Daqin arrests alchemists, what does it matter to me as a qi refiner?

With the passage of time, driven by Zhao Kuangyin, the method of health preservation and qi refining gradually spread throughout the Song Dynasty.

This health-preserving and qi-refining method can help people strengthen their bodies. If you have good talent, you can even embark on the path of spiritual practice with this exercise method.

People with average talents can also be called warriors according to this cultivation method.

People who have no talent at all can at least strengthen their bodies through practice.

As the friction between the Song State and the Liao State continued to increase, the people's martial arts practice gradually became more and more enthusiastic.

For a time, it seemed that people all over the Song Dynasty were practicing this technique.

Even the children on the roadside can play a decent trick or two.

However, most people just follow the trend, and there are basically only a few people who really concentrate on practicing.

Because this exercise method is the same as strengthening the body, it is extremely difficult to see results in a short period of time. Even if you practice for a year and a half, it will be just like that.

Its main effect is to strengthen the foundation and strengthen the body, lay a foundation for spiritual practice, and strengthen the body by the way.

If you really want to keep fit and go to the battlefield to kill enemies, ordinary training methods plus eating more food are much better than this technique.

However, due to the widespread spread of martial arts, many warriors have appeared in the Song Kingdom over the years.

If there are more people practicing, there will always be those who can persevere.

However, unlike traditional practitioners, these warriors generally do not have a broad body shape, and may even be very lean.

This is because they cultivate internal strength.

Although warriors cannot cultivate the same magic power as practitioners, relying on their understanding of their own bodies and control of their blood and energy, these warriors can also form something similar to internal force in their bodies.

This so-called internal force is a kind of energy formed by combining scientific methods of exerting force, and it has little to do with mana.

But to some extent, it can also be regarded as a lower-level substitute for mana.

Qin Tian also paid a lot of attention to everything that happened in the mortal world.

Especially when ordinary warriors developed internal power similar to magic power, Qin Tian was even more surprised.

The potential of the human body is indeed infinite, and he cannot underestimate the wisdom of mortals.

Not to mention anything else, just talking about the inner strength has great reference significance for Qin Tian.

Moreover, the way mortals cultivate their inner strength is also very novel to Qin Tian.

Therefore, Qin Tian was very concerned about the various strange methods that appeared among the people. Not only did he not stop them, he even strongly encouraged the emergence of this new way of cultivation.

It’s just that mortals are mortals after all. Although many people have created new methods of cultivation, there are still many loopholes in them.

Many cultivation methods are only suitable for a certain type of people or even a certain person, and would be totally unsuitable for other people.

Naturally, this kind of technique cannot be spread.

In the next ten years, all aspects of the Song Dynasty entered a period of rapid development.

Zhao Kuangyin quickly united all the forces in the country to vigorously develop and recuperate people's livelihood.

At the same time, batches of new warriors emerged within the Song Kingdom.

Various new types of cultivation techniques are emerging in endlessly.

These people naturally hide their determination and are unwilling to show it to others. Unfortunately, all of this is of no use to Qin Tian.

Because Qin Tian didn't need their determination at all, he could see the operation route of these people's skills at a glance, where were the loopholes and where were the advantages.

In the past ten years, Qin Tian's students have also continued to increase, and at one time they even reached fifty-eight.

But then the number of people slowly decreased.

To a certain extent, this is also related to Qin Tian's own promotion of cultivation techniques.

Because of the promotion of health regimen, many people have benefited from it, and it has gained quite a reputation among the people.

Therefore, after some people who originally had the talent for cultivation were later discovered, they were no longer willing to learn cultivation from Qin Tian.

Because they generally have their own careers and status.

If you start over in another place, even if this is a great opportunity, can you catch it steadily?

Besides, all the elites in the country have gone to the capital, what about you?
So some people who have little confidence in their talents finally choose to give up this opportunity.

There is nothing the people in the court can do against such people.

If the other party doesn't want to go, Qin Tian won't force him to go, so there's no point in forcing him to go.

For such people, the court can only make one registration, and then forget about it.

In addition, there are all kinds of weird reasons, but without exception, they are all related to Qin Tian's health regimen.

