"To practice the basics, you have to start by splitting stones!"

After a while, Jiang Xiaoshu's thin figure suddenly appeared at the door, holding a huge boulder in his arms, and dragging an equally large stone on the hemp rope tied around his waist, but his face was completely exhausted, and he looked at Xu Xingchen with a smile on his face.

Xu Xingchen glanced him up and down, his eyes fell on the two boulders in his arms and behind him, he was slightly startled, and said, "Splitting stones?"

"That's right, splitting stones is the basic skill of this cultivation method, when I only broke through the second layer back then, I also practiced for a long time, and I didn't stop until I entered the Immortal Xuan realm. ”

The second senior brother, who had the highest cultivation among several people, explained with a smile.

Although Xuyunmen is the second largest immortal cultivation sect today, the exercises are the first mysterious and decent exercises in the world. According to the cultivator's Taoism, the Void Cloud Exercise is divided into five levels: Human Xuan, Earth Xuan, Heavenly Xuan, True Xuan, and Divine Xuan, and within each level, it is divided into five realms.

Those who practice the Xuyun Exercise must be pure in heart and pure will, thoroughly comprehend the subtleties in Taoism with their own talents, and with the time and effort of cultivation, they will be able to cultivate diligently and advance to a higher level.

It is said: The Tao is a thing, but it is in a trance. In a trance, there is an image, in a trance, there is a thing in it, in the secret, there is a essence, the essence is very true, and there is faith in it. From ancient times to the present, its name does not go to read the public.

The Void Cloud Exercise is just like this, there is reality in the void, there is void in the reality, the heaven and the earth are condensed, and the Tao is more refined.

In this exercise, the human realm is the foundation of cultivation, and it can be attained by disciples with poor qualifications. The top level of the Renxuan Realm is the Chenghua Realm, followed by the fourth layer of the Yuan Shadow Realm.

Ordinary disciples cultivate, when they break through the first heaven of the human mystery, it only takes about two or three months, and after breaking through, they will master the most basic sword skills, and at the same time prepare to break through the second heaven and enlighten the immortal realm. Although the second heaven is only one level higher than the first heaven, because it is not comparable to the state of mind, only in terms of talent and diligence, it is very difficult to cultivate, and many people with extremely mediocre qualifications are at this time, they don't know anything, and they may not be able to break through after cultivating for decades. And disciples with slightly better qualifications can also cultivate in about two years.

In the third Heavenly White Abyss Realm, it was even more difficult to cultivate. However, as long as the cultivation is successful, you will definitely achieve great gains. As long as a disciple can break through the second layer of heaven within three years, and spend more than twenty years of hard work, he can also break through.

Jiang Xiaoshu walked up to Xu Xingchen with the boulder, put it down with difficulty, and untied the hemp rope around his waist, his face suddenly relaxed.

Xu Xingchen nodded understandingly, and the second senior brother continued: "Xingchen, your task is to split stones. This task is very simple, just split one stone a day, and we will come to you tomorrow to check the results!"

"Yes!"

Xu Xingchen immediately clenched his fists and agreed.

Several senior brothers in the Qingying Peak nodded, said goodbye to Jiang Xiaoshu and Xu Xingchen, and got up and left one after another.

Xu Xingchen immediately jumped out of bed, came to a cabinet not far away, and took out an extremely large and heavy axe from the drawer. But seeing that the axe was so sharp that it could be cut off by the wind with a slight swing, it was as if everything that was indestructible was as fragile as an ant in front of it.

With this axe, it is not a problem to split one piece a day, even ten pieces a day.

Xu Xingchen took the axe and waved it lightly in mid-air, full of confidence.

"Xingchen, you're going to split stones with this stone axe?"

Jiang Xiaoshu was shocked and asked with a forced smile.

Xu Xingchen nodded, not knowing why Cheng He asked.

Jiang Xiaoshu sighed helplessly and said, "If you use this stone axe to split stones, you won't be able to accumulate much skill in a few years. If you really want to practice the basic skills, you have to split empty-handed. ”

"Empty-handed split?!"

After Xu Xingchen heard this, he was shocked.

Jiang Xiaoshu seemed to have guessed that he would be so surprised, but he just smiled and said, "Xingchen, it's not that difficult to split this stone, I'll show you how to demonstrate!"

Only then did Xu Xingchen understand Jiang Xiaoshu's intention of dragging the two stones, nodded, and looked at Jiang Xiaoshu expectantly.

Jiang Xiaoshu squatted in front of a boulder and pulled his sleeves up, revealing most of his arms. But seeing that he closed his eyes, took a long breath, and focused all his thoughts on his palm, the blue light around his body suddenly rose.

Suddenly, I saw him raise his right palm and slash towards the boulder with lightning speed, and the strong wind under his sleeve suddenly whistled.

"Boom-"

In the next second, the extremely hard-looking boulder shattered into several halves. The gravel flew up with his strength, flying and falling in the air, and the room was suddenly filled with flying sand and stones, which was quite spectacular.

