Although Ren Dashao is a prodigal, after all, he was born in a martial arts family, and he is no stranger to the division of the strength of martial artists on the rivers and lakes.

A martial artist who can cultivate internal strength is already a third-rate master in the rivers and lakes. What can a third-rate master do? Except for his athletic skills, there is no other difference between him and an ordinary martial artist.

But this is a watershed, martial artists with internal strength, after continuous cultivation, the strength in the body is getting stronger and stronger, and the improvement of physical fitness is also getting bigger and bigger.

Generally speaking, on the rivers and lakes, martial artists who have more than ten years of internal strength are usually classified as second-rate masters, and martial artists who have more than 30 years of internal strength are classified as first-class masters.

This is actually a rather vague division of strength, after all, some people are born with great strength, some people are born weak, and the internal strength cultivated by different mental methods itself is strong and weak, coupled with a variety of gorgeous martial arts characteristics, before there is no real sword and real gun competition, it is actually contrary to the fact that it is actually contrary to the fact that there is no real sword and real gun to distinguish the realm of martial artists by how much internal strength.

However, it can also be seen that the cultivation of internal strength is important to the strength of martial artists, and in rumors, those who can transform internal strength from gaseous to liquid, thus condensing into a golden pill, is the so-called "transcendent saint", this legendary realm, the rivers and lakes will call it "martial saint".

And the reason why the Ren family father and son can conclude that the incomplete mental method is a martial arts mental method that far surpasses today's martial arts is because it not only records the method of turning internal strength into gas, but also records some of the cultivation methods after that.

According to the record of this mental method, the cultivation of martial arts is actually divided into four realms: refining and refining qi, refining qi and transforming gods, refining gods and returning voids, and refining voids and combining paths, and the martial saint realm in the legends of the rivers and lakes is actually only the refining qi and transforming gods in these four realms.

Ren Qinglian doesn't know now that this kind of realm division of martial arts cultivation was once very popular in ancient times, and these four realms also correspond to the realm of Taoist cultivation, namely: Zhuji, Jiedan, Yuanying, and True Immortal.

The martial saint is the realm of Taoist cultivation, and this realm also has another name, which is the "land immortal" as the saying goes.

As for what kind of realm this true immortal is, it is actually the general name of the realm of the immortal path, according to the strength and weakness, the weakest immortal is probably what mortals often say "become an immortal" and the like, on top of this, there are Taiyi Immortals and Da Luo Immortals who are even more powerful.

And the three realms of the Taoist True Immortal correspond to the three realms of the Martial Dao Refining Void and the Void Dao: the Five Qi Dynasty Yuan, the Great Jue Golden Immortal, and the Broken Void.

Ancient martial arts have been influenced by the Taoist theory of cultivation since its birth, and it is the Tao that the human ancestors explored in the process of fighting the heavens and the earth, but as the human race stepped into the center of the historical stage, the kind of indomitable fighting spirit began to fade, and the ancient martial arts began to decline.

And the immortal fate has always been ethereal, there are many factions in this world that can cultivate immortals, not to mention anything else, in the entire Chang'an City alone, there are no less than ten Taoist temples and temples of all sizes.

But those who can really cultivate and ask about immortality say that few people have heard of it, and the so-called "one person attains the Tao and the chicken dog ascends to heaven" is more used to satirize those who rely on power to get promoted and make a fortune in the eyes of the general public.

Therefore, practicing martial arts has become a more common choice for mortals at present, their strength is generally not comparable with their ancestors, but they are stronger than ordinary people after all, these people are either bullying the weak, or acting righteously, so there are these chaotic grievances and grievances, and the rise and fall of the dynasty.

For Ren Qinglian, the Martial Saint is still too far away, time is in a hurry, and the Martial Arts Conference has arrived as scheduled.

Because it is a competition organized by the imperial court, the style is still very high, not only is there the six doors of the criminal department leading, but also several masters of the military department are in charge, and the venue of the competition is on the largest school martial arts field in the suburbs of Beijing, which has always been used to hold the martial arts imperial examination.

Ren Qinglian was called by the disciple sent by the White Hall Master early in the morning, and left the imperial city and went to the school martial arts field.

At this time, the sky was just dawning, but the school martial arts field was already crowded.

It seems that the martial artists who came here this time are far beyond their imagination!Ren Qinglian thought to herself.

The Tang Dynasty Wenzhi martial arts, the same as the literati, can climb the temple, and even Emperor Taizong has been fighting hard in recent years, sweeping the four yi, and the status of the warrior is still above the literati. Therefore, it is not surprising that there are many people who come to the martial arts conference, and the reward given by the imperial court is also very attractive to be able to become the entourage of Master Sanzang.

On the high platform above the school martial arts field, the chief catcher of the six doors and the three masters of the military department, Da Ma Jindao, sat upright in front of the sandalwood table, and on the side, a eunuch of the celebrant was promulgating the relevant rewards of the martial arts competition at the top of his voice:

"I am the Tang Dynasty, the martial arts of Wenzhi, the virtuous emperor and the holy world, and the Sanzang Master inspired the emperor, and I am willing to continue the good deeds, go west to seek scriptures, and tell the world to be kind to the people, and keep the Tang Dynasty forever. Today, the mage Chao Du entourage two people, supporting the left and right, and raising the prestige of our country. As a reward, the two selected followers will receive an Imperial Pill, and after the mage returns, there will be another Jiashang!

"Emperor Ji Dan?" a famous martial artist looked at the master of the celebrant in surprise. Compared with the predictable "other rewards", the appearance of this Huangji Dan is a little unexpected.

Ren Qinglian looked at the warriors around her who were eager to try, and she could imagine the madness that this Emperor Extreme Pill could cause.

The so-called "poor literature and rich martial arts", although martial artists do not have extremely high requirements for wealth and law like the Tao, but if there is enough "wealth", it is naturally easier to cultivate. Although the Huangji Pill is not an elixir, for ordinary martial artists, its effect of being able to increase the strength of thirty years alone is enough to make people crazy.

It is rumored that this Emperor Ji Dan was once ordered by the emperor of the previous dynasty to refine his Danshi with the treasures of the whole country, which not only has the effect of improving strength, but also can prolong life, for ordinary people, it is already a great elixir.

It has been handed down to this day, even the royal family does not have much stock in their hands, and now they can take out two of them as a reward for this martial arts conference, which shows that Emperor Taizong attaches great importance to this westward journey to seek scriptures.

Ren Qinglian naturally understood that not long ago, Emperor Taizong's underworld returned to his soul, probably because he was frightened......

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, the human emperor should be a high-ranking existence, but in the eyes of these immortals, he was just a chess piece to play at will. And he doesn't seem to even have enough qualifications to be a chess piece, this kind of emotion, this makes him full of simple pursuit of power for the first time, instead of simply settling down and dealing with the grievances in the rivers and lakes.
