The night passed in a blink of an eye. Lin Yi got up early and came to the courtyard. After sitting there, the night passed in an instant. Lin Yi got up early and went to the courtyard after washing. He found a quiet place to sit down, and began to absorb the pure air of heaven and earth in the morning according to the breathing and breathing method taught to him by his master.
As his breathing adjusted, Lin Yi gradually entered a state of tranquility. He felt the flow of breath around him, guided it into his body, and then turned it into his own true energy after circulating around the sky.
However, after a while, Lin Yi suddenly felt that the energy in his body was exhausted again. He couldn't help but curse: "Damn it!"
He realized that the progress of cultivation was very slow, and the little bit of Qi he finally accumulated every time would be quickly exhausted. This situation made him feel frustrated and helpless.
"This practice is so strenuous. I am really the unluckiest person in the world." Lin Yi sighed secretly.
Despite this, he did not give up hope. He knew that practice required time and patience, and he had an important opportunity waiting for him in the back mountain - the mysterious old man.
Lin Yi decided to place all his expectations on the meeting with the old man from Houshan the day after tomorrow. He believed that this old man would be able to help him solve problems in his cultivation and provide him with guidance and support.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi cheered up again. He told himself to persevere and not give up easily. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will go all out and work hard to improve his strength. Absorb the breathing method at the door and absorb the pure air of heaven and earth in the morning.
After absorbing it for a while, the energy was gone again.
Damn it
In desperation, he could only end his practice, get up and go to his master's study, hoping to find some books that would be helpful to his practice. He flipped through the yellowed pages one by one, his eyes scanning every line, but he never found an answer to the current dilemma. Time passed by, and I read it all morning, but couldn't find what I needed.
With a hint of disappointment, he left the study and went to the kitchen to prepare lunch. After eating, he decided to go to the back mountain again to give the mysterious old man some wine and food.
"Bastard, let me tell you, you can't be in a hurry when practicing, you must calm down!" The old man said with a serious face: "Everyone's path of cultivation is different, and you can only find the one that suits you best. Methods can get twice the result with half the effort. Therefore, you must clearly understand your needs and what you want to pursue."
Hearing this, I couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Yes, for so long, I have always been eager to recover my cultivation. No matter what method I use, as long as I feel it will help my recovery, I can't wait to try it. But they neglected the most important point - what suits you is the best.
The old man continued: "Don't blindly pursue quantity and speed, but focus on quality.volume and depth. Even if you only know one skill, if you can learn it well and thoroughly, it will be enough for you to shine. "
I nodded to express my understanding. Indeed, if you just learn it in general, no matter how many skills you learn, it will be difficult to truly grasp the essence. It is better to concentrate on studying a skill and master it. Practice it to the extreme. In this way, you can not only improve your strength, but also achieve higher achievements in this field.
After this exchange with the old man, I deeply realized the limitations of my own existence. problem, and am determined to change my past practices. From now on, I will calm down, seriously think about my own cultivation path, and find the method that best suits me. At the same time, I must also pay attention to the quality and depth of learning and not be greedy for temporary gains. Instead, focus on improving your own strength.
Time flies! It’s time to go to the back mountain in a blink of an eye. I can’t help but start thinking: Do this. Is it correct?
Master, if you know this, I hope you will not blame me. I have made this decision now because I have no other choice. If the road is an abyss, I will jump down without hesitation; even if there is a devil waiting for me ahead, I will face it bravely.
I gently close the door of the other courtyard and face it bravely. I left a message on the door, just in case my senior sister Lan Lily came to see me and felt worried when she found out that I was not around.
I wrote the words "I'm going down the mountain to do some work and will be back in half a month" on the note, and then posted it in a conspicuous place on the door.
Now I'm waiting for the evening. , I sat quietly at the door of the courtyard, staring into the distance, waiting for the night to fall, the sun gradually sinking, and a faint blush appeared on the horizon when the last ray of light disappeared under the horizon. , the night finally came. I stood up, picked up a pot of wine and a roast chicken prepared for the old man, and walked towards the back mountain.
Along the way, I felt excited and nervous. I don’t know if I can really succeed tonight. I walked briskly and firmly with hope, and soon I came to the back mountain and stood at the door of the familiar cave. I looked inside carefully, only to find that it was dark inside. , as if endless darkness swallowed up everything.
