In fact, there is no perfect state of skin refining and meat refining. As the martial arts cultivation level increases, each time the level of cultivation is improved, skin refining and meat refining will automatically be carried out to strengthen the physical body.
However, if you do not practice enough in each realm of the ten levels of body refining, you will not be able to go far on the road of cultivation, and the possibility of breaking through the innate will become very slim, unless you get a great opportunity, such as heavenly materials and earthly treasures, enlightenment, etc. But a strong physical body is also needed as the foundation. If the physical body is not strong enough, it may not be able to withstand the opportunity and become either a cripple or a dead person.
Therefore, in Zhenwu Continent, a rough measurement standard has been summarized for the ten levels of body training. Only when this standard is reached can it be considered that the training is successful.
The body refining realm is divided into ten heavens, namely the skin refining realm, the meat refining realm, the bone refining realm, the membrane refining realm, the tendon refining realm, the pulse refining realm, the blood refining realm, the marrow refining realm, the viscera refining realm, and the viscera refining realm. .
According to the changes in strength and physical body in different realms, it is divided into four stages.
The skin refining, meat refining, and bone refining realms are called the early stages of body refining, the membrane refining, tendon refining, and pulse refining realms are called the middle body refining stages, and the blood refining and marrow refining realms are called the late body refining stages. The viscera refining realm and the fu organ refining realm are called the pinnacle of body refining.
After completing the peak body training, you can start to break through the innate realm.
There is a legend in the Zhenwu Continent that there is a state of perfection beyond the peak of body refining, but how to reach the Great Perfection and what the state of the Great Perfection is has not been spread.
Generally speaking, a warrior's strength reaches 600 kilograms, equivalent to the strength of 1 ox, which can basically be regarded as passing the skin refining stage, because at this time, the impurities on the surface of the skin have basically been excreted from the body, and the external energy and internal energy can be easily It penetrates well into the surface layer of the skin and will not affect subsequent practice.
When the warrior's strength reaches 1,000 kilograms, which is equivalent to the strength of a tiger, it can be regarded as passing the meat-refining stage. At this time, the explosive power, endurance and toughness of the warrior's muscles will reach a relatively high level.
The warrior's strength reaches 2000 kilograms, which is equivalent to the strength of 2 tigers. It can be regarded as the completion of the bone refining stage. At this time, the warrior's physical strength has reached the limit in the world. The bones in the whole body are as hard as iron bones and the muscles are as powerful as horned dragons. The skin is extremely tough, it can be said to be copper skin and iron bones, and it is completely powerful and powerful.
The blood refining realm is also called the blood exchange realm. This realm requires the blood to be condensed, so that the blood density increases and becomes viscous, which can carry more nutrients and energy. Finally, it reaches a state like mercury, which is considered a pass.
The marrow refining realm is a very difficult realm. This realm requires enhancing the hematopoietic ability of the bone marrow, including the quantity and quality of blood. There are many ways to practice. Some martial arts practitioners perform it by directly replacing the blood, and some martial arts practitioners promote it by inscribing runes. There are many other ways, but all lead to the same goal.
The purpose of the membrane refining realm is to form a tough membrane on the bones to protect them.
The realm of tendon refining, pulse refining, viscera refining, and fu organ refining is the literal meaning. In short, it is to enhance strength and ability.
During the training process of a warrior from the middle stage to the peak, the strength will continue to increase, but the amount of increase depends on the degree of training.
In addition to the above passive martial arts training from the outside in, there is also an inside-out martial arts training. Once martial arts reaches a high level, it mainly relies on this latter training method.
Martial arts practitioners cultivate the internal energy of the human body, which is true energy, or the vitality of the human body, which comes from the heaven and earth in the human body.
The amount and quality of human vitality have become the main factors that determine the level of martial arts.
When practicing martial arts, you need to first go into silence, and then take deep abdominal breaths to guide the qi with your mind. The qi will flow away with your mind, and the qi will sink in the Dantian under the abdomen, guiding the vitality in the human body to move along a certain route. As it continues to move, , the vitality is strengthened and increased, and the physical body is also strengthened.
There are three sources of vitality: the innate Qi brought by the baby, the subtle Qi in the acquired food, the acquired vitality generated by the body's growth, and the vitality generated when the body repairs itself after daily use of the body.
A martial artist can use the method of leading the energy with the mind, leading the energy with the mind, transporting the vitality in the Dantian or certain meridians with the mind, pushing the vitality to run in the meridians, and opening up each node. Once all are opened, a cycle will be formed, and the meridians where it is located will be formed. It got through.
Every time the sky moves along the meridians, the vitality will be strengthened.
Every time a meridian is opened, a certain area of the physical body can be strengthened. If the twelve main meridians are opened, the whole body can be strengthened.
This is martial arts training from the inside out.
Of course, in order to realize this kind of movement of vitality from the inside out, the first thing that needs to be solved is to use the mind to control the energy, which is what cultivators call the sense of energy. However, the warrior senses the internal energy of the human body, and what is sensed is the internal energy of the human body. A cultivator has a sense of Qi both internally and externally, and what he senses is the vitality of the heaven and earth in the outer world.
This method of body refining requires the establishment of Qi sense first, which is difficult at the beginning, but once successful, one can achieve both the skin refining realm and the flesh refining realm at the same time.
