Chapter 924: Fu Qi Gathering Outside
Chen Chuan came to the independent meditation room on the upper floor of the villa. After sitting down here, he made a cup of hot tea and began to carefully look at the practice method he had exchanged.
The method is very detailed, and there are some annotations and supplements from old times. There is also a data index at the back. Because he paid the corresponding platform currency, any relevant index information on the platform can be found and browsed in full.
It seems that the value of the platform currency is still very high.
He spent an afternoon reading through the entire cultivation method. He did not omit any of the quoted materials, and read through them one by one. This took a long time, and it took him two days just to read through them. However, the benefit was that he had a more thorough understanding of how to practice.
The method in front of him was definitely created by a master. It combined the ancient and modern cultivation methods very well, discarded many unnecessary elaborations and sectarian terms, and expressed it in the most understandable and simple words. The expression was very thorough and appropriate, and people could understand it at a glance.
If one wants to cultivate to the realm of longevity, the first thing is of course to accumulate energy, and have a strong enough body and mind. Without these, it is impossible to carry more powerful forces.
The two major styles he practiced before could be said to be the foundation for this. After mastering the two major styles, his alienated organization underwent two consecutive transformations, and his already extremely powerful foundation was further developed.
Although this also brings a certain degree of difficulty in improvement, and it may be more difficult than ordinary fighters to reach certain levels, he can accept this.
From the perspective of method, after a fighter breaks through the realm, he should first consolidate himself and allow his breath to flow through and settle. After completely breaking through the limit and transforming, under the premise of always accumulating self-energy, the next step is to stabilize his own strength. This stage is called "subduing the dragon and the tiger."
According to the martial arts, before a fighter achieves immortality, his physical fitness is actually affected by the supply of energy and nutrition, so his breath will fluctuate unsteadily, which in turn affects combat and practice.
The first thing to do is to overcome and sort out this hurdle.
For him, this feeling does exist. His breath has a wave-like ups and downs, especially in battle. Specifically, with his breathing, the power will rise and then fall back, and it is difficult to maintain a stable limit.
In combat, this will actually have some impact, but it can be adjusted through self-breathing, or simply use this ups and downs to exert strength.
This phenomenon is actually very strong in him, while it seems weaker in others, but this is precisely because his own strength is powerful, far beyond that of ordinary fighters. This is not something that people in a low-level strength state can feel, but is a trouble that only people in a high-level strength state will have.
Just as a gurgling stream cannot be compared with a turbulent river.
In order to adjust and overcome it, there are many shortcuts listed above. He took a quick look and found that they can still be regarded as both new and old methods.
Among the traditional methods, the simplest one is to obtain the alienated tissue of a hybrid creature called "Kui Pi". There is an attached membrane behind the white forehead on its top. As long as it is eaten and combined with some ancient medicines, it can be harmonized.
In the past, the Xuanjiao sect would raise this kind of creatures, and now some schools with a long history will catch them for their descendants to use. If you choose this method, the platform can directly help you exchange them without paying extra platform coins.
The disadvantage is that the effect of this thing depends entirely on its own effect, and it is also a matter of luck. If one doesn't work, you may need two, or even more. Moreover, the stronger the fighter is, the less obvious the effect may be.
If this is not an option, then one can achieve this by swallowing some kind of medicine from the old state religion. The disadvantage is that these medicines were all prepared in the old times, and now almost no one except the old imperial family knows the exact formula, so it is hard to say how much effect this thing can have.
There is one that is relatively reliable, which is the two sets of methods listed here. One set is from the Xuanjiao, called "The Golden Secret of Longevity", and the other set is from the Zenjiao, called "The Lotus Mantra of Calming the Heart". Both of them can stabilize the breath after practicing, and have some other wonderful uses.
Even in the old days, both religions emphasized karma and nature. Without these, one could not enter the sect. Therefore, in terms of value alone, these two things are actually the lowest among all methods.
After that, the methods became a little strange, such as using some unique esoteric rituals to assist in practice; or sitting in front of an ancient strange stone for a night; there is also a strange thing called "human skin mirror", where as long as you enter it and stay overnight, and then tear off your own skin, you can stabilize yourself.
However, several of these methods are somewhat unconventional. Not only are they unstable, but they may also bring some strange side effects. They are only options when there is really no other choice.
The new technology relies entirely on modern biotechnology, requiring long-term long-term injections of certain drugs and exposure to a specific environment. Providing this specialized environment is also expensive and requires additional agreements with companies and governments.
In general, its effect is more stable than the methods of the old era, but the fighter's own information and data may also be mastered by certain forces.
After looking at it carefully, he felt that the best way was to rely on himself to subdue it. He could try to practice the two methods of Xuanjiao and Zen. After all, some of the methods he had practiced before were derived from the "Taibai Realm" of Xuanjiao. Even if he failed to practice it, he could still refer to it.
