You kid! You don't have to be so low-key! !

Chapter 136: Wang next door, martial arts cut off

Time passes by quietly without us noticing.

Huo Wanhe finally reached the last step. Looking at Changqing who was in meditation, Huo Wanhe couldn't help but look at him twice more with a strange gaze. She also heard the discussions below, and it was the kind that she would never forget once she heard it.

Huo Wanhe suddenly felt that this guy was quite pitiful, and he had unknowingly gained this nickname.

There was a hint of amusement on his face. Suddenly, a voice rang in his mind: "After you get a rank, follow that guy's example and sit there for a while to see what you can figure out."

Huo Wanhe didn't expect that it would be her turn so soon, but when she thought that it was her grandfather's order, her face bitter and she had to agree.

When Huo Wanhe sat not far from Changqing, he began to practice.

This scene shocked all the disciples and elders, and they were confused.

"This is... another one that has been squeezed silly?" a disciple said.

"Another masochist..." Before the disciple could finish his words, he felt a tremendous pressure coming at him and had to shut up quickly.

Well! This guy has someone above him, so I can't afford to offend him.

Bai Shan and Wu Zhengyang glanced at each other, and the corners of their mouths twitched slightly. Then Shen Yu and Wei Yan also seemed to have received some orders, their faces froze, and they began to rush towards the finish line.

Even Zhong Baixuan and Yun Qinghan were the same, their faces were as black as the bottom of a pot.

Gradually, on the last step, more and more disciples who had obtained places sat cross-legged, closing their eyes to resist the huge pressure, with extremely painful expressions.

Except for Changqing, this guy actually looked like he was enjoying it.

An hour passed quietly, and people on the stairs kept standing up because they could not resist the pressure, while others sat down and took their place.

Huo Wanhe gritted her teeth and looked at the figure wearing the silver mask from time to time. She almost gave up several times during this period, but in the end, her unwillingness to admit defeat and her unwillingness to bow her head kept her going until now.

The first round of qualification selection will last for two hours, and there are already nearly a thousand people on the finish line platform.

Seeing that the time was almost up, the handsome uncle cleared his throat and said, "The first round of competition has ended. Disciples from each sect should return to their cushions to rest first. The second round of competition will begin in one day."

After the handsome uncle finished speaking, the pressure on the stairs instantly dissipated, and many disciples who were still climbing but had not achieved a ranking looked gloomy.

Changqing also felt the pressure dissipate, so he stood up and stretched.

This action made Huo Wanhe speechless, but her expression became solemn. She vaguely felt Changqing's terror.

"Hey! What's your name, the guy wearing the mask?" Huo Wanhe asked involuntarily.

"Huh? Are you calling me?" Chang Qing looked at the girl.

"Nonsense, who else should I call if not you? Hurry up and speak." Huo Wanhe said in a condescending tone.

Chang Qing teleported to Huo Wanhe's side, tapped the girl on the head with a chestnut, and said in a scolding voice:

"Asking for advice in this tone, it's rude."

The chestnut's force was so strong that Huo Wanhe's tears came out instantly.

"You..." Huo Wanhe almost took action, but found that Changqing had already walked away.

"I won't call you, you can call me... um... Wang Gebi." Chang Qing gave himself a name.

The girl didn't think much about it. She waved her fist at Chang Qing's back and said, "Okay, I'll remember you, Wang Gebi. I will definitely knock you down in the second round."

"Okay, I'll wait for you! Just don't cry when the time comes." Chang Qing waved his hand and flew downwards.

Changqing found a cushion and sat cross-legged on it to start practicing.

Just now on the steps, Changqing discovered that it is indeed possible to temper the body's qi and blood, making it more active and more condensed.

However, tempering blood and qi is not something that can be accomplished overnight. It requires long-term training. What Changqing is thinking about now is how to imitate such a formation to facilitate the cultivation of blood and qi.

