The years when I explored the fairyland.

Chapter 7: Optimization, Secret Techniques
In the opinion of the White-haired Immortal, it is right to strengthen the Qi and blood, and it is also right to condense the strength.

However, it is extremely stupid to divide the human body into different parts, train them separately, and pursue the so-called individual limits.

He has two main reasons. First, although the human body has many organs, it is not isolated but a whole.

They are interrelated and influence each other. If you are strong in only one of them, it may lead to imbalance, which in turn may cause unpredictable consequences.

For example, when it comes to "training the tendons", the saying "an inch longer in the tendons means ten times more strength" does make sense.

However, if you only train your muscles to the extreme, without sufficient bone support, muscle cushioning, and blood supply, how much power can you exert?
Therefore, if you only practice the tendons, the so-called extreme is just the lower limit of other related muscles of the body.

Although it is possible to achieve impressive results, these lower limits have restricted the heights that can be achieved.

Secondly, the white-haired immortal put forward another point of view that today’s limit is not tomorrow’s limit.

Specifically speaking, cultivation is a process of growth and breaking through limits. Even if you have successfully trained your tendons, once you have passed the four major levels of "tendons, flesh, skin and bones" and your physique has become strong to a certain extent,

Looking back, is the extreme that was reached before still the extreme?

If it is the ultimate, then what is the point of your cultivation to break through the realm?

If it is not the extreme, does it mean that there is still room for improvement?
Since there is still room for improvement, then isn't the word "extreme" misleading?
Therefore, it is not impossible to train the body in this way, but it will ultimately limit the limit of growth!
The above is the White-haired Immortal’s point of view. Then, let Chu Zhou take a look?

There is absolutely nothing wrong with that!

It is well-reasoned, clear, and logical, and it seems to make sense at first glance.

Moreover, if you think that the white-haired immortal is just bragging and will not solve the problem, you are wrong!
While he raised the problem, he also gave a solution to the problem - that is to train the four major exercises together, strengthening the muscles, skin and bones at the same time!
Before I knew it, the papers on the desk were already filled with words, written in an flamboyant and flamboyant style like ghost paintings, but the content was extremely rich.

However, at this moment, Chu Zhou was no longer satisfied with simply thinking, writing and drawing.

He leaped to the center of the underground secret room and quickly cleared out all the items, leaving a large enough open area.

Then, stand still, relax your shoulders and elbows, and slowly adjust your breathing. With each inhalation and exhalation, your breath will become more long and orderly.

Until one moment, his eyes focused and he suddenly moved.

The spine was like a dragon, the hands were like dragon claws, and the whole person suddenly twisted his body, like a giant python circling, his body tense, and he turned his head, as if staring at his prey.

This is the 'Dragon Swimming in Shallows' style!
He changed direction and tried again. Chu Zhou felt that he was now full of strength.

With another leap, he leaped out, his body stretched extremely in the air, seeming loose and tense at the same time, the force rising from the ground, reaching the extremities of his limbs, after a moment of stagnation, his hands and feet finally landed on the ground.

This is the 'dragon ascending to heaven style'!
Afterwards, Chu Zhou suddenly exerted force and his whole body bounced up again, like a dragon or a tiger, walking forward, his muscles bulging and veins jumping.

His hands were like claws, grabbing into the air. In an instant, he turned eighteen directions, covering his entire body.

This is the 'Dragon Claw Style'!
After practicing the three moves, Chu Zhou immediately slowed down his movements, then held the stance again, adjusted his breathing, and felt the pulsation in his body.

It must be said that Chu Zhou was quite familiar with the practice of the Three Swimming Dragon Styles. After all, he had practiced it many times before.

And because the movements are stretching and powerful, and involve more tendons, bones and muscles, every time I get up early and do this, it's like turning on a switch for my body.

But, that’s all!

At least, he didn't find the qi and blood, nor did he condense the strength. He was just stretching his muscles in an ordinary way.

But this time, it's different!

Just once, he felt the blood rushing in his body like a mighty river, flowing to every corner and every cell of his body along with the beating of his heart.

With some understanding in his mind, Chu Zhou moved again, using the same three dragon moves, but he slowed down his speed.

In the midst of twists and turns, I used my heart to feel, understand, and search...

This won’t be easy!
Because, in this world, there are many people who practice martial arts, but those who can control qi and blood and condense strength are considered real warriors, and there are not many of them.

However, after only the second time, Chu Zhou found the energy and blood flowing in the blood and the strength flowing between muscle movements.

It was incredible, but this was the result of all the buffs, performing in dreams, understanding by oneself, and penetrating the secrets...

Up to this point, everything seemed to be falling into place.

Then, when he performed the Three Wandering Dragon Moves for the third time, his blood and energy were surging like a tide, and his strength was rising and falling like waves, washing over every part of his body again and again.

Yes, it is not just about training the tendons, but using the inherent circulation to temper the four major barriers of tendons, bones and membranes together.

Therefore, the real martial arts, after taking the qi and blood and concentrating the strength, should reach the "Body Tempering" stage!

