Misty Rain of the Old Times

Chapter 113 It’s a matter of course
You can't become fat in one bite, so Chen Xuan temporarily suppressed the idea of ​​trying some martial arts and calmed down to continue practicing Ze Yuan Jue to increase his internal strength.

There are so many martial arts in the head, and they can't escape. Internal strength is the key. As long as the internal strength is strong, even a turtle punch can produce terrifying power. Moreover, if the meridians are not opened, no matter how powerful the martial arts are, they cannot be used.

In the quiet room, Chen Xuan devoted himself to practicing. Every time he practiced the Ze Yuan Jue, his internal strength would increase by one point. He made rapid progress, but the accumulation of several years was also being consumed rapidly.

In fact, the cultivation of internal force is a bit addictive. Every time the internal force is circulated, it travels through the body, and one can seem to clearly feel the growth of physical fitness. This feeling is much more obvious than practicing meditation and health-preserving exercises. Moreover, this is only a side effect of circulating internal force, not a special practice of body-tempering martial arts, so much so that Chen Xuan does not want to stop.

Although his internal strength was constantly improving, he also kept in mind the advice that too much is as bad as too little, so he stopped practicing after one or two hours. He felt his body was bloated and warm, which was very comfortable. That was the most intuitive manifestation of his improved physical condition.

After I stood up, I didn't feel stiff or numb. Instead, I felt refreshed and relaxed. I stretched a little, and a crackling sound like frying beans came from my body.

Cool.

Chen Xuan was secretly happy, and soon he discovered that after his internal strength was improved, even his senses became much sharper, his ears and eyes were sharper, and the originally dim quiet room became exceptionally clear, and he could even see the dust particles floating in the air.

Feeling the internal force constantly flowing through his body, Chen Xuan didn't know what level he was at. He definitely couldn't catch up with people like Geng Hong who had practiced for many years. In terms of level, he was probably not as good as Xiao Ye and Xiao Cai who had practiced for a few years. After all, no matter how talented he was, how long had he only been practicing?

There is no such thing as an amount of internal force here, there are only differences in quality, thickness and nature.

After possessing internal strength, Chen Xuan had an intuitive feeling, that is, this thing can be clearly felt, but it cannot be seen or touched, but it really exists, has no specific form, is in the body, is a part of itself, and can be driven by consciousness.

Anyway, it doesn't give people a strange feeling that there is suddenly something extra in itself, it is very natural.

Because internal force has no specific form, if Chen Xuan had to describe it at this moment, his internal force would be about as thick as an adult's thumb, right?
Actually, this description is not accurate, it is just a sensory illusion. Otherwise, who can bear to have such a thick thing stirring around inside their body...

After a moment of hesitation, Chen Xuan dispersed his internal energy into his limbs and bones, making it quiet so that no one could detect it, as if he had no internal energy at all.

It's not that he doesn't trust Mr. Yushan, nor is he trying to hide his incompetence and act like a bitch, but he himself understands that his progress is really shocking, so it's better to be a little low-key, which will make it easier for people to accept.

You should know that Mr. Yushan said that when it comes to cultivating internal strength, the progress is different due to personal talent. For the same technique, some people may take one or two years to get started and learn the first bit of internal strength. Such people are considered to have ordinary qualifications, while those with worse qualifications may take several years or even ten years.

Those with good talent only need a few months. If they can learn internal strength in one or two months, they are considered to have superior talent, and if it takes less than a month, they can be considered a genius.

Of course, this also depends on the technique and whether or not one has a famous teacher to guide them.

But Chen Xuan had internal strength just after practicing. After two hours, his internal strength was quite impressive. He could no longer be described as a genius. It was too exaggerated. He might as well keep a low profile.

Don't think that I have lived an ordinary life in the Gao family these years. In fact, there are many people with vicious minds in this world. They are just filtered out by the halo of the Gao family. If people knew about my situation, many people would probably want to strangle me in the cradle out of jealousy. There are many such people who can't stand seeing others do well.

Not everyone has the broad-mindedness of a gentleman.

After walking out of the quiet room, Gao Jingming and the others on the other side had not come out yet, so Chen Xuan simply sat under the eaves and waited, watching the swaying trees, the moving clouds and listening to the sound of the wind.

By the way, think about the next plan in your head.

Now that I have internal strength, the next main thing is to accumulate internal strength, then gradually open up the meridians, and then practice some martial arts to defend myself against enemies.

Recalling the martial arts that Liu Changhe had given him, Chen Xuan quickly made a plan. Qinggong was a must-learn skill, which was essential for escaping and saving his life. Secondly, considering his physical condition, he was not suitable for some large-scale martial arts, so technical martial arts were necessary. He should also practice hidden weapons, which would be very useful at critical moments. He should also choose a weapon, but it had to be short and exquisite, otherwise it would be inconvenient to use.

As a result, he quickly made up his mind to master a light skill, a hand skill of acupoint pressing and grappling, a palm technique, as well as hidden weapons and short-range martial arts using a fan as a weapon within a year or two.

That's five skills in total, which seems a bit too much, but considering one's own talent, it shouldn't be a big problem, especially if one spends a lot of time on cultural studies every day.

Chen Xuan also has his own ideas about using a fan as a weapon in martial arts. Firstly, it is small in size and easy to use. Secondly, it looks cool. Moreover, some of the moves of this thing can also be performed with a brush, which is convenient to carry.

Furthermore, it can also be extended to the future. With this premise, it will be easy to practice sword, stick and gun techniques in the future.

