Chapter 312: Persistence
Sitting cross-legged and looking at the old man Ding who was pouring thyme on the side, Lin Dong took a deep breath, and after taking out a few jars of thyme and red wine from the mobile counter, his eyes were slightly closed, and the distracting thoughts in his mind were gradually discarded.
Spiritual power slowly poured out of the dantian and entered the meridians. Immediately, under the control of Lin Dong's mind, he quickly shuttled.
A week later, when the spiritual power gushed out of the dantian again, the speed of movement in the meridians actually accelerated by a few points.
2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks...... The speed at which the spiritual power traveled through the meridians was getting faster and faster, and after a big week, the speed had already exceeded twice the cultivation bonus when he was at the Lin Ji Inn. At the same time, there was also a faint tingling in the meridians.
On the second Great Zhou Tian, the cultivation speed began to reach five times the cultivation bonus, and the stinging pain became more and more obvious, Lin Dong only felt that every meridian seemed to be constantly pulled towards the two ends by an invisible force, which made him extremely uncomfortable, but he had to endure it.
In the fourth Great Zhou Tian, the cultivation speed had increased to more than ten times, in addition to the pain of the meridian tearing doubled, faintly, every inch of muscle in Lin Dong's body also began to suffer from the erosion of this pulling force.
On the eighth Sunday, Lin Dong's breathing gradually became short, and a little sweat gradually leaked out of his forehead. The pain around his body seemed to tear, and his heart had begun to become impetuous and unbearable.
Beside him, Old Man Ding poured a mouthful of thyme and glanced at Lin Dong's expression with satisfaction. As he expected, in half an hour, Lin Dong's meridians and ** strength have begun to be unable to resist the power of the Thrilling Stone, and next, it depends on whether his willpower can persist until he expects half an hour.
Hold on, you must hold back!
Lin Dong gritted his teeth and kept insisting, the better his wife, the higher the price. For Yun Lan, he is willing to suffer no matter how big it is.
The 10th Great Week, the 11th Great Week, the 12th Great Week...... The power of the Thrilling Stone seemed to be endless, the speed of spiritual power in the meridians was getting faster and faster, and the tearing pain was becoming more and more intense, neither of which showed any signs of slowing down.
On the sixteenth Great Zhou Day, Old Man Ding put down the wine jar in his hand, and looked at Lin Dong, who was sweating profusely and his body trembling violently, ready to stabilize his meridians for him at any time.
Thinking is gradually disordered, if it is normal, Lin Dong at this moment has collapsed.
Strength is just for Lin Dong, the stronger the better, but life is not just about the pursuit of strength. Lin Dong likes the pleasure of increasing strength, but he is not a martial idiot, he can do uninterrupted cultivation for days and nights, because the feeling of increasing spiritual power can make up for boring cultivation.
But he definitely couldn't bear to cultivate in intense pain, Lin Dong felt that it was not worth it, with the cultivation bonus of Lin Ji Inn, it was only a matter of time before he became a peak powerhouse, there was no need to abuse himself. There are people outside the world, and the world is invincible in exchange for pain, and in his heart, it is far more cost-effective to enter the ranks of the peak powerhouses in a comfortable and comfortable way.
At this moment, there was only one thought in Lin Dong's mind.
Persistence, persistence!
As time passed, the intense and unbearable pain made Lin Dong forget everything, and even made him forget why he persisted. The roar of the head as if it would burst at any moment, the sharp pain is like being torn by a huge force, and the body and meridians may be torn apart in the next second...... Lin Dong trembled like chaff, the green tendons on his forehead kept beating, and beads of sweat the size of beans soaked through his clothes.
[***] Zhou Tian, [***] Zhou Tian, 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China...... Old man Ding's gaze was slightly surprised. Lin Dong's endurance exceeded his expectations.
"This kid is hard enough on himself!"
Old man Ding smacked his lips, a little difficult to understand Lin Dong's performance. He had seen the power of the Thrilling Stone, and with the content of this Heaven and Earth Cave, it was easy to estimate how much the suction force would gradually reach.
In his opinion, Lin Dong is not the kind of martial idiot who can abandon everything for the sake of strength, so he will assert that he will definitely be defeated in an hour. Unexpectedly, time was heading straight for an hour and a half.
The 30th Great Sunday, the 31st Sunday, and the 32nd Great Sunday...... Old Man Ding's gaze gradually became solemn, the frequency of Lin Dong's body trembling had become bigger and bigger, and the degree of distortion of his face had gradually become hideous, but there was no sign of stopping.
