Cultivation: My efforts will be successful

Chapter 10 Five Animal Skills for Health Preservation

Gong Qingyun's joy was not shared with her sister in time.
  Because at this time, Gong Qingshui had already set off again.

Just two days ago, Mr. Gong received news that the best snow lotus appeared halfway up Yunshan Mountain. This is the elixir needed by those cultivators who can fly to the sky!

If you can pick a top-quality snow lotus, give it to Gong Qingyun, or offer it to an immortal cultivator when he comes to the secular world to recruit disciples, it is possible for Gong Qingyun to enter the world of immortality.

Therefore, Gong Qingshui was called by Mr. Gong and told to find out Xuelian's whereabouts and seize it if there was a chance. If there was no chance to send a letter back with definite information, Mr. Gong could take action himself.

Although Mr. Gong is a congenital master, he is already old and his health is fine. However, if he travels outside for a long time, his body will not be able to bear it.
  Therefore, most of these things are done by Gong Qingshui.

This morning, after Gong Qingshui observed his younger brother's stance for a while, he knew that he could control his energy and blood within two days, so he put his bag on his back without looking back, and walked into the darkness of the early morning with the biting coldness. on the road ahead.

Chen Yi only found out about the eldest lady's departure when he was looking for Zhuiyue to announce the good news.

Zhuiyue was overjoyed when she heard that the young master had started Zhuang Kung Fu:

"Great! If the lady knows, she will definitely be very happy!
  Brother Yi, if you practice martial arts with the young master during this time and you have done well, I will report it to the eldest lady. "

"Thank you, Miss Moon Chasing."

This is what Chen Yi did,

"By the way, Miss Chaiyue, I heard that bone strengthening soup is sold alone for 1 tael of silver per bowl. I would like to ask, can anyone buy it?"

Chen Yi asked by the way.

"Of course not." Zhuiyue said with a hint of pride, "Only martial arts apprentices who have officially started practicing Zhuang Gong are eligible to buy it. Of course I can buy it too."

"Are you a martial arts apprentice?"

"Hmph, I am the eldest lady, do I still need to be a martial arts apprentice? This Gong Family Courtyard doesn't give me any face.

What, you want to buy it? "Zhui Yue asked back.

"If it's convenient, could you please help Miss Chaiyue buy a bowl for me?"

"Well, normally speaking, you are a slave and cannot drink bone-strengthening soup.

But, if you want me to buy you a bowl, it’s not a big deal, but you have to remember the kindness of the eldest lady,
  You have to know that all this is just for the sake of the eldest lady, so you have this bowl of soup. "

Zhuiyue thought of what the eldest lady had told her before she left. If this little slave was to beg her to accept him one day, then it would be appropriate to show off the eldest lady's energy appropriately, so he rolled his eyes and gave this answer.

Chen Yi felt helpless. This young lady decided that she wanted to recruit him, and she even made arrangements.

In the present situation,

Hmm. You have to drink the medicinal soup, and you can remember the eldest lady's kindness. But, if you really go out with the eldest lady, forget it. It's too dangerous outside. Let's develop steadily first.

"I'm thinking of the eldest lady, so I will never forget it. I also want to thank Miss Chaiyue."

Chen Yi smiled and handed over a corner of broken silver. Zhuiyue said "high", raised his chin, and took it.

Then, Chen Yi took the initiative to follow Zhuiyue to buy a bowl of bone-strengthening soup.
  The saying goes, don’t bother chasing the moon girl, just run around and see each other off.
  In fact, I want to get familiar with the senior brother who sells soup and medicine. Since I have taken the banner of the eldest lady, I still have to use those things that should be used. At most, I will be grateful to the eldest lady a few more times in my heart.

In fact, the effect is similar. The person in charge of Zhuanggu Tang is a senior medical disciple of Mr. Gong, named Wu Li. He is five feet tall and round.

He knows Zhuiyue,
  After Zhuiyue explained that the bone-strengthening soup was to be given to Chen Yi, Wu Li also glanced at Chen Yi.

"I heard Xiaojiu say that you are literate, sensible, and able to endure hardships, but it's a pity that you are a bit weak.

Since the eldest lady appreciates it, I will fish out the thick soup under the bowl for you. You must seize the opportunity.

Try to work hard as soon as possible to help the eldest lady take care of her worries. "

Chen Yi took the soup with a smile and thanked him, but did not offer any help.

After returning home, he drank the thick bone-strengthening soup and Chen Yi persisted in standing for more than half an hour. Now with the daily standing exercises, Chen Yi could stand for longer and longer every day, and he was no longer close to getting started. Far.

Although the progress is not as good as Gong Qingyun's one-step control of Qi and blood with big medicines, he can see progress every day, and Chen Yi is very stable.

