This place is fun

Chapter 17 Reading
Half an hour later, when Pingting came to knock on the door, she saw Su Daoshan sitting cross-legged in the Guanxin Pavilion in the courtyard, practicing the inner Qi method.

After making sure that his martial arts progress had reached the upper level of the eighth level, Su Daoshan did not continue to test the seventh level - on the road of martial arts, no matter how big or small the level is, each level has a strict distinction.

Force is force, strength is strength.

The body was reborn, which might be considered as the realm of body forging, and it could leapfrog the ninth and eighth grades in one step. But exerting strength was another matter.

The change in strength has nothing to do with the physique. Even if the physique is ten thousand times stronger, it is impossible to rise from the level of exerting strength to the level of exerting power.

Therefore, Su Daoshan spent the rest of his time cultivating internal Qi and observing his body's Qi and blood.

For martial artists to practice, in addition to hard work, observing and mastering their own physical condition is a very important step.

Only by mastering every detail change of your body at every stage can you make corresponding adjustments and achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Otherwise, if you just keep practicing hard, it's easy to go astray.

Originally, if a warrior wanted to see inside, he could only do it by watching the inner qi flow through the meridians, just like a doctor checking the condition through the pulse. But now, Su Daoshan has found a good way.

He has activated the art of reading!

Although reading the strange arts could not directly penetrate the skin, as the internal Qi ran, Su Daoshan felt like a bat with ultrasound, as if he had an extra wonderful sensory organ. Every change in the body's Qi, blood, muscles, bones, and internal organs was clearly visible.

"It's really different! After just one night, my physique is now more than ten times stronger than before!"

"If I practiced step by step, even with spiritual millet, it would take at least several years to reach the current level of Qi, blood and physique. But the life force contained in the Dao Seed is too overbearing. It directly cleansed my bones and marrow overnight. Not only were all the impurities, disease, and cold in my body swept away, but my bones and muscle fascia became stronger and denser. More importantly, my internal organs became much stronger."

"External force originates from the tendons and bones, while internal force originates from the internal organs. If the heart and lungs are strong, the Qi and blood will be strong. The fast-moving Qi and blood are the foundation for providing energy to the muscles. The more surging the Qi and blood, the greater the explosive power of the muscles."

"If an ordinary person runs at the speed of a cheetah, even if his body and bones can bear it, his heart and lungs cannot. His engine will explode! But after I merged with the huge vitality of the Tao Seed, it is different."

"To put it bluntly, the starting point for ordinary warriors is the ninth rank. And the starting point for extraordinary warriors is directly at the peak of the eighth rank."

“This is like ascending to heaven in one step.”

"However, when I pressed it just now, I felt that I had used all my strength, but in fact, the real power I exerted was less than 50%. The reason is not only that my technique was rough and the force was not used in the right way, but the most important thing is my internal energy..."

Su Daoshan followed the method and breathed in and out. After yesterday and today's practice, combined with his own observations, he had already gained some understanding of internal Qi.

"It's amazing. If the human body is likened to a naturally aspirated engine, then the inner qi is like a turbocharger. However, in the original world, whether it is a human or an engine, the fuel is oxygen. In this world, there is also the spiritual power of heaven and earth contained in the spiritual energy."

"Once the inner Qi is activated, a continuous energy exchange network will be formed inside and outside the body. Spiritual power is constantly transformed into inner Qi, which circulates around the body, and continuously generates and stimulates Qi and blood through the meridians and acupuncture points."

"As the blood and qi become stronger, the whole person changes. The heart becomes stronger, the perception becomes sharper, the brain becomes clearer, and the breathing becomes more powerful..."

"It's a pity that my inner Qi skills are just the Haoran Zhengqi Jue. It's not a superior mental method. And I've only barely mastered it. Originally, this level was enough for the ninth-grade middle level. But because of the Dao Seed, I took a step over the physical forging barrier, and this inner Qi realm can't keep up..."

"Because of this, I can only exert half of my strength now."

"However, an unexpected gain is that after I became a scholar, I was able to read strange arts. From now on, whether I am cultivating inner energy or martial arts, it will be different from before when I was ignorant."

"It's like a closed machine. Even the most experienced technicians can't find problems by listening to the sound and external performance, as it is not as intuitive as looking inside directly."

