Anyway, he got the benefits, not the harm.
As for the price secretly marked on the gift of fate... we'll talk about it later.
Xue Jing and Ning Yuantai chatted for a long time.
Ning Yuantai has a powerful background and was born into one of thirteen wealthy families. Although he is not a direct descendant, he knows a lot of things that ordinary people don't know.
Xue Jing learned a lot of inside gossip about the Sixth Agency from him, including which thirteen wealthy families they were, etc., and gained a lot of knowledge.
More than an hour later, Ning Yuantai tactfully said goodbye and left, saying that he would come back to collect [GOD-1062] in three days.
After he left, Xue Jing glanced at the panel.
[Divine power absorption completed]
[Possessing Divinity: 1663]
Xue Jing put down his ice skates and nodded with satisfaction.
"Just over 500 points, not bad."
He looked at the panel and his gaze moved to [Dragon Horn] in the divine skill column.
[Dragon Horn Lv4 (Divinity required for upgrade: 1663/800)]
After thinking about it, he clicked on upgrade.
[Dragon Horn Lv5 (Divinity required for upgrade: 863/1200)]
As he acquired the extraordinary skill [Zhenwu], the structure of his body underwent fundamental changes, and the intensity of training he could withstand was incomparable to before.
The maximum gravity that Lv4 dragon horns can add is fifteen times, and his Zhenwu body is fully able to withstand it, and even has some strength left over, without the feeling of being exhausted and almost dying after extreme training.
Any amount of divinity that can be used to accelerate growth is worth it.
Xue Jing stood up, and lightning dragon horns appeared above his head with crackling sounds, and silver-white dragon lightning wrapped around his body like a feather belt.
Compared to Lv4, the current Dragon Thunder Feather Belt is thicker and brighter.
As soon as the mind moves, gravity comes upon you.
“Pip, pip—”
The silver-white thunder feathers became thicker and brighter.
Fifteen times, sixteen times, seventeen times...
When it reached twenty times, Xue Jing felt that this was the limit of [Dragon Horn Lv5].
The maximum gravity multiple that he can currently withstand is about seventeen times.
"Lv5 is enough for now." Xue Jing clenched his palms and dispersed the dragon horns on his head.
At this time, the door of the room opened, and the cat walked out with sleepy eyes and elegant cat steps.
She opened her mouth and yawned, revealing a few small fangs, and jumped onto the dining table.
Then he raised his eyebrows, "Huh? Where's my lunch?"
She looked at the empty dining table and a question mark appeared above her head.
Xue Jing touched his chin: "Well... are you interested in instant noodles?"
…
I cooked a pot of instant noodles for Maomao using Lv7 cooking skills. Although she was very dissatisfied at first and threatened to teach that man with the same surname Ning who ate up her lunch a lesson in the future.
But after taking the first bite of noodles, the smooth, chewy and perfect seven-star instant noodles conquered her taste buds. She only said, "How come you can make instant noodles so delicious!" and started to show off.
Xue Jing took the book "Huang Po Kung Fu" and went out, hailed a taxi, and went to Canglong Taoist Temple.
After arriving, he took the elevator, walked straight to the Yangxin Room, and pushed the door open.
Li Qi was half lying in a wheelchair with his eyes closed. When he saw Xue Jing coming in, he said:
"What's wrong, Xiaojing?"
"Master." Xue Jing greeted him respectfully first, then walked forward and handed the old thread-bound book in his hand to Li Qi.
"What is this?" Li Qi took it with a puzzled look and turned it over.
After seeing the three words "Huang Po Gong", his pupils suddenly shrank.
"Huang Po Kung Fu!? Where did it come from!"
"A few days ago at the birthday party of the clan leader, I helped an official organization do something..." Xue Jing recounted the process of capturing the skinner and the cause and effect.
"This copy of Huang Po Kung Fu was given to me by a big shot from the government."
After listening to this, Li Qi silently stroked the old thread-bound book in his hand. His old and turbid pupils lost focus, as if he was lost in memories.
After a long time, he gradually came back to his senses, sighed softly, and had a complicated expression, and no one knew what it meant.
"… I didn't expect that besides saving Chan'er, you would have such an experience."
A thoughtful look appeared on Li Qi's old face.
"The Huang Po Kung Fu is not something that can be obtained casually. It is a secret of the Zi Yang lineage of Taoism. Which big shot can give this kind of Kung Fu to others casually..."
"Forget it. If you don't understand, don't think about it."
Li Qi turned the page and began to read silently.
He read very quickly, turning a page in a few seconds, and finished reading in more than ten minutes.
Xue Jing saw this and asked, "Master, how is it?"
"Is it true?"
After a brief thought, Li Qi nodded.
"It should be true. At least I can't find any flaws."
"All the details match my impression of Huang Po Kungfu one by one, without any difference."
Xue Jing's eyes lit up: "So, we can practice it?"
Li Qi smiled and said, "Of course you can."
"This is a unique internal organ nourishing skill in the world. At least in my opinion, there should be no better internal organ nourishing skill than Huang Po Gong."
He paused, then continued, "But the only problem is that Taoist techniques are very different from ordinary martial arts. They basically require extremely high Taoist cultivation, and the same is true for Huang Po Kung Fu."
"That is to say, you have to read the Taoist scriptures... countless Taoist scriptures."
"Otherwise, many abstruse things that cannot be expressed in clear and simple words cannot be understood. One needs to reach a certain level of Taoism before one can understand them naturally."
"Just like Laozi, who didn't know how to describe the Tao, but just called it the Tao, language and words are sometimes powerless."
Xue Jing nodded: "It is normal for advanced skills to have various requirements. Since there are needs, I will satisfy them."
Li Qi smiled with relief: "Very good."