In fact, just based on the main teaching of the exercises and the many information indexes, even if you don’t read the rest, it is worth the four platform coins.
Although he has not started practicing yet, he now has a strong confidence that it will not take much time for him to pass this level, perhaps ten days or half a month.
The key actually lies in the later part. After the breath is subdued, the next step is to "connect the sky bridge". After passing this level, you will be able to break through the realm of "Changshengguan".
This step requires condensing the "external appearance". The key to the fourth limit is to "maintain the true form and gather the spiritual appearance". The external appearance can not only be used for fighting, but the most important thing is for the fighter's practice.
According to the description of the practice method and his understanding, the external appearance can adapt to the environment of the opposite world to the greatest extent, so as to "return to the original nature and nourish oneself."
The advantage here is that the deeper you go in your practice, the more solid and powerful your external appearance will be. Even if it is just a human appearance, you can use it to fight against enemies who are more than ten meters tall, and you will be more powerful and not afraid of being injured.
Chen Chuan had fought against demons and ghosts before, and knew the advantages of being larger in size. Although he had relied on his speed to escape and gain some advantage that day, it would not be so easy to defeat the demons and ghosts if they were at their peak.
And the appearance he showed when he fought with Feng Heshou that day should have meant that he had entered this level. However, this person had not yet reached the realm of Changshengguan, and the transformation that could widen the gap between them was not completed, and his foundation was not comparable to his, so the combat effectiveness he displayed was not strong.
Therefore, the foundation is the root of everything. If he can gather the external ministers, his combat effectiveness can obviously be raised to a higher level.
Of course, this was a later step for him. What he needed to do now was to subdue the dragon and tiger energy as soon as possible, so he immediately signed a confidentiality agreement through Jie Ping and asked for the "Golden Secret of Longevity" and the Zen "Lotus Mantra of Calming the Heart".
Then he read it and saw that the two spells as well as the corresponding talismans, scriptures and visualization objects would be mailed separately and would be delivered almost tomorrow. In this way, he could start the new stage of practice as early as the day after tomorrow.
On the other side, in the corridor of the lower city, Speaker Quan was sitting in an armored vehicle, surrounded by armed men with their heads and faces covered.
He looked at the glowing plants in the tunnel. He had moved to several places in the past few days. He was almost always running on the road, and hardly ever stopped for a moment. Even his sleep was spent in the car. Now he had no idea where he was.
A middle-aged man with a thick beard in the front seat turned around and said, "Speaker Quan, don't worry, we will definitely ensure your safety."
Speaker Quan said, "They've probably sealed off all the entrances and exits, right? If my predictions are correct, the Government Affairs Office will launch a large-scale search of the Lower Town. How are you going to handle this?"
The middle-aged man smiled, looking nonchalant. He said, "Even if the Government Affairs Office can block the exits, they can't put the right people in every place. In my opinion, there are loopholes everywhere.
Besides, the area of the Lower City is the same size as the surface area of the Central City. How many people can they get in? How can they conduct a search? Even if they were given ten days or half a month, they probably wouldn't be able to search the entire area, and that's assuming they don't clash with the gang members in the Lower City."
Speaker Quan nodded and said, "Well, it seems you have thought this through carefully."
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Of course. We are not making a hasty decision to go to the downtown area. We can guarantee your safety."
Speaker Quan said, "So where are we going?"
The middle-aged man did not answer directly, but only said: "You will know when the Speaker arrives. Anyway, we can guarantee your safety."
Speaker Quan said amiably, "Okay, I'll follow your arrangements."
The armored vehicle drove for over an hour, and the surrounding light sources gradually became scarce. Speaker Quan was old and drowsy. Not long after, the vehicle suddenly braked and stopped. He heard someone say, "Speaker, we've arrived."
Speaker Quan opened his cloudy eyes and walked down with the help of a logistics staff. As soon as he got outside, before he could even take in the surroundings, he saw a young man rushing up to him excitedly, shouting at him, "Dad!"
Speaker Quan was a little surprised, "Why are you here?" The person in front of him turned out to be his favorite youngest son. He remembered that only this youngest son reluctantly listened to him and left the central city.
The middle-aged man walked over and explained with a smile, "Oh, that's right. We found the young master in a marginal city. Since it's not safe outside, we simply brought him here for protection. This way, Speaker Quan can also take care of him. After all, we are just outsiders, aren't we?"
"Yes, Dad, they were very nice to me. They said they could rescue you and reunite our family, so I followed them." The young man seemed very happy, with an innocent look.
Speaker Quan looked deeply at the middle-aged man and said slowly, "Thank you very much."
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "You're welcome. Now, I'd like to ask for your cooperation. Once the international investigation team arrives, it will be time for you to step forward again."
