Ling Yi had never imagined that learning internal energy cultivation would be such a troublesome thing.
There is just so much to learn.
No wonder there are so few people in Jianghu Kung Fu Hustle world who know kung fu.
It's fair to say that anyone who can master the internal energy cultivation method could easily qualify for graduate school in the modern world.
After the three had a frank and open discussion, a simple alliance was formed.
In other words, we will help each other and make progress together in the future.
Ling Yi helps Hong Qigong and Huang Rong adapt to this world and helps them find a way back.
Hong Qigong and his companions were responsible for protecting Ling Yi's safety.
Ling Yi then took the opportunity to express his desire to learn martial arts.
According to Hong Qigong's original intention, he only planned to teach Ling Yi some simple movement techniques to deal with ordinary people.
Ling Yi is past the age of learning martial arts.
Moreover, after Hong Qigong's examination, it was found that Ling Yi's martial arts aptitude was very average, and learning martial arts would be a waste of time.
But how could Ling Yi be willing to accept this?
Whether it will work or not, we should at least give it a try.
"Martial arts are divided into two parts: external skills and internal skills. External skills are easier to learn, but internal skills are difficult to master," Hong Qigong said helplessly.
"External martial arts only require constant physical training and enduring hardship to achieve success, but it also requires years of practice. You, kid, probably can't endure that kind of hardship."
Ling Yi nodded. "What about those who can't endure hardship?"
Hong Qigong was right; Ling Yi probably really couldn't endure that kind of hardship.
"If you have extraordinary comprehension and outstanding talent, you can focus solely on cultivating internal energy, working from the inside out, without needing to endure such hardship."
"Then teach me internal energy cultivation first."
"Alright, I'll go to the trouble of teaching you this once. If you can develop Internal Breath in one night and internal Internal Energy in three days, I, the Old Beggar, will pass on all the knowledge I've learned in my life to you."
Ling Yi's eyes lit up. "Including the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms?"
"Nature includes."
Beside her, Huang Rong's lips curved into a beautiful smile. She glanced at Hong Qigong, then at Ling Yi, her eyes crinkling into lovely crescent moons.
Hong Qigong was clearly deceiving Ling Yi.
Can one night cultivate Internal Breath, and three days cultivate Internal Energy?
How many geniuses would it take to do that?
Even Huang Rong, who was personally taught by her father Huang Yaoshi from a young age, spent five years learning the basics, one year Perception Internal Breath, and three years cultivating Internal Energy.
It took another five years before he Acquired Fifth Stage of the Acquired Realm.
Developing Internal Breath overnight? Even Wang Chongyang back in the day couldn't do that.
Clearly, Hong Qigong wanted to discourage Ling Yi from practicing internal energy cultivation.
"The human body has twelve regular meridians and eight extraordinary meridians!" Hong Qigong explained while drawing a diagram of the human body's meridians on paper with a ballpoint pen.
The twelve meridians refer to the Gallbladder Meridian, Liver Meridian, Lung Meridian, Large Intestine Meridian, Stomach Meridian, Spleen Meridian, Heart Meridian, Small Intestine Meridian, Bladder Meridian, Kidney Meridian, Pericardium Meridian, and Triple Energizer Meridian!
Hong Qigong would draw a mark on the paper whenever he spoke of a particular place.
Ling Yi listened attentively and watched intently.
Fortunately, he now has Photographic Memory memory, easily remembering what Hong Qigong said and drew!
"The human body is a self-contained furnace, freely circulating!"
"These twelve meridians connect the vital energy of the five internal organs and six bowels in the human body, namely the heart, lungs, liver, spleen, kidneys, large intestine, small intestine, stomach, gallbladder, bladder, and triple burner."
"And make it follow the natural Changes of the Zhou Tian according to the twelve two- Shichen..."
This lecture lasted for more than four hours and included a total of thirty-six illustrations.
This includes acupoints, meridians, and the various circulatory principles of meridians, the concepts of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements within the body, and the principles of maintaining balance in the human body.
