"You are Su Changfa?" The old man asked lukewarmly, and at the same time reached out and took out a cigarette stick from his waist, slowly filled it with tobacco leaves, and took a sip in his mouth.

Zhou Yuan looked at it from the side and secretly laughed in his heart, this old man is not senile, the tobacco leaves in your smoking pot have not been lit, what kind of strength do you put in your mouth.

I don't know what means the old man used, after he took a few puffs, the tobacco leaves in the smoke pot actually smoked, and he took another sip, and the tobacco actually burned on its own. The old man took a leisurely puff of cigarette and exhaled a puff of white smoke, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.

The smoke condensed on the old man's head for a long time, and the wind could not blow, so it formed a wisp of its own and drifted outside the inn.

With such a hand, Zhou Yuan already knew that the old man's internal strength had reached the realm of a grandmaster who had entered the hall. Although his own internal strength is low, he has not even broken through the dantian qi sea so far. But he followed Su Changfa's side to listen to the teachings every day in the past few days, and when the two of them were riding horses and hurrying to leisure, Su Changfa casually commented on the martial arts of the world's sects, which invisibly greatly broadened Zhou Yuan's horizons.

If you talk about how ingenious the moves of ordinary martial arts players are, and how clever their body and footwork are, this Zhou Yuan really can't see it. Su Changfa took him to the beginning based on internal strength, and when chatting with him, he also focused on the elaboration and explanation of internal forces.

A beginner like Zhou Yuan, who has no obvious internal strength, wants to break through a total of 702 acupuncture points in the 12 meridians and eight veins in his body, at least eight or nine years of hard practice, this is still a systematic set of breathing methods that he can practice in the same way, and his progress is much faster than that of ordinary martial artists.

The internal force starts from the Qi Sea Cave in the front chest and ends at the Snow Mountain Cave at the waist after breaking through the last level, which is the so-called Kaiqi Sea Snow Mountain. According to the different breathing methods practiced by each sect, the order and progress of the acupuncture points are also different, but this one and all the methods are the same, and it can be regarded as the same end.

After opening the Qi Sea Snow Mountain, the true qi in the body can travel through the meridians of the whole body on its own, forming a closed loop of endless circulation, which is called a Zhou Tian. The true qi circulates in the body every day, and after each cycle, the true qi in the body can be strengthened by one point. This can be regarded as the stage of small success, and the martial artists who open the Qi Sea and Snow Mountain already have the means to use qi to defend things and hurt people with qi.

It's just that this breathing method is rare, and it is mostly in the hands of famous sects, and it is one of the fundamentals of the inheritance of a sect, who is willing to easily show it to others? It is because there are also a lot of martial artists in the unopened sea and snow mountains on the rivers and lakes, and there are many martial artists who only open one or two veins in some third-rate gangs, and they are the leading figures such as the gang leader and protector, and it is the limit to be able to open eight or nine veins.

Because of the huge number of warriors who cannot open the Qi Sea Snow Mountain on the rivers and lakes, a group that cannot be ignored has been formed, and this group and the Qi Sea Snow Mountain warriors have an obvious and universal strength fault, like a realm suppression, so there is a reference noun called "pulse realm." ”

The pulse realm refers to the group of warriors below the Snow Mountain of the Kaiqi Sea, some people take the opening of the twelve meridians as the great perfection, and some people count the eight veins of the Qi Sutra and think that the opening of the twenty veins is considered to be complete, which is actually correct, and when the twelve meridians are opened, a complete cycle can already be formed within the human body.

The internal force of the pulse realm martial artist is blocked by the acupoint and cannot penetrate the body, so at this stage, the martial artist relies more on moves or blades to win. Most of the second-rate gangs on the rivers and lakes, the dart masters, and even the disciples of the first-class sects within eight years of entry, are mostly in this realm.

