Chapter 35: A Peculiar Cultivation Method
"What, old man, you have a way to help me recover my internal strength!" After hearing the old man's words, Ling Chen was also stunned for a while, looked at the old man and asked seriously.
"Didn't I tell you, it's yours after all, it's yours, you just lost your internal strength, and it's possible to get back what you've lost as long as you work hard!" The old man looked at Ling Chen and said very casually, it seemed that in his opinion, it was not difficult to restore the internal force that had been lost because of the cartilage grass!
"Can you really restore fù, great, then old man, what method are we using to restore fù internal force this time!" Hearing that his internal strength could really be restored, Ling Chen was also very excited, and looked at the old man and asked excitedly.
"Of course you can recover, as long as you practice hard, your natural internal strength will come back!" The old man looked at Ling Chen and said very calmly.
"Practice, old man, you mean that you want me to cultivate internal skills from scratch!" Ling Chen looked at this old man in shock, he never thought that this mysterious old man's method of recovering his internal strength was actually the simplest and most time-consuming cultivation, is this teasing me!
"Of course it's cultivation, this is the best way to gain internal strength!" The old man nodded very seriously.
"Uh, old man, I'll go first, I do have some things to deal with, I can't delay too long!" At this moment, Ling Chen was also a little anxious and said to the old man, in his opinion, since he was going to cultivate from scratch, then he might as well go back, with the secret method of the Shangyao Sect, he was sure that he would become a first-class master in the rivers and lakes within five years, but he was not completely sure whether the regrets in this Tianlong world could be changed.
"Is it so urgent, can't you wait for half a month!" Seeing that Ling Chen was about to leave, the old man seemed to say with some regret.
"Half a month, old man, are you saying that I will be able to recover the lost internal strength after half a month of cultivation!" Hearing the old man's words, Ling Chen, who was about to leave, also stopped, and looked at the old man with hope in his eyes again and asked.
"Do you think it's a long time, if you work harder, maybe you can go faster!" The old man looked at Ling Chen's surprised expression, and thought that he felt that it was too long, so he opened his mouth and said to him.
"You can go a little faster, old man, didn't you lie to me?" Ling Chen looked at the old man very excitedly and asked, this time the difference between heaven and hell made him feel that his heart was a little unbearable.
"Do I need to lie to you!" The old man looked at Ling Chen and asked rhetorically.
"No, no, old man, please tell me how to cultivate to be able to recover my internal strength in half a month, I will definitely repay your great kindness!" Ling Chen bowed to the old man seriously, thinking that he could recover the lost internal strength in half a month, this excitement was simply indescribable!
"Hehe, then come with me!" Looking at Ling Chen's excited appearance, the old man also had a smile on his face and led him out of the house......
Ling Chen followed the old man out of the wooden house, and soon came to a small pond, the water in the pond was very clear, like the transparent glass, if it wasn't for the reflection of the sun shining on it, it would hardly be noticeable that there was a pond here.
"Sir, what are we doing here!" Ling Chen looked around puzzled, he couldn't understand what the old man wanted to do, would it be more effective to cultivate here than in the Xixia Ice Cellar himself!
"You'll know right away, if you look carefully in the pond, do you see those small silver-white fish!" The old man said, pointing to some shiny places in the pond.
Ling Chen fixed his eyes and looked at it, but no, those shining places were the reflections formed by the small silver-white fish under the sunlight, but these fish were really small, as big as tadpoles, if it wasn't for the sun's rays, it was really not easy to find.
"This little fish is called a tadpole fish, and I took it based on its appearance!" The old man looked at the tadpole fish and said lightly, "Little guy, the cultivation method I gave you is very simple, there are three stages in total, I want you to catch this fish for me first, this is the first stage of your cultivation, but I must ask to be alive!" ”
"It's not simple, the water in this pond is not deep, and there are so many in it, can't you grab a few with a spoonful!" Ling Chen looked at the glittering light everywhere in the entire pond, and felt that this first stage of cultivation was not difficult at all!
"Yes, let me warn you, these tadpole fish are extremely alert, and the slightest wave of water will spread them out, and they are very likely to kill themselves when they find themselves caught!" The old man looked at Ling Chen with a wicked smile and explained.
"Is it so mysterious!" Ling Chen looked at the old man and said with some disbelief.
"yes, let's test it then!" The old man picked up a leaf from the ground and gently threw it towards the pond, and the moment the leaf fell on the surface of the water, it was just a faint water streak, and a large number of tadpole fish immediately dispersed around, as fast as lightning in the water.
