Chapter 2 Life in the Library
At the junction of the Original Immortal Immortal Continent and the Original Magic Continent, like in the central area of the Yuan Continent today, there is a free city like a pearl, and the Shenfeng Academy, which has stood for thousands of years, is in it.
It is the cradle of the strong men of all generations over the past thousand years, and every era has emerged from the peerless strong men who have become famous in the continent.
It can be said that the world is so beautiful.
Therefore, to this day, many young heroes on the mainland come here to study. The students in the academy are either strong people with extraordinary qualifications or nobles with extraordinary identities.
In the bustling academy, it was another peaceful afternoon. Three days have passed since Qiao Ping and the old man Dongfang. Many students who were dining in the cafeteria in the academy gathered.
A few familiar young people sit by the window and eat together. They have to hold a cup for a while. After drinking and having enough food, they are even more likely to talk to enhance friendship.
"Have you heard of it? Teacher Dongfang's granddaughter, the stunning beauty Dongfang Phoenix, is a magical genius. At a young age, he has officially entered the first level of success!" A young brown-haired young man sighed.
"It's amazing. I've come to this point at the age of fifteen. I'm afraid I'll be a magician in the magic world again in the future!"
"Who said no, but, hehe, when it comes to magic, do you know? Our highly respected Director Qiao in the magic system has a stupid grandson, who actually brags everywhere, yelling that he wants to create the magic and martial arts skills!"
"Is this happening?"
"It's true!" A young and black-haired man smiled and said, "I watched him use his director's authority many times to enter and exit the third floor of the library. It is said that he wants to discover the commonalities of practice from hundreds of martial arts and magic!"
"It's so easy. Even the Eastern Warriors wouldn't have fallen like this!"
The brown-haired young man spoke disdainfully.
"Who said no, haha, but I was happy to think about the evil old man Qiao having such a fool's descendant!"
"Shhh...you're dead?! Let Director Qiao hear it, be sure to wear small shoes for you!"
"Oh, but no wonder, this old man sets the project so hard every time, and he is now retribution..."
"Of course, that's fine. The most disgusting thing is that Director Qiao actually wants to help his silly boy and Miss Dongfang! He said he was a kid!"
"How dare you thief?!" Hearing the news that the goddess was being peeped at, the people at the table next to him couldn't help it.
......
There are many similar conversations at Kamikaze Academy after dinner. Overnight, Qiao An has become a laughing stock and target of attack for many people.
But he himself didn't care about these gossips. As those people said, he did travel between the library and home every day at this time.
He is also indeed trying to discover the connection between martial arts and magic.
Unlike the libraries that were able to enter and exit at will in universities in previous lives, the collection of books in this world is a top priority for power.
Take the library of the Ksitigarbha Academy for example. Not to mention the escorts on the surface, there are at least five fifth-level masters guarding here every day.
Generally, students need to pay credits or pay a certain amount of money if they want to enter, and there are time limits. This is just the first floor of the library.
Only teachers are eligible to enter the second floor of the library, and there are also certain conditions and costs.
The third floor, that is, the last floor, is rarely open to the outside world. There are not as many things inside as the first and second floors, but the books are priceless and lonely books, which can be said to be the thousand-year-old heritage of the Shenfeng Academy.
It is a treasure land that is better than a country’s collection of books!
Fortunately, as one of the implementers of the God-making Plan, Qiao Ping is one of the few people who can freely enter and exit the third level, so it is cheaper for Qiao An.
Although the third floor is not as 100,000 volumes as the first and second floors, the collection is not small. It is as large as 10,000 volumes, and they are all the essences of various fields.
Among these ten thousand books, many were written very early, mostly in ancient texts. Some of the oldest books can even be traced back to ten thousand years ago, and the information contained in them is extremely huge.
But the premise of obtaining this information is to master the obscure and profound ancient Chinese. Unfortunately, there are almost no such people in the Ksitigarbha Academy.
