Chapter 14: Zhu Yan's Demon Subduing Fist
Jiang Shengnan originally thought that Zhang Fan had a certain talent in meditation, which was why he was able to reach the third level.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Fan, who is only 18 years old this year, has been practicing meditation for 12 years!
12 years!
This means that Zhang Fan has been practicing meditation since he was 6 years old. This is really a bit... exaggerated!
Children are different from adults. They have active minds, lively natures and high energy.
You are too young and not suitable for practicing static exercises. This is suppressing your nature!
Generally speaking.
After going through the rebellious period of adolescence and reaching high school, one will gradually come into contact with static exercises.
Zhang Fan is good...
“It seems like you have a good foundation!”
Jiang Shengnan regained her indifferent expression: "Let's get started!"
"Before you officially start refining Qi, you need to understand two concepts!"
"One is the method of eating qi!"
"The second is the method of refining Qi!"
"Do you know the difference between the two?"
Once you have achieved the initial level of physical stillness in meditation, you can basically start practicing Qi!
Many newcomers are at this level!
"of course I know!"
Zhang Fan nodded: "The method of eating qi refers to the method of absorbing the innate qi!"
"So far, there is only one method of eating qi - the Five Hearts to Heaven method!"
"However, people's appetite is limited, and they will eat so much at each meal that they will be full!"
"The same is true for absorbing the innate Qi. Once the body is saturated, it cannot absorb more!"
"This involves the method of refining Qi!"
"The Qi-refining method can allow the body to quickly refine and absorb the innate Qi!"
"While strengthening the physique, it can also allow Titan warriors to absorb more innate Qi!"
Let’s make a simple analogy:
The method of eating Qi is equivalent to how to eat.
The method of refining Qi is equivalent to quickly absorbing the food you eat, thereby increasing your food intake.
These two methods are what any Titan warrior must master!
Currently, there is only one recognized method of eating Qi - the Five Hearts Facing Heaven Method!
There are many ways to refine Qi. The forms after transformation are different, and the methods of refining Qi are completely different!
“You have a solid foundation!”
Jiang Shengnan rarely praised him: "If that's the case, you should know the Five Hearts to Heaven Technique, right?"
"Yes, teacher!"
Zhang Fan nodded.
“Show it!”
Jiang Shengnan said indifferently: "If there is a problem, I will correct it!"
"Uh-huh!"
Zhang Fan sat cross-legged upon hearing this, lifted his left foot to the base of his right thigh, and bent his right foot to the base of his left thigh, so that the soles of his feet were facing the sky.
Place your palms facing the sky naturally on your legs, so that all four palms are facing the sky.
The Baihui point on the top of the head is regarded as the center of the head, and naturally faces the sky. This is the five hearts facing the sky!
“The movements are very standard!”
Jiang Shengnan nodded: "Next, empty your mind and enter a state of meditation!"
Zhang Fan took a deep breath and listened to his own breathing. This is the breathing listening method!
With each breath, the brain gradually empties and the mind completely relaxes.
I soon entered a state of oblivion, a state of confusion and unconsciousness where I forgot about the world and myself.
"Feel carefully, and you will find that there are a lot of white light spots around you!"
"These white spots of light are the innate Qi. Capture them through breathing!" Jiang Shengnan's voice, like a soft sound, quietly sounded in Zhang Fan's mind.
Zhang Fan, who was in a daze, began to sense it carefully after hearing this.
Sure enough, I found that there were dense white light spots floating around my body.
There were so many white light spots that filled the air and formed a white ocean.
Seeing these white spots of light, Zhang Fan instinctively felt a strong desire deep in his heart.
Eat their desire!
So, driven by instinct, Zhang Fan opened his mouth and sucked.
Wrapped in the air, a large number of white light spots poured into Zhang Fan's mouth, and as he swallowed, they entered the throat, trachea, bronchi, and lungs in turn.
The moment the white light entered his lungs, a sense of satisfaction from the depths of his soul arose, so much so that Zhang Fan's body began to tremble.