"How is this possible...... Ling Chen's eyes widened, he couldn't believe what was happening in front of him, how could such an alert fish be caught!
"Sir, do you have any other hints?" However, although Ling Chen was surprised, he still kept his sanity and asked the old man on the side.
"Yes, I'll show you a demonstration!" The old man looked at Ling Chen, who was shocked on the surface, but still kept his sanity in his heart, and nodded with satisfaction, secretly saying that this kid has a good temperament, at least he was not frightened by the scene in front of him and lost his mind.
I saw the old man walk to the edge of the pond, take out a gourd spoon from his body and put it into the water, his movements are not fast, but it gives people a very natural feeling, as if he was originally part of the pond, and what is even more surprising is that he put the gourd spoon into the pond without stirring up a little water streak.
Then the old man gently rotated the gourd spoon in the water, and put a tadpole fish into it, and the tadpole fish did not notice it at all, and after the old man took the gourd spoon out of the water, he was still swimming slowly in it.
"See, if you catch one like this, you'll be successful!" The old man took out a gourd spoon from his arms again, handed it to Ling Chen, and said.
Ling Chen held the gourd spoon in his hand, imitating the old man's previous state, and slowly put the gourd spoon into the water, but as soon as the gourd spoon touched the water surface, layers of water ripples were stirred, and a large area of tadpole fish around it immediately spread around, and there was not a single one left in an instant.
"Take your time to realize, this kind of thing can only rely on yourself, and I can only teach so much first!" The old man looked at Ling Chen and shrugged helplessly, turned around and left.
"The reason why he was able to put this fish into the gourd spoon was because his movements did not stir up a single ripple of water at all, like a part of this pond, so that the tadpole fish could not detect it at all, but how could he reach his kind of state!" Ling Chen carefully recalled the old man's previous actions, trying to find some clues from them, but everything he could think of was so normal, there was nothing special about it......
"Together, by the way, I can try it with the remaining internal force in my body!" Ling Chen thought back and slowly put his hand into the water, and at the same time began to let his internal force transform into true qi and disperse outward from his palm.
But Yi Qiē was not as smooth as Ling Chen imagined, when he controlled the internal force to release the true qi, it still stirred up a layer of water ripples, and the tadpole fish were also immediately aware of it, and they all avoided it.
"What, you can detect it in this way, these fish are too against the sky!" Ling Chen looked at the tadpole fish hiding far away a little speechlessly, and suddenly found that a few tadpole fish swam into the dead corner of the pond in the process of dodging, "Hehe, this is no wonder for me, no matter how vigilant I am, it's just a fish!" ”
Ling Chen quietly walked to the corner of the pond where a few tadpole fish were, put his hand into the water, and released his true qi again, and released the true qi to the limit state that it could be used at present.
The tadpole fish were still so alert, and soon discovered the breath released by Ling Chen, but when they wanted to escape, they found that it was too late, and Ling Chen used his true qi to lock them up in that corner.
"Hehe, look where you are fleeing!" Ling Chen looked at the tadpole fish that had been controlled by himself, and a smug smile appeared on his face.
And when the tadpoles saw that they were actually locked in the water by an unknown force, they also panicked, and after swimming frantically in the corner a few times, they actually pushed their stomachs up and died!
"What!" Seeing that the tadpole fish were actually dead, Ling Chen couldn't believe it, and only after taking one of them out of the water did he believe that these fish were really very timid, and he was really scared to death after realizing that he was trapped.
"This is too timid, how can this make people do it!" Looking at the dead tadpole fish in his hand, Ling Chen felt speechless for a while, if he didn't change the method, then he would not be able to complete the first stage of cultivation given to him by the old man if he scared all the fish in the pond to death, and this was only the first stage, there were still two stages left, could he really finish it in half a month!
……
"Whew! The nearest distance is only about half a meter, and after more than half a meter, no matter how small the true qi is, these fish can find it! Ling Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead, and after several hours of practice, he finally narrowed the safe distance between himself and the tadpole fish to half a meter, but no matter how he reduced the last half meter and released his true qi, he would still be noticed by the tadpole fish.
"Damn, how can these fish not be noticed!" Ling Chen grabbed his hair and was on the verge of collapse, and suddenly a flash of light flashed in his head, "Hey, why do these little fish gather together without any fear, is there any connection between their kind!" ”
At this moment, Ling Chen seemed to have found the trick that the old man had arranged for him to cultivate, and a new realm seemed to beckon him......
