Chapter 20, Comparison and Settlement

Chen Zhiyuan dared to compare with others, of course, it was not a temporary IQ offline, he dared to propose this competition, and he naturally had a certain degree of certainty.

As a novice cultivator, according to the definition given to him by the old student, he is now just a beginner in the Qi cultivation period, what should a monk in the Qi cultivation period do? Of course, it is Qi training, trying to increase the total amount of spiritual power in his body, and strive to build a foundation as soon as possible.

Chen Zhiyuan's practice is the "Qi Eating Method", in addition to absorbing spiritual energy from the surrounding environment when he is cultivating, he can also absorb spiritual power from the food he eats, of course, there are very few of them, otherwise Lao Sheng would not have taught him so easily at that time.

In addition to increasing the total amount of spiritual power in the body, another important point is to increase the strength of the body. Not to mention the dead Jin Dan, it feels no different from a stone, and the corpse has not changed at all for three years after his death, so he said that the old student who taught Chen Zhiyuan the qi eating method is obviously a person who is about to enter the ground, and he can carry Chen Zhiyuan on his back on the rugged mountain, and he is only in the foundation building period.

Now Chen Zhiyuan is in terms of cultivation, and his spiritual power can only be cultivated by running exercises, and what he gets from food may not be much, and what he eats is things that do not contain spiritual power, so he can absorb spiritual power?

And the most important point, Chen Zhiyuan's resilience is strong, ordinary people have no spiritual power to nourish their muscles, they are tired when they are tired, and they have to rest and adjust when their muscles are sore, you may say that you work hard today and rest for a day tomorrow, but others don't think so. Even if you lose today, it is just a loss of a copper leaf, and if you continue to work tomorrow, you will have it again, if you work hard today to win a copper leaf, and tomorrow you will rest for a whole day, then you will lose more than a copper leaf.

Although Chen Zhiyuan is slow, he is not too slow, when others come and go on average for five laps, Chen Zhiyuan has already walked four laps, and the worst one is actually about the same as Chen Zhiyuan. But everyone walked fast at the beginning, and then it got slower and slower at the end.

Everyone started working in the morning, and when it was time to break at noon, the fastest one had already walked thirty-two laps, six laps faster than Chen Zhiyuan, but by the time he got to the back, he was already panting while walking, and he had to stop after walking a few steps, and everyone was about the same.

Half of the time has passed, and Chen Zhiyuan has moved not the least, nor the most, but judging from his complexion, Chen Zhiyuan is in a better situation than most people, which makes Chen Zhiyuan win everyone's respect.

Chen Zhiyuan had just finished lunch, still kneeling and adjusting his breathing, at this time a man walked towards Chen Zhiyuan with a bowl of water, Chen Zhiyuan looked up and saw that it was the person who moved the most, Chen Zhiyuan remembered his name, it seemed to be Liu Qiang.

Liu Qiang walked towards Chen Zhiyuan while dripping sweat, directly stuffed the bowl in his hand into Chen Zhiyuan's hand, and said: "Drink, it's Lao Tzu who underestimates you, I didn't expect you to be so capable at such an age as my son, dry this bowl of boiling water, in the future, I Liu Qiang will recognize you as a brother, and I will cover you on this construction site!"

Seeing that the expression on Liu Qiang's face did not seem to be fake, Chen Zhiyuan picked up the bowl and gestured, and drank it all.

"Haha, good! worthy of my fancy brother, bold!" Liu Qiang slapped Chen Zhiyuan on the shoulder, and laughed with Chen Zhiyuan on his head.

"I'll teach you a little trick. Liu Qiang glared at the other people who wanted to lean over, and whispered: "Now take advantage of the rest time, don't sit for too long, if you have time, pat your thighs and calves hard, and only when you will move again will you have the strength to move things, otherwise you will be in pain at that time." ”

After speaking, Liu Qiang began to slap his calves vigorously, as if he was demonstrating to Chen Zhiyuan.

Chen Zhiyuan thought about it, and saw that the other people around him who had finished eating were already slapping their legs, so Chen Zhiyuan also began to slap.

In fact, it's okay if Chen Zhiyuan doesn't shoot, as long as he wraps his spiritual power in his thighs and calves, and he did the same when Chen Zhiyuan moved the stone slab this morning. It doesn't matter if you have less spiritual power, as long as you have a little bit of it, it's much better than no result.

But everyone does this, and Chen Zhiyuan doesn't want to be an outlier, of course, he also slaps with everyone. Not to mention, it was really effective, at least Chen Zhiyuan could feel the tense muscles slowly relaxing with the beating.

About an hour has passed, everyone has eaten and rested, and just missed the time when the sun is the sunniest at noon, Chen Zhiyuan also took a special look at Brother Baozi, and found that Brother Baozi had also eaten, so he came back with peace of mind to continue.

In the afternoon, everyone's speed was much slower than in the morning, Chen Zhiyuan obviously felt that after resting for a period of time, he went to move the slate, his legs were like being filled with lead, and he had to pay more effort for every step, not to mention that his feeling was always half a beat slower, and he almost fell down a few times in the middle of a trip, and everyone was frightened, but fortunately nothing happened.

