Chapter 650: The Power of Warriors (Part 2)
Warriors with military backgrounds will basically hold important positions and are even expected to join the enshrinement corps.
Moreover, under the same conditions, warriors usually practice much faster than cultivators, and their qualification requirements are also lower than cultivators. The efficiency of forming combat power is high, the number of training materials is large, and they are basically incapable of magic, and they pose little threat to the rulers. Naturally, they have become the focus of training for human dynasties. Even the Royal Enshrinement Corps of the Song Dynasty had a large number of extraordinary warriors, who could serve as vanguards, guards, and enemy blockers.
When practicing as a warrior, the first priority is to train the physical body and exercise muscles and bones, so even those with low qualifications can achieve results as long as they work hard and persist in training, because physical training has faster results. Moreover, practicing martial arts can also hone your will. As the saying goes, "Practice in the winter and practice in the summer." A person who is successful in martial arts will have a stronger spirit than the average person.
After the martial artist has exercised to the point where he can freely control the muscles and bones of the whole body and can master the spiritual transformation, he must start to master the qi and blood of the whole body and condense the essence, blood and true qi. Among cultivators, this stage is also called "refining and transformation". "Qi", that is, refining the essence, blood and internal Qi of the human body, turning it into true Qi and magic power. Once the true energy is condensed, it is like a cleansing of the marrow, which can remove some of the dirt in the body, improve physical fitness, and prolong life.
It's just that people who are qualified to become cultivators can usually directly sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth with their souls with the help of cultivation techniques, absorb it, and quickly turn it into true energy and mana. This process is also called "qi entrainment" in the world of cultivation. "Entering the body" is the entry-level stage for cultivators. Therefore, cultivators can usually prolong their lives in the early stages of cultivation, which also lays the foundation for long-term cultivation in the future.
Because the qualifications of warriors are generally not as good as those of cultivators, they must train their bodies to the stage of "penetration" where they can control the muscles, bones and blood flow of the whole body, in order to strengthen their hearts and condense their essence and blood into true energy. In addition to extending life and enhancing the power of moves, this kind of true energy can also replace mana to activate magic tools and spells, but the efficiency is much lower than that of cultivators. Such warriors are usually called "acquired warriors".
However, the premise of all this is that there are enough resources for the human body to consume. After all, low-level warriors are not like cultivators who can also absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for cultivation. Ordinary people, if they cannot take in enough food, will only become more injured when practicing martial arts. Finally, their essence and blood will be exhausted, they will become haggard and vomit blood and die.
Essence and blood are the combination of body essence and blood essence. Both of these are only produced when there is enough food for the human body to digest. Each bit represents the consumption of a large amount of resources. Eat meat to grow meat, and grow meat to build muscles. Therefore, skilled martial artists cannot emerge from the poor. As the saying goes, "poor in literature and rich in martial arts", poor people who work hard all day long for three meals a day do not have enough time to practice martial arts, nor do they have enough food to replenish the body's energy after practicing martial arts to generate essence and blood. deficit.
As long as a warrior works hard and is nourished by meat, medicinal materials and other resources, his essence and blood will gradually increase through continuous training. When a martial artist practices until the whole body is full of essence and blood, the bone marrow is condensed like frost, and the qi and blood are surging like smoke, they can try to condense the essence points in the brain to develop spiritual power.
This Jingyuan acupoint is also the legendary Xuanguan acupoint, or the Niwan Palace in monastic terms. It is the key acupoint connecting the body and brain, body and spirit. Once it is condensed and filled with Qi and blood, the body can feed the spirit back, increase energy and nourish the soul.
Among the qualifications required by cultivators, the most important one is that the soul is stronger than ordinary people, which is conducive to practicing spells and induction to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth; the second is that the body's meridians are unobstructed, so that the spiritual energy can be circulated and refined in the body, and the cultivation level can be increased. .
After a warrior has reached the stage of "penetrating the spirit", the meridians in his body have been exercised very smoothly. After condensing the Jingyuan acupoints and nourishing his soul, his qualifications have reached or even surpassed the average qualifications of a cultivator. From then on, he can Sensing and absorbing the aura of heaven and earth.
After absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the true energy refined from the essence and blood in the body will combine with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, becoming a power that is different from the cultivator's magic power. This power is more concentrated and agile, and has a higher degree of blessing to the body than magic power. , and it can also greatly increase the shooting speed and attack power, and can also release the true energy, enhance the defense power and attack distance.
And because it can continuously absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to make up for its consumption with the automatic movement of qi and blood in the body, it is also called "innate true energy". Once the innate true energy is refined, with the baptism of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth outside and the transformation of the soul driving the evolution of the body within, the warrior will spontaneously enter a deeper stage of purifying the essence and marrow, greatly improving the roots, purifying the body, and strengthening the soul. "Reborn".
Once the "rebirth" is completed, the warrior's lifespan will be greatly increased, up to 300 years old, and he will be able to control the air and fly for a short period of time, and his maneuverability will be greatly increased. This kind of warrior is an "innate warrior".
The power level of an innate warrior is just like the stage between "introducing qi into the body" and "refining qi to transform into a god" among cultivators, and their melee strength is no less than that of ordinary cultivators who refine qi to transform into a god. Therefore, even in the eyes of cultivators, innate warriors have great status. Similarly, in the "Recruitment Order" issued by the Song Dynasty court, once an innate warrior is willing to join the court, he will be given treatment no less than that of a general.
This is the training of a warrior. Although it is difficult in the early stage, once you succeed, you can cross two major stages and be directly on an equal footing with those cultivators who have practiced for hundreds of years to reach the stage of refining energy and becoming gods! This also inspired the enthusiasm of the majority of warriors to practice martial arts. Of course, there was also the secret promotion of the imperial court.
However, going from an acquired warrior to an innate warrior is a leap in life level, and it cannot be achieved casually. Even if it means risking one's life, not even one of the ten acquired peak warriors can become an innate warrior. And those who fail usually don't end well.
Because the human brain is very fragile, and the power of essence, blood and true energy is very powerful. Without extremely precise control, perseverance, determination to break through bottlenecks, and good luck, you will fail, and once you fail, It can range from the dissipation of Qi and blood and a great loss of cultivation to the explosion of acupuncture points, brain concussion, and sudden death on the spot. It was a narrow escape.
Reaching the sky in one step is not that easy.
The steps of a warrior's cultivation were originally summarized spontaneously by ordinary people. Although they have become a system, the level is not high due to low vision and cultivation. Generally, they only stay at the stage of acquired warriors. Occasionally, there are a few who advance to become innate warriors. Basically, they advance by accident or by chance, such as swallowing heavenly materials and earthly treasures or in life or death crises or situations. A sudden enlightenment and breakthrough inspired by inspiration. Without sufficient knowledge and experience, no one can summarize the complete progression rules.
