Chapter 3: Inner Strength!

  Zhang Rang'er only stayed at home for five or six days, and under the reluctant gaze of Zhang Da Zhuang and Li Shi, as well as Zhang Yang, she sat in a horse-drawn carriage and left Qing Shi Town.

  Into the night.

  Zhang Yang sat on his large bed in his own room and took out the secret book called "Xuanyuan Gong".

  As for the virtual shadow of the dialogue box in front of him, it also disappeared without a trace after he clicked "yes" with his hand, as if it had never appeared.

  It was just a yes or no option, but it evoked memories deep in his soul. More than three years ago, he had clicked "yes" on that web game and inexplicably crossed over!

  For five or six days he had been thinking about it, or rather dreaming about its origin and purpose.

  Even in dreams, I dream of myself riding a sword and flying above the nine heavens, doing the task of beheading demons and monsters, with a proud gaze overlooking the world.

  He still remembered that the culprit who led him to cross over was a fantasy adventure game!

  But after 'receiving the task', there was no more movement. Adding to his sister's departure, it wasn't until then that his mood calmed down.

  But as he picked up this martial arts manual, Zhang Yang's thoughts became active again.

  Since crossing over into this ancient-like town, Zhang Yang had often fantasized about his future life.

  He had originally wanted to live a life like some of the traversers, vigorously and fiercely, preparing to endure hardships from a young age, so that he could become a general who kills enemies on the battlefield and achieves great things, or rely on his previous life's poems to study hard and top the imperial examination!

  Or rely on the knowledge of past lives to become a wealthy merchant who can rival a country!

  In this ancient-like world, there are business opportunities everywhere. For example, making a bra to replace a belly band or creating a toothbrush can be a great way to make money.

  With Zhang Yang's own brains and insights added to it, he had the confidence to become a successful merchant.

  However, whether it was a wealthy merchant who could rival a country, or a general who had made great achievements, or a talented scholar who had topped the imperial examination, none of them were as attractive to the Jianghu as Zhang Yang.

  With sword in hand, proud clothes and angry horse!

  The heroic spirit of sacrificing one's life for companionship, the unyielding grasp of hands in life and death, the warm wine on a snowy night waiting for guests, the sound of the zither during the season of falling flowers...

  Not a single thing failed to make Zhang Yang yearn for it, let alone this was a world of immortal heroes where immortals might actually exist!

  Zhang Yang indulged in fantasy for more than half a time, before calmly opening the secret book of Xuan Yuan Gong.

  There is no opening remark; on the first page, there is an image with dense annotations below it.

  It took Zhang Yang a long time to roughly flip through this book of Xuan Yuan Gong.

  This is a very systematic internal skill and mental method, with both pictures and annotations. As long as you can read, you can practice the skills in the book.

  Zhang Yang had long learned these traditional characters from his old man and could start practicing immediately.

  After carefully re-reading the previous pages, Zhang Yang put down the book and sat cross-legged, entering a meditative state according to his cultivation method.

  After an unknown period of time, Zhang Yangsheng had a mysterious feeling, as if the whole person was wrapped in a slow-moving air flow.

  Zhang Yang's mind moved slightly, according to the records of Xuan Yuan Gong, he guided the airflow around him into his body. After a great deal of effort, he finally captured a thread of airflow, but as soon as it entered his body, it immediately dispersed without a trace.

  He opened his eyes and stood up on the bed, exercising his slightly sore legs and feet, with a look of astonishment on his small face.

  According to the annotation of Xuan Yuan Gong, if a person wants to feel the flow of Qi or the original Qi between heaven and earth, it generally takes several days of work. Those with good innate talent and enlightenment may only need one or two days, while those with poor innate talent and enlightenment may even need several months!

  He had sensed the primordial energy between heaven and earth for the first time.

  Am I an extraordinary genius?

  Zhang Yang furrowed his brow in thought, habitually raising his hand to rub his temples, but this action made him feel a little dazed.

