In the guest room, Zhang Zhiwei sat cross-legged on the bed, calmed himself down, and began to experiment with using the Qi of fire and gold to activate the reverse life state.
First, regulate the innate fire Qi from the heart, and then regulate the innate gold Qi from the lungs, and gather the Qi into one.
Among the five elements, fire and metal represent killing and destruction, which is why the Yang Five Thunders are so powerful and fierce.
Using such a strong Qi to replace the innate Qi is undoubtedly like adding oil to a fire, which is extremely risky.
Even someone as talented as Zhang Zhiwei only dared to try it cautiously.
As soon as the thought came to mind, the ball of fire and gold Qi immediately moved, moving in the meridians with the three-level reverse Qi trajectory, first starting from three inches below the navel, passing through the internal organs inch by inch, all the way up, like a dragon swimming in the river, and then turning into a dragon and flying up.
Unlike the mild innate Qi, the innate fire and gold Qi will have a burning sensation when flowing through the meridians, as if a ball of fire is burning one's meridians.
"It's probably because I've never circulated Fire and Gold Qi like this before, so I'm a little uncomfortable. To be on the safe side, I'll wrap my meridians with the Golden Light Mantra to avoid crippling myself!"
The reason why Zhang Zhiwei dared to make such a bold attempt was definitely not because he was stubborn or reckless.
First, he is confident in his control over Qi.
Furthermore, his Golden Light Spell has reached perfection, being airtight and able to wrap around his internal organs and meridians. Even if the fire and gold energy gets out of control and runs rampant in his meridians, he can still protect himself.
After the golden light shielded his body, the feeling of discomfort disappeared. Zhang Zhiwei continued to control the innate fire and gold Qi, following the three-level reverse Qi trajectory, and went to his upper Dantian.
The upper dantian is where "sex" is located. The higher you go and the closer you get to it, the more difficult it is to control the fire and gold qi.
Zhang Zhiwei did not dare to be distracted in the slightest. He used his consciousness to guide the restless Qi, trying to gather it back into the upper Dantian and start the reverse life state.
Soon, the innate fire and gold qi arrived at the center of the eyebrows. Zhang Zhiwei gathered his consciousness and concentrated it at the center of the eyebrows, ready to take the final step.
As long as the innate fire and gold qi rushes into the upper dantian, this reverse life state will be activated.
Next, the innate fire and gold Qi will emanate from the upper Dantian, causing the Qi throughout the body, and even part of the physical body, to begin to transform into Qi, thereby gaining powerful strength.
But at the moment when he was about to enter the center of the eyebrows, Zhang Zhiwei stopped and did not knock on the door.
He felt a strong discomfort, as if waves were surging in the sea of consciousness between his eyebrows. His heart was inexplicably restless, and a chill spread throughout his body.
Inexplicably, he had a strange feeling. His body, which had been tempered to the extreme, was like a prison, binding him. He wanted to tear off this empty bondage, rush into the world, rush into the universe, and rush into the void.
"What's going on? This feeling... is there something wrong with my Qi, or is it..."
Zhang Zhiwei dispersed the innate fire and gold energy from his brows, paused his attempts, and looked doubtful and uncertain:
"Or is this reversed state... something wrong in itself? I actually feel like I'm about to be dissolved!"
"Although it's just a fleeting, insignificant illusion, don't try it yet. Just relying on observation and the feeling of Qi can lead to mistakes. The upper Dantian is the most fragile of the three Dantians in the human body, so don't be reckless!"
"Let's wait until tomorrow when I practice with Lu Jin, and then use my Qi to probe into this kid's upper Dantian and feel the trajectory of the Qi in the reverse life state firsthand!"
"Old Lu, I was originally thinking about giving you a decent defeat given our relationship, but now it's your turn!"
Immediately, Zhang Zhiwei withdrew the restless innate fire and gold Qi in his body, chanted the Golden Light Mantra, and tempered his own life.
The Golden Light Mantra is an internal alchemy exercise that benefits both the body and the soul. While practicing Qi, it is also a process of meditation and self-cultivation.
The next morning, the sun broke through the clouds and shone on the earth.
Zhang Zhiwei exhaled, ended his practice, and walked out of the guest room. There was a servant waiting outside who immediately directed him to the dining hall for breakfast.
"Where is my master?" Zhang Zhiwei asked.
"The Heavenly Master was accompanied by a great man all the way, I didn't know!"
"Oh, thank you!"
"Thank you for being so polite, Senior Master. I'll take you to the cafeteria for breakfast!"
When they arrived at the dining hall, they found that the Lu family had prepared a very sumptuous breakfast. Zhang Zhiwei took some of his favorite food and enjoyed it.
While eating, I heard some strange crackling sounds outside.
"What is this?" Zhang Zhiwei asked.
The Lu family servant replied, "These are the young talents practicing their skills!"
Practicing skills...is it starting so soon? Zhang Zhiwei swallowed a bun and said, "Is there such an event? Why didn't anyone notify me?"
"It was the master's order. He said that Gao Gong drank too much last night and needs to rest more. He asked people not to disturb him!"
“That’s thoughtful!”
It wasn't that he drank too much, but he was absorbed in spiritual practice. Zhang Zhiwei finished his meal in a few bites and went to the martial arts training ground outside.
The martial arts training ground was set up in the backyard of the Lu family, which was backed by mountains and had a fairly large area. Because it was just a spur-of-the-moment idea, no formal martial arts stage was set up. They simply marked out an area and put some chairs there for the older generation to sit and watch.
At this moment, the martial arts performance had already started for quite a while.
The rule of the martial arts performance is to go up and show your skills. If there are young talents below who are excited and want to go up and teach, they can fight in front of many seniors as witnesses.
As the saying goes, the world of martial arts is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and worldly wisdom. Most of the sects that come here to attend the birthday banquet have no grudges against each other.
There is no grudge between them, but to challenge someone in front of so many people would be a loss of face if you lose, and would hurt the harmony if you win.
Besides, this martial arts performance is just a simple competition and there are no rewards.
Therefore, martial arts performances up to now have basically been performed by one person, and few people want to go up and compete with others.
Zhang Zhiwei entered the arena and secretly sent a message to his master to say hello. The master did not respond, but just glanced at him with empty eyes.
Zhang Zhiwei chuckled and found a corner to watch the young masters demonstrate their skills.
The people practicing now are from Tiangang, Liaodong, Northeast China. They use Tiangang Qi, a body protection technique known for its strength and ferocity.
After the man circulated his Qi throughout his body, he suddenly slammed his head into a big tree, creating a hole in the tree.
Then, he took a few steps back and unleashed a few more powerful blows, leaving several holes in the tree.
"Okay, okay!"
“Awesome, awesome!”
The younger generation applauded it, after all, this method was quite good.
"Next up, the great shaman of Liangshan, Feng Tianyang!"
A white-haired and crew-cut boy walked onto the martial arts arena.
Zhang Zhiwei glanced at him in surprise, thinking, "Wow, I've run into another one of the Thirty-Six Thieves! And this guy even came to this birthday party? What abilities does this guy, who will one day master the Eight Great Skills of Confining Spirits and Rescuing Generals, have now?"
