Time passed, and more than two years have passed in a blink of an eye.

Wang Gou's retreat is only an inconspicuous area in the vast swamp, and since the beginning of the retreat, Wang Gou has been hunting and practicing martial arts in the surrounding area, except for one shopping trip.

There has been a lot of calm for miles around the area, and there have been fewer than ten sounds of outsiders passing by in the past two years, and the insects and snakes that grow naturally under the mire are estimated to have been bred for several generations.

Except for the chance sight of two snakes blocked outside the entrance of the cave by a baffle and insect repellent, Wang Gou has been spending a dull time in repeated hunting, martial arts and thinking. The two snakes are estimated to be relatives of the aboriginal snake in the cave before, and after Huang Gou hacked them to death, they were also reunited with a kick.

Wang Gou felt that this kind of quiet day was very relaxed and comfortable, and he was used to the complicated city in his previous life, which made him feel very comfortable. It's just that I occasionally think of the flourishing and prosperous civilization in my previous life, the kind of society full of dark and smiling faces where people with lofty ideals maintain themselves or try their best to change, and the majestic trend that people's hearts will develop towards civilization.

In Wang Gou's view, although this world has special extraordinary abilities, it is still a feudal society-type world, and each sect is extremely independent within the country, and people can blatantly suppress others within their own sphere of influence.

Sure enough, in societies with lower civilizations, violence becomes more frequent, and force becomes more important. Think about the world in the previous life, although it was still in the stage of civilizational growth, although any country did not need the consent of others when using force, it still had to not only find a reason for civilization for the whole world, but also ensure that it could not cross some civilizational bottom lines in violent conflicts.

......

On this day, it was noon.

The summer sun shines unceremoniously on the mountains and marshes, scorching the vast areas of the crow swamps, and the water in the mires becomes somewhat scarce.

Under the shade of the platform at the entrance of the cave, Wang Gou was standing on the ground with his horse and steadily maintaining a posture, his hands tightly pulled into fists close to his body, which was the only posture in the third layer of Sunflower Gong!

There is no standard for the second level of Sunflower Gong to be practiced successfully, only some muscle sensations explained by experience after success, and ultimately the feeling when the third layer of posture is applied.

That is, one hour after the third layer pose, when one of the acupuncture points on the side of the heart is heated and clear, you can successfully enter the third layer.

Wang Gou had been in the third layer for a while, and judging from the feeling of fever this morning, it had reached the level of true qi generation in the description, and Wang Gou had been in this position for several hours.

......

Suddenly, there was a slight shock in his heart.

"It's time to finally see the true wonder of this world! This is the mystery of the human body that has never existed on earth!"

Then he felt that the acupuncture point in the middle of his heart, from an imperceptible trace of true qi, slowly increased to a mass the size of half a knuckle, and in terms of volume, it was about a centimeter in diameter.

At the same time, the heart vibration became extremely powerful, like a car with a diesel engine, not very fast, but it could almost shake the car apart.

As the whole body, which was a little agitated because of the strong beating of the heart, slowly calmed down, Huang Gou began to feel and test this small ball of true qi in the heart.

True Qi can be perceived and controlled by people like human limbs, its shape is similar to steam, it can be simply deformed, not affected by gravity, and it can also be controlled and compressed about 100 times to become dense, but it is difficult to feel and continue to control after compression.

True Qi seems to have a sense of touch, so the direction and shape of the meridians on the body can be perceived through the movement of True Qi within the body.

True Qi can only travel within the meridians, and at present, its speed is very slow, and it cannot enter some small meridian branches.

When the True Qi travels through certain meridians and acupoints, the muscles and skin of the surrounding areas will be slightly strengthened by pouring the True Qi out of the meridian walls by pouring out a little bit of the True Qi.

After some exploration, Wang Gou made some assumptions about the nature of true qi based on the above phenomena:

First, True Qi responds to the dense neural network throughout the body, so the human brain can control and receive the information of True Qi after giving instructions.

Even true qi originally belonged to the nerves of the human body, but after fusing some unknown substances produced by the acupoints, although it still belongs to the body, it has properties such as being able to separate and strengthen.

