Who said I practiced the exercises incorrectly?

Chapter 26: Only when we are full can we have the strength for revenge
Half a month later.

Heishui Hutong, the old house of the Ning family.

After practicing for twenty-four days, Ning Yan suddenly opened his eyes, and a gleam of light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Then, the vitality that filled his eyes slowly withdrew, returning to its former depth and richness.

"Finally, I have reached the peak of my vitality."

Ning Yan clenched his fists, his body was filled with strength and his vitality was extremely strong. He felt that he could kill two fifth-in-commands with just one punch.

Ning Yan was quite satisfied with his progress in cultivation.

According to the information he had heard, if one practices the Iron Body Skill without any hindrances, it would usually take half a year to a year to achieve the peak of vitality.

However, he was practicing the "Iron Saint True Art" that he deduced by himself, and the speed of practice was three times that of the "Iron Body Art".

In addition, during the period of cultivation, the meat of alien monsters is always sufficient to satisfy one's appetite, and the vital energy refined is always so much that it overflows. If one does not make rapid progress, that would be a problem.

It's a pity that after eating and drinking a lot in the past half month, the exotic monster meat that I thought would last me a long time is almost gone, and it even includes a shadow magic elephant given by Senior Brother Zhao.

"Well, just eat it. I can't do anything about your poor digestion. At worst, I can go back to the market and stock up some more."

Ning Yan touched his muscular belly and felt a sense of happy worry.

However, in addition to the fact that the monster meat was almost gone, after reaching the peak of his vitality, he also vaguely felt the realm level that Wang Yuan, Meng Kun and others had mentioned that day.

It feels like there is a mysterious ceiling imprisoning you, and you have to break this ceiling to see the beautiful scenery at a higher level.

However, breaking through this ceiling is not an easy task. It cannot be achieved simply by accumulating energy.

In fact, after reaching the peak of vital energy, no matter how you accumulate vital energy, the total amount will not change much. The excess vital energy will leak out on its own, which is equivalent to your entire body being full.

This is the essence, no, it is the essence that overflows.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that there are no other ways to deal with it. The red-tailed sheep sold by the Zhou family can refine the vital energy very well, making the vital energy more pure and of higher quality.

This is also what many warriors will naturally choose to do after reaching the end of the Yuan Qi realm.

However, this approach still makes it difficult for them to successfully break through to the Qi Gathering stage.

For this purpose, Ning Yan specifically consulted Yuan Tianhuan.

According to Yuan Tianhuan, gathering Qi is actually the fusion of the vital energy in the body, and has little to do with whether it is pure or not. In fact, if it is too pure, it will be more difficult to fuse.

The normal way to break through the realm is to rely on constant polishing over time, constantly honing the vital energy in the body, so that their properties gradually become extremely similar and there is no difference anymore, until the first ray of fused vital energy appears, and then one naturally enters the Qi Gathering Realm.

This requires a lot of time and energy. Of course, there are examples of breakthroughs that occur due to flashes of inspiration or even coincidence, but they are ultimately a minority.

In addition, Yuan Tianhuan also mentioned that in some extremely prosperous cities and even in sects with a long history, there are actually mysterious and unpredictable methods. When practicing, let alone breaking through the Qi Gathering, even breaking through the Qi Burst, or even above the Qi Burst, there is no realm or level.

All the lower-level practices came naturally.

Unfortunately, this kind of supreme mysterious method is far beyond the reach of people in their small county, and Yuan Tianhuan has only heard of it.

However, Ning Yan did not worry too much about it. It was already very good that he could feel the realm level now.

You have to know that after some people reach the peak of vitality, it takes a long time for them to notice this shackles.

In addition, Ning Yan also believed that as long as he collected enough skills, he would be able to deduce such mysterious and wonderful skills in the future.

When Ning Yan thought of the deduction, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind.

During this period of time, I was busy practicing all day long, and naturally I neglected the study of techniques.

