Upon seeing this, Zhang Zhiwei suddenly realized, "These four thoracic vertebrae are closely related to the heart and lungs. Therefore, the root cause of my angina and lung problems is that these four vertebrae are being attacked by the solar terms in the Qimen Bureau, which in turn affects the heart and lungs."
"So, the repair I just did was in vain. It only treated the symptoms and not the root cause. If the problems on these four vertebrae are not resolved, even if I fix them today, there will be problems again tomorrow!"
As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Zhiwei immediately moved the Qi in his body and directly dispelled the external energy on the four vertebrae, then warmed them up for a while. After the energy there was completely calmed down, Zhang Zhiwei withdrew the innate Qi and did not continue to strengthen it.
After all, this is a delicate operation and cannot be sloppy. As for the specific implementation, it is better to wait until he returns to Longhu Mountain and studies the Qimen algorithm before making an attempt.
After repairing his injuries, Zhang Zhiwei leaned against the bathtub and began to sum up the gains and losses of the day, recalling the day's battles.
Sudden flashes of inspiration and sudden enlightenment are not normal, but a person who is good at summarizing can turn his sudden flashes of inspiration into his normal abilities.
Recalling the previous battle scenes, countless images twisted and danced in Zhang Zhiwei's mind, like jumping flames in a strong wind.
Lu Jin, Lu Ci, Lu Ren, Feng Tianyang...
Human figures flashed by madly.
Lu Jin, who was crying while forcing a smile and saying polite words, Lu Ci, who was hysterical when he grabbed her hand, and Lu Ren, who looked desperate under the slap...
The silver-shining Chang Bing, Feng Tianyang wearing a Nuo mask, was caught in his hands, and the giant snake Chang Jiang, with its ferocious fangs visible...
After thinking it over carefully, Zhang Zhiwei shook his head and sighed:
"Talent really divides people into different levels!"
Among the thirty-six thieves like Feng Tianyang, who will master the eight unique skills in the future, even if they have not mastered the skills yet, they are already very good in their respective fields and have their own understanding and planning of their own paths. They do not need too much guidance from others. They only need to compare themselves with the enemy in battle and reflect on themselves to gain some insights.
Among the thirty-six thieves, none of them had mastered any special skills. The twenty or so thieves who served as a foil, like Liu Deshui and Feng Ping, were equally talented and could understand everything with just a little guidance.
However, for an average person like Zhuge Yunhui, even if he practices diligently, he still needs a wake-up call, and even a journey through the gates of life and death, before he can understand himself.
"What about me? Which category do I fall into? I seem to be constantly gaining enlightenment, but it also seems like I haven't truly gained it. What I've gained before was all through guiding others and reflecting on myself. So what about me? What can I gain from what I've learned?"
Zhang Zhiwei said to himself that he was learning the Golden Light Mantra and the Five Thunders Law. There were few people in Longhu Mountain who practiced these two skills better than him.
But that's all.
He did not comprehend the ability that was close to the Tao. Although his Golden Light Mantra had some such tendency, Zhang Zhiwei understood that it was not actually the case.
He simply understood the essence of the golden light and applied it, rather than realizing the means to transcend the Golden Light Mantra itself.
"Skills are close to the Tao. This is the effect that can only be achieved after a method is practiced to the extreme. Since I haven't achieved it, it means that my practice of the Golden Light Mantra is not yet complete, at least not to the point of being close to the Tao. This is a slow and steady process. Don't be impatient. Haste makes waste!"
Zhang Zhiwei let go of his obsession that had just begun to show signs of emerging. Having lived two lives, he always knew one thing: practicing Taoism is like pursuing a girl. The more you care about her, the less likely you are to get her.
If you don't take it seriously and just do your best, it will often come.
"Oh right, during our previous sparring session, I figured out the trajectory of Lu Jin's Qi in his brow during his reverse life state. Now I can try to activate the Yang Five Thunder-like reverse life state!"
Zhang Zhiwei took action immediately. To be on the safe side, he first used golden light to protect the meridians in his body, and then mobilized the innate fire and gold Qi, and began to circulate it in the reverse three-level Qi trajectory, starting from three inches below the navel, passing through the internal organs inch by inch, all the way up.
Because he had used golden light to protect his meridians in advance, Zhang Zhiwei did not feel any burning sensation when he circulated the innate fire and gold qi this time.
The innate fire and gold qi passed through the middle dantian and went straight to the upper dantian between the eyebrows, but at the moment when it was about to rush into the upper dantian, Zhang Zhiwei stopped.
A chill spread throughout his body, and he felt that discomfort again, the feeling that he was about to melt away.
"So, the problem with the previous attempt wasn't me, but the problem with the reverse state itself. Should we continue?"
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Zhiwei decided to continue. Lu Jin used this trick every day without any problems. He wanted to see where the weirdness of this triple rebirth was.
Zhang Zhiwei calmed himself down, then his energy and the innate fire and gold qi rushed into the dantian above his eyebrows.
In an instant, Zhang Zhiwei felt a muffled thunder exploding in his head, and then the innate fire and gold qi that rushed into the upper dantian changed.
The innate fire Qi and the innate gold Qi actually began to merge. The two Qi became one, and there was no longer any distinction between the attributes of fire and gold. They completely turned into a new Qi.
The appearance of this Qi is still that of lightning, but it is a light golden color, and it is extremely bright inside, emitting bursts of terrifying aura.
"This is……"
Zhang Zhiwei was startled, but quickly realized that his Yang Wu Lei version of the reverse life state was successful.
Looking at this new ball of light golden Qi, Zhang Zhiwei had to admit that he had underestimated this reverse state.
Zhang Zhiwei's previous speculation was that the so-called reverse life state was actually the innate Qi cultivated through the three levels of reverse life. Through this method of Qi circulation, it underwent a transformation in the upper Dantian, and then part of the body was transformed into the innate Qi.
But now it seems that this reverse-birth state is not to run the refined innate Qi to the center of the eyebrows, but to run several strands of innate Qi to the center of the eyebrows, merge them into the innate Qi at the center of the eyebrows, and then regenerate them throughout the body, making the body become the innate Qi.
"That makes sense. After all, the innate Qi has already been divided into the limbs and bones when a person is born. This thing cannot exist in the body forever. The three levels of reverse birth should only extract the various innate Qi that make up the innate Qi. If you want to fuse them into the innate Qi, you have to go through the reverse birth state. Therefore, the reverse birth state can only be maintained for a short time, at least that's the case with Lu Jin!"
"But if the normal reverse life state transforms into the innate Qi, then what does my Yang Five Thunder version of the reverse life state transform into? The innate thunder, the innate thunder?"
Zhang Zhiwei felt the shallowness of his own knowledge.
He felt this new Qi and quickly came to the conclusion that he could control this Qi as easily as with his own arms. It was not difficult to control its generation and activate the reverse growth state.
But he hesitated.
If it was ordinary innate fire and gold qi, although it would be a bit risky, Zhang Zhiwei felt that with his own life cultivation, he could afford it.
But Zhang Zhiwei was not sure about this golden Qi. He might really end up playing with fire and getting burned.
"But it would be a shame to give up just like that. How about... guiding it a little bit, like testing the waters with an unimportant part like the hair first?"
