Chapter 11: The Way of Cultivation

The maid was kicked out of the living room, and Lia sat quietly outside the door of the living room with a cup of fragrant black tea.

It was tea time, and although she was not accompanied by her best friend, there was still a beautiful little round table in front of Lia, and on the sixth layer of silver-inlaid gold trays, there were enough exquisite refreshments for ten noble ladies to enjoy.

Liya wore a special afternoon tea dress, squinting and smiling as she tasted the deliciousness.

The maids who were chattering on weekdays and wished to come to Liya, whether they were favored or not, disappeared without a trace at this moment.

The corridor where Lia was, within hundreds of feet to the left and right, was empty, and there was not a single ghost.

In the living room, the voices of father and son were faintly heard, and the long corridor was more and more quiet. Liya sighed with satisfaction, this kind of family warmth made her enjoy it very much!

As for what Hesse and Joe were discussing, it was only a trivial little embellishment of this peaceful and happy life.

It's like a few small raisins on the piece of Black Forest cake in front of her, which is nothing more than a little more change in the taste of life, a little more sweetness, that's all.

Hesse and Joe sat side by side on the couch with the pale gold pamphlet in front of them.

The smoke released by the cigar was vague, and Hesse's low voice echoed in the smoke, and the atmosphere in the living room became a little mysterious and a little more depressing.

The Three Seas and Seven Veins Cultivation Method, in the information released to the public, is the most orthodox and 'only legal' cultivation system in the Metland Continent.

At the utterance of the word 'only legitimate,' Hesse shrugged his shoulders, pursed his lips, and stroked his machete-like beard vigorously. He motioned for Joe to stand up, and reached out to point to Joe's body.

Heart, sea of power.

The lower abdomen, the sea of energy.

The center of the eyebrows, the spiritual sea.

This is the foundation of cultivation, a strong foundation, and the most important 'three seas'.

Hesse began to explain the cultivation path of the Sea of Power.

The physiological structure of the human body, which determines the pure physical strength of the human body, has a theoretical limit.

"For example, Joe, a normal healthy man, after hard workout, his physical strength is about six hundred pounds. Even the barbarians from the northern part of the Northern Ice Ocean, the terrible Storm Ice Field, are even bigger than you, and their innate extreme physical strength is no more than a thousand pounds. ”

"And normal people, the strength they have is about half of the ultimate strength of the race they belong to, or even one-third, or even less."

Strengthen the body, exercise strength, accumulate blood qi in the heart, wait until the foundation of life energy is completed, mobilize the blood and qi of the whole body with secret techniques, condense, compress, and explode, and open up the sea of power in one fell swoop, so as to break through the limits of the human body, and obtain stronger physical strength.

"As long as you can open up a sea of power, you can break through the limits of physical strength. Anyone who opens up a sea of power, we call it a 'warrior'. And any warrior, no matter what human race they come from, even the most delicate woman, can possess more than a thousand pounds of pure physical strength. ”

After the Sea of Power is opened, the goal of cultivation is to use life energy, or in other words, to use one's own blood and qi to constantly nourish the Sea of Power, and constantly temper the Sea of Power, so that it will 'grow in volume and strength', so that it will be able to hold more and higher quality blood and qi, until it reaches the limit of the Sea of Power opened up by itself.

"With cultivation, the sea of power continues to consolidate and become stronger, and the physical body continues to grow and evolve, and the power that a warrior has will become stronger and stronger. Three thousand pounds, five thousand pounds, even ten thousand pounds. The stronger the sea of power, the stronger the power. ”

The breathing method is the nourishment and tempering method of the sea of power. How to make more effective use of blood and qi, how to form a 'bigger' sea of power, and how to make the sea of power more 'solid'.

"Cultivating the breathing method to the extreme, the sea of power can no longer progress, and the 'warrior' who has reached the extreme is called a strong warrior."

Different breathing methods, different cultivation efficiency, and different final achievements.

The same race, the same qualifications, the same height and weight, and even give them the same cultivation resources. Depending on the breathing method, the final achievement of the Sea of Power is different. They are also strong warriors, some people can defeat thousands of troops after completing the cultivation of the Sea of Power, while others can only defeat a few ordinary soldiers.

This shows the importance of breathing.

"Of course, in addition to the cultivation method, what is more important is the potion." Hesse said very seriously: "All kinds of wonderful potions have extremely important significance in the path of cultivation. Without potions, even if you are a genius, it will be difficult for you to grasp truly powerful power. ”

Qiao nodded slightly, he didn't have much of an idea of potions.

Hesse shrugged his shoulders and muttered, continuing to explain.

People consume blood all the time.

Sitting, walking, running, fighting, the more strenuous the exercise, the more blood and qi are consumed.

The more blood qi is consumed every day, the less blood qi can be used to nourish and temper the sea of power, and the slower the speed of cultivation.