The reason why it is said "almost" is because it was not before Joan, but it was found after he discovered a series of books about ancient oriental languages from the second floor.
After Qiao An spent a few days on the skill panel, he reached the point of "Oriental Ancient Language Learning" to perfection, the third-level library was called the ocean of knowledge he wanted to travel around.
Here he discovered many works by his predecessors, many of which brought a lot of inspiration to his research on magic and martial arts.
For example, the book "On the Origin of the Practice System" that is now in his hand was written three thousand years ago.
The author has traveled to the East and West continents, conducted in-depth investigations, records, and summarized them in depth, and finally got this book. It discusses in detail why the East and West practice system originated and developed.
The beginning of the book points out that all practice systems actually have one thing in common, that is, their roots lie in the human body. The purpose of all systems to cultivate is to develop the treasures of the human body, and the result is the evolution and sublimation of life.
And why do different flowers bloom fundamentally? It is due to the differences in the environment between the East and the West!
The human race is born weak, unlike the ancient divine beasts such as real dragons, phoenixes, and unicorns, who are born with great supernatural powers. Therefore, in order to better survive in the wilderness era, people began to imitate various powerful creatures in nature and began to exercise.
On the eastern land, people mostly see mountain spirits and wild monsters rely on their instinct to swallow the essence of the sun and the moon, absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to train their bodies. Therefore, the earliest and most primitive warriors and Taoists were derived from the imitation.
Later generations continued to move forward on the basis of their predecessors with their intelligence and talents, thus developing martial arts and practitioners.
The author who wrote this book has provided evidence that he has discovered the methods of imitating weird "Xingyi" in some closed and backward mountain villages many times.
These practice methods are relatively simple and primitive. They are all made out of nothing by the clever people in the village. They explore it bit by bit. Most of them imitate the behavior of mountain beasts, and through visualization, breathing, internal lungs and internal skin and flesh.
Therefore, warriors focus on the "element" in the spirit and spirit in the early stage, but they do not practice "spirit" and "qi", but they are involved in the early stages. Therefore, it seems that warriors lack attack methods in the early stages, and they are often not as good as those in the early stages of cultivators who value "qi". They seem to have a skillful method of immortal style and Taoist bones.
But in fact, all major systems are at the back, such as at the sixth level, they need to achieve the perfect unity of "essence", "qi" and "spirit" in order to enter the seventh level and realize the transformation of life.
According to the current practice world, it is to break the void and become a god!
The same is true for Western magicians and fighting qi warriors. In order to become stronger, they observe the sky and earth, learn from nature, and learn all kinds of monsters, so they have a system of magicians and fighting qi.
As for why the power of practice in the end is so different since all major systems come from the human body, the author makes an assumption here:
That is, the proportion of the essence, energy, spirit and spirit contained in true qi, fighting energy, magic power, and true essence is different!
After practitioners enter various systems, there is always a focus on a certain item. Even if they become gods, their spirit will be perfect, and there will be a certain point that will be more prominent under long-term training.
The extra huge "spirit", "qi" or "sophistication" in the body will cause different power ratios and different natures of the power born!
Therefore, even if you become a god, practitioners in different systems will still be different to a certain extent.
Of course, this possibility has not been proved exactly, because the author cannot put "true qi", "magic" or "fighting qi" in a container for experiments and analysis.
"But...I might be able..."
Qiao An put away this book "On the Origin of the Practice System", touched his chin, and then turned to another book at hand: "The Unknown World Under Hawkeye".
This book comes from a magical madman six thousand years ago. He has a special liking for the basic magic "hawkeye" in magic. In the process of constantly improving the power of this magic, he accidentally came into contact with an incredible microscopic world!
After that, he was out of control. In addition to studying Hawkeye's technique, he also used alchemy to create strange magic props to study some things he saw that were invisible to the naked eye.
When Joan saw a magic prop similar to a microscope in the book, he couldn't help but be amazed at the genius.
