Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 166 Dan Lake
He Xiaoxing stretched out his hand and pointed at Chen Chuan's chest. "You should be able to feel that the alienated internal organs are attached to the original internal organs, but they can also function independently."

Chen Chuan nodded. This was indeed the case. However, for now, this could only be done in daily situations with little consumption. In a combat situation, they all needed to work together and it was impossible to separate them from either one.

He Xiaoxing said: "The potential of the alienated internal organs is huge, but because of daily needs, your original internal organs are already sufficient. When not in combat, they just remain in a state of near dormancy. Although they will gradually become stronger under your guidance, they will not actively perform any functions, so you have to tell them what you need.

Different needs will cause the alienated internal organs to react and grow differently, and the future growth direction will also be different. There is no best here, only the most suitable for yourself, but the basic training is common, so the subsequent training direction must be awakened in a certain way so that it can feel your needs at any time."

Chen Chuan almost understood what was going on when he heard this. He asked, "Teacher, what should I do next?"

He Xiaoxing looked down the mountain and asked, "Do you see that lake?"

Chen Chuan turned his head and looked, and said, "I see."

"That is the famous Dan Lake here. It is a tourist attraction. There are thousands of them of different sizes on this plain. There is a unique mineral in the lake water, which is a mineral that algae called 'lithophores' like to eat, so the lake water appears red.

It's just that this algae is parasitic, and people will be parasitic after contact with it, so some people here often get a red skin disease, and some will enter the human body through the water source. You should be able to find that most of the drinking water here is transported from other places. "

Chen Chuan recalled that, indeed, on the way back, he saw many people with slightly red skin. Food and accommodation here are very cheap, but drinking water is relatively expensive.

He Xiaoxing said: "But for fighters who have entered the limit, if they are infected with this thing, if the amount is small, they can expel it through breathing and regulating their internal organs.

In the old days, there was a sect here that discovered the special properties of stone algae and used the unique environment here to assist in cultivation. Today’s training will start from here.”

After he finished speaking, he walked to the side and struck a small bronze bell hanging there. After waiting for a while, a car drove out of the town and soon reached the mountain. Chang Ba stuck his head out of the cab, stretched out his hand and greeted the two people, saying, "Teacher He, I'll take you there."

He Xiaoxing didn't say much and walked towards the car. Chen Chuan also got in. After the two were seated, Chang Ba started the car and took them down the hill. After more than a quarter of an hour's journey, they arrived at the Dan Lake.

When you get here, you can see that the outer part of the lake is light red, while the middle part is deep red like blood. The entire lake is calm, as if a piece of jade was embedded there.

The blue sky, white clouds, yellow plains and red lake form a colorful painting, giving people a rich and vivid visual experience.

The three of them got off the car. He Xiaoxing told Chen Chuanchu, "Go over there and dip your arm into the lake water. If anything unusual happens, don't resist. I'll take it out again."

Chen Chuan nodded, walked along the beach by the lake, rolled up his sleeves, and reached his hand into the lake. At this moment, he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the lake seemed to come alive for a moment.

Then he saw that in just a few breaths, a layer of red appeared on the skin of his arm, and a slight tingling sensation arose. At the same time, he also saw that there were faint signs of weakness on the second arm.

But then he stopped the second damage transfer, because He Xiaoxing told me not to resist, so just keep normal.

After about two or three minutes, He Xiaoxing said, "It's OK."

Chen Chuan stood up and found that his entire forearm was turning dark red, and the area was gradually expanding. Then he heard He Xiaoxing's voice.

"These are the stone algae. Now use the alienated tissues inside your body to expel them from your body."

Chen Chuan nodded and began to adjust his breathing. Under his slow guidance, the alienated tissues under the membrane began to move, expelling the tiny foreign objects that had invaded the body.

After just four or five breaths, the light red color on his arm turned into gray-black, and layers of curled and wrinkled wrinkles formed on the surface, as if an extra layer of dead skin had appeared. Then he reached out his hand to touch it, and it fell to the ground like a layer of ash.

Chang Ba had been paying attention to his movements, and his eyes widened when he saw him expel the algae so easily.

He had done this test before, but it took more than ten minutes. The key point was that the rejection process was extremely numb and itchy, almost as uncomfortable as when he was "practicing". However, Chen Chuan looked calm throughout the whole process, as if he didn't notice it at all, which made him very convinced.

He Xiaoxing said, "You were very relaxed when you expelled the foreign body just now. You used the external breathing guidance technique. Now I will teach you a set of internal breathing guidance techniques. It will exchange gas with the outside world through the alienated tissue under the skin and your alienated internal organs without going through your mouth and nose."