"You bastard, what are you looking at!" Come in quickly! "Suddenly, an anxious voice came from the cave. I was startled, but immediately realized that it was the old man's voice. He seemed to be impatient, eager for this fate-changing moment to come.
"I got it, stop being so long-winded. I'm just looking. "I responded, trying to stay calm. Then, I walked into the cave carefully, holding the pot of wine and roast chicken tightly in my hands. The passage in the cave was very long and the light was dim. I could only rely on the faint moonlight to move forward. . Every step is filled with uncertainty, and I worry that it willStep on some danger or encounter something unexpected.
As we go deeper into the cave, the temperature gradually drops, and the cool breeze blows, making people feel the slightest chill. I couldn't help but shudder, and my heart became more and more uneasy. However, thinking about my own cultivation, I mustered up the courage to move on. Step by step, I walked down the steep steps. The stone steps under my feet were cold and slippery.
After turning two corners, a spacious hall appeared in front of him. Faint firelight flickered on the walls on both sides, illuminating the entire space.
Focusing on the high platform, you can see the mysterious old man being tied there. His hands and feet were bound by some glowing iron chains, making him unable to move.
The old man’s hair covered his face, making it difficult to see his true face.
"You bastard, what are you looking at? Stop looking!" The old man suddenly said: "This is the treasure of the Kunlun Mountains - the Qiankun Rope! This thing is powerful!" "It's very difficult to suppress my strength, leaving me no chance to escape."
After saying that, he didn't forget to reach out to me.
"Oh, here." I threw the prepared wine and roast chicken to him.
I saw the old man picking up the wine bottle, raising his head and taking a sip, and then began to chew the roast chicken with gusto.
"Hahahahahahaha... Good wine, good wine! Happy, happy!" The old man let out a burst of hearty laughter, which echoed throughout the hall.
After the old man had had enough wine and food, he was finally willing to look away from me and began to look at me carefully. At this time, I had already removed the secret techniques taught by my master and returned to my original appearance.
"You bastard, you are really handsome!" He said jokingly, "Compared to when I was young, it's not much different. Oh no, it's still worse. Then a little bit...hehehe." After saying that, he raised his head and let out a burst of hearty laughter, without caring about his image at all, he looked like an old naughty boy.
I couldn't help but roll my eyes when I heard his shameless words. I really don’t know where this guy comes from with so much confidence.
After the old man finished speaking, he came to me out of his body and looked me up and down. My little heart was so frightened that I was afraid that if something happened to me suddenly, I would really Barbie buttoned up.
"What are you trembling about? Looking at your potential, am I going to attack you now? I am very honest!" the old man said with his eyes wide open.
"Who...who is scared? I'm not scared. I'm just a little nervous." I said harshly, but my body was shaking uncontrollably.
"You are still making excuses. Seeing that you are trembling like that, you can only achieve so much." The old man said disdainfully.
“Fuck, can I notScared? This old man is so strong. Although he has the courage to come here, he is still a human being after all, not a god. If he says he is not afraid, he must be lying. "I muttered secretly in my heart.
"I'm not afraid of you. At worst, I will be a good man again in eighteen years! "I said through gritted teeth.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I finished speaking, the old man raised his hand and hit me hard on the forehead.
"Fuck me. Will he be a hero after eighteen years? I still haven’t understood it in this life, but I think it’s quite far-reaching! "The old man cursed.
I covered my head, held back the pain, and looked at the old man in surprise. This old man was able to leave his body and condense his body. How terrifying strength does this require?
p>"How do you want me to help you? There are two options before you now. The first option is for me to use my powerful internal strength to forcefully open your tendons and veins, thereby completely removing the remaining effects of the Huigong Pill from your body. However, this method has a drawback, that is, it will bring you serious sequelae, which means that from now on, your highest level of cultivation can only stop at the realm of transformation into gods, and you will not be able to make any breakthroughs. The second option is more extreme. I will abolish all your previous cultivation, including the exercises you have practiced, the moves you have mastered, and your unique skills, etc., so that you can start from scratch and start over. On the path of spiritual practice. So, now please think about it carefully, how should you choose? "
Listening to the old man's words, I couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion in my heart. Every word he said kept echoing in my mind, and my thoughts gradually became immersed in it.
