Chapter 129: Cultivating External Skills, Unexpected Gains
When you practice hard skills, you often only need to be able to endure the pain, and at the same time have money to buy medicine, and you can basically still be successful in cultivation.
Even if you can't stand the pain and are forced to practice by someone, as long as the medicinal bath and ointment are combined, you may not be able to practice.
But if you practice hard skills internally, you really need extremely strong willpower to be able to cultivate.
In the midst of great pain, it is necessary to maintain relative sobriety to control the internal force and not let one's internal force get out of control, which is definitely not something that everyone can do.
In particular, this kind of pain is still increasing, training skin, meat, bones, and tendons······ At the beginning, the skin training may be fine, but when it comes to meat training, it will directly brush down 90% of the martial artists in the world.
The bone training in the future is even more terrifying, the pain into the bone will become a real adjective, and those who can stay awake under this kind of pain and control their internal force to cultivate, their willpower is definitely at the perverted level!
Of course, if you want to say that you can cultivate by reducing the output of internal force and reducing pain, that is indeed a method, but that cultivation effect······
You can become a second-rate martial artist in your lifetime, even if it is quite rare.
On the rivers and lakes, those who have achieved first-class masters through hard skills and external training, and from time to time you can still see one or two, and those who can achieve first-class masters through hard skills and internal training are currently famous on the rivers and lakes is just an evil King Kong Cao Boxing.
The difficulty of practicing hard skills inside can be seen from this.
This is one of the difficulties.
For martial artists who practice hard skills internally, there is another big problem - internal force.
That's right.
It's the internal force!
The biggest difference between internal martial arts practitioners and external martial arts practitioners is that internal martial artists must use internal force.
This characteristic that belongs exclusively to internal martial artists has precisely become the limit of its existence.
Internal martial artists need to use internal force to cultivate, so naturally the more internal force, the better the effect, but often those who practice hard skills are not good at internal strength······
If your internal strength talent is not good, it is naturally impossible to have more internal strength, and if you don't have much internal strength, the effect of hard skill cultivation will naturally not be good.
It's a dead knot.
Meanwhile.
There is another problem that causes the poor effect of hard gong cultivation, that is, the efficiency of the internal force to run the whole body.
Only by opening up the dantian, it can also operate the internal force to the whole body, but that efficiency······
If the twelve canons are highways, the internal force is compared to a car.
Then, after opening up the twelve canons, this 'car' will be able to pass through these twelve highways and travel all over the body at extremely fast speed and with very low loss.
If you don't get through the twelve, then this car is equivalent to running wild on completely undeveloped land, speed and wear and tear, you don't need to think about it.
If you want not to lag behind in this regard, internal martial artists must at least open one meridian in each of their limbs, so that the internal force can pass through all parts of the body quickly and with low loss.
Therefore, the second-rate internal martial artist you see on the rivers and lakes, he is often also a third-rate internal martial artist, such as the first-class internal martial artist like the evil King Kong Cao Fist, who is also a second-rate internal martial artist.
In the case that hard internal training relies so much on internal force, if he does not have enough internal force to support it, it is simply difficult to reach the level of a first-class internal martial artist.
After reading the difficulty of cultivating hard skills and internal practice, Xu Yi had only one thought in his heart.
"Seems to be, this internal hard skill is very suitable for me?"
Willpower?
You talk to someone who can practice the Sword Spectrum to ward off evil spirits?
Internal force?
He is a first-class martial artist who has broken through the ten serious points, is it difficult to practice first-class hard skills?
It's really not good, he can still take drugs!
Directly take the Ten Perfection Tonic Pill as a blue pill, isn't this internal force how much it takes?
The more Xu Yi thought about it, the more he felt in his heart.
"Practice, practice, see!"
Originally, he was not going to cultivate now, compared with the external function, compared with the internal strength, it was called another path of a martial artist, or even a more difficult path, and he felt that his cultivation for a day or two would basically not achieve any effect.
It's better to wait until you are free in the future and then go to cultivate it.
But when he finished reading "Bronze Statue Gong" and deeply perceived the difficulty of cultivating this external skill, he suddenly found that he seemed to be ······ How easy is it to practice?
"Turn on twenty-four times the normal state!"
