Chapter 4: True Element

Overnight, he changed from an ignorant teenager to a cultivator who had just glimpsed the door, and Li Jun felt like he was in a dream.

But the abundant qi and surging energy in his body all told him that all this was true.

Especially when he silently used the Kun Yuan Mental Method, he could clearly feel a trace of breath penetrating into the body through the skin, and then converged along the meridians to the dantian in the lower abdomen.

This is the real yuan!

It was precisely because of the cultivation of the True Yuan that Li Jun was able to move more than 30 tons of bricks in more than two hours, and he was able to smash the bricks with one foot at will.

When he took the 1,000 yuan from He Wei and then led the workers to eat at the breakfast restaurant, he felt like a chivalrous man robbing the rich and helping the poor, and a heroic spirit arose in his heart.

With excitement and longing, he stayed up all day, and finally waited for the end of work, Li Jun found a secluded corner, took out a round ball from his pocket, knocked it lightly three times, and communicated with the old immortal with his divine sense.

"This true yuan is really amazing!"

The old fairy scoffed: "Superficial." ”

"It's only been one night of cultivation, and I feel that I not only have more strength, but also more flexibility, and even my spirit is much better. ”

"True Yuan is originally the convergence of Yuan Jing, Yuan Qi, and Yuan Shen, through the cultivation of exercises, and the spiritual crystal is nourished, the more essence it is, the more significant the improvement of the physique will be. As the old saying goes: 'The true element is immortal, and the physical body is immortal'. Therefore, for cultivating the truth, in the abstract, it is to practice and seek the truth, and concretely, it is actually to refine the true element, so as to achieve positive results. ”

Li Jun was leisurely fascinated: "So in the end, you can really live forever and soar to become an immortal?"

"You haven't even touched the threshold of the foundation building period, so you are thinking about the Mahayana ascension?"

Li Jun shook off a movie line: "If you don't have a dream, what's the difference between being a man and a salted fish?"

"If you can only be delusional, what is the difference between being a toad and a toad?" the old immortal teased Li Jun before continuing, "Yesterday, the deity has already said that before building a foundation, you must first forge your body and refine your qi. Forging the body starts from the martial arts, through cutting the hair and changing the tendons, forging the tendons, flesh and skin, and refining the qi is from the technique, through the washing of the marrow, and the refining of the essence, qi and spirit. ”

Li Jun nodded, silently remembering.

"Now you start with martial arts, through cutting hair and tendons, first, to improve your physique, second, you can protect yourself, and third, compared to magic, practicing martial arts is more acceptable to people in today's world, and will not be regarded as a heretical monster, which is more convenient for you to hide your identity. ”

Li Jun asked in his mind: "I watch those martial arts masters on TV who will split bricks with their bare hands, break boulders on their chests or something, so I can be regarded as a master if I step on broken bricks now, right?"

"According to the general rules of the current martial arts world, martial arts is a 'warrior', cutting hair is a 'master', and Yi Jin is a 'master'. You're just a martial artist in terms of physique, so how can you be considered a master?"

"Then Chenghu, Li Lianying, and Jia Zidan are considered masters, right?" Li Jun reported the names of several martial arts stars.

The old fairy was disdainful: "Those are all fake tricks with fists and embroidered legs, in modern terms, they are just entertainment and performances, and they are far from real masters." ”

"So who's the real master?"

The old immortal snorted coldly: "Master, the deity will be interested in knowing that?"

Li Jun couldn't help but be surprised.

During the day, Li Jun also speculated about the Tao of the old immortal, although the old immortal did not specifically explain what the situation of each realm was, but since he claimed to be an immortal and a deity, and he could not worship him as a teacher until the Jindan period, then he was at least in the Yuan infant stage.

Compared with the martial arts masters who have not even entered the threshold of the foundation building period, there are several levels of Jindan, Creation, Concentration, and Foundation Building, which is simply the gap between doctors and elementary school students.

What Ph.D. would pay attention to who are the top three grades of primary school students?

"The land of China, outstanding people, once upon a time, the atmosphere of the two worlds of martial arts and magic can be said to have their own merits, each leading the way, thousands of years later, there are many talents, among which there is no lack of geniuses who cross the wrong path and go straight to the true immortals. ”

The old immortal paused for a moment before continuing:

"However, since the advent of firearms and the entry of human society into the age of science and technology, the two worlds of martial arts and magic have begun to wither away day by day. Most people in the world are anxious for quick success, just imagine, a bullet can overturn a master, a cannonball can blow up a master, and who else is willing to spend decades of water grinding to forge the body and refine qi?"

Li Jun held up his glasses, thoughtful.

It seems that neither a master nor a master can withstand the attack of modern weapons.

"However, whether it is guns or aircraft, tanks, after all, they are all foreign objects, and they will eventually get out of control, how can they be like Zhenyuan, they are completely part of you, and you can do whatever you want and wield freely. Not to mention that in the long run, once you have achieved cultivation, you can prolong your life, even if you can't live forever. Therefore, the world's vision is so short-sighted. ”

Li Jun nodded, thinking deeply.