He also gradually figured out some of the mysteries of the martial arts realm. If he wanted to reach the Kaidan realm in the lower Qi sea where Qi and blood were located, he could only break through the shackles by constantly refining Qi and blood. Therefore, this formation has now become a necessity for Qi and blood cultivation.

While Changqing was meditating, he could still feel people's eyes passing through his body from time to time.

"My dear friend next door, I am the patriarch of the Xuanhuo family, Huo Xuan~" The voice of the Xuanhuo patriarch suddenly rang in Changqing's mind.

Changqing raised his head and looked upwards, only to see that the clan leader was resting with his eyes closed and talking to Changqing in secret.

Changqing's spiritual consciousness responded: "Greetings to Chief Huoxuan. I wonder why you came to see me?"

"Haha~ My friend is indeed smart. I see that you have a strong body and extraordinary talent. I want to ask if you have practiced martial arts?" Huo Xuan's voice echoed in his heart.

"Chief Xuanhuo, I have not practiced any martial arts. I just have this physique after experiencing the stage of preparation." Chang Qing just got the reminder from the handsome uncle and responded here

"Is it really so?" asked the Xuanhuo clan leader.

"I dare not deceive Chief Xuanhuo on this matter." Changqing said.

"My friend, I don't know if you have enough resources for cultivation. If you have any difficulties, you can ask me." Huo Xuan's words clearly showed that he wanted to poach people.

"I am a junior who has received great love from Sect Master Ji. I have enough resources for cultivation. Thank you for your concern, Patriarch Xuanhuo." Changqing declined.

"It's okay. If you have any difficulties in the future, if my Xuanhuo family can help, we will definitely not shirk it." Seeing that he failed to recruit him, Huo Xuan changed his words and said make friends.

"Then I, the junior, would like to thank Chief Xuanhuo." Changqing expressed his gratitude.

Afterwards, Bai Shan and Wu Zhengyang both sent messages, and their questions were similar, first testing the waters and then poaching the talents.

Chang Qing refused and thanked them one by one, and he became more and more confused. These people seemed to be very interested in the method of physical cultivation.

When he was puzzled, the handsome uncle finally "connected" with himself

"Kid, how about it? Which one are you going to?" The handsome uncle came up and made a joke first.

Changqing didn't answer, and the handsome uncle also knew Changqing's character and didn't think about answering.

"Boy, are you curious about why they are so obsessed with the method of cultivating the physical body?" The handsome uncle smiled and got to the point.

"Is there any secret?" Chang Qing asked

"I knew you were smart. You got the point right as soon as I asked you."

The handsome uncle continued:

"Yes, the method of physical cultivation is indeed somewhat secretive. Nowadays, the physical body created by martial arts will eventually decay. And now, the life span of practitioners is hundreds of times higher than that of martial arts practitioners. Therefore, martial arts is now also called a dead end road."

"As the human race prospered, they became more obsessed with cultivating the Dao, and those martial arts traditions disappeared, declined, or were lost."

"As the situation has developed to this day, the human race no longer knows the steps to practice martial arts, and can only reach the Great Martial Arts Sect level, which is the pinnacle. Moreover, most of those who practice are mortals without spiritual roots." The handsome uncle talked about the current situation of martial arts.

But then he changed the subject: "Legend has it that tens of thousands of years ago, practitioners of physical bodies were very common and extremely powerful. There were many cases where practitioners of physical body martial arts completely crushed practitioners of Taoism at the same level. At that time, martial arts was the orthodoxy, and Taoism was just a supplement but not the main focus."

"Now you understand. The fact that you reached the summit today without using any spiritual power and only relying on your physical body is enough to explain the problem. After all, ordinary great martial arts masters cannot withstand the pressure of a mountain. This is why these people tested you."

After the handsome uncle explained the whole thing, Changqing fell into deep thought.

Is the martial arts lost? Is it because they can't find the lower qi sea? Or do humans no longer have the lower qi sea? Or maybe...

Changqing felt that he had grasped some information.
