Just in the Middle, You Told Me This is Journey to the West

A strange power appeared from his body out of thin air, like the power of the supreme medicine, nourishing the entire flesh membrane along the limbs and bones.

I don't know how long it took, when the light in Chen Qi's sea of ​​consciousness dimmed, his consciousness returned to his body, and he instantly felt a powerful explosive force filling his whole body, but it was completely controlled by him.

This power is like he has cultivated it bit by bit. It is not difficult to master it at all, and it can be sent and received freely.

"Introduction to the first level of the basic body training technique of the human race, the early stage of the ninth grade of martial arts, tempering the skin membrane!"

Chen Qi's mind moved, and he instantly understood his current situation.

The first level of the human race's basic body training technique corresponds to the ninth grade of the human race's martial arts.

In this realm, it can be divided into three small realms, which are skin tempering, tendon training, and bone forging.

In the end, if you can integrate the three, and condense the strength of the muscles, bones and skin into a rope, you will be a ninth-rank perfect warrior.

Therefore, the four small realms of entry, minor success, great success, and consummation of the basic body training techniques of the human race correspond to the early, middle, late and consummated realms of the ninth rank of martial arts.

At this time, Chen Qi started the first level of the basic body training technique of the human race, and he naturally became a martial artist at the beginning of the ninth rank.

At the same time, his property panel becomes:

Host: Chen Qi

Realm: The early stage of the Ninth Rank of Martial Arts!

Cultivation method: basic human body training technique (level one, entry level), Qingshi body training boxing (great success), Houtian sixty-four hexagrams (small success)

Supernatural powers: none

Experience value: 250 points

Currently reading books: "Mencius (27%)", "Book of Songs (16%)"

Books entered in the library: 4!

It took Chen Qi [-] experience points to get started with the first level of the basic human body training technique.

And if you want to achieve a small success in the first level of the basic body training technique of the human race, then you need [-] experience points, and the consumption is directly doubled.

This made Chen Qi couldn't help frowning. If every small realm is doubled, then it is completely conceivable how terrifying the next consumption will be.

This made him wonder whether the millions of books in the Hanlin Academy could support him to cultivate to the realm of land gods.

"Forget it, don't think about it so much for now. There must be a way for people to go to the mountain, and the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. Let's talk about the future."

"The most important thing now is to improve your own strength, so that you can gain the power to protect yourself as soon as possible."

Chen Qi shook his head, dispelling the worries in his mind, and then continued to meditate in his heart: "System, raise the first level of the basic body training technique of the human race to the realm of Xiaocheng.".

Chapter 31

The first level of the basic body training technique of the human race is small, the middle stage of the ninth rank of martial arts, and the muscle training is completed!

"boom!"

When Chen Qi punched out, the big tendons in his body were like a spring compressed to the extreme. Obviously his own strength didn't increase much, but his explosive power more than doubled.

This is the effect of tendon training, which makes the martial artist's explosive power stronger, and the strength that can be exerted is stronger.

Coupled with a cowhide-like skin, even with bare hands, it can kill tigers and leopards, and kill heavily armed soldiers.

"Is this power?"

Chen Qi closed his eyes, and carefully felt the surging power in his body like a river. Until now, he did not know the gap between ordinary people and warriors.

Such a gap cannot be made up by swords and armor at all, and it is not at the same level at all.

After a long time, he opened his eyes and started a new summary.

No way, who made his system dumb, and there is no instruction manual.

So in order to make better use of the golden finger in the future, he can only make a summary by himself.

"The improvement of the basic body training technique of the human race is completely different from the acquired sixty-four hexagrams. During the improvement process of the former, the consciousness enters a mystical space, transforms into a small person to practice in person, and affects the external body through the practice in the sea of ​​consciousness space."

"And the latter is the instillation of pure practice and perception, similar to epiphany. Is it because one is a body training method and the other is a secret method?"

Chen Qi was a little skeptical.

"In addition, when the body refining technique is promoted, a strange power is generated out of thin air, which replaces the precious medicine assistance required for cultivation, and also avoids the possibility of failure due to lack of energy during the promotion process."

"Then where does this energy come from? Could it be transformed by system experience?"

"If this energy is transformed by system experience points, then what kind of power is the so-called experience points?"

"Is it the energy of heaven and earth accumulated by the system itself during the reading process, or the so-called spiritual power?"

"Experience points can not only allow people to enter a state of epiphany, but also can be turned into energy from heaven and earth to supplement the needs of cultivation. Is this because the mind is strong enough to affect reality?"

Chen Qi recorded his conjectures one by one, and when the conclusion was almost complete, he burned them all before taking the candle to avoid leaving hidden dangers.

However, experience points can replace the energy required for cultivation, which is undoubtedly good news for Chen Qi.

This means that he doesn't have to worry about cultivation resources at all in the future, he just needs to keep reading.

Don't underestimate this point, because the saying "poor culture and rich martial arts, practice law and destroy family" is not just a casual saying.

