Gou Zai Xian Cultivation in both the Immortal and Martial Realms and the Republic of China

Chapter 15 Body Refinement and Dual Breakthrough

The newcomer was named Zhou Chongyue, dressed in a white suit, and appeared to be middle-aged. He was the president of the Wangjiang branch of the Tongji Association, and thus the person in charge here.

However, the chairman almost never shows up at the usual meetings.

So the moment his voice rang out, Meng Yusen, Cheng Ting, and the others hurriedly went out to greet him.

At this moment, Zhou Chongyue was observing Fang Qi with great interest.

"President Zhou." Liu Yanru bowed respectfully, reminding Fang Qi who the visitor was.

"Greetings, Chairman Zhou." Fang Qi was slightly startled, but maintained a composed demeanor as he bowed.

According to Liu Yanru, this person is not only the president of this association, but also the head of the Qingyan Hall of the Black Dragon Society, a true master of internal energy transformation.

"Young Brother Fang, you can understand the Wind and Thunder Leg and the meridian circulation routes of Xingyi Quan at the Ming Jin Realm. Truly, every generation produces talented people."

Zhou Chongyue praised it again.

In short, what Fang Qigang just said was not an exaggeration, but the correct method for combining and operating the power of the two martial arts.

Cheng Ting, Zhou Wei, and Xu Fangjing, who had originally wanted to verify the facts themselves before drawing a conclusion, were immediately filled with admiration.

Ming Jin pointed out the difficulty in combining the two hidden strengths; it would be hard to find many people like him in the entire martial arts world of Tianjin.

However, unlike Xu Fangjing and the other two, Meng Yusen's face was ashen and ugly.

Chairman Zhou Chongyue agreed with what the man surnamed Fang said, and even though he was furious, he dared not utter a sound.

But he was unconvinced, so he suppressed his anger and tried to verify the error of this method by circulating his meridians and blood according to Fang Qi's instructions.

But when it's not running, it's nothing; but once it starts running, the entire meridian is like a railway built by Westerners, with blood and qi rushing through like a steam train.

As if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him from head to toe, Meng Yusen lowered his head.

Is it really as Master said, that heroes are as numerous as carp crossing a river, and that there are always higher heavens and more capable people?

"President, you flatter me. I am just an ordinary person and dare not call myself a talent."

Fang Qi had read novels about the Demonic Sect in his previous life, and whenever he heard the word "talent," he immediately thought of "talented individuals."

Therefore, "talented person" is not a good word to praise someone.

You should be especially wary of the person who utters this word.

"I have something to attend to today, I'll visit another day." Fang Qi bowed and then went downstairs.

Zhou Chongyue looked at Fang Qi with a deep gaze.

"This young man is no ordinary person." He said solemnly to Liu Yanru beside him, "An Ni's disappearance was not an accident."

"Let Lin Zhan and Lin Zhou do their job as guards properly. Don't have any other ideas for now, or you'll just end up like An Ni."

"Yes..." Liu Yanru was startled.

After spending these days with him, she did find that Fang Qi had many remarkable qualities, but what she didn't expect was that Master Zhou thought she might fall into his hands.

......

Fang Mansion, Lakeside Garden.

"Masters of internal energy transformation are indeed formidable."

Fang Qi looked at the dim detection talisman in his hand, still feeling lingering fear.

The detection talisman can detect up to the late stage of Qi Refining and Body Refinement, but this talisman detected nothing and its spiritual power was completely exhausted.

This shows that Chairman Zhou Chongyue's strength is at least at the Great Perfection of Body Refinement, or even stronger.

Facing such a person, let alone a few mid-grade talismans, even adding a high-grade flying sword would not be enough for someone at the third level of Qi Refining.

Fang Qi was not worried at all; instead, a smile appeared on his face.

"The stronger the internal energy, the more it proves that the martial arts of this world are practiced correctly!"

Thinking of this, he had a thought and sank into the depths of his soul to examine the latest deduction of the "Hun Yuan Gong" by the [Nine Heavens Mysterious Mirror].

He has already connected ninety-nine bones in his limbs and bones, and only the last bone is left to achieve perfect Ming Jin.

After achieving perfection, one can then attempt to break through to the Dark Force level according to the "Hun Yuan Gong".

For him, connecting this last bone was no challenge at all.

After taking tonics for two days, my Qi and blood are sufficient, and I feel relaxed and fulfilled.

Normally, this is when you can try to break through the barrier.

However, Fang Qi encountered a problem.

"The Hunyuan Gong has indeed progressed to the level of internal strength, but it skipped a crucial step."

The difference between overt and covert strength is a major obstacle that has stumped countless people.

The hidden strength opens the meridians and stretches the channels, while the visible strength reaches the limbs and bones. The natural barrier between the two is how qi and blood flow from the bones into the meridians.