The next little Zhou Tian will definitely stop, with this thought, the old man Ding kept waiting, but the result is always the next Xiao Zhou Tian.
On the ground, a puddle of sweat slowly spread around Lin Dong, ten centimeters, twenty centimeters, and thirty centimeters...... Lin Dong was already numb, and his whole mind was fluttering as if he was in a hazy chaos. No one could understand his state at the moment, including the well-informed old man Ding on the side.
Body, meridians, spiritual power...... Lin Dong didn't feel any existence, his thoughts were empty, there seemed to be nothing, he couldn't think, but it could make Lin Dong really feel that he was still awake.
Finally, Old Man Ding's figure flashed, and he came behind Lin Dong, and his palms suddenly pressed against his back.
The body trembling violently gradually calmed down with the surging spiritual power pouring in. The erratic mind was slowly pulling back, and the sharp pain of tearing gradually returned to Lin Dong's consciousness.
As Old Man Ding's spiritual power formed an invisible barrier around his body, and this barrier was constantly thickening, the pain slowly weakened, and Lin Dong's thinking slowly regained consciousness.
Slowly lifting his heavy eyelids, which seemed to be pressed by the gravity of a thousand catties, Lin Dong looked at the vague scene that was always difficult to gather, opened his chapped lips, and his hot and unbearable throat squirmed.
"How much, how long?"
"Nine hours! As long as you hold on for two more hours, you can almost reach the limit of the Thrilling Stone. Old man Ding replied lightly, and the spiritual power continued to swim in Lin Dong's body.
"It's not bad, next time, it should be able to reach the limit of the Thrilling Stone."
The corners of Lin Dong's mouth couldn't help but evoke a faint smile, he could feel that the spiritual power in the dantian had made great progress, which meant that the pain of wanting to die and live was still worth it.
"Are you going to break the limit next time?" Old man Ding said, "What are you stimulated?" In my estimation, you'll only have to hold out for an hour. Unexpectedly, you actually broke through the limit of your spirit and reached a state that the old man couldn't understand. ”
"No way!" Lin Dong smiled bitterly: "It's twenty-five, if you don't marry a wife, you will become an old man." ”
"It turned out to be for Yun Girl, I said how can you kid dare to fight for your life for one or two small realms. Did you know that in a quarter of an hour, you will have to die? Old man Ding put his hands down, and with a wave of his hand, a jar of thyme flew into his palm.
"Killed?" Lin Dong was surprised.
Old man Ding smiled indifferently, lifted the mud seal on the wine jar, put the entire jar of wine in front of Lin Dong, and signaled: "Try it!" ”
Lin Dong's right arm was raised slightly, and for a moment, his face showed pain, and his right arm hung down weakly after raising a little.
"Why don't I even have the strength to lift my hand?"
"A few more little Sundays, you don't even have the strength to speak." Old man Ding grabbed the wine jar and unceremoniously poured it on Lin Dong's head.
Bang!
Lin Dong couldn't resist the impact of thyme and fell to the ground on his back.
With his eyes closed, his throat kept sliding, a mouthful of thyme entered his body, and dozens of mouthfuls of his stomach were connected, Lin Dong finally felt that his body had recovered a little strength.
When the thyme in the wine jar was more than half, Lin Dong raised his hands a little unpleasantly, snatched the wine jar from the old man Ding's hand, and after bringing it to his mouth, he poured it wildly.
After half of the whole jar of thyme was wasted, half poured into the stomach, and forced the wine out of the body, Lin Dong burped and asked, "What's going on?" ”
"I want to ask you what's going on!" Old man Ding said angrily: "With the help of the Thrilling Stone cultivation, I have only heard of people who can't stand it, and I have never heard of someone dying because of this." ”
"What do you mean?" Lin Dong said confusedly.
