In the current Chinese martial arts world, even warriors at the peak of Hua Jin rarely appear in front of the world. However, in Huashan, in front of an inconspicuous stall, a warrior at the peak of Hua Jin actually appeared.
Yang Qi was very curious about such a strange scene. A martial artist at the peak of Hua Jin could not be short of money, let alone setting up a stall here. But this happened right in front of Yang Qi.
A warrior at the peak of Huajin is only one step away from entering the fetal breathing realm. For today's martial arts world, the fetal breathing realm is a legendary realm. Some sects with deep cultural heritage are familiar with Huajin warriors, but the strong men in the fetal breathing realm are still just rumors. Those who know about the existence of the fetal breathing realm are at least Huajin warriors. Even the descendants of the family with a legacy like Luo Bing and Mu Yan do not know about the existence of the fetal breathing realm.
From this we can see how rare it is to find a strong person in the fetal breathing state.
When I talked with Patriarch Xueyun about the current martial arts world, I knew that the powerful people in the fetal breathing realm that he had seen could be counted on one hand.
However, the old man in front of him was already a powerful man at the peak of Hua Jin, and he was only one step away from entering the Tai Xi realm.
"I'm just an ordinary warrior." Yang Qi said lightly.
"Ordinary warrior?"
The old man smiled coldly when he heard this. The next moment, he moved his hand as fast as lightning and slapped Yang Qi's wrist.
Faced with the old man's sudden attack, Yang Qi seemed unaware of it, and the palm fell heavily on Yang Qi's hand.
"Pah~"
A crisp sound was heard, and the old man felt as if his palm had hit steel. A powerful recoil force came down, and the old man's entire right hand became numb.
"Fetal Breathing State!"
Almost instantly, the old man understood that Yang Qi in front of him was a powerful person in the fetal breathing realm.
"Junior Xu Tu from Huashan Sect greets you, senior." The old man said respectfully.
"Are you from Huashan Sect?"
Hearing the old man's words, Yang Qi was stunned. Huashan Sect actually had a strong man at the peak of Huajin. You know, Ouyang Yushan, the strongest man in Huashan Sect, was only at the peak of Anjin. He had never thought that Huashan Sect actually had a strong man at the peak of Huajin.
"I am indeed from the Huashan Sect, but I have not shown up for a long time. Only a few high-ranking members of the sect know of my existence." The old man said hurriedly.
Yang Qi nodded. In fact, in today's martial arts world, except for a few ancient sects and families with Huajin warriors in the open, other sects and families are almost all ruled by strong men at the level of Anjin. You know, in the Chinese martial arts world, the strong men in the dark are far more numerous and more terrifying than the strong men in the open.
"Since you are from Huashan Sect, why are you here?" Yang Qi frowned. With the old man's cultivation, he must be the predecessor of Huashan Sect's Ouyang Yushan. With his status, Huashan Sect must follow his lead. But he actually came to Huashan to set up a stall, which was a little unbelievable.
“To be honest, I have encountered a bottleneck in my practice. I have been traveling around China in recent years, hoping to break through the Hua Jin state and enter the fetal breathing state. Unfortunately…” the old man said with a wry smile.
The fetal breathing state cannot be reached through hard practice. Nowadays, the forces in the Chinese martial arts world that have reached the fetal breathing state are almost all forces that occupy blessed lands. Although the Huashan Sect is quite powerful, it still has not been able to occupy a blessed land.
Yang Qi nodded secretly. In today's Chinese martial arts world, it is very difficult to even enter the realm of Hua Jin, let alone the realm of Tai Xi. If there is no opportunity, it is impossible for the old man to enter the realm of Tai Xi.
“As far as I know, the Huashan Sect today doesn’t have…” Yang Qi glanced at the old man and said.
The old man nodded slightly and said helplessly, "In fact, apart from the founder of our Huashan Sect, no one else has entered the fetal breathing state. Even later on, there were very few warriors who entered the transformation state. However, our ancestors once left behind a pill that can help warriors at the peak of the dark energy to enter the transformation state. When China was in war, our Huashan Sect was not spared, but no one in the sect entered the transformation state. So this junior used the power of the pill to enter the transformation state."
I see!
When Yang Qi heard the old man's words, he immediately understood that big sects like Shaolin actually have some elixirs to help with cultivation, such as Xiaohuandan and Dahuandan. However, elixirs are extremely rare in the martial arts world today, and even Shaolin has only a few elixirs.
The Huashan Sect's elixirs were left behind by their ancestors, in order to ensure that the sect could use the elixirs in times of crisis to ensure the continuation of its inheritance.
Although China suffered heavy losses during the war, the warriors who survived the war had improved significantly. Although the overall strength of the Chinese martial arts world had decreased, the individual strength had improved. Xu Tu had good talent. If nothing unexpected happened, it would not be difficult for him to enter the Huajin stage. With the help of the power of the elixir, countless battles, and years of hard training, he finally reached the late Huajin stage.
However, there are too few records about the fetal breathing state in Huashan Sect. Only their founder has entered the fetal breathing state, and no one among the younger generation has reached this state. Xu Tu also knows nothing about the fetal breathing state. In desperation, he can only travel around China, hoping to find an opportunity to break through to the transformation state. Unfortunately, after so many years, although his cultivation has increased, he still has not been able to break through the bottleneck and enter the fetal breathing state.
"You have good talent, but unfortunately you have chosen the wrong path." Yang Qi shook his head slightly.
Being able to reach the peak of Hua Jin, in terms of talent alone, Xu Tu is definitely better than Mu Ying, and is even not inferior to the charming man who was killed by Yang Qi.
The enchanting man could have such strength and cultivation because he practiced the Blood Evil Magic Art and walked the path of insects and beasts. Although the Blood Evil Magic Art was called a magic art, the speed of cultivation was extremely fast, and Xu Tu was able to cultivate to the current level just by relying on the skills passed down by the Huashan Sect, which showed how talented he was.
However, Yang Qi could tell at a glance that Xu Tu had gone in the wrong direction. Although his internal energy was strong, his realm was only at the level of a nine-star martial artist and he could not reach the level of a martial artist at all.
If nothing unexpected happened, Xu Tu would never have been able to enter the fetal breathing state, because he had gone astray at the martial arts level. If the heaven and earth had rich vitality, or if there were a large number of elixirs to support him, he could have been forced to enter the fetal breathing state. But the martial arts world today simply did not have so many resources, and it was impossible for him to enter the fetal breathing state.
"Please give me some guidance, senior." Xu Tu said hurriedly. Yang Qi was in the fetal breathing stage, and he must have some experience in breaking through the fetal breathing stage. If Yang Qi was willing to give him some guidance, his chances of breaking through the fetal breathing stage would undoubtedly increase greatly.
Hearing Xu Tu's words, Yang Qi could not help but fall silent. Although he had some experience in breaking through the martial arts master, he was somewhat unable to instruct Xu Tu. After all, he practiced according to the experience left by Emperor Haoyang. The practice of Haotian Jue and Xu Tu's Huashan Gongfa were completely different. (To be continued)
