Chapter 144 Yin Yang Drink, Guarding the Important Life
Almost at the same time when Chen Chuan received the approval of his application, Tai Dongwei and others also received a notice from the review team on behalf of the school, requiring them to rush to the designated location within six months to take the unlimited defense certificate assessment.
However, this time they are taking the C certificate exam, which is not that complicated. The examination location will be decided temporarily based on the time period of the examination.
It didn't matter to Tai Dongwei. After all, they were accompanying him to take the exam. They just had to wait for the mutual aid association to notify them, take the exam together and try not to pass. After all, the mutual aid association paid in advance, so the matter had to be handled well, right?
Looking at it from a positive perspective, being able to let them accompany him to take the exam was a sign of trust in them. One more unlimited defense certificate or one less unlimited defense certificate would not narrow the gap between them and the powerful disciples, but would even make it more dangerous. As a third-year student, he was well aware of the incident two years ago.
"Senior Shen..."
He couldn't help but sigh. He had received help from Shen Zheng in the past. Even though he had joined the mutual aid society a long time ago, Shen Zheng did not look down on him. As an orphan, he truly felt the kindness from others at that time.
At that time, he had a glimmer of hope in his heart, expecting Shen Zheng to lead everyone to break this cage, but even such a person could not do that, but fell on the road to success. Sometimes he would think, if Senior Shen could go to Central City at the beginning, perhaps everything would be different?
But that is just wishful thinking after all.
He laughed at himself, threw the list on the table, and stood up to walk towards the training room.
In the Nian residence, after Chen Chuan had read all the exam materials, he called Cheng Zitong and said, "Teacher, I got the stuff."
Cheng Zitong was silent for a while before saying, "Okay, I'll tell you a place. You go there first and we'll talk about it when you get there. Remember it..." As he spoke, he gave a place.
After Chen's biography was completed, Cheng Zitong said, "Just tell me my name when you get there."
Chen Chuan said hello.
After hanging up the phone, he went back and took out a map to look at it, then rode his bike towards the south of the city. Half an hour later, he arrived at the place and found that this place was a teahouse on the surface, but was actually a private martial arts gym.
There are many such venues in the south of the city. Some wealthy fighters will set up one, like the training hall where Senior Sister He Nanhe was located last time. They are all semi-open in nature, and generally only invite fighters who are familiar or acquainted to come here to exchange skills and enjoy tea and the scenery.
After parking the car, he arrived at the door and reported Cheng Zitong's name to the security guard. The security captain said, "Is this Brother Chen? Supervisor Cheng has said hello. Please come upstairs."
Chen Chuan entered the training hall, changed his shoes and went upstairs. The layout was antique and full of natural interest. There was also an incense burner lit. He walked to the riverside, where there was a long cushioned couch.
He sat down here. It was quite high up, and outside the round open archway he could see green bamboo and the flowing river. The wind blew in, gently swaying the bamboo leaves and curtains, and the tassels on the curtains also fluttered gently. He felt very relaxed, sitting here quietly, not thinking about anything.
It seemed like just a moment had passed when he heard familiar footsteps. He looked at his watch, but before he knew it, a quarter of an hour had passed.
Cheng Zitong walked in with a briefcase under his arm. Chen Chuanxiang greeted him, "Teacher." Cheng Zitong smiled and said, "How is it? Isn't this place nice?"
Chen Chuan said: "The environment is very good."
Cheng Zitong came to the couch and sat down, leaning against the cushions, getting comfortable, and said, "I will be here to guide you for the next few days. You only need to come back to school occasionally."
Chen Chuan could sense his intention, picked up the teapot and poured him a cup of tea, saying, "Is it to cover up the assessment?"
"You have to be careful." Cheng Zitong used his hand to press him down, "Don't worry, I'll leave soon, you sit down."
After Chen Chuan sat down, he continued, "The assessment will take quite a while. If you suddenly disappear for a while, it will attract attention. Especially in the second half of the semester, many senior recommended students will graduate. They will pay special attention to anyone who may be competing. Although you are only a first-year student, you should be cautious.
During this time, you can disappear from time to time, and then show up at the company or school, and tell others that I'm giving you special training. No one will suspect anything then. What do you think?"
Chen Chuanshuo said, "Teacher's arrangement is very appropriate, and I have no objections." He took out his own information and handed it to Cheng Zitong. Cheng Zitong took it, glanced through it, and had an idea. He looked up and asked, "How long do you think it will take before you can proceed to the second level of training?"
Chen Chuan thought for a moment and said, "As a student, it will take about half a month to a month."
"It won't take long, so I'll guide you here. The second limit..."
Cheng Zitong patted his knees and said with emotion, "I never thought I could teach a student like you. Some people are still busy instructing students and never let them go to school, saying that the current rules are not suitable for their students. Why should they let them go to Wuyi?"
He took out some information from the briefcase he was carrying and said, "Here are some reference materials before and after entering the second limit. Take a look at them first.
In the old days, learning was all about master-disciple communication. No one knew what was missing or what was extra. Now we're summarizing our experiences, clarifying the threads, and recording them in text. The number of successful students is a hundred times or a thousand times greater than before. Only with enough fighters can we push the level of martial arts forward. Treating the secrets of the old days like treasure is putting the cart before the horse."
Chen Chuan knew that Cheng Zitong was full of complaints every time he talked about this topic, and he couldn't help but complain a few words. He must have suffered a lot from these old-fashioned rules in the past.
He picked up the materials and flipped through them. These were some useful notes and experiences left by previous students. They were all printed and looked cheap, but the content was very valuable.