"Cultivate the Bronze Statue Gong!"
The first weight of "Bronze Statue Gong" is to open up the dantian, Xu Yi's dantian has already been opened, so this weight will naturally be skipped and come directly to the second one.
The second to fifth levels are all skin training.
The cultivation process is also quite simple and straightforward, that is, using internal force to polish and refine the skin membrane of the whole body.
Each time you quench it, it is a weight, and if you complete it four times, it is equivalent to completing the cultivation of skin training.
The same is true for meat training, bone training, and so on in the future.
There are not so many complicated things in external cultivation, in simple terms, it is just one word, and the practice is over!
Of course, when you really want to cultivate, you must not be too reckless.
"The first realm of physical training is skin training."
"If you want to practice skin, especially internal hard skills, the first thing you have to do is to know the bearable strength of the skin!"
This is the most basic and fundamental thing.
Only by determining the bearable strength of your membrane can you use the corresponding internal force to temper and achieve the best cultivation effect.
Otherwise, if you go to cultivation indiscriminately, you will use less internal force and you will not be able to achieve good cultivation results, and if you use too much internal force······ You'd better pray that you don't use up your internal strength that much.
Generally speaking, the strength of the skin on each person's body is different, such as the foot skin, scalp, etc., the strength of these skin is relatively high, while the skin of other parts is relatively low.
Xu Yi quickly let his internal force circulate around his body, and soon obtained the strength of the membranes everywhere, and then turned it into various data and recorded it in the memory palace.
In the end, it was found that the difference in the strength of these skins was really quite obvious.
If the weakest skin is defined as 1, then the strongest skin is 4, which is a four-fold difference!
(PS: The thickness of human skin is 0.5-4.0 mm, a difference of eight times, and I personally think that this gap is a bit too big, so I slightly adjusted it, and you should think that skin thickness and skin strength are not the same concept.) )
"It's not a big problem."
Xu Yi thought to himself.
It doesn't matter if the skin strength in the early stage is too large, after one or two tempering, the gap between them will quickly narrow, and even by the fourth time, these gaps will be completely smoothed, and the skin strength of the whole body will tend to the same value.
This is mainly for internal force refining, the original strength of the human skin is too weak, and it is not enough to compare with the quenched skin.
"Let's start cultivating!"
Xu Yi began the formal cultivation process.
With nine years of internal strength, although he is still much worse than other first-class martial artists, compared to other internal martial artists, this internal strength is already quite good.
Usually, the cultivation of internal martial artists starts little by little, such as the refining of the skin, which is to choose a small section first - usually choose a little skin the size of a fingernail.
And so little by little to expand and expand.
Xu Yi did the same at the beginning, choosing a section of skin on the little finger of his left hand for cultivation.
"Well, it hurts a little!"
In a mysterious space.
Xu Yi gave his own conclusion through the perception in the sea of knowledge.
Then he understood that this kind of pain was not at all difficult for him, who was in a twenty-four times more ordinary state.
"Let's start expanding the range!"
One segment of the little thumb, enlarged to the entire little finger, then five fingers, then the entire palm.
This pain is superimposed, and at this point, ninety-nine percent of the martial artists have begun to be unbearable.
But for Xu Yi, who opened the twenty-four times normal state, this was still just a very easy thing.
"Keep expanding!"
The scope of skin refining was further expanded, and in a short time, the entire forearm was already included.
"Go on!"
An entire arm was wrapped in it.
"Keep going!"
With the exception of the head, half of the upper body was wrapped in it.
At this point, Xu Yi finally stopped.
It's not because he can't bear it anymore in this state, but because his internal strength is no longer enough - his nine internal strength can only temper so many skins at the same time.
"Okay!"
Xu Yi did not continue to insist on it.
That's how he began to carry out his first skin refinement.
Because he is very aware of the strength of his skin, his tempering can always achieve the best tempering effect.
Even because of the fact that the strength of his skin has improved during the refining process, he has a memory palace to record data, and he can quickly adjust it so that it can always reach the best tempering state.
In this state, Xu Yi's tempering effect is naturally not comparable to other martial artists, other martial artists usually need more than ten hours to complete the first tempering, and Xu Yi finally completed the first tempering in less than half an hour.