And the martial artist who opened the Qi Sea Snow Mountain can be regarded as a first-class player in the rivers and lakes, and he is enough to be the head of a second-rate gang. Even in Shaolin, a famous faction like Wudang will not be taken lightly, even if it can't be the first seat of a courtyard, a view of the master, at least the qualification to open the door and accept apprentices is there.

On the top of the sea of qi and snow mountains, there is also a stage of qi channeling and returning to the void. The so-called Qi Channeling Returns to Void is that one's own true qi has reached a maximum value, and the dantian qi sea cannot accommodate it, so that the true qi overflows from the acupuncture points of the whole body and is difficult to control, and the uncontrollable momentum alone makes people dare not look directly, and even have the urge to kneel down!

Originally, the martial artist cultivated to this realm, and he was already the top existence in the rivers and lakes, and his personal force alone was enough to arouse the jealousy and wooing of the court, and it was no exaggeration to say that one person resisted an army against the enemy. Such a character needs to be registered in the Honglu Temple in the six parts of the court, and the official body token is given by the imperial court, and the official body token is issued every year according to the specifications of a first-class official, and the official is not subject to the control of the state government where he is located, and he is known as a party! They also have a more fascinating title for the people of the rivers and lakes, called the Great Grandmaster!

But the Great Grandmaster also had the distress of the Great Grandmaster, and their irrepressible rampage True Qi was too arrogant. Outsiders can't bear it, and their own bodies can't bear it for a long time. Moreover, the internal force accumulated over decades is too deep, but it is difficult to guide the true qi to run smoothly in the meridians, and there is always a risk that the meridians will go against the fire and fall into the devil. Moreover, there is a steady stream of new true qi gushing out in the sea of dantian qi, like a balloon that is constantly inflated, if it cannot successfully conduct qi and return to the void, then it can only abandon its martial arts, otherwise there is a danger of blowing it up. This is also the martial arts obstacle that only top masters will encounter in the rivers and lakes.

In fact, the principle of qi conduction is also very simple, and the difficult thing is the actual operation method. The so-called Qi Channeling and Deficiency is to input the excess True Qi in the body into the deeper internal organs of the body, and open up a new place for nourishing Qi in the five internal organs.

Nourishing the five internal organs with true qi and running around the meridians are two different levels. After returning to the void with qi conduction, its own strength can get a great leap forward and open up a new world.

Among the five internal organs, the kidneys belong to water, the lungs belong to gold, the heart belongs to fire, the spleen belongs to earth, and the liver belongs to wood.

Nourishing the five internal organs with true qi can stimulate the power of the five elements in the body, merge with the heavens and the earth, and control the elements!

For example, today, the only person who has really entered the realm of land immortals is probably the Zhengtian Master Mansion of Longhu Mountain, and the Zhengtian Master who controls the Five Thunder Secret Methods.

This is the official certification of the imperial court, and after careful comparison, Zhou Yuan feels that his master seems to be in this sequence. This made him very pleasantly surprised, if the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain is recognized as the first in the world, then isn't his own master a master in the world?

But now the situation is a little uncertain. If it is said that the thin old man in front of him ignited the tobacco in the cigarette pouch purely with internal force, then wouldn't he have also passed through the stage of channeling qi to the void and entered the realm of land immortals?

Zhou Yuan couldn't tell the strength of the thin old man, and Su Changfa, who was sitting next to him, could see it at a glance. The old man had just smoked a few times at the cigarette holder, and slowly dried the moisture of the tobacco with pure and profound pure yang internal force, until the tobacco reached a critical ignition point and spontaneously combusted without fire with pure internal force. Relying on his puff of cigarette alone, this old man has the strength of a great grandmaster!

There are a number of great masters in the world, but there are only ten fingers, there are seven people in the rivers and lakes, and there are three people in the imperial court, although Su Changfa has not seen them one by one, but he has always heard of them. But the old man in front of him and anyone Su Changfa knew were not the same, who was this person, and what was the purpose of coming here? Even Su Changfa was secretly interested.
