I have a little bit of talent

Although the cave is extremely simple and has the look of a bare home, it is indeed a bit shabby as a place to live and retreat for a long time in the future.

But this did not pose a problem for Fang Mu, as he had stored good things in his mustard seed space. In addition to fine wine and delicacies purchased from various places, daily necessities were also available. Although he had used up some of them in Xishan City, he had already replenished them and even added a lot more, which was just enough to deal with the current situation.

Half an hour later, Fang Mu looked at the cave that he had rearranged and nodded with satisfaction.

The original simple stone bed had been quietly replaced at some point, and was replaced by a bed carefully made of fine sandalwood. This sandalwood bed exuded a faint sandalwood scent. The bed was covered with soft and smooth silk sheets, with bright colors.

Bedding and pillows were neatly stacked on the side. These bedding and pillows were not only filled with thick stuffing, but also made of fine fabrics, and felt as smooth as silk. A light sniff could also give off a fresh and elegant fragrance.

There was a wooden table and several wooden chairs in the center of the cave. A set of fine tea sets was placed on the wooden table. The empty walls around it were also decorated with many calligraphy, paintings and embroidery.

With this arrangement, the cave no longer looked like a place for ascetic practice, but instead had some shadows of a bedroom in a wealthy family.

After arranging the cave to his satisfaction, Fang Mu took out the three self-defense skills he had just obtained from the Taoist Pavilion and examined them carefully.

As mentioned in the preface, the trend of spiritual practice in this world is extremely strong, and the upper limit is also extremely high. Since ancient times, the major sects headed by the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism have created countless magical skills. After the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, spiritual practice has been vigorously promoted and developed. The spiritual practice world has gradually shown a trend of flourishing and a hundred schools of thought. Over the past thousand years, countless sects and unique skills have emerged, like a swarm of carp crossing the river, and the number is truly innumerable.

But no matter how many techniques there are, no matter how wonderful the techniques are, they can be summarized into only two types.

The first one is the internal training method, which some people also call the fundamental method. It is the way to lay the foundation for practice and is the most important thing.

Whether it is training the body, training the qi, or training the spirit, they all practice with the core concept of internal training fundamental law, tempering the body, warming the true qi, and sharpening the spirit. The strength of the fundamental law lies in the height that the practitioner can reach and the speed of practice. The three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit can actually grow infinitely, but everyone has their limits.

The purpose of practicing the fundamental Dharma is to practice infinite Dharma with a limited body, break through the limitations of the human body, and enhance the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit as much as possible.

The three magical skills Fang Mu obtained in the ethereal state are the Taoist Taixu Yangshen Zhenjing, the Buddhist Liuli Jinguang Yunshen Xinfa, and the Confucian Haoran Yangqi Jue. Although these three skills have different focuses, they can improve the spirit of the practitioner to a level that ordinary people can't reach, and they are all extremely superior internal training methods.

The second type is the techniques for protecting the way. The fundamental method is to enhance the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit and break through the upper limit of the human body. The techniques for protecting the body are to use the physical body, spirit and true energy that are far beyond that of ordinary people. There are quite a lot of them in this category.

Various types of boxing, palm techniques, finger techniques and other means of attack and defense, including body techniques and self-defense skills, all fall into the category of techniques.

Some superior techniques even contain the true meaning of heaven and earth. Once the practitioner has some understanding of them, his combat power will advance by leaps and bounds, and the properties of his qi, blood and true qi will be transformed, thereby promoting the progress of the fundamental law and making it easier to break through the barriers of practice.

The fundamental method consolidates the foundation and improves the upper limit, while the protective technique fights against the enemy and protects oneself. The two can be said to complement each other.

If a cultivator only cultivates the fundamental Dharma but does not practice the techniques of maintaining the Dao, and is not good at fighting, it is like having a mountain of gold and silver but not being able to spend it. When encountering an enemy of a lower realm, he can still defeat him by relying on his cultivation realm, but if he encounters an enemy that is similar to him or even stronger than him, it will be difficult to resolve the situation peacefully.

