A small building on the edge of the cliff, the surrounding environment is peaceful and quiet, and the furnishings in the house are leisurely and natural.
An old man and a young man were sitting on the balcony on the second floor, smelling the aroma of tea on the table and hearing the waterfall flowing in the distance.
In such a state, the human mind becomes silent involuntarily.
When Meng Xiuyuan heard Lu Miaozi's words about "defeating Zhu Yuyan in thirty years", he only smiled slightly but did not comment.
"Old sir, it seems that you are thinking quite far-term.
But what exactly is this plan? Can you tell me in detail?
Why do you think I can defeat Zhu Yuyan and Ning Daoqi within thirty years?"
Since Meng Xiuyuan was reincarnated, he has not come into contact with many people in the world. The old Mr. Lu Miaozi in front of him is the only way for him to understand martial arts in this world.
After getting along with each other several times, Meng Xiuyuan felt that he understood the old man relatively well. He knew that although he had some selfish intentions, he had no malicious intentions, so he was willing to listen to what he had to say.
Regardless of whether he ultimately cooperates with him or not, Meng Xiuyuan is unwilling to let go of such an opportunity to broaden his horizons.
Lu Miaozi was over seventy years old and had experienced many vicissitudes of life. How could he not understand Meng Xiuyuan's thoughts?
However, he was arrogant by nature, conceited and smart, but he didn't care and immediately said:
"Little brother, do you know that after entering the innate realm, what is the most important point for warriors to distinguish between their strengths and weaknesses?"
Meng Xiuyuan shook his head and said with a smile:
"Please ask the old gentleman to teach me frankly...
I still don’t even understand what the so-called ‘innate realm’ is.
How do you know what happens after entering the innate world?"
Lu Miaozi nodded, seemingly satisfied with Meng Xiuyuan's humble and teachable attitude:
“Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, this is knowing.
Well, my little brother has such great skills at such a young age, but he is still not arrogant and complacent. He is indeed a teachable talent..."
At this point, Lu Miaozi did not sell out any more, and immediately explained to Meng Xiuyuan warmly:
“The reason why martial arts cultivation is divided into innate and acquired is because there is a huge difference between these two realms.
In the day after tomorrow, the warriors compete to see whose true energy is stronger and whose martial arts skills are more advanced.
But after entering the Xiantian realm, especially after entering the Xiantian realm for a long enough time, there is only one key factor that determines the absolute strength and weakness of warriors...
That is one’s martial arts realm.”
Meng Xiuyuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said that he had finally reached the key point, and immediately asked Lu Miaozi:
"Old sir, what specifically is this martial arts realm you are talking about?
Does it mean the warrior’s understanding and integration of martial arts?”
Speaking of this, Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help but think of the "martial arts conception" achieved by master Zhang Zhenren after he created Tai Chi and integrated martial arts throughout his life.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Lu Miaozi shook his head and explained to Meng Xiuyuan:
"It's one of them, but it's not complete. The realm of martial arts I'm talking about is not only related to martial arts itself.
If I have to say it, it should refer more to a person's spiritual realm, the realm of mind, and the depth of communication with this world..."
Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard the words. He felt that Lu Miaozi's words were quite mysterious. Although he could understand them based on the words, he had no personal experience.
"According to what the old gentleman said, to reach the highest level of martial arts in this world is to rely on spirit and thoughts to hurt people?"
Meng Xiuyuan asked Lu Miaozi in confusion.
Lu Miaozi shook his head with a smile and said to Meng Xiuyuan:
"My little brother misunderstood, it's not that mysterious.
When a peerless master fights with others, he can indeed use his spirit and momentum to oppress the opponent, so that he can gain an advantage in the duel, and even defeat the enemy without fighting.
But to destroy enemies of similar strength, you still have to rely on fists, feet, swords, and Qi moves..."
"Then why do we only mention the so-called 'martial arts realm' and not the warrior's true energy, body, and moves?"
Meng Xiuyuan still asked with concern.
These are his rare advantages. If they don't work, it's not good news.
Lu Miaozi smiled when he heard this, as if he had already guessed that Meng Xiuyuan would ask such a question, and immediately explained to him:
"This brings us to the fundamental difference between innate warriors and acquired warriors.
