Chapter 177 Ji Lingxuan's Attention
"Can you find the shortcomings in my martial arts?"
Ji Lingxuan looked at Chen Lie, not understanding why he had such a mysterious confidence.
There is no one on Earth who is without shortcomings in martial arts. Who can guarantee that they can perfect martial arts to perfection?
Chen Lie nodded.
"Then tell me, what exactly are the shortcomings of my martial arts?" Ji Lingxuan asked tentatively.
"So you're telling me to just pick one place to talk about?"
"You can see many shortcomings in my martial arts?" Ji Lingxuan looked at Chen Lie with a suspicious gaze.
She was meticulous in her martial arts training. Not to mention her peers, even grandmasters could only nod and say "not bad" about her martial arts, unable to find any serious flaws.
Her martial arts may have some imperfections and minor flaws, but she thinks it's unlikely that one could easily find any flaws.
"Pretty much. Your aptitude is actually quite good, you're considered good."
The shortcomings in martial arts are also deeper-level shortcomings, different from those of ordinary people.
Ji Lingxuan smiled slightly, her talent was recognized by the three provinces of Sichuan, but in Chen Lie's mouth, it became "pretty good" and "not bad at all". From this, it can be seen that Chen Lie is also a person who speaks empty words.
"Then tell me, what is my biggest weakness in martial arts?"
Chen Lie looked Ji Lingxuan up and down and said, "Before you entered the Qi and Blood Extreme Realm, you didn't make any major mistakes in martial arts. After entering the Extreme Realm, in the two levels of skin refining and flesh refining, although you can't be considered outstanding, you are still passable and above average."
In the subsequent two smaller stages of tendon and bone training, many flaws and shortcomings appeared.
Especially the bone refining step. This step is when the external skills have been completed and the internal bone refining begins from the outside in. You made a huge mistake in this step. Bone refining is from the inside out. You need to use the blood and qi of the whole body to warm the bones and then use the skills to temper them, and finally forge an indestructible bone structure.
But you temper your bones from the outside in, through external training.
On the surface, you have completed the bone tempering, but in reality, you have only tempered the exterior; your inner self remains weak and feeble.
If I'm not mistaken, are you currently finding it extremely difficult to refine your body without mastering the proper methods?
Upon hearing this, Ji Lingxuan immediately asked, "How do you know that my cultivation is difficult and I can't make any progress?"
"Martial arts must be practiced step by step. You haven't even completed the previous step of refining bones, so it's naturally extremely difficult to refine dirt," Chen Lie said.
"According to you, my bone refining was only superficial?" Ji Lingxuan asked, her tone skeptical.
"That's good." Chen Lie nodded, then added, "If you make a mistake in the bone refining step and can't correct it in time, you'll most likely have no hope of reaching the second level of Qi and Blood Extreme Realm in the future."
Seeing that Chen Lie's explanation sounded plausible, Ji Lingxuan was largely convinced and asked, "Since you say so, you must know how to solve my situation, right?"
"It's simple. I can teach you a method for circulating Qi and blood from the inside out, which will nourish your bones."
Combined with your bone-refining techniques, addressing both internal and external factors simultaneously, this problem can be resolved in less than half a month.
As Chen Lie spoke, he sat down in the communication chair in the booth and said, "Please sit down and listen carefully. I will only explain this method of circulating qi and blood once."
Ji Lingxuan sat opposite Chen Lie, listening intently.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Lie began to explain a simple method for circulating Qi and blood, word by word.
Ji Lingxuan, sitting opposite Chen Lie, secretly circulated her qi and blood according to the qi and blood circulation method he had explained.
Instantly, she was startled.
After circulating this Qi and blood circulation method for a while, Ji Lingxuan felt a significant change. She felt her bones were warm, and a peculiar energy was growing from her bones.
It actually works?
Ji Lingxuan remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she was experiencing a tremendous upheaval.
This progress, which is visible to the naked eye, seems incredible to her.
Ji Lingxuan's gaze towards Chen Lie instantly became much more serious, and she listened to Chen Lie's words even more attentively.
In just over ten minutes, Chen Lie finished explaining a method for circulating Qi and blood.
He added, "You must practice this method of circulating qi and blood for at least half an hour before and after sleep every day, for at least a week. Combine it with your bone-refining method, and your current problem will be solved in less than half a month."
Ji Lingxuan nodded, suppressing her shock and trying to maintain a calm expression on her beautiful face, and said, "Your method of circulating qi and blood will be of great use to me."
You can tell me about the difficulties you encounter in martial arts, and I think I can offer some help.
Chen Lie simply shook his head and said, "As I just said, I have no shortcomings in martial arts."
