Xu Chen was gloomy, he had been thinking about his dead parents, and he hated to kill the demons in the world to avenge this blood sea of revenge. The old man's words were to the point, and it was precisely for this reason that he couldn't calm down when he was cultivating, and the appearance of his parents who died tragically often appeared in his mind, so he hadn't made much progress in his spell cultivation.

"Cultivation is the most taboo and has distracting thoughts, if you can't let go of your attachment, it will naturally be difficult to understand the mystery of cultivating immortals. The old man continued: "The Yuan Infant Realm is just the lowest realm of cultivating immortals, as long as you fuse your own true qi, break through the various meridians in your body and eventually form a small Zhou Tian cycle, then your true qi can burst out of your body and condense into a soldier, causing damage to the enemy." ”

The old man's words were simply an initiation, Xu Chen was originally an impatient person, he used to be unable to cultivate, but now after understanding the reason, he immediately sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes lightly and cultivated according to the instructions of the new master.

The old man smiled slightly, ignored him, took out a copy of "Zhou Yi" from his long sleeves, sat on the stone bench in the courtyard and read it.

Sure enough, with the guidance of a famous teacher, this cultivation was very different from the past, and Xu Chen was pleasantly surprised to find that the true qi was running extremely smoothly, and it flowed gently in all corners of his body like a stream.

What surprised him even more was that when the True Qi passed through each acupuncture point, the original feeling of occlusion no longer existed, and not only that, but not only that, but it also gave him an indescribable sense of pleasure.

By urging his true qi to circulate through the meridians over and over again, Xu Chen clearly felt that the energy contained in his body had climbed to a limit, which caused his dantian to swell and ache a little.

"Now it's time to slow down and return to the dantian. ”

Xu Chen secretly sighed, followed the trajectory of the true qi, and began to guide them back to the original place.

"Bang, bang......"

True Qi surged towards the dantian like a stormy wave, and there seemed to be a heavy hammer in the lower abdomen, which shook Xu Chen's eardrums.

But Xu Chen was unmoved, under the high concentration of his spiritual power, all the true qi was instilled into the dantian, and then they fell silent again, like a little glimmer on the surface of a calm lake.

Although this aura is small, the chain reaction it can cause is like a crack in the ice surface that melts in early spring, gradually spreading outward.

Xu Chen knew that his cultivation had reached a bottleneck, he gritted his teeth and worked hard to persevere, in the past, he was always distracted at this critical moment, causing himself to fall short, but now he was fully engrossed, and his consciousness was walking freely with his true qi.

Time passed imperceptibly, and the scattered true qi was gradually converging, becoming like a well-behaved pet obeying the traction of Xu Chen's spiritual power. At the same time, he also felt that the dantian was constantly giving birth to new true qi, surging and converging with the original true qi into a torrent.

Xu Chen was secretly happy, driving all the true qi to run towards the various meridians of the body, as long as they went back and forth smoothly again, then the small Zhou Tian cycle mentioned by the old man would be completed, and this cultivation could also be successfully concluded.

Finally, after running the last cycle, the true qi returned to the dantian again smoothly and was stored, and Xu Chen's strength also rose to a new height.

At this time, he only felt that his body was light, as if there were clouds around him, and he stood up as light as a swallow in an instant.

"It seems that you have comprehended the mysteries of the Yuan Infant Realm, and you should have reached the second layer by now. The old man put down the book and walked towards Xu Chen with a smile.

What, I already have the strength of the Yuan Infant Realm, and I have directly soared to the second layer? Xu Chen suspected that he had heard it wrong, and he opened his eyes wide and said, "Master, don't tease me. ”

"You come with me. The old man led him out of the courtyard.

At this time, Xu Chen realized that the place where the new master lived was a strange building, this house was not like an ordinary family's residence, but it was a bit similar to the Taoist temple where the Taoist priest lived.

The whole house was tightly surrounded by high walls, except for a wing room in the southeast that looked like a bell tower, and in front of it stood a gong like an object. Other than that, there are no other buildings and decorations to be seen, just empty fields made of gravel.

Outside the gate, the old man pointed to a huge boulder on the side of the mountain road and said to Xu Chen, "You can punch it and try it." ”

This is not difficult, with Xu Chen's previous strength, he can also break ordinary rocks with one fist, but the volume of this stone is too large, Xu Chen is a little worried, afraid that he will make a fool of himself in front of the new master by mistake.

"Don't be afraid, don't you want to test your strength?"

Encouraged Xu Chen had self-confidence, he walked to the boulder and squinted his eyes, his right hand clenched into a fist, and his true qi surged towards his right arm, instantly condensed into the heart of the fist.

After taking a deep breath, he opened his eyes sharply and shouted, "Break!" Without the slightest hesitation, he punched at the boulder.

In the blink of an eye, something surprising happened under Xu Chen's nose, before his fist hit the boulder, his true qi burst out of his fist and condensed into a hammer to hit the boulder!

With a "boom", the air hammer slammed into the boulder, and the powerful force directly smashed it into debris and splashed it, and the crack-like cracks spread to all sides, spreading all over the boulder.