In the acquired stage, martial arts practitioners refine their Qi and refine the five internal organs of the human body into Zhen Qi. Although the speed of this process varies somewhat depending on each person's qualifications, it is not too fast in the end.
If you are stuck at this step, no matter how many years you work hard to refine your Qi, it will eventually be difficult to compete with the real masters.
After reaching the innate realm, the human body gradually begins to communicate with heaven and earth, and the refined Qi, both in quality and quantity, is naturally far superior to the acquired realm.
At the same time, the human body eventually has a certain limit. When the skill increases to a certain level, it will almost reach its peak.
Therefore, as long as a person enters the innate realm, it can take as short as ten or eight years, or as long as twenty or thirty years, and the journey of pure Qi refining can be considered to be over. Although there are differences between them, they are not too big.
many.
At this time, the gap in martial arts realm became apparent.
Because the spiritual realm must be improved to make the moves more powerful and the true energy to be used more efficiently. Even after reaching extremely high places, touching the realm of the unity of heaven and man, using the power of heaven and earth to assist oneself.
As for those so-called magical skills and secret techniques, in fact, every peerless master has them, they are part of their martial arts realm..."
Hearing Lu Miaozi say so many "good things" in one breath, Meng Xiuyuan was suddenly enlightened, but he couldn't help but secretly sigh that the level of martial arts in this world was indeed much higher than what he had been exposed to in his previous two lives.
The so-called "innate true energy" is somewhat similar to Meng Xiuyuan's true energy that was fused with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at this time.
But he has yet to come into contact with the remaining concepts such as "the unity of heaven and man" and "utilizing the power of heaven and earth".
At this point, while Meng Xiuyuan felt deeply pressured, he was also very excited. He felt that the road ahead suddenly became clear. As far as the naked eye could see, there was a very vast world of martial arts waiting for him to explore.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Looking at Meng Xiuyuan's slightly dazed look, Lu Miaozi didn't know the complacency in Meng Xiuyuan's heart. She just felt that a child was ignorant and had difficulty understanding these profound things.
And this was very close to what he had envisioned, which made him very satisfied.
"Haha, little brother, you don't have to think so much right now.
Although the road ahead is long, but you are so young, you will eventually finish it.
Moreover, the reason why I say that I am confident that you can defeat that witch Zhu Yuyan in thirty years.
It's because you have already surpassed all the warriors in the world based on basics..."
Lu Miaozi raised her hand to pour another cup of tea for Meng Xiuyuan, then stared back and forth and spoke encouragingly.
"What the old gentleman is referring to should be that my body is stronger than others..."
Meng Xiuyuan heard what Lu Miaozi said and could roughly guess what he meant.
"Yes, little brother is really smart!"
Lu Miaozi nodded, his eyes full of determination:
"My little brother's physical strength is probably unparalleled in ancient and modern times.
In terms of your physical body alone, you are already as good as some first-time innate masters.
More importantly, the stronger your body is, the broader your Dantian meridians are, and the more Qi you can carry.
In the future, when you enter Xiantian and cultivate your true energy to the extreme, it will definitely be far beyond the comparison of ordinary people.
In this way, you become an anomaly in this world.
Even if your martial arts level is not as good as others, when it comes to taking action, you may not be unable to win..."
Hearing this, Meng Xiuyuan nodded slightly, finally understanding why Lu Miaozi insisted on making a deal with him five years ago.
Indeed, if the top master in the Central Plains like Ning Daoqi cannot do anything to Zhu Yuyan, then if Lu Miaozi wants to take revenge, her hope must be placed entirely on Meng Xiuyuan, an "anomaly" who transcends common sense.
At this point, Lu Miaozi felt that the groundwork was sufficient, so he struck while the iron was hot, and then said to Meng Xiuyuan:
"Little brother, you have such unique conditions, and you are already stronger than many people by nature.
But if you want to become a peerless master in the future, or even number one in the world, you still need to work hard.
After all, you haven't even set foot in the innate realm yet.
If the level of martial arts is too different, then even with your strength, you will not be able to defeat those real masters.
And this is where I can help you..."
