The true qi in Li Qingxuan's body is from scratch, and the upper dantian contains innate vitality, which is seven inches high. The wind is quiet, leaving only the room full of flesh and feathers, and it is a mess everywhere. Everything fell silent. The room was full of messes, wooden tables, wooden beds, all destroyed, pots and pans were swept to the corners, and there were many feathers and flesh, all over the place.

There were many scratches on the walls, as if they had been slashed by countless swords, and even the water tank had been shattered, but fortunately, the spiritual water inside had bottomed out, and there was not much left. The raspberry grass, which was nourished by the dishwashing water and gradually flooded Kanazawa, was spared, but the broken ding used to grow the raspberry grass fell into the corner of the wall, and it seemed to have broken a corner.

Li Qingxuan looked at the mess in the room and smiled bitterly, but the seven-inch innate vitality in the upper dantian was real, and with just one thought, he could follow the Tai Zhou Tiangong's exercise route and travel the meridians of the whole body.

Zhang Laodao crossed his knees on the ground, opened his eyes slightly, but his eyes were already quite cloudy, full of white hair, and his face was full of wrinkles, he sighed and said: "The twelve inches of true qi that have been refined for nearly a hundred years for the teacher, only two inches are left, and the rest is sent to your body. But this true qi does not come from your own cultivation after all, and it still needs to be sharpened in order to operate freely, and this step is not difficult. ”

Li Qingxuan nodded yes, he was a little worried about his master's injury, and looked at Zhang Laodao, who was in a withered form, with a depressed expression. "You don't have to be sad, it's already very happy to have such a qualified successor as a teacher, and I can smile at Jiuquan after a hundred years. ”

Zhang Laodao's voice was slightly lower, and he looked weak: "Master Wei thought that this twelve inches of true qi would be enough for you to leave a wisp of it, but you left a seven-inch high innate vitality, and among the cultivators who have cultivated true qi, it is also a superior person. ”

Zhang Laodao said: "I also have a book here, which is a note on the world for the teacher, and all kinds of anecdotes and insights are in it. If you want to walk the world in the future, you can read it a little, and among them, there are many records about martial arts, you can also read a little, but you still have to focus on cultivating the Tao and practicing qi, don't miss your great future. ”

Li Qingxuan bowed his head slightly and said softly, "Disciple understands. Zhang Laodao nodded slightly, was silent for a moment, and said, "You...... What else do you have to ask?" Li Qingxuan knew that the master and his old man had lost his true qi to protect his viscera, and he had already run out of oil, although he drank two cups of pure spiritual water brewed from the golden pill, he could only hang a glimmer of life, and talking too much was extremely detrimental to his body.

Although Li Qingxuan had doubts in his heart, he finally shook his head. "You have something to say. Zhang Laodao's eyes were slightly relieved, "My life as a teacher is not long, and it is excellent to be able to remove some obstacles in front of you." I can dissipate my own Taoism and lay the foundation for you, and I have already lost a lot of vitality, do you still miss these last few days? ”

Li Qingxuan gritted his teeth lightly and said, "The disciple still has a problem with the cultivation of qi and martial arts. Zhang Laodao laughed and said: "In the realm of cultivation, there is a sense of qi, true qi, and the release of true qi, so it is divided into three realms, which are equivalent to the three realms of carrying qi and blood in martial arts, cultivating internal strength, and releasing internal strength. ”

"However, it is easy to practice martial arts, even if you can't carry qi and blood, and you only know a few skills, you can be regarded as having the power to protect yourself. And my cultivator and qi cultivator, even if he cultivates his qi sense, it is really not of much use, only when he cultivates his true qi can he be compared with the generation of internal strength. ”

"In contrast, the internal strength is fierce and based on qi and blood, so it is more powerful, and because of this, the qi and blood are turbulent and it is very easy to hurt the body. However, the true qi is different, the true qi is mainly for health preservation, although it is not as strong as internal strength, but it also has the effect of strengthening the body, and can better maintain the internal organs and prolong life. ”

After a pause, Zhang Laodao raised his eyes and glanced at Li Qingxuan, and said: "Although the true qi is not as fierce as the internal strength, you are no longer inferior to ordinary people with internal strength, and the true qi is healthy, protects the internal organs, increases qi and blood, and has the effect of prolonging life. ”

Li Qingxuan was slightly surprised, they all said that the world is a hundred years, but ordinary people only live for decades, and if they can live to be 100 years old, they are already a long life, not to mention more than 100 years old. "Although the internal strength is fierce, it is a pity that it hurts the body, and it is easy to kill when you get old. Only by cultivating the realm of the grandmaster who has internal strength and external release, can he have the ability to hurt people by picking flowers and flying leaves, and when he reaches this realm, he pays attention to health preservation and longevity, but unfortunately it is destined to be as effective as the true qi of the cultivator. ”

Zhang Laodao said: "Although the true qi is not strong and strong, but the temperament is mild, it can maintain health and longevity, if you cultivate nine inches of true qi, you can release the true qi, and you also have the ability to pick flowers and fly leaves and hurt people." Li Qingxuan was slightly fascinated, and he hesitated: "What kind of mysterious realm is the release of true qi?"