The complexity of it all far exceeded Ling Yi's imagination.
The more Ling Yi listened, the more impressed he became.
I really don't know how Hong Qigong remembered so much.
If all of these things were compiled, excluding the martial arts section, it could become a classic text of traditional Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Huang Rong was so sleepy that she went back to her room to sleep.
Hong Qigong was also hoarse from talking, so he grabbed a bottle of mineral water and took a sip.
Then he continued, "Remember these things first. There can be no mistakes or omissions, otherwise, the slightest error during cultivation will damage your meridians and internal organs."
"Uh, I've got it." Ling Yi said.
"What?" Hong Qigong was taken aback.
" Seventh Master, I Photographic Memory, and I also have a keen memory. I've remembered everything you've said."
"Kid, are you serious?" Hong Qigong clearly didn't believe him.
" Seventh Master, you can test me however you like," Ling Yi said with a confident smile.
Where is the Sanjiao acupoint?
Ling Yi touched a spot on his body.
"Where is the Chongmen acupoint, and the Waijian acupoint...?"
Hong Qigong suddenly began to doubt the meaning of life, looking at Ling Yi as if he were looking at some kind of monster.
It took him a full ten years to learn these basics!
" Seventh Master, how about you teach me internal energy first? I'll try it out."
Hong Qigong was stunned for a long time, then a look of hesitation appeared on his face.
After a moment, his expression became more serious as he said, "The internal energy I've learned mainly comes from two techniques. One is the Primordial Unity Heavenly Art, which I practiced when I first started learning. It's a mid-grade internal energy technique, not top-tier."
"However, it's still better than the average internal energy cultivation method found in the Jianghu."
"I'll teach you the Primordial Unity Heavenly Art first, and then we'll talk about it after you've condensed your Internal Energy."
"Thank Seventh Master!"
"You can thank me after you've mastered it, kid. Listen carefully to the incantation; I'll only say it once..."
The mental techniques and formulas are not written in many words and can be learned in just a few minutes.
"You can study it yourself first. I'm Old Beggar, I'm going to take a nap first."
After reciting the incantation, Hong Qigong yawned and left.
Ling Yi, on the other hand, began his first attempt at cultivation.
To be honest, Ling Yi didn't know if he could master it.
Photographic Memory is Photographic Memory, but talent is another.
Without the aptitude for cultivation, even if he has a photographic Photographic Memory, it's useless.
However, when Ling Yi sat cross-legged and began to cultivate, he discovered that the situation was completely different.
Entering a meditative state in three seconds, one can feel the Qi within ten seconds and generate Internal Breath on its own. Within ten minutes, the Internal Breath is condensed into the Dantian and becomes Internal Energy.
After half an hour, Ling Yi's Internal Energy settled steadily in his Dantian, signifying that his Internal Energy had been fully formed.
After that, he began to regulate his Internal Energy, circulating it Zhou Tian using the techniques of the Primordial Unity Heavenly Art.
It was equally smooth.
After completing one Great Zhou Tian, which took twenty minutes, Ling Yi's Internal Energy doubled in strength.
Ling Yi wanted to circulate his qi for another Zhou Tian, but a rumbling sound came from his stomach.
A terrible feeling of hunger washed over me.
Ling Yi knew that this was caused by excessive energy consumption in his body.
Internal Energy is not generated out of thin air; it requires the consumption of one's own energy to be converted into Internal Energy.
In Ling Yi's understanding, Internal Breath is roughly equivalent to the bioenergy circulating within the human body.
Perception Internal Breath involves enhancing one's Perception of Internal Breath energy through intention and certain specific actions.
The length of time it takes to Perception one's Internal Breath can reveal the level of a person's martial arts aptitude.
The shorter the time, the higher the qualification.
Only after Perception the Internal Breath can one use specific mental techniques and incantations to condense the Internal Breath with intention and thus form Internal Energy.
