Chapter 83: The Fourth Level of Qi Training
Gao Xian was very emotional. He had traveled to this body a year ago, when he was only at the second level of Qi training.
The original owner had to take the Domineering Red Blood Pill to barely break through.
Today, one year later, he broke through to the fourth level of Qi training effortlessly. The whole process was truly natural and logical.
The middle stage of Qi training, which was originally out of reach, was reached so easily! Gao Xian knew very well that it was not because of his amazing talent in cultivation that he could reach this stage.
With the help of tiger blood ointment, the flesh of the iron-scaled demon tiger, spiritual rice and elixirs, the guidance of a wise master, and his diligent practice, he finally achieved some success.
Gao Xian opened the Fengyue Baojian, and sure enough, it clearly marked that he had advanced to the fourth level of Qi training.
Lifespan: 24/95 Cultivation: Qi Training Level 4 (1/400)
Five Elements Skill: Level 4 (141/1000 Expert)
Iron Dragon Hand: Strengthens the skin and flesh, refines the internal organs, strengthens the tendons and marrow, and strengthens the blood. (756/1000 experts) Qingfeng Sword Technique: Transforms the sword into wind, extremely skillful. (976/1000 experts)
Ice Arrow: Condensed air into ice, sharp as an arrow. (1354/2000 Master) Flame Bullet: Flame like a ball, violent and fierce. (1247/2000 Master.) First-level Alchemy (1971/4000 Expert)
Geomagnetic Wheel: Using the geomagnetic energy as a wheel, it moves forward and backward like the wind. (52/100 for beginners)
Reaching the fourth level of Qi training increased his lifespan by five years. This was the most intuitive change.
What practitioners seek is longevity and longevity, and lifespan is the root of everything.
On a more subtle level, with the third blood orifice for circulating magic power, his magic power has more than doubled, and he can circulate his magic power faster and more easily, and naturally his speed of breathing in and out spiritual energy has also become faster.
Because of the strong power of Qi and blood, his internal organs are more vibrant, his muscles and bones are stronger, his speed is faster, his perception is sharper, and his spiritual power has increased a lot.
The data in Fengyue Baojian is very rough and cannot show these subtle changes.
In fact, because of the strong Qi and blood, his bones have become noticeably stronger and more powerful in the past few months, and his height has increased by more than an inch.
The limbs are longer and the body has a more beautiful proportion, including the skin condition has become tighter and whiter.
Gao Xian's intuitive feeling was that he became more handsome.
These were all gradual processes until he broke through to the fourth level of Qi training, achieving unity of Qi, blood, tendons, bones, flesh and blood, completing a qualitative change from the inside out.
To make a simple comparison, although his magic power is not as strong as Qiniang's, and he is also inferior in terms of power burst and physical strength, he has surpassed Qiniang in other aspects such as speed and reaction.
For opponents like Black Snake, even if they fight head-on, Gao Xian is confident that he can easily defeat them.
After entering the middle stage of Qi training, his strength was greatly improved. He dare not say that he could sweep all the Qi training masters, but he was no longer at a disadvantage against those in the late stage of Qi training.
Others such as Qingfeng Sword and Iron Dragon Hand have made great progress. Among them, Qingfeng Sword has improved the fastest. Continuous battles have given him a deep understanding of swordsmanship.
The flesh and blood of the Iron Scale Demon Tiger was so nutritious, especially the Tiger Blood Paste, that Gao Xian had to practice the Iron Dragon Hand every day. Therefore, the Iron Dragon Hand made rapid progress.
The most important Five Elements Skill, although the progress is not fast, the advantage is that it can advance steadily.
Zhu Qinniang also said that this requires accumulation over time and cannot be achieved overnight.
I practiced a lot of Ice Arrow and Flame Bullet, but it was not easy to improve the master-level spells.
Gao Xian estimated that it would take at least one or two years to reach the Grandmaster level. By that time, the power of the two spells would be greatly enhanced.
When first-level alchemy reaches the expert level, the improvement speed becomes very slow.
This is normal. Alchemy involves too many aspects. No matter how well a few low-level pills are refined, they will not bring much improvement to alchemy.
The worst is the Geomagnetic Wheel, a first-level intermediate-grade spell that can generally only be practiced by cultivators in the middle stage of Qi training.
Gao Xian relied on his powerful spiritual awareness and with the help of Sister Lan, he managed to learn it.