If you choose the first One way, I will immediately restore my cultivation, which means that I can quickly return to my previous peak state, and can better protect myself, help my master and senior brother, and participate in the upcoming journey to the ancient ruins. However, this choice. It also means that I may never be able to break through to a higher realm, and I will be trapped in the shackles of the realm of transformation for the rest of my life.
The second method is completely different, although I will lose everything in the past. However, with my own talent, I firmly believe that I will be able to rise again, and the speed will not be slower than before. As long as I am given enough time, I believe that I will be able to surpass myself.
However, time is my biggest enemy. I can't wait to find my master and senior brother. They are in trouble and need my help. The second method requires a lot of time to practice again. , This makes me feel extremely anxious.
Old man, I have decided!
I choose the first method!
You really are. Have you thought about it? Once you choose the first option, your future cultivation path will be greatly limited, and it can even be said to be ruined. You are a rare cultivation wizard! Are you going to give up like this?
Well, old man, I think clearly. Please start, I'm ready.Ready.
In that case, well... I hope you won't regret today's decision in the future.
Suddenly, the mysterious old man began to condense into an entity, and then appeared in front of me at an alarming speed! I was startled by this sudden turn of events, but before I had time to react, he quickly used a powerful burst of Qi and accurately targeted my acupuncture points.
Suddenly, I felt unable to move my whole body, as if being restrained by an invisible force. Immediately afterwards, following the real fluctuations emanating from the old man, my body involuntarily floated into the air. This bizarre experience left me feeling frightened and confused, with no idea what was going to happen next.
However, at this moment, I suddenly lost consciousness and fell into darkness. No matter how hard I tried to remember, I couldn't recall anything that happened after that. Everything seemed blurry, like it was shrouded in a fog.
This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.
When I woke up again, I found myself lying on the ground. I rubbed my eyes, trying to recall the previous experience, but the memories in my mind were like broken puzzle pieces that were difficult to piece together.
At this moment, I suddenly heard the old man say: "You bastard, I'm sorry, I haven't moved my body for a long time. I accidentally destroyed all your cultivation just now. I made a mistake. . I used the second method."
When I heard the old man say this, I instantly felt like "fuck you". What a joke!
How can I help my master and brothers if I don’t have any cultivation skills? Fuck me. I'm really speechless. How can such a thing be done wrong?
Old man, are you fucking trying to trick me? Without my cultivation, wouldn’t I become a useless person now? If you ask me to practice again, then I have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse to restore my cultivation? I really admire you!
"Young people, don't talk like this (irritable), it's so rude!" The old man seemed to be dissatisfied with this title, but he continued: "At least I have gone through so much trouble to help you, Even if there is no credit, there must be hard work!"
Lin Yi was speechless. This old man would really put a lot of money on his face! But he didn't want to argue with the other person, after all, he did save his life. So he asked: "Then what should I do next?"
The old man's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he patted his chest and said: "Bastard, oh, no, this handsome, charming and suave man Handsome young man, now that things have come to this, you should think about how to practice next." As he said that, he showed a confident expression: "I promise to get you back to the top within a year, what do you think? "
Lin Yi frowned. Although one year is not long, it is very precious to him now. He needs to regain his strength as soon as possible before he can seek revenge on those who have betrayed him. Thinking of this, he bitGritting his teeth, he said: "No! It's too slow!"
The old man was startled and waved his hands quickly: "Don't get excited, I'm just talking. If you are willing to practice hard, I should be able to return to my peak state within half a year."
Lin Yi felt happy after hearing this, but he still nodded calmly: "Well, thank you, senior." After that, he remembered again. As if something, he added: "But I have one more request. If senior can agree to it, I am willing to pay any price!"
Seeing that Lin Xiao was so serious, the old man couldn't help but become curious and asked : "Oh? What's the request? Let's hear it!"
"Old man! Is there any quick way to improve my cultivation? If I continue to practice like this, it will take years and years. Can I achieve something? I still have a lot to do!" I said anxiously.
The old man touched his chin and replied thoughtfully: "Well... let me think about it." He fell into deep thought.