This Internal Energy should be a sublimated form of bioenergy.
To use an imperfect analogy, it's like converting thermal or wind energy into electrical energy.
Finally, storing the electrical energy in the battery completes the process of successfully condensing Internal Energy.
While munching on a sausage and instant noodles, Ling Yi sensed the flow of Internal Energy within his body.
"It's often said that Internal Energy is a panacea, and it's certainly true."
When applied to the ears, it can enhance hearing; when applied to the eyes, it can enhance vision; when applied to the hands and feet, it can enhance strength and Perception.
It circulates throughout the five internal organs, gradually Healing, Body Strengthening, and consolidating its foundation.
In Ling Yi's view, condensing Internal Energy is the process of refining biological energy into a higher level of energy, which is then fed back to the self to evolve itself.
Ling Yi finished the last of the instant noodles and sausages, and this time he felt less hungry.
"Well, now you've become Big Eater."
For at least a considerable period of time, Ling Yi will maintain his Big Eater state; the more he burns, the more he naturally eats.
Unless the Internal Energy in the Dantian reaches saturation.
"No wonder Seventh Master said that all internal Facheng Internal Energy require strengthening the stomach meridian first. If the digestive ability is not strong enough, it will greatly affect the speed of cultivation!"
However, Ling Yi dared not cultivate now, otherwise, the little food he ate probably wouldn't be enough to support him for even one Zhou Tian of cultivation.
Just like Hong Qigong and Huang Rong, they have both reached their respective bottlenecks.
Once the Internal Energy in the Dantian is saturated, the need for energy will only increase again unless one breaks through to the next realm.
Moreover, it's best to eat highly nutritious foods during this period.
The higher the cultivation level, the more energy is required to complete one Zhou Tian of cultivation.
Once you reach the Acquired Fifth Stage, ordinary food, even if you eat until your stomach explodes, won't be enough to sustain you for a single Zhou Tian.
This is why martial arts practitioners need to consume certain rare and precious medicinal herbs.
For example, ginseng or something like that.
The higher one's realm, the greater the demand for rare and precious materials.
"Ginseng, that stuff must be expensive. Looks like I need to hurry up and make some money."
It was almost dawn when Ling Yi sat down at his Computer and began to continue working on the songs and the script.
Around six o'clock in the morning, Ling Yi went out and bought dozens of steamed buns and rice porridge.
There are plenty of buns in various flavors.
Ling Yi ate more than twenty large steamed buns before he felt full again.
Then continue cultivating your Internal Energy!
At seven o'clock, Huang Rong got up.
Upon seeing Ling Yi Ling Yi meditating cross-legged and Perception the Internal Energy within him, Dawei immediately shocked.
She leaned closer to Ling Yi, and after confirming that Ling Yi had indeed cultivated Internal Energy, she was completely dumbfounded.
Just then, Hong Qigong also got up.
Seeing Huang Rong lean closer to Ling Yi, bending down to observe something, she asked curiously, " Rong Girl, have you taken a fancy to this boy?"
Huang Rong rolled her eyes, pointed at Ling Yi, and said, " Seventh Master, your martial Kung Fu Hustle are probably going to benefit Young Master Ling!"
"If someone truly cultivates Internal Energy overnight, how can you promise them that?"
"Huh?" Hong Qigong was taken aback.
He instantly appeared before Ling Yi, carefully Perception his surroundings, and exclaimed in disbelief, "How is this possible?"
"This kid's aptitude is clearly terrible, how could he...?"
At that moment, Ling Yi had already circulated his internal energy Zhou Tian, and his Internal Energy had become even more abundant.
After opening her eyes, she looked at Hong Qigong speechlessly and said, " Seventh Master, so you were just fooling me last night?"
"Cough cough, how could that be? Of course not, didn't the Old Beggar teach you the internal energy cultivation method?"
Ling Yi didn't expose him, but thought to himself, "Could this be the real cheat code I have after transmigrating?"
