Chapter 16: Breakthrough

Dididi!

The sound of an electronic alarm clock sounded, causing Zhou Chen, who was cultivating, to open his eyes. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

He stretched out one hand and turned off the sound of the electronic alarm clock, then stood up, walked to a coal stove, sniffed at the medicine jar burning on it, and nodded slightly: "It's almost good." ”

Zhou Chen extinguished the fire, took a towel, wrapped the handle of the medicine jar, removed it from the stove, and put it on the table.

Because it was too hot to take it, Zhou Chen lifted the lid of the medicine jar and waited for it to cool for a few minutes before drinking.

"This is the last time I have refilled. ”

Zhou Chen looked at this valuable pot of medicine and shook his head slightly.

He was 19 years old. In the three and a half years since he crossed over, he has almost been practicing exercises, exercising, and fishing. In addition, it is to buy medicine to replenish the body.

This made him grow taller, and now he has reached 1.79 meters, which is a little short of 1.80 meters, but he can't grow anymore. Zhou Chen is also quite satisfied with this. Because it's not tall, but it's not short either.

The main reason is that the foundation left by Li Hai to Zhou Chen is too poor, and he was bullied not only because he was helpless, but also because he was thin and short.

After Zhou Chen took the house, he ate and drank well, coupled with the cultivation of "Heaven and Earth Nourishing Qigong", which made his body stronger and stronger, and now he is close to a certain limit, at least the most expensive medicine that can be bought on Qingshi Island can no longer work for him.

"Originally, it was expected that it would take 5 years to break through to the spirit level, but now it seems that I have miscalculated, there are still 2 months at most, and I will definitely be able to successfully break through. ”

From the mortal level to the spirit level, the sign of breakthrough is to give birth to a trace of mana in the body.

Zhou Chen has practiced "Heaven and Earth Nourishing Qigong" for 3 and a half years, and he has not broken through to the spiritual level so far, which means that he has no mana in his body now.

But that's not to say that he's wasted the past three and a half years.

"Heaven and Earth Nourishing Qigong" is divided into four layers, corresponding to the four cultivation stages of mortal, spirit, small immortal, and great immortal.

Its first layer, which corresponds to the mortal level, is the first step in laying the foundation. When cultivating, first absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and then follow the method of the first layer, use the absorbed aura to pass it through in your body, which plays a role in warming the dantian and tendons.

Zhou Chen just missed the effect of medicine on nourishing the body, so the time to break through to the spirit level was calculated as 5 years.

And the reality is that his physique is already close to the limit of ordinary circumstances, and he only needs to practice "Heaven and Earth Nourishing Qigong" diligently for another month or two to steadily break through to the spiritual level.

"After breaking through to the spirit level, there is only a trace of mana, and he can't practice spells yet, but he meets the conditions for awakening to become a contractor. There is still a year to go, and I will be picked up like Chen Long and choose to enroll in the school, but the school of the contractor is several years, and I will miss out on many natural treasures. ”

Zhou Chen's brows furrowed slightly, but he quickly let go again. It only took him a short time to decide that he would not get on the passenger plane of the East China Sea Alliance, and he would not enroll in school according to the alliance's arrangement.

"Now that you've decided to go it alone, it's time to plan well. But there is no need to worry, when you break through to the spirit level, and then bathe in the red moon and moonlight and awaken, it is not too late to think about it at that time. ”

Knock knock!

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Xiaomei's voice came from outside: "Brother Ahai, I'm coming in!"

"Come in, the door is unlocked. ”

Zhou Chen said, picked up the medicine jar with his hand, and poured the medicinal soup inside into the large bowl that had been prepared long ago.

"Ahh ”

Xiaomei pushed the door in, and immediately smelled the strong smell of medicine, which made her immediately cover her nose with her hand.

"This is the last time, and I won't buy medicine anymore. ”

Zhou Chen directly drank the medicinal soup in the big bowl.

After drinking the medicine, he wiped his mouth casually with the back of his hand, then looked at Xiaomei, and said with a smile: "What are you staring at me for, do I look very handsome when I drink medicine?"

"Huh! narcissism!"

Xiaomei's face turned red, and then she pursed her lips and said: "It was grandpa who asked me to ask you, the sister-in-law Niu from the second village next door introduced you to a blind date, did you really not go?" Grandpa also said, brother, you are almost 20 years old, and the other young men on the island have all started a family at this age, you should think about it. ”

"Thank you Grandpa Liu for me, I don't want to start a family yet. ”

Zhou Chen understood Blacksmith Liu's kindness, but how could he really marry a wife and have children on this small island to live his life.

"Really?"

Xiaomei's eyes lit up, and she said, "Grandpa, I can say it, the sister I introduced to you is very good-looking, and she is not short with fair skin, don't you really want to take a look?"

"That girl's conditions sound good, how can she be willing to go on a blind date with me? Eighty percent heard that I am generous and spend lavishly, thinking that I am quite rich, right?"

In the past three and a half years, Zhou Chen's diving and fishing skills have also been known. After all, he went out every two days and brought back two large barrels of valuable sea fish. And every time he goes fishing, although he finds a remote place where no one is around, there is no guarantee that no one will pass by. So in the end, he was seen going into the water to fish.

"Brother, you always buy that kind of very expensive medicine, many people say that you are very weird behind your back, you obviously look very tough, but you buy big tonic medicine. ”

Xiaomei has never understood this. After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, those who take this tonic are people who are weak. If you are in a healthy body, what are you doing with tonics? Isn't it a waste? Do you think that these medicines are a treasure of heaven and earth? If you eat them, you can become stronger?

They naturally didn't know that Zhou Chen was cultivating the first layer of "Heaven and Earth Nourishing Qigong", even if it was an ordinary medicinal material instead of a heavenly and earthly treasure, as long as it had a great tonic effect on the body, he could still absorb it and use it to enhance his physique.

It's a pity that this effect is only limited to the first layer, and from the spirit level in the future, the focus is on the accumulation of mana, rather than the improvement of the physique. After all, "Heaven and Earth Nourishing Qigong" is not a body exercise method.

"Haha, if you don't understand it, you guys just buy medicine and eat it. ”

Zhou Chen rubbed Xiaomei's hair and jokingly fooled through.

"Hmph, forget it!"

Mei took his hand away and began to straighten her messy hair. As she gets older, she doesn't like Zhou Chen touching her head more and more, as if she is still a child.

Of course, she was actually a child. It was only three and a half years later, from 7 to 10 years old.

"Don't be unhappy, go, go out for a run with me!"

Zhou Chen has gradually reduced the amount of exercise recently, because his physique has become strong to a certain extent, and no amount of exercise can improve him.

When he goes out for a run now, he won't run around the village for more than ten or twenty laps or something, at most, he will run back and forth at the entrance of the village, so if he trots at a slower pace, Xiaomei can keep up.

"Well, I'll go change my clothes!"

Xiaomei started running with Zhou Chen a few months ago, and now her physique is much stronger, and she is more energetic than before.

"Don't worry, pick up the clothes slowly, I'll wait for you. ”

Zhou Chen looked at Xiaomei's back and shouted jokingly.

......

More than a month later, at night, Zhou Chen successfully broke through to the spirit level at home.

This is only the first step on the path of cultivation, and naturally there will be no vision. Like when he broke through to the big demon in "Hulu Immortal World", he was also silent, and only he knew the changes in his body.

"With the first trace of mana, it will be a process of accumulating and growing mana in the future. ”

Zhou Chen calculated the time again, the red moon that appeared once every three months would reappear in forty days, and at that time, he would definitely awaken successfully.

And after that, it was time for him to leave the bluestone island.