Cheng Zitong packed up his things, took a sip of the tea on the table, and stood up. "I have something to do at school, so I'll go back first. If you have any questions, feel free to call me. If I don't understand, you can write to Lao He."
Chen Chuan stood up and said, "I'll see the teacher off."
After sending Cheng Zitong away, he came back and stayed in this training hall.
For the next period of time, he would go to the training hall below for his daily training, and come upstairs to read books, drink tea, and appreciate the scenery in the distance during his breaks.
In fact, this training gym can also provide some experienced fighters for sparring, but this requires extra money. He doesn't need it yet. If he needs a sparring partner, he can just find a few students when he shows up at the school. Sometimes he can even find a coach, as their level and vision are usually higher than those from outside.
Sometimes he would take time to visit the company and sort out past commissions. Over time, people in the school got used to his way of doing things.
More than half a month passed like this, and by the end of April, he felt that it was almost impossible to make any progress on the first level. At this time, there were only two bone beads left from Qisai.
He could feel that no matter how much stimulation he received, the growth rate of the alienated tissue on the fascia and bones would be very slow.
This is not because the alienated tissue has stopped growing, but because it is restrained in a certain direction by breathing techniques and stance strength. However, once it is released, it will grow rapidly in other directions.
Being able to achieve this level shows that he has achieved a very proficient level of control and mastery over the alienated tissues inside his body. It is like a fist that can be thrown out and retracted, but it is not something that can be released but not retracted, but it cannot be retracted completely either, otherwise there will be no strength to go out.
From the records Cheng Zitong left him, he could feel that this was the unique control power of the "Zhou Yuan Jin Fa". Even if the alienated tissue in a certain part was slightly out of control, it could be restrained by utilizing the alienated tissue in other places.
Others are different. They can only be cautious when stimulating the alienated tissue and push forward slowly. Once they can't control it, it's like riding a mad horse and running wildly. They can only try their best to protect themselves. As for where to go, they have no choice. However, if they are not careful, it is possible to cause the body's functions to lose control and be damaged again, so they often need to be extremely cautious.
To reach the second limit, he would need to change the medication and breathing method to redirect the alienated tissue. Only a higher level of breathing method could guide it to where he needed it when he released it.
The first limit, in the old days, is "accumulating the true seed", and the second limit, also has a saying, is called "guarding the important life"!
Simply put, a fighter is like cultivating a second life. Once they reach this level, they can greatly improve their combat effectiveness.
At this stage, the focus is not on consumption, but on protection. Only when you protect and maintain it well, your life will belong to your own.
The key to the first step is to "build tendon bridges and grow bone beams." The alienated tissue primarily grows alienated fascia and bones. The second limit is to "activate the six internal organs and nourish the five viscera." The alienated tissue spreads and alienates within the five internal organs, providing the fighter with more abundant physical energy and a stronger body.
No matter how strong the muscles and bones are, the nutrients they supply, the blood flowing through the body, the energy that permeates the body, and even every time they exert strength, all these consumptions require strong internal organs to support them.
This is also why people at the first limit can only exert their strength a few times in a battle, because their internal organs cannot bear it if they exert more force. There are many such examples among those who have fought with him before.
After going over the key points about entering the second limit in his mind, Chen Chuan decided not to wait any longer and try to enter this limit today.
He stood up, opened a box that Cheng Zitong had sent him yesterday, took out a cup of viscous colorless liquid that had been mixed inside, and placed it in front of him.
This thing is called "Dan Shui" and it is a medicine that helps fighters enter the second limit.
After drinking it, it can be used to stimulate the internal organs and accelerate the growth of alienated tissues there. In the old times, this thing was called "Yin Yang Drink", which means drinking it in one gulp, or separating Yin and Yang.
This is also because the blending level was not high at that time, and it was regarded as a secret of each school, and it all relied on personal experience to master it, so before drinking it, it was necessary to consider the fate of the day.
There is a saying that the movement of days has "sixty-six festivals and ninety-nine meetings". Due to the different methods of cultivation, it is necessary to select a special day that suits oneself and drink this cup of Yin and Yang drink within the prescribed time.
This is not unreasonable, because the activity levels of human internal organs vary according to different time periods. If it is placed on a larger time and space scale, and is coordinated with the rhythm of the four seasons and even the movement of the stars, then there will be a feeling of following the will of heaven and moving with the flow, which provides great psychological support.
This is not necessary now. This cup of Danshui is actually a nutrient solution rich in high-energy nutrients, but it also contains some toxic substances.
After drinking it, the elixir is first broken down and absorbed by the stomach and intestines, entering the bloodstream and then transported to cells throughout the body. The liver and kidneys then transform and filter out toxic substances. The fighter must immediately mobilize the heart and lungs through breathing techniques and Qi-strengthening techniques. This process involves all internal organs, strongly stimulating the underlying alienated tissue that has already infiltrated there, causing it to spread and grow under the influence of the breathing force.
The reason why this stage was difficult in the old days was that people couldn't find the right degree. A little too much would easily lead to toxicity and overdose, and the consequences were self-evident. A little too little would not achieve the purpose of stimulation, and repeated drinking might cause the body to adapt, thus stopping here.
The most important thing is that this water is very difficult to prepare. Various medicinal materials are very rare and the price is very high. Most people cannot afford it. Of course, it is different now. As long as it is within the prescribed dosage range, the college will provide it for free.
Chen Chuan looked at the cup of elixir. Because he had far more alienated tissue in his body than other students of the same period, he had Cheng Zitong deliberately increase the toxicity when mixing it, otherwise it would not achieve the desired stimulation. In fact, even if it was a little too much, it was nothing, because he had his second self, and he could bear the excessive damage.
He reached out, picked up the cup, and drank it all in one gulp.
