86: Chapter 83 Twelve Forms of Yi Jin Xi Sui

As that sensation of intense heat continued to fade, Li Changsheng felt a slight sense of suspicion.

"This is..."

Li Changsheng looked at his own arms; it seemed as though a thin film had appeared on the surface of his skin.

He gently rubbed his arm and saw flakes of dead skin falling off.

"Skin peeling?!"

Did the intense heat from just now cause me to shed a layer of dead skin?

Not quite understanding why the change was so significant, Li Changsheng hurriedly ran back to his room to review the detailed information again.

"The first layer, Gentle Fire Meridian Unblocking, once mastered, can open up the joints, relax the tendons and activate blood circulation, strengthen the body, dispel illness and prolong life, achieving effects such as disease prevention, disease resistance, health preservation, and beauty enhancement.

The second layer, Fierce Fire Qi Circulation: circulates through the twelve meridians, causing various parts of the body to naturally produce a strong rebound when struck. If Qi is channeled to a specific point, it can automatically produce the effect of breaking bricks and splitting stones, generating power several or even dozens of times greater than that of an ordinary person.

Once Fierce Fire Qi Circulation is mastered, one can freely channel Qi to any part of the body, generating powerful strength for body strengthening and self-defense, helping the weak, and it can also be used to perform various Hard Qigong displays on stage."

As the detailed information was read out, Li Changsheng's eyes suddenly brightened.

"Isn't this just Hard Qigong? Is this thing so powerful? The external practice of the Twelve Forms of Tendon Transformation and Marrow Cleansing, the Tendon Transformation Classic, is actually Hard Qigong?"

"Could it be that those Shaolin Hard Qigong feats, like spears poking at the throat or blades scraping the flesh without causing any injury, are because they practiced this?"

Looking at the panel, Li Changsheng's pupils suddenly constricted.

[stamina: 8]

[Energy: 8]

[Lifespan: 3 years, 128 days.]

"I can feel that my strength has increased a lot. The System didn't lie to me this time; it gave me a huge surprise!"

Li Changsheng rubbed his chin, and his gaze immediately returned to the information.

"The third layer, Qi Circulation for Healing: automatically circulates the Qi mechanism throughout the body to achieve the goal of self-healing. It can dispel some cold pathogens from the body, thereby achieving recovery.

Physical pain, apart from that caused by some external injuries, is often formed due to blocked meridians or obstructed Qi and blood. It allows the Qi mechanism to flow freely within the body to clear blockages, achieving the goal of self-repair and healing."

Seeing this, Li Changsheng was already clicking his tongue in wonder. As for the fourth layer, Internal Qi Projection, it could even be called a miniature version of the Wuxia Tendon Transformation Classic.

Well, a miniature version is still very powerful.

"No wonder the System said that the Twelve Forms of Tendon Transformation and Marrow Cleansing is extremely difficult to improve. If it could be improved casually, Hard Qigong would already be considered a Minor Achievement."

Li Changsheng didn't know much about Hard Qigong; he only knew that it was divided into gentle practice and fierce practice, but he wasn't clear on the specifics.

The feeling of having a thin film all over his body was quite uncomfortable, so Li Changsheng put down the information and went into the bathroom to wash up.

But just as he arrived in the bathroom, Li Changsheng was slightly stunned.

Looking at himself in the mirror, hmm, he seemed even more handsome than before.

Especially after tearing off that layer of dead skin, his skin was as fair as a baby's. Looking at the skin, this was exactly what the Daoist school referred to as returning to the fetal state.

Looking at his hair again, he was stunned to find that it had become even blacker and thicker than before.

Li Changsheng remembered that when he used to work overtime heavily, he had quite a few white hairs, and his hair showed signs of dryness and split ends.

But after Cultivating Health-preserving Qigong and various nourishing supplements, his body was well-maintained, and his hair quality had also improved.

But this time, there seemed to have been an instantaneous change.

This feeling was like not having looked in a mirror for a long time and suddenly looking into one again.

Looking at his hair again, it was dark and lustrous, and his eyes seemed even more spirited than usual.

As for this skin, Li Changsheng estimated that women would be envious; it was completely natural, without a single pimple. His complexion wasn't overly pale, but it had already reached the limit of what his own genes could achieve.

"Old Master Jin Yong did not deceive me; perhaps he exaggerated, but he didn't lie completely."

This felt somewhat like a rebirth.

But thinking about the description of the Twelve Forms of Tendon Transformation and Marrow Cleansing in his memory, Li Changsheng felt a headache coming on.

If one simply looked up the Twelve Forms of Tendon Transformation and Marrow Cleansing in his memory online and followed the practices there, it would actually be very difficult to get started.

Because this requires reading up on some meridian theory, secondly, the movements must be extremely standard, and furthermore, one must learn the guiding techniques within it.

"Although the memory has granted me the ability to get started quickly, and even reach the second level directly, this is a slow and painstaking process; it might take a very long time to reach the third level."

Li Changsheng sighed, but he didn't feel much regret in his heart.

Since he originally only intended to use the Twelve Forms of Tendon Transformation and Marrow Cleansing for healing and resolving hidden ailments, he didn't plan to focus heavily on training in this Cultivation Technique.

The main thing is that it is slow to take effect.

"According to the memory description, if the Twelve Forms of Tendon Transformation and Marrow Cleansing are practiced day after day, the effects presented are gradual. But because I had the System directly improve it, that's why it's so obvious."

"Perhaps I should read more when I have time."

Li Changsheng thought about ways to exploit the System, which he had neglected before because he was busy dealing with his cancer.

"It's not too late now."

After washing off the dead skin from his body, Li Changsheng fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, he greeted his grandmother as usual and started his morning run.

"Huff, huff! My heart rate is still only around ninety to one hundred after ten kilometers, and I can still maintain an average speed of 12 seconds per 100 meters."

Li Changsheng wiped the few beads of sweat from his forehead and let out a light breath. Facing the sun, at this moment, he felt that the vitality of his body was a wonderful feeling.

Running back to the village entrance, Li Changsheng prepared to go to Qiang Zi's place to do some more strength training.

"Just right, I'll test it with the sandbag."

Thinking of this, Li Changsheng prepared to walk towards the east end of the village.

But just then, he saw an off-road vehicle driving from not far outside the village.

Hmm?

Seeing this off-road vehicle, which was clearly worth hundreds of thousands or even over a million, Li Changsheng was a bit curious.

Although the village had developed well these days, no one could afford to drive such a car. As for those traveling to Wudang Mountain, logically, they shouldn't be passing by the village entrance.

It shouldn't be someone coming to stay overnight either, as it isn't a holiday.

Not long after, the off-road vehicle pulled up steadily at the village entrance, then the door opened, and a muscular middle-aged man with blonde hair and blue eyes, wearing a windbreaker and carrying a travel backpack, stepped out.

This person looked at the width of the alleyway entering the village and frowned.

"Excuse me, sir, are you from this village?"

When this foreigner opened his mouth, it was surprisingly standard, articulate Chinese, which made Li Changsheng even more surprised.

He had seen foreigners with accents, but never one so articulate; it sounded just like a broadcast voice.

Li Changsheng himself had a slight Chu Province accent, and most people were the same. Unless one had specifically studied broadcasting or was influenced by family education, where would such articulate speech come from?

"Yes, who are you..."

"That's great. My name is Jones Peterman. Of course, you can also call me by my Chinese name, Peterman."

"?"

Li Changsheng was a bit speechless. Is there any difference between your Peterman and Peterman?

"Hello, it's like this: I would like to stay here for a period of time. Could you help me find a parking space or a place to stay?"
