Volume 1: A Boy Comes from the Mountains Chapter 59 Building the Foundation
The wind and clouds inside and outside Canglan Mountain are surging, but the thatched hut is still calm here.
Chenfeng studied diligently every day, and Chen Qingqing was still bored, walking around with Chenfeng every day. Only Lian Chengyu seems to be a little less lazy, and the frequency of meeting Yuan Cheng is obviously much higher.
On this day, the rain was pouring down, and the morning breeze tinkered with the medicinal herbs in the thatched hut all morning, and successfully refined several Qi Replenishing Pills.
The Qi Replenishing Pill is a third-order pill, and although Chenfeng is only refining a low-grade Qi Replenishing Pill, this also means that Chenfeng is already a genuine third-order alchemist.
"That's right, kid, you can refine the third-order lower grade pill, what is the success rate?"
Just when Chenfeng got up to clean up the Dan furnace and the dregs of the medicine, Lian Cheng appeared in front of him with eyebrows and rat eyes, and deliberately accentuated his tone on that "inferior product".
"Hehe, eight hundred years ago, you could refine the three-grade pill, the success rate is so-so, it's a little higher than ninety percent. ”
I don't know if I was dissatisfied with Lian Chengyu's recent neglect of his own practice or deliberately ridiculed, I didn't raise my head in the morning, ignored the careful thinking of Lian Chengyu's exhortation, and learned that Lian Chengyu replied in a tone that was not salty or light.
"Yo he! You are good at things, and you can talk with a gun and a stick? Shaoxia wants the rhythm of great achievements today?" Obviously, compared to playing treasure and making a mistake, Chenfeng is really a small thing compared to Lian Chengyu.
"Uncle Lian, I may be about to build a foundation. Knowing that it was unwise to talk to Lian Chengyu, Chenfeng changed the topic and mentioned the current business of his own practice.
Lian Chengyu thought for a while, put away his smile, and said categorically: "It's a good thing, this cultivation speed is so-so, then three days later, it happens to be your eleventh birthday, and the foundation will be officially built in three days." ”
"What do you want to prepare?" asked Morphyllal, a little puzzled.
"Ready, you just need to adjust your own state to the best, and I will leave the rest to the old man, pity my hard work...... " Lian Chengyu said and began to be serious again.
"Uncle Lian, what about building the foundation, ......?" Chenfeng didn't know how to let Lian Chengyu continue to talk nonsense, so he interrupted decisively.
"Building the foundation is the true starting point of the path of all living beings, and what is built is the foundation of the path. Without waiting for Lian Chengyu to speak, Chen Qingqing flashed in from outside the door, looked at the morning breeze and said with a smile. And Chenfeng didn't pay special attention to the words "all living beings" in Chen Qingqing's words. ”
Lian Chengyu took Chen Qingqing's words, and said with a serious expression: "Hundred days of foundation building, refining valley refinement, refining and refining qi, refining qi and transforming gods, refining gods and returning voids, and practicing the path of void is a well-known path of cultivation in the world. ”
"Strengthen the body, induce qi?" Chen Feng was puzzled, from the Jianghu novel that Lian Chengyu threw to him, Chen Feng always thought that the exercises and elixirs were the root of the rise of the strong, how could it become an auxiliary in Lian Chengyu's mouth?
"What's incomprehensible about this, if the body is weak and can withstand the influx of heaven and earth aura? If you can't induce qi or can't reasonably induce qi into the body, how can those so-called exercises be performed?"
"Uncle Lian, didn't you say before that the realm of cultivation is divided into foundation building, knotting, yuanying, channeling and the like, why do you now say that it is refining the valley and refining the essence, refining the refining and refining the qi, and so on?"
"It's a different meaning, it's just a different way of saying it, it's like... It's like calling a cat Mimi. Chen Qingqing said with a smile.
"The realm you are talking about is the so-called great realm, which is a general concept, and each realm is divided into the front, middle, and late stages or the triple heavens according to the level of cultivation. Its essence is actually the same thing as my realm, for example, the Jindan realm is a level between refining the valley and refining the refining and refining the qi, and its essence is nothing more than to open up the meridians and then refine the vitality to store the dantian, and then gradually gaze at it, and go straight to the condensation and refinement of the real thing. At this moment, Lian Chengyu, who is serious, explained the problem in simple terms, and only then did he have a trace of superior demeanor.
Next, with the help of Lian Chengyu and Chen Qingqing, Chenfeng finally had a preliminary understanding of the cultivation realm and the essence of each realm.
"I'm going to be eleven years old, and the past few years have passed so fast. ”
After Lian Chengyu finished his explanation, he immediately slipped away on the grounds that he needed to prepare foundation materials. Leaving Chenfeng and Chenqingqing sitting side by side in front of the door, Chenfeng looked at the boundless rain curtain in front of him, and sighed for no reason.
"That's good. Chen Qingqing listened to the rare emotion of the morning breeze, and said a good nonsensical word, I don't know what the so-called good means.
"By the way, Qingqing, how old are you?" After getting along for a long time, Chenfeng seemed to be accustomed to Chen Qingqing's reply to the donkey's lips and horses' mouths, so he changed the question, this is not the first time Chenfeng asked Chen Qingqing's age.
"I'm older than you anyway!" Chen Qingqing still didn't say it explicitly, not because she didn't want to, but she didn't know how to say it, but she didn't explain too much.
"And what is your birthday?" Morrowind asked again.