On the contrary, if one only cultivates the techniques of the Dao without cultivating the fundamental law, he will be inferior. His essence is the same as that of ordinary people, his spirit is ordinary, and he has no great magical power. No matter how mysterious his moves are, he will have no way to deal with the overwhelming force of his opponent and can only surrender.

After all, you always got full marks in your elementary school homework, so you are still at a loss when faced with high school and university knowledge which is countless times more advanced.

Of course, there are also some magical skills that take into account both the fundamental methods and the protective techniques. The most typical one is the Iron Fist Method of the Iron Fist School, which can not only train the body and qi, enhance the upper limit of human body development, but also can be used to meet the enemy, consistently and unparalleled in its ferocity.

Fang Mu's fundamental method combines the strengths of the three schools, so naturally there is no weakness. As long as he practices step by step,

He had learned many techniques for defending himself, but he had not practiced any techniques for defending himself.

In other words, he now has three-dimensional attribute supermodels, and his attack and dodge skill points are almost maxed out. Only his defense skill is still blank and urgently needs to be supplemented.

Therefore, Taoist Chenxuan selected several self-defense skills for him, which was exactly what he wanted.

"Zizizizi, the holy land is the holy land. These three self-defense techniques are not simple at all."

In less than an hour, Fang Mu had memorized the contents of the three techniques, put them back into the mustard seed space, and began to think about which one he should practice first.

Taoist Chen Xuan is the elder who teaches martial arts at Baiyun Temple and a top master at the Three Flowers Realm. He has a very sharp eye. The three self-defense techniques he selected are of extremely high levels and are all superior methods that are more in line with Fang Mu's current level of practice.

Among them, the Star-Moving Magical Art takes the Qi sea in the Dantian as the sky, and the opened acupoints as shooting stars. The Yuanshen controls the true Qi in the acupoints to imitate the trajectory of the starry sky above the head and enhance the true Qi defense.

Before Fang Mu practiced self-defense skills, although he had the ability to use his true qi to defend himself, his use was quite crude, and he could only block attacks by relying on his own powerful true qi.

However, if one practices the Star-Moving Art, the spirit will control the acupoints and the true Qi will flow and fluctuate naturally. Not only will the defense be greatly enhanced, but if the opponent is not careful, they will be injured by the natural defense caused by the flow of true Qi. It can be said that it has both offensive and defensive capabilities and is mysterious and unparalleled.

What's even more amazing is that as the acupoints move, the weaknesses of the Dantian Qi Sea disappear. Even if you are hit by someone for a moment, the true Qi attacking the Dantian can move the acupoints away at any time to reduce the injury.

This magical skill alone has surpassed any major martial arts that Fang Mu had seen before!

As for the Great Method of Profound Heaven and Earth, it is also about absorbing the Qi of Heaven and Earth, but it requires the use of the power of the supreme primordial spirit to smelt and purify it, dividing the Qi of Heaven and Earth into the power of Heaven and Earth, and then integrating it with the power of Qi and blood to form a Profound Heaven and Earth on the surface of the physical body, which is invulnerable to swords and spears, and difficult to invade by water and fire.

Originally, the Qi of heaven and earth was invisible and intangible, and ordinary methods only integrated it into one's own refining, improving the primordial spirit, polishing the true Qi and opening up the acupoints. But this mysterious method of heaven and earth could actually integrate it into the Qi, blood and strength, turning the invisible into the visible.

The more Qi of heaven and earth a practitioner can absorb, the stronger his Qi and blood will be, and the more powerful the Heaven and Earth Profound Gang formed by the fusion will be.

With Fang Mu's Qi and blood strength far exceeding that of his peers, if he could practice this method successfully, his Heaven and Earth Profound Gang might really have a sense of being invulnerable to all kinds of attacks. It would not be much worse than a real person's Dharma body. In the future, he would not have to dodge and evade when facing the enemy. Even if he charged head-on, it would be difficult to find an opponent.
