Fanatic!

Chapter 106 Some things must be passed down

The next day, Chen Wujun went to find his master, Zhou Qing.

"master!"

"Not bad, he's mastered Qi cultivation." Zhou Qing was pruning the flowers behind the house when he turned to look at Chen Wujun and immediately noticed the changes in him.

Although Qi cultivation integrates the weak bioelectric currents within the body, which are almost invisible from the outside, when the mind and will are in harmony, there will be tremendous changes in essence, energy, and spirit.

Originally, Chen Wujun's spirit and energy were like a sharp blade, sharp and unrestrained.

Now it is like a small mountain, more solid, with its own foundation.

The difficulty of crossing the threshold from physical training to Qi cultivation varies from person to person. Some people make slow progress in physical training, but can cross this threshold in one day.

Chen Wujun made rapid progress earlier, but this hurdle took him quite a while to overcome.

Most people cannot reach the level of Qi cultivation through physical training even after several years.

Understanding one's true nature and achieving harmony between mind and intention has stumped countless people.

This is especially true for people with more complicated thoughts.

"Master, I've mastered the Dragon Force too." Chen Wujun's back twitched and bounced, his muscles undulating like waves. He channeled his power into the back of his hand and punched forward with a crisp, clear sound.

"You've laid a solid foundation." Zhou Qing smiled, unsurprised that Chen Wujun had mastered the Dragon Force.

Chen Wujun has a strong talent for body control, learns kung fu quickly, and has good comprehension. His only flaw is that he is too distracted.

"Are you encountering difficulties in controlling bio-microcurrents?"

“Yes, Master, I’ve been trying to figure out how to control bio-microcurrents to stimulate internal organs, but I haven’t been able to get anywhere,” Chen Wujun said.

The biggest difference between Qi cultivation and body tempering is that Qi cultivation uses microcurrent stimulation to continuously strengthen the internal organs.

No matter how much physical training you do, it only strengthens muscles and bones; the internal organs remain just as vulnerable.

Strengthening the internal organs not only increases resistance to blows, but also enhances explosive power and endurance.

Zhou Qing walked back into the house with his hands behind his back, and Chen Wujun quickly followed behind him.

Once inside, Zhou Qing took a picture from a drawer and tossed it to Chen Wujun.

"I'll teach you a lying posture in a moment, and you can visualize this at the same time."

When Chen Wujun heard Zhou Qing mention visualization, he thought the diagram was something profound.

When I opened it, I was quite taken aback.

It turned out to be a very common human anatomy diagram.

It shows the location of a person's muscles, internal organs, and various bones.

"If you don't even know the location of every muscle, every bone, and every internal organ, how can you control the microcurrents in your body to stimulate them?"

"The lying posture I'm teaching you is called 'Sleeping Dragon,' which means 'a dragon hibernating and lurking in the abyss.' A dragon can be big or small, can rise or hide. This posture looks like a lying posture, but in reality, it's like a sleeping dragon. In the ultimate stillness and gentleness, it continuously mobilizes the micro-currents in your body."

"This stance also needs to be combined with breathing and visualization."

Chen Wujun thought to himself, "Just as I thought."

What Zhou Qing passed down was a complete set of techniques, from the Old Bear Embracing a Tree to the White Crane Probing a Branch, then to the Tiger Descending the Mountain and the Spirit Ape Hanging from the Beam. These four stances train all aspects of the body.

From heavy to light, from hard to soft.

Now that we've reached the stage of Qi cultivation, there are indeed specially designed practice stances.

This lying posture is not difficult. Lie on your side like a bow, hold a magnetic crystal in one hand and press it below your navel. Inhale for 8 seconds, exhale for 12 seconds, and hold for 10 seconds.

Imagine an electric current flowing from the magnetic crystal into your dantian. When you inhale, the current rises and travels to your face. When you exhale, it flows down from the back of your head, travels to the soles of your feet, and returns to below your navel. The 10-second pause represents complete stillness of the body. Visualize the current enveloping and illuminating your internal organs.

Chen Wujun lay on the bed, reclining on his side like a bow, with his palm pressed below his navel, while Zhou Qing stood to the side explaining.

