Chapter 16: Suddenly
Since Qu Qian arranged a formation course for him, Qu Yi's daily time for practicing qi has been much less than before, and the martial arts course has been halved. Thanks to the formation course, he benefited a lot and learned a lot of knowledge that he had not learned before. For example, the form of qi, the relationship between qi and formations, and so on.
He knew that qi existed between heaven and earth, but the vast majority of qi was in an inactive and inert state, and it would only become active when it was inhaled into the body and activated by qi practice.
Active Qi has strong energy, but it does not manifest itself in the human body because Qi is not stimulated. Formations and martial arts are the means by which the active qi is activated, allowing them to burst out with unimaginable power.
Human beings do not have power in themselves, they are just containers for absorbing and storing qi and props for activating and stimulating qi. Different Qi practitioners will have different activation states of Qi, so the strength of Qi is different for different practitioners.
The more advanced the Qi Practice, the higher the energy of the Qi activation. The more advanced the formation and martial arts, the stronger the energy that can be stimulated by the same level of qi.
After understanding this seemingly simple principle, many things encountered in the practice become easy to understand. Qu Yi also understood why the more advanced the Qi Cultivation Technique, the more complicated Zhou Tian would be, that was because the Qi absorbed from the outside of the body would have stronger energy after the activation of the longer the meridians.
While indulging in the study of formations, Qu Yi did not lose his breath in practice. Because the time for morning classes was compressed, he had to devote more time to practicing qi in the evening.
After confirming the strength of his meridians, he could let go of his hands and feet, and the process of dredging the meridians became quite smooth. The small meridians needed on his entire right arm had been unblocked. At this time, the bottleneck that he had been able to feel before was becoming more and more urgent, and when he was finally about to start the unblocking of the meridians in his left arm, he felt a feeling that he had never felt before.
The air mass that had been quiet in the dantian suddenly became restless when he warmed up, and the movement of the air mass suddenly accelerated without his control.
This sudden change made Qu Yi at a loss, and he thought that he had made a mistake. He immediately tried to control the unleashed wild horse-like air mass, but the air mass seemed to disown him, and it struggled savagely.
At this point, he felt like he was holding a mad dog, and he might be bitten back if he wasn't careful.
Suddenly, to Qu Yi's surprise, the acceleration of the air mass seemed to have an attraction. This attraction causes the qi that is circulating in the body to flow around the dantian whenever it reaches the vicinity of the dantian, a piece of it will be sucked out, and the piece that has been sucked off will flow into the dantian and be absorbed into the air mass.
The rest of the qi seemed to have been boosted, and the speed of Zhou Tian's movement suddenly increased. After a few weeks, every round was like this, and then he realized that it was very likely that the time for a breakthrough had come!
Thinking of this possibility, he was overjoyed. In order to test the truth, he slightly let go of his control over the air mass, and focused more energy on the movement of qi, continuing to accelerate the movement of qi in his body, and at the same time controlling his breathing, so that more qi could be inhaled into his body.
The air mass that had been released from control accelerated again, and it slowly shifted from the corner of the dantian to the center of the position. The spherical air mass slowly flattened as the rotation speed increased, and the absorbed air gathered around it, and a vortex centered on the air mass began to take shape.
At the core of the air mass, the air is compressed and gathered, and slowly begins to change from transparent to solid.
This made Qu Yi excited, such an obvious change must be because he was breaking through. So he let go of his control over the air mass, allowing it to continue to develop freely. The center of the air mass continues to gather, while the surrounding air masses continue to expand.
However, this process did not last long, and soon the expansion of the gas disk reached its extreme. The rotation velocity of the air mass at the center also slowly decreases, and the acceleration effect on the inner circumference also slowly decreases. Eventually, everything returned to calm, and only the originally spherical air mass turned into a saucer-like air disk.
This is the end? Qu Yi was a little unable to react. The end came too suddenly.
Slowly withdrawing from Qi training, Qu Yi found that it was pitch black in front of him, and he couldn't see his five fingers. It seemed that the night was already very late, but he was not sleepy yet.
Hurriedly entered the state of qi training again, this time he pulled out the qi from the qi disk, and the qi disk began to rotate faster with the qi coming out, as if he had stretched out an arm. Although it was not particularly obvious, he could feel that his qi was stronger than before, and the amount became more than before!
Only now did he dare to be convinced that he had indeed broken through!
With a long exhale, Qu Yi suppressed his excitement. He withdrew from the state of qi training and lay down on the bed, it was so late tonight, it was time to go to bed, and he would have to get up early tomorrow. Lying on the bed, he didn't know if it was because of the excitement of breaking through to become a second-class cultivator or because of something else, he opened his eyes and refused to come from sleepiness.
It had only taken him less than two months since he started feeling qi, but he had already broken through to a second-level cultivator. If such a speed were to be spoken, it would definitely surprise everyone, after all, Qu Xin and Qu Xu, who had started practicing with him, were still struggling with the introduction of Qi Practice.
He also knew what the reason why he was arranged by Qu Qian to take a formation class. If Qu Qian knew that he had broken through to a second-rank cultivator, he would definitely be surprised, so many restrictions still couldn't stop him from continuing to grow rapidly. So what will he do next?
Qu Yi didn't want to think about anything like that. He came back to his senses and focused on himself.
Many people say that cultivation depends on talent, so his talent should not be bad, whether it is innate, or because of the acquired adventures that have been forged the meridians. But now his talent is his.
If you want to live a peaceful and stable life, then it is best to follow Qu Qian's meaning, he doesn't have to work so hard, as long as his strength can follow Qu Xin and Qu Xu, and don't be left behind. Then he grew up steadily, and naturally he was able to find a place in the Qu family and continue to enjoy the life of a big family.
But isn't that a waste of the expectations of the predecessors who saved him? After all, who would help him forge his meridians and send them to everyone like the Qu family?
However, he didn't have any special ambitions, what did he want to do? Dominating one side? Starting a sect? Or Lian Cheng going to seek revenge on his enemies? He was not interested in the first two, and for the latter, he didn't even know what his biological parents' names were, or where they were.
What did he want when he crossed over into this world?