Now think about it, he has already mastered the three martial arts of Fang Bei Hand, Ben Lei Palm and Jin Yu Finger, and has also done some research on the Chen family's Po Song Finger.

However, these four martial arts are all hand skills, so is it possible to integrate them into one and deduce stronger martial arts?

This is certainly possible.

Ning Yan's brain started working rapidly.

With his extraordinary understanding and sudden inspiration, a new set of martial arts quickly evolved in his mind until it was completely formed.

This new martial art also involves the use of hands, combining both palm and finger techniques. Its moves are swift, strange and varied, and its power is extremely strong.

However, all of this is still in the stage of deductive prediction for the time being.

Ning Yan couldn't wait to go into the inner room and move out a thick iron heart wood.

He had bought this iron heart wood from a few poor woodcutters who had left it on the roadside but could not sell it. Now he could use it to test the new martial arts he had deduced.

Ning Yan placed the iron heart wood in the backyard, stuck it into the ground, and began the experiment.

He gathered his energy in both hands and began practicing his moves towards the iron wood.

Dull vibrations and sharp whistles were heard from time to time, and dark wood chips kept bursting out, fluttering down like rain.

Soon, looking at the crumbling tree trunk full of dents and deep holes, a feeling of joy arose in Ning Yan's heart.

According to specific tests, any of his palms could leave a three-inch palm print. You should know that after Meng Kun broke through the Qi Gathering stage that day, he could only leave a two and a half inch palm print.

As for the finger hole, it is even deeper.

Under the erosion of vital energy, it was almost piercing through the entire iron heart wood.

This means that ordinary black iron inner armor cannot block his attack.

"Since your hands are as soft as jade when you wield the skill, and its killing power is so strong, I will call it the Jade Palm."

In addition to the ordinary moves of "Jade Palm", Ning Yan also referred to the "Ten Thousand Thunders" of "Benlei Palm" and developed two new killing moves.

One of them can instantly send out the body's vitality, causing extremely terrifying destructive power. It's a pity that the iron heart wood is already too broken to be used for experiments. Ning Yan named this move [Rather Die with Jade].

The second is to turn the fingers into sharp weapons, which are harder than black iron. A slight scratch can remove a person's head. Ning Yan named this move [Finger Cutting Yin and Yang].

With these two killer moves, even if he encounters an opponent in the Qi Condensation Realm, as long as they have not reached the peak, Ning Yan can make them never return.

However, while he was delighted and excited, Ning Yan also understood that although the "Jade Palm" was powerful, it was not top-notch after all.

Whether it is finger techniques or palm techniques, there is still a big gap compared with boxing techniques or even leg techniques.

I don’t know whether Xiao Yuanmen has any martial arts skills such as boxing and kicking.

Ning Yan didn't delay any longer and decided to go ask his master and fellow brothers.

……

Xiaoyuan Gate, outer courtyard, under the shade of trees.

Many big men took the opportunity to rest and gathered together to chat:
"Have you heard? The Chen family and the Zhou family have been fighting fiercely recently."

"Anyone who is well-informed should know something, right? I heard that the Chen family's Donglai shop was smashed."

"Not only that, the Chen family's two large warehouses in Pingkangfang suddenly caught fire last night, and the fire lit up half the sky red. It was said that there were a lot of medicinal herbs stored inside, but now they are all gone!"

"Alas, this struggle is no longer limited to these two families. Take the Sun family on our street. They were originally vassals of the Zhou family, but later saw that the Chen family was strong and switched sides. As a result, the only two men in their family were killed in a gambling house two days ago, and the murderer has not been found yet."

"Why do I feel a little strange when I hear you say that? The Chen family has become extremely powerful in the past two years, and there are two violent people in the family. Why is it that now there are news about the Chen family suffering a disaster everywhere, while the Zhou family seems to have suffered no losses?"

"It's very simple, because the Zhou family has made preparations in advance. They have sold all their shops and properties that can be sold, and even sold several beast farms. Even if the Chen family wants to retaliate, they can't."