Han Xiaosheng has never been able to generate a sense of energy, which is why he has never been able to get started with the Qingmu Longevity Technique.
Old Man Feng did not mention how to establish the Qi sense during the counseling. He only taught Han Xiaosheng how to understand the operation of the exercises and how to identify the acupuncture points throughout the body, because in his opinion, how to establish the Qi sense is a must for those who are interested in cultivation. He knew common sense, but Han Xiaosheng came from another world and didn't understand this kind of common sense.
In fact, there are these common-sense exercises in books on the basic knowledge of cultivation. However, Han Xiaosheng disliked the difficulty of reading traditional Chinese characters and did not prioritize translation and reading. As a result, he could only follow the description of Qingmu Longevity Kung Fu and sense it over and over again. Unable to find the trick, it has been difficult to get started with Qi refining.
In the end, he remembered his water attribute power, changed his mind, and took a shortcut, and then started practicing the Black Water Art.
However, now that he learned about the technique of guiding Qi with the mind from martial arts experience books, he realized that he had taken a detour.
Whether you are practicing martial arts or practicing Taoism, understanding the sense of Qi is a threshold that must be crossed. Otherwise, you can only practice superficial external skills and cannot practice to a high level. Therefore, among the basic knowledge, there will be techniques to cultivate the sense of Qi.
For example, martial arts cultivators, Liu Daneng gave his experience on martial arts mind training, which is called Peiyuan Juyi Gong. By practicing this Peiyuan Juyi Gong, martial arts cultivators can quickly build up the sense of Qi, five times faster.
Realizing his problem, Han Xiaosheng quickly found a book on the basics of cultivation from his storage ring. After flipping through it for a long time, he found a basic exercise named Peiyuan Sensing Ling Gong. The description in the exercise showed that , by practicing this spiritual skill of cultivating the sense of energy, the cultivator can quickly establish the sense of energy, ten times faster.
After comparing the Peiyuan Sensing Ling Gong and Peiyuan Juyi Gong, they are very similar. They both cultivate the Yuan first, that is, cultivate the vitality. Only when the vitality is sufficient can the vitality in the body and the vitality of heaven and earth be sensed.
When Han Xiaosheng was in Kunpeng Ju, he had taken water-attribute spiritual fruits many times. The water-attribute energy in his body was sufficient, which just met this requirement. It enhanced his sensitivity to the water element outside the body, so he was able to awaken the water-attribute power by chance.
Now that he wants to practice martial arts, he plans to swallow spiritual fruits to increase the concentration of vitality in his body, and then practice the Peiyuan Gathering Skill. By then, it will be much easier to sense the vitality in his body.
Considering that the power of the earth element comes from the earth and its defensive characteristics are outstanding, he plans to start with the earth element and start refining the body from the inside out in martial arts. As for the wild body refining method, which requires the cooperation of medicinal baths, he plans to return to Long Jiang will practice again in the future, and he does not want to give up either method.
Han Xiaosheng took a bath first and sat quietly on the chair for a while. When he felt calm, he took out a few yellow spiritual fruits, washed them clean, and ate one directly.
After just waiting for a while, a burst of energy was generated from the stomach and quickly spread throughout the body.
Han Xiaosheng did not dare to neglect, and began to follow the method of Peiyuan Juyi Gong, positioning his body, and began to carefully sense the flow of energy in his body.
He felt that many yellow light spots followed the meridians and blood vessels, spreading out of the blood vessels and meridians little by little along the way, and disappeared into the physical body.
After the energy calmed down and disappeared throughout his body, Han Xiaosheng began to meditate quietly, imagining that there was a small group of yellow air flowing continuously in his Dantian.
After you feel that the image of the ball of air is clear in your imagination, continue to imagine that the ball of air begins to rise slowly towards the umbilicus point. After imagining the air ball rotating around the umbilicus point, it continues to move forward, just like this, along the Along the route of the Ren meridian, it ascends from the abdomen to the chest, passes through the throat, reaches the chin, surrounds the lips and divides into two strands, and then goes up along the cheeks and runs to the bottom of the eye sockets.
After running it over and over again, he gradually began to enter the state and formed a kind of inertia.
When he stopped and looked, it was already 9 o'clock. Such a practice actually took almost two hours, which is an hour. In Han Xiaosheng's feeling, only a few minutes had passed. It seemed that this was the secret of practice. Yes, you don’t know the passage of time when you practice cultivation.
Han Xiaosheng closed his eyes and sensed the outside of his body. During the sensing, the blue water element outside the body was still very close, and the yellow earth element light spots also created some sense of closeness.
After sensing the body again, the blue water attribute Qi in the body's Dantian was under control. The sporadic yellow earth element light spots in the Dantian also produced some sense of intimacy, and in the meridians of the body,...
In other words, both the earth element within the body and the earth element outside the body have already developed a sense of closeness. Although it is still very weak, it has also made a small step forward.
If he continues, his thoughts will soon be able to drive these earth elements. By then, whether he is driving the earth elements outside his body or the earth elements in his body, he will be able to do so with ease.
Feeling that it was still a bit early, he ran along this route many times until the time reached eleven o'clock, then went to bed.
