"However, since it is a shortcut, there will be disadvantages. Because of premature contact with true qi and premature shift of focus to the use of true qi, the application of strength and understanding of body structure will be far inferior to those of us who follow the orthodox path. Therefore, if two people of the same level fight, the one who follows the orthodox path will be stronger."
After understanding the subsequent stages, Li Boyang told Huang Feihong that he had already mastered bone refining and could begin the stage of nourishing the five internal organs, but he did not know how to nourish the five internal organs.
"The five internal organs of the human body are the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys. After the bone tempering is completed, we have actually reached the limit of our exploration of human potential. If we want to become stronger, we can only strengthen the five internal organs, that is, enhance our potential."
"Among the five internal organs, when the resources of each organ are pushed to their limit, the body's potential and ability will be enhanced. This is one of the reasons why a master of Hua Jin is much more powerful than a master of An Jin. It is not only a difference in realm, but also a difference in physique."
In terms of martial arts knowledge, Li Boyang was indeed still a novice. Fortunately, he was lucky to have both the fat man at the boxing gym and Huang Feihong as very qualified teachers.
"To nourish the five internal organs and enhance potential, conventional training methods are no longer suitable. The five internal organs are very fragile. If you use your own strength to attack them, you may not only fail to get nourished, but you will also die first."
"To nourish the five internal organs, one must practice breathing exercises."
"Our Baozhilin's secret breathing and exhalation method comes from Taoism and is called the Small Heavenly Circuit Qi Circulation Method."
"To nourish the five internal organs, one must rely on the power of breathing; this is the principle behind the Taoist practice of 'gathering qi'."
"Breathing through the mouth and nose alone has too little impact on the internal organs. Controlling the pores of the whole body to breathe in accordance with the body's movements according to a certain rhythm is the Small Heavenly Circuit Qi Circulation Method."
Suddenly, Wong Fei-hung rolled up his sleeves and took a deep breath. As he inhaled, all the pores on his body closed, and as he exhaled, they opened. A mist rose from his body with each breath, which was the sweat from his intense exertion.
"Between breaths, three long and one short, each time circulating the Qi in accordance with the number thirty-six of the Small Heavenly Circuit, will harm the body if it is excessive."
We live in an era of declining martial arts. Huang himself has only just finished nourishing his liver and lungs and is already considered a top-tier expert. In today's world, there are practically no martial artists who have reached the Qi Refining Realm.
Huang Feihong's words opened up a new world for Li Boyang's future path, and at the same time made him realize his biggest weakness: his understanding of martial arts was too poor. One of the most obvious problems was that his accumulation of martial arts knowledge was seriously insufficient.
He had realized that if he didn't make changes, even if he mastered the "Transformation of Intensity" technique, he wouldn't become a martial arts master, let alone a grandmaster.
The terms "martial arts master" and "grandmaster" do not refer to a level of skill or achievement, but rather to a title of respect.
A martial arts master not only possesses profound martial arts knowledge, but also has a complete mastery of what he has learned. Furthermore, he has a broad understanding of other martial arts, has his own unique perspective on martial arts, and has begun to explore his own unique path in martial arts.
A martial arts master is someone who can turn the ordinary into the extraordinary, someone who has already progressed on their own unique path.
Huang Feihong can be called a master of martial arts. He has integrated his own martial arts and has taken a further step to explore a path that is unique to him.
Although he knew his shortcomings, Li Boyang was not discouraged. Now that he knew his deficiencies, he would catch up with them.

Chapter 16 Iron Shirt Yan Zhendong
A few days later, a horse-drawn carriage left Foshan City.
The person in the carriage was none other than Aunt Thirteen, and the coachman was Li Boyang, who was on his way to Guangzhou to visit William Chardon.
Besides Aunt Thirteen and Li Boyang, a group of militia brothers also went to Guangzhou. These militia brothers were sent by Huang Feihong to protect the two of them.
According to Li Boyang, he didn't need any protection. He was already a master of bone refining, and could easily take on 30 ordinary people. If something unexpected happened on his trip to Guangzhou to meet Chadun William, these militia brothers wouldn't be able to protect him; instead, he would have to protect them.
Guangzhou is not far from Foshan, only 50 li away. If all goes well, you can leave in the early morning and arrive in the evening.
“Thirteenth Aunt, why didn’t you stay at Po Chi Lam? Why did you come to Guangzhou with me to join in the fun?”
Li Boyang cracked his whip twice, clearly disapproving of Thirteen Aunt's companion. He was going to Guangzhou on official business, and having such a burden along might cause some trouble.
"What, you don't want to take me to Guangzhou to relax? If it weren't for your master being such a blockhead, I wouldn't want to come out at all."
Aunt Thirteen lifted the carriage curtain, pouting her little lips with a reluctant expression.
Li Boyang could only smile wryly. He had originally planned to go to Guangzhou alone, but Huang Feihong couldn't stand being pestered by Aunt Thirteen so much that he decided to have her come with him to Guangzhou to relax.
The saying goes, "When the master is in trouble, the disciple should do his work." Li Boyang couldn't find an excuse to refuse this matter. Looking at Huang Feihong's murderous eyes, it was clear that he would suffer if he disagreed.
"Did Master make you angry again?"
The mention of Wong Fei-hung made Aunt Thirteen look quite depressed. She pouted and said, "Boyang, do you think I'm pretty or not?"
Honestly, Aunt Thirteen is a beauty, with perfect features and figure. Li Boyang naturally wouldn't go against his conscience and honestly said, "Everyone knows that Aunt Thirteen is a famous beauty in Foshan."
"You think I'm pretty too, right?" Aunt Thirteen bit her lip, tearing at the carriage curtain with her hands, and cursed, "It's a pity your master is an idiot, he's just so stubborn."
Li Boyang chuckled softly: "Master isn't stupid, you're the stupid one."
"What? You dare call me stupid?" Aunt Thirteen, like a cat with its fur standing on end, bared her teeth and claws at Li Boyang.
“Master is a very conservative person. He values rules above all else. You know that, right?” Li Boyang teased Thirteen Aunt. “If you ask me, you should change your target. Look at me. I’m no worse than Master.”
Thirteen Aunt instinctively said, "You're far inferior to Fei Hong."
He paused for a moment before realizing what he meant: "Fine, you dare to joke with me? I'll beat you to death."
Amidst their playful banter, time slipped away unnoticed, and soon it was dark, and the carriage entered Guangzhou.
Guangzhou in the late Qing Dynasty was indeed one of the world's trading capitals, and it was very lively. As soon as you entered the city, you could see vendors on both sides of the street bustling about, and the loud shouts of vendors were endless. There were also many vendors coming and going, and the number of foreigners was far greater than that of Foshan.
"We need to shift the focus of the militia to Guangzhou."
Li Boyang made his decision after observing silently along the way.
After finding an inn to settle down, Li Boyang did not go to see Chadun William immediately. It was already late, and going now would not be proper. He would wait until the next morning.
"Guangzhou is so lively! Boyang, let's hurry up and go check out the night market."
Although he was not very willing, Li Boyang had no choice but to act as the bag carrier and payer under the strong dragging and pulling of Aunt Thirteen.
The saying that shopping is a woman's nature is indeed true. Aunt Thirteen would never miss any store that sells clothes or other items. Even if she didn't buy anything, she would still go in and take a look. Before long, Li Boyang was carrying bags and bags of things.
