The cliffside building has a peaceful and quiet surrounding environment, and the furnishings in the house are leisurely and natural.

An old man and a young man sat on the balcony on the second floor, smelling the fragrance of tea on the table and listening to the waterfall flowing in the distance.

In such a state, the human heart involuntarily calms down.

When Meng Xiuyuan heard Lu Miaozi's words of "defeating Zhu Yuyan in thirty years", he only smiled slightly, but he was noncommittal.

"Sir, it seems that you are thinking long-term.

But what exactly is this plan, and can you elaborate on it?

Why do you think that within thirty years, I will be able to defeat Zhu Yuyan and Ning Daoqi? ”

Since Meng Xiuyuan was reincarnated, he has not been in contact with too many people in the rivers and lakes, and the old Mr. Lu Miaozi in front of him can be regarded as the only way for him to understand the martial arts of this world for the time being.

After getting along a few times, Meng Xiuyuan felt that he knew the old man better, and knew that although he was a little selfish, he had no bad intentions, so he was willing to listen to him say a few more words.

Regardless of whether he cooperates with him in the end or not, Meng Xiuyuan is unwilling to let go of such an opportunity to broaden his horizons.

Lu Miaozi is over seventy years old and has experienced the vicissitudes of his life, how can he not understand Meng Xiuyuan's thoughts.

However, he was arrogant and conceited by nature, but he didn't care, and immediately said:

"Little brother, do you know that after entering the innate realm, what is the most important point for martial artists to distinguish between their strengths and weaknesses?"

Meng Xiuyuan shook his head and said with a smile:

"Please teach me bluntly......

I still don't even understand what the so-called 'innate realm' is.

And where do you know, after entering the congenital. ”

Lu Miaozi nodded, as if she was very satisfied with Meng Xiuyuan's modest and teachable attitude:

"Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, and knowing is knowing.

Well, the little brother has such a kung fu at a young age, and he is still not complacent, and he is indeed a teachable talent......"

At this point, Lu Miaozi did not sell Guanzi again, and immediately explained to Meng Xiuyuan gently:

"The reason why martial arts cultivation is divided into innate and acquired is because there is indeed a great difference between these two realms.

In the day after tomorrow, the martial artist still competes to see whose true qi is stronger and whose martial arts skills are more sophisticated.

But after entering the innate realm, especially after entering the innate realm for a long enough time, there is only one key factor that determines the absolute strength of the martial artists......

That is a person's martial arts realm. ”

Meng Xiuyuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he finally said that he had finally said the key point, and immediately asked Lu Miaozi:

"Old man, what exactly do you mean by this martial arts realm?

Does it mean that the martial artist comprehends and integrates martial arts? ”

Speaking of this, Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help but think of the "martial arts artistic conception" achieved by his master Zhang Zhenren after he created Taijiquan and integrated his lifelong martial arts.

No, Lu Miaozi shook his head after hearing this, and explained to Meng Xiuyuan:

"It's one of them, but it's not complete, the martial arts realm I said is not only related to martial arts itself.

If I have to say it, it should refer more to a person's spiritual realm, the mental realm, and the depth of communication with this heaven and earth......"

Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this, he only felt that Lu Miaozi's words were quite mysterious, although he could understand it according to the text, he didn't have any personal experience.

"According to what the old gentleman said, the cultivation of martial arts in this world to the highest place relies on spirit and mind to hurt people?"

Meng Xiuyuan asked Lu Miaozi in confusion.

Lu Miaozi shook his head with a smile and said to Meng Xiuyuan:

"The little brother misunderstood, it's not so mysterious.

Peerless masters can indeed oppress the opponent with spirit and momentum, so that they can gain an advantage in the duel, and even surrender without a fight.

But if you want to destroy enemies with similar strength, you still have to rely on fists, feet, swords, and true qi moves after all......"

"Then why only mention this so-called 'martial arts realm', and not mention the true qi, physical body, and moves of the martial artist?"

Meng Xiuyuan still asked with concern.

These are his rare advantages, and if they don't work, it's not good news.

Lu Miaozi smiled when she heard this, as if she had already guessed that Meng Xiuyuan would ask such a question, and immediately explained to him:

"This is to mention the fundamental difference between innate martial artists and acquired martial artists.

