The years when I explored the fairyland.

Chapter 30: Believe it or not?
In the warrior realm, there are four levels of 'tendons, flesh, skin and bones', which focus on body training, warming with qi and blood, and consuming with strength. Between warming and nourishing, the body will become stronger and stronger.

Anyone who has mastered the martial arts training can create a strong body that has a strength of a thousand pounds and can wear heavy armor.

Of course, although this method of practice can strengthen the body and make the body stronger, it will not increase lifespan.

Even if there are too many battles, hidden injuries will accumulate and shorten one's lifespan.

In this situation, the only way to make up for it is to become a martial artist.

There are only two levels for martial artists, corresponding to the Organ Training Level and Meridian Opening Level respectively.

Those who practice internal organ training are honed from the realm of warriors, and have fine control over their qi, blood, and strength, and through their breathing they shake and cleanse their internal organs.

Its greatest effect is to make up for hidden injuries, repair body damage and increase lifespan.

Under normal circumstances, if one can maintain his condition and live to be 120 years old, that is considered an advanced age.

In addition, as your internal organs become stronger, your physical strength will become longer-lasting, your recovery ability will be greatly increased, and you will not be afraid of a protracted battle!

In addition, the five senses become more acute, making it easier to capture the enemy's movements when fighting, and the reaction and speed will be brought to another level.

The above alone are a qualitative gap, which determines that a warrior has almost no chance of winning against a martial artist.

Just like Scar Swordsman and Mad Tiger Man, they only had the desire to fight after they were sure that Chu Zhou had achieved the so-called perfection in bone training.

It’s also because if Chu Zhou has already practiced dirty tricks, they can just surrender and there is no need to take action.

However, no matter how strong a martial artist is, he will be unable to compete with a martial artist at the Tongmai realm.

The meridians and acupoints in the human body are complex and intricate, but except for a few of them, the rest are congenitally open.

Those that are blocked are already dead.

The so-called "opening the meridians" does not actually require to dredge the meridian acupoints, but to expand the width of the meridians, enhance the toughness of the meridians, and thus improve their carrying capacity.

As for how to open up the meridians?

In fact, it is simple. You just need to have a corresponding complete set of internal skills and practice them successfully to complete the small cycle of Zhoutian.

In fact, the higher the level of martial arts, the greater the gap in strength.

The reason why Wei Jinkui tried every means to send his son to the sect was for the sake of this advanced martial arts technique.

In fact, even if one joins a sect, one may not necessarily be able to learn the unique skills.

Without sufficient status and contributions, how could it be so easy to obtain those powerful martial arts?
Chu Zhou actually understood all of the above, so even though he gained a lot this time, he still believed that "Vajra Leg" was the best.

Well, actually, he was also confused. Why did he have to master a martial arts technique when he knew that he could not master martial arts?
This is true for Taoist Xuanzhen and Taoist Paolao as well!

Perhaps, this proves the saying that what you can't get is the most precious!

Because Xuanzhen Temple was undergoing a major renovation, it was not suitable for either rest or martial arts training, so Chu Zhou took his three fellow apprentices and ran some distance to the back mountain.

The Dulong Mountains stretch for tens of thousands of miles. Xuanzhen Temple is located at the foot of a small mountain that is considered an entrance. Further inland, there is a mountain called Songfeng Mountain.

Songfeng Mountain is also not big, but is famous for its many pine and cypress trees. There is a thatched house at the foot of the mountain with a desk in front of it.

The four Chu Zhou brothers stayed here temporarily, and the food was prepared and delivered from the foot of the mountain.

At this moment, Yi Huai and Fan Tiehu were already practicing martial arts. One of them swallowed a powerful medicine and used the Seven Moves of the Swimming Dragon to temper his muscles, bones and skin. The whole person was like a swimming dragon, galloping endlessly.

One of them was standing in the Angry Dragon Posture, seemingly calm, but in fact his blood and energy were surging inside, and he was trying hard to pursue the feeling of control and concentration.

It must be said that after a great battle, everyone gained something and made great progress, both in their character and in martial arts.

Well, I can’t say that about all of them. For example, Xu Cheng can’t practice martial arts because of an arm injury.

Now, he was sitting aside, flipping through a nearly bulky medical book, the name of which was "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases"!
To be honest, Chu Zhou has also tried to study medicine. It is said that medicine and martial arts are inseparable, and learning more will always be beneficial.

But what about practicality?

He knew all those words, but he couldn't understand their meaning when they were connected together, let alone connecting them with the context. He had to apply them in practice and draw inferences about other situations.

After trying for a while, Chu Zhou gave up.

Then, he looked at Xu Cheng again and thought that this boy was also quite amazing.

He not only read such a thick medical book, but he was able to read it all the way through, and he did so with great interest.

On the other side of the long table, Chu Zhou was also flipping through the newly acquired secret book.

"Five Ghosts Moving Things" had been thrown aside long ago. There was no training method or standing practice for "Crescent Sword", so there was no need to read it now. Chu Zhou was reading "Tiger Fist" and "Vajra Kick" at this moment.

The part about training the internal organs and opening up the meridians is not his main focus, he just touched on it briefly and let it go. If you haven't reached that level, it's useless to read too much.

Instead, the training method, especially the content related to "tendons, muscles, skin and bones", is the part he focuses on.

The Seven Swimming Dragon Styles seemed perfect, but they were only perfect in the general direction. Chu Zhou always felt that if he wanted to involve more muscles and bones in more details, he would have to learn from more secret manuals.