Xu Xingchen was surprised when he saw such a scene, and his mouth opened slightly. Jiang Xiaoshu stretched out his right palm to show Xu Xingchen, only to see that the side of his white and tender palm that had split the boulder was still white and tender, without any damage.

Xu Xingchen was even more surprised, looking at the stones that had been shattered to the ground with an incredulous expression, and then looked at Jiang Xiaoshu, only feeling that he seemed to have innate divine power.

Jiang Xiaoshu saw his surprised expression, and also got up to leave, and said, "Please." ”

Xu Xingchen nodded, and also pretended to be calm and sat down in front of another boulder.

"We'll come back to you tomorrow to check the results!"

Just as Jiang Xiaoshu stepped out of Xu Xingchen's room, he turned around and reminded again.

Xu Xingchen smiled and did not answer.

※※※

Xu Xingchen walked in front of the boulder and shook it vigorously, finding that the stone was really immovable and extremely tough. But such a stone was about to be split empty-handed, and the young man couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

He looked at his hands, his eyes full of timidity.

He took a deep breath and sat down. Thinking that this splitting stone was just a prerequisite for qi training, and thinking back to Jiang Xiaoshu splitting the boulder so easily, he felt that it would not be too difficult.

Thinking of this, Xu Xingchen was full of confidence, and he was a little eager to try. He wanted to imitate Jiang Xiaoshu's situation just now, so he also sat down, raised his hand high, concentrated all his strength, and prepared to slash towards the boulder......

"Bang ......"

"Ahh

Hearing only a muffled sound, Xu Xingchen shouted, this damn stubborn stone was unscathed, not to mention broken, even if it was broken, it couldn't find a crack at all. But after this heavy blow, Xu Xingchen's palms were numb and painful, holding his hands and baring his teeth, shouting loudly. Turning his eyes to the side of his hand, he saw that the place of impact had left a red and purple mark.

This stone is really just an ordinary stone, just one split makes me hurt, and there is almost no damage at all, to split it, it is simply a fantasy!

And what "the task is very simple, just split one stone a day". If this continues, let alone a day, even a year, ten years, or a hundred years, this extremely strong stone will not be split by his white and tender palms.

Xu Xingchen rubbed the scar and complained in his heart, but he had to adjust it and try to break the stubborn stone again.

He raised his hand again, used all his strength, and swung it down......

"Bang-"

He fell to the ground again in pain, blood oozing from the sides of his palm. He hugged his hands, and his face turned white with pain. But he was still undeterred, got up, and kept trying......

That night, Xu Xingchen faced the stubborn stone alone, sawing, chopping, pressing, splitting, grinding, and breaking, doing everything. The sides of his hands were constantly overflowing with red, and the stone was already soaked in layers of his blood. But the next morning, the stone still stood intact, as if mocking him.

At this moment, a whistle came, Jiang Xiaoshu suddenly walked in, saw the completely undamaged boulder, looked at Xu Xingchen again, sighed and walked towards the stone, raised his hand and wanted to split it.

"Xiaoshu, what are you doing?"

Before Jiang Xiaoshu's hand fell, Xu Xingchen hurriedly stopped him and hurriedly asked.

"I'll help you chop!"

Jiang Xiaoshu said.

"Xiaoshu, this is my task after all, I'll just do it myself!" Xu Xingchen was stubborn by nature and said.

"Your senior brother is going to come to check your homework soon, if you can't split it, you will have time to be scolded later. ”

Jiang Xiaoshu sighed helplessly and said with his forehead.

Xu Xingchen was still unconvinced, and said, "I'd rather be scolded than you help me cheat." ”

Jiang Xiaoshu saw that he was so stubborn, and he was really helpless, so he had to shake his head.

In a matter of moments, the four senior brothers walked in. Xu Xingchen looked at them and lowered his head in shame.

When the teenagers looked at the stubborn stone, their reactions were similar to Jiang Xiaoshu's, and Xu Xingchen was even more depressed.

"Senior brother is stupid and useless, please punish you!"

Xu Xingchen clenched his fists and said, his heart was already uneasy.

Cheng He and the others glanced at each other and sighed in disappointment, but they didn't mean to scold.

He tried to calm down his state of mind and said to Xu Xingchen: "That's it, the cultivation of the Fa is not an overnight thing, and the path of cultivation is also bumpy, so we shouldn't blame you for anything." It's just that because of the seal, your talent is really insufficient, and if you want to win that game in five years' time, I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult. ”

The faces of the other teenagers were also very heavy, and Xu Xingchen also knew that what Cheng He said was completely correct, and his heart was even more sad.

For a moment, the whole room was silent.

Jiang Xiaoshu saw that the atmosphere was not right, and hurriedly forced out a smile, patted Xu Xingchen's shoulder and comforted: "What are you afraid of, isn't there still five years to go?" Although it can only be like this now, there will always be a way in the future, there will always be a way." ”

After hearing this, Cheng He nodded, his eyes couldn't help revealing endless loneliness, and said, "Yes, now it's the only way to go." ”

Xu Xingchen looked at a few people, clenched his fists, and secretly made up his mind that he must work harder to cultivate the exercises in the future.

Mother, don't worry, my son will definitely avenge you!