In the acquired stage, those who practice martial arts refine and refine qi, refining and refining the five internal organs of the human body into true qi. Although the speed of this process varies depending on each person's qualifications, it is not too fast after all.

If you are only trapped in this step, then no matter how many years of painstaking qi refining, it will be difficult to compete with a real master after all.

After reaching the innate realm, the human body gradually began to communicate with heaven and earth, and the refined true qi, both in quality and quantity, naturally far exceeded the acquired realm.

At the same time, the human body eventually has a certain limit, and when the power grows to a certain extent, it almost reaches the top.

Therefore, as long as a person enters the innate realm, it can be as short as ten or eight years, or as long as twenty or thirty years, and the road of simple qi refining can be regarded as coming to an end, although there are differences between them, it is not too much.

At this time, the gap in the martial arts realm was revealed.

Because it has to be the improvement of the spiritual realm, the moves can be more powerful, and the true qi can be used more efficiently, and even after reaching an extremely high place, he can touch the realm of the unity of heaven and man, and use the power of heaven and earth to assist himself.

As for those so-called secret techniques of divine skills, in fact, every peerless master is not lacking, and this is also a part of their martial arts realm......"

Hearing Lu Miaozi say so many "dry goods" in one breath, Meng Xiuyuan suddenly felt in his heart, but he couldn't help but sigh secretly, the level of martial arts in this world was indeed much higher than what he had been exposed to in his previous two lives.

The so-called "innate true qi" is somewhat similar to Meng Xiuyuan's true qi that fused the aura of heaven and earth at this time.

But the rest of the sayings such as "the unity of heaven and man" and "using the power of heaven and earth" have not yet been exposed to him.

At this point, Meng Xiuyuan felt the pressure at the same time, but he was also very excited in his heart, only to feel that the road ahead suddenly became clear, and as far as the naked eye could see, there was a very vast martial arts world waiting for him to explore.

Lu Miaozi looked at Meng Xiuyuan in such a slight daze, she didn't know the hesitation in Meng Xiuyuan's heart, she only felt that it was because the child didn't know, and it was difficult to understand these profound things for a while.

And this is very close to the situation he envisioned, and he is very satisfied.

"Haha, little brother, you don't have to think so much at the moment.

Although the road ahead is long, you are so young, there will be a moment when you will be done.

Moreover, the reason why I say that I have faith will make you better than the demon woman Zhu Yuyan in thirty years.

It's because you're already better than all the martial artists in the world just from the basics......"

Lu Miaozi raised her hand and poured another cup of tea for Meng Xiuyuan, then stared at each other with her eyes, and said encouragingly.

"What the old gentleman is referring to should be my body, which is stronger than others......"

Meng Xiuyuan heard Lu Miaozi say this, and he could roughly guess what he meant.

"Yes, the little brother is really smart!"

Lu Miaozi nodded, her eyes full of determination:

"The strength of the little brother's physical body is probably unparalleled in ancient and modern times.

In terms of physical body alone, you are already not inferior to some beginner masters.

More importantly, the more solid your body and the broader your dantian meridians, the more true qi you can carry.

In the future, when you enter the innate and cultivate your true qi to the extreme, it will definitely be far from being comparable to ordinary people.

In this way, you have become an outlier in the world.

Even if your martial arts realm is not as good as others, when it really comes to making a move, you may not be able to win the battle......"

Hearing this, Meng Xiuyuan nodded slightly, and understood why Lu Miaozi had to say that he was going to make a deal with him five years ago.

Indeed, if the No. 1 master of the Central Plains like Ning Daoqi can't help Zhu Yuyan, then if Lu Miaozi wants to take revenge, his hope must be completely pinned on Meng Xiuyuan, an "outlier" who transcends common sense.

At this time, Lu Miaozi only felt that the foreshadowing was enough, so he struck while the iron was hot, and then said to Meng Xiuyuan:

"Little brother, you have such unique conditions, and you are already stronger than many people by nature.

It's just that if you want to become a peerless master in the future, or even the best in the world, you still need a lot of hard work.

After all, you haven't even set foot in the Innate Realm yet.