The body is like iron, the blood is like fire, the strength is like a hammer, hitting, pounding, forging over and over again...

Until the end, your body will be as indestructible as a diamond, with a strength of ten thousand pounds.

After practicing once, Chu Zhou slowly ended the exercise and stood up again. His whole body was like a cooked shrimp, red and hot.

After he slowly exhaled, a large amount of hot air came out of his body, like smoke or fog, which was very strange. At this moment, Chu Zhou felt a slight hunger coming over him, and his body was also weak after exhaustion, but his spirit was extremely excited, his whole body was transparent, and his body was as if alive, and it was extremely comfortable.

But after feeling it silently for a moment, he couldn't help but shook his head!
It’s not that the improved version of “The Angry Dragon” is bad. In fact, its effect has exceeded expectations.

Even so, he had never drunk any medicinal soup or taken any medicinal bath, but only had his own weak qi and blood and strength to achieve such an effect.

Moreover, the practice of the 'Three Swimming Dragon Styles' actually still has many shortcomings. If he is given time to explore it bit by bit, he can still continue to improve and optimize it.

By then, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it would be a groundbreaking progress.

Good, of course it’s really good!
But the problem is that even the optimized "Wrath of the Dragon" still needs time to practice and sufficient assistance from medicine.

Even if the skills are good enough, the process of "tempering the body" still requires moving forward step by step.

And what he lacks most now is time!

After resting for a while, Chu Zhou felt his strength restored. He stretched his body and felt the blood flowing and strength surging in his body. He was in an excellent state.

He walked to the desk and haphazardly put together a pile of draft papers filled with techniques and ideas, and then piled them together with old books in a corner of the bookshelf.

Then, he spread out new paper, placed the mystical animal skin on top, and slowly opened it.

But this time, he did not rush to look. Instead, he closed his eyes slightly, concentrated, and after emptying his mind, he stared at the unfolded animal skin in his hand again.

When it comes to the martial arts of this world, the White-haired Immortal is positive but also critical; he also approves but denies some of the concepts.

Then there is pure disgust and aversion towards the occult arts.

According to him, the path of martial arts is at least a path of growth and progress, a path to climbing to the top, and a path to transcendence.

This secret technique is simply playing with your own life.

Take "The Art of Ghost Companions" as an example. Raising ghosts with one's body and controlling ghosts to kill people is simply a way of killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of one's own.

Even a true ghost cultivator would not do such a thankless task.

Moreover, the biggest problem with this kind of secret technique is that it only cultivates the technique and not the life. When it is activated, one will lose one's own energy and spirit, and even his lifespan.

It may help temporarily, but in the long run, it will be a losing deal!

As for how to solve this problem?

The simplest way is to cultivate both the body and the soul to find the most suitable energy to supply the consumption of the secret technique.

In this way, not only will the foundation not be damaged, but the proficiency in the use of secret techniques will also be increased.

As for, what is the appropriate energy?
In short, mana!

But the problem is that there is no so-called method of cultivating both sex and life in "The Art of Ghost Companions". It is just a simple method of raising and controlling ghosts.

Of course, even if he looked down on it, the White-haired Immortal did not forget what he should do. He still gave a very thorough analysis and offered many feasible suggestions for optimization and improvement.

For example, raising a ghost inside your body is actually the most foolish thing to do.

The human body's Qi and blood are Yang, while ghosts and spirits are Yin. The two are naturally in conflict. If mixed together, it will harm both the ghosts and yourself!
So, just change the material that is suitable for raising ghosts!
For example, sacrificial vessels in tombs, and jade palaces that have been hidden underground for a long time. Of course, if these are hard to find, a piece of sunken wood will also do.

The so-called sunken wood is a tree that grows facing north. It is best if it does not see sunlight all year round and is buried deep underground without decaying.

Inspiration surged, and with a stroke of the brush, Chu Zhou started writing and drawing on the paper without stopping for a moment.

Of course, although using sunken wood as a substitute has its advantages, it is not without disadvantages.

That is, if the ghost is not restrained, it is very easy to turn against its master. Therefore, it is best to carve restraining runes on the dark wood, and the person himself must also have the corresponding method to control it.

Actually, all of these are included in "The Art of Demons". You just need to select the appropriate parts, copy them down, and use them.

However, in order to drive away ghosts, you have to give them some benefits. Without magic power, you can only feed them with your own essence and blood.

This will still harm yourself, but it is the best method with the least side effects at this stage.

and then?
And then what else?
Chu Zhou's thoughts suddenly got stuck. He was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, his pen was already filled with words.

There are many corrections and scribbles on it, and the handwriting is still messy and sloppy, but this does not prevent this "Ghost Art" from being optimized.

Although it has been changed beyond recognition, you cannot deny that this secret art has been improved to at least a higher level.

If this kind of secret technique was life-threatening before, now, although it would also harm oneself, at least it can be used.

However, after shaking the paper, Chu Zhou figured out what he was missing?

So, where can he find that accomplice?
This thought flashed through his mind, and he was stunned again, because it seemed that it was really possible!
