Chapter 149: Martial Arts Refining Qi
On this day, the Liu Family Courtyard.
There were gusts of fists and numerous figures.
Liu Ziwen was leading five high-level warriors to compete with Song Changming.
It was said that they were sparring, but in fact they were just practicing boxing with Song Changming.
Under the siege of many people, Song Changming was alone and still dealt with it easily.
After a while, the five Sixth Realm warriors had no strength to fight anymore.
Liu Ziwen was able to hold on for a little longer between Song Changming's fists, but he was quickly defeated.
"In the extreme state of Qi Transformation, the bones are as heavy as mountains and the strength exceeds ten thousand kilograms. As expected, the bone forging has been completed!"
Liu Dingsheng on the side stroked his long white beard and nodded.
"Changming, congratulations."
Song Changming stopped his hand and said with a smile: "After all, it can't be hidden from Mr. Liu's eyes. I was seen through right away."
"Haha, my eyes are not dull. You just broke through and your aura was still unstable. You can tell at a glance that you have broken through. If my strength had not declined too much in my old age, I would definitely be gesticulating with you when I was young." Liu Dingsheng Hehe laughed.
Compared with two years ago, Liu Dingsheng actually changed little. Apart from the fact that his energy and blood had declined a bit, he still looked energetic and capable.
This is also one of the benefits of practicing martial arts.
Most of the people who practice martial arts have strong and extraordinary physiques, and they also appear to live a long life. Even in their old age, there are very few who are ignorant.
"Chang Ming's martial arts qualifications are probably not inferior to those of the unborn disciples of the hidden sect." Liu Ziwen rubbed his sore fists and sighed.
In the few punches exchanged just now, if Song Changming hadn't restrained his strength, the bones of his fists would have been broken.
In the bone-forging extreme state, the bones of the body are as hard as hundreds of forged fine iron, which is far beyond what he can compare with.
"Well, even if it's not as good as the most outstanding ones among the hidden sects, it's definitely not bad!" Liu Dingsheng nodded.
"Zhang Ming is at a disadvantage because he started practicing martial arts too late and his time is short. In addition, he does not have a good background to support his cultivation, otherwise his current strength will definitely be even more outstanding!"
When Liu Dingsheng said this, he was comparing Song Changming to the heroes of the world, not just to Donglai County.
The most intuitive standard of measurement is age and existing strength.
Now Song Changming has passed his thirties. To the outside world, a thirty-year-old extreme martial artist would be considered extremely talented in any place in the world, and there are very few people who can do it.
But if we compare Song Changming's current martial arts achievements with the best young people in the world, first of all, he is already too old and does not have an advantage.
Being from a grassroots background also greatly limited Song Changming's progress in martial arts training. This is something Liu Dingsheng has always felt sorry for Song Changming.
He wanted to see what kind of outstanding performance Song Changming would have if he found a fertile soil and a platform space for him to grow.
Come to think of it, it must be much stronger than it is now.
Compared with those young leaders of the world, the biggest difference between Song Changming now is that his starting point is too low.
Coming from a poor peasant family, it was as low as dust.
Song Changming's today's martial arts achievements were all due to himself, which was already a miracle in Liu Dingsheng's eyes.
Liu Dingsheng sighed for Song Changming in his heart, feeling that his background had delayed Song Changming from shining brightly.
Song Changming himself didn't care too much about this. He had a long time to spend arbitrarily and was not afraid of being delayed.
The difference in his background only meant that his cultivation would be slower, and there would be more setbacks and hardships on the martial arts road. Many cultivation-related materials would require him to plan and fight for them by himself, or even fight for them.
And these are not unacceptable.
The long years mean that he will eventually encounter opportunities again and again, and can trial and error infinitely until he reaches the highest peak.
Therefore, time stands behind him and is his most powerful backer.
Even those dazzling and peerless geniuses who could overwhelm him will eventually pass through his eyes like comets.
Looking back a few years later, it will never change, the bright moon hanging high in the sky will only be him!
"Zi Wen, go and bring the chessboard. I haven't played with Chang Ming for a few days." Liu Dingsheng waved.
The older he gets, the more obsessed he is with chess. When asked, he said that the chess game encompasses everything and contains the principles of heaven and earth, just like enlightenment.
As one of Liu Dingsheng's old rivals, Song Changming couldn't understand this at all.
In his eyes, the chessboard is just a chessboard and the chess pieces are chess pieces, with no special meaning.
