Chapter 37 Master
The step from coagulation to innate is a small bottleneck, without enough resources and talents, it is not so easy to step over.
Body quenching is to temper the muscles, bones and flesh, blood coagulation is to condense one's own qi and blood, and innate is to combine the two into one, so that the qi, blood, muscles and bones can be integrated into one body, and the body can be thoroughly refined, so that it does not contain a trace of impurities, like a baby's innate realm.
Body quenching and blood coagulation can only be regarded as ordinary Jianghu people. Only those who are congenital, although they are not considered masters in the Jianghu, but at least they can get on the table.
Even in a small place like Tongzhou Prefecture, Chu Zongguang, a congenital warrior, can establish a family. One can imagine what this realm represents.
Naturally, there is no need to worry about the realm of talented people, but if you don't have talent, you can only rely on understanding and perseverance to work hard.
After practicing martial arts for so long, Chu Xiu could tell that his talent could only be said to be ordinary, comparable to those of the Li family brothers.
His only advantage is that he has practiced innate kung fu. This kung fu method has improved Chu Xiu's foundation, making his foundation extremely solid and at the same time, his own cultivation speed has also become faster than that of martial artists of the same level.
Of course, his speed is only compared with ordinary warriors, and it is probably not enough to compare with those real geniuses.
So now Chu Xiu is very puzzled. Before this body of his own, he became the leader of the demon sect who caused troubles in the world. What kind of opportunity did he get in his previous life to be able to reach such a position.
Chu Xiu just thought about these things and didn't go any further.
In the arena, only absolute strength is the most important thing.
Just like what he said about Li Ze before, he is not strong enough, even if he is full of calculations, he can only make wedding dresses for others in the end.
Of course Chu Xiu would not make mistakes in this regard. Now that he got the Jasper Pill, Chu Xiu immediately began to practice in seclusion.
The vicissitudes of Tongzhou Mansion are not felt by ordinary people, but for warriors who are mixed in the rivers and lakes, Tongzhou Mansion has set off a wave of turmoil in the past two days.
They couldn't believe that the Li family, which had been rooted in Tongzhou Prefecture for a hundred years, had been wiped out, and it was the second child of the Chu family who did it all by himself.
Therefore, more people still think that the power of the Chu family should be helping Chu Xiu, and some even think that this is the result of Chu Zongguang's intention to let Chu Xiu take over as the head of the family and deliberately arrange for him.
After hearing this rumor, the members of the Chu family didn't know what to say. They were Chu Zongguang's attitude towards Chu Xiu.
And the most bizarre thing among them is that Ding Kaishan of Kaishan Wuguan was also killed, which made them a little bit confused, and all kinds of rumors arose, but the Chu family didn't care, anyway, they would be gone after two days up.
In fact, this is indeed the case. After half a month, no one on the street discussed this matter anymore.
And half a month later, Chu Xiu also came out of the retreat. He had already refined a bottle of Jasper Pill, and he did not touch the other two bottles for the time being.
The retreat also needs to be done step by step. After refining a whole bottle of Jasper Pill one after another, he needs to rest for a while to digest it.
After practicing the saber in the yard for a while, the energy and blood surged, and the heat rose from his body. Chu Xiu could already feel that his true energy had grown a lot.
Compared with when he first started cultivating, his true energy now is the difference between a stream and a big river.
Ma Kuo opened the courtyard door and walked in. When he saw Chu Xiu practicing his saber there, he laughed and said, "Young Master Chu, is he out of customs? His cultivation has improved."
Chu Xiu glanced at Ma Kuo and said, "You're not bad either. Judging by your appearance, you should be about to step into the blood coagulation state, right?"
Ma Kuo casually cupped his hands at Chu Xiu and said, "Thanks to your blessing, Mr. Chu, I eat well, sleep well, and provide pills. The blood coagulation level is only a matter of time.
I guess when I go back to the cottage, Feng Yidao and those old boys will regret it, why did you not find them, Mr. Chu? "
After Chu Xiu stepped into the blood coagulation realm, the blood coagulation pills were useless to Chu Xiu, so he gave Ma Kuo all the blood coagulation pills issued by the Chu family, which greatly improved Ma Kuo's strength.
After chatting with Chu Leisurely, Ma Kuo suddenly said, "By the way, Young Master Chu, recently three masters came to Tongzhou Mansion, and they are staying in your Chu family's inn, and they are all very strange."
"Oh? Expert? How tall?"
"I can't tell the specifics, but they are definitely in the realm above the innate!" Ma Kuo said in a deep voice.
Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows. If all of them are above innate, then they can be regarded as masters.
The entry level of martial arts is the three levels of body refining, which are body hardening, blood coagulation, and innate. These three realms mainly cultivate the physical body of warriors.
And above the three realms of body refinement is the Fifth Level of Controlling Qi. As the name suggests, the fifth level of Controlling Qi is no longer focused on the physical body, but also on one's own true energy.
The five levels of imperial qi are mainly: repairing internal and external gang qi, gathering three flowers, concentrating five qi, and uniting heaven and man.