  It should be that I have been a human being for two lifetimes, and my soul power or spiritual strength is stronger than ordinary people!

  This is also an advantage!

  The self-proclaimed genius Zhang Yangping calmed down and sat cross-legged on the bed, starting to meditate.

  With the experience of last time, he quickly felt being wrapped in a slow-moving air flow, and then according to the records of Xuan Yuan Gong, he took in the air flow into his body, and then guided it into Dan Tian along the meridians.

  From the beginning, the airflow entered the body and dissipated on its own, gradually condensing into a line, flowing along the meridians to gather in the Dan Tian, swirling inside the Dan Tian.

  Zhang Yang opened his eyes again, and a look of surprise appeared on his small face!

  According to the records of Xuan Yuan Gong, after these air flows are introduced into the Dan Tian, they will be dispersed by the turbid Qi inside the Dan Tian. Only when the turbid Qi inside the Dan Tian is slowly eliminated can it rotate in the Dan Tian.

  This is the formation of internal energy and also marks the completion of the first step in the internal work of the heart method.

  Could it be that I am truly an extraordinary genius?

  Zhang Yang furrowed his small brow, and as he turned over his thoughts, he gradually thought of the reason.

  He's not stupid, on the contrary, he's very clever and thought for a moment before figuring out the reason.

  Before crossing over, in the era when online literature was popular, he had also read a lot. Those protagonists were reborn and started cultivating from infancy, with the legendary "Pre-Heavenly Qi" in their bodies. Once cultivated, they became Pre-Heavenly experts. Generally, after cultivating for a few years, they could punch the South Mountain Nursing Home and kick the North Sea Kindergarten.

  Nowadays, although one's situation is not so exaggerated, with that innate spirit, after all, only three years old, the dantian has no turbid energy.

  For others, they would have to be four or five years old to learn how to read and write, and by the time they finish learning at seven or eight years old, those who can start cultivating are considered geniuses.

  By then, there is already turbid Qi in your Dan Tian, and you need to disperse it bit by bit.

  No wonder the Xuan Yuan Gong says that the earlier you cultivate, the better. Once you reach adulthood, the meridians in your body become blocked, and when you want to absorb the heavenly yuanqi into your dantian, it will be obstructed by the blocked meridians. Unless a master uses their internal energy to clear the blockage for you, or you consume some kind of rare treasure, otherwise you will spend your entire life without any connection to internal energy.

  It's better to start early, it's not just about meridian blockage, but also the turbid Qi inside the Dantian. The older you get, the more turbid Qi will accumulate in the Dantian.

  Some people are born with blocked meridians, and the primordial energy of heaven and earth cannot enter the elixir field through the meridians, so they can't cultivate internal energy, and that's what is called a waste material.

  Zhang Yang smiled with a few parts of pride and joy, at the age of three, he could recognize characters and understand cultivation, it seemed that he was also a unique one!

  Zhang Dazhuang was able to throw this martial arts secret book at Zhang Yang, also because Zhang Yang was a three-year-old kid who didn't understand anything and wasn't afraid of practicing it wrong, thus going crazy.

  After being delighted for a while, Zhang Yang picked up the Xuan Yuan Technique and began to flip through the back cultivation methods.

  After a while, Zhang Yang put the Xuan Yuan Gong aside and continued to cultivate. After entering meditation, he guided the external heavenly yuan qi into his body, while also guiding the internal force in his dantian along the route recorded in the Xuan Yuan Gong, allowing it to flow through his meridians and absorb the heavenly yuan qi that had entered his body.

  In this way, Zhang Yang followed the Xuan Yuan Gong method and ran his internal energy through a small microcosm in his body. The internal energy in his dantian also grew stronger by a thread.

  Opening his eyes, the sky outside had already begun to brighten up, and Zhang Yang couldn't help but let out a sigh.

  It seems that cultivating internal strength is indeed a painstaking process!

  After cultivating for a whole night, it turned out that I had only increased my internal energy by a thread.

  A sigh was followed by excitement and yearning for the future.
