Chapter 148: The method of stealing the secrets of heaven
Night falls and the lights go out.

The dormitory was dark, with only faint moonlight shining through the window.

Everything around was immersed in the hazy night.

Fang Cheng sat quietly with his eyes closed, breathing slowly and steadily.

Along with this feeling of tranquility and loneliness, thoughts seem to be floating in the darkness.

Suddenly, there were some noises coming from next door, breaking the contemplative silence.

Fang Cheng opened his bright eyes and whispered to himself:

"It still doesn't work..."

Then he lowered his head and glanced at the mobile phone beside him.

The time displayed is only 7:06.

In other words, the meditation just now lasted only a little over half an hour.

Thinking of this, Fang Cheng couldn't help but shake his head secretly, then stretched his legs out of bed and walked to the window.

There was fog outside, and it seemed even thicker than in the past few days.

The shadows of the surrounding trees were looming in the mist, as if the entire training camp base had entered a mysterious dream.

The small town at the foot of the mountain and the sea in the distance merged into the gray fog and could not be seen clearly at all.

Fang Cheng stood in front of the window and looked at the scenery for a while.

After relaxing his mind, he immediately sat cross-legged on the bed again, ready to meditate again.

After Pan Wendi left, the room became empty.

Although living alone is a bit lonely, it also has many advantages.

You can move freely and do things much more conveniently.

After finishing the meditation class and having dinner today, Fang Cheng immediately returned to the dormitory.

First practice air strikes to increase your experience in several fighting skills.

Next, we will try to achieve new breakthroughs in the long-awaited field of "Qigong".

After arriving at Yong'an Island to participate in a meditation trip, the two skills of "meditation" and "breathing method" were successfully unlocked one after another, and the standing meditation was also promoted to expert level.

Fang Cheng then wondered if he could use this momentum to flexibly apply these three skills and truly master Qigong.

According to Ma Jianguo, qigong mainly includes standing meditation, breathing techniques, visualization methods, and some fighting techniques suitable for exerting one's power.

Fighting skills are just ways of fighting, which are minor details and there are no rigid moves.

What's more, Fang Cheng has made great achievements in this area and claims that he is no inferior to most fighting athletes and martial arts masters.

As for visualization, it is essentially a type of meditation and there is not much difference between the two.

Therefore, Fang Cheng has now basically mastered the prerequisites for getting started with Qigong.

The same is true.

He not only learned how to use breathing techniques to resist external pressure, protect organs from harm, but also improve internal breathing efficiency.

Moreover, the heat flow in the abdomen is gradually growing stronger, the qi sensation is beginning to become clearer, and can even be used to speed up the recovery of muscle fatigue.

It can be said that in the field of Qigong, Fang Cheng has already gained some basic knowledge and has acquired some skills.

However, this is not enough!
Because in addition to pursuing the effects of health preservation and longevity, Qigong pays more attention to developing human potential and improving combat capabilities.

This is the martial arts philosophy that Ma Jianguo adheres to.

By combining health-preserving methods with exercise methods, we can constantly break through the limits of human life and achieve the common transformation of body and spirit, which will be enough to deal with those "monsters" with special abilities.

Through the experience gained from actual practice, Fang Cheng found a seemingly feasible solution.

Sitting in meditation is to use the mind to actively regulate the physical and mental state, and to make improvements from the spiritual level to the physiological function.

The breathing method is also called the guiding technique by ancient doctors and practitioners, and is the source of power for qigong.

Then, the two can be combined. Fang Cheng's plan is to practice breathing while practicing meditation, guiding the heat flow in the abdomen to reach the designated location at will.

After all, Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound is a method of whole-body resonance, so it is difficult to work on specific parts.

If all the heat from the abdomen could be directed to a certain organ or muscle or bone, the effect would be more significant.

Not to mention recreating the scenes in film and television dramas where internal energy is used to heal injuries.

After reaching a proficient level, you may be able to break away from the meditative state and use this method in combat.

For example, attaching "Qi" to the palms and weapons can achieve an effect similar to "Blade Storm".

However, ideals are very full, but reality is very skinny.

Fang Cheng tried twice, but failed both times.

When I first started guiding it, the heat current lingering in the bottom of my abdomen did move slightly, just like when I was performing the Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound.

Then, following the direction of thoughts, there are signs of flowing outwards.

But as soon as you leave that tiny area deep in the abdomen, you will instantly be trapped.

Just like a small boat stuck in the mud, it can no longer move freely as before.

This stalemate process will continue to feed back to consciousness.

This caused Fang Cheng's mind to waver, making it difficult for him to maintain a calm state.

At the same time, the heat flow vibrated more violently due to this slight fluctuation and disappeared in an instant.

While I was thinking, there was another noise in the corridor, and someone was walking past the door talking and laughing.

Ever since the travelers from the town checked into the training camp, this usually quiet building has become much more lively.

Fang Cheng felt that the reason for his failure was not because the environment was not quiet enough.

It’s more because the heat flow in the abdomen is too weak and the qi sensation is still not clear enough.

The solution to this problem is to practice hard and eat more food.

Especially the importance of dietary supplements, which is absolutely ranked first.

According to Ma Jianguo, there is an innate vital energy, or life energy, within the human body.

This is an innate talent. Everyone has different physiques, so the amount of talent they possess varies.

And as we age, it will gradually decrease until it is completely consumed, which is the end of life.

The essence of Qigong practice is to cultivate this innate vital energy and try to reverse this process.

Through acquired dietary supplements and cultivation methods, part of the food energy consumed can be converted into innate life energy.

However, as creatures in nature, humans are bound to have a limit to the amount of life energy they can store.

Relatively speaking, the healthier a person is, the higher his physical strength is, and the more energy he can store.

Fang Cheng's current physical fitness is as high as 36 points, but the life energy he possesses cannot match it.

It is equivalent to a large container, but the things stored inside only take up a small half of the space, making it appear empty.

This situation is actually very normal.

After all, it only took Fang Cheng two months to improve his physical fitness from less than 10 points of an ordinary person to more than 30 points. His progress can be described as rapid.

It is obviously impossible to replenish the innate vitality through food in such a short period of time.

What's more, there doesn't seem to be any natural treasures, panaceas or the like in this world.

Otherwise, those masters in the martial arts research association would not just use qigong to perform acrobatics and magic tricks.

Fang Cheng once asked Mr. Ma.

If I practice step by step like this, do I have to wait until I am several decades old before I can hope to master qigong?
In this way, apart from being able to maintain health and prolong life, it has no practical significance, let alone the ability to fight against those monsters.

But Mr. Ma smiled mysteriously and gave a legendary method.

It's about stealing the secrets!
