Under One Person: Starting with the Dual Cultivation of Body and Soul.

After returning from his old haunts at Sanyi Gate, Li Chang'an resumed his unwavering routine.

He would meditate, practice swordsmanship, read books, and hone his life force in the quiet room in the backyard.

Life was no different from before.

During this time, Li Chang'an heard some news from his grandfather.

The Celestial Master sent Zhang Lingyu down the mountain to gain experience, saying that he would teach him the Yang Five Thunder Techniques when he returned.

Lu Jin reminded Li Chang'an that the thunder magic of Longhu Mountain was renowned throughout the world, and he should still be wary of being overtaken by that brat Zhang Lingyu.

Li Chang'an just smiled after hearing this.

He wasn't afraid that Zhang Lingyu would learn any thunder magic.

I get shocked by high voltage every few days, so what's there to be afraid of?

Besides, it's hard to say whether Zhang Lingyu can even learn Yang Wu Lei.

If it is Yin Five Thunder, the restraint on reverse life is even smaller.

Reversal of life is a long process, requiring a high burst of power to break through the state.

But Yin Wu Lei is precisely the kind of thing that sucks out bones and marrow, and cuts flesh with a dull knife.

Moreover, judging from the plot, Zhang Lingyu doesn't know how to use this blunt knife.

Insignificant.

Meanwhile, whether it was because the Quanxing demons had special communication channels or because some of them had escaped and survived, news of Li Chang'an's bloody battle with the Quanxing demons at the foot of Sanyi Mountain also spread.

There is an independent circle of people with extraordinary abilities, and there is even a dedicated forum.

The forum was established by Jianghu Xiaozhan, the largest intelligence organization in the world of supernatural beings, and its main purpose is to create a communication platform exclusively for supernatural beings.

Some older people would share their experiences of spiritual practice on the forum.

Of course, the younger generation is the most active in it.

Zhuge Qing, for example, was quite active.

Lu Linglong was also very active.

For a while, the hottest topics on the forum were undoubtedly the Sanyi Gate and Li Chang'an.

Especially the contest between Li Chang'an and Zhang Lingyu.

It has even been called Lu Ye's revenge by some people.

As Zhang Lingyu went down the mountain to gain experience and Li Chang'an went into seclusion to cultivate, the popularity between the two gradually declined.

But just in the last few days, someone posted news of the encounter at the foot of Sanyimen Mountain on the forum.

The entire forum was once again completely ignited.

Many people couldn't believe it when they first saw the post exposing the story.

One person fighting against more than ten...

Moreover, he is a member of the Quanxing Demon Clan.

How can this be?

Even if it's Ip Man, that won't work!

But as more specific information came out, and even Lu Jin and the parties involved did not deny it, people gradually began to believe it, but still found it very unbelievable.

You should know that among those demons, there are earth-walking immortals skilled in earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magical technique), masters of iron shirt martial arts, assassins proficient in assassination, and evil sorcerers who can summon spirits...

With this lineup, without any elders present, they simply couldn't imagine how to win. Let alone win, even escaping would be a problem.

But Li Chang'an not only didn't escape, he also killed them all!

What a terrifying record!

Although none of those who died were considered famous masters in the Quanxing sect.

But Li Chang'an is just a young upstart.

For a long time afterward, the forum was filled with discussions about how Li Chang'an managed to survive and kill all those people.

All sorts of "combat power analysis posts" have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

Amidst the numerous serious analysis posts, a few unconventional and quirky posts occasionally pop up.

For example, the third item on the homepage's trending list has this title displayed abruptly:

"Exclusive reveal! I've discovered a secret: perhaps Li Chang'an is the reincarnation of the Great Ying Immortal!!!"

It was followed by three bold exclamation marks.

The title was sensational and eye-catching enough. Many onlookers couldn't resist clicking to find out more.

The post was simple, consisting of two pictures: on the left was a portrait of Zuo Ruotong, the Immortal of Daying, and on the right was a photo of Li Chang'an at his disciple-acceptance banquet.

The original poster wrote over a thousand words below, making extremely detailed comparisons from hair volume and color to the angle of the folds in the Taoist robe.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Please take a good look at these two pictures! Just look at Li Chang'an's appearance, those long legs, that small face! If you say there's nothing fishy going on between them, I'll gouge my eyes out and stomp on them!"

"Let me explain. With Li Chang'an's small frame, how could he possibly crush more than a dozen Quanxing demons on the ground by himself?"

"Where did he get such great abilities? I can't think of any other possibility except that their ancestor, the Great Immortal of Great Ying, was reincarnated in another body!"

The poster's ID is "Tianjin Xiaotaoyuan Liu Fang".

Below his main post, two accounts immediately appeared that quickly bumped the thread.

Guan Ling'er from Xiaotaoyuan, Tianjin, commented:

"Big brother is absolutely right! It's a logical loop, so it is!"

Zhang Cai from Xiaotaoyuan, Tianjin, echoed:

This is the truth! No arguments will be accepted!

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that these three guys with "Tianjin Xiaotaoyuan" in their names are just messing around and causing trouble.

However, comparing the two in the photos, they do indeed bear a striking resemblance.

As a result, a large number of netizens still chimed in with comments.

After all, this post has pictures and evidence, and it does look quite plausible; otherwise, it wouldn't be enough to explain how Li Chang'an managed to defeat more than a dozen opponents at once.