"With the help of the Thrilling Stone to cultivate, if you can't stand it, most of them will choose to give up." Old man Ding explained: "Even if you grit your teeth and stiffen your teeth, after reaching the limit, you will faint. After fainting, it is only a mental injury, and the spiritual power in the meridians will escape to the whole body because of the loss of control, and it will be enough to regulate for an hour or two, even if no one takes care of it. It's a good thing that you actually endured it for nine hours in one go, and your spirit has already exceeded the limit, and you can still continue to cultivate. In this way, the body's capacity will reach its limit. ”
Lin Dong was stunned: "What does the old man mean is that my body's endurance is not enough to support me to completely break through the limit of the Thrilling Stone?" ”
Old Man Ding nodded and asked, "What's the matter with you?" It stands to reason that after the spirit reaches its limit, unless it has the strength of the heart reversal period, it is impossible for the spiritual power to operate in the meridians on its own. ”
"Spiritual power runs in the meridians on its own?" Lin Dong scratched his head, shook his head and said, "I don't know, after the pain is unbearable, the whole person will be confused." ”
Old Man Ding was speechless, if he wanted to see any ancient book in the future, it would not be life-threatening to use the help of the Thrilling Stone to assist in cultivation, and he would definitely tear this ancient book to pieces.
"Old man, is there any elixir that can improve the body?" Lin Dong asked.
"Don't be delusional." Old man Ding said categorically: "There are many elixirs to improve the body, but the strength of the meridians is related to strength. ”
"Isn't there an elixir that can improve your strength in a short period of time?" Lin Dong was overjoyed.
"The stronger the strength, the worse the effect of the Amazing Stone's auxiliary cultivation will be." Old man Ding said lightly.
Lin Dong was suddenly disappointed: "Looking at it this way, wouldn't I only be able to cultivate for nine hours in one breath at most?" ”
"The premise is that you can maintain this weird and incomprehensible state every time, and that I can strike in time." Old man Ding said leisurely.
"Then there is Old Man Lao." There are still three hours away from the highest limit of the Thrilling Stone, although disappointed, but it is better than stopping once in an hour, Lin Dong looked up at the old man Ding, and said with a smile: "After I go back, I will send someone to the capital to run to see if I can get a few jars of hundred-year-old jade dew." ”
"That's what you said!" Old man Ding couldn't help but lick his lips.
"I said that!" Lin Dong nodded hurriedly.
"That's okay, you first use your mind to control your spiritual power and try to cultivate yourself in the meridians." Old man Ding commanded.
"How to control it?" The second monk Lin Dongzhang was confused.
"It's the same as normal cultivation, except that when the spiritual power is running in the meridians, I don't bother with it." Old man Ding explained.
Lin Dong nodded, his eyes were slightly closed, his mind was moved, and the spiritual power gushed out of the dantian, flowing into the meridians, and then running rapidly.
With a turn of thought, Lin Dong opened his eyes and looked at Old Man Ding.
"Look inward!" Old man Ding spoke.
Moved by his mind, all the meridians around his body floated in Lin Dong's mind, and in the meridians, spiritual power was rapidly swimming in them.
"Really, really can operate autonomously, according to that...... Lin Dong was stunned and said: "Isn't it the same as the strong, I don't need to cultivate, and my spiritual power can run in the meridians all the time?" ”
Old man Ding nodded slowly: "It's weird, but it should be like this." Perhaps, when you reach the stage of heart reversal, the effect of letting your spiritual power cultivate on your own may be stronger than the speed at which you control your spiritual power cultivation. ”
Lin Dongle was puzzled, inexplicably, he actually learned the unique ability of the strong? Although he said that he spent no less than nine hours of cultivation every day, if he could have three more hours, even if he didn't have the cultivation bonus of the inn system, it would indirectly amount to speeding up by one-tenth of a ten. If it is really as Old Man Ding said, after breaking through to the heart reversal period, it may even be faster than controlling his own spiritual power cultivation, and this harvest is even greater than improving two or three realms in one breath.
"Alright, don't be too happy." Old Man Ding waved his hand, and a jar of red wine came to his palm: "The reason why the heart reversal period allows the spiritual power to absorb the spiritual power of the outside world to cultivate on its own is because after breaking through the heart stage, the mind will be improved dozens of times. It stands to reason that your current mind has reached the level where you can cultivate on your own, and once your mind is increased by dozens of times, it is likely to exceed the speed at which you can concentrate on cultivation. But it's just possible, or maybe after you break through to the mental stage, your mind won't improve. ”
"We'll see when the time comes!"
Lin Dong nodded, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, and now it is in vain to think more, it is better to concentrate on this heaven and earth cave.
Concentrating and calming, Lin Dong did not hesitate and entered the state of concentration again.
Just like before, after eight Great Zhou Tian, the tearing force brought by the Thrilling Stone began to be unbearable. Lin Dong gritted his teeth and persevered, and as time went by, the water stains, which had originally spread to more than sixty centimeters, began to spread again.