Just talking about chess skills, under Liu Dingsheng's supervision, he actually improved every year. He could win one or two games of ten games, and he was barely able to be Liu Dingsheng's opponent, and he would not be considered an abuser. Liu Dingsheng also loved playing chess with Song Changming the most, and the relationship between the two gradually grew closer through each game of chess.
Now, for Song Changming, the relationship between the two can be regarded as both a teacher and a friend.
During the pause, Song Changming suddenly asked: "Senior, you once said that you can practice martial arts only when you have reached the ultimate level of physical training. But now that I have the martial arts, why am I making no progress in practicing it?"
In the past two years, he would take out the Wind Dragon Divine Sword Technique from time to time, study it carefully, and analyze the martial arts scriptures word for word.
He doesn't need to fully understand the martial arts, he just needs to find a way to successfully enter the martial arts into the martial arts column on his panel, and if he can gain experience, it will be considered a success.
However, until today, he has not been able to display this martial art in his personal panel.
Even though he had trained his bones to the extreme, he still failed.
This made him wonder whether the methods used to practice martial arts in the past would not work when used in martial arts.
Maybe, you really need guidance from a famous teacher, and he is no exception? Can we only go to Gu Wenhui for help?
If this is the case, it would be a bit tricky.
For the ambitious Gu Wenhui, it was okay to cooperate occasionally and each get what they needed, but he did not want to completely surrender to others and work for them.
Especially now that his martial arts strength is enough to protect himself, it is even more unnecessary.
Therefore, today, with confusion, he found Liu Dingsheng, hoping that this well-informed old man could solve his doubts.
"Martial art is different from martial arts. The two are even different from the source. Therefore, if you want to practice, you need to abandon many previous martial arts training experiences and start from scratch."
Liu Dingsheng slowed down his moves and explained to Song Changming.
"Martial arts lies in momentum, sword posture, sword posture, and fist posture. To practice the posture to the extreme is to achieve perfection, while martial arts lies in intention. It is above the posture, which is deeper and more powerful."
"Meaning" Song Changming listened attentively. In the annotations of the martial arts secret book, he repeatedly mentioned the "meaning" spoken by Liu Dingsheng.
But he only listened and watched, and never experienced the so-called "meaning" personally, so he still didn't understand what it was.
All he knew was that the martial arts skills he had acquired were based on this 'sword intent'.
"In addition, martial arts refines the body and martial arts refines the qi. This is the second biggest difference, and it is also the focus of your cultivation after reaching the extreme state." Liu Dingsheng continued.
Song Changming nodded.
To put it simply, it is the second martial arts training track reopened by martial artists when their physical bodies have been tempered to the limit and cannot be promoted.
This is what Liu Dingsheng calls Qi refining.
Qi refining is about practicing internal Qi, which can be transformed into substantial energy through martial arts, which can penetrate the body and come out with great power.
"I think these are also described in your martial art secret record, so I won't say more. The key is that before refining Qi, you need to open up the sea of the underworld, condense and cultivate the spirit, and have reached the ability of inner vision. Refining Qi, controlling Qi, and understanding the artistic conception of martial art," Liu Dingsheng said.
In his early years, due to a feud between Jianghu and Jianghu, his body's meridians were damaged, and he suffered from hidden diseases. He missed the best opportunity to refine his Qi, and finally stopped cultivating the martial arts at the extreme level of physical training.
This is the biggest regret in his life.
But it's not that he didn't have the opportunity to refine Qi, and he also knew a lot about Qi refining.
"So, it's because I didn't activate the Nether Sea to condense my spirit that I couldn't practice that martial art?" Song Changming immediately grasped the key point.
"Eighty percent of it is like this. If you can't look inside with your mind and sense the existence of inner Qi, you will naturally be unable to refine Qi, let alone understand the mystery of martial arts." Liu Dingsheng nodded.
Song Changming understood now.
The connection between body refining and qi refining is not seamless. There is also a project in between to open up the underworld and condense the spirit, which no warrior can ignore.
This is also a piece of training content that is not described in the martial arts.
If Liu Dingsheng hadn't told him today, he might still be confused and not know the source of the problem.
This is also the importance of having a good master.
Song Changming had no one to guide him and kept working behind closed doors. Naturally, he had no way of knowing these things.
And if a master is there to teach you step by step, these cultivation matters will be understood early on without asking.
All I can say is that luckily he still has Liu Dingsheng by his side, who can still answer his questions.
Otherwise, he would have no choice but to search for those qi-refining masters all over the world to solve his doubts.