"Damn it, I really owe you!" The old man stared and said reluctantly: "There is a way, but... I can't bear it!"
"Damn it, you bragging old man, do you have a word of truth? If it does, it will, and if it doesn't, it won't!" I shouted loudly, feeling very excited.
The old man jumped up in anger, pointed at the young man and cursed: "You damn you, you bastard, I saved you, and this is what you did to me? You're killing the donkey." ! Don’t you know how to respect your elders?”
The two of them had a heated argument and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
Both of them were tired of arguing and stopped talking to each other.
It was quiet for a while.
The old man said.
I really fucking owe you, come here quickly, you bastard,
Who the hell are you calling a bastard, I said angrily.
Come quickly, come to me.
Seeing that the old man seemed serious, I timidly came to the old man's real body.
The old man’s true energy fluctuated outward, causing me to fly up and land on top of the old man’s head. I felt a huge amount of true energy, like a river—a huge amount of true energy flowing through me like a waterfall. body.
After a while, the old man shouted, broke away from the old man, flew out and hit the wall.
"You bragging old man, can you be gentler, why are you so violent?"
"Stop being so arrogant, look inside yourself and see what's different about you. "
After hearing what the old man said, Lin Yi quickly looked inside his Dantian and saw a huge flow of true energy in his Dantian, like the Yellow River. Lin Yi looked at the old man in surprise.
Now I can see the old man’s face clearly. Although he has been locked up here for so long, it is undeniable thatThe old man is indeed handsome, and he is not bragging.
Lin Yi looked at the old man and his face was as pale as a piece of white paper.
"You bastard, I passed on half of the energy I have cultivated for a hundred years to you. Now do you feel that your body is full of power?"
"You are running really well." Try hitting a palm with Qi, I heard the old man say this."
Lin Yi was busy using his Qi and slapped the rock in the distance. There was a loud noise, and the rock immediately turned into powder. Like fireworks, let me go, so overbearing?
I looked at the old man in surprise
In order to make up for my mistake, the bastard gave you half of my 100 years of vitality. Isn’t it interesting this time? Damn it, Are you still scolding me?
Stop scolding, stop scolding, old man, it’s best for you, no. You are not that old. Brother, thank you, brother, you are the most handsome.
The old man smiled slightly and shook his head: "No more scolding, that's enough. Now you are good enough. But I am exhausted."
Old man, give me your inner strength. , it won’t have any impact on you, right?
What do you think? Bastard, if I give you half my true energy, that’s it. I gained my skills back 50 years ago.
Forget it, I’ll give it to you. Otherwise, I won’t be able to use it if I stay here. It’s also a cruel creature and I can’t get out. For me, the true energy is in this cave. There is no use for it.
You should be anxious now, don’t be impatient, and stabilize the Qi I passed on to you. When the Qi is completely stabilized, I will teach you the exercises. What your master taught you before were all low-level techniques.
For you who have half of my true energy, practicing those low-level skills will really waste my true energy.
With half of my Qi, if you practice the skills and improve your realm in the future, coupled with your own talent, you will be like a tiger with even more wings, making a thousand miles a day and getting twice the result with half the effort.
Thank you to the old man for his kindness. After playing and having fun, Lin Yi knelt on the ground and gave the old man a big salute.
Don’t ruin my fucking life, and you don’t have to thank me. Don’t forget the deal between us. You just have to rescue me when the time is right.
How can I save you, old man?
Now is not the time, wait until you improve your strength.
What level do I need to reach to save you?
You must at least raise your cultivation level to the foundation building level within three months, to golden elixir level in half a year, and to Nascent Soul level in one year, and then I will tell you how to save me.
Aren’t you going to the ancient ruins in a month? First upgrade to the Qi Training Mirror. There are ten levels in total. Upgrade to this level first and then we will talk about it.
And with your current Qi, if you compete in a single Qi duel, you can face Yuanying. Although you can't repel it, the opponent can't repel you either.
Is it so awesome? Old man?
That means that in terms of internal strength alone, my Nascent Soul and below are invincible?
Of course, you don’t even look at who passed it on to you. I cultivated it bit by bit. Is it comparable to what was improved by medicine?
Oh, oh. Got it, old man.
Then I...