The first level of inner gang, you can look at the meridians with true energy, showing every detail. After the cultivation is completed, the control over the physical body will reach an extreme.
The second level of outer gang, can refine true energy into gang qi, which can be released to hurt people, the short is several inches, and the length is several feet. Jianmang Daogang is extremely powerful.
The third stage is to gather the three flowers, to cultivate one's own energy to the peak, so as to reach the state where the three flowers gather at the top, and to greatly increase the control over the true energy.
The fourth step is to condense the five qi, cultivate the five qi in the internal organs, gather the dantian of the lower body, rush upward to the sea of consciousness on the top of the head, and reach the state of the five qi towards the original, the up and down are transparent, the internal force circulates, and the life is endless.
The fifth level is the unity of heaven and man, cultivating the physical body and true energy to the extreme, reaching the state of internal and external transparency, using the spirit as the guide, taking the breath as the foundation, and receiving the power of heaven and earth, this is the unity of heaven and man.
Only when you have reached the fifth level of imperial energy, you are qualified to be called a master in the Jianghu. Although Tongzhou Mansion is considered a big state mansion in Wei County, Tongzhou Mansion is sandwiched between the northern and southern Shangmang Mountains, which is relatively remote and ordinary. At that time, there were really no masters who would come, because the masters were not afraid of those bandits at all, and they dared to walk through Shangmang Mountain alone without passing through Tongzhou Mansion.
Now that these three outsiders suddenly came to Tongzhou Mansion, they would really attract attention.
But Chu Xiu didn't care, he said casually: "Maybe it's Dongqi or Beiyan's warriors. They didn't want to rest in the barren mountains when they crossed Shangmang Mountain, so they came to Tongzhou Mansion to rest."
Ma Kuo repeatedly shook his head and said: "Absolutely not, the reason why I noticed them and said they were strange is because these three people are hiding their own realms.
If I hadn't followed Pang Padang, I would have seen quite a few strong men, and I probably wouldn't have discovered that they were all at the fifth level of Qi control.
And these people are definitely not passing by. I asked the shopkeeper of the inn. They booked rooms in the inn for several days, and they dispersed during the day, and asked some low-level warriors in Tongzhou mansion one by one. A martial artist with the surname Zhang from Qi State, and he cultivates a kind of internal strength that tends to be mediocre, but focuses on accumulation. After the cultivation is complete, the internal strength is like a vast sea.
These few people are also interesting. Before Wei County was Wei State, and Wei State was biased towards Qi State. Before the country was destroyed, there were many warriors from Qi State who came here, and the surname Zhang was originally a common surname. There are so many people, as for the description of the internal strength is so vague, how could those low-level warriors know. "
However, after Ma Kuo said these words, Chu Xiu was shocked. The martial arts described by these three people was simply the vast sea mentality of his Chu family!
It's just that the internal strength is different from the moves, especially the Chu family's Hanhai mentality, which is mediocre and has no special characteristics, and it is only taught to direct descendants like Chu Xiu.
So in this way, not to mention outsiders, not many people in the Chu family know the characteristics of the Chu family's internal strength, and some even don't know their names.
Chu Xiu is almost 90% sure that the inner strength described by the other party is the Hanhai mental method, and Chu Xiu has also heard people say that the Chu family seems to be in Dongqi before, and they moved to Wei County Tongzhou Mansion more than 20 years ago. of.
It's just that Chu Zongguang didn't come alone, and he brought the whole Chu family with him, and the Chu family never changed their surnames, and they have always been surnamed Chu, which can be seen from the Chu family ancestral hall and the elders.
Adding all these coincidences together, Chu Xiu guessed that the other party was probably targeting the Chu family, and even he couldn't help but think in the direction of the Chu family's incident.
After all, three fighters with five levels of imperial qi can indeed cause a huge change to the Chu family.
"Take me to see those three warriors." Chu Xiu said in a deep voice.
Seeing something wrong with Chu Xiu's eyes, Ma Kuo vaguely guessed something, but he didn't ask any more questions, just nodded and took Chu Xiu to the inn.
Ma Kuo looks rough and bold, but in fact he is thick and thin, and he is a thoughtful person. Otherwise, Chu Xiu would not have specially selected Ma Kuo to help him.
Chu Xiu followed Ma Kuo to the inn. The two found a seat by the window on the second floor and sat down. They waited until noon. Ma Kuo whispered to Chu Xiu: "Mr. Those three are."
Chu Xiu followed Ma Kuo's gaze, and saw three warriors wearing coarse linen clothes and carrying burdens walking towards the door of the inn on the side of the street.
These three people looked ordinary, nothing unusual, and even their cultivation bases were restrained to the extreme. If Ma Kuo hadn't reminded them, Chu Xiu would have mistakenly thought that they were at the blood coagulation level at most.
The only thing that attracted the attention of these three people was that one of them had a ferocious welt on his face, from the corner of his eyebrow to his chin, spreading across the entire right side of his face.
It was pulled out with a gold wire and iron whip. Although it has healed, it still leaves a hideous scar, which looks a little scary.
If this person is really a master of the fifth level of controlling energy, then who can whip a whip on the face of a master of this level? It's almost an insult.