"The comprehensive film strength has increased from about 2.0 to 6.0, and the maximum film strength has reached 7.5."
Xu Yi nodded with satisfaction.
The effect of the first tempering still made him quite satisfied, although the current strength of the film is still relatively average, and even a knife is estimated to be unable to prevent it, but compared to the beginning, it has generally increased by three times.
"Even the strength has improved, without blessing the internal force, I can already hit dozens of kilograms of strength with a casual punch!"
Xu Yi was quite satisfied with all aspects of this refining effect.
"It's just that this internal force is consumed a little bit, in less than half an hour, my nine internal strength is basically consumed!"
However, this problem was not a big deal, and he directly swallowed five Ten Perfection Great Tonic Pills.
After a short rest, after replenishing part of the internal forces.
"Go on!"
This time he was refining the skin of the right half of his body.
Again, less than half an hour.
"Tempering complete!"
I have to say that for Xu Yi, this kind of simple and direct physical training is too easy.
Just turn on the twenty-four times normal state, you can suppress all the pain, plus the assistance of memory kung fu, adjust the tempering effect in time, it is simply the most perfect exercise!
Except for a little more internal force consumed, there is no problem at all.
What's more, Xu Yi even found some unexpected 'gains' this time.
"Painful memories!"
Knowing the sea.
Under the martial arts tree.
Xu Yi looked at the black painful memory in his hand, and his heart was slightly strange.
This black painful memory starlight was no less than the desire memory starlight he had obtained after cultivating the "Evil Warding Sword Spectrum" for an hour.
After Xu Yi absorbed it, he actually gained a year and a half of spiritual energy.
"That's a ······ Windfall! ”
He really didn't expect that an hour of practicing external skills by himself could actually bring him the harvest of spiritual energy, and it also brought so much spiritual energy.
At the same time, he can't bring so much spiritual energy from his cultivation of the "Hidden Evil Sword Spectrum" now.
"So, do I have opened up another method and path for myself to increase the energy of my heart?"
Xu Yi was a little speechless in his heart.
Not long ago, he was still worried about what he would do if he used the "Evil Warding Sword Spectrum" with high intensity, causing him to be unable to obtain spiritual energy in the future, but he didn't expect that this was only today, and he found a way to obtain spiritual energy that was no less than the "Evil Warding Sword Spectrum".
"However, there is still a difference between this method and the "Sword Spectrum of Evil War", and it is obvious that the sustainability of this method is far less than that of "Sword Spectrum of Evil War".
Why?
Because he couldn't cultivate the "Sword Book of Warding Off Evil Spirits".
But he can cultivate "Bronze Statue Gong".
If he can't cultivate the Sword Spectrum to Ward Off Evil Spirits, then he can continue to cultivate until his soul is completely adapted to these desires and will no longer produce the slightest fluctuation.
"Bronze Statue Gong" is different, it can be cultivated successfully.
Once his cultivation is successful, then it will no longer bring him the harvest of spiritual energy.
He can't deliberately fail to cultivate for the sake of these spiritual energies, right?
"There's no point in doing that."
Xu Yi shook his head.
Compared with a few more spiritual epiphanies, what he wants most now is a strong body.
"Let's continue cultivating!"
Swallow five Ten Perfection Tonic Pills again.
This time, the cultivation part is the lower limbs, well, all the lower limbs that you thought of.
Speaking of which, there is one thing that has to be mentioned.
Generally speaking, whether it is external or internal training, there is no such thing as a 'cover door'.
At least in the "Bronze Statue Gong" exercises obtained by Xu Yi, there is no such thing.
A large part of the reason why there is such a thing as a 'cover door' on the rivers and lakes is because they are afraid of pain!
Why do many people who practice hard skills have their key parts become their so-called cover doors?
Because they don't dare to cultivate that place!
Think about it, when people practice "Iron Cloth Shirt", they all let people use bamboo sticks or even iron rods to beat the parts of their whole body, how many men dare to take their key parts to try to see if it can withstand it?
This is true for external practice, and the same is true for internal practice.
There are really few people who dare to use their internal strength to train themselves.
Of course, Xu Yi is definitely not included among these people.
Isn't it the key part?
Do it!