"Oh? Please elaborate, sir." Meng Xiuyuan responded in a very cooperative manner.
Lu Miaozi smiled slightly, showing a slightly proud look:
"Although I am obsessed with miscellaneous studies and neglect martial arts, I cannot teach you personally.
But after all, I have been traveling around the world for decades and still have a few friends.
Little brother, as long as you promise to avenge that witch Zhu Yuyan for me in the future, then I will give you my full help.
Apart from anything else, when Dan Naning Daoqi saw the old man, he would respectfully call me Teacher Lu.
He never accepts disciples, but if I open my mouth and let him teach you for a while, I think it will be no problem..."
After the words fell, Lu Miaozi did not speak again, and did not even look at Meng Xiuyuan, but silently sipped the fragrant tea in her cup.
Obviously, in his mind, Meng Xiuyuan's heart should have been filled with excitement when he heard the words "Ning Daoqi" at this moment. He no longer had any reason to refuse, and there was no need for him to persuade him.
Unfortunately, contrary to what the old man expected, he never heard Meng Xiuyuan's answer while he waited.
After a long time, Lu Miaozi also noticed something was wrong. He put down the teacup with a slight frown and asked Meng Xiuyuan:
"Why, little brother, do you have any worries?"
Unexpectedly, Meng Xiuyuan immediately shook his head and simply refused:
"Old sir, thank you for your kindness.
However, what I have always wanted is the "Secret of Immortality", so there is no need to trouble an expert like Ning Daoqi to give me guidance..."
In fact, in terms of martial arts alone, Meng Xiuyuan really wanted to communicate and learn more with such a top master, but he vaguely remembered that this number one martial artist in the Central Plains seemed to be involved in a wide range of arenas and politics, and his reputation was not good.
Considered good.
Meng Xiuyuan was unwilling to accept his favor, so he would be trapped by favor in the future as well.
Lu Miaozi had thought about today's conversation so many times in the past five years, but he never expected that Meng Xiuyuan would reject such a sincere proposal:
"Little brother, I advise you to think again.
Opportunities like this are very rare.
Even if you are extremely talented, you still need training and guidance after all..."
As she spoke, Lu Miaozi couldn't help but feel anxious. She felt that it was difficult to convince the stubborn young man in front of her with words alone. She immediately put a hand lightly on Meng Xiuyuan's shoulder, trying to prove to him with facts:
"Well, little brother, I'll let you experience it for yourself.
What is the difference between the innate True Qi and the acquired True Qi that you are practicing now?
Don't worry, I won't hurt you..."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Miaozi had already mobilized his innate true energy and sent it towards Meng Xiuyuan.
Although he didn't want to hurt Meng Xiuyuan because of this, he also wanted to let Meng Xiuyuan know how powerful he was, so even though he used soft energy, he still used six or seven of his successful power.
I didn't think about it immediately. The next moment, I heard a "bang" sound. The old Mr. Lu Miaozi was thrown away by a wave of air. He vomited blood and drew an arc in the air.
The wind blew the paper as weakly as it fell straight into the bamboo forest downstairs.
Seeing the sight, Meng Xiu hurriedly chased after him, but in the blink of an eye, he was already holding Lu Miaozi in mid-air.
"Old sir, your innate energy is really powerful!"
After the two of them landed and stood firm, Meng Xiuyuan immediately said to Lu Miaozi very seriously.
"you……"
Lu Miaozi subconsciously looked at her trembling palms, and then looked up at Meng Xiuyuan, who had a calm expression. For a moment, her face turned red and she was speechless.
Seeing this, Meng Xiuyuan also knew that what he said was somewhat ambiguous, so he quickly waved his hand and explained:
"Old sir, please don't misunderstand me. I am not sarcastic to you, I am sincere in what I say.
There are indeed some peculiarities in your innate true energy that are not found in my true energy.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Otherwise, my body-protecting Qi will never be stimulated to the point of being automatically activated..."
Lu Miaozi was stunned when he heard this. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that what Meng Xiuyuan said was indeed true.
Just after the contact, he realized that the true energy in Meng Xiuyuan's body was as vast as a river. In terms of power alone, it was indeed far superior to the ordinary Hou Zhenqi.