If the martial arts realm is too bad, then even with your bravery, you can't compete with those real masters.

And that's where I can help you......"

"Oh? Please elaborate on the old gentleman. Meng Xiuyuan responded very cooperatively.

Lu Miaozi smiled slightly, a little proud:

"Although I am addicted to miscellaneous studies and neglect martial arts, I cannot teach you personally.

But after all, the old man has been walking around the rivers and lakes for decades, and he still has a few friends.

Little brother, as long as you promise to avenge Zhu Yuyan's demon woman for me in the future, then I will do my best to help you.

Not to mention, when Shan Naning Dodge saw the old man, he also had to call Teacher Lu respectfully.

He never accepts apprentices, but if I open my mouth and let him guide you for a while, I think it's no problem......"

When the words fell, Lu Miaozi didn't speak again, and she didn't even look at Meng Xiuyuan, she just silently tasted the fragrant tea in her cup.

Obviously, in his heart, Meng Xiuyuan at this moment should have been excited when he heard the words "Ning Daoqi", and there was no reason to refuse, so he didn't need to persuade him to do anything.

It's a pity that unlike what this old man expected, while he waited, he couldn't hear Meng Xiuyuan's answer.

After a long time, Lu Miaozi also noticed that something was wrong, put down the teacup with a slight frown, and asked Meng Xiuyuan:

"What, little brother, do you have any concerns?"

No, Meng Xiuyuan immediately shook his head and simply refused:

"Thank you, sir, for your kindness.

It's just that all I'm asking for is the "Recipe for Longevity", so I don't need to trouble someone like Ning Daoqi to guide me......"

In fact, in terms of martial arts alone, Meng Xiuyuan really wanted to communicate and learn more with such a top master, but he vaguely remembered that the first person in the Central Plains martial arts seemed to be involved in a wide range of rivers and lakes and politics, and his reputation was not good.

Meng Xiuyuan was reluctant to admit his affection, so that he would also be trapped by human affection in the future.

In the past five years, Lu Miaozi has thought about today's conversation many times, but he never expected that Meng Xiuyuan would reject his sincere proposal:

"Little brother, I advise you to think again.

An opportunity like this is very rare.

Even if you are talented, you still need to be honed and coached......"

While speaking, Lu Miaozi couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart, only feeling that it was difficult to convince the stubborn young man in front of him with words alone, so he immediately put a hand on Meng Xiuyuan's shoulder, wanting to prove to him with facts:

"Well, little brother, I'll let you see for yourself.

What is the difference between the innate true qi and the acquired true qi you are refining at the moment?

Don't worry, I won't hurt you......"

Before the words fell, Lu Miaozi had already transported his innate true qi and sent it to Meng Xiuyuan.

Although he didn't want to hurt Meng Xiuyuan because of this, he also wanted Meng Xiuyuan to know that he was powerful, so although he was soft, he also had six or seven successes.

I didn't want to do it immediately, and the next moment, I only heard a "bang" sound, and this old Mr. Lu Miaozi was thrown out by a wave of air, spitting blood, and crossed an arc in the air, falling powerlessly into the bamboo forest downstairs like a piece of paper blown by the wind.

Seeing this, Meng Xiu hurriedly chased after him, and in a flash, he had already supported Lu Miaozi in mid-air.

"Old man, your innate true qi is really powerful!"

After the two of them landed and stood firm, Meng Xiuyuan was the first to say to Lu Miaozi very seriously

"You ......"

Lu Miaozi subconsciously looked at his trembling palm, and then looked up at Meng Xiuyuan, who had an indifferent face, and his face turned red for a while, and he couldn't speak.

Seeing this, Meng Xiuyuan also knew that what he said was a little ambiguous, so he hurriedly waved his hand and explained:

"Don't misunderstand, old gentleman, I'm not sarcastic, what I say is sincere.

There are indeed some peculiarities in your innate true qi, which I do not have in my true qi.

If it weren't for that, my True Qi would never have been stimulated to the point of automatically activating ......"

Lu Miaozi was stunned when he heard this, and after thinking about it, he only felt that what Meng Xiuyuan said was indeed true.

Just after contact, he found that the true qi in Meng Xiuyuan's body was as vast as a river, and in terms of power alone, it was indeed far above the ordinary naïve qi.

