Chapter 90: Late-mover advantage

Due to cultivation, the consumption of the sand scorpion is very large, and although Qin Tian has already deliberately controlled it, I am afraid that it can only support it for two more days at most, which makes Qin Tian and their hearts lift.

If the sandstorm doesn't stop for two days, they have no choice but to brave the sandstorm to go out in search of food and roads. In such bad weather, the hope of survival may be even more slim.

The continuous sandstorm made Li Ze feel a little relieved, and he fell into worry again.

I don't know if it's his own delusion, he feels that the temperature seems to be slowly dropping, the cold feeling has been eroding his body and mind, and a heavy pressure seems to linger in his heart all the time, making him feel suffocated.

He knew he had to do something, otherwise he would go crazy after a long time.

The exercises of the "Twelve Meridian Wheels" are also unable to directly absorb the aura in the air before opening up all the acupuncture points of the twelve canons and penetrating the bridge of heaven and earth.

It is a process that forms a complete internal circulation in the human body through internal strength, artificially creates an environment similar to negative pressure, so that the pressure in the external environment is slightly greater than the pressure in the human body, so that the human body is like a vacuum cleaner, through the pores, mouth and nose of the whole body, absorbing and filtering the spiritual power in the air, and turning it into a process required by itself.

Each layer of exercise is equivalent to a different power level, and the higher the level, the greater the power, and the higher the efficiency of natural absorption.

And now Li Ze's plan is to increase the gear and increase the efficiency of aura absorption, so that he can complete the accumulation of internal strength faster and reduce the risk of being frozen to death.

But everything is easy to think about, but hard to do.

In order to practice the exercises of the second layer of the "Twelve Meridian Wheels", one must first refine and open up all the acupuncture points of a canon.

This consumes a lot of time and internal energy, but fortunately, the replenishment of internal energy here is many times faster than that on the earth, otherwise Li Ze would not dare to think of such a thought.

The so-called "late-mover advantage" refers to people who lag behind others and want to catch up with their predecessors, but actually have a certain advantage.

He can learn from many successful experiences and paths of his predecessors, instead of spending a lot of time, energy, money and even life like his predecessors, to trial and error step by step, to open up and innovate.

This can greatly reduce the cost and risk of development and progress, but the results are often very significant, and there is a more fashionable word to describe this phenomenon in contemporary society, that is, "copycat".

There are many people who criticize the behavior of "copycats", believing that it is a wrong behavior, saying that it inhibits people's innovative thinking and is harmful to the development of the country, society and even individuals.

In fact, this view is very superficial, and it only sees the surface of the problem, but does not recognize the essence of the problem.

Everyone knows the importance of innovation, whether it is for the development and progress of the country and society, or for the growth of our personal ability, innovation is very necessary.

However, children have not even learned to walk, so they are clamoring to compete with others in synchronized running, do you think such an innovation is meaningful?

All innovation is based on a certain foundation, the so-called cup is overflowing, the cup is only filled with water, the excess will overflow, and the overflow is innovation. Before the foundation is laid, what kind of innovation is croaking, it is just lip service.

To be backward is to admit that we are backward, and there is no shame in learning from others.

Looking at the rise of several scientific and technological powers in the world, all of them started from "copycating" other countries.

Germany, a powerful country in science and technology, used to be the representative of inferior counterfeit goods in Europe; the United States, the "lighthouse country," has been approved by European countries for several decades as "copycats," and even many international intellectual property protection bills have been deliberately set up to restrict these two "copycat" powers, not to mention Japan and South Korea, which rose after World War II.

Of course, it is not possible to always copy other people's affirmations, and when you catch up with the level of your predecessors, there is nothing to "copycat" if you want to "copycat".

At this time, we must learn from our predecessors, spend a lot of time, energy, and money, and take huge risks to develop and innovate.

At this time, innovation is meaningful, otherwise someone else can't design a wheel that is round, and you have to change it to a square one in order to innovate, right?

Li Ze just planned to take advantage of the latecomer, anyway, Qin Tian had already personally tested it before, so what should he do, so Li Ze did not hesitate to choose to refine and open up the meridian acupuncture points of the Mingyang Stomach Meridian.

Opening up the meridians and refining the acupuncture points is a very consuming thing, and Li Ze also had to retain a part of the internal strength to warm and nourish the internal organs and maintain his body temperature, which made his internal strength suddenly become beyond his means.

But if you want to gain something, where can you not pay? No matter how difficult it is, you must grit your teeth and persevere, and you can't be looked down upon by the fat man Yanqiu!

Li Ze was secretly ruthless, he and the fat man Yan Qiu have been raising the bar and are not convinced by each other, this time it is the same, you can lose to anyone, but you must not lose to the fat man.

The cold wind was still raging, and the cave was not spared, and the whirring wind was never interrupted, but it was often disturbed by the sound of sand stirring in the cave.

Li Ze heard the fat man beside him lift the sand covering his body again, he silently calculated the time in his heart, and found that it was almost the same frequency as himself, and it seemed that he was not the only one who had the same intention.