"It was the day we first met by the lake. This time, Chen Qingqing replied briskly.
"That day, but I can't remember what day it was. ”
"I forgot too. ”
"I have a good memory, wait until I think about it. ”
"Hmm"
The two of you are talking to me, and there is a conversation between you and me.
As someone who claimed to have a good memory fell into deep thought, he fell silent again. Only the sound of raindrops falling on the roof and the ground can be heard clearly and tinkling, which is very beautiful.
"Eh, I can't remember. After a long time, Chenfeng sighed and said dejectedly.
"That's okay, I'll think about it later when I have time. Chen Qingqing said with a smile.
Morrowind was silent, not knowing whether it was acquiescence or still thinking about it and not coming back to his senses.
"The most beautiful April day in the world. What does that mean? I read it in the book yesterday. Looking at the rain curtain, Chen Qingqing whispered, not knowing whether to ask or talk to herself.
"Isn't it now? It's raining and thundering, and I can't get out, I don't think it's beautiful. "Chenfeng still heard Chen Qingqing's words, and explained it very... Authentic.
"That's right, who says it's not?" After a slight pause, Chen Qingqing reconsidered in a low voice.
"I also have a lot of things I don't understand. Feeling that Chen Qingqing's mood didn't seem to be high, Chenfeng lamely comforted him, and clumsily expressed his empathy.
"Oh, what?" Chen Qingqing sat on the threshold, holding her chin with her hands, and turned her head to look at the young man who said that she was about to turn eleven, smiling like a flower.
Chenfeng looked at the smiling faces close at hand, and his heart swayed a little.
What a lovely face, her skin is better than snow, elegant and refined, her eyes are like a clear spring bottomless, her eyebrows and eyes are smiling, but there is a luxurious atmosphere, which makes people feel ashamed of themselves.
"Hey!" Seeing that Chenfeng was in a daze, Chen Qingqing waved her little hand lightly in front of Chenfeng's eyes and snorted softly.
"Oh, oh, it's the sentence in "Words in the World" 'Life is between heaven and earth, suddenly like a distant traveler.' When he came back to his senses, Chenfeng was a little cramped, and he hurriedly expressed his doubts.
"Life is between heaven and earth, suddenly like a distant traveler. ”
Chen Qingqing repeated gently, instantly thinking of a lot of past personnel, and seemed to have a deep understanding of this, and silently recited a good word in his heart.
It's just that when he turned his head and was about to explain, he saw Morrowind's innocent face, so he changed his mind temporarily and said, "I don't understand very well." ”
Morrowind didn't think much about it. Next, the two continued to whisper under the rain curtain, chuckling from time to time, until Lian Chengyu yelled that he was hungry and reluctantly ended the conversation.
Three days passed in a hurry, and this continuous spring rain only stopped last night, and it was precisely because of this that Chenfeng got a rare rest, and his physical condition was unprecedentedly good.
In the early morning, as soon as he went out, Chenfeng was surprised to find that two large vats with a height of one person were placed in the courtyard, and Lian Chengyu was chattering to add medicinal herbs to them.
Seeing Chenfeng coming over, Lian Chengyu turned his head and said with a smile: "I have to hold back later, I can't waste the savings of most of my life, old man, right?"
"That's most of your life savings? Isn't it?" Morrowind also made a rare joke with Lian Chengyu in a serious way.
"Is that okay?" Lian Chengyu laughed evilly, and stopped looking at the morning wind.
When Chenfeng finished his morning routine for more than half an hour, even Chengyu was ready. So Chenfeng jumped naked into one of the tanks when the little black dog and Chen Qingqing were still asleep, and began the process of building his own foundation.
Accompanied by the rich aroma of herbs, the morning breeze felt the water temperature rising. Slowly, all the pores of the body opened, all the cells became active, the speed of blood flow increased significantly, and even the sound of his own heartbeat seemed to be clearly audible, and the morning breeze felt comfortable all over his body.
But the good times didn't last long, and before the morning breeze could enjoy the warmth that was a hundred times more comfortable than a hot bath, the pain came suddenly. Strangely, the morning breeze felt unbearably hot without seeing how much the water temperature had risen, and it was from the inside out, from the depths of the bone marrow to the bones, from the internal organs to the blood vessels and skin.
Just when the scorching heat inside made the morning breeze unbearable, to add insult to injury, the temperature of the water in the tank suddenly rose to a hot level. Under the internal and external attacks, Morrowind only felt as if he was on fire around him, inside and out, and even breathed as if he was shuttling with magma in his throat.
After gritting his teeth in such heat for about an hour, the morning breeze finally couldn't bear it anymore and lost consciousness after screaming.
"The kid can bear it. Looking at the morning breeze sleeping in the jar, Lian Chengyu, who was still continuing to put herbs in the jar, had relief in his eyes.
In the chaos, the morning wind seemed to be in a dream, and he only felt that thousands of steel needles were constantly piercing his body, but he couldn't shout.
The torment didn't end until near noon, and when the morning breeze woke up, he was already in another tank.
The cold feeling washed from head to toe, how can that feeling be a cool word to describe! But it was still a good time for long, and it didn't take long for the morning breeze to feel the first extreme of life. After experiencing extreme heat, it fell into extreme freezing.
Maybe it's Lian Chengyu's kindness, and the feeling of being cold and heartfelt didn't feel too much and the morning breeze soaked in the jar like an ice sculpture, the water in the jar was still steaming, and there was a frozen morning breeze standing in the middle, and the picture was even weird.