It's just vaguely, as if something is missing more than the innate true qi in his own body.

"Don't blame the old man, I'll take care of your ......"

Meng Xiuyuan only felt that he had touched the key to the so-called "innate realm", and immediately helped Lu Miaozi to sit down on the spot, put his palm on the old man's vest, and healed his injuries.

In this case, he also had a lot of contact with the innate true qi in Lu Miaozi's body to find out what he was missing.

When Lu Miaozi heard this, although he was a little embarrassed on his face, he couldn't refuse, so he could only nod silently, and closed his eyes as if he was reluctant to talk to Meng Xiuyuan.

Meng Xiu was happy in his heart when he saw this, but this old man was also quite interesting, and immediately stopped speaking to stimulate him, but silently lost his true qi, and used the healing method that had refined two lives to make Lu Miaozi's luck.

Under the wash of his vast true qi, Lu Miaozi's face improved significantly in a short period of time.

"Little brother, how did you practice your true qi......

Seeing this strange scene, Lu Miaozi hesitated in his heart for a long time, and finally ignored his identity and demeanor, and asked Meng Xiuyuan.

"Haha, just practice.

That's right, sir. I sense that there seems to be a special true qi in your meridians, which has been eroding your body, could it be that this is ......?"

Meng Xiuyuan snorted, seemingly intentionally and unintentionally diverting the topic.

When Lu Miaozi heard Meng Xiuyuan say this, his face immediately turned solemn, his brows furrowed, and he nodded and replied:

"That's right, this is Zhu Yuyan's demon woman's heavenly demon true qi.

For more than 20 years, these true qi have been lurking in my meridians, like appendages, which are difficult to get rid of, tormenting me every moment.

Therefore, I don't have a few years to live, and I hope that little brother you can grant me that last wish......"

Meng Xiuyuan heard this, and without waiting for him to finish, he immediately interrupted:

"Sir, I think the content of our transaction can be changed.

Let's not talk about Zhu Yuyan, just your injury, I may have a way to heal you. ”

"What?!"

Lu Miaozi was shocked when he heard this, but immediately shook his head and said to Meng Xiu:

"Little brother, it's not that I look down on you, it's just that I'm really hurt too deeply, and even Ning Daoqi can't help me heal......"

Meng Xiuyuan didn't explain, but said lightly:

"Let me try, it won't get worse than it is now.

But, as we said before, it's a deal......"

Lu Miaozi saw Meng Xiuyuan's confident attitude, and thought about all the miraculous things that had appeared in him before, and immediately felt a surge of hope in his heart for no reason. He hadn't felt such hope for more than 20 years.

"Little brother, if you can really heal my injury, then you are my great benefactor Lu Miaozi.

Don't say any deals, the old man will do his best, and he will definitely repay you well! ”

Meng Xiuyuan nodded when he heard this, and said no more, but he suddenly felt in his heart that such a scene had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.

The old man who is seriously injured wants to entrust the hatred, heal, gratitude, and teach martial arts......

There are many similarities, which can't help but remind Meng Xiuyuan of the senior brother Wuyazi in his previous life, and Li Qingluo, who died under his hands, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart for a while.

In the middle of the night, Meng Xiu suddenly said to Lu Miaozi:

"Old man, do you have a daughter, and have you taught her the truth of being a man?"

Lu Miaozi was quite dazed when he heard this, and thought about it for a long time, only thinking that Meng Xiuyuan was a young man Mu Shaoai and moved his spring heart, he couldn't help laughing, and sighed that he had finally found a normal place for the kid in front of him, and immediately replied:

"Don't hide it from the little brother, the old man does have a daughter.

But my father is not very qualified, so that he can't talk to her.

Brother Meng is talented, talented, and kind-hearted, and is indeed a rare good man in the world.

If you really want to, I can ask her mother and arrange for you two to have more contact......

Meng Xiuyuan was greatly embarrassed when he heard this, but he didn't expect Lu Miaozi to want to be crooked in this way, so he hurriedly waved his hand to explain.

No, at this moment, a handsome little girl just walked out of the bamboo forest path, and her eyes looked at the two people who were healing their wounds with vicious eyes.