On top of the stone, the center of the fist's power, a deep pit had been recessed, but it had not penetrated the entire boulder.

Xu Chen was stunned, although he could run the True Qi before, he could only condense it in his fist to increase his attack power, but today was the first time that he did not rely on the power of the fist, but the True Qi directly burst out of his body and knocked this rock out of a big hole.

He subconsciously watched the true qi between his hands flash, and felt a huge leap in his strength, but after a moment of confusion, he laughed excitedly.

But the old man didn't have the slightest sense of reward, he looked down at the hole that Xu Chen hit on the boulder, and after a while, he frowned and said: "The strength is not enough, it seems that your talent for cultivating immortals is not much stronger than that of ordinary people." ”

After speaking, he gently patted the boulder with his hand, and before Xu Chen could see what was going on, countless water flashes burst out of the stone, and the boulder collapsed in front of him, shattering into a pile of stone chips.

Xu Chen was shocked and ashamed, and his admiration for the old man was extreme in an instant, but he immediately clenched his fists and said: "Although the apprentice's ability is not enough, I have accumulated rich combat experience, and I will definitely be able to become a god warrior through the selection competition next time!"

"With your current cultivation, it is no longer a problem to advance to the Divine Warrior. The old man sighed and said, "It's just that evil qi in your body, and now you can't suppress it, let alone dissolve it." ”

Xu Chen asked in surprise: "Then didn't I learn in vain?"

"If you can cultivate to the Qi Transformation Realm, you don't need the strength of others to suppress the evil qi, if you can go one level further and reach the Refining Void Realm, then it will not be difficult to completely dissolve it. ”

The Qi Transformation Realm and the Void Refining Realm were realms possessed by people at the level of God Fighters and God Generals, how could Xu Chen dare to expect that he could achieve such a cultivation, and he couldn't help but feel a little disheartened after hearing the old man's words.

The old man also said: "I worship the water system of the divine law of the mountain to emphasize the harmony and unity of the mind, qi and law, the so-called water is impermanent, and the flow is controlled by the land, if you blindly pursue the strength of the force, it is that the cultivation is not the law, and there is nothing to do in the ultimate life, you must not go this wrong way." ”

This is the biggest mistake Xu Chen made when he practiced before, and now he couldn't help but say happily after he understood it: "Thank you Master for your advice, the apprentice is a little stupid, but once people practice, I will practice for ten days, so why worry about not being able to improve my cultivation." ”

"I'm relieved that you can think so. The old man suddenly smiled and said, "Don't you say that I forgot, tomorrow is the last warrior trial of my Chongwu Mountain this year, you must not be late." ”

"If Master doesn't say it, the apprentice really forgot. I will definitely participate tomorrow, and I will never lose your old man's face!"

The old man just wanted to continue talking, but he suddenly coughed, opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood, Xu Chen was shocked, seeing that he was full of illness and haggard, he hurriedly asked, "Master, are you injured?"

"Alas, it's an old injury, my old bones, I'm afraid I won't live long. ”

"Master, what are you talking about? Xu Chen's heart was desolate, and he asked with concern, "Master, do you have any relatives?"

"I have no relatives. ”

Xu Chen suddenly felt sad, and said without thinking: "This barren mountain and wild mountain, you live here alone and no one takes care of it, or I will go back and tell Master Nangong, please move to live with me, I can take care of you when I am free." ”

The old man turned his face and glared at him, and said, "You think I'm old, don't you?"

Xu Chen suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing, and the master in front of him also warned him not to leak this matter to outsiders, why did he forget it in a blink of an eye, he touched the back of his head embarrassedly, not knowing what to say.

The old man suddenly asked him, "If you run into Tang Da Niu again, do you have the confidence to defeat him?"

Xu Chen replied honestly: "The difference in strength is too big, and I can't beat it." ”

"Yes, Tang Da Niu's strength is indeed stronger than you, you are only at the second layer of the Yuan Infant Realm now, and he has already reached the last layer. The old man paused for a moment, and then said, "But you must remember that you must be good at spotting the enemy's weaknesses when you are in battle. Although the difference in strength is too great, people can directly crush you, but as an opponent in the same realm, if you can find out his flaws, who wins and who loses, it may be impossible to say when the time comes. ”

"I remembered. Xu Chen knew that Master was cheering himself up.

At this time, it was almost dusk, and the old man said, "It's not early, you can go back first, and come to me when you encounter obstacles in your cultivation in the future." ”

"The apprentice will come back first, and I'll come back to see you tomorrow after the competition. ”

After returning home, Nangong Muyang also thought that his cultivation was hard, and he was busy bringing food for Xu Chen to eat. After eating, Xu Chen didn't dare to mention today's experience to his master, so he excused himself to be too tired to rest early and go back to his room.

In fact, Xu Chen didn't go to sleep at all, he covered the door and meditated on the bed to continue practicing, although the mantras taught by the old man during the day were said countless times by Nangong Muyang, but now that he has a new understanding, how can he not practice.