Unfortunately, this person lived in a corner when he was alive, had a strange temper, did not like to communicate with others, and did not leave any descendants. These studies were discovered after his death.
Moreover, no one was interested in the "micro-world" he saw, but more of it was to learn the super powerful "hawkeye" that was strengthened by this magical madman to be perverted.
Qiao An is different. He has a completely different concept from the natives in this world. After coming into contact with these things, a bold idea emerged in his mind: to create a micro laboratory and explore the essence of this world!
Of course, if you want to "see" true qi and the essence of magic, the so-called "Sky Eye Apparatus" or microscope in this book is far from enough.
Joan needs to continue upgrading them, at least to the level of a "tunnel scanning microscope".
If he wants to do this, he has to learn the most profound magic spells and Taoist talismans among the Western "alchemy" and the Eastern "artifact refining techniques".
It's really distressing. With such advanced skills, the energy quality required is very high, and he will definitely not meet the standards now.
Qiao An frowned, feeling deeply that the strength in his body was not enough!
Well, first enter the level of cultivation, and then learn some magic and martial arts skills recorded in ancient books. These things have been buried by history, and no one can see that they are enough to deal with grandpa’s one-month agreement.
There is no place for practice on the third floor of the library. After Joan wrote down what he needed, he left with satisfaction.
Returning to the residence of the teacher at Shenfeng Academy and walking into the depths of a quiet bamboo forest, he began to practice hard.
Qiao An chose several quite distinctive primitive methods of practice for himself.
It is all related to the tempering of the body. Because when a warrior practices, he focuses on his body and polishes his body to continue his internal strength. When the strength in his body is accumulated enough, he can induce the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body.
At that time, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is combined with the internal force, and a wisp of true qi seed is born into the dantian, which is the entry level.
Most of the basic martial arts techniques today attach great importance to the efficiency of internal force transformation, pay attention to refining essence into qi, and quickly enter the level and become a strong person. Few people are willing to spend a lot of effort on the pure power of physical blood and qi.
After studying many works by his predecessors, Qiao An believed that this process was extremely important, so the method of selecting foundation casting is related to blood and energy.
For example, this Tiger Soul Fist was created by ancient ancestors when observing the divine tiger.
When practicing boxing, you must first practice stances.
The tiger soul stake is divided into two types: static stake and dynamic stake. It combines movement and stillness. When it is still, it must have the momentum of a tiger, and when it is moving, it must be as clever as a cat.
Qiao An stood in the posture he remembered, and then called up the system panel:
"Host: Joan"
"Skills: Complete learning of ancient oriental language, get started with climbing the cloud ladder -10%, and have not started with the tiger soul fist."
"Kung Fu: Beginner of Primary Meditation -10%, Beginner of Guide Technique -10%.
"Scan the object: None."
He thought and clicked the "" symbol after the option of Hupo Fist, and his mental power was consumed in a lot of time.
The words that are not started in the option have become the entry-0%.
Then the mystery of a large number of Tiger Soul Fist emerged in his mind, making his understanding of this boxing reach the entry-level standard.
"Hu...hu...hu...hu...hu...hu...hu...hu...hu...hu...."
Qiao An's mouth and nose made a breathing sound like a god tiger in his mouth and nose, and then moved down the mountain like a tiger, making various attacks.
It seemed as if there was a ferocious tiger leaping in the bamboo forest.
After the exercise of the method of movement and stillness was completed, Qiao An's body was full of blood and energy, and his originally symmetrical upper body had muscles slightly bulging.
I felt that my strength increased greatly, and there was a bit of fierce aura like a tiger between my eyebrows.
A lot of sweat rolled down from the pores around him like rain, mixed with some impurities.
“Gululu…”
There was a thunderous noise in Qiao An's stomach. With such high-intensity training, I was hungry.
The body polishing is inseparable from food intake, and he can already meet himself as a foodie...
Chapter completed!