"In fact, the situation in the city is not that bad. The two families' Mi Tian teams outside the city are killing fiercely. The Zhou family's Mi Tian team is fully armed and they went crazy when they saw the Chen family's warriors. After several bloody battles, many people died on both sides.

I heard that the team that the Chen family had just formed was completely defeated, and all the members were either dead or missing."

"There are several warriors from our Xiaoyuan Sect in that team. Isn't he afraid of offending our Xiaoyuan Sect?"

"The Zhou family has gone crazy, why would they care so much? You should stay out less recently."

"Hey, look, is that Senior Brother Ning coming over there?"

"Brother Ning? That's great. I just happen to have a few questions to ask you!"

"Senior Brother Ning, wait a moment!"

……

After finally teaching the enthusiastic and studious men, Ning Yan walked straight into the inner courtyard.

Looking around, in addition to some prospective warriors, there were also some unfamiliar warriors who were also practicing here.

"It seems that more warriors have returned to the courtyard to practice recently."

"Could it be that everyone finds the outside world too noisy and wants to come back and calm down?"

Ning Yan was just thinking about it when he caught a glimpse of Zhao Ming, whose face was beaming, in the courtyard.

After being in bed for a while to recover from his injuries, he seemed to be fatter than before, and his small eyes were almost invisible. When Zhao Ming saw him, he waved and said:
"Brother Ning, come here quickly. I just got some good meat. Don't say I didn't miss you."

When he came closer, Zhao Ming took out a piece of black and red dried meat from the bag and handed it to him.

Zhu Kexin next to him was eating happily with a smacking mouth.

Ning Yan pinched the dried meat and found a thumb-sized brown mark inside. He said curiously:

"What kind of meat is this? Why have I never seen it before?"

"Rat meat."

Zhao Ming replied very calmly.

Zhu Kexin froze immediately.

He looked at Zhao Ming and said in disbelief:

"This, this is rat meat?"

"Yes, what's the problem?" Zhao Ming asked curiously, "Don't you enjoy the food?"

Zhu Kexin's face was filled with grief and indignation:
"You didn't say it was rat meat!"

"Then you didn't even ask."

"vomit……"

"Brother Zhu, this is a brown-spotted rat! It's such a waste! Why don't you swallow it back?"

Zhu Kexin waved his hands wildly and ran away.

Ning Yan swallowed the dried meat, and it felt like a ball of fire entered his stomach, and soon he was sweating all over.

He said with surprise:

"Can this meat remove impurities from the body?"

“That’s why I said it’s a good thing!”

Seeing Ning Yan's reaction, Zhao Ming immediately recovered from Zhu Kexin's blow and said excitedly:

“This is the brown-spotted rat that the Zhou family has successfully raised recently. Because they were short of money, they sold the farm and the breeding method to my family.

Now, in addition to the Shadow Demon Pattern Elephants, my family also has a new brown-spotted rat.

Even if I fail to master martial arts in the future, the inheritance will be enough for me to live a carefree life."

Zhao Ming laughed and seemed extremely happy.

Ning Yan listened and couldn't help but feel envious.

But on second thought, as long as he could achieve violent energy, one or two beast fields would not be a big deal.

Previously, the Chen family invited Master Yuan for help, but Master Yuan didn’t even show up and directly got half of the share of the Beast Field.

This shows the status of the violent and powerful.

But anger is not something that can be achieved simply by talking about it.

Looking at the entire Qingcang County, there are probably only a handful of powerful and violent people.

Now it would probably take him a long time just to break through the level of gathering energy, let alone breaking through the level of bursting energy.

Ning Yan suppressed his thoughts and thought about the purpose of this trip. He couldn't help but ask:
"Brother Zhao, I want to ask you something. In addition to the Thunder Palm, does our Xiaoyuan Sect have other martial arts? For example, boxing and kicking techniques?"

Zhao Ming chewed the dried meat and said in surprise:

"Do you want to learn other martial arts?"

