Chapter 2 Introduction to Martial Arts
Mu Han, who got the money, first thought of buying a book of cultivation exercises, but with his current status, even if he had money, he couldn't buy it, after all, he didn't have the qualifications to step into that kind of place, so he could only ask others for help, and after thinking about it, he could only go to the shopkeeper of the medicine hall for help.
Finally, with the help of the shopkeeper Wang, it took three yuan of purple gold to buy an introductory practice book.
The above introduction is also very simple, whether a person can step into the martial arts qualification is very important, if the qualification is not enough, even if he spends his whole life in it, he will not be able to set foot in it.
Martial arts is like a door, and qualification is the key to entry, without this key, you can only be locked out forever.
The first and most crucial step is to cultivate qi, and through the breathing and practice, a steady stream of aura is obtained in the body.
The function of nourishing qi is to warm the body and meridians, so as to achieve a state where it can absorb and operate aura.
When you successfully recuperate and open up the meridians, you can be regarded as stepping into the introductory realm of martial arts.
The reason why many people are trapped outside the door is that the requirements for the human body itself are too high, and the requirement for God and mind is to be able to perceive the existence of qi spiritually. Qi and body are combined, that is, the body can successfully absorb and receive aura.
Therefore, many people either only meet one of these points, or they meet all of them, and there is another one who may not be able to afford a book of practice exercises in their lifetime.
Therefore, the status of a warrior is particularly noble, especially in this world where strength is respected.
At present, there are three main realms of martial artists described in the introductory exercises, the realm of cultivating qi, the martial artist of entry, and then the realm of gathering qi and practicing qi respectively.
Through hard cultivation day after day, Mu Han can only step into the Qi cultivation realm, but without the corresponding martial arts, he is only in the realm of empty martial arts, and his strength is stronger than ordinary people.
A real powerhouse, in addition to a strong realm and combat skills, also needs experience in fighting.
However, by chance, Mu Han discovered that the combination of Qi Nourishing Flower and several other unknown herbs actually had the effect of improving the body's acceptance of aura.
In the next few months, Mu Han continued to search for herbs, and caught the beasts on the mountain to cooperate with him to study various prescriptions, and in this way, Mu Han's own Qi Nourishing Powder was born.
In fact, if Mu Han can go to a bigger town, he will find that there is already an elixir called Qi Nourishing Pill on the market, but the price seems to be astronomical. After all, those are not for ordinary people.
With the change of physical fitness, Mu Han's speed from Qiaomu Village to Xiaoyang City has been significantly improved. Now it only takes half a day to travel between the two places.
Now because he frequently appears in Xiaoyang City with things, he is targeted by a group of mountain bandits.
And this group of mountain bandits is just relying on the weapons and ferocity in their hands, and their strength is stronger than ordinary people.
A group of people were ambushed early on the road that Mu Han had to pass.
"Big brother, the money on this kid should be enough for a few of us to fight tooth sacrifices, we have all found out, he has been selling medicinal herbs in the city in the past few months, and he should have saved a lot of money on him."
Not far away, Mu Han has not yet noticed the existence of a few people, through this period of cultivation, Mu Han's whole person's aura has also changed a lot, from the beginning of the only promise, to now there are some martial arts spirit.
Seeing Mu Han's appearance, several people came over from all around.
"Who are you?" Mu Han noticed that a few people were not good, but he never expected that a group of mountain bandits would target him.
"Boy, if you know each other, just leave the money obediently, and the provincial uncle will let you live, otherwise don't blame us for being ruthless." The man who took the lead brandished the long knife in his hand and threatened Mu Han.
Although Mu Han was a little flustered, he thought that his parents were killed at the hands of the mountain bandits, and the hatred in his heart gradually ignited.
Mu Han's eyes also became cold.
The little brother beside him saw Mu Han's expression and shouted: "It seems that you don't know how to lift, what kind of eyes are you, are you looking for death?" ”
Mu Han pulled out the firewood knife from his body, and the rusty firewood knife was constantly clenched in Mu Han's hand.
"The kid is looking for death, right, then I will fulfill you" The helper behind him took the lead in attacking, raising a knife to kill Mu Han.
