"Of course!" Li Feiyan looked at him with some surprise after affirming, "Didn't your master tell you this?"

"Nope. Lin Xu shook his head and said casually: "My master only taught me martial arts for a few years before he passed away, and he didn't have time to tell me this." Or maybe he didn't know, he didn't tell me about it anyway. ”

"Oh!" Li Feiyan nodded, and then said with a smile: "Since your master didn't tell you, then my sister will introduce you to the division of our martial arts realm!"

"From low to high, the first is the external force realm, and the second is the internal force realm. It is said that in ancient times, there were quite a few people who could directly cultivate the posture of internal strength. At that time, the division between the two realms was not obvious. Because the real strength gap between a person who has practiced internal strength for the first time and a person who has practiced external skills for several years is not too big. Even sometimes the internal strength is insufficient, and it is not as strong and explosive as the master who practices external skills. ”

"But in this era, for some reason, there are fewer and fewer people who can directly cultivate internal strength. Most of the people who can practice internal qi basically rely on the introduction of external skills to practice from the outside to the inside. These people can rely on the pure external skills to practice the internal qi, and they are already the top masters of the outer martial arts, and once they have the internal qi, their strength will increase greatly. Therefore, now the division between these two realms is becoming more and more obvious. The self of the internal force realm is generally higher than that of the external force realm, and it is discharged from the higher and lower levels. ”

"After the internal force realm, there is also the true qi realm after opening up the second vein of Ren Du, and after the true qi realm, there is also the legendary innate realm. But in this era, the masters of the True Qi Realm are already very rare, and they are all about to become legends, and not many people have seen them, let alone the masters of the Innate Realm who are legends. This realm, even in ancient times when martial arts were prosperous in the past, belonged to the legendary realm, and not many people could reach it. ”

"External force, internal force, true qi, and innate, these are the four realms of martial arts!" After Lin Xu listened, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It was only now that he had a more comprehensive and far-reaching understanding of martial arts, and knew the difference between high and low realms.

In novels, internal force, internal qi, and true qi are often confused, thinking that they all refer to the same kind of power, but they are called differently, and each person likes to use which. But after listening to Li Feiyan's words, Lin Xu knew that in the real world of martial arts, internal force was not the same as true qi. True Qi is an existence of a higher realm than internal force, and it needs to be opened up to the second pulse of Ren Du in order to be promoted.

Since the True Qi Realm is the first to open up Ren Du, then it should be followed by opening up the remaining Eight Veins of the Qi Sutra. And the internal force realm is to open up the twelve canons. The amount of refining meridians that are opened up also determines the division of the level and depth of power within the same realm. In this way, the internal force realm can be subdivided into twelve levels, and the true qi realm can be divided into eight levels. And after asking Li Feiyan, there is indeed such a subdivision.

"Although I have practiced internal force now, logically speaking, it should belong to the second stage of the internal force realm, but after all, my cultivation time is still too short, and the internal force is still very weak, I am afraid that it cannot be compared with some masters of the external force realm. For example, this Li Feiyan in front of her, if she had two daggers in her hands and shot with all her strength in her heyday, I might not be her opponent now. I just don't know, how many years has she, a master of the external force realm, practiced martial arts, and what level is she in today's martial arts?"

"I don't know what level you are at in the martial arts with your current martial arts?" After thinking about it, Lin Xu continued to ask this question.

Li Feiyan thought for a moment and said, "In the External Force Realm, I can be regarded as the middle and upper! However, our Yanzimen is known for its light skills, even against the top masters of the External Force Realm, I can come and go freely, and I can retreat with my whole body." ”

Speaking of the last sentence, a trace of pride flashed in his eyes.

Lin Xu nodded after hearing this, and had a clearer positioning for himself. She is not as good as her at present, she is considered to be in the upper middle, so she should be at the level of the lower middle now, and it seems that it is indeed the threshold for beginners to practice martial arts.
