The shop assistant's reaction was not unexpected. After hearing Shen Yan's words, she immediately revealed a dumbfounded expression.
"Internal force?"
The saleswoman covered her mouth and laughed." Are you kidding me? How can there be such a thing? It's all a lie." Don't believe it, and don't train blindly. What if you break your body?”
The lady was very warm and considerate, but Shen Yan was not in the mood to enjoy it. He smiled and nodded at the lady before turning around and walking towards the health books section.
Since there was no way to obtain a skill that could directly increase one's physique, he could only use conventional methods.
He would first level up his medical skills, rely on his health, and then stick to his daily exercise. The effect would probably not be too bad.
After all, he had just turned 20 years old and was still very young. His poor health was only caused by bad habits.
With more conditioning and more attention, his physical fitness would definitely improve.
"Hey, little brother, wait a minute!"
When the shop assistant saw that Shen Yan was about to leave, she subconsciously called out to him.
Shen Yan turned around. The saleswoman hesitated for a while and said,""Um…Big Sister recommended you to read some Taoist scriptures. Aren't the martial arts shows on TV all related to these? I remember that the Nine Yin Scripture seems to be summarized from Taoist scriptures.”
The shop assistant was just trying to make conversation. She wanted to spend more time with Shen Yan, but this made Shen Yan's eyes light up.
That's right, he could try this type of book.
Even if he couldn't get what he wanted, Shen Yan was still very curious about what abilities he would obtain after studying these religious scriptures.
"Thank you!"
Shen Yan thanked the shop assistant and walked towards the religious books section.
The saleswoman was a little disappointed. She looked at Shen Yan's back and felt lost. She did not know which little b * stard would benefit from such a good-looking young man.
Shen Yan came to the religious books section and swept his gaze across the bookshelf in front of him. This bookshelf was filled with Taoist classics.
Shen Yan casually took a book and the system immediately gave him a notification.
"Ding! [Discovered skill book, Baopuzi Internal Sutra. Do you want to learn it?]”
"Learn!"
"Ding! Learned the skill book " Baopuzi Internal Sutra ". Obtained skill: Qi Refinement."
Strange memories and experiences flooded his mind. Shen Yan's mouth was wide open, and his eyes gradually widened.
It actually…succeeded?
[Qi Refinement: Beginner (0/200)] You have already become a third-rate Qi Refinement Warrior. You can obtain the energy in the void through Qi Refinement.
Looking at the skill introduction on the system panel and browsing through the memories that had just entered his mind, Shen Yan could not calm down for a long time.
Such a thing actually existed in this world. Wasn't the Qi Refinement Warrior from the Pre-Qin period a legend?
Shen Yan was shocked. He was stunned for a long time before he regained his composure.
The so-called qi cultivation was to absorb the energy in the void through a special posture and a special breathing rhythm, and then use this energy to strengthen oneself.
As for what this energy was, Shen Yan did not know.
He guessed that it might be oxygen, which was also a type of energy. If the oxygen content was high enough, it would have a huge impact on living things.
For example, during the charcoal period, the oxygen content of the earth's atmosphere was as high as 45%. At that time, all the creatures on earth were huge, and dragonflies could be one meter long.
Of course, this was only his personal guess and could not be confirmed.
In fact, this was not important. He was not doing scientific research. No matter what the energy was, as long as it was beneficial to him, it was enough.
After putting the Baopuzi Internal Scripture back on the bookshelf, Shen Yan took down another Daoist scripture.
There were requirements for Qi cultivation. One had to follow a fixed breathing rhythm and posture. The breathing rhythm was fine, but it was not easy to do it in a bookstore with a fixed posture.
Therefore, he was not in a hurry to practice Qi. Instead, he planned to level up his Qi practice skill first.
"Ding! [Discovered skill book, True Book of Morality. Do you want to learn it?]”
“……”
"Ding! [Skill Book: The True Book of Morality learned. Obtained 77 experience points.]”
"Ding! [Skill Book: Nanhua Sutra learned. Obtained 65 EXP.]”
"Ding! [Skill Book: Void Charging Scripture. Obtained 63 EXP.]”
The experience points from the Taoist scriptures were very high. Shen Yan's Qi cultivation skill leveled up after learning only three Taoist scriptures.
[Qi Refinement: Intermediate (5/1000)] You have already become a second-rate Qi Refinement Warrior. You have a higher understanding of Qi Refinement, and your Qi Refinement speed has also increased.
More memories and experiences flooded into his mind. Shen Yan pondered for a moment and then raised his eyebrows.
Not only did the Intermediate Qi Cultivation increase the speed of his Qi Cultivation, but the conditions for his Qi Cultivation had also changed. He no longer needed a fixed posture. As long as he maintained his body in a stationary state, he could cultivate Qi.
Shen Yan looked around. There were still not many customers in the bookstore. Religious books were very unpopular, and there was no one here. He was the only one.
He opened the Void Charging Scripture in his hand and pretended to be reading a book. Then, he calmed his heart and focused. He kept changing his breathing rhythm according to the memories in his mind.
"Huuu
The strange breathing rhythm made Shen Yan uncomfortable at first. His face turned red, but soon, he felt a warm current flowing from his mouth to his abdomen and then to his entire body.