Even if he is truly lacking in martial arts, there is no one on Earth who can guide him.
Ji Lingxuan was silent for a moment, then finally took out a gold card album: "This is for you."
"What is this?"
Chen Lie took the gold card book and asked.
"I never owe anyone favors, and the method of circulating qi and blood that you gave me has indeed been of great help to me."
This is the reward issued by the Blue Star Martial Arts Association after I won the title of champion of martial arts in Yunnan Province for three consecutive months.
With this card booklet, you can exchange it for a martial arts resource with a market value not exceeding one billion star coins at the martial arts association in any province. This resource could include a thousand-year-old elixir or a second-tier martial arts treasure.
"So generous?" Chen Lie was somewhat surprised. He put the card album into his pocket and said, "Then I'll accept it."
The exchange of ideas between the geniuses lasted for nearly two hours.
At that moment, the announcement from the third floor came on again.
"Students who have finished their martial arts exchange, please come up to the stage one by one to draw lots for the second round of the martial arts exchange."
After the broadcast ended, Chen Lie followed the crowd to the stage and drew another fortune slip.
Upon opening it, I saw that it said "Slot No. 36".
Not long after, the broadcast started again.
"Students who have drawn lots, please go to the corresponding slot according to the slot number on your lot to participate in the second round of martial arts exchange."
Chen Lie listened to the broadcast and went to booth number 36.
Upon arriving at booth number 36, I saw a girl with burgundy hair waiting inside.
Upon seeing Chen Lie, the wine-red-clad girl quickly asked, "Hey, you wouldn't happen to be number 36, my martial arts exchange partner for this round, would you?"
"It's me, that's right."
Chen Lie nodded and took out the sign-in sheet for the slot.
"Tch, what bad luck, I was matched with you. What a waste of my chance to exchange martial arts with geniuses from eight provinces."
The girl with wine-red hair was Tang Jiu'er, a member of the Dongchuan Province Genius Team and a seeded master.
Tang Jiu'er was immediately disappointed when she learned that her martial arts exchange partner was Chen Lie.
In the previous round, her martial arts exchange partner was a martial arts genius from the Northern Shaanxi Province who had reached the Qi and Blood Extreme Realm. Exchanging martial arts with this Qi and Blood Extreme Realm expert benefited her greatly.
I thought I could be matched with top geniuses from eight provinces including Sichuan and Shaanxi to exchange martial arts in the second round, but I ended up meeting Chen Lie instead.
Tang Jiu'er knew that Chen Lie was a newcomer to the Dongchuan Province Genius Team and that his strength was probably not that great, so she immediately gave up the idea of exchanging martial arts skills with him.
So she said, "Let me make this clear first, I have no interest in discussing martial arts with you."
However, if you have any difficulties, I might be willing to offer some guidance.
"I have no problems and don't need your guidance," Chen Lie said directly.
"Really? Let me tell you, you need to think this through carefully. If you miss this opportunity, you'll never get another chance."
"After today, even if you beg me to teach you martial arts, I might not agree to do so," Tang Jiu'er warned.
"No need to consider it," Chen Lie shook his head.
"Alright, just don't regret it later."
Tang Jiu'er shook her head and left the booth, completely unaware of what she had missed.
The two rounds of brilliant exchanges took up the entire afternoon.
Soon it was seven o'clock in the evening, and at the staff's reminder, the geniuses from the eight provinces of Sichuan and Shaanxi went to the second-floor restaurant for dinner.
During the break between dinners, Ji Lingxuan, a member of the Yunchuan Province genius group, once again practiced the Qi and Blood Circulation Technique.
She was even more shocked than before. At dinner, Ji Lingxuan specially prepared a dinner and sat down with Shen Miaowei.
"Student Shen, I have a question I'd like to ask you. I wonder if it would be convenient for you to answer it?"
Shen Miaowei looked at Ji Lingxuan with some surprise.
Within the Yunchuan Province genius group, Ji Lingxuan, who was known for being taciturn and solitary, actually took the initiative to ask her a question, which made her feel strange.
Shen Miaowei said, "Please feel free to ask any questions you may have, Ji."
"May I ask if the person with you today, Chen Lie, is a member of the Dongchuan Province Genius Group, or does he have any special background?"
Shen Miaowei, after confirming the information, asked, "Why are you suddenly inquiring about him?"
"Because during the martial arts exchange just now, my partner was drawn to be him."
He could spot the flaws in my martial arts training at a glance and offer corrections, which greatly benefited me.
"Even martial arts masters couldn't see the flaws in martial arts, yet a peer pointed them out, so I wanted to learn more about this person," Ji Lingxuan said frankly.
