Chapter 18
Stunned as he watched Ye Qiuli's series of unusual actions, Xuyun Lao Dao was really confused, and he didn't know why, until Ye Qiuli completely walked out of the threshold of the main hall, he came back to his senses, and shouted at Ye Qiuli's back: "Ye Qiuli Xiaoyou, you haven't copied the cheats yet!"
"Haha! Xie Daochang cares, and he has already memorized it all! I will leave here, and there will be a period later!" Hearing the words of the old Xuyun Dao, Ye Qiuli seemed to have expected it, and immediately let out a long laugh and then straightened his body, like a phantom, crossing the many buildings of the Wudang Sect and throwing himself into the vast forest sea outside the mountain.
"Ahh
"Wow!
"Hmph!
The people of the Wudang Sect who were so fiercely suppressed by Ye Qiuli were stunned for a while, and then they all spoke out to express their opinions, or surprised, or admired, or disdainful, and so on, in the Zixiao Palace, which was still silent just now, it was very loud again in an instant.
However, at this time, Ye Qiuli could not hear the noise in Zixiao Palace at all, and his mind had already been occupied by the "Nine Changes of Fish and Dragon" left by Zhang Sanfeng. For spending only a few pills to change from the Wudang Sect to this magical cultivation technique, Ye Qiuli really felt that it was worth the money.
......
With satisfaction after achieving his goal, after leaving Wudang Mountain, Ye Qiuli did not rush back to his residence, but turned back to Shennongjia, which is connected to the Wudang Mountain Range, and searched in the vast Shennongjia primeval jungle, and only returned with a full load after collecting countless spiritual herbs and elixirs.
Back at his residence, Ye Qiuli made a rough calculation, and was stunned to find that this time he went to Wudang Mountain to exchange for "Nine Changes of the Fish and Dragon", plus the subsequent medicine collection Shennongjia, a few inconspicuous little things, it took him about a month in total. This result really made him sigh with emotion, time really can't form a very precise concept for cultivators.
This is just a radius of a few thousand miles, if you devote yourself to the vast universe and travel to different planets, the time spent is even more terrifying, I am afraid that it is not uncommon to measure it in years, ten years, and hundreds of years. Thinking of this, Ye Qiuli couldn't help but sigh secretly: "Sure enough, there is no nail in the mountain, and I don't know how long it will be cold." In a cultivator's long life, the time that can really be spent on free expenses is only a handful!"
After deeply feeling that the life of a cultivator was not as comfortable and leisurely as ordinary people imagined, Ye Qiuli took a break, quickly adjusted his state, and continued to devote himself to the cultivation of the Five Elements True Qi. Although he had already cultivated to the late stage of foundation building, he was now in the bottleneck state of breaking through to the enlightenment period, and the cultivation effect was very slight, and he could not feel it at all without comparing it for a period of time. However, he persistently ran the "Five Elements True Qi" exercises repeatedly, polishing his true qi little by little, and slowly but surely progressed.
Although he had never had cultivation experience before, Ye Qiuli had always believed that the improvement of cultivation was never something that could be achieved overnight, and could only be slowly increased in the consumption of water drops. The difference between a master and a mediocrity is slowly accumulated in this kind of bits and pieces. There is no shortcut on the road of cultivation, and only after the tempering of time can we truly reach the starting point of the immortal world. The master is lonely, and the person who can't stand the loneliness will definitely not be able to succeed!
Of course, in addition to his hard work, Ye Qiuli also took advantage of his free time to sort out the cheats of "Nine Changes of the Fish and Dragon" that he had written down in Wudang Mountain and Zhang Sanfeng's cultivation experience, and enrich them into his martial arts database. It wasn't until he had finished typing in the contents of several books that he began to carefully study this unique cultivation method and carefully explore the great secrets hidden in it.
It took a short period of time to read through the martial arts cheats and cultivation codex left by Zhang Sanfeng, and after understanding the causes and consequences of his creation and cultivation of this strange technique, Ye Qiuli finally had a comprehensive grasp of the ins and outs of "Nine Changes of the Fish and Dragon", completely understood the basic principles and special features of this cultivation method, and roughly figured out the fundamental reason why Zhang Sanfeng could cultivate to the unprecedented land immortal realm.
Although "Nine Changes of the Fish and Dragon" is the biggest basis for Zhang Sanfeng to break through the mythical realm and promote to the realm of land immortals, it is not the Wudang faction's town faction exercises, and the Wudang faction's town faction magic skills have always been only one - Tai Chi. "Nine Changes of Fish and Dragon" is a cultivation method that is completely different from the mainstream martial arts after Zhang Sanfeng created the Tai Chi Divine Skill, and its peculiarity is simply a complete subversion of the basic common sense of martial arts cultivation. Don't say that ordinary people can't understand it at all, and even if they do, they don't dare to try it.
This was also the most crucial reason why Ye Qiuli was able to learn it without spending too much money, because the Wudang Sect had already known that it was impossible for this technique to be successfully cultivated, and even if others learned it, it would not have much impact on them.