With his annual salary of more than twenty taels, let alone practicing martial arts and immortality, it is already good enough to support himself and not starve to death.

Of course, the salary issued by the imperial court includes not only silver taels, but also food and fields.

It is impossible for the officials to really starve to death.

It's just that if it's just silver, it's okay to say that many key cultivation resources have been monopolized by the imperial court, aristocratic families, and sect forces.

Ordinary people can't buy cultivation resources no matter how much money they have.

Therefore, when using experience points to improve skills, there is no need to consume resources, and experience points can replace practice resources.

For Chen Qi, this matter is definitely a great thing.

Must be celebrated.

Well, let's celebrate with tonight's all-night study!

Chen Qi thought of this, picked up a copy of "Mencius" from the desk, and read it with relish.

"Mencius" is a classic work of Confucianism, written by Mencius and his disciples Wan Zhang and Gongsun Chou in the middle of the Warring States Period.

There are seven chapters and fourteen volumes, with a total word count of more than [-] words, subdivided into [-] chapters, and the number of words is almost double that of "The Analects of Confucius".

However, at this time, Chen Qi, who had read the "Analects" thoroughly, and then read "Mencius" in reverse, only felt that the language and grammar that were a little difficult to understand before suddenly became clear and easy to understand.

The reason is that the two books "Mencius" and "The Analects of Confucius" have too many things in common.

This kind of commonality is not only spiritual and ideological, but also a lot of linguistic commonality.

Chen Qi's reading progress of "The Analects of Confucius" has reached [-]%, which is equivalent to having thoroughly read the book "The Analects of Confucius", and also fully understood the various subtleties and meanings in "The Analects of Confucius", and Confucius' thoughts.

In this way, reading "Mencius" in turn will naturally be much simpler.

As a result, after Chen Qi finished reading "Mencius", his reading progress jumped from [-]% to [-]%.

Just reading it once can increase the reading progress by [-]%.

Such a scene made Chen Qi overjoyed.

This means that his previous guess is completely correct. The reading progress of the book does not depend on how many times he has read it, but on whether he can fully understand the thoughts and ideas that the book wants to explain.

This also means that the more books Chen Qi reads and the higher his level of education, the easier it is to improve his reading progress.

For example, if he can read the Four Books and Five Classics, then he can read other Confucian classics in turn. He may only need to read it once to fully understand it, and he can increase the reading progress of the book to [-]%.

In this way, the difficulty for him to obtain experience points will undoubtedly be reduced a lot, and the speed will be much faster.

It's equivalent to finding a shortcut to gain experience by reading books. You don't need to study hard, just read dead books. .

Chapter 32

Time flies like a white horse, and two days passed in a blink of an eye.

The etiquette training of Chen Qi and his group of new scholars came to an end. Everyone happily walked out of the Honglu Temple as if they were relieved, and began to prepare for tomorrow's morning morning thanksgiving.

According to the requirements of the "Datang Huidian", after the three-day training at Honghe Temple, the number one scholar will lead the Jinshi to express their gratitude.

It can be regarded as a test of the results of the three-day etiquette training at Honglu Temple.

This time the table of gratitude is a standard court meeting, which means that this day happens to be the day when all civil and military officials go to court.

Thanking you at the court meeting is the best way to test the etiquette of new Jinshi.

The location of the court meeting is still the Tai Chi Hall.

On this day, just after dawn, Chen Qi put on his crown clothes early in the morning, and went to the palace alone.

Different from the previous two visits to the palace, Chen Qi felt a little lonely when he entered the palace this time.

Standing alone in front of the palace, bearing the isolation of other Jinshi and the pointing and pointing of court officials.

No way, three days passed, enough for Chen Qi's reputation to spread throughout Chang'an City.

Of course, his article "The Theory of Exterminating Buddha and Rapid Wealth" must not have been circulated, and only Emperor Zhenguan and a few important court officials are eligible to read it.

The others didn't know the real reason why Chen Qi offended the emperor, and it was impossible to know what kind of angry articles he had written in his arguments. They only knew that he didn't respect sages, immortals and Buddhas.

It is also understandable that if Chen Qi's arguments are really published, it will also greatly affect the glorious image of Buddhism.

I can't tell everyone that Buddhism has tens of thousands of temples in the Tang Dynasty, hundreds of thousands or even millions of monks and nuns, and occupies millions of fertile fields, eating meat and drinking, and all of them No need to pay taxes.

If the imperial court really dared to publish such an article, the people at the bottom would not be crazy.

Damn it, being a monk is so good, why not just put down the hoe and become a Buddha right away?

When you become a monk, you don't have to worry about being hungry, you don't have to worry about being bullied by aristocratic families, and you don't have to be taxed by the imperial court.

That's why Li Shimin and others were crazy to publish Chen Qi's essays to the public. They could only use the name of "disrespecting sages" and "disrespecting immortals and Buddhas" to send him directly to the Imperial Academy.

And what about other civil and military officials?

Although they didn't know what Chen Qi wrote, but the emperor had spoken, would they dare to confront Li Shimin?
