Ji Boying nodded and politely cupped his hands in greeting, asking for advice.

"Since parting ways with Seventh Master, my skills have improved considerably. I have now opened six of the eight extraordinary Eight Extraordinary Meridians. I consider myself one of the Five Greats of the Martial World, but I have not yet achieved the goal of returning to the Innate Realm after birth, opening the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, and connecting the bridge between heaven and earth."

"The seniors' skills are naturally superior to those of this junior, but I suppose they are not far apart. My palm technique combines the best palm techniques in the world. Senior Huang is naturally the best in the world, and his martial arts have reached the Transformation Realm. But he is not known for his palm techniques. I thought I could gain the upper hand."

"Yet they exchanged three blows without gaining the slightest advantage, clearly Senior Huang's skill is too great and he's being unfair..."

Huang Yaoshi nodded.

"That's right, you're right. The Old Beggar's Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms may not be stronger than my palm technique, but your palm technique has obviously surpassed mine. However, my skill level is still much higher than yours."

"There are eight major meridians. The four of us are still missing one. Whoever can open the last meridian first will be able to return to the innate Innate Realm and truly become the number one in the world."

"Now that your six meridians are open, it seems that there shouldn't be such a big gap between you and us. It's probably because Wang Chongyang died early, and no one told you the key to it."

Huang Yaoshi swept his sharp gaze around the room.

"Listen to this, everyone."

Even as she said this, she still glared fiercely at Guo Jing, that silly, dim-witted boy.

I felt disgusted, like I had swallowed a fly, and I was extremely angry.

But after all this commotion and her daughter's constant interference, she couldn't vent her anger for the time being.

"There are twelve meridians and fifteen collaterals, totaling twenty-seven types of Qi, which follow each other up and down. There are the Yangwei, Yinwei, Yangqiao, Yinqiao, Chong, Du, Ren, and Dai meridians. All these Eight Extraordinary Meridians are not bound by the meridians, hence they are called the Eight Extraordinary Meridians."

"Therefore, those who practice martial arts should first master the twelve meridians, and then practice the Eight Extraordinary Meridians."

"Among the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, the Ren and Du meridians are connected, yet they are different. If one wishes to return to the Innate Realm state Innate Realm and achieve the innate realm, one needs to open the Ren and Du Meridians, connecting the bridge between heaven and earth. The acquired internal energy is transformed into the Innate Realm true energy that flows smoothly through the Ren and Du meridians, continuously and endlessly, which is the most wondrous thing."

"So while connecting the six meridians is rare, it is still quite common. Although we are slightly ahead of you in terms of one meridian, this one meridian is almost comparable to three meridians. Moreover, we are all top-notch people in the world. Even if we are both at the level of seven meridians, our power is far superior to that of ordinary people."

"That is to say, you are also highly talented, with excellent physical constitution and unique internal strength. I am certain that you have wide meridians and strong internal energy, which is why you, at the Six Meridians Realm, can compete with me with this palm technique. Otherwise, the gap would only be greater."

"It's very likely that whether it's the first or second lineage or the fifth or sixth lineage, they won't make much difference in front of me."

"Thank you for your explanation, senior."

Ji Boying thanked him, naturally believing everything Huang Yaoshi said.

Although I don't have a systematic understanding of the differences, I have some guesses about them after practicing to this level.

It's almost exactly what Huang Yaoshi said, and it matches perfectly.

Moreover, their strength lies not only in the fact that the four of them have opened up seven meridians, but also in the strength of the individuals themselves.

Compared to Hong Qigong's palm strength alone, he could easily mold Ouyang Ke's steel folding fan into an iron ball like clay.

That kind of ability is truly terrifying.

From Ji Boying's perspective in his first life, only modern workshops could so easily mold this Vajra folding fan into an iron wrist. Only heated iron, under the influence of a pneumatic hammer, could achieve such a feat.

"Boy, did you teach Rong'er her internal energy?"

Huang Yaoshi began by asking a question.

With his keen eyesight, he could naturally see that Huang Rong's martial arts skills had greatly improved after several hurried leaps.

Although it seems that Huang Yaoshi owes his beloved daughter the old beggar's apprenticeship, he knows that the old beggar doesn't actually have many kung fu skills suitable for his daughter; at most, he only knows the Dog -Dog Beating Staff Technique.

As for techniques like Heaven-Mixing Skill, Copper Hammer Hand, Lotus Palm, and Iron Broom Leg Technique, while they are good, they are all skills that Hong Qigong used when he was young, and they are not enough to fight against true masters.

Now, looking at Huang Rong not only has agile movements, but also a light and graceful figure, with gentle breathing and a long and continuous energy flow, which clearly indicates that she has practiced extremely profound internal martial arts skills.

Upon closer inspection, the breathing patterns of the four people in front of them are all similar, clearly indicating that they practice the same internal energy cultivation method.

Ji Boying, who already possessed superior martial arts skills and was chosen by the Quanzhen Sect to be their disciple, must have been the source of this internal energy technique.

"This internal skill was originally an Azure Capital Purple Star Divine Skill that I created. It is a traditional Daoist martial art and has a close relationship with Quanzhen Internal Energy. After my senior brothers accepted me into their school, they taught me Quanzhen Internal Energy. I then combined the two internal skills into one, which is how the Azure Capital Purple Star Divine Skill Quanzhen Chapter came about. All of us practice this kind of internal skill."

Upon hearing this, Huang Yaoshi naturally praised it repeatedly.

Huang Yaoshi was particularly fond of Ji Boying, who had created so many martial arts techniques.

If one only practices martial arts diligently, only a very few individuals will gain Huang Yaoshi's approval, Yideng.

Firstly, the One Yang Finger is indeed miraculous; secondly, Yideng is compassionate and kind-hearted.

But for most people, not only do they need good physical constitution, but they also need high comprehension, deep skill, and the talent to create their own martial arts.

Just like Hong Qigong, he was a bit too casual. He could create any kung fu he wanted with just a little effort, and any kung fu he used could be improved with a little practice.

Ouyang Feng was not only skilled in internal energy, but he also created the Spirit Snake Fist to deal with the other three masters. Although Huang Yaoshi was unaware of the existence of this fist technique, he recognized Ouyang Feng's talent.

Wang Chongyang needs no further introduction.

Among the Five Greats, Ouyang Feng is the type who deals massive damage, while Huang Yaoshi is the type who can use a kaleidoscope of skills.

For Ji Boying's age, not only is his internal strength profound and his physical constitution excellent, but he is also able to create his own martial arts.

I have many thoughts about this kind of person, which are not very appropriate, but I always feel happy and appreciative about them.

Huang Yaoshi placed his hand on Huang Rong's pulse point, feeling it for a moment, and his mood naturally became even more pleasant.

He smiled and said, "Quanzhen Internal Energy is an orthodox Xuanmen internal kung fu, the righteous path of the martial arts world. It can increase one's power whether walking, sitting, or lying down. It is unfathomable and wonderful, and is the most extraordinary. You are already very fortunate to have learned this internal kung fu. You have even innovated and taken it a step further."

"This internal skill, while retaining the orthodox principles of the Xuanmen, produces even purer and more refined internal energy, which is both continuous and resilient. It is indeed formidable. My Peach Blossom Island is truly indebted to you."