In the early morning of the next day, because Gong Qingyun had already started practicing Zhuang Kung Fu, Li An began to teach him the official Gong family boxing method - Jiugong Fist.

However, Chen Yi is still far from progress and has not really become a disciple, so he is not yet able to learn the orthodox Jiugong Quan.
  Thinking of Master Gong's instructions, I just passed on some simple things to Chen Yi.

Li An taught Chen Yi a simple health-preserving boxing method, Gong's Five-Animal Kung Fu.

"This fist is gentle and does not hurt the body. It is good for maintaining health and harmonizing Qi and blood. It is suitable for people like you who have weak foundation and insufficient Qi and blood to practice.

According to legend, practicing it can generate internal strength. If the internal strength is strong enough to be promoted to true energy, it will not be inferior to the external martial arts and boxing techniques.
  Well, if ordinary people develop internal strength, they will have a chance within fifty years. "

This is what Li An said when he taught Chen Yi Boxing.

Chen Yi smiled and listened carefully,
  I didn't see Chen Yi's expected dissatisfaction with this health-preserving boxing method.
  Li An frowned slightly, but still said what the eldest lady told him:

"Of course, if you want to learn the Gong family's orthodox killing fist - Jiugong Fist, if you can master the Qi and blood in a year and a half, you can go to the eldest lady and ask her. If she agrees to let you become a disciple, then you can You can continue learning.”

Chen Yi smiled again and thanked:

"Thank you, Senior Brother Li. Health-preserving boxing is very good. My body and bones are suitable for health-preserving exercises."

Chen Yi is not pretending to be calm, but he really doesn’t hate these five-animal health-preserving skills.
  After coming to the Gong family for so long, Chen Yi inquired about the origins of the Gong family. According to legend, the ancestor of the Gong family rescued an expert who fell down one day while farming, and was awarded a medical book by the expert.
  The first half of that medical skill is the source of Gong's pharmacology for typhoid fever, while the second half records a health-preserving skill, which is the Five-Animal Health-Preserving Technique.

The ancestors of the Gong family once left a message: Don’t underestimate this health-preserving skill. It can improve people’s physical constitution. If you practice it to a small extent, you can prolong your life. If you practice it to a great extent, it may produce internal energy. It has many magical effects.
  Or for those who are particularly destined, it may also change their lives.

However, because later the Gong family's children entered the martial arts world to make a living, this health-preserving skill was far less lethal than the external martial arts. Over time, the martial arts inheritance of the Gong family abandoned this health-preserving skill. Only some medical disciples still practice it, but the effects are often mediocre. , to this day, I have not heard of anyone who has practiced to a small degree and can generate internal strength.
  On the contrary, several people in several generations who have practiced this technique have lived to be 90 years old.

[Five-animal health-preserving skill (1/4000): If you persist every day, you can achieve it four thousand times. 】

There are only 18 movements in the health-preserving skill, and the requirements for learning it are not high on Qi and blood. Chen Yi learned it in one go.
  Unexpectedly, practicing this health-preserving skill requires twice as much as the pile skill!
  It seems simple, but there must be some mystery inside.

It's just that very few people can practice the boxing skills to perfection. This health-preserving skill is twice as difficult as the boxing skills, so no one can master it.

But this kind of thing suits Chen Yi just right.

Zhuang Gong is used to cultivate Qi and blood and increase Qi strength. It is the basis for practicing Jiugong Quan, a form of external martial arts.

However, although those with external skills are powerful in killing, they can also hurt themselves.

Especially when the Qi and blood are strong to a certain extent, it places a huge burden on the organs, bone marrow, and muscles. When you hit someone, you will hurt yourself.

Therefore, those who practice external martial arts do not live long. They usually die of organ failure at the age of 50.

Those who can practice to the point of innateness, or those who are extremely talented in martial arts, rely on their peak energy and blood state to rush forward in their prime of life.

Either you are a person who is very good at keeping in good health, strengthen your body's endurance, and rely on age to wear it down.
  Either spend tens or hundreds of years cultivating internal strength, rely on internal strength to reach the peak and then enter the innate world.

Several methods have their own pros and cons. Theoretically, the best method is to cultivate both internal and external aspects, strengthening the internal organs and improving qi and blood at the same time.

The two work together to spiral upward, directly to the innate.

But this method is extremely difficult. With the help of external energy and blood, it is possible to rush up in a short time with the help of the treasures of heaven, materials and earth, as well as the practice of powerful skills.

But internal strength is a matter of talent and time. Most people can't get in in 10 years, and can't hear the sound in 30 years. They may be able to gain something in 5 or 60 years, but how can ordinary people persist for so long?

But Chen Yi is different. He is now 15 years old and already has the basic skills of practicing internal health and external vitality and blood.
  All he needed was to hold on.

As for the lack of external training methods, Chen Yi is not in a hurry for the time being and will lay a solid foundation first.
