It would be a lie to say that Su Tong was not nervous about starting formal meditation practice. Although he had already memorized the Tiger Roaring Technique, which only had more than 20 pages and less than 2,000 words, he was still solemn when it came to formal practice.
Open the secret book and place it in front of you, with your five hearts facing the sky, and place your hands on your knees as described in the book.
Observe the eyes, nose, and heart, and meditate that there is a stream of qi in the body. After rising from the Dantian, it begins to flow toward the Taiyin meridian, and then flows toward the three meridians of Jueyin meridian and Shaoyin meridian. In Qiu Laoquan's words, what?
If this current of air can open up these three tendons, he will be considered a junior martial artist.
After becoming a junior martial artist, if you can open up the three meridians of Yangming Large Intestine Meridian, Shaoyang Triple Burner Meridian, and Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian, you will become an intermediate martial artist. If you can open up the Yangming Stomach Meridian and Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian, you will become an intermediate martial artist.
The Taiyang Bladder Meridian, Taiyin Spleen Meridian, Jueyin Liver Meridian, and Shaoyin Kidney Meridian are the senior martial arts masters of the Eight Meridians.
Finally, if you can get through the two channels of Ren and Du, congratulations, you are already a martial arts master. The entire Yan Kingdom will be at your disposal, and even the governor will treat you with courtesy.
Sounds simple?
Su Tong once asked Qiu Laoquan this question. At that time, Qiu Laoquan replied with a sneer: "The first step alone will block 90% of the people. The second step will not block 90% of the people. The next step will block 90% of the people."
The same goes for the third and fourth steps, so even though the population of Dayan Kingdom is now over one billion, there will never be more than a hundred people who can become martial arts masters. Do you still think this is easy?"
after an hour
Su Tong opened his eyes, "What's going on? What's going on? I don't even feel the slightest sense of breath in my body. Is it really like what Qiu Laoquan said? Is it possible to be called one of those people who has no sense of breath all his life?"
?"
Unconvinced, Su Tong closed his eyes again...
Three hours later, Su Tong's eyes showed a tired look. For four hours, his Dantian didn't even feel at all. This was a big blow to Su Tong, who was ambitious and vowed to become a master.
After thinking for a long time, he shook his head helplessly, "Try for a few more days. If you still don't feel anything, you can only try to get some body-building pills like Qiu Laoquan said."
After these days of inquiring, Su Tong learned that using body-building pills to assist cultivation is also a way, but the cost required is overwhelming. This method can only be used by children of aristocratic families who have too much money and no place to spend it, or those who have no place to spend it.
Only the children of high-ranking officials in the imperial court can enjoy it.
In addition to the huge cost, using this method of cultivation also has a big drawback. As the saying goes, medicine is three-part poison. If you take too many body-building pills, your body will become drug-resistant.
Generally speaking, the achievements of martial arts masters who rely on drugs are very limited. It is the end of being a middle-level martial arts master. It is basically impossible to become a high-level martial arts master. Therefore, Su Tong really does not want to take this path unless he has to.
Su Tong picked up the watch placed beside the bed and looked at it. It was already two o'clock in the morning, and then he felt sleepy.
Just as he was about to stand up, a sore and numb feeling suddenly rose from his legs. He was caught off guard and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he was quick to hold on to the table next to him, so he didn't fall over.
It turned out that sitting for too long caused the blood to not circulate well, resulting in numbness in the legs and feet.
Su Tong sat on the bed with difficulty and twisted his legs. It took more than ten minutes before he recovered.
After his legs returned to normal, he got out of bed, went to the corner and lifted the cover on it, and found that the stone had returned to its dark green luster. He looked at the electric meter hanging on the wall. It was spinning very fast.
The turntable almost stopped and returned to its original slow state.
Su Tong put the stone back into his wrist again, went to bed and planned to sleep, but he was a little irritable and tossed and turned for half an hour and still couldn't fall asleep. Finally, he simply sat up and crossed his legs, putting his wrists on his knees.
It changed back into a posture with five hearts in the air.
Since you can't sleep, let's practice some more and kill some time.
It's just that this time when he first started meditating, he immediately felt something different. A warm air began to rise in his Dantian. When this warm air rose in his Dantian, Su Tong felt warm all over his body. That feeling.
It's simply not too comfortable.
"This...this is the feeling of Qi. I actually feel Qi?"
In fact, the so-called sense of qi is actually what martial arts practitioners call true qi. The reason why martial arts practitioners are stronger than ordinary people is because of this extra thing. Su Tong did not expect that true qi would actually be produced in his body in just one night.
Generally speaking, it is impossible for people who have just started to practice to generate true energy immediately. At best, they can only feel it a little bit. It takes time to slowly cultivate it before they can produce a sense of true energy (true energy). Even so, this
The true energy is also extremely weak and requires a lot of time to cultivate slowly, just like it takes time to fill a reservoir.
The surprise came so suddenly, Su Tong's thoughts suddenly became confused, and the air flow retracted back to his dantian.
"What's going on? Why did it shrink back?"
Su Tong no longer dared to think wildly this time, and he meditated honestly. Soon the true energy began to rise from the Dantian again, and began to flow along the lunar meridian under Su Tong's guidance.
Su Tong remembered that Qiu Laoquan once said that after the true energy is generated in the body, you can try to attack the meridians, but this is a long process, which may be months, years, or even a lifetime, so practice
You must not be in a hurry when doing it, but take your time. Otherwise, if you accidentally cause confusion in your Qi, congratulations, you will be possessed by the devil.
Su Tong controlled his true energy and came to the vicinity of the lunar meridian and began to test carefully, intending to let his true energy come into contact with the meridians to see what it felt like.
But something that surprised him happened. When he controlled his true energy to touch the lunar meridian, the original barrier across the meridian dissipated without a trace like spring snow caught in the scorching sun.
"What...what's going on? Why is the barrier missing?"
Su Tong, who was originally prepared to be hit all over his head, was confused, but he subconsciously continued to move forward with his true energy, and soon came to the Chaojueyin meridian. As a result, the Chaojueyin meridian was still easily hit.
After opening up, the following are the Shaoyin meridian, Yangming large intestine meridian, Shaoyang triple burner meridian, and Taiyang small intestine meridian. When Su Tong opened his eyes again, three hours had passed.
"I'm going to...become an intermediate martial artist?"
At this moment, Su Tong was in a state of confusion. He had transformed from an ordinary person who had never practiced martial arts to an intermediate martial artist overnight. He could not even dream of such a good feeling.
If he hadn't felt that infuriating energy reminding him, Su Tong would have thought it was his hallucination. He tried to raise his fist and hit the bed board beneath him.
"boom……"
In a burst of dust, the bed board Su Tong was sitting on collapsed...