As he spoke, he began to explain the tricks of this breathing method.

Chang Ba also tried to do some, but then gave up with a bitter face because he knew he would never be able to learn it.

This involves the use of a large number of alienated organizations. Only relatively complete and comprehensive alienated organizations can be complete. As long as there are some missing ones, even if it can be done, the effect will be greatly reduced. He could only complete part of it at the beginning, and now he has become stronger, but there is still no change.

Chen Chuan practiced the Zhou Yuan Jin method, and he had all the required alienated tissues, so according to the method taught by He Xiaoxing, he mastered the method in about half an hour. He Xiaoxing said: "Now try it again, this time you don't need external breathing guidance, just use the internal breathing guidance technique you just learned."

Chen Chuan agreed, and he walked to the lake again, dipped his arm in it, and when the time was almost up, he pulled it out and began to try to use internal breathing alone to pull the alienated tissue out for rejection.

This time it felt many times more difficult for him, because he was already accustomed to external breathing. He always felt that he was not able to exert any strength when using internal breathing, and the pushing process was also very awkward.

In the beginning, as his concentration deepened, he would even breathe externally without realizing it. Although he stopped immediately after quickly realizing it, it still required him to divert some of his attention to prevent himself from making the same mistake again.

He Xiaoxing said at this time: "I'll give you one day to master it. If you can master it by this time tomorrow, then we'll move on to the next stage."

Chen Chuan nodded.

He Xiaoxing didn't say what would happen if he couldn't do it, but this was definitely just the most basic requirement. If he couldn't even meet the first step, there was definitely no need to continue with the subsequent training.

However, he was not worried about this, because as long as he could use the second self to overlap, his physical fitness would double and it should be easy to complete this. He just wanted to test his own limits first, because only when he became stronger, he would become stronger after the overlap.

He Xiaoxing saw that he was quickly immersed in cultivation, so he turned and walked away. Chang Ba looked at him and said to Chen Chuanchu: "Hey, we are going back first, you can practice slowly, I will pick you up in the evening?"

Chen Chuan said without even turning his head: "No, thank you. Please help me get my things down. I'll be here tonight."

Chang Ba shrugged, "It's up to you." Anyway, this place is not far from the town, and there is no danger for a fighter in the wilderness.

He returned to the car, took down the things Chen Chuan brought and put them aside. He greeted the latter and returned to the driver's seat. After the car started, he asked, "Uncle He, it's just one day, can he do it?" It took him half a month to complete it. Is this too demanding?

He Xiaoxing said in a deep voice: "For him, one day is more than enough."

Chang Ba said "oh", but he felt a little sad in his heart.

After the two people left, Chen Chuan continued to concentrate on practicing, but after practicing for a while, he still couldn't find the trick.

Instead of insisting on trying again, he stopped, walked to the package in the distance, took out a tube of nutritional paste from it, ate it, and then carefully summarized what he had done wrong before trying again.

This busy work lasted until the evening. After another round of guidance, he looked at the light red arm. Although he had tried for such a long time and had squeezed out some of the algae, he knew it was not enough.

At this moment, he looked up and saw the sunset glow diffused in the sky. The Dan Lake in the distance seemed to be connected with it. It was bright red and dazzling. It was a sight rarely seen elsewhere.

After looking for a while, he suddenly had an idea and looked at the world again.

Yes, the whole thing!
Although He Xiaoxing told him which alienated organizations he needed to cooperate with, it does not mean that he can only use these alienated organizations. He Xiaoxing also said that everyone must find the way that suits them best.

The reason why he couldn't do it just now was because the alienated tissues involved were not strong enough, but he was practicing the Zhou Yuan Jin Fa, and had more and more complete alienated tissues than others. So when guiding internal breathing, he could let other alienated tissues assist and participate!

And integrity is also the consistent concept in martial arts practice since the beginning of training.

After this line of thought came to him, he immediately stood up, and while guiding his internal breathing, he tried to mobilize the alienated tissues throughout his body to cooperate.

At first there was no significant change, but after about ten minutes, he saw ashes falling to the ground under his feet, and his entire arm had completely returned to its original appearance!
The next day, around six o'clock in the morning, Chang Ba drove He Xiaoxing here.

He saw from afar Chen Chuan sitting on a rock near the lake, with his trouser legs rolled up and his feet immersed in the lake water. He was looking sideways at the rising sun in the sky.

When he heard the car coming, he stood up from the stone, and as he stood up and walked from the water to the beach, it could be clearly seen that there was not even the slightest trace of red on his legs and feet.