Speaking of which, they used such a "Nine Changes of the Fish and Dragon" that only has symbolic meaning and no practical value, and exchanged it for 14 top-grade elixirs from Ye Qiuli's hands, which is completely profitable. After all, Ye Qiuli had only briefly browsed it, and Zhang Sanfeng's original handwriting was still well stored on Wudang Mountain.
To get back to the point, in fact, when Zhang Sanfeng first practiced martial arts, he also learned the most orthodox martial arts exercises in the martial arts, and did not create such a unique cultivation method as "Nine Changes of the Fish and Dragon". Of course, at that time, he didn't have the ability to create a completely new cultivation method. According to the record in his cultivation codex, he only started to try this new cultivation method when he was about to break through the mythical realm.
At that time, when Zhang Sanfeng exchanged martial arts experience with his disciple grandson, the former head of the Ming Sect and also the top master of congenital masterhood, Zhang Wuji had an in-depth discussion of the "Jiuyang Divine Skill", "Nine Yin True Scripture", "Qiankun Great Shift" and other unique learnings that Zhang Wuji had learned. When discussing the "Nine Yin True Scripture", he was touched by the cultivation process of Huang Shang, the founder of the True Scripture recorded in the scripture, and on a whim, he germinated the idea of trying it himself. In the end, after many explorations and risks, he succeeded in creating a completely different cultivation method of "Nine Changes of the Fish and Dragon".
In the history of martial arts that stretches for thousands of years, geniuses emerge one after another, and Huang Shang is the most dazzling one of them. He was not originally a martial arts person, just a civil official who helped the emperor sort out and compile the "Daozang", after compiling 3000 volumes of "Daozang", he suddenly became familiar with the Taoist classics and comprehended, understood the true meaning of the Taoism, and created the martial arts mastery "Nine Yin True Scripture" in one go.
It's a pity that he was already in his 40s when he created the true scriptures, long past the best age for practicing martial arts, and the muscles and bones and meridians of his body have been aged and shaped.
If it is an ordinary person encountering this situation, it is likely to give up, but Huang Shang is a rare immortal genius for thousands of years, he based on the understanding of the Taoist classics, in-depth study of martial arts, medicine and other subjects, and successfully created a peculiar cultivation method - Yi tendon forging bone Dafa, through the acquired exercise, from the outside to the inside, constantly improve their physical condition, so that they can finally practice the "Nine Yin True Scripture" and become a generation of martial arts masters.
In this period of history, what interests Zhang Sanfeng the most is the method of easy tendon forging bones created by Huang Shang, which is transformed by acquired exercise, from the outside to the inside, and constantly strengthens and improves his physical condition, so that his qualifications are better and more suitable for practicing martial arts.
Ordinary people practice martial arts is a process from the outside to the inside, and then from the inside out, first exercise the body, enhance the qi and blood, and then through meditation, meditation and other methods, transform the power of qi and blood into the internal force of true qi, which flows in the meridians and acupoints, and stores it in the sea of dantian qi. After cultivating the internal force of the True Qi, the internal force of the True Qi can be used to warm and nourish the internal qi, adjust the qi and blood of the internal organs, and improve the physical condition, so as to master greater strength and prolong life to a large extent.
In this process, in addition to the early physical training that slightly enhanced the physical fitness of the martial artist, the later cultivation mainly focused on the improvement and purification of the internal force of the true qi, even if it involves the part of the body, it is mainly based on warmth and fine-tuning, and the degree of strengthening in the muscles and bones of the flesh is not high.
Therefore, in the later stage of life, when the longevity is about to end, the body of the martial arts master will also decline rapidly, basically relying on the profound skill cultivation to maintain their own survival, the deeper the true qi cultivation, the more intact the survival state, once the gong is broken, the cultivation is lost, the whole person will immediately age and die rapidly, never rely on their own strong muscles and strong vitality, and maintain the case of survival for a long time.
This is also the reason why the saying "old people don't take their muscles and bones as their ability" has been circulating in the rivers and lakes, in addition to the fact that those martial arts masters do surpass ordinary people in the realm, no longer think of fighting fiercely, and concentrate on the pursuit of spiritual level improvement;
Such a phenomenon, which has become accustomed to nature in the eyes of ordinary people, has aroused Zhang Sanfeng's suspicions. He began to wonder what kind of realm the traditional martial arts cultivation method could reach, whether it was the only way for human beings to evolve themselves, and whether it was a correct choice for cultivators to persevere on this path.
At the same time, in the vast and vast natural world, those primitive creatures that are different from human beings have shown Zhang Sanfeng another way of evolution.
In a world that is all dependent on the laws of survival of the fittest, killing and survival are eternal themes, and the stronger and more powerful individuals of the same kind of creatures, the more vigorous their vitality and the longer they can survive. Even between different types of organisms, populations with strong bodies are often able to occupy more survival resources and better pass on their bloodlines.
These creatures have not developed a cultivation civilization like humans, nor have they mastered any strange abilities, but they have successfully survived for millions of years and have never gone extinct. The basis of their survival is naturally that strong body.
