Simultaneous transmigration, but with low martial arts and low magic.

Chapter 53 Huang Yaoshi's Worries

Upon hearing this, the old rascal Zhou Botong chuckled and squatted down in front of Li Ke, extending his two palms.

"Little Taoist priest, let me give it a try."

Seeing this, Li Ke stretched out his palm and exchanged palms with the old rascal.

In an instant, the two forces clashed, and Li Ke quickly fell into a disadvantageous position, collapsing at the slightest touch.

This is because internal strength is vastly inferior to innate true qi, both in quantity and quality.

However, after opening up the Ren meridian, Li Ke's internal energy attributes had already undergone earth-shattering changes.

The original Yin-Yang balance and balanced, harmonious internal energy has been transformed into extremely cold and yin-like internal energy.

Therefore, Li Ke's internal energy crumbled instantly when faced with Zhou Botong's innate true energy, like tofu hitting a stone.

However, the extremely cold internal energy still caused frost to form on Zhou Botong's hands, making him shiver.

"It's not fun, it's not fun."

As he spoke, Zhou Botong stood up, and as he shook his hands, white steam rose from his palms.

"Zhiguang, how are you feeling?"

Hao Datong stepped forward and asked, his face full of worry.

According to records, those who failed to open the Ren and Du meridians either died on the spot from broken meridians and shattered internal organs, or suffered from sequelae such as paralysis, insanity, or madness.

At this point, Li Ke had only opened the Ren meridian, not the Du meridian. It's unknown whether there will be any serious side effects.

"Master, I am fine, better than ever before."

Upon hearing this, everyone was slightly taken aback.

"After the Ren meridian is opened, the twelve regular meridians and the Ren meridian are connected as a whole, and a preliminary large circulation can be carried out."

Therefore, both the speed and power of my internal energy recovery have increased significantly.

Upon hearing this, everyone finally understood Li Ke's current situation and was happy for his breakthrough.

But seeing Li Ke's demeanor subtly become a little colder, Huang Yaoshi frowned slightly.

Because he created so many martial arts techniques, he had a deep understanding of them and knew that martial arts could subtly change a martial artist's mindset.

For example, practicing martial arts with an internal energy attribute that leans towards yin can unconsciously make a person's temperament suspicious, ruthless, and extreme.

Practicing martial arts with a predominantly yang internal energy attribute can unconsciously make a person more impulsive, irritable, and reckless.

This is why Central Plains martial arts emphasize the balance of Yin and Yang, and the combination of strength and gentleness, so as not to cause drastic changes in temperament and become extreme.

Li Ke has only opened the Ren meridian, which is obviously due to an excess of Yin energy. This will inevitably affect his temperament, causing Huang Yaoshi to worry.

However, Li Ke, unaware of Huang Yaoshi's thoughts, took out two manuals and said:

"Qiu Qianren offered his Iron Palm skill and Water-Walking technique as an apology."

This is tantamount to tacitly acknowledging that we can practice it, effectively making it a part of the Quanzhen School's heritage.

I propose establishing a contribution point system, whereby contribution points can be gradually exchanged for these two martial arts techniques for independent study.

"A contribution point system?"

Upon hearing Li Ke's suggestion, the Seven Masters of Quanzhen and Huang Yaoshi became interested and listened attentively.

Li Ke nodded slightly and said in a deep voice:

"Although our Quanzhen Sect is known as the number one sect in the world and the orthodox sect of Taoism, it even slightly surpasses Shaolin Temple in terms of reputation and prestige."

However, this is based on the fact that Shaolin Temple still remains closed off and its disciples rarely venture out into the world.

In terms of historical depth, our Quanzhen School is far inferior to the Shaolin Temple, which has a history of nearly a thousand years.

Upon hearing this, the Seven Masters of Quanzhen fell silent, because in terms of true foundation, their Quanzhen Sect was indeed inferior to the Shaolin Temple.

In terms of disciples, Shaolin Temple has long had hundreds of martial monks and possesses the famous Arhat Formation, making it undeniably powerful.