As he spoke, he seemed to have found the answer and muttered to himself:
"That's right. You have such a high level of comprehension and have already mastered the Thunder Palm. Naturally, you want to learn something else."

“In fact, our Xiaoyuan Sect is not short of martial arts, such as the Iron Sand Palm, Eagle Claw, and Mandarin Duck Legs that we teach our apprentices.

But these martial arts are, at best, only slightly better than the messy techniques and moves on the market.

It is far inferior to the secret technique like "Thunder Palm".

Generally speaking, even if one reaches the peak of Qi Gathering, one cannot say that one has completely mastered the "Thunder Palm".

Therefore, it is enough to practice this set in daily life. It is not a good thing to be general but not specialized.

Of course, our master definitely knows more than just the “Thunder Palm”. For example, he also masters the even more powerful “Soul-Sacrificing Skill”.

But the "Self-Sacrifice Skill" requires entering the Qi Gathering Stage before you can start learning it, and you and I are still far behind now."

Ning Yan listened and felt a little disappointed, but also a little expectant.

Since the "Soul-Sacrificing Skill" can only be learned after one has gathered Qi, doesn't it mean that as long as he has a breakthrough, he can start learning it right away?
At this time, Zhao Ming seemed to remember something and continued:

"In fact, Master Yuan has an even more powerful boxing technique called the Kunyun Boxing. However, the training requirements for this boxing technique are extremely harsh. As far as I know, only the eldest brother who went out early to explore the world has successfully mastered this boxing technique. The rest of the brothers can't even meet the entry requirements."

Zhao Ming looked him up and down and said:

"But with your talent, even the senior brother can't compare to you. Maybe after a while, Master will let you try to practice."

"Kun Yun Fist"?
Ning Yan felt that the name sounded very familiar.

This was the method that was stolen along with the "Yuan Sheng Zhen Fa".

Since it was chosen by the traitor, it means that its importance is no less than that of "Yuan Sheng Zhen Fa".

If I had the opportunity to practice this martial art, it would be great!

"If you want to learn martial arts, that's easy. Just go to the black market and buy them! Not to mention martial arts, you can even find a lot of techniques there."

Zhu Kexin, looking pale, staggered out of the house.

He rummaged through his pocket, pulled out a red token and threw it to Ning Yan.

The token is long and only the size of a palm. It is very heavy in the hand and is obviously made of some special metal.

There is an ancient palace printed on the front, and eight large characters are engraved on the back:

【All the laws in the world come from my school】

It's really domineering.

"This is the Red Gold Token of the Wanfa Pavilion. With this token, you can not only purchase many high-level skills, but also enjoy many discounts. You can use it first."

Ning Yan was holding the token, filled with joy. Just as he was about to express his gratitude, Zhu Kexin suddenly caught a glimpse of the half-eaten piece of jerky in Zhao Ming's hand. His face immediately changed and he rushed into the house again.

……

Zhou family, underground prison.

The light of the torches illuminated the long and narrow corridor.

There was a faint smell of blood and stench in the air.

Zhou Shengcai, however, acted as if he didn't smell it and walked forward calmly.

Behind him, several guards were escorting the seriously injured warriors with expressionless faces.

Among them was Wang Yuan, whom Ning Yan was familiar with.

At this moment, all of his limbs were broken and he couldn't even stand.

Soon, they came to a huge deep cave.

The entrance to the cave was covered with a lattice-like iron fence made of extremely hard Nether Iron.

Through the gaps in the fence, you can't see the bottom of the inside.

A thick stench rolled out, as if a horrible beast was imprisoned.

Zhou Shengcai stretched out his hand to open the iron fence and shouted inside:
"Uncle, it's time to eat."

The guards around skillfully threw all the warriors that Tuo had brought in.

Sharp screams and angry shouts immediately rang out from inside.

But soon, all the noise disappeared, leaving only the crunching sound of chewing, echoing monotonously.

Listening to the noise coming from inside, Zhou Shengcai stood by the cave and murmured:
"Uncle, eat well. Only when we are full can we have the strength to take revenge."
