On the Internal Force in Jin Yong's novels

In novels, healing someone's internal energy would be consumed, or it would be sucked away by the Northern Dark Divine Art, Star Sucking Technique, etc. However, in many Wuxia games, internal energy became a MP setting. Using martial arts would consume internal energy, and taking medicine could restore internal energy. What was going on?

Answer 1

In Jin Yong's novels, internal energy was a very important concept. Internal energy referred to the fact that a character's martial arts cultivation and physical potential could be improved by practicing martial arts and internal energy. The higher one's internal energy, the better one's martial arts skills would be.

In Jin Yong's novels, there were many characters who possessed internal strength. Some people had obtained powerful internal strength through long periods of practice, such as Guo Jing, Huang Rong, and Ling Huchong. Some people obtained powerful internal strength through special experiences or mysterious methods, such as Duan Yu, Xu Zhu, Murong Fu, etc.

Internal strength could be improved through different methods, such as practicing martial arts, alchemy, practicing internal strength, and so on. In the process of practicing martial arts, one needed to pay attention to the cultivation of techniques and internal energy. Only in this way could one improve their internal energy. At the same time, his internal strength needed to be trained and improved continuously.