Anyway, for Chen Xuan, if conditions permit, he will practice more martial arts. It never hurts to have more skills. Although specialization is important, having more skills can help him deal with more situations.

He had actually considered whether it was possible to cultivate fundamental internal skills that improved his cultivation simultaneously. He was envious of the toxin-removing and anti-toxic properties of Qingyuan Liuyun Gong, but he was still just starting out, so he decided not to aim too high. He should first master Zeyuan Gong and then think about it later. Mr. Yushan had said that there were people who practiced different fundamental skills simultaneously, but a person's energy was limited, and trying to do too much wasn't a good idea. Trying to practice all of them would ultimately result in poor mastery of any of them.

If you are a genius, that's a different story.

While he was thinking about these things, after a while, Mr. Yushan also took Gao Jingming out of the meditation room.

Gao Jingming looked dejected, obviously he had not cultivated his internal strength and was not some peerless genius who had mastered the art in one day. Mr. Yushan looked calm, thinking that this was a normal situation and kept comforting and encouraging his disciple.

"A Xuan, how are you? Have you developed your internal strength?" Gao Jingming quickly shifted his attention to Chen Xuan.

Mr. Yushan also looked over. He knew something about Chen Xuan's talent. He looked him up and down and immediately had an idea in his mind. With his vision and cultivation level, he could naturally see that Chen Xuan had no internal force. He was inexplicably relieved. If he could cultivate internal force all at once, it would be too monstrous. You must know that Jiang Yuan, the youngest martial arts master in Jing Kingdom in the past hundred years, took five days to cultivate the first strand of internal force.

Chen Xuan shook his head and said, "Not yet. It's not that simple. The teacher also said that this is not something that can be achieved overnight. It needs to be done step by step."

Mr. Yushan nodded secretly. It was a good mentality not to be discouraged. It was much better than having this silly apprentice of his.

"Haha, you haven't practiced it either, neither have I." Gao Jingming was immediately happy. He probably found balance in his heart and was a little heartless. Besides, children have simple minds and didn't care at all what kind of martial arts Chen Xuan practiced.

Mr. Yushan said with a smile, "Okay, today is only the first day. It's normal not to make any progress. Don't be anxious. Just keep a normal mind. Go and have fun. Don't forget to study. Summarize everything afterwards and continue tomorrow."

Gao Jingming immediately said, "Come on, Xuan, let's go down the mountain and take Geng Hong and the others to the Yushui River for a boat ride and a bath. It would be a shame not to swim a few laps in this weather."

The school was on vacation and entry and exit were not prohibited. Mr. Yushan did not care about this. At this age, it was time for them to play. With the Gao family's guards watching over them, their safety was guaranteed.

It's just that his own disciple is a little bit eccentric and doesn't look like a scholar. Seeing him and Chen Xuan arm in arm, he shook his head secretly. But he is only like this with people close to him. He still has to maintain some image with strangers, so he lets him be.

For the next period of time, Chen Xuan and his companions would go up the mountain every day to the quiet room in the courtyard to practice internal skills. Gao Jingming's progress was very slow, but he persisted with the repeated encouragement of Mr. Yushan.

Originally, he could have taken pills to improve his efficiency, but Mr. Yushan did not do so and would have forced things to happen.

A month later, Chen Xuan felt that the time was right, so he sank 99.9% of his internal energy into his body, leaving only a trace, to prove that he had cultivated internal energy. He received praise from Mr. Yushan, who encouraged him to be humble and not to be arrogant.

His performance was not mediocre, but he could not be called a peerless genius either. His talent was top-notch and within a certain acceptable range, so Mr. Yushan was not surprised.

Gao Jingming was envious but not jealous of Chen Xuan for having developed internal strength earlier than him. Instead, he was happy for him. "Brother Du Jier, what's there to be jealous of?"

Perhaps it was because of the stimulation from Chen Xuan that Gao Jingming made great efforts to catch up. After about two months, he finally cultivated his internal strength. He was so happy that he danced in his sleep.

His talent is already top-notch and really good. He is not a genius, but far superior to ordinary people. Looking around the martial arts world, he is a good seedling selected from thousands of sects.

At this time, Chen Xuan's internal strength was already as thick as his wrist, and his internal strength training was improving by leaps and bounds.

But later on, the speed slowed down, and the accumulation of several years was finally exhausted.

However, this slowness is only relative to himself. His progress is still amazing. His internal strength is growing "visibly" every day. With this kind of internal strength, he doesn't need to deliberately open up the meridians. Some meridians will be unblocked by themselves under the operation of internal strength.

It's just like a natural outcome, and it's fully reflected in him.

In addition to cultivating his internal strength, Chen Xuan also began to practice martial arts. The first one was of course the light skill, which was called Qingyun Feixu. The introduction said that when one cultivated to a certain level, his movements would be as elusive as blue clouds, making people unpredictable. Moreover, his body would be like flying catkins, so flying on grass and floating on water would be a piece of cake for him, and even moving on treetops would be a piece of cake.

If one's own cultivation reaches the innate level and performs this light skill, one can move in the void with the help of true energy, and have a certain degree of air retention before the power is used up. It has unparalleled practicality whether one is traveling or escaping.

After they developed internal strength, Mr. Yushan advised them to practice persistently, still focusing on their studies. Once their internal strength accumulated to a certain level, he would teach them martial arts to defend themselves against enemies.

The vacation was almost over at this time. After nearly two months in Yushan, he asked the two of them to go home first and come back when school started. He also sternly warned them that although they had cultivated internal strength, they could not be brave and aggressive in school, otherwise he would punish them severely!