How to describe it?
It feels like my body is very, very hungry and I haven’t eaten for more than ten years!
When you suddenly get something to eat, the feeling of satisfaction, joy and fulfillment is self-evident.
The body went crazy!
Every cell turns into a hungry wolf, madly devouring the white spots of light pouring into the body!
The cells are quietly undergoing earth-shaking changes, and the DNA is also undergoing subtle changes.
At the macro level, bone density is increasing, muscle toughness is strengthening...
The levels of life are evolving!
Zhang Fan was in a daze, and his body, driven by instinct, kept emitting white spots of light.
With each breath, white spots of light representing the innate qi enter the body through the mouth and nose.
This is called eating Qi!
The whole process is almost like breathing air!
From Jiang Shengnan's perspective, she could clearly see white spots of light entering Zhang Fan's mouth and nose, and then into his lungs.
"This efficiency..."
Jiang Shengnan narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly: "Is this really his first time eating Qi?"
All spiritual practice begins with meditation!
Generally, newcomers’ minds easily wander due to their inability to practice meditation well!
Therefore, during the process of eating Qi, people often get distracted, resulting in extremely low efficiency of eating Qi!
The direct consequence of low efficiency is that the speed of eating Qi is very slow!
It's just like a child eating, he is distracted and can take him half a day to finish a bowl of rice.
This situation does not exist for Zhang Fan!
He entered into a state of meditation very thoroughly, with his mind completely focused, and therefore his efficiency in consuming Qi was very high. He did not look like a newbie consuming Qi for the first time at all!
This made Jiang Shengnan very puzzled. Even though Zhang Fan came from a large family and even though he had been trained as a Titan warrior since childhood, his foundation was very solid.
But it can't be that exaggerated, right?
Little did she know that Zhang Fan, as a time traveler, had aspired to become a Titan warrior since he was a child.
For this day, he exercised, practiced meditation, and did all the preparations!
As the saying goes, one may sharpen a knife for ten years but never use it for ten years. Now that it is finally unsheathed, it will surely cut through iron like mud!
Time passed quietly, and before he knew it, two hours had passed and Zhang Fan opened his eyes.
Just now, he felt that his body was finally "full" and no longer absorbed the white light spots.
Zhang Fan knew that his body was saturated and could no longer absorb any more innate Qi!
“Two hours and eighteen minutes!”
Jiang Shengnan glanced at her watch and said in the same cold tone as always: "Good qualifications!"
A Titan warrior’s appetite can often indicate his/her qualifications for transformation into a Titan!
The more outstanding the Titan's transformation, the more exaggerated his appetite for absorbing the innate Qi!
Zhang Fan absorbed the innate Qi for more than two hours with super high efficiency!
The "appetite" is amazing!
This indirectly shows that his Titan transformation must be the best one!
"Thank you for the compliment, teacher!"
Zhang Fan smiled and nodded.
"End of eating Qi, start refining Qi!"
Jiang Shengnan said: "There are many methods of refining Qi, and they were all created by demigods!"
Zhang Fan nodded. The method of refining Qi is aimed at refining the saturated innate Qi in the body!
To this end, the high and mighty demigods developed a series of methods of refining Qi!
Different methods of refining Qi have completely different effects on different Titan transformations!
For example, for the transformation of a dragon-type Titan, there is a special "Eight Styles of the Heavenly Dragon", and for the transformation of a bear-type Titan, there is a special "Black Bear King Kong Fist".
"Senior Zhang Xuanling, based on his own Golden Vermillion Transformation, developed the Vermillion Demon Subduing Fist that is suitable for the Golden Vermillion Transformation!"
Jiang Shengnan said: "You have transformed into Golden Zhuyan. Zhuyan Subduing Demon Fist is the most suitable method for you to cultivate your Qi. I will teach you now!"
"Teacher Jiang, I know the Zhu Yan Demon Subduing Fist!" Zhang Fan said with a smile.