Therefore, as the territory grew larger, the growth rate of Qin Tian's students slowed down, and sometimes even decreased.

Because some people have achieved success in their studies or cannot see the road ahead, they will choose to leave school and find a future for themselves.

Because the students under Qin Tian were all from all walks of life, and most of them were civilians.

After all, whether you are the son of a powerful person or a commoner, they are essentially the same. Just because you are the son of a powerful person, your talent will not necessarily be better!
Therefore, most of Qin Tian's students are civilians.

But once it enters the Qi refining period, it will be the object of competition among people from all walks of life.

Because in the early stage of Qi refining, one can easily deal with ordinary strong men and even veterans of hundreds of battles. In the middle stage of Qi refining, one can directly enter the army and get a big official position.

In the middle stage of Qi refining, one can already become a high-ranking person in this country.

Even a high-ranking official of the third rank in the imperial court is far from the glory of a practitioner in the early stages of Qi refining.

Therefore, many people cannot resist the temptation of the outside world and pursue their own glory and wealth after achieving a small amount of success.

For such people, Qin Tian will not stop them.

Qin Tian would only give them advice once, and only once. If they refused, Qin Tian would never speak again.

Because people who covet glory and wealth, no matter how talented they are, are not pursuing the great road, Qin Tian will naturally not stop them from pursuing the life they want.

Until now, there have been more than thirty students who have left Qin Tian.

The highest cultivation level of these people is only in the middle stage of Qi Refining, and their cultivation level has basically stagnated after leaving the school.

As for their whereabouts, they are also varied.

Some went home to farm, some became the son-in-law of an official or a wealthy businessman, and some went to the court to become officials.

However, most of them choose to start their development in the army.

Because it is the easiest to be promoted in the army and has the highest starting point, and of course it is also the most difficult and dangerous.

Others became Zhao Kuangyin's personal guards.

And if you want to become Zhao Kuangyin's personal guard, loyalty alone is not enough, your strength must also be justified.

The most important thing is that the lives of these people will be in Zhao Kuangyin's hands.

Therefore, after becoming Zhao Kuangyin's personal guards, these people will only obey the orders of Zhao Kuangyin from now on.

There are neither many nor few people who choose this path, and most of them are dead soldiers that Zhao Kuangyin has trained since he was a child.

These were orphans who had no one to adopt them. Without Zhao Kuangyin, they would have died long ago.

So these children have no complaints.

The main thing is that Zhao Kuangyin is really good to them. However, as time goes by and the Song Dynasty develops, there will probably be fewer and fewer such children.

Regarding the issue of dead soldiers, Qin Tian never stopped him.

Because if you want to become a dead warrior, the most important thing is that these people must first become monks.

Because you can't make a life lamp without becoming a monk.

But these people studied under Qin Tian. Would Qin Tian let others bully his students?

With Qin Tian here, it will naturally ensure that every child can make his own choice.

Because Qin Tian will not only teach them how to practice, but also teach them the principles of life.

These so-called life lamps of dead soldiers were all handed over by these children completely voluntarily.

There was absolutely no coercion whatsoever.

It is an advantage to repay kindness, and Qin Tian respects their choice.

Qin Tian originally intended to teach these children for free, but after Zhao Kuangyin's suggestion, he finally changed his plan.

After being free for a long time, everyone should think that all this is what Qin Tian should do.

So no matter what the price is, at least these students need to pay a corresponding price in order to teach them.

This is not only a consideration for Qin Tian, ​​but also a consideration for the future of the Song Dynasty.

Because this method of blindly asking for things is not a problem now, but once Zhao Kuangyin passes away, this method of cooperation will inevitably cause big problems.

Therefore, all students need to start taking on certain tasks when they are in school, and after leaving school, they need to spend time to repay the cost of studying in school.

In the past ten years, Zhao Defang and Zhao Heng's cultivation speed has been extremely fast, almost improving at a rapid rate.

After practicing for only more than ten years, the two of them actually entered the foundation-building realm one after another.

Generally speaking, Zhao Heng's talent is better. Although he started practicing later, he entered the foundation building realm earlier than Zhao Defang.