It was just vague, as if there was something missing compared to the innate innocence in him.
"Old sir, don't blame me, I'm here to calm you down..."
Meng Xiuyuan felt that he had touched the key point of the so-called "innate realm", so he immediately helped Lu Miaozi sit down on the spot, put his palms on the old man's vest, and performed exercises to heal his injuries.
Under this situation, he also had a lot of contact with the innate true energy in Lu Miaozi's body to explore what it was that he was missing.
Hearing this, Lu Miaozi felt a little embarrassed, but she couldn't refuse. She could only nodded silently and closed her eyes as if she was unwilling to talk to Meng Xiuyuan.
Meng Xiuyuan felt happy at the sight, he just thought that this old man was quite interesting. He immediately stopped irritating him with words and just silently poured out his true energy, using the healing method that he had refined for two lifetimes to bring luck to Lu Miaozi.
Under the wash of his vast zhenqi, Lu Miaozi's complexion improved significantly within a short period of time.
"Little brother, how did you get so angry..."
Seeing this strange scene, Lu Miaozi hesitated for a long time, and finally, regardless of his status and demeanor, he asked Meng Xiuyuan.
"Haha, just practice casually.
By the way, old sir. I noticed that there seems to be a rather special Qi in your meridians that has been eroding your body. Could this be..."
Meng Xiuyuan laughed, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally changing the topic.
When Lu Miaozi heard Meng Xiuyuan say this, his face immediately became solemn, his brows furrowed, he nodded and replied:
"Yes, this is the demonic energy of that witch Zhu Yuyan.
For more than 20 years, these strands of true energy have been lurking in my meridians, like gangrene attached to the bones, which is difficult to get rid of and tortures me every moment.
Therefore, I only have a few years left to live, and I hope you, little brother, can grant my last wish..."
Meng Xiuyuan heard this and immediately interrupted before he could finish speaking:
"Old sir, I think the content of our transaction can be changed.
Putting aside Zhu Yuyan, I may be able to cure your injuries alone."
"What?!"
Lu Miaozi was shocked when he heard this, but immediately shook his head and said to Meng Xiuyuan:
"Little brother, it's not that I look down on you, it's just that I was really hurt too deeply. Even Ning Daoqi couldn't help me heal..."
Meng Xiuyuan did not explain, but simply said:
"Let me try, it won't be worse than it is now.
However, as we said before, this is a transaction..."
Seeing Meng Xiuyuan's confident attitude, and thinking about all the miraculous things that had happened to him before, Lu Miaozi immediately felt a surge of hope in his heart for no apparent reason. He had not felt such hope in more than twenty years.
"Little brother, if you can really heal my injury, then you will be my great benefactor, Lu Miaozi.
No matter what the deal is, I will try my best to repay you!"
Meng Xiuyuan nodded when he heard the sound and said nothing, but suddenly felt in his heart that this scene had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.
The seriously injured old man wants to entrust his hatred, healing, gratitude, and teaching martial arts...
These many similarities made Meng Xiuyuan think of his senior brother Wu Yazi in his previous life, and Li Qingluo who died under his hands, and he couldn't help but feel extremely emotional for a while.
After a while, Meng Xiu suddenly came to Lu Miaozi from a distance and said:
"Old sir, do you have a daughter? Have you taught her the principles of life?"
Lu Miaozi was quite confused when he heard this. After thinking for a long time, he thought that Meng Xiuyuan's young boy Mu Shaoai had fallen in love. He couldn't help laughing and sighed that he finally found something normal about the boy in front of him, and immediately replied:
"To be honest, little brother, I do have a daughter.
However, I am not quite qualified as a father, so I cannot easily talk to her.
Brother Meng is endowed with extraordinary talent, a talented person, and has a kind heart. He is truly a rare good man in the world.
If you are really interested, I can ask her mother and arrange for you two children to have more contact..."
Meng Xiuyuan was greatly embarrassed when he heard this. He didn't expect Lu Miaozi to think about this, so he quickly waved his hand and tried to explain.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a handsome little girl walked out of the bamboo forest path, looking fiercely at the two people who were doing exercises to heal their injuries.
