From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 186 Daqing Martial Arts, the Sage’s Move to Catch All Living Things
This world is a feudal era, and there is no concept of the right to speak. Even the scholars themselves do not know it.

Because scholars, relying on their natural advantages, naturally obtained this extremely important power, and they were not aware of it.

It’s good not to know it!
Since they are unaware of it, we can also prevent them from knowing about the seizure of the right to speak.

What is the first step?
Of course it’s shouting slogans!
"Everyone is like a dragon?!"

Emperor Qing looked at Li Chengqian with a confused look on his face. He couldn't think of anything special about these four words.

Everyone knows that the saying "everyone is like a dragon" is bullshit. From birth, people are divided into different classes, so it is important to be born into a good family.

"Shout slogans, paint a rosy picture, and start promoting it first," Li Chengqian said. "The vision we're painting for the world is that everyone in Daqing is like a dragon. As for how to achieve this, Father, isn't that for you to perfect your own theory, and then we can spread it together."

Emperor Qing got over his initial excitement and began to calm down. He suddenly felt that his son seemed to be making big promises for him.

But there was no way, things had come to this point, his interest had been aroused, and looking at his son, although he was just making empty promises, his abilities were beyond reproach.

So he nodded reservedly, "I will think about this matter carefully. If it can really be accomplished, it will also be beneficial to my Daqing Kingdom."

"Father, this is a martial arts manual I compiled. It contains my understanding of the martial arts. Please take a look at it. If there are no problems, I will publish it throughout the world. In addition, I also plan to establish martial arts schools throughout Daqing to teach people to practice martial arts. This is the first step for everyone to become like a dragon."

"Huh?!" Emperor Qing took the thin booklet handed to him by Li Chengqian, opened the first page, and his face twitched.

"If Heaven had not given birth to me, Li Chengqian, the martial arts world would have been in darkness forever."

"I started learning martial arts at the age of eight, became a fourth-rank martial artist at the age of nine, and began to understand the true meaning of martial arts at the age of ten..."

The imposing beginning was exactly copied from the booklet he had given to the King of Chu that year. It still had the same flavor, without any change.

I endured the depression in my heart and finished reading the first page. Then the real things started to appear on the second page.

"Practicing martial arts is like sailing on a bitter sea. The body is the boat, the vital energy is the oar, and the spirit and soul are the foundation. One should seek within and apply it to the outside world. First, strengthen the boat, relax the muscles and bones, strengthen the qi and blood, expand the meridians, and locate the acupoints. Using the vital energy as a guide, one can concentrate the will, stabilize the spirit and soul, and control the heaven and earth..."

Compared to what he gave to the King of Chu last time, this time, Li Chengqian explained his understanding of martial arts in more detail, such as how to stabilize the hull, how to change muscles and bones, strengthen Qi and blood, etc. He directly pointed out the biggest drawback of martial arts in this world, that is, the body, this boat, is not stable yet. After a hundred days of foundation building, it begins to absorb and transform the essence of heaven and earth. Although it seems fast, it limits the upper limit of martial arts. Therefore, if you want to reach the highest level, before practicing Qigong, after a hundred days of foundation building, you have to further improve the body structure, and there is an additional realm, namely the body-building realm.

On the basis of building the foundation, strengthen your body from the three aspects of skin, flesh, tendons and bones, and qi and blood. When your body reaches a relatively perfect state, then practice true qi. In this way, not only the speed of practice can be greatly improved, but the upper limit will also become extremely high, especially the bottleneck of advancing to the upper three levels will almost disappear.

Emperor Qing was also a Grandmaster, possessing a profound understanding of martial arts. Otherwise, he wouldn't have achieved such great things. But even this Grandmaster, upon looking at the pamphlet Li Chengqian had brought out, quickly became absorbed in it. After a long moment, he let out a long sigh and said, "Chengqian, are you really going to spread this?" "What else?!" Li Chengqian laughed. "I'm a Martial Sage. Naturally, I must spread my martial arts philosophy and let all martial artists in the world follow the path I've set. Otherwise, how could I dare to call myself a Martial Sage? As a Sage, of course I have to teach and impart knowledge."

"Have you ever thought about the consequences of spreading this idea?"

"There won't be any consequences. It will simply mean that the future path for martial artists will be smoother, their overall strength will improve, and there will be more upper-third-grade warriors. That's all. As for the path beyond the upper-third-grade, that will naturally depend on carefully selected individuals." At this point, Li Chengqian's smile turned a bit lewd. "We say everyone is like a dragon, but we can't just talk the talk and not do anything. First, give them some sweet treats as bait. Then, we'll make the upper-third-grade martial arts an official institution. When they discover the advantages of my path and want to advance further, what do you think they'll do? Will all the heroes in the world be within my grasp?"

Emperor Qing took a deep breath, thought for a moment, and said, "You also said that the desire to become stronger is endless. There is no warrior who has achieved the ninth rank and above who doesn't want to advance further. If you can't show them a way to advance to the Grandmaster level, they may feel resentful, and hatred is inevitable. If the news gets out, the Grandmaster is still far stronger than the ordinary warrior."

"Then who told you that the path I've blazed is truly so easy to follow?! Who told you that Grandmaster is the pinnacle of martial arts? Father, don't limit yourself to your current understanding. Think more broadly and be bolder. Since I've blazed this trail, I naturally have countermeasures. Don't worry."

"You are really not a Tianmai?!"

"A person with a Heavenly Vein, haha, maybe in a few years, whoever I want to become a person with a Heavenly Vein will be able to become one?!" Li Chengqian said.

"Well, I'll wait and see!"

※※※

In the fifth year of the Qingli reign, the Dongyi returned to Qing, and the whole world was in turmoil.
Before the heat of this world began to dissipate, Prince Li Chengqian of Nanqing once again dropped a huge bomb.

[Daqing Martial Arts Classic] was widely known throughout the world. Although this martial arts classic does not contain any serious martial arts, it comprehensively expounds on the understanding of martial arts and the exploration of the path of martial arts by the self-proclaimed martial arts saint Prince Daqing, and regulated the path of martial arts in the world.

As expected, this martial arts manual created a huge wave among martial artists all over the world.

Many martial artists who were stuck in a bottleneck had their minds suddenly enlightened after reading this martial arts manual. It turned out that this was the reason why I was stuck in a bottleneck and couldn’t make any progress!
I didn’t know before that the body is so important to martial arts.

Damn it, I started practicing Qi cultivation before I even completed the 100-day foundation-building process. No wonder my meridians are so weak and I’m stuck at the third level without making any progress!
On the last three pages of the martial arts classics, there are three body-building prescriptions. None of them are precious medicinal materials, but when combined, they have miraculous effects on strengthening the body. For a while, the prices of medicinal materials in the world soared, and all the pharmacies made a lot of money. This is a story for later.

Whether it was Southern Qing or Northern Qi, countless high-ranking officials, especially those from the four major academies, as well as the civil servants in the court and countless far-sighted scholars, felt a chill in their bones as they stroked the thin booklet in their hands.

What is this going to do?
This is to spread the military throughout the world!
The Crown Prince of Nanqing really wants to follow the path of a saint and start to practice his saintly way!

They seemed to see the tide of the era belonging to warriors rolling in, and in this new era, what position should they, the scholars, take?
