Chapter 31: Hard work pays off
Because he had just started cultivating, Li Wu couldn't do it yet.
He could only stand on the ground of the cave hall with the wooden knife in his hand, stabbing repeatedly in one direction, and injecting the true qi released into his body as much as possible into the wooden knife in his hand through gong.
It's a bit silly, but there's no way around it, because there's a step-by-step process to do everything.
At first, only a small amount of True Qi was injected into the blade of the wooden knife, and most of the True Qi was lost in Li Wu's hands.
But Li Wu was not discouraged, but practiced more intently.
He believes that since a small amount of True Qi has entered the body of the wooden knife, it means that the method in the "Five Elements Yin and Yang Decision" is effective, but he has not yet mastered the essentials of injecting all the True Qi released into the weapon.
The hard work paid off, Li Wu did not sleep, practiced for two days in a row, and through thousands of repeated practice, he finally mastered the essentials of injecting all the true qi released into the body into the wooden knife.
But to Li Wu's surprise, after entering the wooden knife, the true qi did not shoot out from the tip of the knife, nor did it form a sharp cutting edge on the entire blade, but dispersed into the entire blade, and finally all of it dissipated naturally.
Although the blade trembled for a while, it did not form any attack power at all.
Li Wu thought that it might be that the kung fu was not enough, and insisted on practicing for a few hours, but there was still no improvement.
Because of the large amount of spiritual power output, Li Wu was already a little tired at this time, and his self-confidence was also hit by repeated failures.
Through Chen Xianwu's memory, Li Wu had long known that even a Xiaocheng monk in the Baimang Realm, with a little practice, could easily inject the true qi in his body into swords and other metal weapons, and kill people through sharp blades or blades.
He was now a Blue Mang Realm Minor Cultivator, and his cultivation was six small levels higher than that of the White Mang Realm Minor Cultivator, not counting the fact that his cultivation of the exercises from the Divine Realm was one or two small levels higher than that of the same level cultivator in the Mortal Realm.
But the reality was that he couldn't do what a monk of the White Mang Realm could easily do.
Li Wu couldn't help but be a little discouraged, and sat on the stone bench.
He didn't know if there was a problem with the exercises he cultivated, or if there was something wrong with himself.
Puzzled, Li Wu simply summoned the Holy Child.
Li Wu asked the Holy Child: "Holy Child, I have been cultivating for two days and one night, but I still can't release the edge through the weapon, and I can't form any attack power at all, is there something wrong with the exercises you gave me?"
"There will be no problems with the exercises. ”
The Holy Infant explained: "This set of cultivation techniques called 'Five Elements Yin and Yang Duel' was created by a martial arts powerhouse who had once dominated the three thousand realms of the Divine Domain, and it has been tested by many Divine Domain cultivators, so there can be no problems at all. ”
Li Wu couldn't help but be a little disappointed: "It must be something wrong with me." ”
If there is a problem with the exercises, you can change the set of exercises to practice, but if there is a problem with the martial artist himself, then the problem will be serious.
A martial artist who can't learn to control weapons is destined to fight the enemy with his bare hands in this life.
I didn't want the Holy Infant to say, "Master, it's not a problem with the exercises, nor is it your own problem. ”
Li Wu saw hope again: "What's the problem?"
The Holy Infant pointed to the wooden knife in Li Wu's hand: "The problem is all in this wooden knife. ”
Li Wu also looked at the wooden knife in his hand: "How can there be a problem with the wooden knife? This is the wooden knife you asked me to make, didn't you say that if the wooden knife is cultivated well, it can also kill people?"
Holy Infant said: "I'm talking about the material of the wooden knife, the relatively conductive steel knife, the material of the wooden knife is more sluggish and sluggish, and the resistance to the operation of the true qi is also greater. ”
Li Wu was a little puzzled: "Then why do you still let me use this broken wood knife as a weapon to cultivate?"
The Holy Infant smiled: "It is precisely because it is not easy to practice the wooden knife that I let you practice the wooden knife." ”
"Why?"
"Because if you want to make a wooden knife the effect of a steel knife, you need to put in more effort, and the true qi injected into the wooden knife also needs to be more, more condensed and more refined. But once a martial artist learns to use a wooden knife to release his true qi, he will change to a steel knife in the future, and the power is several times or even more than ten times that of a martial artist of the same level who cultivates metal weapons. ”
Through the Holy Child's explanation, Li Wu finally regained his confidence and began to cultivate the wooden sword again.
Finally, in the afternoon of the third day, the wooden knife in Li Wu's hand suddenly let out a sharp whistling sound.
The sound is like a trilling sound made when a steel plate vibrates, and it is very pleasant to hear.
Moreover, as the howling sound sounded, a faint blue flame of light shot out from the tip of the knife that Li Wu had stabbed.
Although this ray of light was very faint, it would be difficult for people to detect it if it was in a bright outside, but because the light in the cave hall was a little dim, Li Wu could still clearly see that faint light flame.
Seeing this ray of blue light, Li Wu knew that he had succeeded, and he could already kill the enemy by releasing his true qi through his weapon.
Striking while the iron was hot, Li Wu then began to practice the knife technique while releasing his true qi through the wooden knife.