"You mean Mr. Chen Lie can actually give you pointers on martial arts?"
Shen Miaowei was immediately surprised, but after thinking for a moment, she said, "This is not surprising. In fact, Mr. Chen Lie's aptitude and potential in the spiritual path are much stronger than your talent in martial arts."
As for exactly how strong it is, I can't say. You should understand why.
"Is it because of the gag order?"
Ji Lingxuan murmured.
She hadn't thought much of mentalists before, but after witnessing Chen Lie's abilities today, she realized just how powerful they were.
Even martial arts masters cannot see the flaws in cultivation, but a divine sense master can see them at a glance and point them out.
This means that his martial arts will almost certainly not go wrong in the future, and he will be able to smoothly enter the realm of martial arts grandmaster.
"In that case, Wang Dongting, the martial arts champion of the Dongchuan Province Genius Group, is no ordinary person either."
The champion of martial arts in Dongchuan Province must be the strongest among the younger generation in Dongchuan Province. In other words, even Chen Lie, who is at the pinnacle of martial arts and a master of divine sense, is not as strong as Wang Dongting, the champion of martial arts in Dongchuan Province.
If the genius group in Dongchuan Province is hiding so well, then the same is probably true in Xichuan.
However, we will naturally find out during the upcoming Three Rivers Martial Arts Tournament.
Meanwhile, Chen Lie had just finished dinner at the restaurant when the staff began assigning dormitories.
"Dear students, today's assembly is over. Here are your room cards. Your dormitories are on the fifth, sixth, and seventh floors. It's written on your room card. If you can't find it, you can ask our staff."
As they spoke, a dozen or so hotel staff members began distributing room keys.
Chen Lie took the room key from a staff member, glanced at it, and saw that it was number 5112, which meant room 112 on the fifth floor.
room.
At that moment, Chen Lie was suddenly struck by a clear, crisp voice.
"Mr. Chen Lie, I've come to find you at the Divine Psychic Association in Guannei Province."
Chen Lie turned around and saw that Shen Miaowei had come up behind him.
"Alright, I'll go and speak with the deacon of the Dongchuan Provincial Association."
Chen Lie nodded, got up and went to Jiang Xiaodong, the steward who was accompanying him from the Dongchuan Martial Arts Association.
"Deacon Jiang, I have to go out for a while later."
Jiang Xiaodong looked at Chen Lie and said, "You must be Chen Lie, right?"
It's currently the time for the gathering of eight provinces, so unless it's absolutely necessary, it's best to avoid going out.
This is also for your safety.
"But something really did happen," Chen Lie said.
"You are from Dongchuan. This is Guannei Province, which is thousands of miles away from Dongchuan. You are unfamiliar with the place and the people here. What could possibly happen here?"
Chen Lie, you are all precious talents of Dongchuan Province. If anything goes wrong in my hands, I will definitely be held accountable. Please understand my situation.
If you just want to see the scenery of Sichuan and Shaanxi, the number one province among the eight provinces, it's the same after the gathering ends.
"I really have something to do, and I have a companion who is a member of the Yunchuan Province Genius Team."
As he spoke, Chen Lie pointed at Shen Miaowei, who smiled and waved to him.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiaodong breathed a sigh of relief: "Alright then, how long will it take you to get back?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, I should be back tonight," Chen Lie said.
"Okay, I'll give you a note, but remember, you absolutely cannot be late for tomorrow's gathering of geniuses."
"Um."
Upon hearing Chen Lie's reply, Jiang Xiaodong wrote a note for Chen Lie on the spot and handed it to him.
After receiving the note, Chen Lie immediately called Shen Miaowei, and together they went down to the first floor of the hotel.
With his identity badge and the note issued by Jiang Xiaodong, Chen Lie easily exited the "Shaanxi First Building" hotel.
After leaving the hotel, Chen Lie looked around and realized just how heavily guarded the hotel was.
The outermost perimeter was surrounded by a team of thousands armed with highly lethal firearms, while inside the hotel, many high-level martial artists guarded key locations.
Chen Lie thought about it and realized it made sense. This was a gathering of geniuses from eight provinces, including Sichuan and Shaanxi. All the top martial arts geniuses from those eight provinces were here. If anything went wrong, all the high-ranking officials below the provincial governor, including the governor himself, would probably have to resign.
"Where is the Association of Spiritual Masters in the Provinces Within the Pass? How do we get there?"
After leaving the hotel, Chen Lie asked Ji Lingxuan.
"I've informed my fourth uncle, and he's already sent an airship to pick me up. We'll wait a moment; the airship should arrive soon," Shen Miaowei replied.