With the help of reading the strange arts, Su Daoshan urged his inner qi to move while carefully observing and comparing. As expected, he discovered many problems that "he" had never noticed before. Some difficult points that he didn't understand were also solved.

After a big cycle, Su Daoshan clearly felt that his inner qi was running closer to the requirements of the mental method, and the effect suddenly appeared. Not only did the inner qi group grow a lot, but the qi and blood it stimulated were also more vigorous. There was a faint feeling of perfection. More importantly, some meridian acupoints that were originally inaccessible to the inner qi had already felt warm and swollen. He was only one step away from breaking through to the mastery of the Haoran Zhengqi Jue!
Feeling Pingting's voice, Su Daoshan stopped practicing and opened his eyes.

"Young Master, the time has come. It's time to pay respects to the old lady." Pingting said.

Su Daoshan agreed, got up and followed Pingting back to the courtyard, and washed himself and changed his clothes with the help of Pingting and Huamei. As soon as he finished, he saw Su Xixi walking in accompanied by the maid Yunxuan.

Today the little girl was wearing a small jacket with dark green patterns and a light pink skirt, which made her look a little brighter than usual.

As soon as she saw Su Daoshan, Su Xixi ran over to pull him. Su Daoshan and her sawed back and forth for a few times, and then she pulled him out of the door with a smile.

The rules of the aristocratic family are that they must visit their parents every morning and evening and this is an ironclad rule.

In the past, when Su Daoshan was at home, he would get up early in the morning to wash and practice martial arts. When Su Xixi came over, they would go to the old lady to pay their respects, and then go to the courtyard where his parents lived to pay their respects and have breakfast together.

"So, it's just an illusion that rich kids can sleep until they wake up naturally?" Su Daoshan walked along the sunny path with half-closed eyes, sighing in his heart that the life of this rich kid is not as comfortable as that of a fat otaku lying flat on his back!

As soon as he entered the small door between the main courtyard and the east courtyard, Su Daoshan saw from afar Xi Que, the maid beside his grandmother, looking around curiously.

As soon as they met, Pingting, Huamei and Yunxuan greeted her with a smile.

Xi Que is the head maidservant beside the old lady. She is the most trusted by the old lady, has a very high status among the maids, and is the best friend of them.

Especially the thrush, who used to live with the old lady and the magpie in the same room. The magpie taught her.

After a few jokes, Xi Que bowed to the brother and sister and said, "Second Master, Third Miss, and the old lady are in the warm room. The eldest master, the eldest mistress, the eldest lady, the second lady, and the third master are also in there."

"Oh," Su Daoshan pulled Su Xixi into the yard and asked, "Where are my father and mother?"

"The third master and the third mistress came to pay their respects to the old lady and then went back. They told you and the third young lady to pay your respects to the old lady and then go over to have breakfast."

The magpie speaks very quickly and with a clear voice, just like a real magpie.

As she spoke, she took the lead and crossed the courtyard to draw the curtains for the brother and sister in the north room. Su Daoshan pulled Su Xixi into the room, and when they turned around, they saw that everyone in the warm room turned their heads.

Sitting on the Arhat bed in the middle was an old lady with silver hair, graceful and dignified, and somewhat stern look, staring at him with a sullen face.

On the embroidered cushion in front of the old lady, on her left sat her uncle Su Xianwen, and on her right sat a middle-aged woman in a lavender dress, who was Su Xianwen’s wife, Qian.

Next to Madam Qian's bench, two young women sat side by side. The one with fair skin and elegant temperament was the eldest sister Su Wan, who was 21 years old. The one next to her with a melon-seed face and pretty appearance, who was smiling at her, was the second sister Su Yu, who was 17 years old.

There is also a silly-looking twelve-year-old boy with a confused and fierce look in his eyes. He is the third child, Su Daochun.

Su Daoshan greeted his mother first, then his uncle and Qian, and then his elder and second sisters. Finally, he frowned and glared at Su Daochun. He performed his original body's usual set of procedures smoothly and without any mistakes.

Su Xixi stood aside, looking indifferent, ignoring everyone. But everyone was not surprised.

"Xixi, come here." Su's mother waved lovingly.

Su Xixi went over and was hugged by her mother and sat in her arms.

"Yesterday your father said he would break your legs," Mother Su glanced at Su Daoshan and snorted, "How come you look fine today?"
