Qi An didn't pick up the exercise book like others and couldn't wait to flip through it, he liked to skim through it briefly and summarize it first, and only then would he start cultivating when he had a bottom in his heart, which was perhaps a habit he had retained from his father's mouth for many years.

After he had spent most of his day forgetting to sleep and eat, there were a total of sixty-nine kinds of cultivation techniques in the library pavilion, each of which had reached at least the innate level.

That is to say, no matter which exercise method is used to cultivate, you can break through to the realm of condensing qi, which is obviously not comparable to those acquired exercises that are circulated among the people, it seems that the foundation of this Qianqing school is quite profound, and it is worthy of being officially founded by the regular school, which is ten million times stronger than those folk martial arts halls seen in Pingyang County.

However, among these sixty-nine kinds of cultivation exercises, there are three exercises that are extremely special, one is [Vajra is not bad], the second is [Barbarian God Protector], and the third is [Tuo Shen Arm].

The reason why they are special is because these three exercises are not orthodox qi refining methods, but body refining methods that find a different way.

Qi An knew early on that all martial artists, including the Innate Martial Sect, were classified as belonging to the Quenching Body Realm, which was the foundation building stage of the entire cultivation process. If you want to break through to the condensation realm, you need to continuously absorb the heaven and earth vitality from the outside world, sink the dantian, absorb the ten and save one, and finally build a true qi vortex in the dantian qi sea to open the true qi circulation in the body.

This is the cultivation system that is now regarded as the orthodox path of cultivation, and the cultivation system created around this process and purpose, that is, the qi refining system.

In fact, there is another opposite system of cultivation in the world, which is called the body refining system.

From the name, you can roughly understand the difference between the two systems, the qi refining system is based on the dantian qi sea as the core, and the control of the true qi is used by me, the true qi has the great power of destroying the withering and decaying, and can also be turned into the true yuan armor or the true qi barrier to defend;

Knowing this, Qi An couldn't help but be moved, because his situation was different from other martial sects, his dantian qi sea was occupied by the dark blue flame of unknown origin, once the heaven and earth vitality entered the dantian, it would be devoured in an instant, and it was impossible to cultivate normally, and his cultivation had reached a bottleneck, and it was difficult to improve, and now there was another road of refining in front of him, although it was not the right way to cultivate, but it made Qi An see a glimmer of hope.

According to these three body refining exercises, the body refining cultivators are not inferior to the qi refining cultivators in terms of combat power, and even stronger in the ability to protect their lives, but they are only lacking in long-range attacks and area killing.

In other words, the practice focuses more on frontal melee combat, and relies on strong defensive capabilities to rush to the front.

It's just that there are obvious flaws in the body refining exercises, first of all, the entry of the body refining is relatively slow compared to the qi refining, and the time it takes to cultivate to the same realm will take longer, and secondly, because there are very few body refining exercises available for cultivation in the world, and high-level body refining exercises are even rarer, after all, the vast majority of cultivators are on the path of qi refining, so it is very likely that when they cultivate to a certain extent, they will face the embarrassing situation of having no follow-up exercises available.

At this moment, the three body refining exercises in front of Qi An are all relatively low-level, taking the [Barbarian God Body Protection] as an example, there are only three levels: barbarians, barbarian kings, and barbarian gods. Practicing as a barbarian, the combat power is equivalent to the early stage of the condensation realm, and the training of the barbarian king is equivalent to the middle stage of the condensation realm, in the same way, the combat power of the barbarian god is equivalent to the late stage of the condensation realm, and then there will be no more, unless you create your own follow-up exercises, you will stop at the barbarian god stage for the rest of your life.

And [King Kong is not bad] is only slightly stronger than [Barbarian God Protective Body], which is divided into four levels: gold, silver, copper, and iron. The iron body is equivalent to a barbarian, the bronze body is equivalent to a barbarian king, the silver body is equivalent to a barbarian god, and the golden body is at the top, and its combat power is comparable to the peak of the condensation realm, and there is no follow-up technique to break through again.

[King Kong is not bad] and [Barbarian God Protector] are both refining exercises for the whole body, which are more balanced and have no flaws, while [Tuo Shen Arm] will go to the extreme, focusing on the tempering of the arms, so the protective ability is not as good as the first two, but the attack ability is more than it, when cultivating to the final realm, the arms are comparable to magic weapons, indestructible, and very terrifying, but the protective aspect is much worse than the first two, which is equivalent to giving up a certain amount of defense and paying more attention to the improvement of attack power.

These three body refining techniques, all of them stop at the Qi Condensation Realm, and after practice, they can only dominate among the Qi Condensing Realm cultivators at most, if they encounter a higher-level God Refining Realm Great Cultivator, they will not be able to resist, which is also the main reason why Qi An feels hesitant, after all, he has great ambitions, but he is not only satisfied with the Qi Condensing Realm, but also yearns for the Refining God Realm, or even the Rong Yuan Realm.