"When practicing this stance, your heart rate should drop below 40. At this time, your body has entered a deep meditation and begins to recover and strengthen itself. It can also calm your blood and qi and repair the hidden injuries caused by previous practice."

“If you only train your body and don’t cultivate your Qi, your Qi and blood will begin to decline after you turn 50. This is because you have accumulated too many hidden injuries during your previous training. Although you can’t feel them, they are all stored in your body. When you cultivate your Qi, you can slowly repair these hidden injuries.”

“Master, this is similar to the meditation technique of the new method,” Chen Wujun said.

He had also learned about some new techniques.

The new technique requires entering a meditative state and lowering the heart rate to below 40, which can only be achieved by a master of the new technique during the resonance phase.

“I told you before that new techniques and old techniques lead to the same goal, even if they are different paths.”

"However, the purpose of the new meditation technique is purification and assimilation, allowing the body to better accept external magnetic field energy. The process is to pursue absolute stillness."

"The purpose of 'hibernating dragon' is to awaken and control your own bioelectric current, where the seeds of movement are hidden in stillness."

"Remember, the slower your heartbeat, the clearer your mind must be, and your thoughts must be as precise as silk. If you have distracting thoughts during 'rest,' or lose control of the electrical current, you may experience palpitations and chest tightness at best, and at worst, your mind may be overwhelmed, leading to internal injuries."

Chen Wujun took a deep breath, cleared his mind of distractions, and began to visualize as Zhou Qing had instructed. At first, he only felt his breathing becoming long and even, but when he paused for 10 seconds, he began to hear the sound of his blood rushing through his body like a river, and felt the slight pulsation of every muscle and fascia...

Moreover, the sound of the blood flowing became louder and louder, and the bulging of muscles and fascia became more and more obvious.

Until he felt his internal organs begin to swell slightly, and the sensation of blood flowing and fascia bulging gradually faded away, he grasped that faint and pure bio-current.

……

After a long while, Chen Wujun opened his eyes, and his heart immediately began to beat faster as the strength returned to his body.

Chen Wujun lay there, carefully feeling his body. It was as if he had been washed by a light rain, and his whole body felt refreshed. The subtle feeling was indescribable.

He knew he had practiced correctly.

It's not that your body is truly rejuvenated, but rather that your body has been stimulated by bioelectric currents, hence this sensation, which will subside soon.

Getting out of bed, Chen Wujun saw Zhou Qing sitting on the sofa drinking tea. Remembering the photo he'd seen before and the person Li Wei had mentioned, he asked, "Master, do you know Deng Yuan?"

"There are still people who remember him... Have you met someone from the East Seventh District?" Zhou Qing asked calmly.

"I took in a subordinate who was smuggled in from the East Seventh District."

Zhou Qing nodded slightly: "The Tiger Roar Golden Bell Cover you learned is Deng Yuan's Tiger Roar Golden Bell Cover. This skill has existed since ancient times, but he has mastered it to an incredible level."

Upon hearing this, Chen Wujun thought to himself, "Just as I thought."

Deng Yuan... is very likely one of the people in that photo.

Deng Yuan left with others 50 years ago. Was his master one of those people?

"Since you've met people from the East Seventh District, you should know that Deng Yuan is most famous for his Tiger Roar Golden Bell Cover and Dragon Roar Iron Shirt. However, he also has another skill that is incredibly advanced. Combined with his external martial arts, he can dominate the area and no one can stop him."

Before Chen Wujun could ask, Zhou Qing said to himself, "The ultimate technique of the Three Emperors Cannon Hammer, the Master's Three Bows."

"Master, what kind of kung fu is the Three Emperors Cannon Hammer? And what is the Master's Three Bows?" Chen Wujun immediately became interested.

"The name of the Three Emperors Cannon Hammer comes from the Three Emperors of Heaven, Earth and Man in our Huayan people's legend. It is also called the Three Emperors Cannon Hammer because its power is like a cannon and its strike is like a hammer."

"The Master bowed three times, his whole body was perfectly integrated, and he was able to attack and defend as a whole. He was good at using the opponent's force, and each strike was stronger than the last."