What he is doing now is to extract the essence from these two works and integrate them into the Seven Styles of Wandering Dragon.

This job is difficult, but also easy for Chu Zhou. That’s how he learned the Seven Swimming Dragon Styles.

Of course, the one who gained the most from this battle actually had to be Chu Zhou.

This was the first time he had fought with all his courage. Killing, attacking, fighting with ghosts, and taking lives were too many firsts for him, so naturally he reaped a lot of rewards.

Especially after activating the Dominant Body State, Chu Zhou vaguely felt the limit of the Body Tempering Realm.

Yes, with the four stages of 'tendons, flesh, skin and bones' progressing simultaneously, Chu Zhou's body tempering is far beyond that of ordinary warriors, more thorough, and has a higher upper limit.

But even if the upper limit is higher, there is still a limit. After the four phases of perfection were fully opened this time, he clearly felt the limit. Well, to be precise, it is not a limit, but a restriction.

And what limits the upper limit of physical strength is not anything else, but the internal organs!

At first, Chu Zhou didn’t quite understand it, but then he suddenly understood.

The human body is a big cycle and a whole. The strengthening of muscles, skin and bones is a part of it. When it reaches a certain level, it creates pressure and burden on the internal organs, thereby limiting the height of growth.

After figuring this out, Chu Zhou has already understood that the so-called perfect body tempering is the limit that a person's internal organs can endure. At this point, it is enough!
Later, it is time to put the internal organs training on the agenda, using breathing, qi, blood and strength to continuously strengthen the internal organs. Naturally, the physical limit will also be raised.

Of course, this step does not mean that the body tempering is over.

In fact, successful training of the internal organs is the guarantee for subsequent body tempering and the beginning of further improvement of the physique.

In terms of martial arts, no matter what stage you reach, things like marrow cleansing and blood exchange, internal force and true essence, these may be indispensable, but the only thing that runs through it all is the martial arts physique.

And the physique involves body tempering!
Therefore, tempering the body may be an indispensable part of any realm of martial arts.

After this realization, Chu Zhou felt that he seemed to be much clearer and had a more thorough understanding of the path of martial arts.

……

A few days later,

The gate of Baisha City.

Ta-ta-ta-ta!

The sound of horse hooves rang out, and Wei Jinkui and Wei Fangjie, father and son, had arrived at the city gate. They looked up and saw the slightly dilapidated city gate tower, and they actually felt a strange sense of familiarity.

It is said that people are strangers in a foreign land, and only in this familiar hometown can they relax.

However, before Wei Jinkui could finish this thought, he saw the soldier guarding the gate looking straight at him.

"Master Wei Wu, is Master Wei Wu back?"

The first one, a gatekeeper who looked quite old, asked, "Is Master Wei Wu here in person?"

Wei Jinkui lowered his head slightly, looked down at him for several times, and then said, "Do we know each other?"

The gatekeeper grinned, showing his yellow teeth, and said with a flattering look: "Master Wei Wu naturally doesn't know me, but we who guard the city gate all know you!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand and a soldier came forward. The old official just gave him a look, and he put down the spear in his hand and immediately ran into the city.

Wei Jinkui instinctively felt something was wrong when he saw this scene. He frowned and asked, "You sent someone here to call the guards to capture me?"

The gatekeeper immediately put on a smile and said, "You are joking, you are joking. We have received orders from the county magistrate to inform the government office as soon as we see Master Wei Wu return.

Look, I just sent someone over to do this!"

"County Honor?"

Wei Fangjie also rode forward and asked uncertainly, "What does the county lord want to see my father for?"

"You are putting me in a difficult position. The affairs of the county lord are beyond the reach of a mere gatekeeper like me to know.

but……"

After a pause, he said, "The county lord seems to be looking for you in a hurry, so he will send someone to invite you.

If Master Wei Wu is ready, you can go straight to the government office and you should meet him on the way."

Wei Fangjie guessed: "Dad, could it be that something happened during the time you were away that we don't know about?"

Wei Jinkui was not afraid and made a decision directly: "We will know what it is once we see it."

Having said this, he rode his horse into the city and headed straight for the government office.

As for Wei Fangjie, he originally wanted to follow, but before leaving, he seemed to have thought of something, so he returned to the carriage, explained something to his mother and the housekeeper, and then followed into the city.

His pace was much slower. When he arrived at the government office, he only waited for a moment before he saw his father walking out of the office.

His behavior was normal, but his expression was indescribably strange, as if there was something he found difficult to accept.

Wei Fangjie was a little worried and immediately stepped forward: "Dad, what does the county magistrate want to see you for? Did he make things difficult for you?"

"It's not that it's difficult, it's just a little unbelievable!"

Wei Jinkui turned his head, looked at his son, and asked, "I remember you and Taoist Priest Chu are quite familiar with each other, right?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

"Then I want to say that Taoist Master Chu has at least the strength of perfect bone training, and he even killed two masters who have achieved success in bone training. Do you believe it or not?"

Wei Fangjie was stunned: "Dad, are you crazy or am I crazy?"

"Chu Zhou, Young Taoist Chu, you haven't seen him before, don't you know how strong he is?"

Wei Jinkui spread his hands: "I knew it before, but now, I don't know it anymore."

"No, Dad, do you really believe it? This is a joke, right? Even a fool can't believe it, okay?"

Wei Jinkui waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. We'll know when we meet him!"
