Chapter 20 Sword Skills Linghu Chong clasped his fists and said: "Although I have memorized those formulas, I really don't understand what meridians and acupuncture points are. I am illiterate, so those flowery words really give me a headache." Yue Buqun sighed. "Although you have a good memory, your foundation is really poor. This is not your fault. I will make up for it for you in the future." Then he turned his head and looked at Jin Renfeng, saying with a pleasant face, "Ren Feng, do you have any insights into this practice of meditation?" Jin Renfeng said, "I didn't gain much. I just felt the heat moving around in my meridians like a little mouse. The movement of the little mouse made my blood flow smoothly. Therefore, this hour of meditation was as relaxing as sleeping in bed." Yue Buqun showed a look of surprise and joy, and his internal energy circulated throughout his body. He had practiced internal skills for several days to achieve this state. Jin Renfeng was able to surpass his several days of hard training in just one hour, which showed that his talent in Qi training was ten times better than his. "This is a sign of great progress in inner strength!" "Great, great! With such talent, you are truly the Qilin child of our Huashan Sect!"
Yue Buqun laughed out loud. With such talent, no one in this world can rival him. . . . . . . At night, Jin Renfeng returned to his residence and sat on the bed to practice internal skills. Now, there is still some time before he accumulates enough cause and effect points to return to the fox demon world. During this period of time, it is a good opportunity for him to experience this new power. This way, when you return to the fox demon world, it would be equivalent to wasting several years. Although Huashan Internal Energy can be automatically practiced even in sleep, if it is actively operated, the practice speed will be more than twice as fast. After all, unconscious self-operation is ultimately inferior to active practice. Now he is competing with Linghu Chong for the position of the eldest senior brother. Although he does not care too much about this empty title, he would still like to fight for it if he can. Otherwise, he would be suppressed by the prodigal son Linghu Chong in the future. Speaking of Huashan internal energy, Jin Renfeng attached great importance to this internal energy. After all, this internal energy was the first extraordinary method he mastered. Although Huashan's internal skills are basic, they are not weak. In terms of history, both Guo Jing and Yang Guo started out with Quanzhen Zhenfa, the predecessor of Huashan internal energy. Both of the five supreme masters were trained by this Quanzhen Heart Method, which is enough to show that this method is extraordinary. In The Return of the Condor Heroes, Xiaolongnu once said that practicing martial arts is against the will of heaven, and the circulation of qi and blood is different from usual. However, every night when she goes to sleep, her qi and blood will inevitably circulate as usual, and nine out of ten of the martial arts acquired during the day will be consumed. In order to recover the losses during sleep, the Tomb Sect created a treasure, the Cold Jade Bed, to assist in practicing in sleep. However, this Quanxin Heart Method does not require any external objects at all. It is like having your own cold jade bed, which can bring the effect of practicing in dreams. Therefore, although the progress of this mental method is slow, practicing it in a dream is equivalent to increasing the speed 10 times. Combined with the practice of walking, standing, sitting and lying down, one slow and two fast, it is actually several times faster than other entry-level mental methods.
From the perspective of the time traveler Jin Renfeng, among all the internal skills of various sects, perhaps only the internal skills of the Wudang sect are better. After all, Wudang internal energy has a characteristic that the speed of practice becomes faster as time goes by, and in the later stages of practice, it is even better than Quanzhen internal energy. However, in the entry-level stage, Quanzhen Heart Method can be regarded as the best in Taoism. As his breath circulated, Jin Renfeng gradually entered a state of cultivation. The internal breath circulates back and forth in the meridians like a little mouse, circulating continuously. Every time he practiced his internal energy, the energy would expand like a balloon. Jin Renfeng was also slightly pleased about this. Only when he was practicing his inner strength could he intuitively experience the terrifying power of his own talent. The feeling of becoming stronger all the time is truly fascinating. The Huashan Internal Power has a very high level of mental ability. Even the laziest person can become a first-class master after practicing for decades. After all, even if you don’t practice it, your internal energy will operate automatically. Even those who become disciples at an older age like the Seven Masters of Quanzhen can achieve some success. However, the disadvantage is that the progress is slow in the later stages. As the skills become deeper, the slow progress of internal strength will gradually be magnified. Even practicing in a dream cannot make up for it, thus hindering the progress of the master's martial arts. Therefore, compared with various magical skills such as the Nine Yang Divine Art, it is still one level lower. Fortunately, the Huashan Sect is now dominated by the Qi Sect, and the internal skills are passed down perfectly. If the Huashan internal energy is practiced to perfection, there will be "Zixia Kung Fu" as a supplement. Therefore, Jin Renfeng was not worried about the problems in the later stages of practice. After practicing for two hours in a row, from the hour of Xu to the hour of Hai, Jin Renfeng finally finished his practice and rose up. It was almost midnight, and although Jin Renfeng was working hard, he didn't want to waste his energy. He then used the sleeping technique from his internal energy and fell into a deep sleep. . . . . . . In the early morning of the next day, we reached the summit of the Jade Maiden Peak on Mount Huashan. Yue Buqun brought Jin Renfeng and Linghu Chong to the top of the mountain. Each of them held a long iron sword in front of his chest. The sword was three feet long, and the two men were only a little over four feet tall, so it was quite difficult for them to hold the sword. "Master, this sword is too long. Can you change it to a shorter one so it will be easier for us to use?" Linghu Chong complained. Yue Buqun stroked his beard and said, "Swordsmanship requires constant improvement. As the saying goes, a slight error can lead to a huge loss. When fighting with others, if your swordsmanship is even slightly off, you may lose your life." "You are learning swordsmanship now, and it is the time to lay the foundation. If you change to a short sword, it will be more useful, but bad habits will be formed. The length and weight of the short sword are different from those of an ordinary long sword."
"When you grow up, your sword skills will inevitably change. Then it will be a hindrance to you." "So it's better to do it right away and practice with the official long sword directly to get used to it in advance." Linghu Chong thought it made sense and nodded. "That's what the master said." Yue Buqun let out a long breath, his deep internal strength made his breath very long. "I brought you two to the top of the mountain today to teach you my Huashan sword technique." "You two must practice seriously and not slack off." The two of them bowed and said, "Disciples will remember this." Jin Renfeng perked up, his eyes showing a hint of impatience. No matter in which world, swordsmanship is one of the top powers. In the fox demon world, swordsmanship is known as the number one offensive magic. The Wangquan Sword of the Wangquan family is also the only magic weapon that can compete with the sacred fire of the Shenhuo Mountain Villa. It is extremely difficult to learn top swordsmanship in the world of fox demons. Every exquisite swordsmanship is a secret of the Taoist Alliance, tightly held in the hands of major families, and sealed up. It is not allowed to be taught except to their own children. Even his master Dongfang Gu Yue was unable to gain a glimpse of the mysteries of swordsmanship, so he could only find another way and peek into it from some low-level swordsmanship. There is a sword technique in front of him now, and Jin Renfeng doesn't want to let it go. Even if the level of swordsmanship in this Huashan world is low, it can be used to lay the foundation for kendo. (End of this chapter)