Fortunately, Mu Han's reaction was fast enough, and he dodged the long knife that slashed down sideways, and punched the helper with a backhand.
The sound of bones breaking came, and it was obviously not Mu Han's fist.
I saw that the man was knocked to the ground with a punch, and his mouth let out a painful wail.
Seeing the scene in front of them, the rest of the people were only a little stunned, and they didn't think much about it but attacked together.
The sword light was mixed with blood light, and the injured Mu Han also completely woke up, today either you die or I die.
Mu Han no longer kept his hand, and the firewood knife in his hand kept slashing at several people, and the knife was fatal.
In an instant, blood gushed out, staining Mu Han red, and several people didn't understand what happened until they died.
The man who was left lying on the ground looked at what was happening in front of him, and his heart began to be consumed by fear.
"Don't, don't kill me, let me go, please."
"Why did I let you go, but you didn't let me go." After that, Mu Han waved his knife to solve the last person.
This was Mu Han's first shot, and the experience of these years had worn out the pity in his heart.
Kindness can only be bullied, and only strength can be respected.
By the river, Mu Han washed the blood stains and wounds on his body, and smeared it with his homemade medicinal powder. Although the names of the herbs are unknown, the effect is very good.
"Little guy, your skills are okay, but you're too kind, do you want to worship me as a teacher?" A man appeared not far from Mu Han, looked at Mu Han leisurely and asked.
"Who are you?" Mu Han asked vigilantly.
"Don't worry, I have no ill will towards you, if I want to make a move on you, you won't have a chance to speak." With that, the man made a sword with his fingers and swung it in his hand.
Several large trees next to it fell with a bang, and the cut surface was as smooth as a mirror, as if it had been cut by a sharp blade.
The man's casual attack was already beyond Mu Han's cognition, which seemed to be beyond the scope of the martial artist he knew.
"So, do you want to worship me as a teacher?" Looking at Mu Han's stunned expression, the man looked satisfied.
"Yes." Mu Han was excited, and his voice trembled from his mouth.
"The master is above, and he is worshiped by the apprentice." Mu Han respectfully walked up to the man and knelt down.
"Hahaha, okay, get up." The man lifted Mu Han up in the air.
Mu Han only felt that his body was light, and he was supported by an invisible force.
"As a teacher, I also happened to pass by, I have something to do today, so I will take these for you to cultivate well, and I will come back to you after a while."
A booklet and a token, which seemed to be some kind of token, appeared in front of Mu Han, and the man's figure disappeared with the voice.
Mu Han looked around, but still didn't find the man, if it wasn't for the exercise book and token in his hand, he thought everything was an illusion.
After reading it, Mu Han learned that this was a set of swordsmanship, but unfortunately he needed to gather qi to start cultivating.
With the encouragement of this set of swordsmanship, Mu Han's cultivation became more assiduous, cultivating his physique during the day and calming his mind and qi at night.
Three months later, Mu Han finally met the minimum requirements for learning this set of swordsmanship.
This exercise is called the Shushuang Sword Duel, the moves are sharp, and the killing is decisive.
After nearly two years, Mu Han's whole person has changed a lot, and a martial artist's breath emanates from his body.
In the past, due to the limited strength of Mu Han, there were countless kinds of beasts living in Luoxia Mountain, so he had never explored deeply.
As his strength became stronger, Mu Han began to wonder what would be in the depths of Luoxia Mountain, and whether there would be more rare elixirs.
Because of stepping into the Qi Gathering Realm, the effect of Qi Nourishing Powder is already minimal, and if you want to improve, you need to obtain other elixirs.
According to the records in the Baicao Chronicles, there are some elixirs that are specifically suitable for martial artists, but most of them grow in some dangerous areas.
Mu Han thought of one of the elixirs, the Purple Spirit Flower.
He still remembered the little beast he had caught earlier, known as the Purple Spirit Bear, and according to the records of the Hundred Herbs, half of the Purple Spirit Flowers were born in the place where the Purple Spirit Bear lived.
And that purple spirit bear should be a lost cub from the depths of Luoxia Mountain.
