Chapter Twenty-Six: Qi Training and Physical Training
The sun rose in the east, accompanied by all kinds of noises, Lin Ling slowly woke up from the breath of the breeze. Although the body does not feel particularly strange, the spirit is more refreshing than a good night's sleep.
The sound of striking iron outside the house, the turning of the waterwheel, and the inexplicable singing sound, as well as the sound of scolding, made Lin Ling feel like he was in a different world, as if he had returned to Niukeng Village.
He really likes the environment here.
Tang Jian went hunting early, and it seemed that he really planned to retrieve a nest of honey and come back. Gao Yi led Lin Ling to the master's room and asked for morning.
The master wore a water-green coat today, and if you divide it by color, this should be considered the core disciple's outfit. Only then did Lin Ling become more and more convinced that the master was really dressed casually, and he was completely unfettered by the rules of the Cangji Sect.
"Xiao Ling, your situation, the head of the sect has already told me a rough idea yesterday. The matter of Niukeng Village is really insignificant to you. You must believe that the Scar Sect will have the ability to find out about this matter, and during this time, you can rest assured that you will be here to learn the art with the two senior brothers. Master picked up the teacup seriously, only to find that there was no tea in it, this morning tea used to be brewed by the third child, ten years as a day, now he has been away for half a month, the master is naturally a little unaccustomed, Gao Yi saw this and hurriedly went out to fetch water.
A trace of doubt flashed in Lin Ling's eyes, Master is this deliberately supporting Senior Brother?
"Xiao Ling, have you ever learned to practice before?" Master took Lin Ling's little hand and walked out of the door, the birds and flowers outside the room were fragrant, it was really a paradise.
Lin Ling felt that his little hands seemed to be wrapped in a warm current, and he was indescribably comfortable, and shook his head and said, "No, the disciple has never learned." ”
"Then I'll give you a rough idea. This practice is divided into many stages. The three stages of qi training, pulse entry, and innate are called the foundation stage, and only with a good foundation can you achieve high. And after the congenital, it is the sea of clouds, the sun wheel, and the stars, which are intermediate stages, but just in the late stage of the stars, they are already a rare figure in the world, and they can be the ancestors of the founding of the mountain and the school at will. But these are not what my Scar Sect is pursuing. Master's eyes revealed a glimmer of brilliance, "The three stages of chaos, reincarnation, and creation are what my Cangji Sect has pursued all my life. As for the creation realm, legend has it that more than a thousand years ago, the supreme of the northern demon race had cultivated to this realm, but under the joint encirclement and suppression of the human race and the demon race, it was finally just a flash in the pan, and no one has reached the top so far. ”
"More than a thousand years ago, the three clans fought?" Lin Ling's eyes were filled with infinite curiosity, "It sounds so powerful." ”
"There were many interesting stories about that era, but there were also many tragic pasts. There are too many stories, you can go to the senior brother in the future to listen to more stories of that era. But those are too far away for you, all you have to do now is to cultivate well. The master squatted down, looked at Lin Ling's clear eyes, and said seriously: "The foundation of cultivation is the most important thing, if you want the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to enter the veins, you must first have qi in your body. And the way to gather qi, in addition to practicing qi, there is also a training of the body. Xiao Ling, how is your physical fitness?"
Master shook Lin Ling, who was like a small twig, and smiled on his face: "It seems that you can only practice qi into the pulse." ”
Lin Ling looked a little embarrassed, the reason for his illness since he was a child made his physique not very good: "Master, is there any difference between practicing qi and practicing the body?"
"You're getting to the point. This practice of qi into the pulse is to gather the heaven and earth aura in oneself, nourish the body with qi, nourish the body, this method into the pulse is fast, good results, but the disadvantage is that the physical quality is not strong enough, and the body is fragile when fighting with others, and it is not suitable for close combat. If you use physical training to enter the pulse, you need to look at the individual's affinity for the aura of heaven and earth, and the level of affinity determines the speed of physical training. The key to practicing the body, in the process of constantly tempering the body, will absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth, and fully integrate the spiritual power into every corner of the body, so that the strength of the body is extremely high, and the comprehensive combat ability is at least twice as strong as that of the person who practices the qi into the pulse. People with the Xuanhuang body are extremely rare, there is not one in a million, if you continue to cultivate with the Xuanhuang body, your future achievements will be amazing. Legend has it that the supreme demon was the body of Xuanhuang back then. ”
As the Master spoke, there was a hint of yearning and remembrance in his eyes.
"Master, what stage are the senior brothers at now, and how did they cultivate back then?" Lin Ling's eyes were also full of fascination.
"Xiaoyi's body is weak, but his mind is flexible, it took three years to practice qi to enter the pulse, and after five years to reach the congenital, it should be the early congenital stage, among ordinary people, it can be regarded as the dragon and phoenix among people. Master continued, "Xiao Jian's body is solid, and his affinity for the aura of heaven and earth is medium, although it took five years to practice his body and enter the pulse, but it only took three years to enter the innate body, and now his cultivation may still be above Xiao Yi." ”
Lin Ling thought in his heart, and couldn't help but be curious: "Then the realm of the senior brothers, how did they perform in the martial arts competition once every four years?"
The master sneered and said, "This martial arts competition is a competition in which all the Cangji sect disciples under the age of twenty participate in the competition, except for the core disciples, and the worst ones are the innate realm, not to mention the inner disciples. Your two senior brothers just passed the age of twenty this year, so they didn't participate this year, I heard that the champion of this session is an ordinary disciple named Ye Qiuhong, who is eighteen years old this year, and has already practiced to the late stage of the sea of clouds, which is really amazing, but it is still not able to be absorbed by the core disciples, it is a pity. ”
"In other words, if you want to become a core disciple, your achievements must be higher than that of Senior Brother Ye Qiuhong?" Lin Ling's eyes showed a hint of determination.
"Xiao Ling, your ambition is not small. The master gently touched Lin Ling's head and said with a smile, "Come on, for the teacher, I will teach you the method of practicing qi, and let Xiaoyi take you to see the masters in the valley tomorrow and choose a skill to learn." ”
"No! I don't want to learn to practice qi, I want to learn to practice the body! I want to practice the body of Xuanhuang!" Lin Ling didn't say all the words in his heart, you know, only in this way can he hope to be selected as a core disciple to learn the Dragon Venerable Technique!
"Do you want to practice into the Xuanhuang Body?" After a moment of silence, the master looked a little helpless and pitying, "Xiao Ling, the Xuanhuang Body is a talent, and it is basically a matter of personal effort...... It doesn't matter. You must know that if your affinity with the aura of heaven and earth does not meet the requirements, just the process of practicing the body will be painful, and when the time comes, you will not be able to practice the body, but you will miss your practice. ”
Lin Ling's eyes were full of resoluteness and said, "How can I know my affinity with the aura of heaven and earth?"
The master took out a five-finger square turquoise stone from his body, déjà vu, Lin Ling instinctively took a step back, and then he remembered that this stone was the beginning of Lin Ling's nightmare.
"Spirit Stone. ”
