Chapter 50: Jiang Chen's Cultivation (I)

On the river dozens of zhang wide, an iron-boned ship with a length of about 20 zhang sailed against the current. Two rows of giant oars stretch out from both sides of the ship's side and row in unison, pushing the big ship forward through the waves. Even fishermen, who live by the river all year round, rarely see such a majestic boat, and they all stop their oars and rudders and look here.

It was a warship, but it was not a marching sergeant on board, but a group of loose monks from all over the world. These Jianghu Dao heroes took warships and went up the river to the Xiliang Frontier.

Jiang Chen, Jiang Wu and the others were on this warship. The big ship does not sail fast, and it takes half a month to sail on the river alone, so during this time, they are very leisurely. There was nothing to do, Jiang Chen picked up a few books on the art of war that Li Xiucai gave him and read them. He was accustomed to reading the obscure ancient texts of "Ten Thousand Demon Spectrum", and then reading these military books, it was simply smooth, and it was only three or two days of effort, and he had finished reading several military books.

However, it is one thing to have seen it, and it is another thing to understand it or not. Jiang Chen has no experience in marching and fighting, and even if he reads through it, he only knows a little about it.

Even if it is a Daoxia, there will be seasickness, Junzhu took advantage of the warship to dock to add supplies, bought some medicinal materials, refined some pills, after these Daoxia took it, the seasickness symptoms were immediately relieved. Although this is a small matter, it makes Junzhu famous. Lan Jiusi even treated him as a guest.

Being idle is also idle, Jiang Chen began to ponder the path of cultivation. He had already written down the "Five Elements Basic Dao Method" that he had memorized, and then practiced it from scratch according to the exercises. Although Jiang Wu is practicing the way of the sword, the Five Elements Exercise is the foundation of the Dao, and Jiang Wu's foundation comes from half-guessing and half-colliding self-study, which is not reliable, so he also practiced this basic Dao method from scratch.

There are a total of nine layers of the Five Elements Basic Dao Method, and each layer has a set of meridian operation techniques for breathing and exhaling and cultivating aura, but each layer is higher and deeper than the other. The process of exhaling 9981 heaven and earth spiritual qi and refining one of the eight meridians of the Qi Jing into its own Dao Qi is called a small Zhou Tian, and according to the order of the meridians of the exercises, the Dao Qi flows smoothly along all the eight Qi Jing meridians once, which is a Great Zhou Tian. Being able to complete the eighty-one Great Zhou Heavens is even if the cultivation of this layer of exercises has been completed.

In the past, Jiang Wu cultivated the Dao, and the Dao method was incomplete, which was equivalent to cultivating a small Zhou Tian in each layer of exercises, but there was no complete big Zhou Tian. Because of his hard work, his talent, and his perseverance for several years, Jiang Wu can be regarded as having accumulated some Dao Qi through cultivation, but strictly speaking, he is still just getting started, and he is the existence with the lowest cultivation realm among cultivators.

This time, the mantra of the exercise is complete, the order and key points of the breathing of aura and meridian circulation are also very clear, and the exercises of the first layer are not difficult, Jiang Wu actually completed the first layer of exercises in one day and began to cultivate the second layer. After all, Jiang Wu had the foundation of his previous cultivation, and if he cultivated this basic technique, it would be a matter of course, and there would be no difficulty in the first few layers of exercises.

As for Jiang Chen, it finally took seven days to finally complete the first layer of exercises, and the first Xiao Zhou Tian gathered a trace of Dao Qi in his body. Although this faint qi was simply negligible, Jiang Chen was already very excited. Compared to before, this is already a qualitative leap, he didn't have a complete exercise before, but he couldn't complete even a trace of Dao Qi and a small Zhou Tian.

Calculated together, Jiang Chen's cultivation speed was less than one thousandth of Jiang Wu's, and his talent was extremely poor. But Jiang Chen was not depressed, as long as he could cultivate the Dao and persevere, he would eventually be able to cultivate some Dao methods.

But what made Jiang Chen depressed was that he had just cultivated the first Xiao Zhou Tian, and his headache immediately attacked, and the qi and blood in his body surged, and he had a splitting headache.

Fortunately, Junzhu was by her side, and she fed the elixir she had prepared to Jiang Chen, and Jiang Chen's headache gradually eased. And when Jiang Chen planned to cultivate the second Xiao Zhou Tian, he had a headache again.

"What should I do?" Jiang Chen was very distressed, the prescription left by his parents could only relieve the symptoms, but could not cure his headache. And if this headache is not solved, he will not be able to cultivate the Tao at all.

Jun Zhu was also very puzzled, she said: "You have a headache and a bad disease, I have tried several methods, but only the prescription you took out yourself has some effect. I'll try to improve the prescription a little bit and see if it can enhance the effect. ”

In the early morning of the second day, before dawn, Jiang Wu came to the deck of the highest level of the warship and practiced in the face of the river breeze. This is one of the exercises he must do every day. And when he came to the deck that day, he found that Junzhu was already here. She held up an umbrella, but placed it upside down.

"Sister Junzhu, why did you get up so early?" Jiang Wu asked suspiciously.

"You're just in time!" Junzhu said: "Help me collect the morning dewdrops, I changed the herbs in your brother's prescription, and replaced the original ordinary herbs with similar medicinal properties but higher quality elixirs, but this elixir must be boiled with early morning dewdrops in order to exert the best medicinal effect." ”

"It turns out that pharmaceutical alchemy is so exquisite!" Jiang Wu said with a sigh of surprise: "Sister Junzhu has been busy for a while, right?"

"It didn't take long!" Junzhu said, "I polished all the other medicinal herbs into powder, and I saw that it was almost dawn, so I came to collect the dewdrops." ”

"In this way, Sister Junzhu hasn't slept all night!" Jiang Wu said in surprise: "It's hard work, if my brother knows, he must be very moved!"

"Don't tell him!" Junzhu's cheeks flushed: "I'm not because of him, I just want to try a new prescription as soon as possible." ”

"Got it!" Jiang Wu smiled slightly: "Next time, if you need to polish the medicinal materials and other tiring work, leave it to me, Sister Junzhu, don't work too hard." ”

"How can it be so simple!" Junzhu said: "Polishing medicinal materials is also a very delicate work, different medicinal materials have different methods, a little careless, the essence of the medicinal materials will be lost, and the medicinal effect will be greatly reduced." ”

Jiang Wu smacked his tongue and said, "Interlaced lines are like mountains! It seems that we can't help!"

Jun Zhu said: "You just cultivate well, you don't have to worry about the pill." You are really diligent, you started cultivating so early, your brother is still lazy and sleeping. ”

"That's not it, my brother also got up early in the morning, and he saw that his cultivation was not going well, and he was studying the art of Dao talismans again. Jiang Wu said: "He said that he may have a way, even if he only cultivates a little bit of Dao Qi, he can protect himself." ”

"Really?" Jun Zhu showed curiosity on his face: "He has a lot of ghost ideas, maybe there is a way." However, with his cultivation talent and the strange problem of headaches, it would not be easy to cultivate even a little bit of Dao Qi!"