Fang Qi was well-versed in the Ming Jin Bai Hai (a type of internal energy cultivation technique), and the Hun Yuan Gong (another type of internal energy cultivation technique) also made him clear about the twelve An Jin meridians. However, he had never actually come across the method to break through the barrier.

The previous Ming Jin martial arts were not mentioned, and since Meng Yusen and Cheng Ting of the Tongji Association were originally An Jin practitioners, they were not mentioned either.

For a time, the path of martial arts seemed to be stuck here.

"The first of the twelve meridians is the 'Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian.' This meridian is not directly connected to the rest of the body. To break through its barrier, a bridge must be built between the meridian and the bones..."

His current situation is equivalent to standing on the shore of Ming Jin (明劲), while An Jin (暗劲) is the visible opposite shore. As long as a bridge is built, the two sides will be connected.

How to build the bridge was what he needed to consider.

After pondering for a while without success, Fang Qi called Jia Si and Jia Nian over for a deep and simple discussion to clear his mind, which immediately broadened his thinking.

"Qi and blood cannot enter the Lung Meridian of Hand-Taiyin, but spiritual energy can."

"Let the spiritual energy first enter the meridians, then use the [Nine Heavens Mystic Mirror] to transform the spiritual energy into qi and blood..."

A wisp of spiritual energy surged from the dantian and gathered in front of the chest along the Lung Meridian of Hand-Taiyin.

"Change!"

[Nine Heavens Mysterious Mirror] flashes with golden light, and spiritual power transforms into qi and blood.

In an instant, a sense of enlightenment swept over him, and his strength surged throughout his body.

Hidden strength!

"It's done!"

Fang Qi's eyes lit up.

Look inward at yourself.

There is already a trace of Qi and blood in the Lung Meridian of Hand-Taiyin.

With both visible and hidden strength on both sides, the bridge was successfully built.

Next, you can begin to cultivate systematically according to the Dark Force chapter of the Hunyuan Gong.

"My physical strength is now very close to the fifth level of Body Refinement. Not bad, not bad."

He had originally planned to return to the cultivation world today, but since he had just broken through in martial arts, he decided to stay another day to consolidate his power.

In the evening, after things had basically stabilized, Fang Qi waved his hand and ordered an extra meal for the entire household.

Lin Zhan, Lin Zhou, Chen Qing, and other guards were speculating about what joyous occasion was taking place in the mansion when they spotted a certain gentleman admiring the moon under a tree in the distance.

"Sir, he..."

"Hidden strength!"

They all sensed the change in this old man; he had clearly reached the level of hidden strength!

Lin Zhan's expression immediately turned gloomy.

He spent more than half a year preparing, but still dares not try to knock on the door.

But what about the master? How long has it been?

From visible strength to hidden strength, it's that simple.

Is this what rich people are like?

Envy, jealousy, hatred.

Fang Qi, lying on the armchair, immediately sensed the emotional changes of the guards in the mansion.

As the patriarch of the Fang family, he leisurely turned his head and said considerately to his subordinates, "You've worked hard."

"Master." Chen Qing hurriedly bowed deeply.

"Master." Lin Zhan immediately bowed with a smile, changing his address from "sir" to "master."

Lin Zhou, standing to the side: "?"

......

Dongxi Sect.

"Breaking through to the Dark Force realm greatly increased my Qi and blood, and the [Different Paths, Same Destination] transformation into spiritual power finally allowed me to break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining."

On his first day back in the cultivation world, Fang Qi was pleasantly surprised to find that his breakthrough in martial arts had also greatly improved his Qi cultivation.

So he quickly sold the Blood Gold Essence, a secret medicine for qi and blood that he had brought back from the Republic of China, and then used spirit stones to buy ten bottles of Qi Gathering Pills and three bottles of Qi Condensing Pills.

After 21 days of secluded cultivation, he finally broke through the bottleneck of the mid-stage Qi Refining realm.

"At the mid-stage of Qi Refining, one needs to compress spiritual energy to irrigate and enrich the spiritual fields."

According to the "Five Elements Breathing Method", the spiritual field in the dantian is brown when the fourth layer of qi is refined, yellow when the fifth layer is refined, and black when the sixth layer is refined.

At this moment, Fang Qi's spiritual field was a light brown color.

"Martial arts and qi cultivation have truly complemented each other."

"Qi refinement helps one break through martial arts barriers. After martial arts are improved, qi and blood are transformed into spiritual power, which further enhances qi refinement cultivation."

Fang Qi felt refreshed and drank two bowls of spiritual porridge, but he didn't forget that he still had fish to feed.

Prepare the secret fish food with the Blood Qi Powder and go out to feed the fish.

The sun shines brightly as I open the courtyard gate.

Fang used his hand to cover his eyebrows and eyes, and looked around.

"what?"

To the left, in Ning Yanzu's courtyard, stood a female cultivator in a white dress.

This female cultivator had long, flowing hair, regular features, and outstanding beauty.

Ning Yanzu's Daoist partner?