The physical exercises are placed there, to practice or not to practice?

After thinking about it several times, Qi An finally made up his mind: practice!

First of all, because of the blue flame, all the Qi Refining Methods have lost their effect on Qi An, that is to say, he is either idle and has nothing to do, or he is left with only the path of Body Refining Exercises.

Secondly, although he had only seen these three low-level body refining exercises at the moment, he might have some opportunities in the future to obtain deeper body refining exercises.

Thinking like this, Qi An made up his mind to abandon the qi refining path of the [Seven Absolute Sword Techniques] and convert the system to the one vein of body refining, as for which body refining method to choose, it still needs to be carefully considered.

First of all, the [Barbarian God Protector] was arranged by Qi to exclude, after all, it was similar to [King Kong is not bad], but it was one level less than the latter, and it was obviously unnecessary.

As for the relationship between [King Kong is not bad] and [Tuo Shen Arm], Qi An carefully compared and analyzed, and finally chose [King Kong is not bad], because [King Kong is not bad] is a set of extremely standardized body refining exercises, which is more balanced and more comprehensive, and the [Tuo Shen Arm] sword is on the side, although it strengthens the arms, but it does not take good care of other body parts, resulting in outstanding attack ability, but the defense is weakened, if it is caught by someone with a heart, it is likely to die because of this.

However, although Qi An chose [King Kong is not bad], he did not completely abandon the [Barbarian God Protector] and [Tuo God Arm], he is a person who is very good at thinking and summarizing, although he gave up the latter two, but he can also use them as a reference, after all, there are very few body refining exercises, and it is not a bad thing to know more about one and cross-reference understanding with [King Kong is not bad].

In particular, the [Tuo Shen Arm], which is different from the traditional body refining exercises, is very creative and worth absorbing and learning from, but the primary and secondary relationships must not be messed up, it must be the main practice [King Kong is not bad], and the other two body refining exercises can only be used as a reference, and they must not be noisy, otherwise it is easy to practice into four dislikes, or even go crazy, but it is not good.

After determining the next cultivation exercises, Qi An did not start to practice impatiently on the spot, but memorized all the three body refining exercises, and then dragged his tired body back to his residence.

He had been in the library for three days and two nights, his stomach was rumbling with hunger, although there was a canteen in the courtyard of the backing mountain, Qi An was so sleepy that he didn't bother to go out to forage for food, so he opened his bags in the room, ate some dry food casually, and fell asleep.

The next morning, Qi An finished freshening up, had breakfast, and rushed to the library again.

The students of the Qianqing Academy are mainly based on their own cultivation, and the existence of the school is only to provide them with wealth and law, even if there are teachings, there are only three public lectures every month, which are set on the fifth, fifteenth, and twenty-fifth days of the first month, and they can go or not, but they are only talking about the teachers' own practice experience, and answering the confusion encountered by the students on the way of cultivation, and will not ask you what to do, what can be done, and what cannot be done, this is completely up to the students' own decision.

The so-called "master leads the door, practice in the individual", probably this is the meaning, suitable for him, and must be suitable for you, the experience of predecessors, can only be used as a reference, must not be copied, completely copied.

After Qi An came to the library pavilion, he didn't look at the cultivation exercises again, but went to several bookshelves marked with "martial arts classics".

He understood a long time ago that practicing exercises is only one aspect, and martial arts skills are also very important, for example, after he mastered the [Seven Bird Fist], his strength was a little stronger than the original random fight, and later he successively cultivated the four martial arts of [Dragon Fist] [Bear Shaped Palm] [Snake Finger] [Tiger Claw], which were confirmed by each other, and the combat effectiveness was improved again, although it was much worse than the peak Martial Sect, but it was also a leader in the ordinary Martial Sect.

As a martial arts idiot, Qi An will definitely not let go of any martial arts classics in the library pavilion, even if he doesn't practice, he must read it again, draw nutrients from it, improve his knowledge, and improve his moves.

According to Qi An's habit, it is still sorted out and summarized first, but this time will take a lot, because the number of martial arts classics is obviously much more than that of the cultivation exercises, and it took Qi An seven or eight days to go through all the martial arts classics in detail.

There are a total of 425 kinds of martial arts classics in the entire library pavilion, which are roughly divided into four categories.

The first type is the movement techniques that use the body as a weapon, such as fists, palms, fingers, claws, legs, and so on.

The second category is the use of melee weapons, such as swords, swords, marks, sticks, axes, hammers, etc., which also include some soft weapons.

The third category is long-range weapons, such as throwing knives, spears and other throwing hidden weapons, and even archery.

The fourth category is body and footwork, which are slightly different, body style is more focused on speed, and footwork is more focused on dexterity.

These martial arts classics are deep and shallow, and with Qi An's experience, they cannot be determined for the time being, and it is very difficult to choose.