While the forum was buzzing with discussion, Li Chang'an had already undergone two more high-voltage electric shocks.

After several rounds of external training, Li Chang'an gained a deeper understanding of this kind of cultivation.

The efficiency of forging is not simply determined by the strength of the electric current, but by the efficiency of tearing.

Just like when working out, you need to focus on the number of repetitions to exhaustion. In short, it's not about simply training harder, more intensely, or for longer periods to grow more muscles.

The key to improving efficiency lies in the precision of Qi control.

After the reverse life is torn apart, the Qi will be in a brief state of chaos in the meridians. If the Qi can be sorted out and the reverse life can be rebuilt in a very short time, the tempering effect will also increase.

If one can build eight rebirths in succession with almost no interruption, the improvement for oneself will be the best.

More than eight times will not only reduce the effectiveness but also harm your health.

Below eight times, the increase is more in speed and strength during the reverse state, with less overall improvement.

Although Li Chang'an has a high degree of control over Qi and can rebuild it in a short time, it is still difficult for him to open it instantly like Master Zuo.

He felt that if he could train his control over Qi, his life force would be further honed.

So during this time, whenever he had free time, he would practice his control over Qi in the courtyard.

The Qi refined by the extraordinary person is blue. Before it is transformed, it is invisible to the naked eye of ordinary people, but can only be seen by the extraordinary person.

What Li Chang'an is practicing now is the white qi that has been transformed through the three stages of reverse life.

This white Qi is highly condensed and can be seen by ordinary people.

Moreover, its strength is much higher than that of ordinary Qi, and its power is also much greater.

However, it cannot be released like ordinary Qi.

Because it is Qi formed from the reverse of Li Chang'an's skin and flesh.

If he were to unleash a burst of white energy with a single palm strike, it would be tantamount to tearing a piece of flesh from one's own body and throwing it away.

Therefore, the members of the Sanyi Sect always engage in close-quarters combat.

"Once you reach the third level, it seems you can ignore this point."

Li Chang'an stretched out his hand, looking at the white light swirling around his fingertips: "But that's not necessarily true. Maybe it was launched out and then taken back!"

He didn't delve too deeply into the issue.

When you reach that level of understanding, you will naturally comprehend it.

If you haven't reached a certain level of understanding, thinking too much is just creating unnecessary trouble for yourself.

While training his control over Qi, Li Chang'an suddenly felt that the Sanyi Sect's application of Qi transformation seemed a bit too hasty.

Basically, it's when someone else attacks and you can't dodge in time, or you simply don't dodge at all, allowing your body to be damaged, and then you recover through Qi transformation.

If the injury is caused by ordinary fist and foot techniques, the recovery process will be relatively less strenuous.

However, if one is injured by spells such as lightning or fire, the recovery process will be very costly.

Before repairing a wound, external energies such as flames and lightning attached to it must be removed.

If the opponent is very strong, this step alone can cause a lot of damage.

If this happens too many times, the excessive energy expenditure may render the person unable to maintain the regenerative state, ultimately leading to their death.

It's highly likely that Si Chong and Cheng Zhen were worn down to death by the Quanxing demons in the past.

But what if we try a different approach?

When someone strikes with lightning, instead of taking the hit head-on, one should first use Qi to transform the affected area before the attack arrives, creating a hole in the body so that the lightning can pass through.

Wouldn't this significantly reduce the strain on our own resources, making us more capable of fighting a protracted war?

Although Li Chang'an's current reversal state grants him extremely high defensive capabilities, he cannot break through the defenses of ordinary attacks, let alone create a hole in advance, even if he stands still.

But it's always good to plan ahead.

This skill is optional, but it's essential.

Moreover, this is also a form of training in the control of Qi.

Chapter 121 Practice and Relaxation

Although improving one's spiritual cultivation naturally increases one's control over Qi.

However, this is only the lower limit at this stage. With some practice, there is still a lot of room for improvement.

Li Chang'an's training method involved sitting on a stool with two ropes and a Rubik's Cube on his lap, and while turning the Rubik's Cube, he would use the two ropes to tie and braid the ropes.

It didn't sound special, but he didn't use his hands; instead, he manipulated the white qi on his body surface to do it.

A knot is made by wrapping and tying a red string into various knots, such as a square knot or a lark's knot.

Rope braiding is the process of using rope to make bracelets, necklaces, belts, lanyards, and so on.

Needless to say, the Rubik's Cube training is from easy to difficult, and it involves doing all three at once.

It was very difficult at first. I would often focus on one thing and then fall behind on the other two. And whether it was knotting, braiding, or Rubik's Cube, I could only do the simplest ones.

But gradually, he became more skilled and could not only operate all three at the same time, but his precision also improved little by little.

During this process, he began to understand why Taoism refers to the power transformed from Qi as magical power.

Method refers to techniques, and strength refers to power.

Magic power is actually the power of spells and magic.

The law must be understood and the strength must be practiced.

After training the white light on his body surface in this way, Li Chang'an found that he had made great progress in the use of Qi. He could not only multitask, but also divide his thoughts.

Previously, this white qi was used for protection; if you wanted to hit someone, you had to swing your fist.

But now, he doesn't need to swing his fist; with a thought, the white energy around him can directly strike back.