After that, Li Qingxuan looked at the mess all over the place, and knew a little in his heart, if he had such skills, wouldn't it be no different from the Divine Passage Method?" "According to my experience, if you cultivate nine inches of true qi, you will be able to release your true qi, and at that time, you can breathe and breathe out all three hundred and sixty-five points in your body, just like your mouth and nose." ”

Zhang Laodao said slowly: "From now on, the dust will not be stained, foreign objects will not invade, as long as the mind moves, the true qi can be released, and the body can be swept away." Li Qingxuan exclaimed: "Isn't it possible to resist swords, guns and arrows when the true qi is released?" Zhang Laodao heard this, and smiled dumbly: "Someone stabbed you in the chest with a gun, can you still blow the iron spear away in one go?" Li Qingxuan was slightly speechless.

"The true qi is released, in fact, there are not many mysteries, but the three hundred and sixty-five points can breathe. Even if you try your best, the strength of the true qi is stronger than that of ordinary people exhaling with all their might, just like the breeze blowing on the face, it is not the legendary miracle of the Gangfeng body. ”

Zhang Laodao looked at the mess in the room, and said with a smile: "This may be the vision of the transmission of the gong, or maybe it is because you took the Jindan spiritual water, all in all, the true qi that I exerted when I was in my heyday was released, and the scene was definitely not so amazing." Li Qingxuan thought silently in his heart, compared to the art of fighting, cultivators in the same realm are still not comparable to those who practice martial arts.

"You don't have to be disappointed, after all, we are mainly immortal, and the Divine Passage Method is still secondary, besides, if you can have this kind of Gangfeng today, you will cultivate to a higher realm in the future, and maybe when the true qi is released, you can also have this kind of strength Gangfeng. ”

Zhang Laodao said with a smile: "No matter how bad it is, the cultivation of twelve inches of true qi, picking flowers and flying leaves can hurt people, and even holding a sword to chop, it is enough to open a stele and crack a stone, this kind of skill is also miraculous in the eyes of ordinary people, and it is almost not inferior to the peak of martial arts." ”

When Li Qingxuan heard this, he was a little curious, and asked: "Since Master said that nine inches of true qi can be released, how can Master have twelve inches of true qi?" "I don't know this, after cultivating the true qi and releasing it, my true qi is still growing, and then it is twelve inches high, overflowing the upper dantian, and then it stops." ”

Zhang Laodao shook his head and said, "Actually, those cultivators I have seen are also cultivators who release their true qi, but they all stop at nine inches of true qi. Even those martial arts masters who have cultivated their internal strength and released their external strength are not as strong as my true qi. ”

"Ordinary people have cultivated nine inches of true qi and stopped here, but after Tai Zhou Tiangong cultivated his true qi and released it, he can still grow?" Li Qingxuan had a slight realization in his heart, "Maybe this exercise is different from ordinary exercises." ”

Zhang Laodao said a lot, perhaps because he was afraid of frustrating his apprentice's confidence, he pondered for a moment, and then said: "Although the true qi is not as strong as the internal strength, but you can maintain your health, and when you reach the realm of the release of the true qi, you will cultivate to a twelve-inch innate vitality, and the true qi is strong, in fact, it is deeper than the cultivation of those great martial arts masters, which is enough to make up for the lack between the true qi and the internal strength." Just like walking the world as a teacher, even if it is a great martial arts master, it may not be my opponent. ”

Li Qingxuan woke up at such a moment, but he was a little more enlightened, and said in a deep voice: "Master, you can rest assured, cultivate the Tao to seek immortality, and the rest is nothing more than external forces." These external forces that we have added to our cultivation and qi cultivation are comparable to those martial arts figures who are good at fighting, and they are enough to be proud. Not to mention ......"

Li Qingxuan paused slightly, his tone changed slightly, and said: "Martial arts have reached the realm of a great grandmaster, and they are almost at the end of their lives, and their potential is difficult to tap again. And I am a cultivator, there must be a road ahead, such as the Gangfeng in front of me, the sword pill, and the golden pill, all of which are extremely wonderful things, which can be seen that above the release of true qi, there is also a mysterious immortal realm. With Li Qingxuan's indifferent heart, he couldn't help but stiffen when he said such proud words.

Although Zhang Laodao could hear that he was deliberately arrogant, probably wanting to make himself happy, Zhang Laodao, who saw the truth, still smiled from his heart and said: "That's right, martial arts is martial arts after all, it is learned in the world, and it has reached the top of the realm of the great grandmaster." However, the cultivators of my generation have cultivated immortality, cultivated the path of immortals, and there is a way forward. ”

Looking at Master Zhang Laodao's smile, showing his old and down-to-earth state, Li Qingxuan couldn't help but feel a clump in his heart, and wanted to say something to make him happy, but he didn't know where to start. "Recently, the teacher only asked you to practice that sword, but did not let you practice other sword techniques, nor did he let you practice other body techniques, just because I found out that there are quite clues in it. ”

Zhang Laodao said in a low voice: "For the teachers and students, I am afraid that letting you practice other swordsmanship will affect the changes of that sword, which is not pure enough and loses its charm, so it has not been passed on to you." "Behind Tai Zhou Tiangong, there is a lifelong cultivation perception of the teacher, including the understanding of the Tao and formations, the feng shui environment and other metaphysical views. ”

"In the future, when you want to engrave the fire talisman recorded on the Dao sword, you may be able to look at the talisman perception of the teacher, and in addition, the reason why you only cultivate one sword is actually related to the talisman comprehension. Zhang Laodao pondered for a moment, and then said: "I have only accepted two apprentices in my life, Xuan'er, if you have achieved something in your cultivation in the future, remember to help your senior brother." "Master, take your teachings to heart. ”