After walking a few laps, the body slowly adapted again, and it was much easier to move the slate at this time than at the beginning.

However, in the afternoon, Chen Zhiyuan's advantages as a cultivator were reflected. Others are getting more and more tired, although Chen Zhiyuan is also tired, but he has somewhat recovered, and every time he feels exhausted, there is always a new force born.

Slowly, Chen Zhiyuan began to overtake, three hundred meters is not far, but when the people who are traveling with you are crawling, you are walking at a slightly slower than normal speed, it seems that you are very fast.

first slowly caught up with the previous one, then overtaken, then caught up with the earlier one, and then overtaken, the gap between Chen Zhiyuan and others began to slowly become smaller, and the number of stone slabs removed also caught up little by little.

Seventeen, twenty, twenty-three, twenty-four, when Chen Zhiyuan successfully moved the twenty-fifth stone slab to the designated place, the gong of the construction site finally sounded, Chen Zhiyuan couldn't hold on anymore, and just lay on the ground panting hard.

The others are about the same, of course, the others here refer to the people who persevered with Chen Zhiyuan until the last moment, and there were eleven people who gave up when they moved to the forty stone slabs. They usually move more than 30 yuan a day, but today it is not bad to move to 40.

There are twelve people who have been insisting on it, including Chen Zhiyuan, and the final results of the foreman's statistics have also come out, Chen Zhiyuan moved fifty-one bluestone slabs, ranking fourth, and the first place is still Liu Qiang, with sixty-two bluestone slabs.

In the end, of course, it was a happy money link, in addition to the twenty-five copper leaves that Chen Zhiyuan deserved for the fifty-one bricks he moved today, and the six copper leaves that the two of them had dinner were deducted, there were nineteen pieces in hand. However, among the nineteen pieces, Chen Zhiyuan still had to take out three pieces to the three people who moved more than him, but the copper leaves he won were twenty pieces.

came and went, Chen Zhiyuan earned a net of thirty-nine copper leaves one day, which made Chen Zhiyuan sigh, sure enough, the money in the big place came quickly, if he was moving bricks in Qingshui Town, it was estimated that the money in hand would have to shrink by half.

This is the first money he earned in Nanfeng City, and he didn't count begging for alms from others before, and Chen Zhiyuan also looked down on himself for relying on other people's alms to make money, so with the first money, he naturally had to eat a good meal.

I don't have a lot of money, but I can still buy some that I usually can't bear to buy, so I ordered myself a big bowl of noodles, the kind with meat and eggs, and then two cages of meat buns for Brother Baozi. It's also strange to say that Brother Baozi doesn't eat anything but buns, or rather, Brother Baozi doesn't eat anything except stuffed in buns. Chen Zhiyuan had no choice but to try to find some stuffed buns for Brother Baozi, or when he bought something to eat and wanted to share it with Brother Baozi, he would stuff it into the buns and then give it to Brother Baozi.

I ate a meal of noodles beautifully, and then went to buy a soy milk and brought it back to drink in the evening, and the day was over.

Of course, this end is for others, and Chen Zhiyuan still has to cultivate at this time.

After eating, he runs the "Food Qi Method", Chen Zhiyuan has been doing this recently, although he knows that he can't absorb any spiritual power from food, but Chen Zhiyuan doesn't mind, just take it as a habit, otherwise what if he eats something with spiritual power and forgets to absorb it?

After a few laps of spiritual power, Chen Zhiyuan felt a little sleepy, so he stopped. It's not time to sleep yet, he still has to use his spiritual power to nourish his body, and he will do it again tomorrow.

Chen Zhiyuan can feel that moving stones and bricks today is tiring, but the effect on physical exercise is still very obvious. When he was exhausted, Chen Zhiyuan felt that a new force was injected into his body, it was not fake, it was indeed the power of his own strength that was reborn after the limit. If it were an ordinary person, this power would generally not appear, and if it did, it would not be retained, but this concept does not hold true in cultivators.

A cultivator's body is like a tree, growing every moment, and effective training will accelerate this growth. This is not the case with the body of ordinary people, who are like water on the sand and stones, which will overflow if they are injected more at a time, and will continue to be lost even if they are added slowly.

Just like what Chen Zhiyuan feels now, although his physical fitness seems to be far inferior to Liu Qiang, if he really compares it, it is estimated that the difference is not too far now.

Feeling the spiritual power flowing through every inch of muscles, and constantly witnessing himself getting stronger little by little, this feeling is undoubtedly very wonderful, at least, Chen Zhiyuan is now enjoying the feeling of becoming stronger visible to the naked eye.

Seeing his rapid recovery, a new idea popped up in Chen Zhiyuan's mind, it is better to compare it again tomorrow, Chen Zhiyuan doesn't believe that everyone has their own recovery speed, and the personality compared with himself every day will definitely not be yesterday, after all, there are so many people on the construction site.

As soon as he thought of getting another sum tomorrow, Chen Zhiyuan couldn't help laughing, and then a meat bun was stuffed into his mouth.

"Eat, buns!"