Thanks to the help of the "Three Cleansing Records", the process of opening up the meridians is quite smooth, but refining the acupuncture points is a water mill kung fu.

It must first use soft energy to warm the acupuncture points, soften them, and then use the fierce force to continuously impact, this process will generally last for a long time, even if due to the abundant spiritual energy, the internal strength is many times more than when it was on the earth, and it will never be able to cross this process overnight.

Time was slowly passing, and for Li Ze, who was concentrating on cultivation, if it weren't for the fact that his stomach was so hungry that he gurgled, he probably wouldn't have known that another day had passed so quietly.

The cold wind outside the cave was still howling as always, and there was only a faint light in the sky, and I didn't know how long the sandstorm would last.

Qin Tian, Yan Qiu, Li Ze, and Liu Hai were all silently eating the frozen sand scorpions, and there were not many foods that were originally unpalatable.

After eating, everyone was in no mood to chat, just silently went down to cultivate.

After another unknown amount of time, Li Ze finally opened up all the meridian acupuncture points of the second canon.

At this time, the expected joy did not appear in his heart, he opened his eyes calmly, glanced at the dark hole, then closed his eyes again, picked up the sand on his body, and devoted himself to the cultivation of the "Twelve Warp Wheels".

When the internal energy circulated along the acupuncture points of the Hand Shao Yin Heart Sutra, with the momentum after acceleration, it violently entered the acupuncture points of the Zu Ming Yang Stomach Sutra.

After the acceleration of the heart, the speed increased again, and the rushing energy flow, circulating over and over again along the meridian acupoints, the suction in the body seemed to have increased significantly, and the aura in the air gathered one after another, entering the body along the mouth and nose and the expanded pores of the whole body, so that the fast-running internal strength slowly grew, and at the same time, part of it was integrated into his meridian flesh and blood in the process, so that his meridian flesh and blood were enhanced to a certain extent.

The cultivation of the "Twelve Warp Wheels" to the second level has improved Li Ze's aura absorption efficiency a lot, and also shortened the time he was exposed to the cold wind a lot.

This is undoubtedly a huge help for him, who is already weak in physique.

Li Ze, who tasted the sweetness, was trying to open up the third serious meridian and acupuncture point while warming his viscera, and he didn't know the passage of time.

When a faint ray of light shone on Li Ze's face through the hole, he was suddenly startled and opened his eyes suddenly, but his eyes were dazzled by the scorching light, and he temporarily lost his eyesight.

He hurriedly covered his eyes with his hands, and after a long while, he gradually regained his sight, and it turned out that the sandstorm outside the cave had stopped and the sun was out!

Li Ze rubbed his face vigorously a few times to sober himself up, and then opened his eyes wide and looked out, and it was bright and sunny in front of him! "Everyone, get up!"

"The sandstorm has stopped!

Li jumped up for joy, and he opened the hole that was almost half blocked by the sand, and shouted as he went.

"What? Sandstorm has stopped?"

The fat man lay next to Li Ze, and when he heard Li Ze screaming, he suddenly got up and opened his eyes, "Oh, my mother! My eyes can't see!"

As soon as the fat man opened his eyes, his eyes were dizzy and his eyes were stimulated by the fierce sun, and tears flowed down.

"Stupid you, close your eyes for a while and then open them!"

Liu Hai laughed happily, only to see him covering his eyes with one hand and propping up the ground with the other, slowly getting up.

And Qin Tian also woke up from his cultivation at this time, and he had always been on guard, so that Yan Qiu, Li Ze, and Liu Hai could cultivate with peace of mind.

But the sandstorm didn't stop for two days in a row, which made him also relax his vigilance, in the sandstorm environment, he believed that no creature would choose to come out to forage in this environment, so after that, Qin Tian also devoted himself to cultivation.

The aura of the Tianyun Continent is too abundant, and for the four people who came from an auraless environment like the earth, the aura aura is simply like in a dream.

As long as you practice a little, the aura will drill into your body from all over the body, and the pleasure of muscles and veins becoming stronger little by little, and the internal strength growing stronger by one is really a huge temptation, which makes people want to stop.

Especially Qin Tian, due to the exercises of the "Twelve Meridian Wheels", he had already refined all the meridians and acupuncture points of the eight meridians, and in the battle against the terrorists in the training base, he was also forced to increase the speed of his internal strength to eight times, so the efficiency of his current theoretical absorption of spiritual energy can also be eight times that of Yan Qiu.

However, because he injured the meridians before, he is still mainly recuperating from his injuries, and he has controlled the speed of his internal strength at four times the level for the first two days.

After the internal strength is full, first transport the "Qi and Blood Internal Forging Technique" to warm the viscera, and then use the "Three Cleansing Records" to nourish the injured meridians.

Due to his abundant internal strength, after only a little more than three days of recuperation, the injuries in his body have actually improved by one-fifth, and at this rate, it only takes about ten days for him to recover as before.

It was precisely because of this reason that he was completely immersed in cultivation, and even when the sandstorm stopped, he couldn't find out in time, but let Li Ze find out first.