It's just that this kind of serious magic is very difficult to practice. After several months, I have only just gotten started.
That's it. Gao Xian is quite satisfied with his progress.
To sum it up briefly: progress is steady and the future is promising.
At night, Zhu Qinnan came back from Changsheng Hall and noticed Gao Xian's changes as soon as she saw him.
Zhu Qiniang's bright green eyes showed some joy: "You have reached the middle stage of Qi training!"
"Yes, to be honest, I am actually a peerless genius, hahaha..."
Gao Xian was still very happy when talking about this matter. He was doubly happy to be able to share this good news with Qiniang.
"In one year, I have broken through two levels and advanced to the middle stage of Qi training. This is really great."
Zhu Qiniang said seriously: "When you reach the middle stage of Qi training, you need to condense the spiritual orifices of the five internal organs.
"The ancient masters believed that the five internal organs were inhabited by spirits, which is the so-called five internal organs contain spirits. Regardless of whether this statement is right or wrong, it at least shows the importance of cultivating the five internal organs."
She pondered for a moment and said, "Ah Xian, the Five Elements Power is sufficient for tempering blood, flesh and bones. But it is too rough to temper the five internal organs and spiritual orifices.
"The five internal organs are complex and mysterious. Tempering the spiritual orifices of the five internal organs is also a reshaping of oneself. This step is to lay the foundation. It is crucial and is related to whether the foundation can be successfully built in the future."
Qi Niang had mentioned these things before, but Gao Xian's cultivation was still too low at that time, so he was not in a hurry.
After advancing to the fourth level of Qi training, it would be inappropriate to further practice the Five Elements Kung Fu.
Gao Xian asked: "What should we do? Where can we buy a better secret method?"
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
He now has spirit stones, which should be enough to buy some secret methods of cultivation.
Zhu Qiniang shook her head: "Various spells will be spread out because they have nothing to do with the foundation. The secret method of cultivation is the foundation of the sect and will never be passed on to outsiders.
"Even if there are secret cultivation methods that are occasionally circulated, they must be incomplete. Ordinary cultivators don't care because they have no chance of building a foundation. But you have a bright future and will have the opportunity to achieve a golden elixir in the future.
"Also, the secret method you choose must be compatible with the Five Elements Kung Fu you practice. It's not that easy."
Zhu Qiniang said: "I know that Lianyun Sect has the "Great Five Elements Kung Fu", and the Five Elements Kung Fu you learned is just an external version.
“The first three levels are the same, but starting from the fourth level, the Five Elements Skill lacks a lot of its essence and is too crude.
"If you want to achieve higher accomplishments, you must switch to practicing the Great Five Elements Kung Fu."
She sighed softly: "There is just one difficulty. The Great Five Elements Kung Fu is a secret of the sect. Only true disciples are qualified to practice it."
"True disciple? I definitely don't stand a chance!"
Gao Xian frowned. His master Xu Mingyuan was just a guest official of Lianyun Sect. To put it bluntly, he was an outsider working for Lianyun Sect.
True disciples are the real core members of Lianyun Sect. Even his master cannot compare to them.
Even if he changed his sect and became a disciple of Lianyun Sect, he would not have any chance.
The sect attaches the most importance to orderly inheritance.
A cultivator who betrays his master and joins another sect will be despised by everyone. There is no chance of him becoming a true disciple! Gao Xian asked, "What can Qi Niang do?"
"I have been asking about this matter."
Zhu Qinnan was very concerned about this matter. After all, it was related to Gao Xian's future and destiny, which could be said to be a matter of vital importance.
But she never told Gao Xian about it. It was useless to say more, as it would only make Gao Xian have wild thoughts.
She said: "The Lianyun Sect has been passed down for thousands of years, and there are more and more true disciples, which has also made the factions within the sect complicated.
"In terms of the inheritance of secret techniques, the management is not that strict. According to the regulations, those who have made great contributions to the sect can also inherit secret techniques such as the Great Five Elements Kung Fu."
"Major contribution?"
Gao Xian asked awkwardly: "Is there any standard for this?"
"Of course there are no specific standards. However, this is a channel for outward circulation."
Zhu Qiniang said: "Zhou Ye is actually a true disciple of Lianyun Sect. His master Nan Pingsong is the elder who teaches the sect and is in charge of many secret inheritances..."
Gao Xian's eyes lit up. Lao Zhou, that's his cheap father-in-law. His father-in-law's master is his master's master. They are one family!