One hour, two hours, three hours...... Just like the previous time, when Lin Dong couldn't bear it anymore, the spiritual power operated in the meridians on its own.
About nine hours, Lin Dong was about to be on the verge of physical collapse, Old Man Ding suddenly put down the wine jar raised high, his eyes suddenly opened, and his figure flickered, and he came to Lin Dong's body, and his palms quickly stuck to his back.
The severe pain gradually subsided, Lin Dong woke up faintly, and said weakly: "How long?" ”
"Nine hours!" Old man Ding took out a jar of thyme, tore open the mud seal, and poured it towards Lin Dong.
Lying on the ground, gulping out thyme, Lin Dong's face, although the painful expression had not completely dissipated, there was a little more smile. The first time may have been a coincidence, but the second time undoubtedly confirmed that he would be able to continue cultivating for nine hours at a time.
After recovering a little strength, Lin Dong took the wine jar in Old Man Ding's hand, raised his head and asked, "At this rate, what strength can I achieve after the effect of the Thrilling Stone disappears?" ”
"It's almost enough to break through to the ninth level of the Mind Stage." Old man Ding said casually.
Lin Dong beckoned, and a jar of red wine came to his hand with a whistling.
"What, when you're happy, you want to have a good drink to celebrate?" Old man Ding was a little unhappy, there were only ten jars of red wine in total, and if he was alone, he would have to stay up for nine days to drink one jar. If there is one jar missing, it will take ten days to drink one.
Lin Dong shook his head with a smile, threw the red wine to Old Man Ding, and then raised the thyme wine jar in his hand: "You can go from the sixth level of the mental period to the ninth level of the mental period in three months, this kind of good news, it is really unreasonable to be unhappy and happy." ”
"It's not in vain that the old man takes the time to save you every nine hours!" Old man Ding grinned, lifted the mud seal of the red wine, raised his right arm, and the wine jar collided with the thyme wine jar in Lin Dong's hand, bringing a crisp collision sound.
Lin Dong raised his neck and poured the remaining half of the altar of thyme into his throat in one go, and the whole person was full of energy, without the previous decadence and powerlessness.
"That's right!" After Lin Dong put down the wine jar and grabbed another jar of thyme, Old Man Ding also stopped and said, "Not long ago, that little girl in a red dress came here. ”
"Miss You?" Lin Dong shook his head and asked, "What did she say?" ”
"Although I figured it out, I was still a little unwilling." Old man Ding said leisurely: "However, with the advice of the old man and the cooperation of your miserable state, after learning that it is all for Yun Yatou, you should have completely let go." ”
Lin Dong let out a long breath, and the stone that was pressed on his heart finally landed completely.
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Dong stood up and decided: "Old man, I'll go find the girl downstream, and I'll come back later." ”
"No, she should be here right away." Old man Ding said with a comfortable expression: "The little girl came to see you, and by the way, I brought you food, and I ate it all." I guess I'll send it again soon. ”
Lin Dong nodded, lifted the mud seal, and poured thyme while expelling the wine with spiritual power.
In less than half an hour, a beautiful figure came from far and near.
Seeing that Lin Dong had woken up, You Qinxiang remembered her confession yesterday, and hesitated a little shyly.
Lin Dong touched his somewhat shriveled stomach and asked, "Miss You, is there spirit beast meat in it?" ”
You Qinxiang nodded slightly, hesitated, still lowered her head, and slowly approached.
Taking the bamboo basket handed by You Qinxiang, Lin Dong lifted the white cloth on it and saw that two dishes and one soup, plus a bowl of white rice, were steaming up together.
"The food is good, but the owner is a little stingy...... As far as I eat, I only eat so much a day, and after three months, I will be skinny and skinny. Lin Dong smiled and took out the food one by one.
You Qinxiang pursed her lips, and it took a long time to hold back a smile, quickly picked up the bamboo basket and said, "Brother Lin eat slowly, I'll go back first, and I'll bring more food next time." ”
Say it! Without waiting for Lin Dong to nod in agreement, You Qinxiang quickly turned around and walked away quickly.
Lin Dong didn't stop it, You Qinxiang is not as thick-skinned as herself, and it is normal to be a little embarrassed to meet, and after a long time, she will definitely gradually get better.
Stuffing two dishes, one soup and white rice into his stomach, Lin Dong stretched his waist, sat cross-legged again, and challenged the Thrilling Stone again......