"It's just that Taoism has a kind of innate tranquility and inaction when you study it, which is very tiring. It's actually quite disadvantageous for martial artists who need to be aggressive and enterprising. You have to be careful not to be influenced by it."
"... Well, you don't have to worry too much. You have cultivated the Hidden Dragon Style to such an extent that you have accumulated a great dragon energy, but your temperament is still not the slightest bit of the wildness and arrogance of a dragon. Your roots are so stable that I have never seen them in my life. I think you will not be easily influenced."
Xue Jing said modestly: "Master, you are too kind... This technique should be useful to you, right?"
Li Qi nodded: "Yes, Huang Po Gong is very effective in cultivating one's body and mind. Perhaps I really have a chance to repair my broken foundation and spirit."
"Xiao Jing, you are really my lucky star."
He sighed.
Xue Jing smiled and said, "That would be the best."
…
In the practice room, Xue Jing sat cross-legged, flipping through the "Huang Po Kung" in his hand.
Li Qi had just copied a copy and left it in the Yangxin Room, and the one in his hand was the original.
"To practice Taoist Kung Fu, one needs to cultivate the knowledge of Taoism in order to understand some of the profound information that cannot be expressed in words."
Xue Jing looked thoughtful.
“… But this is only a requirement for ordinary people.”
He opened the panel and took a look at [Zhenwu] in the extraordinary skill column.
"If you are extraordinary, how can you be the same as ordinary people?"
"Aban, let me see your limits!"
Xue Jing fixed his eyes on Huang Po Gong, turned to the first page and began to read it carefully.
Huang Po Huang Po, it refers to the 'spleen'.
In the theories of ancient medicine and Taoism, the spleen has the function of coordinating the balance of internal organs in the body. It can attract the metal man (lungs) and the wood mother (liver), act as a matchmaker for them, and nurture the red son (kidneys) and the beautiful girl (heart).
Huang Po Gong is based on this theory, taking the spleen as the starting point. It regulates all the internal organs and ultimately benefits the entire body from the inside out.
"Mrs. Huang played matchmaker, and the boy and girl were reunited."
Xue Jing read more and more seriously, turning the pages non-stop, absorbing the theoretical knowledge of Huang Po Gong.
… I didn’t feel any difficulty in understanding it at all.
Wherever he looked, he absorbed all the information there. The deep meaning contained in it, the knowledge that could be embodied in reality and could be actually applied, was not obscure at all and he accepted and understood it in its entirety.
In fact, it was not as if he was trying to understand the knowledge, but rather the knowledge actively penetrated into the depths of his consciousness.
Unconsciously, Xue Jing's understanding of Huang Po Gong became deeper and deeper, and the power inside his body began to circulate unconsciously.
It was so mysterious and indescribable, the circulation of his strength caused miraculous changes in his body.
His spleen began to beat slowly and strongly, as if it had come alive.
As the spleen beats, gradually, the rest of the internal organs begin to move in accordance with the rhythm of the spleen.
Xue Jing's eyes became brighter and brighter.
In his ears, he could faintly hear the roars of dragons and tigers.
"The dragon roars, the tiger howls, the yellow woman calls when the wind and clouds meet. The beautiful girl in the fire is charming, looking back at the baby under the water. The baby and the beautiful girl meet the yellow woman, and the two are in harmony when they meet."
Xue Jing looked at the few verses written in the book, gradually came to his senses, and closed the book.
At this moment, his internal organs were moving slowly like a fetus, just like living things. From an introverted perspective, Xue Jing could almost feel their consciousness.
"The ultimate goal of Huang Po Gong is to make the five internal organs become 'gods', to bring them to life, and to transform them into the gods of the five internal organs."
"For this purpose, it is necessary to build a 'Temple of the Five Organs' to worship them for their practice."
"Before they transformed into the five internal organs gods and became the real 'Huang Po, Jin Gong, Mu Mu, Chi Zi, and Cai Nu', they were still just fetuses."
"Therefore, Huang Po Gong has another name, which is called - Nourishing the Holy Fetus!"
Xue Jing's eyes were bright as he experienced the changes after practicing Huang Po Gong.
"The five internal organs correspond to the five elements of skin, flesh, tendons, bones and blood, and the five senses of form, sound, hearing, taste and touch. If the five internal organs are strong, it will benefit the whole body and make everything in it strong as well!"
"From the inside out, although this skill is an internal martial art, the enhancement of one's combat power is no less than that of external martial arts!"
He opened the panel and looked at [Zhenwu], feeling emotional.
"As expected of Zhenwu, extraordinary skills are extraordinary and do not require any Taoist training. Huangpo Kung Fu is martial arts after all. As long as it falls within the scope of 'martial arts', it will inevitably be included in Zhenwu. There is no obstacle to understanding it."
"What do you mean by cheating? This is cheating!"
…
Chapter 193: Top-level touch, humanoid radar, and actual combat with the eldest brother (4K)
“Boom—”
Inside Xue Jing's body, with the spleen taking the lead, all of his internal organs began to make sounds like fetal movements.
Huang Po belongs to the earth element in the five elements. In Journey to the West, she is another name for Sha Seng.
Every time Sun Wukong (Jin Gong) and Zhu Bajie (Wood Mu) quarreled, it was Sha Seng, the Huang Po, who tried to mediate. This is consistent with the Taoist theory that the spleen regulates the other internal organs.
The liver and the lungs, that is, Mr. Jin and Ms. Wood, a couple who always have many conflicts, have their relationship coordinated by Mrs. Huang, and the family becomes harmonious. Only then can the hearts and kidneys of Cai Nu and Chi Zi be connected, and water and fire be in harmony, and the human body can be healthy and complete.
Since Xue Jing started practicing martial arts, he has never felt that there is anything wrong with his body and feels that he is very healthy.