"With Deng Yuan's unparalleled external martial arts skills, no one can withstand this move."

A hint of reminiscence crossed Zhou Qing's eyes.

Chen Wujun listened with growing interest and curiosity.

"Master, do you know how to make the Three Emperors Cannon Hammer?"

"If you want to learn, just say so. This place is too small. I'll teach you next time we go to the warehouse," Zhou Qing said slowly.

Chen Wujun stayed at Zhou Qing's place until evening. When Senior Brother Li returned and saw him there, he was slightly surprised, but he didn't say anything.

After dinner, Chen Wujun left.

In the dead of night, Zhou Qing suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes opening and closing as swiftly as lightning.

I put on my clothes and left home at a leisurely pace. In the open space ahead, I saw a tall, imposing figure with a presence as majestic as a towering mountain.

"So it was you!" Zhou Qing's eyelids drooped slightly after he recognized the person opposite him.
The other party did not reply, and with a leap, disappeared into the darkness. The speed was like lightning. In the blink of an eye, the person was gone, and people would think it was a ghost.

Zhou Qing's feet trembled, and he vanished.

A moment later, Zhou Qing appeared on the sea near Hongxianglu Bay.

Zhou Qing walked on the sea surface as if it were flat ground.

Then they appeared on a reef.

The figure opposite turned around and revealed a fierce-looking man with no hair or eyebrows. Without saying a word, he stomped his feet and instantly covered a distance of dozens of meters, raising his hand to throw a punch at Zhou Qing's head.

The punch landed like a mountain crashing down, creating a powerful gust of wind and swirling air currents.

Zhou Qing didn't move his eyelids, took a deep breath, and his whole body swelled up, transforming from an old man who was 1.75 meters tall into a strong man who was over 2 meters tall, with muscles all over his body like giant pythons coiled together.

His appearance also changed from that of someone in their fifties or sixties to someone around thirty, making him look completely different from before.

Facing the opponent's mountain-like punch, Zhou Qing remained still, raised his hand and flipped it outward to block it with a horizontal punch.

boom!
A loud bang was heard when their arms met.

The man bulged his arm, and his already thick arm instantly became two sizes thicker, like a pillar cast from refined steel. Veins coiled around his arm like small snakes.

His palms were also as large as millstones, tinged with a blood-red cinnabar color. With each flick of his fingers, air would fly out, and then his hand would suddenly press down.

No matter how skilled a person is, upon seeing this palm strike, they will feel a sense of terror that there is no way to dodge or block it.

Even the most invincible master would be suppressed by this palm strike.

Zhou Qing's eyes suddenly lit up, his muscles rippled and he braced himself with his hands to face the attack.

The rocks beneath their feet instantly crumbled, not into countless fragments, but into a sheet of fine black sand, while the sea surface surged with towering waves several meters high.

Both of them controlled their power to a single point, but the power that leaked out was still extremely terrifying.

The hard reefs were directly shaken into fine sand, and waves several meters high were churned up on the sea surface.

In that instant, Zhou Qing retreated dozens of meters, and the man chased after him, raising his hand high and slamming it down again.

As Zhou Qing's muscles rippled, he unleashed a powerful shot that collided with the man's palm. Instantly, the air was blasted into a barely visible white wave, like water.

The man pressed forward relentlessly, while Zhou Qing only blocked and did not attack. The sounds of impact continued, as if the two men's fists were colliding like two mountains.

The two figures flashed across the coastal rocks, and in a short while, the rocks were all turned to dust by the aftershocks of the battle.

The sea was like boiling water, with huge waves rising and crashing in all directions.

After fighting fiercely for hundreds of rounds, the man finally stopped, looking at Zhou Qing with no emotion in his eyes.

"Why aren't you dead yet? Everyone else is dead, why aren't you dead yet? You should die with them!"

"Fifty years have passed, are you still going to live on, Lee San-gun!"

Zhou Qing is not his real name; Li Shanjun is.

Zhou Qing lowered his eyelids.

"almost!"

There are always things that need to be passed down.