Chopping and chopping, stabbing and teasing, trellis blocking, winding and hanging ......
I saw Li Wu's footwork jumping and jumping, his body flashing and moving, and every move and style tried his best to infuse the true qi into the wooden knife.
At the beginning, he couldn't do what he wanted, either the knife was fast or the line was slow, and he couldn't get stuck on the point.
But as time went on, he quickly mastered the technique of combining True Qi with various killing moves, and there were constantly flames of light shooting out from the tip and blade of the blade, and he became more and more handy in using it, and it could even be said that it was like an arm.
The knife flowers dance, the air is dotted, like the wind fluttering pear blossoms, and the snow is flying all over the sky......
Although the sharp edge that burst out from the wooden knife every time he made a move was still limited and not sharp enough, Li Wu did it after all.
By cultivating the fire technique in the "Five Elements Yin and Yang Decision", Li Wu not only successfully endowed the true qi fire element attribute in his body, accidentally obtained the prototype of the body protection method, but also learned the combat technique of injecting true qi into weapons, which can be regarded as a great gain.
Although the harvest was great, Li Wu was still a little disappointed.
After all, in this cultivation, he has not made a substantial breakthrough in cultivation, and he is still a small monk in the Blue Mang Realm.
You must know that he just opened up the meridians, and he broke through to the Qingmang Realm Dacheng realm.
Later, after washing the marrow and strengthening the pulse, in just four days, he broke through from the Qingmang Realm Dacheng to the Lanmang Realm Xiaocheng Realm.
And this time, although he cultivated the more formal and systematic "Five Elements Yin and Yang Decision", and it took him ten days, in addition to the mutation of his qi, the technique of using weapons has also improved, but there has been no breakthrough in the most basic cultivation.
I have to say that compared to the previous progress speed, his progress this time is really a bit slow.
For this reason, Li Wu also specifically inquired about the Holy Child.
The Holy Child told Li Wu that cultivation was the monk's life's work.
If a monk wants to break through the great realm, he not only relies on hard cultivation, but sometimes he also depends on chance.
When the opportunity comes, some people can break through with a single thought.
If the opportunity is not enough, some people are stuck in a bottleneck and cannot be broken through for several years or even more than ten years.
If you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, you can't be in a hurry.
There is a more important point, that is, the cultivation of martial artists becomes more and more difficult the further you go.
When a monk sets foot on the path of cultivation, as long as he finds the right path at the beginning and does not take a detour, most of them progress very quickly.
This is because everyone has potential in their body, and they are just developing it at first.
But with the continuous improvement of cultivation, even if the talent is high, the potential in the body will always be exhausted one day, and they can only turn to relying on external forces to accumulate cultivation, such as absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, such as cultivating the secret books of exercises, such as taking pills that can improve cultivation, etc.
In short, the further a monk cultivates, the slower the speed of ascent, and the more difficult it will become to break through.
This is also the reason why the group of monks is always pyramid-shaped, and the higher the rank, the smaller the number of monks.
However, the Holy Infant also told Li Wu that hard work pays off, with his martial arts cultivation potential and comprehension ability, the phenomenon of being stuck in a bottleneck for more than ten years and not being able to break through should not happen, as long as he insists on cultivating, it is only a matter of time before he breaks through.
Since he couldn't make a breakthrough in the short term, Li Wu decided to continue to go down the mountain to practice.
Replacing training with combat can maximize his combat power.
The last time Li Wu went down the mountain to practice, most of the hunted were low-level spirit beasts, and they didn't pose much of a threat to him at all.
This time, although he still didn't have the idea of stepping into the Spirit Valley of the Demon Beast Ancestral Land, in order to increase his combat power as much as possible, he decided to target all the spirit beasts above the fourth order.
A fourth-order spirit beast, cultivated to a Red Mang Realm monk equivalent to a human monk.
On the surface, the cultivation of the fourth-order spirit beast is a big level higher than Li Wu's, but the spirit beast's mind is far less than that of a human monk, and it relies more on strength to win, Li Wu can completely rely on his cultivation in the Blue Mang Realm to fight with the fourth-order spirit beast.
Of course, while hunting the fourth-order spirit beasts, it would be even better if some human monks could also be hunted.
Hunting human monks can greatly increase Li Wu's experience in fighting human monks.
After all, the vast majority of the enemies he will really face in the future are human monks.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are people, there are conflicts of interest.
Cannibalism in the same room is an eternal farce in the human world, and even accompanies the entire history of human development.
This farce has been playing out and is destined to continue until humanity is completely wiped out.
But Li Wu didn't want to kill innocents indiscriminately with his cultivation, he only wanted to kill those robbers who killed people and oversold goods.
As long as he could successfully hunt down a few Lanmang Realm Great Perfection cultivators, he would have the courage to fight Chen Qingdai.
After all, he was cultivating exercises from the Divine Realm, and compared with the monks of the same level in the Mortal Realm, the cultivators of the Divine Realm were originally one or two small levels higher than the monks of the Mortal Realm, and if he added terrifying combat power, he could not only crush the monks of the same level in the Mortal Realm, but even fight with the monks of the Red Mang Realm in the Mortal Realm.