"From a certain point of view, the development of technology is actually hindering the evolution of human beings. With bicycles and cars, there are fewer and fewer people who walk and run, after computers they use less and less pen and paper to write, and after they have mobile phones, there are fewer and fewer people who go out, meet each other, and even talk. Human beings are overly dependent on science and technology, not to mention cultivating into true immortals, it would be good if they could not degenerate. ”

The old immortal sighed before continuing:

"It's a bit far, now let's go back to martial arts. Over the past hundred years, although martial arts have been less popular, there are still people who are persistent in seeking it. In the past fifty years, the recognized powerhouse in the Chinese martial arts world is none other than the 'Southern Sword Saint and the Northern God of War'. It is precisely because of these two martial arts giants, one in the south and the other in the north, that those dark forces abroad dare not touch the fertile soil of China. ”

"Southern Sword Saint...... God of War ......"

Hearing these names that only existed in novels and movies in the past, Li Jun realized how limited his vision was, in this peaceful and prosperous era where civilization is thriving and technology is developed, there are also people who are inheriting martial arts that seem to have been eliminated by the times.

"The martial arts powerhouses that have risen in recent years are Yan Liqun and Ren Resentment as the leaders. The former is known as 'martial idiot', obsessed with martial arts, traveling all over the world, and his whereabouts are uncertain. The latter is from the Nishikawa Ren family, a martial arts family, who was expelled from his home for killing Taisheng and fled overseas, and his whereabouts are unknown. ”

Li Jun asked, "Then what realm are they?"

"Yan and Ren have both been cut down five years ago, and the forging is complete, according to the current statement, they should have reached the peak of the realm, and they are called 'grandmasters'. ”

"Is the Grandmaster powerful?"

"After the forging is complete, you can cultivate the internal force and release it externally, and deal with ordinary martial artists, that is, the dramas you mentioned before, it should not be a problem to fight a hundred or so, and you can barely withstand the blow of ordinary firearms. ”

Li Jun couldn't help but be speechless.

With one enemy and one hundred, not afraid of guns and bullets, this grandmaster's ability is already unbelievable to ordinary people, but in the eyes of the old immortal, it seems to be worthless.

He thought, "How many Taos does this old immortal have?"

"You don't have to speculate on the strength of the deity. You just need to know that even if the grandmaster has reached the peak, he is still a human after all, but the deity is an immortal. The deity looks at the grandmaster, just like you look at a monkey, but compared to ordinary monkeys, they have more strength, faster movements, and thicker skin. ”

Li Jun took the opportunity to ask: "Then how long will it take for my little monkey to evolve to be stronger, move faster, and have thicker skin?"

After all, every time his cultivation progressed, he would be one step closer to the condensation period, and he would be able to refine the pill to save his father earlier.

"Judging from your root bones and the quality of the spirit crystals here, it will take at least more than a month to cut down the hair. ”

Li Jun couldn't help but be gloomy.

He had thought that he would be able to achieve real success soon after his physique improved, his strength increased, and his movements accelerated overnight, but now it seems that the reality is far from as optimistic as he imagined.

"The path of cultivating the truth is originally the most arduous and dangerous, if it is as easy and simple as you think, wouldn't it be full of immortals flying all over the sky now? Don't forget, it took twenty or thirty million years to evolve from a monkey to a human, how can it be possible to reach the sky in one step?"

Sensing Li Jun's low mood, the old immortal changed his words: "There is a deity to guide you, as long as you cultivate diligently and work hard, you are still expected to achieve positive results." ”

Li Jun nodded, he knew that if there was no old immortal appearing, he wouldn't even be able to pass the level of moving bricks today. Although the path of cultivation was not as easy as he imagined, at least he could see the hope of saving his father, and even if it was difficult and hard, he would go all out to break through.

"Ordinary people practice martial arts, and it takes a few years to become a martial artist, but now you can enter this realm overnight, and you are not satisfied?"

Li Jun clenched his fists: "I still want to be faster!"

He could afford to wait, but his father might not be able to wait.

The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, and the child wants to raise but does not wait!

Even if one day he can cultivate to become a true immortal, if he can't save his father in the present, what is the point?

"Either you can find a place where the spirit crystal is more abundant than here, but according to the detection of the deity, it is all the same thin within a radius of twenty miles, or you can find the spirit liquid, spirit fruit or spirit pill, but even if you find it, with your current cultivation, it will be difficult to absorb the essence in it. ”

"So, all I can do now is continue to cultivate like I did yesterday?"

"The way of cultivating the truth, the most taboo is to be in a hurry, greedy for merit, only steady and steady, step by step, can achieve positive results. If you are uncertain and galloping, you will only make mistakes and go crazy in the end, let alone save your father, and even your own life will not be saved!"

Li Jun was silent. He knew that what the old immortal said was indeed the truth.

There is no shortcut to the sky.

Haste makes waste.

To save my father, I can only move forward one step at a time.

Li Jun shouted in his heart:

"Dad, if you hold on, your son will definitely save you!"
