My Liver Experience in Reality

Chapter 192 Confused Gai Nie!
"uh-huh?"

Zhang Xuanchong raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "What do you want from me?"

He didn't want to go around in circles and went straight to the point.

"Heavenly Venerable!"

Gai Nie bowed, with a smile on his face, and said respectfully: "Please give me some advice from Heavenly Lord, my swordsmanship has reached a bottleneck, and I can't break through the shackles in a short period of time."

"Oh?"

Zhang Xuanchong looked at Gai Nie up and down for a few times, and immediately made considerations in his mind.

He didn't speak immediately, he just walked and continued walking down the mountain.

Seeing this, Gai Nie made no extra moves and just followed the former honestly, slowly walking down the mountain.

He obtained Zhang Xuanchong's realm from Ying Zheng, and felt that the art of swordsmanship was too hard, and he would no longer be as brave and diligent as he was at the beginning of his practice. Therefore, after completing Ying Zheng's instructions, he asked for leave for a few days. , I would like to take this opportunity to ask for advice.
Not long after, the two of them went down the mountain one after another, straight down the hillside, and walked to the creek.

It is said to be a creek, but it is actually nearly ten meters wide and several meters deep, which can be called a "river".

Zhang Xuanchong stood by the river, staring at the fat fish wandering in the river motionless.

And Gai Nie stood beside him, imitating his example, looking at the fish swimming in the river, lost in thought.

"Genie."

Zhang Xuanchong suddenly said: "Tell me about the swordsmanship in your heart!"

"Yes~ Tianzun!"

Seeing the opportunity coming, Gai Nie's heart skipped a beat. Without thinking about the deeper meaning, he explained his pursuit: "The way of swordsmanship I seek is 'breaking'!"

"In my opinion, there is nothing in this world that cannot be broken!"

"Mountains, rocks, rivers, oceans, clouds, stars, and even space and time can all be cut off."

"But the swordsmanship passed down by Zhu Xia is all about protecting the body and killing. Taoist swordsmanship teaches detachment, Confucian swordsmanship teaches self-cultivation, and Mohist swordsmanship teaches stopping fighting. These are all inseparable from the four words, 'protection of the body'. Kill'!"

"so what?"

When Zhang Xuanchong saw that he had stopped speaking, he asked back.

"I'm a little confused!"

Gai Nie looked a little melancholy and sighed softly: "The Qi refining method I learned is a mixture of the Qin royal family's Qi refining method and the method passed down by my family. It only serves the sword. Since I merged with the world seven years ago, I have made progress. Then it became slower and slower, until three years ago, I could no longer deposit money.”

"I'm wondering if what I'm asking for is right or wrong!"

"Is that so"

Zhang Xuanchong’s eyes flashed.

He looked at the fat fish in the clear river water, his heart suddenly moved, and then he whispered: "Buy two jars of wine, catch two fish, and I will tell you after you finish eating!"

"."

Gai Nie looked stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses.

He smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, I'll do it right now!"

“Do it yourself!”

Zhang Xuanchong smiled and added: "I want to try the skills of the leader of Zhu Xia Sword Dao!"

"I know this, and I won't do it to others!"

Gai Nie wiped away the bitter smile on his face and said with determination.

After saying that, his body disappeared from where he was, and he didn't know where he went.

Zhang Xuanchong didn't care. He leaned to the shade of the mountain and hid under the shadow of the boulder. He squinted his eyes slightly and didn't know what he was thinking.

"Kendo~"

Chewing these two words, he began to spread his thoughts.

I mentally deduced the feasibility of various unknown paths.

His realm is very high, especially when he combines all the methods and refines them into one fundamental method, his martial arts knowledge is no longer a shortcoming.

All the exercises and martial arts are gone through the panel to eliminate the false and retain the true. In this case, it can be said that he alone has mastered the basic knowledge of martial arts in all Zhuxia for thousands of years.

Although this was just his main idea, the knowledge was also engraved in his heart.

Therefore, combined with Gai Nie's ideas, in just a moment, he deduced a path that was not sure whether it was feasible or not.

"'Breaking' is good, but it's still not as good as 'cutting'." "I don't know swordsmanship, but I know power."

An hour later.

"Your craft."

Zhang Xuanchong smacked his lips twice and said with some melancholy: "You are a good swordsman, but not a good cook, although your sword skills are excellent."

"This"

Gai Nie had nothing to say. He looked at the charcoal-like thing being burned in his hand. His expression did not change at all. He only opened his mouth to taste it carefully, as if he had not heard what Zhang Xuanchong said.

However, after taking two bites, he frowned subconsciously.

Then he put the 'grilled fish' in his hand aside, picked up the wine jar and started drinking.

"People in the world don't stick to trivial matters!"

Breathing out the breath of alcohol, he said calmly: "Just eat some!"

"Besides, inspiration can alleviate cravings to a certain extent."

"excusable."

"Oh??"

Zhang Xuanchong glanced at him sideways, and said with a half-smile: "Don't waste it, continue!"

"Cough cough."

Gai Nie took another two gulps of wine, but didn't even look at the 'grilled fish' that was turning around.

After a while of teasing, the fire went out.

Zhang Xuanchong took two sips of wine from the wine jar and said casually: "Tell me about your current state of practice, or in other words, its specific performance!"

"Yes!"

Gai Nie wiped his mouth and his expression became serious. He knew that the real drama was coming.

"Since the emergence of the disciples and the spread of hundreds of schools of thought, the path of Qi refiners has been roughly fixed, with three thresholds."

"The first one is to cultivate your body. Use boxing and sword skills to sharpen your body, strengthen your qi and blood, and strengthen your inner breath. When you reach a certain level, you can absorb spiritual ideas."

"Only one person out of a hundred can achieve this step, if there is no external influence."

"The second threshold is to rest your mind."

"The third threshold is to merge with God."

"It should be the realm of Tianzun in the future, but I haven't touched this field yet."

Listening to Gai Nie's eloquent talk, Zhang Xuanchong's expression did not change.

This was not much different from what he knew.

The physical body is not important, or in other words, it is not that important to Qi practitioners. Compared with the physical body, most of their focus is on 'Qi' and 'Shen'.

Inner Qi, or maternal Qi, will transform into a kind of "qi" with great destructive power after the integration of spirit and machine. This Qi nourishes the body and the mind, but if it is not controlled properly, the body and mind can be destroyed easily. This is the second threshold.

God is the tentacle used by Qi Refiners to integrate into the heaven and earth. The stronger and more Tao they understand, the greater the scope of the fused heaven and earth.

Compared with these two uses, the physical body of the Qi Refiner is really not good-looking.

"How big is your domain?"

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Xuanchong suddenly looked up.

Gai Nie solemnly said: "Within a hundred miles around me, I am invincible!"

"What about your physical body?"

Zhang Xuanchong raised his brows slightly and said in an incomprehensible tone: "Refining essence to transform into qi, refining qi to transform into spirit, refining spirit to return to emptiness, refining emptiness to combine with Tao"

"These sixteen words, four realms, where do you think you have reached, and who is the most important!"

"Essence, Qi, Shen, Dao"

Gai Nie murmured to himself, feeling a little unable to control himself for a moment.

"This way, is it the way of swordsmanship, the way of heaven, or..."