In terms of martial arts, the Shaolin Seventy-Two Arts, the Yi Jin Jing, and the Xi Sui Jing have been famous throughout the martial arts world for nearly a thousand years, demonstrating that their martial arts foundation is by no means weak.

Furthermore, Shaolin Temple has a vast and complex network of relationships, with connections to government agencies, civilians, and martial arts sects, and allies everywhere.

This has led to the Shaolin Temple being wiped out by people more than once or twice over the past thousand years, but each time the storm has passed, the Shaolin Temple has stood up again.

"I have studied the situation of Shaolin Temple, and I believe that the reason why Shaolin Temple has been able to continue its tradition for thousands of years is precisely because of its system that is both closed and open."

For thousands of years, Shaolin Temple has had a system of lay disciples. Lay disciples do not need to be ordained as monks or nuns. They can marry, have children, and even take on disciples to teach Shaolin martial arts.

Among these, if a lay disciple takes in a student with good aptitude, the student's martial arts skills will surpass those of the master.

Ultimately, due to the lack of subsequent martial arts techniques and guidance from a master, he hit a bottleneck.

If you want to become stronger and break through the bottleneck of martial arts, you can only join the Shaolin Temple and eventually learn more advanced martial arts.

As a result, this system of lay disciples has provided Shaolin Temple with a continuous stream of high-quality talents, ensuring that Shaolin Temple has never lacked masters for thousands of years.

With a constant stream of skilled masters, it's possible to ensure that Shaolin Temple won't be wiped out by external enemies. Even if it were,

With the support of lay disciples throughout the Central Plains, Shaolin Temple was able to rebuild quickly and prosper rapidly.

This is why, for nearly a thousand years, Shaolin Temple has still stood on Shaoshi Mountain, remaining the orthodox Buddhist sect in the world.

Upon hearing Li Ke's analysis, the Seven Masters of Quanzhen and Huang Yaoshi nodded slightly, agreeing that Li Ke's analysis did indeed make some sense.

At this point, Li Ke continued:

"Our Quanzhen Sect aspires to be like the Shaolin Temple, which has survived for nearly a thousand years without becoming extinct, and to become the true number one sect in the world."

I think we can learn from the Shaolin Temple's closed yet open system and create our own system of lay disciples.

By continuously absorbing outstanding lay disciples, our Quanzhen Sect will never lack masters.

Upon hearing this, the Seven Masters of Quanzhen fell into deep thought.

He was considering whether he should learn from the Shaolin Temple and create his own system of lay disciples.

However, Li Ke's words did not end there, so he continued:

"In this nearly thousand-year history, we can see that since the Shaolin Temple created the Marrow Cleansing Classic, the Tendon Changing Classic, and the Seventy-Two Unique Skills, it has been able to achieve great things."

Since then, Shaolin Temple has never created any amazing skills that amaze the world again.

Why is this happening?

I believe it's because Shaolin Temple has become increasingly closed off, keeping a tighter grip on its own 72 unique skills and the Yi Jin Jing, and setting excessively high barriers to entry for learning them.

Because Shaolin Temple is keeping its 72 unique skills and the Yi Jin Jing (Muscle/Tendon Changing Classic) under its thumb, outsiders have no chance to learn them.

Even Shaolin Temple disciples who want to learn the Seventy-Two Arts and the Yi Jin Jing need to accumulate seniority and build trust.

By the time they are finally able to learn the Yi Jin Jing or the Seventy-Two Arts, they are often already quite old; and by the time they have mastered their martial arts to perfection, they are already old.

When a person gets old, their innovative ability and achievements after studying are all inferior to those in their youth and middle age.

Should we learn from this experience, such as breaking down a martial art into several parts and teaching them separately?

After that, the disciples and followers wanted to learn martial arts.

They will do their best to contribute to the sect and earn contribution points to exchange for more advanced martial arts.

At the same time, because they can learn the introductory parts of advanced martial arts in advance, they can become masters more quickly, thereby rapidly enhancing the strength and foundation of the Quanzhen Sect.

Upon hearing this, the Seven Masters of Quanzhen fell into deep thought once again, considering the pros and cons.