These two people are also the only two students under Qin Tian who have entered the realm of foundation building.

Qingfeng Qingshui has grown up in the past two years, and is now a handsome boy and a graceful girl.

Unlike Zhao Heng, Zhao Defang is truly perfect.

Although he is not as talented as Zhao Heng, he is gentle and polite to others. The most important thing is that he is very righteous and loyal.

But at the same time, he would not cover up the mistakes of his friends or junior students. He would hide some minor problems from them, but if someone made a big mistake, Zhao Defang would be the first to step forward.

In short, Zhao Defang's various behaviors have gained him a lot of popularity among students.

Zhao Defang is good at everything, but often his brain is not as good as Zhao Heng's.

Several times, Qin Tian found that Zhao Defang was obviously being used by Zhao Heng, but this guy was still cheerful. He didn't know if he really didn't know that he was being used, or if he didn't care at all.

In the eyes of outsiders, or to be precise, in the eyes of everyone except Zhao Heng, the relationship between the two of them is very good.

Not real brothers, but better than real brothers.

Only Zhao Heng himself knew what he was thinking.

College life is happy but also short.

In more than ten years, both of them have reached the foundation-building realm.

But if nothing else happens, these two people will have to stay in the foundation-building realm for the rest of their lives.

Because the way of heaven in this world has not grown enough to give them a breakthrough.

Unless their talents can be much higher, they will be stuck in the foundation building realm for the rest of their lives.

Or you can wait for a breakthrough from heaven.

By the way, Qingfeng and Qingshui are not far away from establishing the foundation.

Once the foundation is established, the two of them can become the first two teaching assistants in the school.

Zhao Defang would rather stay in school, but with his status, it is naturally impossible.

Therefore, it is no surprise that Zhao Defang and Zhao Heng left the school together and returned to their families.

After leaving school, as long as they did not do evil, no matter what the two of them did or what struggles they participated in, Qin Tian would not care.

This is their freedom.

Unlike mortals, there is real karma among monks.

Only if you firmly believe that what you are doing is the right thing, you will not be affected by these causes and effects.

But as long as you have even the slightest hesitation and doubt in your heart, inner demons and cause and effect will wrap around you, leaving you dead without even realizing it.

So as a monk, if you go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, there is usually no problem, because they are the enemy.

But if you rape women, or even kill people, then your inner demons are already on the way.

Because you yourself know that it is wrong to do so.

Unless the person is crazy enough to think that this kind of thing doesn't matter.

However, this kind of person usually cannot wait for his retribution and inner demons, Qin Tian will take action to deal with him first.

……

After more than ten years of practice, Zhao Kuangyin finally officially started and became a practitioner in the early stages of Qi refining.

And Zhao Kuangyin's peak in this life is limited to this.

There are too many national events, and there are too many things he needs to consider.

Even if he doesn't dare to give up now, his complicated thoughts are doomed to make him unable to make any achievements in practice.

However, it was enough for him in the early stage of Qi refining. At least he would have no problem being the emperor for another twenty or thirty years.

Even when he is eighty years old, he can still mount a horse and kill the enemy!

Seeing his son return from his studies, Zhao Kuangyin was still overjoyed and held a big banquet even though he could see each other often on weekdays.

Of course, he didn't forget to bring Zhao Heng with him.

Zhao Kuangyin was actually quite pleased inside.

Although the relationship between him and his brother had a rift, and even fell out at one point, the relationship between their children was very good.

With two children acting as lubricants, the relationship between him and Zhao Jiong has eased a lot.

At least for so many years, although Zhao Jiong is still addicted to pleasure, he rarely does anything out of the ordinary.

The banquet held this time was not only to give the two children a clean break and celebrate their return from school, but it also had another meaning.

That is to arrange a marriage for these two children.

After all, you are not young anymore. You have reached the age to talk about marriage, and it is time to make a decision.

So to a certain extent, this banquet can be regarded as half a blind date conference.

Monks are naturally different from ordinary people, so they have to choose their own wives.

As elders, they probably don’t choose what their children want. (End of chapter)