Life energy, or blood qi, cannot be nurtured by itself, but can only be replenished through the outside world.

The higher the sugar content, the higher the fat and other ultra-high-calorie foods, the more it can replenish blood gas.

However, the human body has limited functions, and the food that can be swallowed and digested every day is limited, and the blood gas obtained by ingesting food every day is also limited.

The cultivation elixir came into being, a small basic elixir, which can provide blood qi energy, comparable to a big fat man like Qiao eating Haisai for several days.

It took half an hour for Hesse to teach Joe the basic concepts of cultivation.

Subsequently, Hesse opened the pale gold pamphlet and explained the "Basic Breathing Method of the Imperial Army" in detail, word by word.

It is said to be a basic breathing method, but in fact, this breathing method is extremely complicated.

The subtle breathing rhythm varies in length, severity, and time intervals, and there are dozens of changes in the frequency of a single exhalation and inhalation.

In addition to the rhythm of breathing, there is also a combination of movement and static exercises.

There are more than 100 strange ways to run. Run with your head up, run with your head down, run with your head down, run sideways, run backwards, run with a jump, run with your heels turned over...... There is a strong wildness in all kinds of strange running methods, and when Jo listens to Hesse's explanation, he seems to see a terrible behemoth running rampant in the wild land.

When running, it is necessary to closely cooperate with the breathing method.

The rhythm of each movement is different, and the slightest mistake may damage the lungs, reverse the blood qi, and damage the body.

Jinggong, on the other hand, is dozens of bizarre static postures.

Lie flat, on your side, on your stomach, curled up, with your head down, your head up, your limbs raised, your belly raised...... Or tuck your head under your knees, or fold your body back into a rounded ball......

In a strange and strange posture, Joe's pupils slowly rotated around the three-round six-pointed star magic array, and he listened to Hesse's explanation through the human form depicted in the booklet, as if he had seen the wild behemoth just now, rolling lazily in the lair, yawning lazily and preparing to fall asleep.

It was nearly dusk, and Hesse finally finished his explanation.

"You are now cultivating the Sea of Power, so you only have the basic breathing method of cultivating the Sea of Power. When you advance, there will naturally be advanced breathing methods. ”

Hesse picked up the booklet, stood up, and looked down at Joe.

"The initial period of opening up the sea of power is the golden time when you make the fastest progress and are the easiest to cultivate."

"I happened to give you half a month of sick leave, so let's cultivate, Joe."

The length and width of the cultivation room were a hundred feet away, and the height was twenty feet, and everywhere in sight, there were huge bricks carved from black basalt, and the cracks of the bricks shimmered with a cold metallic light, obviously made of molten steel.

This is the Vetu family, the Hessian special cultivation room, and Gorgin, who joined the army, also frequented here for more than two years.

The cultivation room was empty, except for a stone table in the southwest corner, and there was nothing else in the huge space.

On the stone table, on a row of metal supports, dozens of delicate crystal test tubes were neatly stacked, and in the test tubes the thickness of thumbs and a foot long, there was a viscous scarlet liquid.

Qiao walked to the stone table curiously, picked up a crystal test tube, pulled out the stopper, and sniffed carefully.

"Is this the thing? Damn, I remember it. ”

Joe frowned, crooked his mouth, and spat at the ground.

The pungent fishy smell is an indescribable smell, like countless toads, stinky herrings, rotten jellyfish, and swill that have been fermented for more than half a year.

It was a terrible smell that made one lose all hope in life.

It's a taste Joe is all over the place.

For as long as he can remember, when he was about three years old, every other week, before he went to bed, he would be poured a large bowl of fresh tiger milk. In the already fishy tiger milk, there was a terrible fishy smell.

As he grew older, the frequency of Joe's being fed tiger milk gradually increased.

From a bowl every seven days, it gradually grew to a bowl every three days, a bowl every two days, and finally when Joe was thirteen years old, he had to drink a liter of hot tiger milk every night before going to bed.

And the fishy smell in the tiger's milk also became stronger and stronger as he aged.

At first, Joe was rolling on the floor, crying and spitting for refusing to drink such a terrible drink, and according to the description of Gorkin that Joe had heard when he grew up, the Veturs were like butchers killing pigs, and Leah hugged Joe, and then Hesse violently broke his mouth and poured tiger milk into his throat with a blowpipe.

As he grew older, Joe stopped resisting, and by the age of thirteen he was able to drink his share of the night without changing his face.

Hesse stood aside, laughing, and slapping his belating beer belly in a comfortable manner.

"Familiar taste, isn't it? Dear Joe, this is this baby, the basic strength potion, one hundred gold marks! ”

Hesse exclaimed loudly: "Think about it, dear Joe, how many golden and charming golden marks have you drunk since you were a child? ”

Joe raised the test tube in his hand, shrugged his shoulders, grimaced at Hesse, and drank it down.