Second, true qi is like energy, using the meridians as conduits, which can transport energy to various parts to strengthen the muscles and skin of the parts, so that the skin hardness exceeds that of second-rate masters.

Thirdly, according to the existing second-rate peak martial arts skills, when an attack is issued, the true qi can be exerted with extraordinary power while continuously flowing out of the true qi in the required order between the corresponding meridians and acupoints.

Of course, this mass of True Qi must have enough to keep flowing out of True Qi during the wandering process and will not be exhausted. According to the description, there should not be much difference in the amount of this ball of True Qi used by the 8 second-rate peak skills, and he defined the minimum amount needed as 1 unit of True Qi.

In the first-class skill books, it is even required to divide it into several strands of true qi, and circulate in different meridians at the same time! His true qi is not enough, so he can't do it yet.

From the perspective of the true airflow path, not all of them are the same as the muscle parts required for mechanical analysis of skill movements. Therefore, it is estimated that this circulation process should also be used to produce some unknown substances to enhance the effect of the skill.

......

After doing some thinking, after a while, as the perception range of the body's meridians and various parts increased, Wang Gou finally knew what the hidden dangers of the so-called young age and overload martial arts were bringing.

The manifestation of hidden dangers is that there are many parts of the body that have some bends in the meridians. It's like someone else's meridians are moving in a straight line, and his has to turn a few semi-circular small bends and move forward.

So he has two points of analysis.

First, the hidden danger of not increasing life expectancy is estimated to be that after the shape or length of the meridians change, life-increasing substances cannot be produced.

Second, the change in the shape of the meridians affected the speed of true qi circulation, which was affected when he broke through to a first-class master.

He learned that when he entered the first class, he had to have at least one meridian of compressed true qi, according to analysis, about 500 units of true qi.

However, the presence of many small curved meridians in his body will not only reduce the speed of his true qi, but also if his true qi speed is too fast, it may damage the meridians and cause serious injuries when he breaks through.

After all, even if the car drifts around a corner, you have to slow down, otherwise you will be ruined if you are not careful. And he himself not only overloaded the exercise, but also wanted to drift!

......

Then he couldn't wait to try it out according to the second-rate peak martial arts in his memory.

First-class martial arts require too much true qi, and you can't learn it without entering the first-class level. But he has gained 8 second-rate peak martial arts skills, 4 second-rate peak martial arts skills, and 3 first-class martial arts in the Diwang Sect!

8 second-rate peak martial arts skills are available in both hands and feet, and he casually found a skill called a three-stage kick. It was easy to get started, and it only took Wang Gou an hour.

After trying out the skill, he found that the meridian bending did not affect the power, so he estimated that the substance that increased the lifespan was produced in the meridians, and the substance that enhanced the power of the skill was generated in the acupoints.

The recovery after consuming True Qi is that 1 unit of True Qi is automatically generated every ten minutes, and it is not automatically generated after returning to its original True Qi volume.

In this regard, Wang Gou estimated that when cultivating true qi, he was constantly changing some attributes of the whole body, and after these attributes were fixed, the body automatically generated true qi with reference to these attributes to replenish the consumed true qi.

These properties should be similar to genes, and the specific principles and mechanisms need to be slowly explored in future research.

Next, Wang Gou looked happy and excited, and made future plans in his heart.

First, learn all of the second-rate peak skills and incorporate them into his current attack methods, which are the three types of attack methods at far, medium and close range.

Second, use the second-rate peak exercises to continuously increase the amount of true qi.

The increase rate of true qi in the early stage should be fine, but in the later stage, the true qi of ordinary people runs faster, but he can't be too fast because of meridian problems, so the increase rate of true qi in the later stage should be much slower than that of ordinary people.

Therefore, it is necessary to find a suitable method to accelerate the cultivation of True Qi!

Third, start a meridian and acupoint material research plan, referred to as the acupoint research plan. The purpose is to analyze and record the properties of the substances produced by the various meridians and acupoints, and to understand the results of fusion or reaction between the substances.

The essence is like the human genome project on the earth, when he has enough data, he can theoretically develop any technique on his own!

To do this research project, it is necessary to collect as many exercises as possible in order to observe and analyze the effects of the numerous acupuncture points.
